"Danged If I know," he said drawl
ingly. "Maybe it does, and maybe
again it don't. I was sorter, puttin'
this an' that together. I never got hold
ov any proof, but Lacy has shipped a
pile o' cattle out o' Villa Real, al
though why he should ever drive his
cows there across the desert Instead
o' shippln' theiu here In Haskell or
Taylorvllle. I never could understand.
That's the principal reason I've got for
thinkin' he an' Mendez are in cahoots,
an' If they be. then the Mexican must
have some kind o' a camp out there
In the sund whar he hides between
raids; though, damn If 1 Know wliar it
can be." He paused reflectively. "It'll
he like hunting a needle in the haystack,
Jim. but I reckon you an' I'll have to
get out that way. an' we might have
luck enough to stumble onto the old
devfL"
Westcott changed his position. In
advertently bringing his head above
the protection of the rock. Iustantiy
there was a sharp report, and a speed
ing bullet grazed his hair, flattening
out against the stone. The rapidity
with which he ducked caused the mar
shal to laugh.
"Not hurt, are you? No. That was
a rifle; Mike Isn't such a bad shot with
that weapon. He's over there behind
that tree—see the smoke? If the cuss
pokes his nead out. I'll try the virtue
of this 45; It ought to carry that far.
Hah! there he Is; I inade the bark fly,
anyway."
The afternoon wore away slowly,
tlie two men realizing more and more
dearly the nature of the siege. Their
only safety lay In the protection of
the rocks, as they were now entirely
surrounded, and lied upon from
either bank the moment either raised
1 head. Xo attempt-was made, how
ever. to assault their position, nor did
they often return the fire, desiring to
preserve for future ust; their small
■supply of ammunition. Brennan re
mained watchful, but silent, brooding
iver his plans for the night, hut West
rot t became overpowered bv fatigue
and slept quietly for several hours. I
The sun was already sinking behind i
the range of mountains when he finally
aroused himself, and sat up. Brennan
greeted him with a good-natured grin.
"Well, do you feel better. Jim?" he
asked pleasantly. "Thought I'd let you
sleep as long as I could, for we've got
some Job ahead of us. Sorry thar ain't
no breakfast waltln'. fer I wouldn't ob
ject ter a bit o" ham hone myself. 1
reckon if Lacy coops me up much long
er he's liable ter win his bet: I'm
plumb *ear starved out already."
"I'm afraid they've got us. Dan."
••oh, I don't know; leastwise 1 ain't
put up no white flag yet. You're
game fer a try at gettin' out o' yere.
ain't yer. old man? I've sorter been
reckonia' on yer."
"I'll take any chance there is.' re
turned Westcott heartily, staring into
the other's face, "nave you some
plan?"
"Maybe 'tain't that exactly, but I've
been doin' a powerful lot o' thinkin'
since you was asleep. Jim. an' I reckon
we might beat these fellers with a
fair show o' luck. This is how I figure
It out* Thar won t be no attack:
that's a cinch. Laey knows we can
shoot, an' he also knows we're
marooned yere without food. The eas
iest thing is ter starve us out."
"But there are good men In this
camp, law-abiding men." Interrupted
the miner. "Won't they take a hand?"
"Maybe they might If I was free ter
get 'em together; but I ain't. Most o'
'em are out in the mines, anyway;
they don't know which party is right
in this rumpus, an' they ain't got no
leader. Lacy runs the town, an' he's
got a big gang o' toughs behind him.
There ain't nobody wants to buck up
against his game. Of course the boys
might get mad after a while, hut I
reckon we'd be starved plumb ter
death long afore that happened. An*
that ain't the worst uv it. Jim—the
sheriff is Lacy's man. I wouldn't never
dare turn you over ter him—not by
a jugful."
"Then we are blocked at every
turn."
"We sure a-e, unless we can dig out
ourselves." gravely. "My notion Is to
get a fair start, drift out Into Sho
shone, whar we'll leave no trail, $1'
then hit for over the line."
