We bin together a| long time. | “You have seen my brother then?| He is not hurt?" “No! He's all right, | cried hisself to death.” | “Oh, I wish you had brought him | here,” Mercedes gasped. | “Well, lady, Buck was afraid they wouldn't be anythin’ left of this place. | T bin hours gittin' here. 1 got a rig to take you in. We'll have to go round by the Winnemucca road to make it." The girl weighed what she was do- ing, for all of her excitement, as she followed Shorty downstairs to his| team. She had good reason to fear ®odine; but she had 10 go to Basilio. At least, it would be dawn when she arrived there. In answer to a sudden impulsc shvl gnatched a pin from her dress, and as| ghe stepped upon the veranda she| fastened Bodine's note to the door without attracting Shorty’s attention. Melody would be sure to find it there. With a distinct sense of fear she tcok her seat beside Bodine's man. Being alone with him in the hacienda, with its old associations and familiar objects to give her courage, had been terrible enough; being in the open with him in the dead of night was infinitely more terrifying. As they went on and the wagon continued to rock back and forth, the girl became drowsy. Her struggle to keep to her end of the seat began .to cease. The man beside her was no longer the evil-looking thing he had been. Mercedes felt her head resting on his shoulder. Tt was sof[j and wonderfully comfortable. She | sighed contentedly. | By the time they came to the main | road she slept. Shorty’s arm was| around her to keep her from falling, | the expression on his face as emotion- | less as ever. In this fashion they| traveled to Webster Creek. They had not vet arrived there! when the note Mercedes had pinned | to the door of the hacienda caught Kent's attention. His place had es-| caped, and his first thought had been | of the girl and Bastlio.

Still Blaze realized as Kent and he dashed along that if the Big Boss and his men got to Webster Creek first, as was most likely, the odds against being able to play for time until the sheriff and his posse arrived would make the effort almost hopeless. The cow-bhoy racked his brain to in\'rm.i gome game of Cross purposes by which he could accombplish this seem- ing impossibility. He understood | | fully, too, that even with the sheriff| there it was no certainty that Bodine | would not be hanged. Tf Acklin in-| sisted on going through with his| | threat, the law would be sorely tried |to stop him. | | They came directly to the place] where the road forked. Blaze was | ahead.
