"Why not, senior? Everyone

ing that he declare himself
either friend or foe.
He stared at her, seeing sud.
denly a vision of himself at the
head of a host of men, their faces
drawn with hard riding, the long
blades in their hands red with
blood, a scourge and a flame
sweeping out the filth of black
corruption.
And then his mind cleared and
he took a deep breath to help
pull himself together. He was no
knlght-errant, reScuing lost prin.
ceSSes; he was no Galahad riding
down the highways of the earth
to protect the weak and defend
the helpless.
1t was none of his AFFAIR."
He smiled and shook his head.

I'd Just take them all out and
get them killed-even suppoSinp
that they'd be fools enough to
let me lead them. You'll have to

The nlomentary eagernesS that
had possessed her died out of her
face, so that it seemed strangely
empty and forlorn. But in a mo-
ment the sorrow was gone and
she was smiling mockinglY at
hlm-almoSt, he thought with
sudden resentment, the way she
had smiled at the loungers in
front of Tobin's store.
"Of course, senior. was only
joking. There is no reason YOU
should fight for US. This is all
something that happened long
ago and many miles away"
They We're almost squarely In
front of Dex's cabin and she
pulled her horse to stop so that
he was forced to stop beside her.
She held out her hand, the half
hooking smile still lingering at
the corners OF her lips.
You are home, senior" she said
lightly. Il win not trouble you
to ride farther with me-"
She lifted her hand in a light
salute, whirled her horse in a
furry of dust, and was gone IN
a roar of galloping hoofs.
