On the way Gloster saves the life of a stranger, Lee Haines, from the murderous hands of a scoundrel by the name of Joe Macarthur.

He could only Lope that, by drawing the brim of his sombrero over his face, and (lattening himself against the wall, he would not be teen as the front of the posse rolled by. They came now, with three or four eager riders rushing in the lead and, ridmg all the harder as they heard the beat of hoofs from their quarry so short a distance before them. These were no short winded sprinters, over- burdened by riders of unusual weight. They rode like avenging whirlwinds. On they pushed, and then raised a yell, for down the canon ahead of them the noise of the gelding's gallop had fallen away to a trot. "Scatter, boys!"- yelled the com- manding voice of Sheriff Sim Hargess. a few seconds all were over the edge and headed into the plain beyond. Nevertheless, they had taken more out of their horses in that brief group of seconds that in a mile of hard running. That handicap might balance the weight of Gloster in the saddle, So, at least, he hoped. And after the next furious half mile, in which he barely managed to hold them even, his hopes increased. Some of them were using their guns, pumping shot after shot in his direction. For his own part, he was jockeying his horse with the utmost care, sway- ing with every stride, leaning to cut the pressure of the wind. * Yet all this | would not do. They began to gain again. The firing stopped. There was a périod of fierce and silent riding, and then he saw that they were creep- ing up steadily on either flank. Desperately he looked about him. Had he a gun he might have driven them back to arm's length and given a chancp or some sort of manoeuvr- ing. But now all he could do was to use up the last strength of the mus- tang in a final burst. torches to find his trail, and, having three falls and a thousand curses, but|found it; they were doubtless tracking him across the desert almost as fast breaking for the sheds, and, for that as sheir horses could gallop." By the time he reached the barns and sheds of the ranch the lights had disappeared behind him.

He found the saddles after a brief search in one of the sheds. And with soddle and bridle over his arm he ran out into the corrol. The horses milled before him; but he pressed resolutely in, regardless of possible flying heels, for in the distance that beat of hoofs was growing and he could hear a voice calling--that must be the sheriff-- "Spread out!
