time served as nurse in the homes

The shooting occurred few
minutes after Miss Cowan and the

minutes.
The detective said a nurse told
him she was unable to reach Miss
Cowan in time to prevent the
tragedy.
One shot missed. Two others
lodged in the invalid's chest.
When hospital attendants arrived
Miss Cowan was kneeling beside
the dying woman and placing a

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

WHEN THE light of dawn came
George Brazee, Shot Rogers anC
olI Jasper rode again to Crown
ALLEY and young Midnight and g
Mexican boy followed in a wagon
on which was spread some soft hay
The rain had stopped; as If routed
bv the Thursday sun, clouds had
oaroped off in retreat as spectacu-
!arly as that of the raiding cattle
thieves.
.Whaffor you all wants a hay
wagon. Mistur George, sub ?" Mid
night had asked.
Normally Mr.. BraZee would have
teased him genially. Now he was
somber and factual. "Son, I think
there are some bodies out there to
he brought in. I hope not, but
think so. You don't need to go un-
less you want to-"
Midnight weighed that heavily.
And in the end curiosity triumphed
over fear.
Mr.. Braces hunch-backed by
Shot Rogers description Of his per-
sonal encounters-had been right.
One Mexican was found sprawled
fantastically-and horribly-in the
mud, stiff in death where the hoofs
of innumerable cattle had mutilat-
ed the corpse. A second was found
huddled against a rock muttering
insanely; he thought the Americans
were more cows, and he had to be
handled with force. He died before
the day was over.
Any others who were hurt or
killed apparently had been carried
away by the raiding band, but the
wide valley where the fight had oc-
Cured was dotted with the bodies
Of Is steers. Thus the monetary
loss alone was somewhere in ex-
cess of $1,000. Shot, George Brazee
and Jasper stood together there
after counting the dead animals,
surveying the situation. Old Jasper
was chewing slowly, but with re-
markable jaw movements on a
wad of tobacco, and glaring out at
the mountain gap through which
the raiders had escaped.
II would go git me a army" he
declared. "an( chase 'en plumb to
hell and back" He punctuated his
opinion with a spectacular If iU-
delicate expectoration, a sort of
blowing eruption which couldn't
be taken seriously even with death
at hand. Shot Rogers grinned.
Last night in that rain we need
ed navy, not an army. Uncle Jas"
the young man said.
NO." said George Brazee, sober
ly "You got an army out in the
hills, Shot. Just bad luck they
weren't here. Still, if you hadn't
been out, we'd never have had any
warning. Thanks to you, son."
