It was accomplished so openly as to appear planned, but before he could reel away again, Fairbain struck out, and the man went down. With an oath he was on his feet, and Hope .cowered back against her protector. Each man had weapons drawn, the crowd scurrying madly to keep out of the line of fire, when, with a stride, a new figure stepped quietly in between them. Straight as an arrow, broad shouldered, yet small waisted as a woman, his hair hanging low over his coat-collar, his face smooth shaven except for a long moustache, and emotionless; the revolvers in his belt untouched. he simply looked at the ' Hope paused on the step, even as Dr. Fairbain grasped her hand. dinned by the medfey oi discordant sounds. and confused by the vociferous jam of humanity.

His name was an oddly familiar one, associated in vague memory with some of the most desperate deeds ever witnessed in the West, yet always found on the side of law and order; it was difficult to con- delve that this quiet-spoken, mild-eyed. sandy smiling man could indeed be the most famous gun fighter on the border, hated, feared, yet thoroughly respected, by every desperado be- tween the Platte and the Canadian. Beyond the glare and glitter of the Metropolitan Dance Hall the noisy crowd thinned away somewhat, and the marshal ventured to drop back be side Fairbaln, yet vigilantly watched every approaching face. “West end graders just paid off," was the reply. “They have been whoopin’ it up ever since noon, and ore beginning to get ugly.
