ally. half expecting pursuit. He
could see in the valley below
the town the gleaming white
tents of the little army hesitant to
march, and its plau of invasion seemed
horn onfolly and maclueers. He spurred
his bore dowu the trail to meet- the
night which rose to meet him from the
valley like a chill, engulfing flood. An
hour's brisk ride brought blue to the
open, and just at the edge of the peak
he came upon a forlorn camp, a small
tent under ay fir, and a group of four
men sitting about a fire. At their call
he turned and rode up to them. They
wove an Outpost of Munro's guard, a
part of the cordon he had thrown
round the peak and camp.
One of them knew him and, greeting
him pleasantly, asked where he had
been.
He replied- with candor, "I've been
down to the Springs to induce those
'yeller legs' to put off their expedi-
"What luck did ye have?"
"None. They're coining."
Signiecant glances passed, and the
firelight brougbt out stern lines on
, their faces. At length Brown, the cor-
poral, said solemnly: "Well, 11 they
want fight tbey can have it. But say,
Rob, does the captain know you're on
the road? There was et hullabaloo in
town about you last night. A lot of the
fellers think you went down to give
away thq. camp, ancl some said if you
ever came back they'd string you up.
Now, I guess • you better stay here
e vbile I ride up and tell the cap you're
here."
"I' don't think that's necessary, but
you might jog along with me if you
want to go. • Otherverse I'll go alone."
"Well, f'll tell ye, Rob," said Brown
In an embarrassed way, "these mon-
keys on the peak have got an awful
slant against you and Kelly, and they's
two or three fellers who are working
against you underhand right along.
You don't want to take no cha,nces,
They'll do ye if they can."
Raymond- was impressed with
Brown's earnestness and by the ad-
mirable loyalty of his fellows camped
there in the Snow. "Boys,. what aro
you staying here for?" he asked. "This
isn't a picnic. What do you do it for?"
Brown auseveted, "We do it because
we want to help these miners stand off
the nthetes.'- •-
• Raymond mused. "But yonlre friend-
• lei toward Kelly & Raymond?"
. "Sure thieg, You fellers are all right.
You've punched cowe, and Kelly is an
Old bronchi) buster heauself. But let tate
tell ye this, Rob, we're goin' to need
you and your men if these chaps come
up here the way they talk or- doin'—
with Gatling guns and all that. The
boys hare been rollin' logs for a fort
all day. You can just about see it
from here—just on that point."
"Well, supposee we ride along," sale
Raymond, and as he took a last look
around his heart warmed to thee
rough souls who had taken sides in a
quarrel not their own, moved by a
blip.d desire to aid their fellows in a
war against privilege and social „caste.
Brown called another man out of the
group to ride with them, and they
started away. On the hill east of the
town and overlooking the valley lights
could be seen flickering. The corporal
lifted his arm and pointed that way.
"There they are building the fort."
Raymond's blood began to stir, ,his
military instruction to fresben,' and for
a, moment, as he gavial there in the
• darkness, he -understood something of
Munro's 'joy in a defensive campaign,
but he said aloud: "It's all a mistake,
Brown. They can't afford to fight the
sheriff. The la.w is on his side."
Brown grimly replied, "Well, we'll
give him a little run for big money,
anyway."
Raymond smiled at the boyish qua.

that I want 0 see him," eiald Ray-
mond, "I'm Muth obliged to you."
"Oh, that's all right, Rob; take keer
gerself," And the two men rode off.
"Good luck, oys." •
As he rode w to Kelly.% cabin ond'
Cilnild out, "Hello, the home!" Matt
opened the door and, with a lad on
either side of hitu, peered out, "Is that

"The very same, Matt."

eciree end put out your horse,"
Mrs. Kelly called cheerily: "Rob,
we're glad to see you safe returned.
Are you hungry?"
He sild from his horse. "1 ant emp-

'Wtmre's Louis?"

"No. He left early this morning and

This news took away it large part of
his pleasure in the friendly hearth to
whieli he was welcomed and, removing
bis outer garments. 'Ihe bent to the
blaze in silence wbile Mrs. Kelly spread
some food before him. '
Kelly listened to the noes of LOnis'
disappearance with less concern. "He's

probably up at headquarters. Ho

"So Prank Brown told me. How do
Our men feel?"
Matt rubbed. his thin. "They're a

Mrs. Kelly interrupted, "Sit up and

Raymond could .see that Kelly was,
disturbed, and that he had sornethhag

The two men looked at each other
with grave eyes. The boy was trem-

was high and strared.
Kelly said gent y: "My. lad, 'tWolild

"Why, they're geing.to load all their

"That's a very nice plan," said Ray• -

the fire. "I'm all trembly over my

He seemed stiff, and was shivering
convulsively. "r believe I will. Rob; I

he drew his breath with a hissing

boy's body was so small and frail

Raymond, seeing this, whispered:
"You must go home. I will watch."
"No, Rob, you must sleep. I forgot
you had no sleep last night."
"Oh, yes, I did. I took a nap at Bar-
nett's. Please go to bed."
To this arrangement she submitted,
and, taking his seat close by the boy's
Couch, Raymond studied his flushed
face, more cencerned at that moment
over his temperature and pulse than
with the brawling crowds, the invading
force or the fate of his Wine. When
Munro knocked on his door he went
out upon the threshold and rennated
the failure of his mission, while the
captain of the vedettee listened with
his horse's rein across his arm. At the
end he merely said: "All right Let
them come; they will find us ready.
Did the kid turn up all right?"
• "He turned up, but he has taken a
chill and is burning with fever."
Munro seemed concerned. "He had
nothing on but that little gray jacket.
I tried to warm him up with some
whisky and a supper.I hope he won't

are you going to do—help us or the

neutral party, fobbed of balf his reso-

ering brow. "I wish you'd' been there,
lad. They're afraid of -Munro and 'vot-
ed me down. We are to do nothinh"
Raymond, submerged hi the rising
flood of his anxiety, looked at his part-
ner dully. "Well, perhaps it's better
so, Matt. I gave my_ Word to Ann that
I 'would care for this boy as if he were
my brother, and I'm ping to do it, re-
gardless of every other consideration,
If he grows worse I shall send for
Alen, and then I will have double rea-
son to keep out of the movement."
Toward daylight Raymond ealled
Kelly. "Send a message to Ann. Louis

care."

"I am asking a great deal of you,
doctor. I will gladly recompense you
for any loss of patients," said Ann.

you. I be you not to bring it down
to so mercenary a plane."
"That's very kind of you, but I Must

he will see that we are protected."
"If you feel that way, then Ithe el

old stage road. With a good span of
horses and it light cart we can drive to
