The screaming had suddenly be-
come a chorus. Horses were plung-
ing. Animal bodies were striking
each other. A man shouted, then
another.
"HOAH! LOS CABALLOS"
Luis Escobar yelled, running from
his headquarters tent. "QUIEN
ELS? HO! PRONTO"
In scarcely 80 seconds the
screaming had become a frenzy.
shot could hear people running
everywhere, men calling, shouting,
yelling orders and counter orders.
A roaring of hoofs added to the
cresceudo now. Noise of SCATTERING
planks were heard-something had
struck the light fence erected
there. Somebody yelled that tent
was down. Two men were Shrek
ing in pain.
| Quite unconsciously Shot Rogers
had started running with all the
other mer toward the remuda. In
moment he found himself out of

But all at once Shot halted.
my god-oh, my lordyw he
murmured. His chance had come!
He turned about and started
running in the opposite direction.
Almost Immediately a mass Of
trenzied horses cut across his trail.
Shot goaned in futility-if he could
hit catch one, if he could only
have his hands on a lariat rope!
Where is the bugler?" Luis Es-
cobar was roaring in Spanish. Call
out the men. Blow assembly. AS
sembly, you fool! Where are you?
-. Spread out everybody and try
to get them turning! Turning in a
circle! Stop that shooting"
Shot could hear Escobar's voice
above the wild melee.
More horses were plunging from
his right now, so Shot leaped on a
convenient rock, then up to an
other some eight or ten feet high
for pure self protection. Even in
the darkness he could see four or
five men who were less fortunate.
They were knocked down, tram

gled by the stampeding hoofs. The
more the animals plunged and
reared and screamed, the more
frightened they became. It was a
terrifying scene, and Shot could
see the whole maddening force
of it.
Horses seemed to be running in
every direction at once. A group
of them plunged right into the long

the international line into Mexico.
'"The COMPOUNDED border ought to
be marked, or fenced. And pa
trolled." He growled it half aloud
as his horse climbed.
He had to lead his mount around
the rocky rapids. For more than an
hour he alternately rode and
walked, boosting the horse up
sharp inclines with long switch.
Fury was still latent with him,
and it did him good just to be ex-
erting himself. He kept constant
lookout for signs, but saw nothing
encouraging, no hint of another
horse or of 2 human being, nothing,
in fact, but some wild game.
Then without any warning what
soever, he saw Lorena in tie dis
tance-coming toward him and
waving!
my god-Lorena" he spoke
aloud, even though too far away
for her to hear.
When he came to her and leaped
down, she was sobbing. Instantly
he took her in his arms, Holding her
close, patting her and comforting
her as best he could. He saw no
evidence of injury, and he was too
moved by emotion to talk 1T first.
"What-whatever happened, dar-
ling?" he whispered excitedly then.
where is Shot ?" she sobbed,
moving out of his arms. "J-Jerry!
Is Shot-is-h-have Oh found
| him ?"
Darling, I'm so happy to find
you I can think of nothing else.
I'm taking you home at once"
He stopped to lift her, but she
resisted. "Where is he? Where is,
Shot ?"
Forget him, sweetheart. It's you

to her.
And Lorena misintefpreted him.
She thought he was trying to
soften tragic news. She had been
walking for long hours in a frenzy,
of worry and fear, lost in the
rugged mountains; she felt that
Jerry was doubtless one of a posse
that had been combing the hills all
night.
"Tell me, Jerry! Isis Shot
dead" She grasped both his arms
and shook him Historically.
poor little kid! Poor little kid!
I'm terribly sorry, Lorena, but
Escobar's thieves have killed men
before this. Rogers knew what to
expect. What I can't understand IS
why he brought you out here with
him."

going in to the county seat and
round up a posse on my own
That was eight o'clock at night,
and it took George Brace another
half hour to convince Jerry that
nothing could be accomplished at
night. If they knew positively that
Shot and Lorena were in trouble or
even in danger, then the ranch folk
would be justified in launching
emergency efforts. But just to hunt
blindly at night. over a range as
vast and rugged and wild as the
Phantom, was veritable folly.
you'd have no idea where to go,
where to start" George explained.
"Would you try east or west, north
or south It's likely they'll show up
in the morning by themselves"
"But in the name of common
sense, Mr.. Brazee" Terry ex-
claimed at last. wouldn't Lorena
herself, or even Rogers, know that
we'd be worrying about them? If
they -uh-eloped, as old Jas
suggested, or just gone off to Tue
son or somewhere, wouldn't they
have notified us by now?"

there's no telephone out here, and
youth forgets, son. You would
yourself. But the main thing is, it
just don't make sense that she went
off into the hills with him."
"1'm riding out at dawn" Jerry
declared. "I'll go to the forks of
the Ghost river-it's where most of
the cows have been stolen-all of
them, come to think of it. They
never have stolen any from the east
range, have they?"
mo. No, the stock has all been
slipped out by way of the stream,
and nobody has found out how
yet"
"That's where Rogers fell down.
When find Lorena, you let me
take charge of that"
Jerry did not wait until dawn to
ride out alone.
He aroused the men who had rid
den with Rogers, and who were
sullenly refusing to ride under
Jerrys command, and told them
what he planned to do. They prom
ised to follow if Shot hadn't re-
turned by breakfast time.
BY breakfast time Jerry was
four miles from the ranch home
and in a little while he was wading
up the middle branch of the Ghost
He realized he was taking consid-
cradle risk riding out alone like
this, especially when he moved
southwark and doubtless crossed
