Steamboat considered a few Sec
onds, and then she truly smiled,
a smile of hope.
Remember" Harry pointed out,
If this jasper is a U. S. marshal
we'll have to dodge till this blows
over. If they get you, it's just
plain tough"
Steamboat said slowly, huskily,
II don't mind that. POGO st.
Vrain has got me out of a dozen
jams, loaned me money, nursed
me when I was sick over in Silver
City, fought for me and crippled
men that didn't treat me right.
"T never claimed to deserve it,
Harry, but he's treated me white
all down the line. I'd do anything
to pay back some of it,"
Harry nodded and stood up. It'll
go buy saw. You write a note to
the marshal"
After some careful maneuver-
ing outside to avoid the blistering
fire that was lacing the street,
Harry ended up in a hardware
store where he bought a brace
and bit, saw, and a length of
rope.
A NOTE FOR VAN
Steamboat was waiting in her
room when he returned. She led
Harry across the hall to a vacant
room that looked out on the roofs
of the adjoining buildings to the
flat, tar-paper-covered roof of the
jail.
Harry opened the window and
let her down the eight feet to the
neighboring roof, then followed
her. Once the Jail roof was
| reached, they had to crawl on
their stomachs to the farthest of
two stove pipes which jutted up
through the roof.
Reaching it, Harry pulled of
the pipe, then took the bundle OF
tools and the note and motioned
for Steamboat to take over.
He whispered. You got to
make him believe it, kid. You go.

window. Poco's six-gun was out
ready, for he expected to see an
arm. gun in hand, appear through
the hole.
Instead, a strange bundle o1
tools, a paper wedged in the han
die Of a saw, was lowered by 9
rope. POGO was closest and hi

STEAMBOAT CARRIES ON
She said gravely, "All right. I'm
|urarmed. Come on"
Van climbed out.
Lie down." she whispered.
POGO appeared in the opening
and hoisted himself through. He
lay down by Steamboat and said,
Good girl, Steamboat. Thanks"
Van watched them a second,
then he said to Steamboat, "You
really like him?"
She only nodded.
Enough to get down there and
keep shooting as long as your am
munition holds out?"
Again she nodded, when POGO
cut in, "Huh-uh. No go, law-man."

to rawhide me into this, Mister"
POGO said quietly, "You send
her down there, Van, and I'll
stand up and give myself up. Take
your choice"
Van inched his gun over till 1t
covered POGO. You try it and
you'll live five seconds less than
you would if you reached the roof.

can take care of myself. POGO"
She told them that Harry would
pull the stage up beside the end
building of the block just as soon
as he, standing in the stable door,
saw their signal from the roof.
YOU FIRST, POGO
Then she turned to POGO and
smiled crookedly. You're a right
hombre. POGO. I'm paying back
my debts"
She leaned over and kissed him.
Then before he could stop her. she
crawled down through the hole.
Van said, Go ahead of me-"
Van ordered POGO to go ahead.
On the roof Of the end building,
Van crawled along the ridgepeak
to the false-front, took off his hat
and looked over.
There, below and across the
way, lounging in the wide door
of the stable, was Harry, smoking
a cigarette and talking with the
stable attendant. He turned and
vanished inside.
In another minute, the empty
stage thundered through the door
arch and swung out into the
street and crossed it, pulling even
with the end building, saddle

screamed on and Harry pulled the
stage in close to the building.

CHAPTER XxXIII
A WOMAN's SACRIFICE


POGO pulled the rope through
and crawled over to Van and
handed him the note, then took
a rifle and began a sparse fire.
Van read the note and motioned
POGO down.
"A trick" Van said. Read It,"
POGO read 1t quickly and looked
up.
That's no trick. know her. "
POGO indicated the ammunition
I'm the prisoner, law-man. But
if you ever want me to stand trial,
or live to see me, then you better
take it. We can't hold out long
at this rate"
She says they'll fire the place
soon. There's talk of it,"
And once we're driven into the
jail, We'll never saw through that
roof. It's double timed"
Van only stared at him and said
nothing. Then he looked at the
frugal heap of ammunition, which,
along with what was in their belts,
would have to last them till help
came. Two concerted ruShes,
which we're almost sure to come
when the town was fully awakened
and alert to the thrill of a man
hunt and had augmented the
numbers Of the posse, would use it
all up. He had seen enough of
mobs to fear them, and he knew
that his marshals badge would
count for less than nothing.
He said, you know her. you
say?"
"She's a good girl, friend to
me. That stage driver is a friend
of hers, or she couldn't offer us
this"
so much of a friend she'd turn
a bunch Of gunnies loose on me" D."
Listen" POGO said slowly. IF
you liked some one, would you
rather see them tried and jailed
or cut down by a mob?"
They'd find out" Van said.

place would you risk it?"
Van said suddenly. "WeIl 60
I think I'm a better man than
you are, son. I'll show you"
POGO, standing on the table
used the brace and bit to bore
four holes at the points of a
square, which he joined with a
sawed line. Twenty minutes work
and a square of the roof dropped
down into his hands. 1t left an
opening large enough to climb
through.
Van leveled his rifle at POGO
and said, "Shed the guns, son
If we're crowded you'll get 'em
back"
POGO obeyed.
"Now climb down off that
table. I'll go first"
Again POGO obeyed and Van
placed a chair on the table. Then