"On footr
"II 1. no! I ain't no such walfeei
as all that. Come over yew, keep yet
head down; no'.v look out between
these two rocks. Do yer see them
cow-ponie>* hitched ter the rack along
side o' the Ked Dog? Well, they've
been thar for a matter o' three hours.
I reckon, an' th;lr riders ain't liable
ter leave as long as thar's any ex
citement in town. They're XL men,
and mostly drunk by this time. It's
my aim ter get a leg over one o' them,
animals. Here's my scheme, an' 1
reckQQ It'll work. Nmaraliy Lucy win J
think we'll try to get away—matte a
break fer it in the dark. He'll have
both them banks guarded, an' ther fel
fers will have orders ter shoot. He'd
rather have 5s dead than alive. But,
to my notion, he won't expect us ter
try any getaway before midnight.
Anyhow, that's how I'd figure If I was
in his place. But my Idea Is to pull
one off 011 him, an' start the minute
It gets dark enough so them lads can't
see what's go'n' on out yere."
"We'll fight our way through?"
"Not a tight, m.v son; we'll make
it so softly that not a son-of-a-gun will
ever know how It happened. When
they wake up we'll be twenty miles out
in the desert, an* stDl a goin'. Thar's a
big log clinging ter the upper end o'
th' rock. I saw It when I fust come
over; an' 'bout an hour ago 1 crept
baek through that gully an' took a
good look. A shove will send it flnatln".
An' with a good pair o' legs to steer
with, thar ain't nuthln' to stop It this
side the curve, an' I don't calculate
any o' the rifle brigade win be down as
fur as that. It sounds blame good ter
me, Jim; what d'ye say?"
Westcott's hand went out. and the
fingers of the two men clasped silent
ly. There was no need foe more
speech; they understood each other.
The night closed down swiftly, as It
does In the West, the purple of the
lillls becoming black as though by
some magic. There was a heavy
cloud hanging In the Western sky, con
stantly sweeping higher In pledge of
a dark night. The banks of the stream
became obscured, aud finally vanished
altogether: while the water ceased to
glimmer and turned to an inky black
ness. Lights twinkled in the distant
shacks, and the front of the Red Dog
burst into illumination. Brennan
chuckled, aud pointed his finger at
the glare.

all this," he whispered hoarsely. "The
boys «re coin' ter be dry, an' he'll sell
Vm all they war.t—wouldn't mind if I
had some myself. Is it dark enough,
mate?"
"The sooner the better!"
"That's ray ticket. Come on then,
but don't uinke a sound; them iads are
more liable to hear than they are to
see us. Let me go first."
The log was at the oti.er end of the
little Island, but there was a consider
able rift In the wk surface, not deep,
but of sufficient width to permit the
passage of a body. The Jagged "stone
made the way rough in the dark, and
Westcott found himself at the upper
extremity, gashed and bruised by the
contact
Rrennnn lowered himself into the
water, assisted in the downward climb
by soi^' low, tough bushes whose ten
drils clung tenaciously to the smooth
rock. Westcott followed silently, and
found footlnc in about three feet of
water, where It swirled around the
base of the island. Brennan put his
lips close to his companion's ear.
"Got yer cartridges tied up? That's
all right; hand 'era over. Xou hang
on to the outside, an' I'll push off. If
yer have ter paddle ter keep In the
current, don't let yer hands er fee t
come to the surface—understand?"
"Certainly."
"All right then; are you all set?
Holy smoke, this is going to be some
yacht ride."
The lug did not eveq grate as it loos
ened Its slight hold on the rock, and
began the voyage down-stream. The
current was swift enough to bear
it and lis burden free from the island,
although it moved slowly and noise
lessly on its way. The two men deep
ly submerged on either side, with heaiis
held riiri i against the wet. bnrk, were
indistinguishable. Out from the deep
er shmiow, Rrennan gently controlled
the unwieldy affair, and-keeping it as
nearly as possible to the Center, by the
noiseless movement of a hand under
water. No alnrin greeted Its progress,
aud at last, confident, that they were al
ready safely below the extent of the
guard line, the two men, clinging to its
wet sides, ventured to kick out quietly,
and thus hasten its progress. It came
ashore at the extreme end of the curve,
and, after a moment of Intent listen
ing, the voyagers erept up the sand,
and in whispers discussed the next ef
fort of their escape. The belts were
unstrapped from about the log. reload-,
ed with cartridges, nnd buckled ardtond
dripping waists, before they clambered
cautiously up the low bank. The road
was Just beyond, but between them
and it arose the almost shapeless form
of a small house, a mere darker
shadow In the gloom of the night.
