INc BEGIN HERE TODAY Dick Acklin big boss of the Double .1. ranch, takes a lynching party to the ranch of Buck !iodine when he hears that Ruck is the instigator of the blow - Inc up o? a clam built by the Double A. Acklin finds 51ercedes Arrascada in tears at Bodine's place and Shorty, one of Bo- dine's men, dead nn the floor. Blaze Kil- dare of the Double A is an unseen sp••O- i tot of all that happens inside the cabin.

"You're all., cut up about your dam, ain't yule " The laugh died out of Bodine's voice, "Yowls never rebuild that little toy, ether; not if you jug me!" It was Acklin's tarn to smile, "We clean forgot about your in- junction when we built it, didn't we?" he asked sarcastically. "No!" Buck shook his head. "You forget how the water was tricked out of the .Rebel so that you could build your dam! When I tell my r tory to a jury, you'll go into eclipse." "The jury that's go:ng to hear your. case will use a rope! You get dist, Bodine. By the time the coroner comes to get this thing on the floor, the buz- zards will be picking your bones. There won't be anybody but me to, say how this man got snot, And if I say that you did it the latter will be ended. You are going to swing!" Buck cast an anxious, calculating eye at the windt.ays, The one at his 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 •hance! Mercedes was watch:lig Bodine. She saw his fingers ,clench, his muscles knot. She divined his intentio- . Her mouth opened in amazement,. Bcdine 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 alining stopped him short. Acklin smiled at him pity- ingly. Ile had heard also. ' Kildare had watched Acklin and Bodine. He blessed every minute that passed without biinging 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 clone. 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 mer. a long minute before Buck or Acklin became aware of their noise. There were five or six in the crying child brought Deck to the man a recollection of E steban's words. Bodine had taken care of the child then! 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 done ill the traveling he's going to do. You'll go with me when I leave here. Aw-w-h! Who did hat?" He pointed te Shorty. "She did!" Bodin.: cried, wiping the alood from his scratched face. "Pulled •my gun out and got hien from the door there!" I"Is that right?" Acklin bellowed. Mercedes covered her face with her lands. He could hear her sob as she ',tuned away. It was answer enough for him. . "They'll take you to jail for this," he grumbled. He stopped to mutter to himself. Then: "No, they won't either! I'll I'll rix that!" He ciuvc close to Bodine. Buck's nerve had returned in a measure. "You won't take her away from me, i Acklin; not that way," he cut in before the Big Boss could speak. But Acklin laughed in his face for his pains. "You have your little joke, Bodine," e ss arned. "Your time's short enough." Buck's face paled a trifle at the studied ease with which the man be- fore him uttered this statement. "What you hintin' at now ?" he de- manded. "When my men get here you'll find out. You didn't think you could get away with what yea pulled en me to - eight, did you? You bossed this deal!" Bodine's lips twitched uneasily., Had that fool kid given hint away? His poker eyes searched Acklia's face for some sign of bluffing, but he found no- thing to reassure him. "You ain't goin' to have me arrest- ed on that bosco's word, are you," he asked. "No. We ain't vire; to arrest you, Bodine." The directness of this statement blanched the big fellow's face. They were going to do without the law; that was what Acklin was saying! The blood along Buck'n 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 grin to his mouth now and Your doctor wilt tell you how the act' of chewing relaxes and soothes strait.ed nerves, and how the health• full cleansing action of Wrigley's refreshes and tones you up all ,-mound.

"What's the platter, honey?" he mftrnlured sympathetically as he reached out to help her, "Tell Peter to some in here," he called to sand, a second later. When the old Basgvte can in, Kent gave the sleeping child to him. "Like lfinI 'uts'de till this thing's over," he advised. (To be continued,) a ; "Here are the rest of the boys. We'll get moving!" The Big Boss raised his voice. "Somebody bring in a rope," he cried. "H,irry 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 hint into the kitchen. There seemed to be soma delay out- side. Ile could hear a- murmur of voices. Bodine'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 out again for these outside to hurry up. In an- swer to his 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."

Yo., get that, du you, Bodine?" 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 Acklin had cornered Bodies. 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 him he believed the man had come in with the others. "Here he is!" tho 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 turned 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 man's eyes were try- ing to convey some 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 ine, I guess." The crowd wheeled on Kildare. "Why, you just came in, now—evith 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 'all unexpected source.' "That'll stop your little game, Ack- lin," he cried. The Big Boss paid no attention to Bodine's words. His eyes were on Blaze. In tense tortes ho said to hint: "You ain't saying who did it, Kil- dare, flut you and I know. It means a trial --jail! We don't want that. If you'll pass me your word, we'll sting up this skunk fo- blowing out the darn I and killing this roan, and letit go at that." �. Then calm the clatter; of many horses.

In 'the silence that followed, Land squeezed past the little man in the doorway. He was broadshouldered, gi- gantic; a sheviff of bygone days. In the crook of his arm he carried a time- worn army Winchester that he had taken away from a renegade Piute. "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 coon,,." Merceds had heard Kent's question.
