NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Rainey was trying to persuade Daniels that it was foolish for him to throw in his destiny with theirs when he had taken no part in the attempt on the bank, but it was not hard for Buck to prove to Dud that he was wrong. ' There would be a mob trial and mob justice for every unwounded man taken from the stable that night. They turned back to their captive, whose fear had a little abated. They demanded to know the two best horses in the stable. He took them at once to the stalls. The prosperity of the town of Wickson was amply attested by the condition of its leading livery stable. For there were fully thirty animals in the stalls and most of them were excellent mounts. There was no need for him to point out the best of the lot. A tall, wide-shouldered roan, apparently capable of bearing even the bulk W Harry Gloster, and a slender limbed little brown mare stood out head and shoul-1 ders above tho rest. They saddled these and brought them back .in silence. For it was plain that they had only one chance, and that chance was really a delusion. They must attempt' to break out through the front or the rear entrance to the stable and ride! to liberty. It was, indeed, worse-than hopeless,, for the street in front of the stable1 was lined with fine marksmen, all i grouped within easy range of the' door of tho stable. Rainey went to: the "rear of the building to explore .".nd came back with the report that the roof of every shed near the stable was thick with armed men.
