iVrtat the H Does This Mean?"
He Demanded Hotly.
The lawyer's face whitened and his
| hands gripped the arm of his chair.
I "You—you know me?"
j "Ilv reputation only," and Westeott
bowed. "hut that is scarcely to your
I credit. Now, Lacy and 1 have got a
i little ji!T;,ir to settle hot ween us and,
| being n fair-minded man he sent for
! me to talk it over. However, he real
! ires that an argument of that nature
v :uht easily become personal and that
j if arytlUng unpleasant occurred he
! would require a witness. So he ar
[ ranees to have you present. Do you
j see the point. Mr. Knrlgl.
I The lawyer's eyes sotigh: I. icy, and
I thru returned to the stern face con
: fr<'Titinhim. His ilps sputtered:
"As—as a witness?"
"Sure; there m iy be honor among
i thieves, but not Lacy's kind." He
I strode forv.iril and with one hand
crushed Enright hack Into his chair.
"Now, listen to me." he said fiercely.
| "I've got only one word of advice for
I you: don't take any hand in this af
; fair, except as a peacemaker, fcr if
you do you are going to get hurt. Now,
i 1 came to ask you u question and one
■ of you two are going to answer before
j I leave—k»-ep your hands up, and in
slghi. Lacy: make another move like
' that ami it's liable to be your lust. I
am not lure in any playful tuood, and
i kti"W your style. Lay that gun on
the desk where I can see it—that's
right.* Now move your chair back."
Lacy did this with no good grace,
tiis face purple with passion. "Some
i considerable gun-play just to usk a
I questlou," lie said tauntingly, "must
I be mighty important. All right, what
| is It?"
i "Whore did your man Moore take
| Miss Donovan Inst night?"
I Neither man had anticipated this;
neither had the slightest conception
; that any suspicion of this kind pointed
j to them. The direct question was like
the sudden explosion of a bomb. What
j d'd Westcott know? How had he dis
. covered their participation in the af
j fair?
"Yon have rather got the better of
me, Westcott," Lacy said, shrugging
his shoulders, as though dismissing the
■ subject. "You refer to the New York
newspaper woman?"
"I do—Hiss Stella Donovan."
"I have not the pleasure of that
J lady's acquaintance, but Timmons in
( formed me this morning that she had
| taken the late train last night for the
; Kast—isn't that true, Enright?"
i The lawyer managed to nod, but
without venturing to remove his gaze
from Westcott's face. The latter never
I moved, but his eyes seemed to
harden.
"I have had quite enough of that.
Lacy." he said sternly# and the watch
ful saloon keeper noted his fingers
close more tightly on the butt of his
revolver. "This Is no case for an
(lilbi. I know exactly what I am talk
ing about, and—I aiu going to have a
direct answer, either from you or En
right.
"This !s the situation: I was the man
listening at the window of your shack
last night. Moore may. or may not
have recognized me, but, nevertheless.
I was the man. I was there long
enough to overhear a large part of i
your conversation. I know why you i
consented to close down La Rosita for
the present: I know your connection
with this gang of crooks from New
York: I know that Fred Cavendish was
not murdered, but is being held a pris
oner somewhere, uatil Enright. here. I
i nn sit-Mi in* money uuuer some logai
form. Enrlght told you who Stella Dono
vnn was, and what he suspected her
object might be. Force Is the only
method you know anything about, and
no other means occurred to you where
by the girl could be quickly put out of
the way. This was resorted to last
night after you returned to Haskell."
"Tou are a good dreamer. Why not
ask Ttmmons to show you the letter
she leftr'
"I have already seen It You thought
you had the trail well covered. That
note was written not by Miss Donovan,
but by the blonde In your outfit. The
tvhole trouble Is that your abduction
•it Stella was witnessed from a back
window of the hotel."
Lacy leaped to his feet, hut West
cott's gun rose steadily, and the man
stood with clenched hands, helpless
!n h!s tracks.
"I'll get you for this, Westcott," he
muttered savagely, hate burning in his
eyes. 'I haven't played my last cards
—yet."
The miner smiled grimly, but with
no relaxation of vigilance. He was
into it now, and proposed seeing It
through.
"I have a few left myself," he re
turned soberly. "Your man Moore
drove south, taking the road leading
Into the Shoshone desert, and he had
another one of your gang with him.
Then you, and two others, went back
into the hotel, using the outside stairs.
I take it tin- two others were Enright,
herp. :ui'I Ned Beaton."
; He leaned forward, his face set like
flint.
"Now see here. Lacy, 1 know these
things. It is up to you to answer uiy
question?, and answer them straight
I've cot you two fellows dead to rights
anyway yon look at It. If you dare
lay hands on me, I'll kill you, if you
refuse to tell me what 1 want to know,
I'll swear out warrants InsMe of thirty
minutes. Now, what do you choose?"
"It I answer—what then?" Lacy
prowled desperately. "What Is offered
me?"
Westcott moistened his lips. He had
not hefore faced the situation from
this standpoint, yet, with only one
thought in niitul^ he answered
promptly.
"1 am not the law," he said, "and all
I am interested in now Is the release
o.t Fred Cavendish and Stella Dcrio
van. I'll accomplish that If it has to
be over your dead bodies, F.oyond this,
I wash ray hands of the whole af
fair. What 1 want to know Is—whore
are these two?"
"Would you believe me If I said I
did not know?"
"No, Lacy. It has come down to the
truth, or your life. Where Is Pascual
Xlendez?"
