The ranger st4died the small fighre
before him with penetrating gaze.
There was deliberate fearlessness in
the stranger's face and eyes, and, not-
withstanding his calm, almost langiaid
movement, restless energy could be
detected in his -voice.
"What is your plan?" the ranger
asked.
"Get ourselves deputized by the
court and jump these men beforethey
realize that there's anything doing.
They corint the whole country on their
side, but they're mistaken. They've
outdone themselves this time, and , a

sheriff is paralyzed. Everybody knows
that the assassins are prominent eat -
tie ranehers, and yet no one dares
move. It's up to you fellow, who
represent law and order, to act quicit"
. Cavanagh followed him with cone,
piete comprehension, and a desire to
carry out the plan seized upon him.
"I'd -do it if I could," he said, "but #
happens I am nursing a sick man. I
am perhaps already exposed to the

week or more. It would Net be right
for me to expose others"-
"Don't worry about that. Take a

Swenson repeated his coin/minds

them, but neither Lie. nor Lee would
consent to go. "It would be heathen -
fah to -leave him alone in this lonesome
hole:, protested Lize.
"I shall stay till he is free," added
Lee. And with uneasy heart she
crossed the bridge and walked on and
on toward the cabin till she was close
enough to detect the Hues et care on
her lover's haggard face.
"Stop:" he called sharply. "Keep
away! Why don't you obeyme? Why
