Brennan scrambled to his feet i
"Just a second, Jlui, an' I'm with I
yer. Moore, fret np yere. Now, what1
do yer say? Can we count you in on
this shindig?"
"Sure; didn't I just tell yon so?"
Brennan wheeled about.
"Give him his mm, Jim, and the
belt." he commanded hrtetly. "I don't
send no man Into a fracas IlLe this uti

an' take It slow. Both of yer ready?" i
Not until his dying day will Westcott [
ever forget the moment he hung dan-|

Ing Moore who had disappeared, and
felt gingerly In the darkness for the J
narrow rock ledge below.
At best they could only creep, feel-!

clinging desperately to every projec-1

est movement until either hand or foot
found solid support. M»i>re led his
boyish recklessness and knowledge of
the way giving him an advantage. |
Westcott followed, keeping as close as
possible, endeavoring to shape his own j
I efforts in accordance with the dimly 1
outlined form below; while Brennan.
short-legged and stout, probably had j
the hardest task of ail in bringing up ,
the rear.
There was nothing hut intense t>iacK
ness down there—:i hideous chasm of
l death clutching at them: the houses. I
the men. the whole valley was com
pletely swallowed in the night. Twice
WVstcott had to let go entirely, trtist

| once he traveled a yard, or more, dan
gling on his hands over the abyss, his j
feet feeling for the support beyond: I
and several times he pal wed to assist |
the shorter-leered marshal down to a )
lower level. Their progress was that

j they played with death.
Fifty feet below. Just as Jloore
rounded the dead eedar. the suns be
gan again, the spits of red flame light
Ing up the outlines of the cabin, and
I the dark figures of men. It was n<
| though they looked dow n Into the pit j
watching the brewing of some "port of ;
demons—the movements below them
' weird, grotesque—rendered horrible by
those Stldden glares of light. Tills fir ;
j ing was all from without, and was tin- j
answered: no boom of shotgun replied. I
no muffled crack of revolver. Yet it
[ must have been for a purpose, for the j
men crouching against the cliff, their
| faces showing ghastly In the flashes of
| powder, were able to perceive a mass
| Itig of figures below. Then the shots J
I ceased, and the butt of the great log j
| crashed against something with the j
l force of a catapult, anil a yell rolled
j up rhrongh the night.
1 At last Moore stopped, ami waited
I until Wostcot f was near enough for
him to whisper In the other's ear.
I "There's a drop yere. 'bout ten or
j twelve feet. I reckon; an' then just a
I slope to ther bottom. T'on't make no
I more no!s>- then yer have to, an' stive
me a chance ter git out of tber way
afore yer let go."
Westcott passed tf ? word back
across his shoulder to Rrennan. who
was panting heavily, and winched, as
best he could on hands :md knees,
while Moore lowered himself at arm's
length over the narrow rock ledge. Th'
hoy h>osened his grip. hut landed nl

I over, could see nothing: there was l.e- |

j Silently he also dropped and his feet
struck earth, sloping rapidly down

j Moore waited for them, the ulght so

cott's outstretched hand touched Uio
fellow before he was assured of his
presence.
i The Mexicans were still; whatever
1 deviltry they were up to, it was being
j carried on now In silence; the only
so md was a muffled scraning. Rren
nau yet struggled for breath, but was
I eager for action. He shoved his head
forward. listening.
j "What do yer make o* that noise?" 1
1 he asked, his words scarcely audible.
1 "I heerd It afore yer coiue up," re
j turned Moore. '"Tain't nuthln' regu

J sound's their boots scaling the wall."
; "Ever been Inside?"
| "Wunst, ter take some papers ter I

"Well, what's It like? For God's
sake speak up—there's goin' ter be

"Thar's two rooms, ther outside door
an' winder are in the front one, which
Is the biggest. The other is whar
Mendez sleeps, an' thar's a door be
tween 'em."
"No windows in the rear room?"
"None I ever see."
"And just the one door; what sort I

"J-ist plain log. I reckon." }

an 'it m Mexes liave had all they wan'

