In September there was killing In

official cOuntenance, and Jordan began
to worry about election.
One evening in early October little
body Of riders came to the Three Star,
all strangers to the county, men whose
faces were grim, who cracked no jokes,
whose greetings were barely more than
civil.
"Thls is the Three Star, amt it?"
asked the leader of a cowboy, who
nodded silently, taking in the appear
ance of the visitors.
"Bourke, Peters and Manning"
"One and ALL" answered the Three
Star rider. "Find 'em at chuck, /

Sandy personally backed the invita-
tlon a moment later and steaks were
being pan-fried as the men dismounted
and lounged on the porch, awaiting
their meal. The leader introduced him
self by the name Of Bill Brandon,
claiming previous knowledge, without
actual acquaintance, of Sandy, Nor
mon and Sam in Texas.
"We're out after man who's been

said Brandon after supper. "We know

Sandy Returns.

Eight days passed before Sandy
came riding back on Goldie, leading
the bay, reaching the Three Star at
the end of sunset. Mormon was in
his chair with the one letter that
Sandy had written, on his lap.
Sandy pulled in the mare beyond
the corral. He could hear the sound
Of Sans harmonica and pictured him
with the instrument cuddled up un-
der his great mustache.
ITS sure good to be home, Goldie,"
said Sandy. Then he let out a mighty,
"Hello, the house!"
Sans Tilt ceased abruptly. The rid
ers came hurrying. Sam appeared,
with Mormon waddling after, too
swiftly for his best ease or grace Of
motion, both grabbing at Sandy, swat
ting him on the back as he off-saddled.
"Lemme CO." said Sandy. I'm hun

His two partners watched Sandy eat,
plying him with food and then with
question after question about the trip,
about Barbara Redding and about
Molly's going to school.
"Molly's got an outfit Barbara Red

year. The rest of Moly's money is
banked. Barbara picked out a school

Out came the pedal, the gears engaged
and the car shot ahead, beneath a
swinging arc light. Sandy's hat-rim
did not sufficiently shade his face or
Molly's action had not been swift
enough. There came n yell and a
string of curses from the crippled car,
which backed and turned and fol-
lowed, its torn treads tapping.
Goodwin asked no questions Of
Sandy. If the latter wanted ever to
tell him why he required a quick exit
out of Caroca, or why he was fol-
lowed, he could. If not, never mind.
He slid his gears into high and lodged
around corners recklessly. A red Ian
tern showed ahead in the middle Of
the road. They crashed through
light obstruction Of boards and tres
ties, Overturning the lantern, and
plowed on over rough stones.
"I'm mayor" said Goodwin with
grin. "Breakin' my own rules but
figger that broken stonell bother 'em

They lunged through, regardless of
tires, and, behind them, the pursuing
car ratified, lurched, skidded. A tire
blew out and as Goodwin swung
corner with two wheels In the air the
sheriff's machine smashed viciously
across the sidewalk, poking its crump-
ling radiator into a cottonwood.
"Brazen bulls!" shouted Goodwin.
"There she blows! You got to run"
The depot was ahead. to one side

Changing bell slowing for the stop,

the trainman had dropped off. Now
the latter remounted while the train
restarted, gathered speed.
