"All the better; I'll be on band to help. Hut they're less likely to boll In ou you through n locked door." "Hut your daughter? It will alarm her." "She'll bo In tho other house, and, besides, she'd feel easier if you are In uiy place. She's all wrought up by tho attack on yon." Itoss turned to bis prisoners. "Fol low Mrs. Weiherford and-eyos front!" "You needn't worry about me," said Joe, "I won't run." "I dou't Intend to give you n chance,"' replied Itoss. Kdwnrds Boomed to have lost in both courage and physical stature. lie slouched along with slnillllng step, bis head bent and his face pale. Itoss was now profoundly sorry for him, so ut terly craven and broken was bis look. As Ross brought bis two prisoners to tho Weiherford House Loo was waiting on the porch of the hotel, tense with excitement, straining her ears and eyes to see what was taking place. The night bad started with a small sickle of moon, but this had dropped below the range, lenvlng the street dark save where the lights from the windows of the all night eating houses and saloons lay out upon the walk, nnd while she stood peering out the sound of rancorous bowling and shrill whooping came to ber ears with such suggestion of ferocity that she shiv ered. A few of the hotel guests bad gone to bed, but tho women were up, ex cited nnd nervous, starting at every fresh outburst of whooping, knowing that their sons or husbands were out In the street "to see the fun" nnd that they might meet trouble. At last I.ee discerned ber mother re turning from llalsey's, followed by three men. Withdrawing from the lit tle poivh whereon she bad been stand ing, she re-eutored the bouse to meet ber mother In the hall. "Where Is Mr. Cnvanagh?" she asked. "Out in the dining room. You see, Mike Ilalsey is no kind of use. He vamoosed and left Itoss down there nlone with his two prisoners and tho lights likely to bo turned out on him, so 1 offered the caffy as n calaboose. They are sure In for a long nnd tedi ous ulght." Loo was alarmed at her mother's ap poarauce, "You must go to bed. You look ghastly." "I reckon I'd better lay down for a little while, but I can't sleep. Itoss may need me. There Isn't a man to help him but me, and that loafer Ital ian! is full of gall, lie's got It In for Ross and will make trouble If he can." "What can we do?" "Shoot!" replied l.l;-.o. with dry brev ity. "I wouldn't mind a chance to plug some of the sweet citizens of this town. I owe them one or two." With this sentence in her oars I.ee Virginia went to ber bed. but not to slumber. Her utter Inability cither to control her mother's action or to Influ ence that of the mob added to her uneasiness. The singing, shouting, trampling of the crowd wont on, and once a group of men halted just outside ber win dow, and she heard Nelll Italian! noisily, dnmkenly arguing as to the most effective method of taking the prisoners. "Come on, boys!" said Itallard, bis voice filled with reckless determina tion. "Lot's run htm." As they passed the girl sprang up and went to ber mother's room to warn her of the threatened attack. Lire was already awake and calmly loading a second revolver by the light of the electric bulb. A jarring Mow was hoard. "Hear that? They're breaking In!" said I.Ue. She started to leave the room. liii Leo stopped going?' "To help Itoss. Here!" She thrust the handle of a smaller weapon Into Loo's hand. "Ed Wethcrford's girl ought to bo able to take caro of her self. Come on!" With a most uuherolc horror be numbing ber limbs, Lee followed her mother through the hall. The sound of shouts and the trampling of feet could be beard, and she cnino out Into tho restaurant Just In time to photo graph upon her brain a scene whose significance was at once apparent. On a chair between his two prisoners and confronting llallard at the bead of n crowd of frenzied villains stood the ranger, a gleaming weapon In his hand, a look of resolution on bis face. What ho had said or what be in tended to do sho did not learn, for her mother rushed nt the Invaders with the mad bravery of a she bear. "(let out of here!" she snarled, thrusting her revolver Into tho very mouth of the leader. They all fell back lu astonishment and fear. Ross leaped to hor side. "Leave thorn to mo!" he said. "I'll clear tho room." "Not ou your life! This Is my house. I have tho right to smash the fools." And she beat thorn over the heads with hor pistol barrel. Recognizing that sho was minded to kill, they retreated over the threshold. nnd Ross, drawing the door close be hind them, turned to tlnd Lee Virginia