WHAT HAPPENED SO FAR
Bud 'Lee, horse foreman of the Blue
Lake ranch, convinced Bayne Trev-
ors, manager, is deliberatly wrecking
the property owned by Judith. San-
ford, a young woman, her cousin,
Pollock Hampton, and Timothy Gray,
decides to throw up his job. Judith
arrives and announces she has bought
Gray's share in the ranch 'and will
run it. She discharges Trevors.
The men on the ranch dislike tak-
ing orders from a girl, but by subdu-
ing a vicious horse and proving her
thorough knowledge of ranch life,
Judith wins the best of them over.
Lee decides to stay.
Convinced her veterinarian, Bill
Crowdy, is treacherous, Judith dis-
charges him, :re-engaging • an old
friend of her fathers, Doc. Tripp.'
Pollock Hampton, with a party of
friends, comes to the ranch. to stay
permanently. Trevors excepts Hamp-
ton's invitation to visit the ranch.
Judith's messenger is held up and
robbed of the monthly pay roll. ,
Bud Lee goes to the city for more
money, getting back safely with it,.
though his horse is killed under him..
Both he and Judith see Trevor's hand
in the crime. Hog cholera, hard'to
account for, breaks out on the ranch.
Judith and Lee, investigating the
scene of the holdup, climb a moun-
tain, where the robber must have hid-
den,
A cabin in a flower -planted clearing
excites Judith's admiration, It is
Lee's, though he does not say. 'so.
They are fired on from,ambush, :and
Lee wounded, Answering the fire,
they make

