The reply was a rain of bullets, and one or two yells of alarm, but the skulkers dis- appeared behind cover and it might be taken for granted that they would not soon try to approach the stable from that direction. BEGIN HERE TODAY Finding the lifeless bodies of his two partners at their gold mining camp, Harry Gloster flees southward, knowing that he will be accused of the crime. On the way Gloster is jailed after getting into a fight with sev- eral men over a girl. Joan Barry helps Gloster to escape. Joan falls in with a bandit gang in the mountains. To be near her, Glos- ter casts his lot with the gang,too. Joe Macarthur, the chief, confesses to Gloster that he killed the two pros- pectors. Samuel Carney, cashier of the Wickson Bank, gives Macarthur the combination to the safe, then re- pents of his deed and tells the presi- dent of the bank what he had done. At the bank the robbers are greeted with a storm of bullets. Macarthur and Gloster dash through a broken door. Then Macarthur, with a gasp, falls to his knees, fatally wounded.

But, still, where could the fugitives go? There was only one horse for the two unhurt men and for one wounded--and this was Rainey's gal- lant pony, which had trotted around the corner to join him. There was only one horse for three men, and the whole town, as could be told by far-off shooting, was rising. And then it was that they saw two horses racing down the main street --Fern's men had chosen to charge home, then? No, for the voice of one rider was shouting: "Gloster! Harry Gloster!" And he recognized Buck Daniels, with an answering shout of joy. Yet Daniels did not reach them first.

"He'll carry two--swing up behind --quick!" But there, gasping in the dirt be- side him, was Joe Macarthur, to whom he had sworn, locking into his eyes, that he would be faithful. He scooped the heavy body up in his arms, ran forward and tossed Macarthur across the pommel of the saddle. "Down the street, Joan," Gloster shouted, "as fast as the horse will run!" "I can't leave you!" "For God's sake, Joan!" Buck Daniels had drawn up beside them and behind his saddle had leap- "Harry, are ed Dud Rainey.

In another instant the bullets were whistling. There was no facing that fire.
