So It seemed that the three must have had warning of their arrival, after all; and presumably were now herded together in the adjoining room, which looked out over the veranda roof, walting in fear and trembling for the assault that must soon comeand in Cart immediately did, But IL met.

Pour minutes and, the united efforts of four wen (includ. ing the bleary loafer of the barroom) were required to overcome its inert. But even when it was down, the room was found to De as empty 09 tho first.

Only the fingers of two hands grip ping the edge of the veranda roof showed the way the fugitives had Nowa: nud these vanished lustantly as the rooms wan Invaded. Fallowed a swift rush of hoofs down the dusty street, and EL chorus of blusphemy in the hotel hallway: for Judith had headed the concerted rush for the stuircage and contrived to block it for full half minute tending to by prestumble and twist her enkle. In spite of that alleged inJury, she never limped, and wasn't a yard behind the first who broke from the hotel behind to him the open, 1101 yet appreciably in vaulting to saddlo. Well up the road a cloud af smoky dust Niall obscured the shapes of three wire rode for their very lives. The purauit was of in twinkling and well bunched-Marropbat's mount leading by a nose, Judith second, Hopi Jim and Texas but little In tho rear.

And in the first rush they seemed gain; moment by moment they drew up on the flying cloud of dust; Judith heard an oath muttered beside her and saw Marrophat jerking a revolver from its holster. The weapon swept up and to AL level; but dis the hammer fell, Judith's horse caroused heavily agatnst the other, swinging.it halt a dozen feet aside, and deflecting the bullet hopelessly. The shock of collision was so great -that Marrophat kept his seat with difAlcully. He turned toward Judith a face livid with rage. Simultaneously, as if taking the shat as the signal for a fustllade, Judith saw Alan Jean back.

over his horse's rump and open ire. An instant later his companion, Barcus, imitated his example. In immediate consequence, Texas dropped reins, slumped forward over the pommel, wablled weakly in his saddle Tor a moment, then losing the stirrups, pitched headlong to the ground; while Hopi Tint's horse stopped short, precipitating his ridur overhead, and dropped dead. CHAPTER XXXVIII. The Upper Trail.

In the ten minutes', delay necessifated by this reverse, a. number of more or less innocent bystanders picked up the man Texas.and carried him off to breathe his last heuenth a roof; Hopi Jim picked himself up, his person tolerably, clear of brushed clouds of dust and profanity, and departed in search of mount to replace, the horse that had been shot under him; and Judith sal her horse calnly, potling sweet Insolence into the exasperated countennnce of Marrophat. Incidentally the fugitives geared round a bend in the road that led directly into the wild and barren neart of the Paluted hills, To the brief interval that elapsed before his return with Jim, Marrophat contrived to persuade the bandit that Judith had been, at least roctly, responsible for the catastrophe, with the upahot that, temporarily blinded to her fascinations by the glitter of nineteen thousand dollars in the near distance, Mr. Slade maintained hie distance and a deat ear to her blandishments. Tho only Information ad to their purpose that she was able extract from either man, when the pursuing party turned aside from the analn trail, some distance from Mega, was that Hopi Jim knew short cut tho upper trail, by which they through the range, via what he termed hoped to bo able to head the fugltives off hefore they could gain the desert on the far gide of the hills.

Only at long intervals did they draw rein to permit Hopi Jim to ot the lower trail that threaded the valley on the far side of the ridge, Toward noon he returned in haste from the last of these surveygscrambling recklessly down the mountrin-alde and throwing himself upon his horso with the advlec: "We've headed 'em-can make ft pow.

It was within on bour of midnight, a night bell-clear and bitter cold the heights, and bright with moonlight, when Alan's party made its last pauso and camped to rest. against the dawn, unconscious of the fact that, quarter of a mile above Lent, on the upper trail, il lonely woman poured when they paused and made her own camp on the edge of a sharp declivity.

One hasty look back and down into the valley evoked a grunt of satisfacClose from Hopi Jim. "Just in thine," he asseveraled. "Hero they come! Ten minutes more llis smile answered with unspeakable cruel signincance. "Texas will sleep better tonight when he knows how I've squared the deal for him!" the bandit declared. "What are yon going to do?" Judith demanded, reining her horse in beside Marrophat as the latter dismounted.

A gesturo drew her attention to 8 huge boulder poled insecurely on tho very Ily of the chasm, "We're going to tip that over on your friends, Miss Judith!" Marroplial replied, with a smack of relish in his voice. What more can you ask?" She answered only with an irrepressible gesture of horror. Marrophat's laugh followed her as she turned away. vision vaiuly, endeavoring to For some moments she strained penetrate the turbuleut currents of super healed air that filled the valley. Then sho made out indistinctly the faintly marked line of the lower trail; and tomediately she caught a glimpse of three small fIgures, mounted, toiling painfully toward the polnt where death awaited them like a bolt from the blue.

Hastily she glanced over aboulder: Hopi Jim and Marrophat, ignoring her, were straining. themselves against the boulder without budglug it an luch, for all its apparent nicety of poise, For AIL instant a wild hope flushed through her 'mind, but it was lumpedlately oreised when Hopl Jim stepped back and uttered a few words of which only and her cars. Kneeling beside the boulder he dug busily an instant, then lodged the etiek to uis patisfaction, attuched the fuse, und breaking off, edged on lite belly to the euge of the' cliff nud looked down, carcfully culculating the length of the fuse by the digiance of the party. down- below from the spot where tho rock must fall. But whlle he was so engaged and Marrophal aided hhn, all eager interest, Judith was taking advantage of their disregard of her.

Hurriedly unbuttoning her jacket, she whlpped a playing card from her pocket, a trey o' hearts, and with tbe stub of a pencil scribbled three words OR its face "Danger! Go bach!" Then finding a smull, flattish bit of rock, she bound card to it with hit of alring; and with one more backward glanco to make sure glue WAS not watched, approached the brink. Hopi Jim was meticulously shortening the fuse, Marrophat kneeling by his side. In the canyon below the three were within two minutes at the danger point. It was no trick at all to drop tha stone so that it fell within a dozen feet of the leading horseman. She saw him rein in guddenly, dismount, cast a look aloft, then dismount and pick up the warning.

As the others joined him, ho detached card and bowed IL to them. At the same time Hopi Jim and Marrophat jumped up and ran back, each seizing and holding his horso by noac and bridle.
