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.

In my pocket for matches. 1 I was

unseen enemy to show his inten

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
