" DOWNS _EARN T TAKE ELLERS LIFES AS SUNSET PASS by Zane Grey SYNOPSIS: Open battle at last flares cut between Trueman Rock | Rock has | and Ash Preston. known that Ach is a cattle rust- ler, and that he has entangled his father; ‘Gage Preston, in the same_busincss. He must kill Ash tp save Gage and his daughter, Thiry, whem he loves, from dis- grace. Chapter 47 THE LAST BULLET Blood poured down. As he swept up his gun, Rock shot him through the middle. The bullet struck up dust beyond and whined away. But Ash, sus- taining the shock, fired again and knocked Rock flat. Like the dfirst bullet, this one struck as if it were the wind, high on his left shoulder. He heard two Ash had no will except to kills more heavy booms of Ash's gun felt the sting of gravel on his face. Half rising, Rock fired again. He heard the bullet strike. Terrible fleshy, sodde nsound! Ash's fifth shot spangled off Rock's extended gun, knocked it flying, beyond his reach. Preston was sagging. Bloody, magnificent, mortally stricken, he had no will except to kill. He say his enemy prostrate, weaponless. He got his gun up, but could not align it, and his last bullet struck far beyond Rock, to whine away. Ash’s physical strength had not matched his unquenchable spirit. He actually tried to fling the empty gun. It flipped at random. To and fro he swayed, all instinctive ac- tion ceasing, and with his ruthless eves on his fallen foe, changing, glazing over, setting blank, he fell Gage Preston hurried to Rock’s side. Men came running with hoarse shouts. “Help me—up,” said Rock, faint- 1y. They raised him, speaking in awed voices. Then he dragged them, half-hopping, careless of his dangling leg, over to the writhing Ash in time to see his last shudder. “Ah—huh!” gasped Rock in emo- tionless finality, with strength and sense slowly failing into oblivion. ‘When Rock came to his senses |, again he was lying on the floor of his cabin, where seemingly only a few moments before he had given advice to the proper care of the wounded Dunne. He gazed around at the grave faces of cowboys and cattlemen, at ‘Gage Preston, who, grim and white, was binding his leg; still working over the prostrate ‘Dunne. “Preston, how is it with—Rock” asked Dunne, huskily. “Wal, the top. bullet (lmud off. the bone” repiied the rahehen “Ugly hole, but nothin’ fer this fellar. The leg shot, though, is bleadin’ bad.” “Bind it tight,” whispered Rock. at Peeples, { | hands. somebody end tight.” Rock became conscious of awaks | lening pain, of a burning in his breast and a dull spreading fire in his" right leg. Presently Preston ‘rose from his task, wiping his [bloody hands, and the voices of watchers ceased. j “Somebody get Rock to town pronto,” he said, gruffly “Ain't safe ot leb him wait fer the doctor.” “Lon Bailey has his four-seat buckboard,” replied a cowboy. “We can take out the hind seat an’ fix | a place for Ro to la now,” replied Prmto: bent his gloomy gaze ck, if the artery ain't) “Hyor, help me hold thet thin' bad.” ! — 3 v\mspereri tly. “No—other way.” “Ha!

When ong and| gentle hands lifted him into the| buckboard he knew agony.' When | the swift wheels ran over a bump or a rut in the road it was like a rending of flesh and bone. He set his teeth and endured, his brain in the vise of sensorial per- ceptions. Ten miles covered, the| black night, the white stars, the cold—all of these he was aware of, but they meant nothing. Gray dawn and Wagontongue found him spent and in a daze of agony. Rock was lying in the pleasant | sitting-room of the Winters home, where a couch had been improvised for him. It was late in the day, according to the slant of the sun's rays coming through the low win- jdow above his bed. He had awak- ened. to less torture, but he could | Half rising, Rock fired again. move only his left arm and head.
