Barron, himself in lave with Lnnya, leaves with the intention of killing Phil. VIrgina fol- lows, hopeful of getting to Phil in time to warn him CHAPTER X. The sounds of Steve Barron's horse thudded sharply, then stopped. From far back in the shadowy room, Virginia watched through the open doorway. Barron sat loosely in the saddle, 30 feet from Phil, his face dark and savage. His voice rang out: "Lanya gave you away, Lawrence. I came at once." "I was warned," Phil replied flat- ly. "I was waiting." "You should have known I wouldn't let you get away with rob- bing me." "It hurts, eh. When the thief is robe ed." Barren's hands lay crossed on his saddle horn. "Just what do you mean by that?" Phil's voice was sharp. "Your Mexican and Indian vaqueros rustl- ed my cattle. And not only mine - but stock belonging to every other small rancher in the valley!" "You know a lot, Lawrence." "I've been spying on. you for anonths, Barron. And I know too about your deal with Natchi---" His voice broke off, and he was suddenly crouched low and darting sideways. The roar of his unhol- stered gun burst as an echo to Barron's shot. It had happened so quickly that Virginia had not been able to follow the play; she only knew that Phil lay now flat in the dust. She gave a frightened cry and ran out into the sunglare. She saw Steve Barron still sitting lAAA1l.fst !,l `�I L& Small cuddle toys.

Virginia reached Phil and dropped to her knees be- side hien. Barron's voice lashed out, "Move aside!" She held herself low as a shield "Not" she cried hysterically. • He was silent for so long that she raised herself to look at him. He had holstered his gun. He was swaying in the saddle, his right hand clamped against his right side where a crimson patch had sudden- ly come to his shirt. The wound drew his face into tight lines. Then, groping for the reins, he turned his horse and rode slowly out into the desert. Virginia watched his sway- ing, drooping figure until it grew small, Phil's movement drew her eyes to him. He was lifting himself up, both hands placed against the ground. His face was set hard with pain. • "Phil!" "It's all right," he sairi heavily got pre -in the leg.

He sank onto a bunk. * * "Virginia," he said gently, '"I'm sorry I let you in for this," "It's all right, Phil," she told him. The next hour was a bewildered memory afterward. Virginia was only vaguely aware that she had boiled water, washed and bandag- ed the cruel wound above Phil's left knee. She was dazed by the shocking violence. She was alarmed by Phil's suffering eyes. She sat by him and held his hand. He looked very weak. Perspiration stood in glistening beads on his forehead She wiped it away with a cool, wet cloth. He did not talk at all hut stared dully at the ceiling. He lay very still for what seemed hours. She realized finally that his eyes were closed. His breathing was short and quick. She was startled more to find hits asleep, • Lanya Correy calve in the half- light of dusk. She had ridden alone across those eight miles of danger- ous country; a heavy skirt, a man- nish shirt. doeskin boots, and a som- brero. She crossed at once to Phil and bent over him. She removed het hat and her dark hair felt in soft waves to her neck, She lay a gen- tle hand on his forehead. Virginia felt sudden jealousy as she watched. "He has a fever," Lanya said soft- ly. "It's bad then?" "I don't know," Virginia said heavily, "I know so little -I'm so helpless about such things," (Continued next Week) Worth a Whistle -Cabbies nearly tumbled out of their hacks when they spotted a girl strolling along a boulevard clad only in a transparent plastic suit --with a swim suit underneath Eighteen -year-old Janet Martyr was modelling the outfit--- know nas `trayducer"-designed to help folks reduce by melting fat off.
