Straight thinking Americans must

at that game, if you insist on it. "
There was piston power behind
the Mountie's stiff blows and
Kinoceti was getting desperate
He was half blind, his wind,
broken by debauch, was almost
gone. He could not get his lungs
refilled because of O'Rourke's re-
lentless battering; pain shot
through his side like a knife
thrust.
If only he had not missed that
knife fling. If he could get the
gun out of its holster! He knew
he could never manage the latter

Rourke would be on him before

the head to leap for it and missed
O'Rourke, who had never forgot
ten the knife was there, hit him
so hard over the heart and in the
stomach that the blows sounded
like the beats of a drum. The
breed doubled up, chung in feeb-
lie clinch.

blade loose and stood by the door

dition, hard as vulcanized rubber
of body, with sinews of steel.
O'Rourke Strengthened him
with right and left, flung short
and hard from the hip as they
closed. The blows bloodied his
nose and swelled the Indians lip.
He leaped like a panther, cling
ing, gouging, trying for fouls, and
found O'Rourke tying him up,
battering his kidneys, flinging
him off.
This devil of Mountie knew

hands about the sergeant's legs,
fiegning weakness, though he was
really hurt from the smash, striv-
ing to trip O'Rourke, to throw
him.
O'Rourke had forgotten the
girl, had thought she had left the
room. But she stood with eyes

Kinoceti's dark face was blotch-
ed with bruises, his lips were a
blob and one eye was closing. But
he fought with the ferocity of a
bayed wild beast. Even if he got
out of this-unless he killed the
sergeant, got rid of the girl-he
figured he would be hunted man.
A breed who attempted assault
on white girl was an outlaw
whose shooting never would be
charged against the man who
did it.
The record of his crimes surg
ed above him like a wave. He
knew that even O'Rourke knew
his accredited record it would
not contain a tenth of them. And
Kinoceti did not trust the ges-
ture of the flung off tunic, the
laid-aside holster, the assurance
that the encounter was personal.
The sergeant was boring in and
the breeds wind was going. His
arms began to feel heavy, his
legs had lost their spring. He
made rush in a burst of fury,
head down, slogging at o.
Rourke's groin, trying to knee
him, and got the attack broken
by ripping uppercuts.

shining and parted lips, watching
the combat, with never a doubt
of the outcome. She was as saw
age, as primitive, for the time, as
were the twp slogging, hard
breathing men seeking to down
each other.
Kinocetis attack upon her had
been terrifying in its sudden, vic
ious onslaught, in her feeling of
helplessness as she tried to fight
him off. Now she wanted to see
him punished-and she was get
ting her wish.
They were we'll matched for a
while as they fought, painting,
sliding, leaping and side-stepping,
granting as blow got home with
a thud.
O'Rourke had a fair amount of
science, largely discounted by the
fact that all rules were off. Kino-
ceti would try to disable him by
teeth and claws if necessary. He
had already bitten the sergeant's
shoulder as his head rested there
in clinch. That had cost the
breed bad battering as O'Rourke
felt the smart when he tore his
flesh loose from Kinoceti's clamp
ing jaws. He was bleeding there
now, the stain coming slowly
through his shirt.
