Moore swept ms eyes over toe mm ,
rantre of sanil, expectorated thought- I
fully, and rammed Ills hauds deep Into
his trouser-pocketa. He was slow
about answering, but the two men
waited motionless.
"If it was me." he said finally, "I'd
lake U on foot. It'll be a jaunt ov
near on to three miles, unless yer
want ter risk bein' seen by them j
Mexes on the main trail. You couldn't1
co straight, but would have ter circle I
out an' travel mostly behind that ridge |
o' sand thar to the left. (Join' that ,
a-way nobody's likely ter pet sight o'.
yer on foot. You couldn't take no !
hoss, though. Here'd be my plan:]
Lend this yere outtlt o' mine nu' your!
ponies back Inter them saud dunes i
whar nobody ever goes. They're tired |
'nough ter stand. :in" there ain't any- i
thing fer 'em to gr:ize on. Then we
kin hoof It over ter the place I'm tell- j
In' yer about, an' yer kin sorter size
It up fer yerselves. That's fair, ain't,
itr
They went at it with a will. The
team wus driven Into the security of
the saud drifts and unhitched. The
saddles were taken from the backs of
the ponies, and what grain Moore laid
In the wagon was carefully appor
tioned among the f»\jsr animals. Satis
fled these would not stray, the men
looked carefully to their supply of
ammunition arid set forth on their
tramp.
This proved n harder Journey than
either Brennan or Westcott hud an
ticipated, for Monro led off briskly,
taking a wide circle, until a consider
able ridge concealed their movements
from 'he south. At Inst Moore turned
sharply and plunged into what resem
bled a narrow ravine throuch the
ridtre. Here they struggled knee deep
ii the sand, but finally emerged oil the
very rim overlooking the valley.
So perfectly was it concealed they
were within ten feet of the edge be
fore the men. their heads bent in the
strenuous effort to advance. i^en real
ized Its immediate preseiiee. Moore
grinned as he noted the surprise (!••
plcteil on their faces, and waved his
Hand.
"Yer better lie down nn' crawl up ■
ter the edg-.' he advised. "Some
hole, ain't It?"
"I should say so," and Westcott
dropped to his knees. "1 never
dreamed of such a place. Dan, ain't
this an eye-opener?"
' It sute is." and the marshal crept
cautiously forward. "Only It's devils
who've got possession. What's that
down below. Matt? Houses, by Jillgn!
Well, don't that beat h—1?—all the
comforts of home."
"Two big cabins," explained Moore,
rather prmid of his knowledge. "Cart
ed the logs In from ol' Isaldy. more'n
torty miles. Creep up a hit an' I'll
show yer how the trail runs. I>on't
ne nfeord; nobody kin see yer frmu
>lown below.*'
"All right, son; where Is It?"
"It starts at the foot o' that bowl
der,'" indicating with his finger, "an*
goes along the shelf elenr to the end;
then thar's a drop ov maybe live feet
to that outcroppin' <>' rock just below.
It's wider than it looks to he from
rere. After that yer can trace It
quite a spell with yer eyes, kinder
sidlin' ter the left, till yer come to
that dead root ov a cellar. Then
thar's a gup or two that ain't over
easy, an' a slide down ter another
shelf. Yer can't miss it. cause there's
110 other way ter go."
"And what's nf the bottom?"
"Them huts, an' the mouth of n big
OHve just behind 'em. I reckon it's in
the <iive they've cot the gal : there's
pluces there they kin shut up. hut I
don't know what they was ever made l
tVr. I asked Lacy wunst. hut ho only I
laughed."
The two men lay flat, staring down.
It was almost a sheer wall, and the
very thought of climbing alone the al
nii.it In. passable path pointed <>ut by
:-.iide Westcott dizzy. It was
suoli ■» precipitous drop, a path ,
—If path It conld be called—so thick- j
!y studdetl with danger the mind ac- |
'iially recoiled In contemplation. I
They were still sitting there cross
legged iu the sand when the silencc
was suddenly punctuated by the sharp
report of a revolver. The sound bare
ly reached their ears, yet It undoubt
edly came from below, and all three
ivere upon their feet, when f, second
shot decided the matter.
Westcott was first at the rim, star- .
Ing eagerly downward. For a mo
ment all he noticed was a tnin lying
on the ground in front of the small
hut, but almost Immediately men be
gan to swarm out through the door
of the bunk-house, and a horseman
came spurring from the field beyond.
The men were nrmed, several with J
guns In their hands; all with revolv
ers buckled at the waist, and they j
bunched there. Just ouulde the door, k

evidently startled, i>uc not Knowing
which way to turn. The figure on the
ground lifted itself juirtl.v. and the
felhm must have called to the others,
although no sound of a voice attained
the simimit of the ellfT. fur !'•« whole
gam: rushed in that direction, and
clustered al'OUt, gesticulating excit
edly.