"Pact; o' the hunk house. Wiiar do

"The front o' Mendez' enhln." said
tin' marshal shortly. "Better take the

take those fellows In the rear iifure
they know what's happening." lie
i lire'-led grimly. "We've sure played
In link so far. hoys; go easy now. and
draw yer auns."
They were half-wny alone the side
wall when the tirinir began again—hut
It was not the Mexicans this time who
began It. The shotgun burked; there
was the sound of a falling body; two
revolver shots and then the sharp pins
of n Winchester. Brennan leaped past
ilie hoy ahead, and rounded the cor
ner. A Mexican stood directly in front
of the shattered door peeilng in. a ri
fle yet smoking In his bunds. With
one swift hlow of a revolver butt the
marshal dropped him In his tracks, the
fellow rolling off the steps onto the
ground. With outstretched hands he
stopped the others, holding them hack
out of any possible view from wlfhln.
"Qniek now, before thnt bunch In
side cots wise to what's up. We've pot
'em cornered. Ton. Matt, strip •the
jacket off that Mex, an' pet his hat;
hunch 'em up together, and set a match
to 'em. That's the stuff! Now. the
minute they blaze throw 'em In through
that doorway. Come on, Westcott. be
ready to Jump."
The hat was straw, and the bundle
nf blazing material landed nlmost in
the center of the floor, lighting up the
whole interior. Alnw st before It
struck, the three men. revolvers gleam
ing In their h inds, had leaped across
the shattered door, and confronted the
startled band huddled in one corner.
Brennan wasted 110 time, his eyes
sweeping over the array of faces, re
vealed by the blr.:.' of Arc en the floor.
"Hand* up. my beauti •«—evcy
mother's son or yer. Yes, I mean yon.

time about It: I'm the caller for this

them rifles on the floor—gently,
friends, gently. Matt, frisk 'om and
see what other weapons thpy earry.
Ever see nicer hunch o' lamhs, Jim?"
his lips smiling. hut with an ugly look
to his (.'learning teeth, and steady eyes.
"Why, they'd eat outer yer hand.
Which one of yer Is Mendez?"
"He dead, senor." one fellow man
aged to nn.wer In broken English.
"That heem lip <!ar."
"Well, that's some comfort," but
without glancing about. "Now kick
the cutis over this way. Matt, and
touch a match to the lamp on that
shelf yonder; and, Jim, perhaps you
better stamp cut the fire; we'll not
need It auy more. Great Scott! Wbat'a
this?"
It was Miss Donovan, her dress torn,
her hair disheveled, a revolver still
clasped In her hand, half leveled as
though she yet doubted her realization
of what had occurred. She emerged
from the blackness of the rear room,
advanced a step and stood there hesl
:atiuLr her wldo-ooen ej'es cuzinir about
In bewilderment on the strange scene
revealed by the glow of the lamp. That
searching, pathetic glance swept from
face to face about the motionless cir
cle—the cowed Mexican prisoners with
uplifted hands backed against the
wall; the three dead bodies huddled'on
the floor: Moore, with the slowly ex
piring match yet smoking In his fin
gers; the little marshal, erect, a re
volver poised in either hand, his face
set and stern. Then she saw West
cott. ami her whole expression changed.
An Instant their eyes met; then the
revolver fell to the floor unnoticed, and
the girl sprung toward him, both hands
outstretched.
"You!" she cried, utterly giving way,
forgetful of nil else except the sense of
relief the recognition brought her.
•'Yen! Oh! Now I know It Is all right I
I was so sure you would come."
He caught the extended hands eager
ly, drawing her close, and looking
straight down Into the depths of her
uplifted eyes. To him, at that moment,
there was no one else In the room, no
one else iu the wide, wide world.
"You knew I would come?" he
echoed. "You believed that much In
me?"
"Yes; I have never had a doubt.
But," her lips quivered, and there were
tenrs glistening In the uplifted eyes,
"you came too late for him."
"l"or lilin! The man who was with
you, you mean? IIa9 he been shot?"
She bent her head, the lips refusing
to answer.
"Who was he?"
"Mr. Cavendish—oh!"
It was n cry of complete reaction;
the room reeled about her and she
would have fallen headlong had not
Westcott clasped the slender form
closely In his nrtns. An Instant he
stood there gazing down Into her face.
Then he turned toward Brennan.
"Leave us alone. Dan," he said sim
ply. "(let that gang of blacklegs out
of hero."
