He sank into a chair and lax- ly looked at Ann. Together they returned to the bunga- low, and Raymond, after a moment’s conversation with Braide, threw him- self on his couch. “Ah. this seems good!” he exclaimed to Ann and fell asleep almost instantly. She drew the robe over him with careful hands and turned to Braide. “I’m so grateful to you, Dr. Braide. You are to eat supper with the Kellys. I think you would better go over to the house now.

If any man is fitted to advise ’tis Matt Kelly and not a play actor and celluloid bunko steerer like y’rself. Go yer ways, Jack Munro, but lave me and mine alone. This ends it. Ye’ll have no welcome from the Kel- lys’ door after this night’s work, and if ye put so much as the toe of ye’re foot across me path I’ll kill you for the reckless, murderln’ devil that ye are!" Munro reeled under this gusty blast, but recovered himself. “You’ll be com- ting to me for help inside of twenty- four hours, and you’ll get it for the sake of Nora and the kids. Good night.” At this moment Kelly opened the door. “Is it you, Ann?” He stepped aside. “Go in, girl, ye’re supper’s waitin’.” Ann slipped in, glad to escape under the great arm which barred Munro’s passage. “You stay outside,” Kelly said to the young desperado, and his voice was dangerously calm. “I want a word with you. The blood of this night’s work will be on your head, me lad. You can’t excuse yourself by sayin’ the committee demands it. You are the committee. Man, you’re crazy!" The young leader laughed. “They’re the crazy ones, to come up against my men on this bill with a lot of old soaks, one lungers and ex-policemen dead on their boots. But don‘t worry, there’ll be no battleâ€"the clatter of a tin can will scare ’em into bug house fits. Now, Matt, let me finish what I came to say. We've been good friends, and I want to keep friends. You’re a fair man, but, let me tell you, the boys are getting bitter against you independents in this fight. You have no business to stand out against the union.” Ann recoiled before a certain sav- agery in his voice, and, with her hand on the latch of the door, answered very slowly: “You interested me, I ad- mit. You’re very amusing at this mo- ment, but you have no reason, no right, to say that I gave you the slightest en- couragement toâ€"to take this attitude toward me. It is the baldest presump- tion on your part.” He was too keen not to perceive his advantage. “No woman can play with me and not get cinched at some part of the game.” “What do you mean ?” “You know what I mean.

He moaned. “Oh, dear, I’m so hot.” The voice of his anguish stung Ann to the soul. With a sign to Nora, commanding silence, she closed the door in the hope that no sound from the burning mine would penetrate to the bedside. “Go. I am not afraid,” she com- manded. “Only remember your first duty is here.” “I do not forget that," he answered. But even as he was collecting his outer clothing and his medicines Raymond flung the door open and entered. His hands were blackened and bleeding, his head was bare, and on his face was a look that thrilled the girl. “Doctor, three wounded men are coming up the hill. They must be made comfortable. Ann, you would better go back to Kel- ly’s. These victims must be sheltered here, and they are not pleasant to see.” As she watched and waited the day came leisurely. laggardly, over the hills and swarms of excited men and slattern women poured from their shacks and tents and holes in the rocks to acquire in detail the °news or this midnight assault on the leaders of the independents. To do them justice. even the most virulent unionists were for the. moment moved to sympathetic de- nunciation. The destruction of prOper- Nora hurried back to her cabin, while Braide dropped some helpful drug upon the boy’s tongue. When his patient had grown quiet the young physician said: “If you are not afraid, I will go down. Some one may be hurt and my help re- quired.” Ann felt herself diminishing in pow- er and importance as he spoke. His voice came from the man’s worldâ€" harsh, inflexibleâ€"but she uttered a pro- testâ€"“Louis!" “As soon as we know the men are alive I will come and tell you,” he promised. ' ~ Once outside the door the women could see the flames growing each mo- ment in power, licking with avid tongues at the confused mass of splin- tered beams, and on the curtain of red light the forms of Kelly and Raymond played! in silhouette as they strove furi- ously against the destroyer. Their workmen soon joined them, and each moment some hastening rescuer hur- tled past the open door and as he ran cursed in bitter frenzy. His face softened and his hand went to his brow. “I forgot: you are right: we must not endanger him. I will have the men'taken to the other cabin.” “Are the men in the mine all dead 2’” “We can’t tell. The engineer and some of the men on the dump. were warned and escaped. The rest are be- low and out of our reach. We are working desperately to subdue the flames, but we are almost helpless for lack of water.” ~ “It is horrible!” His voice was very quiet as he said, “Munro shall answer for this!” “Did he do it?” . “He did not preVent- it!” He lifted his eyes to the sky. “It will soon be light, and then we can see to work.” “Ann!” called Louis from the bed. Faint as it was, the girl heard his cry and hurried to his side. “Yes, I’m here, laddie. What do you want? How do you feel?” He turned to leave without further explanation, but Ann called to him, “Send us word when you can, won’t you ‘2” So much Ann heard before the sound of their feet died away down the path. The sleepers in the bunk house began to rumble and clatter about on the bare floors. One by one they emerged, slamming the door behind them. Then the girl recognized Kelly’s great voice. He was calling as he ran, “Rob, are ye there?” “Yes; I’m rousing the boys." ' “It’s the shaft house.” “It looks that way.” _ “And the men. lad: the men!” “I don’t know, Matt. I’ve just got on my feet.” L Ann heard his bloWs upon the door or the other cabin as he called: “Boys, roll out! The power house is blown up! The men are in the mine! Quick, out with you! Buckle your guns!” “Oh, no!” cried Ann. “They wouldn’t do that. They daren’t do that.” “That’s what they’ve done,” he hit- terly assured her. Then a thought en- tered his mind which st-ycgered him. “The menâ€"the men were ..2 the mine!” he shouted and rushed into the dark- ness. It was exactly 2 o’clock when a single gunshot rang out sharply, like the voice 0! a sentinel questioning the silent night. As the girl listened tense- ly, three others, deeper throated. sn- swered in quick succession. Then silence again intervened tor a moment, only to be torn by a tusillade, a rat- tat-tat of assault which brought Braids to his feet. Ann hurried to Raymond, calling sharply, “Rob. they are shooting! Don’t you hear them? Quick! Quick l” Raymond rose to his test dimly and looked at her hiankly, the mist of sleep thick in his brain. Other shots and cries followed, and though taint and far they cleared his vision. Catching a belt of cartridges from the wall and turning to Braide he sternly asked. “Can you shoot?” Before Braide could answer another shrill chorus of yells, fierce as the out- cry of wolves. arose, a vivid light filled the room, and a second later a dull concussion shook the. earth be- neath their feet. Ann shrank and cowered, but Raymond, menacingly quiet. remarked: “Well, our turn has come.

