Belding spoke a few words; and, remembering. an' fmpression he had wishpd ‘to' make upon Mr. Gale, he made them strong. “Better stop that boy,” he conclud- ed, looking “at Mr. Gale. ' “He’M' do some mischief. - He’s,wilder'n h—L." Just then Dick came out of his"door. “Richard, _where ‘are you golng:” asked his ‘father. % “I'm going to beat a dog.” Then Dick strode oft the porch. “Hold on!” Ladd’s voice avould have stopped almost any.man. “Dick, you wasn't agoin’ without me?’ “Yes, I was. "But I'm thoughtless Just now, Laddy,”" % “Shore you was. Wait a minute, Dick.” T'm a sick man, but at that no- body ‘can pull any stunts round here without ‘me.” He hobbled along the porch and ‘went into his room. Jim Lash knocked the ashes out of his pipe, and, hum- ming his dance tune, he followed Ladd. In a moment. the rangers ap- peared, and both were packing guns. “Where will we find these Chases?” asked Dick of Belding. “They’ve got a place down the road adjoining the inn. They call it thelr club. At this hour Radford will be there sure. I don’t know about the old man. But his office is now just across the way.” They passed several houses, turned a ‘corner into'the main street, and ! stopped at a wide, low adobe struc- ture. The place was a hall, and need- ed only. a bar to make it a saloon. A large table near a window was sur- rounded by a noisy, smoking, drinking circle of card-players. “Point out this Radford Chase to “There! The big fellow with the red face. His eyes stick out a little. See! -He's dropped his cards and his face isn’t red any more.” Dick strode across the room. His heavy boot shot up, dnd with a crash the table split, and glasses, cards, chips flew everywhere. As they rattled down and the chairs of the dumfound- ed players began to slide Dick called out: .“My name.is Gale.; I'm looking for Mr. Radford Chase.” A tall, heavy-shouldered fellow rose, boldly enough, even swaggeringly and glowered at Gale. - “I'm Radford Chase,” he said.

Ladd leaned against. a post with a smoking gun in his hand. . A Mexican crouched close to the wall moaning over a bro- ken arm. In the far corner upheld by comrades another wounded Mexi- can crled out in pain. These two had attempted to draw weapons upon Gale, and Ladd had crippled them. In the center of the room lay Rad- ford Chase, a lmp, torn, hulking, bloody figure. He was not seriously | injured.
