he'd changed with three years,

She looked fearingly at the
man on the bunk. "He is dying
now. He looks like"

die! Not now. I've been looking
for that man for three years.
I've sworn I'd kill him if never

"Why don't you kill him now"

easy! He's half dead anyhow. If
you're so fond of killing, what

ELEVENTH INSTALLMENT
SynOpSiS


Barry Haveril goes hunting for
a cousin of his, Jesse Conroy,
known as the Laredo Kid, who
killed his brother, Robert. Bar
ny is befriended by Judge Blue
and his daughter, Lucy. The
Judge turns out to be a friend
Of Laredo's and a bad actor. Bar
ry escapes, however, and meets
an old man named Timberline,
who also is cunning for the La
redo Kid. After several years
OF searching, Barry returns to
Judge Blues house, where he
meets a man called Tom Haveril
whom he accuses Of being his
cousin, Jesse, in disguise. Barry
becomes convinced Of this later
and they have a gun battle, both
getting hurt. Recovered, Barry
discovers Tom Haveril has mar
ried Lucy whom he loves. Barry,
the night they are married, kid
maps Lucy, and tells her he loves
her. Judge Blue is not her father,
he tells her, and Tom Haveril is
the Laredo Kid. On the way to
Barry's hideout, Laredos men
capture Barry. Lucy plays up to
Lerado's foreman, Jake GoOdby.
Lucy said quickly, "What do
you suppose it is that they have
hidden out here, Sarboe and Bar
ny Haveril, that Tom is so anx-
ious to get?"
81 don't know that part of it,
said Jake. well shucks, it don't
make no difference to us, does it,
Lucy?"
I'D like to know. Wouldn't you
like to know, Jake? Before Tom
gets here?"
Jake laughed. "You little devil
you, Lucy!"
81 think I can find out some
thing, Jake! already have ar
inking. But we'll have to hurry
Let's see. You call your cowboy
back over here where he can't
hear. Let me have five minutes
I'll bet you, Jake Goodby, that
can find out!"
"But you look a-here," he be-
gan.
"Oh, they can't hurt me!'
cried Lucy, jumping up. She
laughed and clapped her hands
down on the butt of Barry's gun.
They're tied up, and look at me

and went out.
When he came back Sarboe
came with him, and both men
were carrying arnfuls of pine
tips for her comfort.
Sarboe's eyes flashed from the
gaunt, palsied form on the bunk
to Barry, demanding explana-
tons.
Barry's answer was a mere: II
don't know. I found him like
that. He's had a bullet through
him."

mans booted feet. Some fellow
asleep, just as he had thought
likely
He threw the door wide open
The man on the bunk did not stir
Barry stepped into the room
! making sure with a quick glance
about him that there were no 9TH
er men concealed in the shadows
Then he called out:
"You there! Who are your"
Barry saw small ragged pile
of wood by the fireplace and
threw some scraps of pitchy pine
on the Goals. Then at last the man
on the bunk did stir.
The pine flared up into higher,
brighter flames; the cadaverous
face of the man on the bunk
seemed to start forward out of
the dark into the light. Barry
Haveril, spellbound, slack-jawed
in amazement, stood staring back
into those staring eyes.
The man, looking ready to drop
dead, laughed instead. Then he
said thickly, speaking with diff
ficulty; $50 it's Cousin Barry,
huh? Make yuhse'f tub home,
Sundown!" and Topped over on
his back again, one lax hand
hanging to the floor.
+, Yes, it was Cousin Jesse.
1t was Jesse Conroy.
It was the Laredo Kid.
And it was not Tom Haveril.
To Lucy, beginning to shiver
with cold as the night wind stiff
fened and as an utter WEAKNESS
bore her down it seemed that
Barry Haveril was never coming
back.
Then at long last Barry stepped
out of the shadows.
"There's water right over there
Sarboe," he said. "Give the hors-
es "a drink, then unsaddle and
put them on their tie ropes the
other side the water hole. Then
come along to the cabin"
When he spoke his voice was
gentler than when he had stalked
away from her.
"Tired out, Lucy? Well, it's
been hell for you, hasn't it? Want
to walk a hundred yards to shell
ter and sleep?"
81 want to lie here and die, y
said Lucy miserably. Il hate
everything; I hate living. Leave
me alone"
So he gathered her up into his
arms. She struck at him but he
did not seem to notice, and GER
tainly did not mind.
When he saw the bunk and the
man on it, a whitefaced, dead
looking man, all the peacefulness
of Barry's grading arms and OF
this quiet, simple place were
wiped out by fresh stark reality.
"That's why I had to keep you
waiting" said Barry. II thought
for a while he was dying. had
to find where he was hurt and
bandage him up. I'm not going
to let him die"
Lucy looked at Barry, no lon
ger heavy-eyed but with excited
interest. He said, talking dis
tinctly and slowly and somehow
altogether like a man at the end
of his tether.
"He is Jesse Conroy. The La
redo Kid. And he isn't Tom Ha-
veril-and I've been a fool"
"You shot him."
II wish I had," he muttered
somberly. mo. found him like
that"

