revealed how France came within an
ace of losing the plans and models
long before the war. When the first
models had been constructed, they
were carefully sealed in freight car
and shipped to an isolated section OF
the country for a tryout. The car
was by mistake hooked up to goods

CHAPTER XII
The River Bridge.

1t was two hours yet to opening
time. He unlocked the front door of
the hall, crossed the room to his
office, unlocked the door, entered,
locked 1t behind him. sat down at his
desk, unlocked 1t, and pulled open a
drawer in which he kept his stock of
ammunition. Besides the boxes of
cartridges and cleaning implements
there were in 1t two cartridge belts
and two Colts revolvers. There was
still daylight enough for his purpose,
and Selwood, taking first his own
gun and in turn the two guns in the
drawer, began the task of taking
down. cleaning and assembling the
three.
1t gave him plenty of time to think.
Warning had cOme-his defiance had
answered it-at least, for John Sell
wood. He had been told what to ex-
pect; he had said how he should meet
it; there remained only the question
of how far twelve cartridges loaded
into two guns expressly for this oc-
casion would carry him after the
opening shot.
1t was too much to hope that he
should live to fire them all, and he
fell to specializing on how many
loaded cartridges would be found In
the two guns when they picked him
up. 1t enraged him to think of being
cornered by Vigilantes; and escape
now was so easy-and always there
was Christie in the background of
his thinking. But his word had been
passed-whether foolishly or not, was
beside the question. He had told the
"real estate boomers" where they
would find him.
In the street he heard a beating of
hoofs and chorus of whooping yells
from horsemen heading downtown
on q drunken spree. Carpy's words
came back to him: "It's Saturday
night. All the Calabasas horse-thieves
ride into town for a spree. They'll
all getAin. But they won't many get
out"
He did not know the men-he only
knew that in their company q skele-

It hung by the scabbard an old Colts
army revolver. Tracy took It almost
affectionately. .Leave this with me-"
he said, falling back on his frowsy
pillow. "Bring me couple dozen
a'tridges--that'll be all l need"
Selwood smiled. "More'n you'll
need, Dave" he said quite undis-
turbed.
Selwood continued to smile; not
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., rather. He just
studied the mumbllng old gladiator
half toothless, laid low after many a
stout fight-stiffened in Joint, frayed
in nerve, caressing the old gun with
a shaking hand, so enfeebled he
could with difficulty hold up his head.
and with only the gray eyes flashing
the old fire as he hurled defiance at
his enemies-it was not q cheerful
picture! No home to die in; no
woman to be tender with his pain or
patient with his Feasibility; no
child's kiss to close the weary day
just human derelict, cast by the
storm and wave of civilization on Its
outermost shore-such was Dave
Tracy.
:. "What you looking at me that way
for, John?" demanded the old gam
bier peevishly.
Nothing, Dave, nothing = just
thinking. Til be back again." He
rose as he spoke Pardaloe peered-
as If in farewell-at Tracy and
pushed his way outside. "See here"
exclaimed Tracy, OBTAINING Selwood.
"You m mes been partners, amt
we? You say you're stayin'. You talk
about my getting killed-how d'y'
suppose I'd feel if you got killed."
Selwood laughed lightly. Its
what's comm to both of us, I guess
Dave"
"Carry me up the hill to the hall,
you and Pardaloe; Til stay and you
go. I'd blamed sight better be de-
Tending the hall than you. I'm no loss
to anybody on earth"
"Neither am /, Dave"
"What about the girl that brings
me soup two and three times week
What's she bringing 1t to me fer?
What did she, bring me an apple for
today? Because she thinks lot of me
or your
Selwood WINGED. Because she's
kind-hearted," he said irritably.
Don't talk nonsense" But he was
red in the face.
Tracy followed up sharply. "It's
you, Selwood-not me-you. don't
have to be told what a girls think
ing when she'll set right there where
you're settin' now, and listen as long
as I'll talk about you."
Selwood shrugged his shoulders.
you're wasting your breath to talk
about me-" He flung out of the tent
in no very pleasant frame Of mind.
The valley, the river, and the flats
were In shadow when Selwood
stepped outside. Turning up street.
his eyes fell on the hill, where the
front windows Of the big gambling
house burned in the glow of the sun
set. Busy with his thoughts, he
reached the barn, spoke to Scott, who
stood in the doorway, directed him
to bring Pardaloe with him as soon
as it was dark, and, making sure
that all ordered was in readiness,
Selwood walked on up the hill.

"Give me couple of good men," he
added, nod1ing significantly toward
Pardaloe and Scott, "and I'll hold this

Adding only few details to his in
functions, Selwood, returning to his
room, picked up a shot-bag full OF
loose cartridges, and leaving the
place that embraced all his earthly
possessions walked rapidly down to
the barn, followed by Pardaloe and
Scott. AS the street door was opened
by Selwood, McAlpin rose from the
fringe Of darkness.
Things are fixed" the barn boss
half whispered, as the three men en-
tered the Office. 1.-TWO men are watch

over at the warehouse, all heeled, and
more a-comin'. If they get us, John.
they'll know we're here!'
The waiting team, freshly fed and
watered, was hitched to the light
wagon. Beside the wagon was an
extra saddle-horse for Pardaloe; Sell
wood had mounted up. "John," whis-
pered the barn boss, clasping Sell
woods knee as he stood beside his
horse, what's the place to find you,
If I need your
Selwood hesitated. "We're trying
for the south trail up the river, but
1 doubt we'll ever make It, Well
either be up at the beaver dam, or.
more likely, at Calabasas. If you
come after me, try Calabasas first"
I At signal from Scott, who took the
reins, McAlpin threw open the doors,
and Scott, with Pardaloe at his side,
carrying his redoubtable shotgun,
and Selwood on horseback, clattered
out of the barn.
Selwood, with a lantern, entered
Tracy's tent. The old soldier had
drunk his coffee. He lay heavily
asleep. Pardaloe, waiting, peered
inside. Selwood motioned to him. The
wagon was backed close up to the
door, and Selwood gathered up
Tracy's belongings. Then, at nod,
Pardaloe picked Tracy, bedclothes
and all, up in his arms and, with
Selwood holding back the fly, carried
him out and lifted him into the
wagon.
The cot was dashed inside the
wagon; the tent was struck and
slowed beside 1t. In less than ten
minutes the little calvacade was head
ed as quietly as the FESTIVE horses
would let them for the bridge, Par
daloe, his shotgun between his knees,
staring into the darkness. Selwood
pushed ahead on his horse to try the
passage.
He reached the bridge only to be
halted by two men, who stepped out
of the dark on either side, covering
him with shotguns.
Selwood halted his horse. "What
is it, boys?"
"Can't cross this bridge"
"Why not?"
Nobody can cross the bridges to-
night without bridge pass"
"Well, we've got passes-good on
all bridges, trails, and boulevards-
but they're not the kind Of passes we
like to use on decent men. We're
crossing this bridge tonight, boys, but
we're willing to play fair. How many
of you are there?" asked Selwood
unruffled.
"Plenty to hold this bridge"
"There are just two of you--if
there were any more they'd all be
poking their guns under a peaceable
mans nose. Listen! There are four