Did you hear that the sheriff had arrived?” PSYCHINE The sheriff had, indeed, stolen a march on Skytown and was only wait- ing for daylight to discover his enemy. This was his capital mistake. Had he pushed against the enemy at that mo- ment, with Munro and his men still on a wild goose chase down the opposite canyon, he might have won the hill in a bloodless charge, but even as he dal- lied the vedettes came toiling up the trail from the south, weary, but full of fight, and lined out on the northern slope with the tort at their backs. And so at last the two forces of disorderâ€" of passion and prejudiceâ€"were set face to face. Battle was now inevitable. “No, but the fire is out, and we have cleared the mouth of the shaft. The first level is blocked with rocks and beams. The murderers must have low- ered a bomb into the mine with delib- erate intent to kill.” “I am very glad. to hear that. What of those in the mine? Are they re- leased?” CHAPTER YXV. T sunrise Raymond reported to Ann, his face a little softened. “The dynamiter Baker shot has died, but our men are going to live, the doctor says.” “Where is Jack Munro?” timorous people asked. “Where are the ve- dettes ?” No one seemed to know, and the oficers of the union were in a panic. Instantly the throng of idle sight- Ieers swept back toward the town, leaving not so much as a word of well wishing to stand In their places. The ruin of the Kelly mine became a small thing to them, now that the real battle was on. the word a: a leader to search out and lynch those who laid the train and fired the fuse, but to all of these Ray- mond gave the same word at com- mand, “Save the men below.” On the heels of this tumult, as if to pile Pelion on Ossa, messengers came shouting through the sunrise: “The deputies have come!

Wait till the militia takes possession” _ Reporters drifted up, made hasty notes and passed on, lured by the more important material disclosed in the op- position of ranked and ready warriors on the hill. Only Dolan stayed, eager and sympathetic, fetching coflee from the cook house and lending such other aid as he could, so deeply concerned with this tragic deed that he seemed wastefully negligent of his own stairs. Seizing an opportunity for a private word, he began, in a low voice: “Bob, I know who led this thing. The union had nothing to do with it. It was done by a lot at Curran’s spittoon cleaners. The fellow that Baker killed is from the Springs. I’ve seen him around Raymond was in no mood to respond to humor. “Very well. Say to him that when I have dug my men out I will come to him,” and something in the tone of this answer stopped the grin on the messenger’s face. Brown, with true cowboy unconcern, grinned and said: “Well, you see. Rob. Jack’s busy Just now. They’s a ball on and he’s floor manager for our side.” To this messenger Raymond said: “Tell Jack I want to see him at the earliest moment. This is not a matter for long range adjustment. I want to talk with him." Munro sent a letter by Frank Brown wherein he said, "I can’t leave hereâ€"- the attack may begin at any momentâ€" but I am on the trail, and when I dis- cover the scoundrels I will deliver them to justice." have rescued my men I will demand that the otficers of the union have something to do with finding the bye- nas that did do it.” He was indeed badly needed at the mine, for only the men or the second shift and a few of the crews of Reese Earle remained to help. Each inde- pendent mine was held to be in equal danger and to require the services of its most resolute men, and, besides, the certainty of a battle had drawn away the more excitable even of their own men. Kelly was working like a Titan, and his presence, his concentration of efl'ort, inspired every man to his best. Munro is lntrenched, and they V as challenging each other like crowds 0t schoolboys.
