"No firing!" the voice was Mendez', i
rising sharply above the other sounds. I
"I don't want the girl shot, you fools, j
Take that other log around to the |
window. They'll surrender fast j
enough once we're Inside. Now. an- j
other one. Here, five' of you swing
her!"
With a crash the remaining wood
gave way, the end of the log. used as ,
a battering ram, projecting Into the '
room. Over the shattered door, now j
held only by one bent hinge, a half- j
dozen forms swarmed Inward, tha ,
quick rush blocking their passage.
Cavendish pulled trigger, the deep i
boom of his shotgun echoed Instantly j
by the sharper report of the girl's re
volver. She fired twice before the '
swirling smoke obstructed the view, !
conscious only that one man had j
leaped straight Into the a'r and an
other hail sprawled forward on hands
and knees. Cavendish pushed home a
fresh cartridge and the smoke cloud
lifted just euough to permit them to
perceive the farther doorway. A Mex
ican lay curled irj> in the center of the
floor, his gun a dozen feet away; an
other hung dangling across an over
turned stool, but the opening was va
cant. Just outside a fellow, wounded,
was dragging himself opt of range.
"Great Scottexclaimed Cavendish,
excitedly. "Every shot counted. Here,
load up quick. They'll try the window
next. Get down!"
The warning was not an Instant too
soon, the hasty volley largely thud
diug harmlessly into the thick mat
tress, although a bullet or two sang
past and found billets in the logs be
hind. Cavendish returned the fire, j
shooting blindly into the smoke, but j
the girl only lifted her head, staring
intently Into the smother, until the
cloud floated away through the door.
The attackers had again vanished, all
semblance of them, ex ept those two
motionless bodies.
"Looks as though they had enough
of It." he saiil grimly, "anfl have de
cided to starve us out."
"Oh. do you think so? I heard a
noise then."
He heard it also, his glance return
ing instantly to the front, his form
stiffening into preparation, (•'■•r a mo

ment neither could determine the
meaning of the sounds. Then tie cocked
his gun. tin- sharp click echoing almost
loudly in the stillness.
"Trying the window this time," he
murmured. "Do you hear that? Be
ready."
The two knelt motionless, peering
over the edge of the bed into the dim
twilight, seeing nothing, each with lin
ger on trigger—tense, expectant. Then, ■
without warning, the flying figure of a
man leaped across the doorwny Into
the security of the opposite wall. It
was done so quickly neither fired, but
C'avend|sh licked his parched lips with
a dry tongue.
"I'll get the next one who tries that
trick," he muttered. "It will be easier
than partridge shooting."
A minute—two passed, every nerva
on edge; then a second Hying form,
almost a blur in the gathering gloomy
snot across the narrow opening. The
shotgun spoke, and the wildly leaping
figure seemed-to crumble to the floor—
Its lower half had reached shelter, but
head and shoulders lay exposed, re- ,
veallng gray hair and a white mus
tache. Cavendish sprang erect, all
caution forgotten. >
"It's Mender.." he /Tied. "I got tho

