BEGIN HERE TODAY Incited by Buck Bodine, the Basques of Paradise Valley blow up a dam built by Dick Acklin, owner of the Double A ranch. Acklin leads a lynch- ing party to Bodine's ranch but the sheriff makes a timely arrival. They find a dead man on the floor and Bo- dine charges Mercedes, beautiful Basque girl, with murder. Blaze Kil- dare, however, declares that he shot Shorty because he was the of Kildare's young brother, Laramie, Wyoming. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY murderer sheriff of wasn't a wrong bone in his body. ,He was right all through, , bretzghh him up that way. And because he Was square they went out to get him. ,When you've been father and mother, and brother and pal to a kid like that, you'll know what it means to line him." Blaze had been facing Land. He turned r.ow and stared at Bodine. "I guess you've heard of the Mooney gang; or. the 'money' gang as we got to call them. They were running wild' in: Wyoming. • Banks, postoffices, trains --they weren't missing a thing. But they kept out of Laramie! And the word was passed that they were afraid of the Kid. Mooney couldn't stand that! On the eleventh of No- vember, two years ago, he and his gang tole up. to the restaurant where the boy and two of his men were eat- ing their supper, and murdered them; shot them in the back. They didn't have a chance. That's right, ain't it, Mooney?" "What?" Land cried. "You heard me!" Blaze whipped out. "He's the man! Bodine is an alias. His entire gang is in this room right now. The law forgot or got sick and gave up; but I didn't. The Kid died in my arms, and I promised to get Mooney if it took me the rest of my life." The excitement of the present mo- ment dwarfed anything that had gone before. Land saw that he had been helped to fame beyond his wildest dreams. "Why, they're wanted for a dozen mail and train robberies," he cried. "If you boys will give me,a hand we'll put the bracelets on them." CHAPTER XXXIV- (Cont'd.) "No; that was my brother; the Kid! He was only 22 when they elected hini. He was a white lad, I'll tell you." Blaze's voice lost its drawl.

The little town, after the fashion of its big brothers, had settled downto its routine existence. The flood and the election had already held the stage overly long. Bodine and his gang were on their way to Laramie, Brand had been leected by the narrowest of margins, Esteban had been removed to the Rancho, the true story of the fallen Buck's reprisals and of Jose's death were universally known; these were facts now, and accepted as such. Blaze had been cheered for a day and forgotten. Certainly he preferred it. In more ways than one, Brand was like hila. The •attorney had preached an idea. The votes had not been for him, but for what he had promised. The big ranches must go! He came down Bridge Street as Blaze waited for the Paradise stage, walking with a seemingly careless shuffle, the inevitable cigaret in his mouth. He smiled as Blaze nodded. They had not spoken half a dozen words to each other, and yet in their smile flashed complete understanding. It is the way of the true desert breed. Thanks to hien, Blaze had been re- leased without the semblance of a trial. Blaze knew he had come to the time when he must say good-bye to Ne- vada: a day or two at the most, and he would be going back to Wyoming. His Wind River ranch claimed him for a dozen different tasks. Then, too, he would be needed at Bodine's trial. Wyoming was home, and yet Nevada had never seemed so fair as on this glorious morning. Winnemucca Moun- tain, a towering, clean -limbed giant in the clearness ow early clay, seemed to march into the very outskirts of the town. Blaze could see the patch of green which marked the China Gar- dens. South of him the Harmony Range, all blues and purples now, tan- talized him. It made him think of the Tetons and the Gros Ventres back home. But there was wine in the air here such, -as even Wyoming did not know, Blaze sighed disconsolately. Well enough he knew the air was sweeter because of one who breathed it. He was going up to Paradise to say good- bye to her. He dreaded the trip in some ways, because it was.,so palpably a good-bye trip. Pretty speeches were not intended for his tongue. So lost in reverie was, he that he paid no at- tention to the man who took the chair. next to him. Imagine his surprise when he heard him say: "You ain't exactly what you'd call a social favorite today, are yuh?" "Melody! Why, you old son -of -a - gun!" Blaze's face broke into a smile. "Where you been?" he asked. "I been representin', I'll tell yuh !" Both were happier over seeing each other than either would have admit- ted. "I been all over Nevada since I saw you." He laughed to himself.

"You're not telling me what I wantt to know," said Blaze. "How is she?"I Melody had never caught quite that note in his friend's voice. He looked at his sharply. "She don't talk much," j he murmured. "She just lcoks 'as. she was waitin', an' waitin'. Wimmenl are beyond me. Kent's seen Acklin.

He was afraid of Brand and what he's been preachin'. He'll try to rebuild his dam"' "No," Kent said, "I don't think he'll try that." "Suit yourself about that," Bodine snarled, "Say, Blaisdell, how'd yuh ever get me?" "The Kid recognized Bandy's pic- ture before he died. I used to see Bandy often, up in the park or at the Hole. I knew if I found him, I'd be pretty close to finding you. I've been sure of him for days, but I wanted to get the bunch." Buck shook his head. What a frak of fortune! .. He had been the brains of the gang, but, aside from the shoot- ing of the Kid, had never participated in the actual crimes they had commit- ted. No marshal or sheriff in the West had ever met Mooney face to face to know him until this day. The crowd drew back as the prison- ers filed out, the wily Buck at their head, and then followed them. Blaze turned to Mercedes. She caught his hand. Kent had told her bout Esteban. Land came to the door. "I'll have to take you along, too," he announced. "The coroner: won't get up before' evenin ." Blaze nodded. "I'll be right out,". he answered. He felt Mercedes tugging at his arm. Her face was even whiter, if that could be. "But you did not kill that man! It Was my gun. I shot him. Why you do this thing to save me?" Blaze locked, at her in surprise. He saw that she theant what she said. "No, no!" he hastily assured her. "I got Bandy. You shot, but your marksmanship was terrible." He tried to smile. "Look at that bele in the vva111 We fired together." Mercedes eyes widened.
