Joan falls in with a bandit gang in the mountains. To be near her, Gloster casts his lot with the gang, too. Joe Macarthur, the chief, confesses to Gloster that he killed the two prospectors, Samuel Car- ney, cashler of the Wickson Bank, glves Macarthur the combination to the safe, then repents of his deed and tells the president of the bank what he has done. At the bank the robbers are greeted with a storm of bullets. Macarthur and Gloster dash through a broken door. Than Macarthur, with a gasp, falls to his knees, fatally wounded. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Two unwdunded bandits remain- ed, and of these only Rainey had a weapon in his hand. He fired at that kneeling row of marksmen, The center figure dropped. The four remaining fled to a place of safety and the wounded man crawled after them. But, still, where could the fugi- tives go? There was only one horse | for the two unhurt men and for one | wounded — and this was Rainey's | gallant pony, which had trotted around the corner to joln him. There was only one horse for three | men, and the whole town, as could | be told by far off shooting, was ris- | ing. And then it was that they saw itwo horses racink down the maln | | street — Fern's men had chosen to charge home, then? 1 No, for the voice of one rider was shouting: “Gloster! Harry Glos- | ter!” | And ne recognizea Buck Danels, | with an answering shout of joy. | Yet Dantels did not reach them | first. From behind shot a great black | horse with a slim figure in the sad- dle — a glant of a horse which | came sliding to a halt before them | |in a cloud of stinging dust. ; “Harry!"” cried Joan. “Harry, are | you here?" { He had no time to feel ! that she should be there. “He'll carry two — swing up be- hind — quick!" | But there, gasping in the dirt be- | slde him, was Joe Macarthur, to| whom he had sworn, looking into his eyes, that he would be faith- tul. He scooped the heavy body up {in his arms, ran forward, and| tossed Macarthur across the pommel | of the saddle, | “Down the street, Joan,” Gloster shouted, “as fast as the horse will horror n't leave you!™ “For God's sake, Joan!" Buck Daniels had drawn up be- side themy and behind his saddle ‘lm‘l leaped Dud Rainey. They | | | moved off down the street with Gloster racing between the two horses, and behind them was a new roar of guns and a shout of rage. | Theygwere out of one trap, in- deed, but they were already in the Jaws of another. Straight before | them a dozen men ran out into the | street and threw themselves on | their bellies. In another instant the | bullets were whistling. There was no facing Aiming by starlight, and shaken with excltement, the prone men were missing, to be sure, but they | were finding their range. In a mo- ment they would begin to plant | their shots. i Down the strect there was a con- | tusion of yells as men ‘were mount- | Ing horses which had been kept | earefully concealed in back yards of the houses. Now they rushed for pursuit, Ahead and behind, then, | their way was totally blocked, | | Buck Daniels, pushing to the, | that fire. | lead, turned them in a new direc- tion. The double doors of a livery stable yawned wide to their right. | They might sweep through this| place and gain an exit to the open country behind. Even that, how- ever, would not avail them long with only two horses for five per sons. But in the stable ftself they might he able to get new mounts. | So, with the roar of hoof beats. they dashed into the old building. dome one rushed for cover, throw- | ing away a rifie in his haste. but Dud Rainey dived from the horsc | ot Buck Danlels and caught the with a flying tackle, Down ent with a crash. the time they had rieen, the others had halted their horses, Joe Macarthur lay stretched on the floor whers Harry Gloster had laid him gently, and Joan, dropping from the saddle on the lofty Captain, was kneeling at the side of the man. In the meantime, with a yell of exultation, the crowd in the street poured around the stable. On elther side and to the rear they ran, firing into the alr in blind joy, and it was plain that they felt that the group was trapped. Half a dozen ran for the open double dnnrs themselves but Buck Daniels ripped up the floor with & few bullets at their feet and drove them helter-skelter back There was still something to be Aone befo v took the bullding the rear.
