Some ranchman, I suppose, taking a short cut home.” They spent an hour on Long Prairie, shooting from the buckboard. Nancy Derwent, an active, outdoor Western girl, was pleased with her 12-bore. She had bagged within two brace of her companion's score. They started homeward at a gentle trot. When within 100 yards of Piedra creek a man rode out of the timber directly toward them. “It looks like the man we saw com- ing over,” remarked Miss Derwent. As the distance between them les- sened, the district attorney suddenly pulled up his team sharply, with his eyes fixed upon the advancing horse- man. That individual had drawn a Winchester from its scabbard on his saddle and thrown it over his arm. “Now I know you, Mexico Sam!” muttered Littlefield to himself, “It was you who shook your rattles in that gentle epistle.” Mexico Sam did not leave things long in doubt, He had a nice eye in all matters relating to firearms, so when he was within good rifle] range, but outside of danger from No, 8 ‘hot, he threw up his Win- chester and opened fire upon the oo cupants of the buckboard, The first shot cracked the back of the seat within the two-inch space be- tween the shoulders of Littlefield and Miss Derwent, The next went thru the dashboard and Littlefield’s trous ere log. ‘The district attorney hustled Nan- cy out of the buckboard to the ground.

Fire as fast as you ean!
