She had come, too! In some way she had got rid of his man, Melody. His voice rose to a roar as he opened his mouth to ..peak. "So you're getting ready to skip with Bodine, eh? That's your little elan, is it? You forget it! He's clone all the traveling he's going to do. You'll go with me when I leave here, Aw-w-h! Who did chat?" He pointed to Shorty. "She did!" Bodine cried, wiping the blood from his scratched face. "Pulled laughed dovish ay, pretending not to undoretand the inn'•lerda. "You're all cut up about your dam, ain't yah " The laugh died out of Bodine's voice. "7:rvi'll never rebuild that little toy, eitheri.jtot if you ,jug me 1" It was Aeklin's tarn to smile. "Wo clean forgot about your in-, junction when we built it, didn't we?" he asked sarcastically, "Nol" Buck shook his head. "You forget how the water was tricked out of the Rebel eo that you could build your dant! When I tellmy r.tory to a jury, you'll go into eclipse,,' "The jury that's going to hear your ease will use a rope! You get that, Bodine. By the time the coroner comes to get this thing on the floor, thebuz- zatds will be picking your bones,. There won't be anybody hot me to say how this man got shot, And if I say that you did it the matter will be ended. You are going to swing!" Buck east an anxious, calculating eye at the windiws. The one athis back was open. It was near enough, too. A flying leap, and he could make it, In the murky grayness of early dawn he could steal away. Acklin was looking at his watch. It was an op- portunity, a :hence! Mercedes was watching Bodine. She saw his fingers clench, his muscles knot, She divined his intentio: Her mouth opened in amazement. Bodine crouched then for the spring that was to take him to safety; but the patter of horses outside the win- dow at which he was aiming stopped him short, Aeklin smiled at him pity: ingly, He had heard also. Kildere had watched Aeklin and Bodine. He blessed every minute that passed without bringing the rank and file of the- Double A to thwart him. That the Big Boss had come there single-handed revealed Acklin in a new light. Blaze had always found him cautious, tactful, unemotional. His coming here was madness, He could not have known that Bodine was alone. Or had he figured that the man was in hiding; that the house on Webster Creek would be deserted? He had heard the bustle of ap- proaching men a long minute before Buck or Aeklin became aware of their noise, There were five or six in the my gun out and got him from the door there!" "Is that right?" Acklin bellowed. Mercedes covered her face with her hands. He could hear her sob as she turned away. It was answer enough for him. "They'll take you to jail for this," he grumbled. He stopped to mutter to himself. Then: "\o, they won't either! I'll rix that!" - lie mere erose to Bodine. Buck's serve had returned in a measure. "leu wcr t.ke her away from me, A - t n not that way," he cut in be€ole tee Big Boss ccakl speak. But Acklin geed in his face for his pains. • "You have your little joke, Bodine," o warned, "Your time's short enough." Buck's face paled a trifle at the studied ease with which the man be- fore him tittered this statement. "What you hintin' at non 2" he de- manded. "When my men get here you'll find out. You didn't think you could •get away with what yoa pulled on me to-. night, did you? Ysu bossed this deal" Bodine's lips twitched uneasily. Had that fool kid given him away? His poker eyes searched Acklin's face for some sign of bluffing, but ha found no- thing to reassure hint, "You air.' goin' to -have me arrest- ed on that bosco's word, are you," he asked. "No. We ain't g:lrg to arrest you, Bodine." The directness this statement blanched the big fell6Aw's face. They were going to do without the law; that was what Acklin was saying! The blood alcng Bueke: spine grew cold for a brief second. But his concern passed. He had been in dire straits before and lived through. He sum- moned a glen to his mouth now and "Here are the rest of the boys. We'll get moving!" The Big Boss raised his voice. "Somebody bring in .I rope," lis cried. "Hurry up!" Blaze heard the men dismounting. There were not less •than 25 in the crowd. There wouldn't be any delay now. This affair was going through to its sordid finish, Bodine's face was ghastly. Without knowing why he did it: Kildare walked past him into the kitchen. There seemed to be some delay out- side. Ile. could hear a murmur of voices. Bodice's rifle stood in the cor- ner. Blaze picked it up and threw a shell into the barrel,. In •the past he had pondered at some length over acquiring this gun. He saw that it was the same calibre as Acklin's. That effectually snapped the flimsy thread of circumstantial evidence by which he had expected to trap Jose's murderer, He told himself now that he should not have expected any other end to such reasoning. At least he still had the Indian charm. The others started moving into the kitchen. Brother Jones had a gun at Bodine's back. Acklin sang oat again for those outside to hurry up. In ane ewer to ills second call the door was flung open. Blaze could hardly see for joy. The man who had just entered was Tuscarora! "Sorry I had to keep you waiting," the little fellow cried. "I been hurry - in' to beat all get out!" "What're you doing here?" Acklin shouted. Kent smiled faintly. "You might enlighten me, too, in that direction. I got the sheriff and some twenty deputies outside, if that's any news to you:" CHAPTER XXXIV. Their teeth are at a tough- ness which makesthemhold their keen cutting edge uc,- , • der every usage.

