he rode out Of the building.

remained. He was reluctant to
leave his friend and he argued the
point, but O'Hara brushed aside his
objections.

'Ill leave my horse here. You two
may be in a hurry when you start.
He'll carry double till you reach

and rage. O'Hara recognized him
as Deever.
Already O'Hara had given orders
to his companion but he reinforced
them by a reminder. Remember
Texas, you're not to hit any of them
unless we can't drive them back
otherwise.
The firing from the stable took
the Ingram men by surprise. They
wavered, broke back for the house.
IF we can give our boys fifteen
minutes start they ought TO make
it," O'Hara said.
Cant do it," the Texan an
swered. Just about now it's gonna
strike those fellows to slap saddles
on their horses an swing round to
cut the boys off from the mouth of
the park
Texas Jim anticipated their
thoughts by less than five minutes.
Presently they could see Deever
and the others slipping up from the
creek to the hitch rack by the
house.
Time to say 'Adios' if we don't
aim to be cut Off" the cowboy said.
Right you are" agreed O'Hara.
A momenT later ne was on Smith

behind him. They dashed into the
open at gallop. A bullet whistled
past them.
Cut for the creek an get acroSt

O'Hara swung to the left and sent
the horse plunging into the young
willows. They crashed through, the
supple branches whipping their
faces. The animal lost it's footing

O'Hara used ii for a step to swing

the horse was charging through
the saplings fringing the opposite
bank.
CHANGING back, O'Hara could hear
the excited voices of the pursuers.
They were too far away for him to
make out the words, hut he real
lied that they were already in mo-

Some one shouted to them.
OHara caught sight of young
Quantrell riding down the creek.
Game back to chew over old

Where are the Others?" asked
O'Hara.
They're humpin' right along.
We can hold these rOOsters back if
we have to. If they get on the prod

Bob. What we're trying to do is to
