westcott lay outstretched on tne
far side of the dune, his hat beside
him, and his eyes barely able, to peer
"Where In Sam Hill Did You Come
From?"
over the summit, ready to report ob
servations to the marshal crouched
below.
"It's Moore's team, si 11 rteht !ie
whispered back. "and Matt is driving
them. There Isn't anyone eNe on the
seat. so I guess he must t>e alone."
"We can't be sure of that, returt.ed
Brennan. wise In guarding asraitist
surprises. "There wus another fellow
with hiiu on the out trip and lie might
be 1} >down back iu the wa^ou.
We'd better both of ns hold pm up. I
can hear the creak of the wheels now,
so maybe you best slide down. Is the
out tit loaded?"
"Traveling light. X should say." and
U'esteott. after one more glance, crept
down the sand heap and Joined the
waiting man below. Both stood intent
and ready, revolvt r< drawn, listening,
"he heavy wheels grated in the sand,
the driver whistling to while away the
dreary pull and the horses breathing
heavily. Moore pulled tln-m up with a
Jerk as two figures leaped into view,
his whistle coming to an abrupt pause.
"II—I's fire!" was all he said, staring
dumbly down Into Brertr.an's face over
the front wheel. "Where in Sam Hill
did you come from?"
"I'm the one to ask questions, sun."
returmi! the little marshal, the vicious
blue barrel shining in the sunlight,
"and the smarter you answer the less
reason I shall have to hurt yer. Don't
reach for that gun! Are you traveling
llone?"
Moore nodded, fits hands up, but
still grasping the reins.
"Then climb down over the wheel.
Jim, take a look under that canvas;
Moore, here. 1« generally a genial sort
o' liar and we'd better be sure. -All
right—hey? Then dismount. Mart, and
be quick about it. Now unbuckle that
belt aud hand the whole outfit over to
Westcott; then we'll talk btfliness to
gether."
He shoved his own weapon back into
its holster and faced the prisoner, who
had recovered from his first shock of
surprise and whose pugnacious temper
was beginning to assert itself. Bren
nan read this in the man's sulky, de
fiant glance, and his lips smiled
grimly.
"Getting bullish, are you. Matt?" lie
said, rather softly. "Coin" t. r keep t»
close tongue in yer head; so that's the
game? Well. I wouldn't, son. if I was
you. Now. see here, Moore." and the
marshal's eyes were like flints. "You
know me, I reckon, an' that I ain't
much on boys' play. You never heard
tell o' my hittln' anybody Just fer fun,
did yer?"
There was no answer.
"An' yer never heard no one say."
went on Brennan. "that I was afraid
ter hit when I needed to. I reckon also
yer knows what sorter man .Tint West
cott Is. Now the two ov us ain't out
here In this d d Shoshone desert
fer the fun of It—not by a Jugful. Get
that fact into yer head, sou. an' maybe
it'll bring yer some sense. Do yer get
me?"
"Yes." sullenly and reluctantly,
"but yer haven't got nuthin' on uie."
"Oh, haven't I? You drove a young
woman out here from Haskell night
afore last for Bill Lacy. Ain't ab
duction no crime? An' that's only one
count. I've had on eye on you for
mure'a JBOUtUs. an' Luuv's been
making a cat'spaw out of you all that
! time. Well, Lacy Is playln* his last
! hand right now, an' I've got the
cards." The marshal paused, fully
aware that he had struck home, then
added quietly: "It aliens struck me
Matt, that naturally you was a pretty
decent fellow, but had drifted In with
a bad crowd. I'm offering you now a
chance to get straight again." Ho
threw back his coat and exhibited his
star. ''Yer see, I ain't just talkin^ ter
! yer as l>an Brennan—I'm the law."
1 " The boy, for he was scarcely more
I than that In years, shuffled his feet
I uneasily, and his eyes wandered from
Brennan to Westcott. The look of sul
' len defiance had vanished,
i "Woteher wanter ask?"
j "Who was with you the out-trip,
i along with Miss Donovan?"
I "J00 Sikes." '
1 "And yer left him back there, guard
1 log th? girl?" .
Ik "He stayed; them was the orders,
while I was to bring back the team;
but I reckon he won't need to do no
guardln' to speak of. fer we run Inter
a bunch o' fellows."
••How many are they?" n
"Maybe a dozen; I don't Just know.
"What was done with the young
lady?" .
Moort» spat vindictively Into the
sand, digging a hole with his heel. He
hud talked already more than he in
tended but what was the difference?
"Cateras took her," he admitted,
"i,ut I don't kuow whar. I tried ter find
out whar she was. but nobody'd tell
me. Then I had ter pull out."
j Westcott Interjected a question.
I "What's the valley like, an' how do
| you get into It?" >
I "Well. I'd say It was just t- sort o
sink in the desert, a kinder freak.
Anvhow. I never snw nuthin' like it
•ifore The walls Is solid rock, almost
straight up an' down, but thar's a con
siderable stream flowin' down thar
that Jiwt bursts out a hole In the
I rock, an' plenty o" grass fer quite a
I bunch of steers."
I "How do they get down Into it?
j " 'l.ung a wlndln' trail on the west
side It used to be mighty rough. I
reckon, an' only good fer hikers, but
thev fix I'd it up so they can drive cat
tie down. an' even n wagon If yer take
it easy.-' .
"And there is no other way to tlie
bottom except tflong this trail?"
I "That's bout all."
Brennan and Westcott looked at
each other, both uncertain as to the
next step. What were they to «Jo with
their prisoner? And how coul.W .hey
proceed toward effecting the rescue of
the helpless girl? it was a problem
not easv to solve. If what Moore told
mem was true. The latter shuffled bis
feet in the sand, lifted his eyes shrewd
iv and studied the faces of his cap
tors. He vas figuring his own
chance, , _ .
"You fellows want ter get dov\« in
ter the valley?" he asked nt last.
"Yes." and Brinnan turned again
quickly, "if it can be done. 01 course
thnr's only two of us. an* it would be
I -iort o' foolish tryta' ter fight a way
through, even ag'ln' Mexicans. Fif
teen ter two is some odds, but tain t in