has the money oney taken from Judith's
messenger. Beseiged in the cabin,
they are compelled to stay all night.
Hampton, at'the ranch, becomes
uneasy at Judith's long absence, With
Tommy Burkitt he goes to seek her,
arriving in time to drive the attack-
ers off, and capturing one,tnan, who
is. known as "Shorty."
"Shorty" escapes frown imprison-
ment in, the grainhoum of the ranch,
to the disgust of Carson, cow fore-
, who had him in charge. Lee be-'
gins to feel a fondness for Judith, tho'
he realizes she is not his wotnanly
ideal. Marcia Langworthy, one . of
Hampton's party, typical city girl, is
mom to his taste.
The discovery is inade that_piig-
geons, with hog cholera germs on
their feet, have been liberated on the
ranch, Lee capttmes a stranger Dick
Donley, red-handed, with an accom-
plice, a cowboy known as ",Poker
Face". Donley has brought more pi-
geons to the ranch.
, At a dance given in honor. of
Hampton's friends Lee appears in ev-
ening dress. Re is recognized by one
of the party as an old acquaintance.
Dave Lee, oneo wealthy but ruined
by trttsting false friends. Judith, in
her woiitatt1 r finery makes.,such an
appeal to Lee that, alone' .with her,
he forcibly kisses her, teeelving the
rebuke deaervod,
NOW•
' READ ON ---
Lee kept his eyes. hard. on • Quin-
nion's. He moved a little, so that the
wall was at. his back. His coat was
unbuttoned; his left hand was in his
pocket, • his aria holding back his' coat
a little on that side. The right hand
was lax •at his side, like puinnionrs,
He had seen the other men, though
his eyes had seemed to see only one
matt. One of. theae hn knew; the •oth-
ers he had seen. They were the sort
to be' found in Quinnion', company.
They were the nucleus of what was
spoken c i as Quinnion's crowd.
`tQ•uinnion,"` said Lee quietly, "you
are a d—d. dirty -mouthed liar."
The words came like little slaps in
the face. Of the four men still in the
room with Quinnion, three` of •'them
moved swiftly to one side, their eyes
on their leader's face which showed
nothing of what might lie in his mind.
"I have taken the trouble," went on
Lee coolly, when Quinnion, leering
back at him, made no reply, "to ride
fortymil t
es tonight for
g,
t o a little talk
with you, You'are a crook and a
card -cheat. I told you that once be-
fore. You have been telling men that
I am a coward and a four-flusher.
For that I am going to run you out
of town tonight. Or kill you,"
Then Quinnion laughed at him.
"Just for that?" he jeered. "Or
because I've been tellin' a true story
about you an—
He didn't get her name out. Per-
haps he hadn't expected to. His eyes
had been watchful. Now, as.he threw
himself to .one side, he' whipped out
his gull, dropping to, ogre knee, his
body partly concealed by ,the table.
At the same .second Bud Lee's right
hand,o longer g
n or re lax spedto: h
the re-
volver
,
gripped r
g pp�ed under the - coat at his
left armpit.
It was a situation by no means new
to the four walls of the Jailbird nor
to the men .concerned. It was a two-
man fight, with as yet no call for the
four. friends.' of Quinnion to intereferej
It would take the spit and, snarl of
a revolver, the .flash of flame, the
acrid . sme11 of burning -powder' to
switch their sympathetic watchingin-
fo
to actual participation, No new sit-
uation certainly for Chris. Quinnion
who . took quick stock of the table
with its'heavy top and screened his
body with it, no new situation for
Steve, the big bartender who was at
the shattered door almost as Bttd Lee
sent it rocking drunkenly.
Since. a fight:like this in a small
room may end' in three seconds and
yet reinain a fight for men to talk of
at street corners for many a day
thereafter, it is surely a struggle baf-
fling adequate description. For while
you speak of it, it is done; while a
clock ticks, two guns may carry hot
lead and cut itt two two threads of
life.
Quinnion was down and shooting,
with but ten. steps r less between
hint and the Mari whom he sought to
kill; Bud Lee was ,stattdin f;, tall and
straight, back to the ,wall, his, first
buret rippirhg into the hoards of the,
table, sending a flying splinter to
stick in Qttittttiott's i'aoc, ekse to a
squinting, slitted eye; and as the twc
spoke like one, a' third from th
open barroom shattered the lar
swinging from the ceiling betwee
Lee and Quinnion, "Steve, the bar
tender; bad taken a Band,
The card room was plunged into
"darkness so thick that Lee's frown
;jag eyes could= nil longer make ou
Quinnion's. bead above .the table, so
black that to Quinnioii's eyes the tal
form of Lee against the wall'was
lost• in shadow..
As Steve fixed his shot into the
'lamp, Bud Lee understood just what
would be Steve's next play; the bar-
tender had given his friends brief re-
spite from the deadly fire of the Blue
Lake man, and now would turn his
second shot through - the flimsy wall
itself on the rnan standing there. Lee
did not hesitate now, but with.one'
leap was across the room, avoiding
the table, seeking to chine to; close
quarters with Quinnion and have the
thing over and done with. In the bit-
terness still gnawing at his heart, he
told himself again and again that it
would' be no calamity to,the world
if the two men who had insulted Ju-
dith Sanford went <down. together.
Again Steve fired. His bullet' rip-
ped into the wall, tearing a hole thru
the partition where a brief instant ago
Lee had. stood. The light out in the
barroom was extinguished. In the
card room it was utterly, impenetrab-
ly dark now, only a vague square of
lesser darkness telling where was the
window through which Shorty had
fled,
A red flare of flame from where
Quinnion crouched, and Lee stood
very still, refusing the temptation to
fire back, For Quinnion's bullet had
sped wide of the mark, striking the
wall a full:yard to Lee's left. • Qitin-
nion's eyes had not found him, would
not find him soon if he stood quite
motionless. The fight was still' to be
made, Quinnion's friends would be
taking a• hand now, Steve had already.
joined issue. There were six of them
against him and. with one shot fired
from his heavy . Colt there were but
five left. No shot to .be wasted.
• A little creaking of a floor board,
a vague, misty blur. almost at his : side,
and still Lee saved his fire. Quickly,
he lifted the big revolver held weld-
ed to a grip of steel, throwing it high
abo a his head . a.nd striking down-
ward. There was almost no sound;
just:.the thudding blow as the thick
barrel struck a heavy mat of hair, and
with no outcry a man went down to
lie still..At the same moment the
dim, square of 'the window showed. a
form slipping through; one' man' was
seeking safety from a quarrel not his
own. And as he went, there came.
again a soft thudding blow and Car-
son's dry voice outside, saying calm-
ly: "Shorty got.away, but you dont`,
pardner, Give 'em h-1, Bud. I'm in
the play again,"
"Two men down," grunted. Lee to
himself with. grim satisfaction. "And 1
old Carson back on the job. Only
two to our one now."
The form in the window crumpled
and under Carson's quick hands was
�'
Jerked out, Suddenly it was very still
in the little room. Steve did not fire
a third time; Quinnion held his'fire.
For Lee had made no answer and
they were taking heavy chances with
every shot now, chances of shooting
the wrong man. Each of the four
watchful men in the narrow apart-
hnen•t breathed softly.
Once more Lee lifted his gun above
his head. As he held it thus, he put
out his left hand, inch by inch, grop-
ingly. Extended full length, it touch-
ed nothing. Slowly he moved it in
a semi -circle,