Hon, Mrs. Chapman, party. He recognized Brother Jones' cackling voice. A second later the old man and his companions were tramp- ing into the kitchen. • Blaze recognized Chet and Patter- son bringing up the rear. They were all heavily armed. Brother Jones was already at the door of the room in which Aeklin had cornered Bodine. The others were at his heels. Kildare sprang into action. He placed his hands on the sill and vault- ed into the kitchen. When the Big Boss caught sight of hint he believed the man had come in with the others. "Here he is!" the owner of the Double A called out, pointing at Bo- dine. "My Gawd! Who done that?" Brother Jones exclaimed, catching sight of the body in the corner. The coming of these men tufted Buck's face a sickly hue. He actually stammered when he said: "She d -d -did it!" Mercedes heart leapt as she saw Kildare. He made no attempt to go to her. The girl's half -raised hand fell limply to her side. She dimly realized that the mans eyes were try- ing to convey same message to her. She saw him tap his lips significantly. And then Acklin was saying: "You boys forget that remark of his. He's lying. There were only three of us here, and—" "You're not counting me, I guess." The crowd wheeled on Kildare. "Why, you just came in, now—with Jones, didn't you?"' Acklin roared. Blaze shook his head. "No, I've been here for almost half an hour, Bodine didn't do any shoot- ing." Life flower back into Buck's veins immediately. This was help from an unexpected source. "That'll stop your little game, Ack- lin," he cried. The Big Boss paid ave attention to Bodine's words. His eyes were on Blaze. In tense tones he said to him: "You ain't saying who did it, Kil- dare, But you and I know. It means a trial—jail• We don't want that. If you'll pass me your word, we'll string up this skunk fo: blowing out the dam and killing this man, and let it "go at that."

THE SHERIFF ARRIVES. In the silence that followed, Land squeezed past the little man in the doorway. He was broadshouldered, gi- gantic; a sheriff of bygone days. In the crook of his arm he carried a time- worn army Winchester that he had taken away from a renegade Flute. "Well, Acklin?" he asked easily. "You're making yourself a lot of trouble butting in here, Land." "Don't you go worryin' about me. I'll take care of myself." He turned to Kent: "Are your friends here, Joe?" "How about that, Blaze?" Tuscarora demanded.. "Is the Senorita and her brother here?" "They're in the next room." Mereads had heard Kent's question. She left the window against wit ah she had been leaning and came to the door between the rooms.

Children's Books One of the most significant develop- - menta in the publishing business, within recent years, has been the tremendous improvement inthe genii- ty and the greatly increased output of children's books. A most praiseworthy example of the sort of literature that children ougbt to have at their disposal has fust been sent to me by "The Book House for Children Limited" of Toronto. This is a series of six beautiful volumes, entitled "My Boathouse". From nursery rhymes in the first volume to well -adapted biographical sketebes in the sixtb, these books are graded to suit the developing intelli- gence of the growing child, The stories are taken from the literature of forty-seven countries, from modern and from classical works. The illus- trations are exquisite. In a letter, the publishers state that each story is carefully submitted td the following tests before it is ac- cepted: 1 Has this story literary merit? 2 Will it interest the child? 3 Will what It adds to his life be for hie good? Is its underlying idea true, does it present sound standards, is its spirit fine, its atmosphere healthful? Finally, one agrees entirely with the publisher's blunt suggestion that "we are just waking up to the fact that what we put into a child's mind in quite a`s important as what we put into his stomach." From the six volumes of "My Bookbouse" a young- der oungster can get nothing but, wholesome intellectual nourishment.
