"In a week we _will find out where we're at. We all know Tom Brand. He's been on the square wish us every time. i'll run down and see him." - Tho little man stopped short. His eyes singled out Bodine: "Now, suppose you beat it out of here, big fellow. The going may be rough if you wait until this meeting breaks up." "Don't come baele, either!" same one yelled.

If you are willing to try it, raise your hands!" One by aone the hands went up, until Romero waved his followers to their horses. And as they moved though the velvety night the man whom they hoped to catch off his guard sipped coffee with a dozen of his riders in the dimly lighted dining -room at the Bull's Head.

And as they carried Esteban to the Bull's Head. Mercedes wondered why little Basilic sobbed as he tosse, in his tiny bed, Long desert utiles stretched between the Rancho Buena Vista and the spot where, Esteban fell. And yet, with an intuition rare even among the blind, the little lad knew that sentething terrible had hap- pened. Mercedes awake-11ed her brother and tried to comfort him. ""What' is the matter?". she implored. "Esteban!" he cried; "something bad has come, ntadrecit'a" The little pet name 'went unheard. Mercedes only knew her throat was dry with sudden agony. She had had her own misgivings about Esteban. Hastily throwing on a wrap, she started for Jose's room. The hallway made a sharp angle as it turned to lead into the• wing. where he slept. A small window opened on the front yard from the angle.. Without thinking, Mercedes stopped and looked down. Esteban's window was plainly visible; and hanging from it she saw the dangling reate. "Madre de ios!" she gasped; "the child is right:" - With swift feet, she ran for her father. Through the closed door she told him what she had discovered. j , n•r;t — )L�p A R Jose bade her go back to Basilic. He dressed hurriedly and followed her to the littlt fellow's bedside.

Cash scratched his head unconscious- ly- "Wish the Big Boss was here,'"' he said aloud. "Boys," he went on slow- ly, in a tone that said he made his decision as he went along, "we're going into the valley below our wire!" Halide stopped moving. Some one dropped a gun. With one accord they turned and regarded him expectant- ly. Cash caught the tension. "The fence is fifty yards inside our line," he went on.
