Here was a grotesque jape of fate, It was unthinkable, Absolutely. The man divined something of what was passing in her mind. “All in the line of business, 1i'l girl,"” he said, with a backward jerk of his head toward the front room where ha had killed her uncle. “I didn't have a thing against him-- personally. “There were dishes here on the table,”” she babbled hysterically. “They found them here after—after ~—showing how he'd fed you first, and—" “Sure he fed me,” he interrupted. “I was hungry, hungrier than I am now. Ala same, you gotta eat sup- per with me.” He twisted her wrist to emphasize his wish. She uttered a little moan. “Don’t! Oh, don't hurt me any more! TI'll do what you want." Beaten, body and soul, she went to the cupboard and got herself plate and and saucer, knife and fork and spoon. She sat down opposite the man and tried to eat. It required every atom of will power to induce her throat muscles to permit her to swallow. Dan Slike watched her with savage satisfaction. He found the situation intensely amusing.

What a joke! “1 saw two mules and a horse in the corral when I came by," he re- sumed. “Looks like a good horse— better than the one I left up in the timber. TI'll ride your horse and lead the other. Listen, I expect tomor- row sometime you'll have a few gents a'callin’ on you. It'll likely take those Golden Bar citizens till about then to pick up my trail.” CHAPTER XIII. “You see,” sald Dan Slike, as he topped his mount, “I ain't been hard on you. I only took what I needed. Think of that and be happy.” He whirled the horse and away. Hazel remained standing beside the corral gate, Suddenly she was con- scious of a great weariness. With dragging steps she returned to the house. When she returned to the kitchen, there was a man standing jn the middle of the room. Nothing had the power to surprise her now. She would not have been amazed had the devil himself popped into the room. The man turned at her entry. He' was Rafe Tuckleton. “What do you want?” she asked lifelessly. “Who's been here?” he demanded, pointing an accusing fingers at the table. “Two plates, two cups, two saucers—who you been entertaining?’" Entertaining! Good TLord! Hazel sat down on the wood-box and the rode “MY GAWD,” SHRILLED THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY, “IT'S RAFE TUCKLETON!"” laughed hysterically. He was around the table and con- fronting her in three strides. *“Who's been here?” he kept at her. “Dan Slike,” she said with a spas- modic giggle. “You're a liar,” he told her prompt- ly. “Dan Slike didn’ come this way. He—he went another way. You've had Bill Wingo here, that's whatsamat- ter.!’ She said nothing. had loved her—once. queer world it was. Everybody and everything at cross-purposes. Yet there was a reason for it all. Must be. Even a reason for Rafe. She looked up at Rafe. He was glaring down at her with a most villainous expres- sion on his lean féatures. “Say, whatsa use of lyin’' to me? You're an odd number, by all ac- counts, but you ain't so odd you could sit here and eat and drink and carry on with your uncle’s murderer. You can't tell me that.” She was regarding him with curi- ous eyes. ‘I thought you always said Dan Slike didn't kill my umcle?” “Well-—uh—you see, everybody else seems to think he did. And—ah— maybe I was wrong. “You had Bill Wingo here, and we'll settle this Wingo business right now. This Tip O'Gorman murder has queered him for keeps. Sooner or later he'll hang for it. You'd look fine wouldn't you, the widow of a—" “Don’t say it,”” she cut him short. “Billy Wingo is no murderer. How- ever, you can set your mind at rest. I'm not likely to marry Billy Wingo, or anybody else.” His eyes, savage and mean, held hers steadily. "I come over here, to- night to get you. I'm taking you back with me tonight to my ranch.” “You're taking me to your ranch!"” she gasped. “Me?" ' He nodded. *You, nobody else.” She laughed harshly without a note of hysteria. ‘“You're two hun- dred years behind the times. Men don't carry off theit women any more."” “Now for the first time she smelt his breath. It was rank with the raw odor of whiskey. So that was what had given him the wild idea of carry- ing her off by force. The man was drunk. Sober, he was bad enough. Drunk, he was capable of anything. 8he reached stoveward for the lid lifter. Rafe seized her wrist and jerked her sidewise. He was striving to kiss her and she, face crushed against his rough shirt, fought him like the primeval female every woman becomes in like circum- stances. Her right hand clawed up- ward at his face. Her left arm, doubled between their two bodies, she strove to work free so that she could grab his gun. Rafe received three distinct claw- ings that considerably altered the ap- pearance of one side of his face, be- fore he was able to confine those ac- tive fingers. “Here!” he bawled in a fury. “I'll fix you!" He tried to seize her by the throat Billy Wingo! He What a queer, T ——— Y PALACE—NEXT SUN,, MON,, TUES., WED. WHERE IS MY WANDERING BOY TONIGHT?

For, as his shoulders struck the wall, his head knocked away the bracket that held the clock Involuntarily he ducked his head, Tt was the worst thing he could have done, giving, as it did, the clock an extra foot to fall, It fell. One corner struck him fairly on the temple and knocked him cold as a wedge. When Hazel's reeling senses had re-established their equilibrium, she found herself on the floor, lying across the inert legs of Rafe Tuckleton, She raised herself on her two arms and looked at him. He was breathing very lightly. She dragged herself on hands and knees to where he had thrown his six-shooter, Rafe groaned a little, He rolled over and sat up, his chin sagging for- fward on his chest. He moved his head and looked at her vacantly. The blood ran down his cheek and dripped slowly off his chin. The light of reason glared of a sudden’in Rafe's eyes. She could see that he was absorbing the situation from every angle. “I'll give you five minutes to pull yourself together and get out,” she announced clearlg. “If you're still here by the time I've counted three hundred I'll begin to shoot.” Rafe started to go by the time she reached sixty. With the six-shooter pointing at the small of his back, her finger on the trigger, step by step she drove him out of the house to where he had left his horse. Hazel watched him ride away and after a little become as one with the moonlit landscape. She walked back to the house. She felt that she was taking enormous strides. In reality she was stepping short and staggering badly. She went into the kitchen. She closed the door, dropped the bar into place and fell into the nearest chair. “My God!"” she said aloud, “I won- der what will happen next?" CHAPTER XIV. “Now that we've got Dan out of jail,” the district attorney pattered on, “we've got to glom onto Bill Wingo, and the sooner the better. Me, I'm going out to Walton's tonight and question Hazel.” “We'll go,” said Sam Larder de- cidedly. “I ain't a heap attracted by your methods with the ladies, and I intend to see the girl gets a square deal.” i “Me too,” chimed in Felix Craft. The district attorney was none too well pleased and showed it. The moon was high in the heavens when the three men came to the mouth of the draw leading to the Walton ranch. A quarter-mile up this draw they came upon a man stand- ing beside a horse. He proved to be the town marshal, Red Herring. “It ain’t necessary for you to be watching the Walton ranch,” said the crotchety district attorney. “I got as much right to the rewapd as the next one, I guess,” flared the marshal. “If I wanna watch the ranch, I guess I got a right to do that, too.