round an' leave that girl In the bands
o' them cusses—is it, Jim?
"1 never will," replied We*t<ott

I whole outfit alone."
j "You won't have to do that. What s
i the idea. Moore?"
| "Oh. I was just thlnkln. he an

Brennan stiffened, his features ex
pressing nothing.

"That's the gospel truth. Matt he
<-,ld gravely, "an' I'm with yer 111 the

"Well." with a quick breath as he
took the plunge, "it's like this, mar

FAULTY GLOVES MEAN DEATH
Good Reason Why Electric Linemen
Take Especial Care of the Rubber
/ Hand Coverings.
Ton would be extremely careful In
your selection of n pair of gloves If
you knew that a rip or tear would
probably cost you your life.
This is the case in which the elec
tric lineman finds himself, we are told
by a writer In the American Machin
ist. He then goes on and describes
the linemen's gloves and the great care
with which they are tested. He says:
"Some day when you are walking
along a main-traveled rond, where traf
fic is plied back as far as one can see,
and linemen nre repairing a broken
wire, stop and watch them work.
"The gloves they wear tell a unique
story. Probably the line they are han
dling Is 'alive' and carrying electric
current enough to cause Instant death;
yet they pick It up, twist It, splice It
as nonchalantly as though handling a
fishing tackle. They are able to pick
up the live wire because of the rubber
gloves they wear.
"Did you know that these gloves are
today made according to rigid specifi
cations completely standardized, and
that no purchasing agent dare buy rub
ber gloves until he has thoroughly
tested them? No glove can be marked
with the manufacturer's name or with
the size In such a mnnner as to Injure
It In any way. The gloves must each
be more than 14 Inches long and the
average thickness not less than 0.00
Inch. They must have a tensile
strength of 1.200 pounds per square
Inch and bear having two Inches of
their surface stretched to 12 Inches
without a rupture. The gloves must
be capable of withstanding the appli
cation of 18,000 volts without punc
turing."
Man to Avoid.
Reware of the man of the harsh
and sneering voice, he that neve."
laughs and rarely smiles, for In till
henrt of him there lleth much cruelty
and treason and the cowardlct that
lurks to smite umnvares.—Jan Ban
