DAWN CHAPTER XIV The shouts and curses had died away into»complete silence as the last scene of the tragedy came on the stage. This was the climax of the afternoon's entertainment. In another moment Dave Bruce would be dancing at the end of the long rope, gurgling, and clawing ■helplessly' with his hands in his effort to free himself. Then suddenly Lois leaped--and what happened next was somthing entirely unforeseen by any man in that crowd. For, with a swift bound, the girl was astride Black Dawn behind Dave, and quick as a flash her arm shot up. A blade was seen < to glint in the light that came" from the front of the Wayside Rest. The rope, tgygr^O. with two quick strokes, dropped in a coil about Dave's shoulders. A low whistle from Lois' lips. And instantaneously Black Dawn went into action. With a mighty leap the great stallion broke through the crowd, knocking men right and left. He plunged through the rearing horses, which were squealing with terror their riuers frantically pulled leather i order to retain their balance. Another instant, and the horse, bearing his double burden, was galloping along the street, gathering his mighty muscles into an amazing composite of speed and momentum. The horse was through the crowd before any man there had recovered his presence of mind. Curran was the first to do so. "Stop them!" he howled. "Shoot the hawss! Shoot quick!" He loosed his six-gun, and a rattling volley followed close upon the discharge. But by this time Black Dawn and his' two riders were halfway the length of the short street. The punchers on thei:- rearing horses were struggling madly to get them undei control. There came a wild dash ait. They might as well have chaseu the wind. Black Dawn was already past the last light of the town Sad outside revolver range. Lois, seated, upon his haunches behind Dave, guided the stallion with her knees. Dave was awakening from a_ daze. The events of the last thirty* seconds had been so monstrously different from what he had expected. Now he understood. lift/ turned round, shifted a little 'trig ward the horse's withers, extend*! ed his arm to hold Lois in her; "Leave me alone! Leave me alone!" she whispered fiercely. But Dave still held her, and the black stallion rushed on through the night across the range, and toward the uplands, while the yells of their pursuers died away behind On and on through the night, black as pitch, the great stallion sped like the wind over the range. Minutes went by, and Black Dawn's pace did not slacken. But suddenly Dave was aware that Lois was slumping toward him. He grasped her more firmly. "Leave me--alone!" she mut- Something wet was dripping upon Dave's fingers. He extended them, and found a wet patch upon that he "Lois--you're hit!" he- cried. "Leave me alone, I tell you. It's nothing. Im taking--you--" But her voice failed her. And it was with the utmost difficulty that Dave, seated in front of her, could contrive to keep his seat and also hold her on the back of the horse, who showed no signs of slackening his speed. Without reins, or even halter,^Dave was powerless to control fifm, while to attempt to bandage Lois' wound was out of the question. In the dim starlight Dave tried to locate his surroundings. It seemed to him that the horse was taking them User's cabin. ^~ It was not until then realized that the severed hangman's noose was still' about his neck. Dave uncoiled it with one hand and was about to throw it away. Then he realized that its discovery would give the clue to their flight. He fastened it instead about his saddle-horn, where his lariat was coiled. The horse was straining upward toward the higher mesas. The scrub brushed his flanks, now and again he kicked away a shower of stones At last the upper mesa was reachd, and before Dave realized it Black Dawn had come to a standstill in front of the cabin looming darkly up out of the scrub, Dave slipped from the saddle and caught Lois in his arms. He carried her inside the cabin and laid her on her bunk. He heard a horse nicker somewhere, and Black Dawn's trumpeting answer. Then sounded the thud of hoofs, and the stallion was gone. Dave found the lamp and lit it. He was surprised how his fingers were shaking. He looked at Lois and saw that the blood was still ozzing from the wound in her shoulder. He ulled down the stained overalls and the soaked garment beneath, exposing the white flesh of the upper arm. He dabbed at it with the corner of the garment, and, to his relief, saw that the wound was a slight one. A bullet had struck just below-the collarbone and seared its way across the flesh of the shoulder, 'bet it had apparently severed a small artery in its course. The bleeding, however, had almost BACKACHE? Look out for Trouble With Your KIDNEYS If your back aches or if you have disturbed sleep, burning or smarting, look out for trouble.

He went back to the side of the bunk and pressed his fingers upon the flesh about the artery. Suddenly he was aware that Lois' eyes were open, and that she was looking at him. "You're all right, Miss Lois," he said. "Just nicked you. You don't mind my takin' care of yore wound? I wish there was some disinfectant. You ain't got Lois shook her head. Her eyes were pools of unfathomable gray, searching Dave's, searching for the answer to her unspoken question. Dave answered it. "You saved my life when it wasn't worth biddin' a cent in a thousand dollars on," he said huskily. No, I didn't kill Mr. Hooker. Some skunk shot him .through the window while we was talkin'. I can't say more than that You can believe me or not just as you please. No, you got to believe me, Loi_." "I guess 1 do," Lois answered. "I'd •ed yoi and Black Dawn--if I had) lieved you. He didn't often make mistakes in judging men, Mr. Hooker didn't. It was only because you broke Black Dawn, I reckon. I couldn't stand for that not knowing who you were." Her voice trailed away weakly. "How long have we been here?" she "Not more than fifteen minutes. I'm heatin' some water to clean your wound. I--I had to--" "That was kind of you," she answered, with the simplicity of a child. There was not the least embarrassment in her face or voice, and she let Dave sponge the wound with a piece of clean cotton material in a small tin trunk that she showed him under the bunk. He bandaged it with strips, passing them a neck to hold them . "How you feelin'?' asked anxiously. "I'm better now." "Think yuh could eat something? Or maybe a cup of coffee --I could make that quick for There was a faint smile on her face. "You're not thinking about yourself, are you?" she aoked.
