he would have been if a dozen of
the roughest men in Calttornia had
assailed him.
There stood . the boyish editor,
motionless a the wall, and ttto

the breadth of a hair. Darrell held

"Dare to touch that revolver, or

said Darrell, "ami I'll make a red

Wolf, trembling from head to
toot, glanced once more at his re
volver, but did nut dara to raise
his hand. His face was pule and
his lips were dry.
"Do yon hcante?" derruwled
DafreUj sternly. f '
"Yes, yes, don't shoot," tail

Tamer than a whipieil cur, tlie
ruffian walked toward the door,
and Darrell, springing over the
counter, was a', his heels in an in

you.".;-B ' -.--.
Meekly olieying the imperative,
orders of the "youth, Wolf moved;
slowly out of the room into the
corridor.
"He careful : don't let that ana
go off," Wolf stammered, as In-
reached the head of the stairs,
At this moment the clamors of
the impatient en wd below arow
with terrible distinctness, and on
shrill voice was heard to say
"Hurry up, Wolf, why don't you

Exasperated beyoml measure, he
was on the poiut of turning back at
the risk of his life ; for after all his
bradgadocio how could he face those
below, disarmed awl chased out of
tlie building by tho puny boys ho
had intended so terribly to chastise?
Hut Darrell was after him, and
with one vigorous kick sei.t him
bounding down the wooden stairs,
with a thundering clatter, and hil
ling over the doorsill, the de'eatcl
bully actually tumbled out upon
the street before he Could recover
his equilibrium.
"Hello! how's this? What's

as the dnadnl man reappeared in
this undignified sLajv, without hav

"Why, I simply kicked him down
stairs that's what's the matter,"
responded the boyish voice of Dar
rell at the tup; "and if he comes
up here again I won't let him off
so easy. jo not heatraiu ot turn ;
I took all his weapons from him."
Wolf struggled to his feet, rub

a ludicrous aptearauce that he was