back. his body striking the girl, and
crushing her to the floor beside him.
There was no cry. no groan of agony,
yet he lay there motionless. She crept
across and bent over him; almost dumb
with fear.
t'You—yon are shot?" she made her
self speak.
"Yes; they've pot me," the utterance
of the words a struggle. "It's here In
the chest; I—I don't know how bad;
perhaps If you tear open my shirt,
you—you might stop the blood."
She could see nothing, not even the
man's face, yet. her fingers rent the
shirt asunder and searched for the
wound. It was not bleeding greatly,
and she had no water, but not knowing
what else to do, she tore a strip from
her skirt and bound It hastily. He
never moved, or spoke,_and she bent
her head closer. The wounded man
had lost consciousness.
Alone, In the dark, she erept on her
knees to her place behind the barri
cade. Iler hand touched the empty
gun he.had dropped, and she reloaded
It slowly, only halt' comprehending Its
mechanism. The revolver, every cham
ber filled, rested on the upturned edge
of the bed; her lips were firmly
pressed together. Quietly she pushed
forward the barrel of the shotgun, and
waited.
CHAPTER XIII.
A Needle In a Haystack.
The little marshal of Haskell had
the reputation of being as quick of wit
us of trigger linger. Startled as he was
by that sudden apparition appearing
before them In the dark road, and at
being addressed by a woman's voice,
the mention of the name Cassndy gave
him an instant clue. There was but
one Onssady in camp, and that Indi
vidual's reputation was scarcely of n
kind to recommend hltn In the eyes of
the law. If any woman sought that I
fellow in this out-of-the-way spot. It j
was surely for no good purpose. Bren
nan leaned forward over his saddle
horn, lowering his voice confidentially,
and managing to achieve a highly j
meritorious brogue.
"Sure, Oi'm Cassady," he admitted
I'rouchily. "How iver come yer ter
guess th"t?"
"You were ^expecting to meet Mr.
Enright. weren't you? That was what
Bill Lacy told you. He was to ex- 1
plain to you just what you were to j
do."
Brennan mumbled something indis
tinctly, now thoroughly aroused to
the situation.
"Well. .Mr. Enright couldn't come,
and I-acy Is over across the creek yet,
hunting down Ned Beaton's murderer.
I am Hiss I.a Rue," she hurried on. J
almost breathlessly, "and I've brought
you Lucy's note, which you are to give
to that Mexican—l'ascual Mendez.
You understand? You are to give it
to him. and no one else. Lacy said
you could kill your horse, if neces
sary. but the note must be there by
daylight tomorrow. Here—take it."
Brennan thrust it into an inner
pocket, and cleared his throat. There
was 110 small risk in askiug questions,
yet, Tinless he learned more, this in
formation might prove utterly use
less. The note to Mendez meant little
until he discovered where that bandit
was to be found.
"Sliure now, miss," he said insinuat
ingly. "Mr. Lacy juust hev' sint more
instructions 'long with ye then them.
All ther word thet Iver come ter me
wus ter saddle oop, ride down here
an' mate this man Enright. I don't
aven know fer shure whar 0l* Mendez
is—likely ""nough he be in Mexico." j
"In Mexico!" indignantly. "Of j
course not. Lucy said you knew the j
trail. It's a place they call 'Sunken
valley'—out the.re somewhere," and
Brennan could barely distinguish the j
movement of her arm desertward.
"It's across that sand flat."
"Shoshone?"
"Yes; I couldn't remember the
name. That's all I know ahout it,
only Lacy said you'd been there be
fore."
"Shure, miss." assured the marshal
softly, clearly realizing that he had
already gone the limit, and that any
further questioning must lead inevit
ably to trouble. "If it is Sunken val
ley I'm ter ride ter. thet's alsy."
"Then it's good night."
She vanished up the side trail, as
though the wind had blown au&iy a
shadow. Brennan gathered up his
reins, straightening his body in the
saddle. He glanced back toward the
dim shade of his companion, ehuck
ling.

BIG GUNS MUST BE MOBILE
Otherwise in Future Wars They Will
Be Quickly Wiped Out If "Spot
ted" From Above.
While the war was In progress new
military inventions and Improvements
weie for obvious reasons kept secret
In America. Now, however, they are
beginning to leak out.
For example, there Is a new 14-In eh
gun, which is called "pride of the
army." All big gtms In future will
be made mobile (on rails or drawn by
pnsollne tractors), because otherwise
they would invite their own destruc
tion. With the help of "spotting" alr>
planes they might bo quickly wiped
out.
The guns which now defend Amen
lean seaooast forts are stationary, and
the big ones of no larger caliber tha*
12 Inches. They are to be replace^
by 14-inch rides on mobile mounts, an<(
It is manifest the plan's of the fortifl.
cations will have to be altered.
Newest American battleships carrj
14-inch guns, which have been deemed
the most effective weapons of their
type in the world. Some of them did
duty on land In France toward the
end of the war. But this new rifle (a
product of army ordnance experts1
best Ingenuity) Is superior In several
respects. It will throw a shell 35
unles.
His Ambition.
Ton-yenr-old Ttol made his first long
visit to the country. He was. mnch
impressed with the returns of farming,
but not with the work which brought
the returns. He studied the occupa
tion of farming diligently In order to
see what part of It was easiest. And
one day he discovered what. he
thought was. . . v
~ Then he went to his mother. "I al
ways said that I would be a farmer
when I grow up," he told her, "but I
guess I won't be a real farmer. I
guess m be a hog sloppgr," — ,