hand always ready to come crashing
down. His `fingers touched the wall,.
then moving
back assured 1 '
um h
that
t
no one was within reach. Lifting a
foot slowly, toward the spot where he
had last seen Quinnion. Again his
arm, circling through 'the darkness,
sought to locate for him one of the
meh who must be very hear hien now.
Suddenly it brushed, a' man's shoulder.
There was a sharp, muttered ex-
clamation, and again a flare of red
flame as this man fired.: But he had
misjudged Bud Lee's position by a
few inches; the bullet cut through his
coat, and Lee's clubbed revolver fell
unerringly, smashing into the man's
forehead. There was. a low moan, a
revolver clattered to the floor, a body
fell heavily,
"A •new situation," thought Lee,
Three inert dowry before a clock could
tick off'as many initiates and not a
single man shot, It was a place for a
man like Charlie'Miller with his old
pickhandle.
"Bud," called Carson's voice sharp-
ly, "are you all right?"
"Yes," answered I..ee briefly, and. as
he answered moved sharply to one
side so that his voice might not draw
a shot front Qainnien or the other
men. These carne two ;spurts of flame
one from each of the corners of the
room opposite him, the reporte of the
two shots reverbrating loudly, Bet
this was mere gatesswork-=shooting

ly had little fear, And he knew pre -

But Quinnion could be trusted
Lee, equally silent, again set a slo
foot out, moving cautiously toward
the spot where his eyes sought ()Mu-
llion in the dark.
He was calculating swiftly now:
Quinnion had fired. twice from the
screen of the table just as Steve shot
out the light; he had been again just
now, it was a' fair bet that at least
one of the other shots had been his.
That meant that he had fired four
times. If Quinnion still carried his old
six-shooter he had but two shots at
most left to him, for there had been
no time which he would risk ;in re-
loading.
Lee swept off • his hat and tossed
it out before him to the spot where
he believed Quinnion was and dropp-
ed swiftly to his knee as he did so.
There was a snarl, Quinnioit•'s evil
snarl, and a shot that'sped high above
his head. His hat had struck Quin-
nion full in the fce. Then Lee again.
sprang forward, again struck out with
his clubbed revolver. The blow miss-
ed Quinnion's head but caught him
heavily on the shoulder and sent him
staggering back against the wall. Lee
could hear the bulk of his body crash-
ing against the boards. And . again
leaping, he struck the second time
at Quinnion. This time there was no
snarl, but a falling weight and still-
ness.
There was a sound of a chair vio-
lently thrown down, the scuffle of.
hasty' feet Mid in th'e'door the faint
blur of .a flying figure seeking refuge
in the bar. Lee' flung• the. crip'peld
door shut after.. the fugitive and then.
with his left hand struck a match, his.
revolver ready in 'his right. •
Holding the•tiny flame down to-
ward the floor, he made.- out two
prone bodies. One, that of the first
man he had struck down, a .man.
whom he knew.by name as Lefty De-
vine, a brawler and boon. companion
of Quinnion. The other Quinnion

"Better do the hot foot, Bud," he
grunted softly, "while the trail's op-
en. Steve will be .inixing in again."
But Lee seemed :in no haste now.
When the match had burned out, he
dropped it andslipped fresh cartridg-
es into his gun. That done, he stoop-
ed, gathered • up Quinnion's feebly.
struggling gg g .bo dy in his arms and car-
ried it to the window.
"Here," he said coolly to Carson,
"Take him through,
Carson obeyed, jerking the now
complaining Quinnion out hastily and
unceremoniously, Lee followed as
Steve threw open the barroom door,
"It's a new one on me, just the .
same," said Carson dryly as he wat-
ched Lee stoop and gather Quinnion
up in ' his arms. "After a little party.
like this one, I'm generally traveling
on an' not stopping to pick flowers

While Carson was cudgeling his
brains for the o t answer and d Steve.' was
making cautions examination of the
card room, Lee with his burden in his
arms passed through the darkness'ly-
ing at the rear of the saloon and out
into the street. ,Carson followed to
take, care of a sortie should Steve and
the rest not have had all they wanted
for one night. He chuckled, remark-
ing
emarking to himself that Bud Lee and
Quinnion were the very pictune of a
young mother -and her babe in arms.
Not until they againreached the
Golden Spur did Lee's burden com-
pletely regain consciousness, Many
a man on the street' looked won.der-
