One block would give way, and bring its neighbors tumbling down with it. The titanic force, sweeping by, caught them up as if they had been marbles and hurled them into the valley, From the bank across the canon somebody called him. It was Melody; good old Melody* “I tried to save the cedes murmured slowly, + « he's down there,” “You tralled Esteban, eh?" 8he nodded. “The little chief 1 Blaze lied, wondering could have failed to think of his brother and sister. “The water will be spread out long hefore it gets to the haclenda.” Mercedes tried to sit up. “You're not hurt?" Kildare asked. “Just tired . very tired, Blaze. What will happen to Isteban now?" “Let the others ask that. You keep still,” he warned. “'Someone's coming now. It'll be Acklin, too,” It was the i3ig Boss. Skip and a dozen others were with him. The fury of the man suggested the onrush | of the angry waters through the gorge. At first he saw only Kildare. “What did it?” he shouted. YA bomb?” | His quick-acting brain an invasion of his empire that even the courts could not repair. He was off his horse in advance of his men and striding toward Blaze when he saw Mercedes. “What's she doing here?” he hel- lewed. Without giving him time to answer, he yelled: “You saw her! What was she up to?” Blaze got to his feet. “She was do‘n’' the best she could to save the dam,” he drawled omi- nously. | Mercedes spoke for the first time, “I was too late,” she half whis- pered. “Too late to save even my little brother.” The men gathered close about her, hanging on her words. Acklin felt himself outside the circle of sympathy. He turned and stared at the remains of the dam that had been his life's dream. Some 'one would pay for that! The lake was almost empty. Two men waded their horses across it and circled round until they were up with the others. It was Brother Jones and Melody with their questions. Skip had produced a flask, and Blaze doled out the stimulant to the | girl, Her face lost its whiteness. “Guess we better get you back to the Rancho now,” he suggested. Acklin overheard him. “This is a job for the sheriff,"” he snarled. “She's going to the Bull's Head.” The crowd caught the clash of wills. Blaze saw Melody., They exchanged & glance. “You misunderstood me Kildare's tones were too sweet, even, “I said that she was home,” he went on. Acklin should have known . than to contihue this, but he was ! blind with rage over his loss. He re- !gused to be warned. He raised his yhand to Skip. dam,” Mer. “Basillo | be all right,"” how Esteban had sensed slightly.” too going better “Do what 1 tell you," “T'ake her to the Bull's Head still givin' the orders here reached for his revolver Bkip started to move, but he took only a step, Kildare's guns covered the crowd “Throw up your hands, all of you!" * rasped out “I'll bust the first » that moves.

HE'S DOWN 'I‘H]'Illl‘li TOO. 1 ask any questions. I could quit 1 didn’t like it. 1 guess I'm through now, I suppose I'll be getting my pay in the morning.” Acklin glared at Kildare. His cx- pression changed as he told him what Mercedes had done. The girl's dar- ing won muttered approval from the men, Acklin walked back and forth for inute or two before answering. You may be right,” he growled at last. “I aim to find out, though. If she wasn't in this deal, her brother was. She’d never been here, other- wise, He wasn't alone, either, r never believe that a kid like Esteban coitid make a bomb good enough to Liow that wall out.” The big cow-man returned to his pacing back and forth, as indication that the incident was closed for the time being. The men stood about uneasily, wondering what they would do next. Brother Jones spoke to Blaze. Several others joined them. ‘With modesty peculiar to men of his type, Blaze said little of his rescue of Mercedes. Skip and the other boys wi equally reticent in commenting on it, but they under- stood. It was the cow-boy code. Acklin had been drawn back to his serutinizing of the wrecked wall. So | far no definite plan of action had | evolved in his mind. His foreman must have heard the explosion and must be on the way to his side.

By the time they had made the de- seent to the valley and climbed up to the high platcan on which Chet waited, some of Morrow's men from the peak had arrived, Cash himself had not yet shown up. Acklin left Patterson behind to wait for him, Leaving their horses when they neared the trees, the men spread out and began beating the brush.
