somehow alone But that was inn
possible with MARY Then a plan
flashed into his mind.

unfastened his lariat Making a loop
around her body, and another around

They climbed into the plane and
started aloft.
Just as the sherifrs posse. with its
prisoner. was passing the gates Of the
Bar VI Ranch. there was buzzing
sound in the sky. Miguel, excited.
pointed upward and cried:
"Senor Marshall, look - the plane
Maybe she is in it. maybe Miss
Mary Ii saved"
New hope started in old Marshall's
breast He begged the sheriff for
permission to stop a few moments
II was granted. The procession
halted. and waited while the plane
swooped toward the ground. Miguel
rushed into the ranch TO meet It. At
the same moment Taggart came out
