He slid into the water, It cane to his armpits. Breasting the-eureent, he waded to where the cloudburst load once closed the mouth of the Webster. No such barrier arose now. 'Unim- peded, the water swept by him. The theft was plain and certain. Wet and bedraggled, Esteban crawled out on the bank.

A second brought hit abreast of the. rocky ledge. ' Esteban's keen eyes located his en- emy as he crouched rifle at his shoul- der, on the outcropping. Eye"and finger acted at the same moment ho the young Basque. In -wild panic he emptied his gun. From the road across the creek came cries of men and the patter of rapidly driven horses. With savage energy Esteban drove his spurs home. His mount, the gray Bodine had broken for hien, leaped ahead in mile - devouring strides. Once he reached the road, he would be unbeatable. Blaze felt his arm. It burned as though he had been branded with an iron. He did not recognize Esteban; but when he saw him head for the road he guessed his intention. The way around by the Chimney was the only means of escape. Kildare got into his saddle and lined straight for ' it, Blaze reached the Chimney in ad- vance of the Basque by a full minute. ' He found the road, in front of the wall of rock in darkness. No ray of moonlight penetrated there. Slipping from his saddle, he waited. The tattoo of the fling hoofs grew . louder. and louder. Another instant, and the gray was upon him. The fence came almost to -the road. The boy on the gray's. back pulled him up, and wheeled him to swing down into the :valley south of the wire. Blaze jumped for the bridle, and with his uninjured arr_i jabbed his six-gun into Esteban's ribs. The gray shied, dragging Blaze into the moonlight. Recognition was sim- ultaneous with both.