Tie COWBOY.
Barry called to Sarboe: "Come
along here, Sarboe. And bring
Mrs. Tom Haveril with YOU"
So Sarboe came and Lucy with
him, one of her wrists clenched
tight in his hand, her face white,
her eyes looking enormous and
brilliant in the freight.
"Is he dead?" she whispered,
looking down on Jake Goodby.
IF he is, he asked for it," snap
ped Barry. I'm going for the
horses" he said and hurried off,
merely adding over his shoulder,
Watch both of 'em Sarboe; and
don't turn that girl loose"
Barry returned hurriedly with
the horses, his and Sarboe's and
the one that Lucy had ridden
here, the Judges. Also he brought
something else, but they did not
see it, the flat steel box which
he had unearthed from its hid
ing place and tied to his saddle
strings.
"You are not going to take me
with you'll" cried Lucy as soon as
she saw her horse, and began
struggling with Sarboe. Barry
Haveril, you have no right"
81 don't know what to do with
you," he said heavily, staring at
her.
"Then let me go! Oh, please,
Barry!"
They rode for hours, so long
and up and down such trailless
slopes that Lucy was dropping
YEARLY in the saddle long before
Barry called a halt. And when
at last they stopped and she slid
down stiffly she had not the vag-
uest idea of her whereabouts
Barry had brought them to his
old, first cabin, or rather into the
| grove just behind it.
Barry" said Lucy family"
"Well?" he demanded coldly
staring up at her.
"I had planned You see,
couldn't guess YOU had gotten the
| ropes off"
'Sarboe's work. They'd had
him tied an hour; he worked free,
got me free"
"Would you believe me-" asked
Lucy, and braced herself and un-
consciously hardened her voice,
eff I told you that I was coming
tc try to get you free?"
, mo-" he said promptly. MAY
be I've just got to knowing you
tonight Lady Laredo! I saw you
on that log with Jake Goodby-"
! Suddenly, without finishing
what he was going to say, he
moved off through the grove, lost
! to them before he had taken a
dozen of his long strides. He saw
the cabin looking dark among
the trees, its rear wall almost in
distinguishable in the shadows.
Under the closed door he saw
thin thread of wan light
He stepped softly to the door
and lifted the latch slowly Then
he began showing the door open.
Opened an inch it gave him a
glimpse of the cabins interior.
He could see the foot of the
bunk aaginst the wall; he opened
the door another inch and saw a

"Hey there, Bunce!" called
Jake. Come here.
Bunce grunted and got up.
Squat, Bunce. Well chin. Miss
Lucy's steppin' over to ride herd
on them two hombres a minute
or two"
Barry watched her wondering
ly.
She came on until she stood
over him, looking down into his
upturned face. At first she must
say something for Jake Goodby
to hear. His suspicious might
wake at any moment.
She found it easiest of all tc
laugh.
$50 it's funny, is it,? said Bar,
ry savagely.
"You were Sc stupid" cried out
the girl, still laughing. Then she
grew suddenly still, then said in
a queer stiff sort of voice, "Ton
Haveril will be here soon, Mr.
Brary Haveril-or is Laredo the
name? And when he comes"
when he comes?" said Barry
! AMI pulled his legs up under him
as though to ease cramped mus
cles.
Lucy stepped a little closer
She was just shaping her lips tt
whisper hurriedly: Barry, Tn
! trying to help you!" But she did
Mt whisper a syllable. There wa:
no time Haveril came up stand
ing like a snake coming out Of (
coil. The two strong hands she
thought so securely tied behinc
him flashed out and caught hel
up, swing her clear from the
ground. At single bound he was
around behind the big rock, anc
she was huddled at his feet, anc
his gun was again in his hand.
At the same instant she saw
Sarboe surge sideways anc
launch himself along the ground
on hands and knees, so that now
he and Barry Haveril and herself
were all behind the boulder. Anc
Barry, armed again, was roaring
! like an angry bull.
Jake Goodby! You, Bunce
Up with 'em or I'll kill the two
of ycu!"
They were no less '?stoundeo
than Lucy, the thing had hap
pened so all without warning
The two men got slowly to their
feet and put their arms straight
up.
"Step this way, you two" he
commanded sharply. "And better
not try any funny business"
Bunce started forward, then
stopped to glance sideways al
Goodman. Jake, had not moved.
Bunce started again; this time
Goodby came fumbingly along
Barry, watching him narrowly
saw him stumble slightly. Almost
too swiftly for the eye to follow
his movement the next minute
he sprang nimbly to one side
snapped out his gun, and stated
shooting over Bunce's shoulder.
Bunce yelled out in rage anc
terror, then jerked out his CUR
and started blazing away at al
that he could see of the man be
hind the boulder. But poor Bunct
never had a chance; Barry's frs
answering shot broke a leg TO:
him and he fell lurchingly. Jak'
fired again, but his aim was dis
turbed and his shot went wild
He was letting the third sho
off when he, like Bunce, wen
down, shot through the body.

lay still again. Barry came for
