Instead, he sent the mare swinging
over a four foot fence and then
crashing through tall shrubbery that
closed over man and horse like water
The sheriff's bullets cracked

a smaller and lighter note around
the ears of Montana.
But now he had to swerve the
mare onto back lane and sent her
scooting. There was going to be
plenty of trouble. He could hear the
voice Of 1t growl and howl through
Bentonville.
The lions had finished fighting and
now the spectators would take part In
| a non-hunt. Horses began to snort
/ and squeal under the spur as men
mounted and drove away in the pur-
suit. Men yelled orders in voices
that squeaked with excitement.
The Kid smiled little. His eyes
filled with reminiscent pleasure. From
his position the south trail was the
best trail. He went straight for It,
taking note how the mare carried
her head high, moving 1t in observa-
ton, keeping her ears pricked. She
was ron-hard. The run from the
ranch had not weighted her hoofs
with the least WEAKNESS.
The last house, the last barn
whirled away behind him. He was
heading toward the beginning o1
the south trail with the tumult Of
Bentonville drawing to q single head
behind him, when he saw a man on
a black horse riding furiously down
the northern slope to head him OF.
There was still time to turn to the
left down broken ravine, but though
he might avoid one enemy in this
manner, he would leave himself
trapped for that pouring crowd whose
horses were beating up q thunder
behind him. Besides, he was in nc
mood to turn for one man or for two
So he drew gun.
The mare flowed beneath him like
a current of a river; to shoot from
her back would be as easy as shooting
from the deck OF q ship. But then
he saw that the stranger had neither
drawn revolver nor unsheathed the
rifle whose holster slanted down under
the right leg of the rider.
1t was a brown-faced Mexican, ir
overalls, with a tattered rag Of hal
} fluttering on his head. He was dressed
like a peon, though he rode a horse
fit for King. Something in that
contrast, and in the thick solidity o.
|, the fellows shoulders, put knowledge
in the eyes Of the Kid.
"Rubriz!" he shouted.
He got wild yell and the wave
of an arm for answer. It was Rubri,
) himself who pulled onto the trai
beside him, checking the great blacl
, horse with a cruel Mexican bit tha

Far in the distance Montana saw
q figure that was huge even when
1t was far away-a long-robed friar
on a Jogging mule. The arms Of the
man topped like clipped wings; his
head was bare to that powerful sun
There was only q glimpse before
q turn Of the trail snatched the
figure from view.
The friar had, in fact, halted his
mule, which turned sidewise as the
rider stared behind him at the two
fugitives and that rising dust cloud
from under which the horses Of the
men from Bentonville were darting.
Save yourself, thick-skulll Help

shouted Rubriz. angrily.
The man was much too far away
to hear, but, as though he knew the
meaning Of Rubriz, he stared first
into the depth of the gorge that
fenced the trail on one side and then
looked helplessly up the steep slope
Of the hill, which was Uttered with
vast strewing Of boulders. big and
small.
Another bend of the trail shut out
the view of the friar, but when he
was seen again he had dismounted
from the mule, which was picking al
grass beside the trail. while the mas.
ter clambered actively over the rocky
junk-heap Of the slope, looking toe
big to be hum an, against the sky.

The voice was muffled. A man
could be heard to say, distinctly:
"Now, Name, don't you go bein' a
fool. The boys have gotta have their
fun, don't they?"
The hoofbeats from the rear must
have rounded a corner. They seemed
suddenly nearer. 1t seems to be a
signal for Jack Lascar. The man
seemed hungry for the battle as he
jerked out a gun.
The Kid made his draw in midStep.
He fired as his foot struck the
ground, Jack Lascar fired one bullet
into the air as he spun around. He
fell neither forward nor back. but In
heap, and the dust washed up
around him as though the earth was
anxious to claim its own at once.
With the fall of Jack Lascar there
came out of the watchers a deep
quick, animal sound. The lips of men
and women and children grinned
back suddenly as though there were
something In the sight that filled
them with a food of satisfaction, OF
Of horror.
The Kid went up to the body oi
Lascor and put his foot brutally or
the shoulder of the man, and pushed
him back so that he sprawled fact
up. Then Montana could see that 6
trickle Of blood was still running dowr
the side of Lascar's head-sure proot
that the fellow was not dead as
vet. Well, If that bullet had glanced
it meant that there would be more
trouble, great trouble, ahead of Mon
tana.
There was something more to b
considered Just now. That was tht
persistent beating Of hoofs down tht
street and now rounding the last
corner. So the Kid jumped Sally
looking back as he jammed his fee
into the stirrups. And he saw tht
sheriff come grandly around the mex
bend Of the street with his mustang
aslant, the dust spilling out sidewiSt
from the slashing roofs. and the wine
of the gallop furling back the brin
Of the shsriff's hat.
And as the sheriff saw the picture
before him, the dust still rising above
the place where Jack Lascar lay, the
man of the law shouted. His cry
was like the hoarse bark of a sea lion
as he went for his gun.
Montana did not try to get akay
down the street. Neither did he Can

Hendrix Be Here
For Tax Wronqle

State Superintendent of Public
instruction Hendrix will probably
arrive here August IS to take a
hand in the legal wrangle now in
volving the board Of supervisors, the
school trustees for district No. /
the county attorney and the coun-
ty superintendent of schools.
School district No. trustees have
secured an opinion from county at
torney E. r. Thurman to the effect
that all school monies collected in
back taxes in that district must go
to it's funds. This applies specificly
to the county levy for the general
school fund.
On the other hand Hendrix has
advised Mrs. Lula R. Larimore,
county school superintendent. that
back taxes must go into the gen.
eral school fund and has instructed
her to proceed accordingly.
It was learned from an authori-
tive source that the school board
may bring a test case up If the
back taxes are not turned over to
them.
Another problem which DR.. Hen
dirk may take hand in is that in
volving a special levy of approxiln-
ately $4,000 on district No. / in
order to pay off a deficit in that
district. The school board has re-
quested that it be omitted.