confronting Kdwnrds, who had at tempted to escape Into the kitchen. Tho girl's face was white, but the eye of her revolver stared straight and true Into her prisoner's face. With a bound Ross seized him nnd flung him against the wall. "Got back there!" he shouted. "You must take your medlclno with your boss." The old fellow hurriedly replaced his rugged hat and, folding bis arms, sank back into his chair with bowed head, while Llzo turned upon Joe Gregg. "What did you go Into this kind of deal for? You knew what the game laws was, didn't you? Your old dad Is all for state regulation, nnd here you are breaking a state law. Why don't you stand up for tho code like a sport?" Joe, who had been boasting of the smiles he had drawn from Lee, did not relish this tongue lashing from ber mother; but, assuming a careless air, be said, "I'm nil out of smokes; get mo a box, that's a good old soul." Llzo regarded him with the expres slou of one uouplused. "Y'ou Impu dent little cub!" she exclaimed. "What you need Is a booting!" The ranger addressed himself to Lee. "I want to thank you for n very op portune Intervention. I didn't know you could handle a gun so neatly." She flushed with pleasure. "Oh, yes, I can shoot. My father taught me when I was only six years old." As she spoke Ross caught the man Edwards studying them with furtive glance, but upon being observed bo resumed his crouching attitude, which concealed his face beneath the rim of his weather worn hat. It was evident that ho was afraid of being recognized. He had the slinking air of tho convict, nnd his form, so despairing In Its lax lines, nppen led to Lee with eveu great er poignancy thau his face. "I'm sor ry," she said to him, "but It was my duty to help Mr. Cnvanagh." He glanced up with a quick sldewlso slant. "That's nil right, miss. I should tiik kyh or nun kkvolvkh staked SrKAUlUT INTO HKR VRlSONKIi'S FACK. have had sense enough to keep out of this business." He spoke with difficul ty, and bis voice was hoarse with emotion. Llze turned to Lee. "The doc said 'no liquor.' but I guess bore's whore I draw one. I feel faint." Ross hurried to her side, while youwtj Gregg tendered a handsome flask. "Ilere'g something." Lire put It away. "Not from you. Just roach under my desk, Ross; you'll find some brandy there. That's It," sho called as he produced a bottle. Clutching it eagerly, she added, "They say it's poison, but It's my meat to night." Little remained of the woman In Line, and the old sheep bonier eyed her with furtive curiosity. "I was afraid you'd shoot,' Lite ex plained to Ross, "and I didn't want yon to muss up your hands on the dirty loafers. I had the right to kill. They were trespassers, and I'd 'a' done it too." "I don't think they Intended to ac tually assault me," he said, "but it's a bit discouraging to find the town so Indifferent over both the breaking of tho laws and the doings of a drunken mob. I'm afraid the most of them are a long way from law abiding peoplt yet." Joe, who did not like the position In which he stood as respecting Lee, bens made an offer of aid. "I don't suppose Mm my word is uny good now, but If you'll lot me du It I'll go out und roti.id up Judge Hlgley. I think I know where he is." lo this Llze objected. "You enn't (lo that, Ross; you bettor hold the fort hero till morning." Lee wa.s rat her sorry, too, for young l.regg, who bore his buffeting with the Imperturbable face of I he heroes of bis class, lie had gone Into this en terprise with much tlio same spirit in which he bad stolen gates and mis placed signs during bis brief college career, ami he was now disposed (in the presence of a pretty girl) to carry it out with undiminished impudence. "It only menus a tine, imyway," be as sured himself. ('nvniiiigh did not trust Gregg, either, and us this was the llrst time he had been called upon to arrest men for killing game out of season he could not afford to fall of any precaution. Tired nnd sleepy as bo was he must remain ou guard. "But you nnd your daughter must go to bed at once," ho urged. Llzo, under the spur of her dram. talked on with bitter boldness, berat ing the town and Its people. Gregg listened to her with expressionless vis age, Ills eyes dreamily fixed on Lee's face, but bis companion, tlio old herd er, seemed to palpitate with shame nnd fear. And Itoss bud the feeling at; tho moment Mint In this ragged, un kempt old hobo was the skeleton of one of tho old time heroes. He was wasted with drink and worn by wind and rain, but he wus very far from being commonplace. CHATTER XII. THE LAW