And so, climbing steadily and in comparative silence, these two, whose hearts were strong, came at last to the top of False Ridge—a thin knife~ blade of stone—and looked abruptly and suddenly down on the other side. With a little gasp Tharon put # hand to her throat, for there, an wn~ believably short distance down, lay the Cup o’ God, without a doubt. A small, round glade of living green, watered by a whispering stream tha. lost itself the Lord knew where, it lay like a tiny gem in the pink stone setting. Trees stood in utter quie: about its edges, for there was no slightest breath of air. Lush grass carpeted its level floor. And there, almost directly under the marked way leading down, lay a tiny camp— the ashes of « dead fire, & gun against a tree, and—here Tharon leaned far out and looked as if he very spirit would penetrate the 4 tance—a blanket spread on the level arth, on which there lay the body of a man. It was a trim body, they could see from where they stood, cid in dari garments of olive drab that hugged the lean limbs close, “Kenset whispered Tharon with paling lips. “Kenset of th’ foothi —an'—he—looks,” she wet those ashy lips, “he—looks like he is dead Without another word she set he feet in the precarious way and wer down so fast that Billy's beart rose in_his throat, She went seemed possi and before down faster than it for anything to gv rider was able catch up she had leaped to the grasty floor and Was running forward to ward that still form on the blanket “Kenset!” she cried, "Kenset!

She pushed his face from/ her and looked into it as if she would see his very soul, the «pars running on her white cheeks, he: lips working soundiessly, Billy stocd for a second at the foot of the Wall, and the nails ¢ lin his palms. Then he whirled and went fast as he could walk toward the first trees that presented them selves—and he could not see where he was going for the bleak gray mist that swam in his eyes. And then all the world fell about him, it seemed, for a gun cracked from the trees beyond him and « wasp stung his cheek. He whirled, looked, drew his stx- gun and began firing at the man who stood in plain sight Just where he had stepped into the Cup from the mouth of a little blind eut where the stream went out in the noise and lost itself. This was a big man, sinister and cold and dark, a half-breed Pomo of Courtrey’e gang, a stiN-hunter who did a lot of dirty work which the others refused, Then before he could draw and fire again he saw the prettiest piece of work he had ever witnessed. He sa Tharon crouch and stoop, saw her hands flash in Jim Last's famous back-hand flip, saw the red flame spurt from her hips, and the Pom half-breed flung up his hands anc fell in a heap, his face in the grass He did not move. Only a long ripple Dagaed over his ‘ody. Another gun had barked defiance when she had fired, and turning, thes saw Kenset, with his face buried in his hands, and beside him lay another gun, the smoke still curling from its muzzle. “By God!” said the rider ,softly, “what's this?” and he ran forward to pick up the weapon. “Three of us!" he said aloud, “pep. perin’ him at once! Kenset, where did you get this gun?” But Kenset did not speak. His shoulders trembled, his dark head was bowed to the eart’. ‘Answer me,” said Billy, “for as sure’s I live, this here's Buck Court- rey’s favorite gun—the gun with the untrue firin’ pin, Look here.” And he held it toward Tharon, who leaned near to look. True enough, In the right side of the plunger there was a small, shining nick, as if, at some previous time, a tiny chink had been broken out of it, “I found it where I saw Courtrey hide it that night they brought me. here,” said Kenset in a muttled veice “Tt crawled when the Pomo was out) in Canons after meat. ve got the proof on Courtrey now,” said Billy nd we've got to wet back to the Valley and see that he gets his due Do Not Miss To-morrow’s Installment Broadway Bab By Johnston McCulley.