"Where are we?" questioned West
cott.
"Just back ot old Beecher's shack.
Ke's trucking down Benson way. Out is
liable to have souie grub stored inside.
I was countin' on this for our com*
•>>Lssafv deoar'ment. Come on. Jim:

Low Bank.
time Js money Just now."
The door was unlocked, and In less
than ten minutes they emerged once
more Into the open bearing their spoils
—Wescott, a slab of bacon and a small
frying pan; Brenuan a paper sack of
corumeal, with a couple of specimens
of canned goods. Ue had also resur
rected a gunny sack somewhere, la
which the things were carefully
wrapped, and made secure for trans
portation.
"Didn't feel no terbaeco, did yer,
Jim?" the marshal questioned solic
itously. "I reckon not, though; ol*
Beecher never would leave nuthin'
like that lyln' round. Well, Lord! we
ought ter be thankful fer what we've
got. Now, if we can only get away
with them hosses."
They wormed their way forward to
the edge of the road through a fringe
of bushes. Westcott laden with the bun
dle. Except for the sound of distant
voices and an occasional loud laugh,
the night was still. They could almost
hear their own breathing, and the
crackle of a dry twig underfoot
sounded to strained nerves,like the
report of a gun. Crouching at the
edge of the road they could see
fairly well what was before them, as
revealed by the lights shining forth
though the dingy windows of the
saloon. A hum of voices echoed out
into the night, but the platform In
front of the door was deserted. Oc
casionally some wanderer either en
tered or departed, merging Into the
crowd within or disappearing through
the darkness without. To the left of
the building, largely within its shadow,
stretched the hitch rail to which were
fastened fully a dozen cow-ponies, most
of them revealed only by their restless
movements, although the" few nearest
tho door were plainly enough visible
in the reflection of light Brennan's
hand closed heavily on tho arm of the
other.
"we'll pu'K oat me MVU critters mr- i
thest from the light," he muttered,
"an' trust tor luck. We'll have to lead
'era a ways afore we mount Shall we
tr;- It now?"
"The sooner the better."
"That's me. Blamed if I thought I'd
be a hoss thief, hut when a feller as
sociates with Bill Lacy there's no
knowln' what he will come to. We
better try the other side o' the road.
Jim."
They were in the flicker of light for
scarcely an instant, merely two dart
ing sluidows, vanishing once more
swiftly and silently Into the gloom.
Nor were they much longer in releas
ing the two cow-ponies. Westcott tied
Ills bundle to the cantle of the saddle
and then, bridle reins In hand, the do
cile animals following their new mas
ters without resistance, the men led
them over the smooth turf well back
from the range of light. They were a
quarter of a mile from the Red Dog
before Brennan, slightly In advance,
ventured to enter the road.
•'It's safe enough now, Jim, an' we
don't wanter lose no time. Ever
crossed ShoshoDe?"
"No."
"Well, It's a little bit o' h—1 after
sunnp, an' we'll have a twenty-mile
ride before we strike water. We'll
start slow."
They swung Into saddle, the road be
fore them a mere Mack ribbon revealed
only by the gleam of a few far
off stars peering through rifts In the
clouds. Brennan rode slightly in ad
vance, trusting his mount largely to
pick out the way, yet leaning forward
eagerly scanning every shadow and
listening for the slightest warning
There was some movement to the left,
where the hotel trail led down the
bank, and instantly both men drew
up their ponies and remained intent
and rigid. Rrennan's hand rested on
the butt of his revolver, but for the
moment neither could determine what
•viis moving in the Intense blackness of
i lie hillside. Then something spectral
advanced into the starlight of the road
and confronted them.
"Is that you, Mr. Cassidy?" asked a
woman's voice softfy.