STEPS IN. RE they come again!" called .ize as, the hurry of feet along the walk threatened A A. at another attack, Itoss Cava- uagh ngalu drew his revolver and at guard, and Llae, recovering stood hor own weaiion, took a place by his side. With the strength of n bear the new assailant shook the bolted door. "Let nie In!" he roared. It's dad!" called young Gregg. "Go away, you chump! " "Let me lu or I'll smash this door!" retorted Gregg. You smash that door, old Bullfrog," announced Llze, "nnd I'll carry one of your lungs away. If you want to get in here you hunt up tho Judge of this town nnd the constable." Tho old rancher muttered a fierce curse, while Ross explained the situa tion. "I'm as eager to get rid of these culprits as any one cuu be, but they must be taken by proper authority. Uring a writ from the magistrate and you may have them and welcome." Gregg wont away without further word, and Llze said: "He'll find Hlg ley If he's In town, nnd he Is In town, for I saw lilm this nfternoou. He's hiding out to save himself trouble." Leo Virginia, with an understanding of what the ranger had endured, ask ed: "Can't I get you something to eat? Would you like some coffee'"' "I would Indeed," he answered, and his tone pleased her. Sho hurried away to get It, while Cnvanagh disposed his prisoners be hind a couple of tables in the corner. "I guess you're lu for a night of it," he remarked grimly, "so make your selves ns comfortable us you can. Perhaps your experience may be a discouragement to others of your kind." Lee returned stum with a pot of fresh coffee and some sandwiches, the sight of which roused young Gregg to the Impudent remark: '"Well, notice that! And we're left out!" But Ed wards shrank into the shadow, as if the light hurt him. Ross thanked Lee formally, but there was more than gratitude lu his glance, and she turned away to hide hor face from other eyes. Strange place It was for the blooming of love's roses, but they were lu her cheeks as sho faced her mother, and Llzo, with fresh acknowledgment of her beauty, broke out ngalu: "Well, this settles It. I'm going to get out of this town, dearie. I'm done. This ends the cat tle country for mo. I ought to have turned you back the day you lauded here." The feet halted. A sharp rap sound ed on the door. "Who's there?" demanded Llze. "The law!" replied a wheezy voice. "Open in the name of the law!" "It's old Hlgley," announced Llze. "Open the door, Ross." "Come iu. law," she called ironical ly as the justice appeared. "You look kind of mice eaten, but you're all the law this blame towu can sport. Come in and do your duty." Hlgley (a tall man with a rusty brown beard, very much on his dig nity) entered the room, followed by a short, bullet headed citizen in a rum pled blue snlt with a big star ou his breast. Behind on the sidewalk Bal lard aud a dozen of his gaug could be seen. Sam (Jroge, the moving cause or this resurrection of law and onler, fol lowed the constable. Higley opeued upon CaVanaih. "Well, sir, what's all this row? What's your charge agaiust these men!" Killing mountain sheep. I caught them with the head of a big ram upon their pack." "Make him show his commission." shouted Grecg. "He's never been com missioned. He's no game warden." Hlgley hemmed. "I ah oh, his au thority Is all right. Sam: I've seen It. j If he can prove that these men killed the sheep we'll have to act." Cavanagh briefly related how he had captured the men on the trail. "The head of the ram Is at the livery barn with my horse." "How about that?" asked Hlgley. turning to Joe. "I guess that's right," replied the in solent youth. "We killed the sheep all right." Hlgley was In a corner. He didn't like to offend Gregg, and yet the ense was plain, lie met the issue blandly. ''Marshal, take these men Into cus tody " Then to Itoss: "We'll roileve you of your caro, Mr. Cavanagh. You may appear tomorrow fit 0." It was a farcical ending to a very ar duous thirty-six hour campaign, and Ross, feeling like a mno who, having rolled a huge stone to the top of u hill, bus been ordered to drop It, said, "I Insist on the maximum penalty of the law, Justice Hlgley, especially for this man!" Ho Indicated Joe Gregg. , "No more sneaking, Hlgley," added Llze, uttering her distrust In blunt phrase. "You put those men through or I'll make you trouble." Hlgley turned and with unsteady solemnity saluted. "Four not my gov ernment, madam," said he and so made exit. After the door had closed behind thorn Cavanagh bitterly complained. "I've delivered my prisoners over into tho hands of their friends. I feel like n fool. What assurance have I that they will over be punished?" 