Other Three Bar boys were watching
every man who showed a disposition
to detach himself from the groups In
the doors. The blare of the piano and
all sounds of revelry had hushed.
The girl felt the clutch of stark
fear at her heart. She had come too
late. Harris was to meet Slade. 1t
seemed that she must die with him
if he should pass out before she could
speak to him again and tell him she
was back. She had wild desire to
run to him, at least to lean from the
window and call out to him to mount
Calico and ride away. But she knew
he would not. She was frontier bred.
Even the knowledge that she was in
town might unsteady him now. She
sat without move and the driver
and guard outside supposed her mere
ly curious on-looker interested In
the scene.
"a hundred on Harris" the driver
offered.
The guard grunted a refusal.
"Td bet that way myself" he said.
From this she knew that the two
men were hoping Harris would b.
the one to survive; but the fact that
their proffered bets backed their SEN
timents was no proof that they felt
the conviction Of their desire. She
knew the. men of their breed. No
matter how small the chance, their
money would inevitably be laid on
the side of their wishes, never against
them, as If the wagering Of long
shot was proof of their confidence
and might in some way exercise ia.
vorable influence on the outcome. No
man had ever stood against Slade.
She noted Harris gun. He carried 1t
with the same awkward sling us of
old, on the left side in front with the
butt to the right.
Fifty on Slade," voice offered
from the doorway of the hotel. The
guard started for the spot but the
bet was snapped up by another. Wild
fighting rage swept through her at
the thought that to all these men 1t
was but sporting event.
Her eyes never once left Harris as
he came down the street. When al.
most abreast of the stage Slade
stepped from the doorway twenty feet
in before him and stopped In his
tracks. Harris turned on one heel and
stood with his left side quartering
toward Slude, the old pose she re.
membered SO we'll. There was tense
quiet the length of the street.
"Those you hire do poor work from
behind" Harris said. "Muybe you
sometimes take chance yourself and
work from In front" His thumb was
hooked in the opening of his shirt
|. Just above the butt of his gun.
Slade held cigarette In his right
hand and raised 1t slowly to his lips.

his gun. Ii flushed into his hand but
his knees sagged under him as
forty-fve slug struck him an inch
above the buckle Of his belt. Even
as he toppled forward lie fred and
Harris gun barked again. Then the
Three Bar men were vaulting to theiI
saddles. Evans careened down the
street, leading the paint-horse, and
within thirty seconds after SHADES
first move for his gun a dozen riders
were turning the corner on the run.
