full upon his bearded face and its
staring eyes.
In corner, at the foot OF a straw
pallet, ordinarily screened from the
rest of the cabin by couple of sus-
pended quilts, stood Mol Hawk, lean
ing against the wall. her dark sullen
eyes following the men as they moved
about the room. The quilts, ruthlessly
torn from their fastenings on the pole,
lay scattered and trampled on the floor,
sinister evidence of the struggle that
had taken place between woman and
beast. At the other end of the room
were two similar pallets, unscreened.
and beside one of these lay Jasper
Suggs' rnwhide boots.
From her place in the shadows Moll
Hawk watched the other woman stoop
over and gaze intently at the face Of
the slain man. She was a tall, we'll

Her long, straight hair, the color of the
ravens wing, swung loose about her
shoulders, an occasional strand trail
ing across her face, giving her a singu-
larly witchlike appearance. Her body
from the waist up was stripped almost
bare; there were several long streaks
Of blood across her breast, where the
fingers of cory hand had slid in re-
laxing their grip on her shoulder. With
one hand she clutched what was left Of
tattered garment, vainly seeking Ia
hide her naked breasts. The stout.
coarse dress had been almost torn
from her body.
Mrs. Gwyn left the hut. but soon re-
turned. After q few earnest words
with the sheriff, she came slowly over
to the girl. Moll shrank back against
the wall, a strange glitter leaping into
her sullen, lifeless eyes.

He never finished the sentence. A
whirlwind was upon him. Before he

him squarely between the eyes. He
went down as though struck by a
sledge-hammer. crashing to the ground
full six feet from where he stood. Be-
hind that clumsy blow was the weight
of thirteen-stone body. hurled as
from mighty catapult.
He never knew how long afterward
1t was that he heard voice speaking
to him. The words, jumbled and un-
Ineligible, seemed to come from a
great distance. He attempted to rise,
gave 1t up and fell back dizzily. His
vision was slow in clearing. What he
fmally saw, through blurred, uncertain
eyes, was the face of Kenneth Gwynne,
far above him-and 1t was a long time
before it stopped whirling and became
hxcl in one place. Then he realized
that 1t was the voice of Gwynne that
was speaking to him, and he made out
the words. Something warm and wet
crept along the sides Of his month, over
ms chin. down his neck. His throat
was full of bot nauseous fluid. He
raised himself on one elbow and spat.

body relaxed. The two men. watch
ing her with bated breath and vastly
different emotions, could almost WIS.,
ualIze the struggle that was going on
within her. At last the long rife bar
rel was lowered; as the muzzle
touched the ground she opened her
eyes. Slowly they went from Kenneth
to the man who crouched behind him.
She gazed at the bloody face as If see
ing 1t for the first time.
The woman in her revolted at the
spectacle. After a moment Of inde-
cisIon, she turned with shudder and
walked toward the house, dragging
the rifle by the stock. AS she was

to send swift glance over her shoui-
