The hesvy bullets streaked the dust
all the way across the valley. The
raiders spurred madly in pursuit,
loading and firing. They shot ten
times while Ladd shot once, and all
In vain; and on Ladd's sixth shot a
raider toppled backward. threw his
earbine and fell with his foot catching

dust. then heard the lead strike the
rocks and 60 whining away. And II was
hfter this that one of the raiders fell
prone from his saddle. The steel
Jacketed .4o5 had gone through him
on Its uninterrupted way to hum past
Gales position.
The remaining two raiders fran.

Dick turned away then and left the

Nell was really sleepy, and when she

Presently, as II magnet-drawn, he re-

knees and bent over her. He wanted
more than anything he had ever want

up that pretense OF sleep and let him
kiss her. She must have felt hin
breath, for her hair waved of her
brow. Her cheeks were now white.
Her breast swelled and sank. He
bent down closer-cioser. But he
must have been maddeningly slow, for
as he bent still closer Nell's eyes
opened. and he caught a swift purple
gaze OF eyes as she whirled her head.
