Mercedes did not know how long she had been asleep when she was awakened by the sound of some one creeping stealthily up the stairs. It was Shorty. He had called sev- eral times and, getting no answer, had begun search.ng the house, bent on picking up whatever trifles he could find and, at the sante time, intending to make certain that he had not left himself open to Bodine's displeasure. When Mercedes threw open her door and faced hint, he was the more fright- ened of the two. But Shorty was trt.ly an evil -looking figure as she saw hint standing in t'1e light that stream- ed on him.

"I been callin' for ten mina .es. I didn't think they was any one home." Mercedes read the note hastily. Her heart beat faster as she recognized Basilio's strange letters. He was alive then!

"Well, lady, Buck was afraid they wouldn't be anythin' left of this place. I bin hours gittin' here. I got a rig e, take you in. We'll have tc go round by the Winnemucca road to make it." The girl weighed what she was doing, for all of her excitement, as she followed Shorty down,tairs to his team. She had good reason to fear Bodine; bat shehad to go to Basilio. At least, it would be dawn when .;he arrived there. In answer to a redden impulse she snatched a pin from her dress, and a: she stepped noon the verandah she fastened Bodine's note to the door without attracting Shorty's attention. Melody would be sure to find it there. With a distinct sense of fear she tock her seat beside Bodine's man.

Her struggle to keep to her end of the seat began to cease. The man beside her was no longer the evil -looking thin,; he had been. Mer- cedes felt her head resting on his shct.lder. It was soft and wonderfully comfortable. She sighed contentedly. By the time they cane to the main road she slept. Shorty's arra was around her to keep her from falling, the expression on his face ae emotion- less as ever. In this fashion they traveled to Webster Creek.

Damn itt If he hadn't had to go back to the ranch to get . here, I'd a been in time." His jaws closed with a click. He wheeled on Kent with an angry glitter in his eyes. Tuscaroie's anxiety for the girl matched Kildare's. "Let's not weste any more time," Blaze cried, as he flung himself into his saddle. "Listen, Kent," he went on. "How long will it take you to get the sheriff?" "He may be in Paradlsee now. Land's a friend of mine. I 'phoned him as soon 'as I hea: c. the explosion. He won't waste any time gettin' up here from Winnemucca." "Well, you get him as quick as that old nag of yours will let you. Swear in all the deputies you can, and fan it for Bodine's place. There's going to be hell to pay there in another hour. Acklin is going to swing him if he can." "He means business, huh V' "You bet he 'does! But I intend to have something to say about that. I don't want him h•i,sgi This party of Acklin's is- going to throw the fear of God into an old friend of mine. I've got. to stop it som,J way." Blaze was thinking of Shorty. Still Blaze realized as Kent and he dashed along that if the Big Boss and his hien got to Webeter Creek first, as was most likely, the odds against being able to play for time until the sheriff and his posse arrived would male the effort almost hopelees. The Cole boy racked his brain to invent some game of cross purposes by which he could accomplish this seeming impos- sibility. He understood fully, too, CHAPTER XXXII. CAUGHT IN A TRAP Bodine caught sound of Shorty's coming when the man was still some distance away. Buck had worked int - self intb a fine ferment as he waited. He put on his hat now and went to the barn. He Wanted a word with Shorty before he faced the girl He heard them drive into the yard, and. saw Mercedes get out of the wa- gon and walk into the kitchen. A few seconds . later Shorty pulled up his team in front of the barn. "Damn it, elan, where you been?" Buck demanded angrily. "You mean,' where ain't I been," Shorty growled back at him. "Look at that rig. It's been over the hubs in Mud half the time. I got .what I went after, didn't I?" "Yeh? And you had me scared to death, too. You unhitch your team and saddle up. The boys are waitin' for you on the trail that goes up to Liotard's place. P11 bring you down in the mornin' if everything's O.K." "What about the kid?" Shorty asked. "I clean forgot him," Buck adinitted. "You stay and hang on to him. If he• starts squavelcirf''again: wring his little neck" Mercedes drew back as Buck open- ed the kitchen door. The slovenly dis- order of the room and the air of mys- tery which hung over the entire place had thoroughly alarmed her. Bodine saw her nervous start. "Well, I see you got here at last," he said with an easy smile. "I knew ydu'd be worried about the kid." .. "Is he all right?" "Sure; sound asleep right now.". "Let the have •him, please.

English English Is to Be Spoken "Talkies" to Bring About One Language, Is the Opinion of Movie Manager New York—The English language,. through talking motion pictures, now stands a good chance of becoming the international language, in the opinion of. John Maxwell, chairman of British International Pictures, and Colvin Brown, `vicepresident of the Pathe Company, who arrived here on the Berengaria. It's going to be "English English," however, and not "American English," in the opinion of Mr. Maxwell. He cited as reason for his belief the fact that a large number of English actors are being engaged for the talkies at Hollywood. , "Please don't get the idea," he said, "that real English is the haughty ac- cent'of Oxford and Cambridge, which has 'given England a rather comic reputation. The English we speak over there is a plain, clear language, not much different from the English that any well-educated American uses. The chief difference is perhaps that we enunciate more clearly than 'do the Americans." Brown said the English are criticis- ing the American accent in -the talk. ing pictures . sent over there, and he expects to see a battle between New York .Dnglish and London English.
