When crooks fall out, it's a long drop, You'd better drop out of sight," Buck tried to interrupt, but the boy waved him down with a wo_•d: "Git!" A movement in the crowd made it eloque'at. Night was et hand. The whippoor- wills were chanting their monotonous dirge as they winged across the whis- pering sage. Defeated, broken, tired with `their struggling, the weary Bas- ques were alone at last in the graying twilight with the fate that confronted them. They had came to the battle strong and determined, but now, as they turned to begin the long trap back to their homes, they moved with bowed heads. They were beaten. Blase and Melody naw them leave. But night fell, and in the darlsnese they fwnn$' back and up by the way Wire of Kings River. In twenty -foul'' f word Of the.:red trail they had left reached the Bull's Head.

Ile and Nee Perco had defied Esteban'•S order He was right, apparently, Bleze•had bad supposed Bodino would kick back once or twice before giving up; but four days had gone by, and he had not stirred from his retreat. The fallowing morning, however, there were aigns of life at the Web- ster ranch. Shortly afters daylight Buck and his men, were in the saddle and by noon they had rounded up thein stock, now about three hundred head. .An hour later they were in notion, pointed for Winnemucca. "They're heed'in' for the railroad, sure as you're born," Melody called t'o Blaze. "We can see them from here for an hour or more. When they reach tClio river, I'rn going to hike down there." Melody studied his friend's face be- fore he spoke again, "Every once in a while you pull a mysterious crack like that," he finally said. "Wliat you got.up your sleeve?"

Blaze .murmured in hie. drawling manner.' "Come on along, if you feel that way about it?' Thieir proposed pian received a jolt as they saw Bodine and his man sep- arate at the r•i4ier. Three of them headed back for the Webster. The &tone was so great that Blaze could not tell whether Buek was among those who had gone or not "One of us has got to stay here now, Melody. You wait; I'll go." By hard riding over a roundabout course, Kildare trailed the moving herd into town. Bodine and the )bandy-leg'ge'd man were not among those present. The steers were load- ed the next mcning, and the six rid- ers who had brought then in Mime- ' diately retdrned to the Webster. Evening found Blaze and Melody in their aid nesi above Bodine's ranch.
