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 cheerful
picturel 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 a 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
bier peevishly.
Nothing, Dave, nothing = just
thinking. I'll 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 N mes been partners, amt
we? You say you're stayin'. You talk
about My getting killed-how dy'
suppose I'd feel If you got killed."
81 Selwood laughed lightly. "It's
what's comm to both of us, guess
Dave
Garry me up the hill to the hall,
you and Pardaloe; I'll stay and you
go. I'd a blamed sight better be de-
Tending the hall than you. I'm no loss
to anybody on earth"
Neither am I, Dave"
"What about the girl that brings
me soup two and three times a week?
What's she bringing it to me fer?
What did she bring me an apple for
today? Because she thinks a 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. 1 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.

Puts An End to
Bunion Pains
No Need to Suffer Another Day
Those Agonizing Tortur-
ing Pains.

There is one simple yet inexpen-
sive way to reduce inf1amed, swollen
toe joints and get them down to nor
NAL and that is to apply Moone's EN-
erald Oil night and morning.
Ask your druggist or any first class
druggist for an original two-ounce
bottle of Moone's Emerald Oil (full
strength) and refuse to accept any
thing in its place. 1t is such highly
concentrated preparation that two
ounces lasts a long time and further
more if this wonderful discovery
does not give you complete salts
faction you can have your money
refunded.
Special note: People who want to
reduce swollen or varicose veins
should get a bottle of Emerald Oil
at once. Applied night and morning
as directed they will quickly notice
an improvement which will continue
until the veins and punches are re-
duced to normal.

Haynes. I expect to be back before
anything much happens. But if you
have to run, get good start-you're

Haynes, lingering a gun as big as
a toy cannon, looked hurt. ''Who'm I
going to run from, John? You're put

get back?" he asked, to confirm his
understanding.

Haynes Strengthened up. "I1l hold

"Give me couple of good men," he
added, nod ding significantly toward
Pardaloe and Scott, land I'll hold this
place against all the Vigilantes in
Sleepy Cat!"
II need a couple of good men, N.Y.

send up Bull Pager
Adding only few details to his in
functions, Selwood, returning to his
room, picked up 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
ing the back door; they've got cou-

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-

CHAPTER XI
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 it behind him, sat down at his
desk, unlocked it, and pulled open a
drawer in which he kept his stock of
ammunition. Besides the boxes of
cartridges and cleaning implements
there were in it 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 a chorus of whooping yells
from horsemen heading downtown
on a drunken spree Carpy's words
came back to him: Its Saturday
night. All the Calabasas horse-thieyes
ride into town for spree. They'll
all get in. But they won't many get
OUT
He did not know the men-he only
knew that in their company a skele-
ton horseman, astride a skeleton
steed, galloped noiselessly ahead;
that Death that night would stink, an
invisible guest, in with these men as
they lined up at the bar; unbidden.
would sit that night with them ut
their tables and stake their evil
lives against the caprice of frontier
fate-as, indeed, he had already, for
that night, staked John Selwoods.
He picked up, last of his job, the
cartridge belt. 1t was too dark to
see, but 1t was easy to feel with the
fingers of one hand for the cartridges
in the box, while in the other he held
the belt and felt for the empty spaces
to slip the brass slugs into place. And
with the thrift of Robinson Crusoe, he
emptied a handful of cartridges into
his trousers pocket, rose, buckled the
belt about his waist. AS he did this,
he heard a loud knock at the outer
door, IL startled him; then he remem-
bered that he had told Scott to bring
Pardaloe to him as soon as 1t was
dark.
He walked to the front door; the
two men were there. Bob Scott barred
his tobacco-stained teeth as he smiled
his report to Selwood They've put
men on all the roads out Of town ex-
cept the upper river road. guess

the idea is to stop all the birds that
figured no one from Calabasas would
be leaving town till pretty late, any
way" Selwood asked whether the
team and horses We're ready. Pardaloe
had come straight from the barn. His
eyes, set rather harder than usual
with the prospects of the night, ap-
peared closer, If possible, together,
and glowed with a deeper light /;
while If suspicion could more COM
pletely characterize his manner, 1t
seemed now heightened, In view OF
coming events. They're hitched,
John" he said darkly, "chewin' their
bits in two and tearin' up the planks
right now in the gangway."

wood. addressing both men, "Tm

town. He's my partner; I'll never
see him hurt while I'm alive. He re-
fused to go, as you know, Bill" he
said to Pardaloe, "and he's bull
headed enough to put up a scuffle
rather than be dragged out No mat
ter. Carpy put a sleepy dose in
Tracy's coffee tonight BY this time
he should be under; 1 hope he Is.
But he's got to go now, whether he
drank the coffee or not. won't see
him strung up on telegraph pole,
If 1 have to kill him to get him out
of town."
'How you going to get across the
bridge?" asked Pardaloe grimly.
"Pll attend to that. You say the
river road isn't guarded, anyway"

Why Moriarty Fired
Giant Rookie Hurler

George Moriarty's summary
dismissal of a giant recruit
pitcher from the Detroit squad
the other day because of an in
fraction of a training rule,
smacked a bit of the horrible
example"-to establish definitely,
permanently and convincingly
who is the boss. The feasibility
of such punitive measures on the
part of Mr.. Moriarty was being
defended at an impromptu dis
cussion by the peanut vendors of
st. Louis when Pat Monahan,
the well-known outfitter, who
scouts for the Red Sox, horned
In.
"Say, did you ever see that
guy who Moriarty fred" said
Pat with his usual modesty.
"No? Well, he stands about 6
feet and weighs about 225
pounds. Moriarty probably took
a good look at him and decided
there's one bird I can't lick
The rest was easy for George"
