Kelleen hesitated not from any

months"
Good Cd! then you're not the
Frisco Kid'?'
I'm all the Kid there ever was"
Kelleen admitted carelessy. THAT
party was simply manufactured to
order; here is where he ends his des
perate career. l would have kept the
secret awhile longer if l could, but per-
haps it is just as well. Now we un-
derstand each other, Garrity, and the
very best thing you can do will be to
answer my questions"
Kelleen paused, turning quickly
over in his mind what he had better
attempt. He felt profound con-
tempt for his prisoners. Meager, while
physical giant, was mentally no
more than a mere cowardly brute !;
Garrity might be truly dangerous "a
sly, treacherous villain, but physically
unable to cope with him for moment,
and now utterly cowed. While he re-
NAMED armed, and they were weapon
less, he certainly had nothing to fear.
His first intention had been to hold
the fellows as prisoners, until the
squad of troopers appeared; turn
them over to the lieutenant in COM
mand, searching the cave later at his
own leisure. But why wait? 1t might
be an hour, two hours yet, before the
soldiers arrived-and then there was

during those long, dark hours? Where
had she disappeared after he had
been dashed from the rock? She had

could not seek her until after his
men came. These prisoners were far
too important to be left unguarded.
| His duty as an officer held him as in
a wise.
But he realized at that moment a
decision that his heart was with Debo-
rah Meredith. He must find her, res
| cue her. and-thank God there was
time enough to accomplish this.
when did you first learn that Co
mez was hiding out in this neighbor-
hood, Garrity?" he questioned sud-
denly.
"Six months ago. l saw him In No

"Privately?"
'Yes; we had some deals together