He heard no warning, no sound or
movement, yet some change in the ex
pression of the man's eyes confront
ing him caused him to slightly turn his
head so as to vaguely perceive a
shadow behind. It was all so quickly,
silently done, he barely had time to
throw up one hand in defense,, when
his arms were gripped as though In a
vise, and he was thrown backward to
the floor, the chair crushed beneath his
weight. Lacy fairly leaped on his
prostrate body, forgetting his gun lying
on the table in the violence of hate, his
hands clutching at the exposed throat.
For an instant Westcott was so dazed
and stunned hy this sudden attack
from behind as to lie there prone and
helpless, fairly crushed beneath the
bodies of his two antagonists.
It was this that gave him his chance,
for, convinced that he was unconscious,
both men slightly relaxed their grip,
thus giving hi n opportunity to regain
nreatn, ami suiien ins muscies iur «
supremo effort. With one lashing out
of a foot that sent Enright hurtling
against the farther wall, he cracked
Lacy's head against a corner of 'ho
desk, and closed in deadly strugglo
with the third man, whom he now rec
ognized as Beaton.
Before the latter could comprehend
what had happened the miner was on
top. and a clenched fist was driven Into
his face with all the force of a sledge,
hammer. But barroom fighting was no
novelty to the gunman, nor had he any
scruples as to the methods employed.
With teeth sunk into his opponent's
artn. and fingers gouging at his eyes,
the fellow struggled like a mad dog;
yet, in spite of every effort to restrain
him, Westeott, now filled with the
fierce rage of tiattle, broke free, fairly
tearing himself from Benton's desper
ate clutch, and pinning him helplessly
against the wall.
At the same Instant Lacy, who had
regained his feet, leaped upon him
from behind, striking him with all his
force, the violence of the blow, even
though a grazing one, driving the
miner's head into the face of the gun
man.
Both wept down together, hut West
j Pinning Him Helplessly Against the
Wall.
I at. 7.15 Trrt again before Lacy
I could act, closing with the latter. It
| was hand-to-hand, the silent struggle
i for mastery between two men not un
evenly matched, men asking and re
ceiving no mercy. The revolver of one
lay on the floor, the other still reposed
on the open desk, and neither could
be reached. It was a battle to be
fought out with bare hands. Twice
Westcott struck, his clenched fist bring
ing blood, but Lacy clung to hlni, one
hand twisted in his neck-band, the
other viciously forcing back his head.
Unable to release the grip, Westcott
gave back, bending until his adversary
was beyond balance; then, suddenly
straightening, hurled the fellow side
ways. But by now Beaton, dazed and
confused, was upon his feet. With the
bellow of u wild bull he flung himself
on the struggling men, forcing Lacy
I aside, and smashing Into Westcott with
alt the strength of his body. The Im
petus sent all three crashing to the
floor.
Excited voices sounded without;
then blows resounded against the
wood of the locked door, but the three
nieu were oblivions to all but their
own struggle. Like so many wild
[ beasts they clutched and struck, unable
to disentangle themselves. Enrlght,
. his face like chalk, got to hip knees
I and crept across the floor until his
hand closed on Westcott's revolver.
Lifting himself by a grip on the desk,
he swung the weapon forward at the
very instant the miner rose staggering,
| dragging Beaton with him. There
was a flash of flame, a sharp report,
I and Westcott sprang aside, gripping
the back of a chair. Tim gunman sank
into shapelessuess on the floor as the
chair hurtled through the air straight
at Enrlght's head.
With a crash the door fell, and a
black mass of men surged in through
the opening, the bartender leading
them, an axe in his hand. Beaton
| lay motionless just as he had dropped;
I Enri'ht was in one corner, dazed, un
nrrved, n red gash across his fore
i head, from which blood dripped, tho
I revolver, struck from his fingers, yet
smoking on the floor; Westcott, his
clothes torn, his face bruised by
blows, breathing heavily, went slowly
backward, step by step, to the farther
wall, conscious of nothing now but the
savagely hostile faces of these new
enemies. Lacy, staggering as though
drunk, managed to attain his feet,
] hate, desire for revenge, yielding him
strength. This was his crowd, and hla
mind was quick to grasp the oppor
| tunlty.
"There's tne man wno ara it, no
shouted, his arm flung out toward
Westcott. "I saw him shoot. See,
that's his gun lying on the floor. Don't
let the murderer get away I"
lie started forward, an oath on his
lips, and the excited crowd surged af
ter, growling anger. Then the mass
of them seemed suddenly rent asunder,
and the marshal plowed his way
through heedlessly, his lint gone, and
a blue-barreled gun in either hand. He
swept the muzzle of one of these Into
the bartender's face menacingly, his
eyes searching the uiaddeued crowd.
"Walt a minute, you," he command
ed sharply. "I reckon I've got some
thing to say 'bout tills. Put down that
axe, Mike, or ye'll never draw another
glass o' beer In this camp. Yon know
me, lads, an' I never draw except fer
business. Shut your mouth, Lacy;
don't touch that gun, you fool! Iam
In charge here—this is my Job; and if
there is going to be any lynching done,
if will be ufter yon get me. Stand
back, now; all of you—y$s, get out
Into that barroom. I mean you, Mike! [
This man Is my prisoner, and I'll de
fend him. Ay! I'll do more, I'll lei
him defend himself. Here, Westcott;
pick up your gun on the floor. Now,
stand here with me! We're going out
through that bunch, and if one of
those coyotes puts a paw on you, let
him have it!"
The crowd made way, reluctantly
enough, growling curses, but with no
man among them sufficiently reckless
to attempt resistance. They lacked
leadership, for the little marshal nev
er once took his eye off Lacy.
At the door he turned, walking back
ward, trusting In Westcott to keep
their path clear, both leveled revolvers
ready for any movement.