An occasional Sixtuish oath exploded
from the luuss with sutficient vehe
mence to reach the strained oars
ahove. f.nd the watchers were aide to
l»-ii eive (lie fellows lift the fallen inau
tn Ms fi et, and untie his hands, which
"■■re apparently secured lichimi nis
hack. lie must have been wounded
al>i>. fur one sleeve was hastily rolled
up. ami water brought from the stream,
in wlileh It was bcthed. Moore's hand
closed convulsively on the marshal's
arm.
••It's ol' Mendez. a* I'm a livin' sin
ner," In* announced hoarsely. "An*
somebody's plunked him. Wlut'd yer
make o' that?"
isremtan never removed his gaze
fpiim the otih" below, t ut his face was
teu. e with Interest.
"lilamcd if I know; might be a mere
row—hold on. there! Whoever did it
is in that cabin; watch what they're
up to, now."
.More puns were brought forth from
the bunkhouse, and distributed; the
single horseman redo swiftly up the
valley, and a half-dozen of the fel
lows lugged a heavy timber up from
the corral, and dropped It on the
ground in front of the smaller cabin.
Mendez, his arm in a sling, passed
from group to group, profauely busy,
snapping out orders.
"They are going to break in the door
with that log:" muttered Westcott be
tween Ids clenched teeth. "Thar white
head down there is boiling with rage,
and whoever the poor devil, or devils,
may bo, they'll have'to fight."
"Yes, but who are they?" and Bren
nati «at up. "The whole gang must he
outside there; I counted fourteen.
Then, did you notice? Mendez -hud his
hands bound behind his back. He
couldn't even get up until those fel
lows untied him. That's what puzzles
me."
"It would take more than one to do
tlmt job. Maybe we'll find out now—
he'* pounding with a revolver butt on
the front door."
The.v listened breathlessly, hanging
recklessly over the rim of the chasm,
and staring at that strange scene be
low, but the man's words only reached
them broken and detached. Tliey cot
enough, however, to realize that lie de
manded the unbarring of the door, and
that he both threatened and promised
protection to whoever was within. It
was the language he employed that
aroused Westcott.
"Did you hear that?" he asked short
ly. "The man spoke Knglish. Who
ever'* In there doesn't understand
Spanish. Were any Americans down
there when you left, Moore?"
"Joe Sikes, and a fellow they call
'Shorty," but'they're both outside; that
was Joe who bound up ol' Mendez'
arm, an' Shorty was helpln' brlug up
the log."
The eyes of Brennan and Westeott
met understanding^.
"Yer don't suppose that girl—"
"Aye, but I do." and Westcott'a :
voice proved his conviction. "There's
nothing too nervy for her to tackle if it
needed to be done. T.tit she never I
could Imve corralled Mendez alone." |
"Tl.cn there must be another aloua j
with her—tlmt fellow yer tolil ine
nhout likely."
"Krcd Cavendish! By Jove, It would
be like lilm. Say, boys, I'm going down
and take a hand In this game."
The marshall gripped hlin.
"Not .vet, Jim I It uin't dark enough.
Wait a bit more an' I'm with yer, old
man. It'll be blacker than h—1
down there In fifteen minutes, an' then
we'll have some chance. They'd pot
us now sure afore we got as fur as
that cedar. What Is the gang up to
now. Matt?"
"There a goin' top bust In the door,"
and I.ioore craned his head farther out
over the edge in eagerness to see. "I
reckon they didn't git no answer that
pleased "em. See ol' Mendez hoppln'
about! I.ord! he's Thud 'nough to eat
null*. Thar comes the log—say, they
hit that some tlmuip; thar ain't no
wood that's goln' ter stand agin them
blows long. Do yer hear?"
They did; the dull reverberation as
the log butt crashed against the closed
door was plainly audible. Ouce, twice,
three times It struck, giving forth at
last the sharper crackling of splintered
wood.
The door crashed In; there was a
fusillade of shots, the spits of fire
cleaving the dusk, and throwing the
figures of the men into sudden bold
relief. The log wlelders sprang aside,
and the others leaped forward, yelling
wildly and plunging in through the
broken doorway. An Instant later three
muffled reports rang out from the In
terior—one deep and booming, the oth
ers sharper, more resonant—and the
Invaders tumbled backward Into the
open, seeking shelter. Westcott was
erect, Brennan on hands and knees.
"D u me!" ejaculated the latter,
his excitement conquering restraint.
"Whoever they are, Jim, they're glvin'
ol' Mendez his belly full. Did yer hear
them shots? There's sure two of 'em
in thar—ona's got a shotguu an' the
I other a revolver. I'll bet yer they
punctured some o' those lads. Lord I
They come out like rats."
West cot t's teeth gripped.
"I'm golni down." he said grimly, "If
I have to L'f) nlono "
