ROBBERS’ ROOST by ZANE GREY ot 1, b o At Mo Al INSTALLMENT XX. T was dark by the time Happy Jack called them to supper. Jim car- ried over an armload of brush to make a bright fire. By its flare Hays was seen approaching, and when he drew near he said: “Jim, did they tell you straight how I came to draw on Brad?” “Recken they did,” replied Jim, caldly. . “Anythin’ to say?” o, I don't see how you could have acted any differentl “Wal, you've coppered it with the ace. The second Brad jumped me I seen in his eyes he meant to egg me on to draw. So I did it quick. ... Jack what you got for supper?” By‘\‘?flcit consent and without a single word the men avoided Happy Jack's table that night and ate around the camp fire. Hays stood up, Smoky sat on a stone, Jim knelt on one knee and the others adcpted characteristic poses reminiscent of the trail. “Cool after the rain,” remarked Hays, after he had finished. And he took up a blazing fagot of wood. “Reckon I'll make a little fire fer my lady prisoner.’ He stalked away, waving the fagot to keep it ablaze. call that nervy “What you think, Jim ust a bluff.

But the ehief sat there, a fading figure in | the dusk. Finally Helen went into her | tent. Jim grasped at that break in the the hour and stole away to his | bed. Some time during the night Jim was | awakened. As he lay there, eyes open, | a soft hand touched his cheek and a| closer, and she could whisper very “First I want to tell you how cruelly it has come home to me—my ignorance, my failure to believe and trust you, even after you—so—rudely insulted me that day up on the mountain trail.

Helen, trust me, it's the best plan. “If you take me back to my brother Tl give you the ransom.” “Don't insult me,” he replied bitterly.