'You have Illgley's word," retorted Llzo, with ironic Inflection. "He'll tine 'cm as much as $10 apiece and confiscate the head, which is worth fifty." No matter what happens now, you ve done your duty," added Lee Virginia with intent to comfort lilm. Llzo. now that tho stress of the bat tle was over, fell a-tremblo. "I reckon I'll have to go to bed," she admitted. I'm all iu. This night service is wearing." She did Indeed resemble the wreck of a woman as she lay out upon her bod, her biuuls twitching, her eyes closed, and Ross wns profoundly alarmed. "Y'ou need the doctor," be urged. "Let me bring lilm." "No," sho said huskily, but with de cision; "I'm only tired. I'll be all right soon. Send tho people away. Tell 'em to go to bed." For half nn hour Cavanagh remain ed In tho room waiting to see if the doctor's services would be required, but nt the end of that time, ns she had apparently fallen nsloep, he rose and tiptoed out Into the hall. Lee followed, aud they faced each other iu such intimacy as the ship wrecked feel after the rescue. When they were quite alone Lee said, "You must not go out into the streets tonight." "There's no danger. These hoodlums would not dare to attack me." "Nevertheless ymi shall not go!" she declared. "Wait a moment," she com manded and re-entered her mother's room. As he stood there at Llze Wether ford's door and his mind went back over her brave deed, which had gone far to atone for her vulgarity, his re spect for ber deepened. Leo Virginia opened the door and stopped out close beside him. "Her breathing is quieter," she will pered. "I think she's going to sleep. It's been a terrible night! You must be horribly tired. I will find you some place to sloop. Dense don't go till aft er breakfast," she smiled wanly. "I may need you." Ho understood. "What did the dot tor say?" "He said mother was In a very low state of vitality and that she must be very careful, which was easy euough to say. Hut bow can I get her to rest and to diet? You have seen how little she cares for the doctor's orders. He told her not to touch alcohol." "She is more like a man than a wom an," he answered. She led the way Into the small sit ting room which lay at the front of "WJtUL, NOTICK THAT! AND WZ'KH LITI OCT." the house and directly opposite the door of her own room. It was filled with shabby parlor furniture, and In one corner stood a worn couch. "I'm sorry, but I can offer nothing bet ter," she said. "Every bed is taken, but I have plenty of blankets." There was something delightfully suggestive In being thus waited upon by a young and handsome woman, and the ranger submitted to it with the awkward grace of one unaccustomed to feminine care. They faced each other in silence. each filled with the same delicious sense of weakness, of danger, reluc tant to say good night, longing for the closer touch which dawning love de manded, and yet something In the girl defended her, defeated htm. 'lou must call me if I can be of any help," he repeated, and his Tolce was tremulous with fee'.ing. "I will do so," she answered. Slill they did not part His voice was very tender as he said: "I don't like to see you exposed to such expe riences. It angers me to think that the worst of these loafers, these d-unkea beasts, can glare at you, can speak to you. They have no right to breathe the same air with one like you." She did not smile at this. His voice, his eyes, were filled with the gravity of the lover wIbjso passion Is not hu morous. Against liis training, his Judgment, ho wan being drawn into closer and closer union with this daughter of violence, and ho added, "You may not see mo lu the morn ing." "You must not go without seeing my mother. You must have your break fast with us. It hurt us to think you didn't come to us for slipper." Her words meant little, but tho look in hor eyes, the music in her voice, made hira shiver. He stammered: "1 I must return to my duties tomor row. I should go back tonight." "You mustn't do that. You can't do that. You are to appear before tho judge." He smiled. "That is true. I'd for gotten that." Radiant with relief, she extended ber hand. "Good night, then. You must sleep." He took hor hand and drew her to ward him; then, perceiving both won der and fear In her eyes, ho conquered himself. "Good night," be repeated, dropping her baud, but his voice wus husky with its passion. continued next week SEED CATALOG READY TO MAIL The leading Seed Catalog of 'the Welt Lilly' Catalog.
