' V V 1 - Evor since I had como Into this graveyard town my senses had been abnormally acute. The Impression that I was being watched was at me again, stronger than over. I could have sworn thero was some opu other than myself In the build ing. , . . . . There came a. lull In the roar of the storm, and suddenly, out of tho profound silence, a definite Indoors sound broko on my eardrums. It wasn't tho sound that brought me up rigid, heart pounding In my throat; It , was tho sense of danger, that en mo with it. Homo one was In the room. Why didn't ho de clare himself? Who wus ho? The man who had fired on me In tho canyon ? No, ho could not have got down hero before mo. Dillon, then? . This was morn probnble. Fear held me as In a vice. An unknown, unseen enemy sends tho horrors up nnd down my spine. Moreover, I had no weapon of any sort, whereas HI I Ion would be arm ed. 1 pondered swiftly, desperate ly, and decided on a risky experi ment. Itending double, I picked my way to tho lower end of Qfc bar, knelt behind it, and fumbWul In my pocket for matches. 1 I was determined, to try nnd force my unseen enemy to show his inten tions. Still crouching low, I struck a match nlid held it above tho bar. Crack! Crack! Splinters of glass from the shattered mirror , behind me showered upon my back and head. The double flash had told me that my enemy was posted near the open door. ; . I am no more cowardly than most men, but tho wind of death on my flesh had set my nerves a-'i quiver. My hand feeling about under the bnr encountered a heap of empty beer bottles. I.wtood up noiselessly, bottle In hand, and hurled It In tho direction of tho flash. As tho bottle left my. hand T dropped behind the bar again.' To my joy I heard a grunt, a scorch ing oath, und the crash of glass. - ("rack!- The bar Uvered as the slug plowed Int- "He'll be staking me next," ,'Iected. "If only I had a piston'- he Irony of owning several hundreds of them and being unarmed when I needed ono had not escaped me. I thought of the stair and the gallery above, If I could get up there I might have a better chance. O rasping another beer bolt le, T crept to the stair and started .up It on my toes. Halfway up, the wind dropped for a moment, nnd at precisely thut moment. I stum bled over a sprung board.. The board creaked. Crock! The bottle smashed In my hand. The flash had come from the bottom of the stair. I bounded up to the top. There I listened. He was com ing up at a run. I fled along the gallery until 1 came nearly to the other end. I crept to tho wall, ns Merik as a glass of skimmed milk. Keeping close to the wall, I moved noiselessly down tho gallery, and entered upon the most terrific half hour of my life. The gallery ran around the four walls of the hall. Now I came to the end. Dil lon was somewhera behind mo.
