Donovan's attention was so cen tered upon Bruce that he was un aware of the entrance ot a third actor on the scene. But Bruce saw. Pierre's face was distorted with horror. He crouched on the rock wllh every muscle tense while sneer terror held him motionless. Who shall attempt to say what thoughts flashed through the tor tured brain of Bruce Carey at this dramatic development? Did he feel relief believing that Pierre had arrived in time to save him? Did he consider Pierre an additional danger? Did be think that what ever the outcome, Donovan would not dare to do tbe thing he threatened? Or did be deliberately move to end bis own torment by taunting the man to the point ot killing? With an Insane laugh, Bruce de fiantly lifted the canteen to bis Hps. Pierre tried to sbout but no sound Issued. He could not move. He knew that Bruce saw him and won dered why he showed no surprise. As Bruce lifted the canteen be saw the other man bring his gun up In to position. Suddenly whatever It was that held blm let go, and with no conscious muscular effort he tbrew himself upon the man who was about to kill. Tbe roar of the Run waB In his ears even as the fury of bis attack bore the one who had fired It to the ground. The gun itself fell several feet away. Bruce twisted half around, tbe can teen fell from bis band, and the bank clerk went down in a writh ing heap. While the two men who knew not that they were father and son were locked In a desperate struggle, Bruce Carey died. And the canteen emptied its precious contents Into tbe desert sand. The good villagers of Orchard Hill, had they witnessed that com bat, would bave said that this young man who fought his desper ate antagonist with such unfalter ing courage was a new Pierre Donovan. Orchard Hill had known a gentle, Imaginative lad who was dubbed "mamma's boy" and "sissy." They had known a soda fountain clerk who amused them and who, as a would-be actor, was the Joke of the community. But Orchard Hill never dreamed that a Pierre Donovan whom they did not know was merely acting these parts much as be dreamed of acting on the stage. In short. Orchard Hill had mistaken the character pre sented by the actor for the charac ter ot the actor himself. But this was not a new Pierre Donovan It was the same Pierre that his mother, Harriet Noel, and old Antonio Latour knew acting a different role which he had sud denly been called upon to play. And Pierre, himself, was con scious of this sudden change in characters. He had not thought highly of that soda Jerk who was so afraid In the desert: he bad not enjoyed the part. And in that moment when he looked upon the scene enacted by Bruce, and that other man, and-felt the Impending traeedv. he had known that he must play another part. The fright ened soda Jerk was left, as it were, to nerlsh miserably In the desert, but Pierre Donovan, Harriet Noel's son. lived. And be bad thrown him self into this new role with all the genius and greatness of his arllst soul that Tony says he Inherited from his actress mother. This character which Pierre now played had no sense of tear. In a cold fury, with a strength which was more than merely physical, and with his brain working calmly as It be were rehearsing a part, he fnna-ht to stain the mastery of mis one who sought bis lite. More than once he felt himself perilously near defeat, but the clean bodily strength of the younger man began to ten Pierre saw fear come Into the eyes o; his nearly exhausted opponent Then the end. For a moment Pierre stood over the man who lay unconscious at his feet. Than he ran to Bruce. Kneeling beside tbe body, he tried desperately to discover some sign ot lite. When he could not he still knelt as it be too bad received a mortal hurt. He raised his head and looked ubout wonderlngly at Mother Moun tain rising Into the sky: at the stunted desert vegetation. He looked at the canteen lying on Its side and the dark moist spot on the ground which the water had made. inen he saw something else. The man he knew as Colorado Bill was creeping toward that gun which lay some distance away where It had fallen at the beginning of their struggle. Pierre leaped to his feot. The other made a desperate effort, but as his fingers touched the weapon smashing blow from Pierre stretched him again unconscious. This time when the man regained his senses . he saw Pierre sitting calmly on a rock with the gun in his hand, watching. For a long minute they looked at each otjer without a word; then the man, getting to his feet, spoke: "Who are you?" "I came to take Bruce back to Ann," said Pierre 'calmly. "You have killed blm." He was going to leave me here in the desert without water," re turned the other. "I shot him In self-defense." Pierre pointed to the canteen and the dark moist spot on the ground. You see what happened?" ' "Yes." said the other. "I see." "I was behind the rock there," said Pierre, "and I heard Bruce tell you about the bank money and tbe cashier. It Is better that Bruce should go like this, I guess, tban: that be. should be taken back home to prison, or to be hung for mur der. You are the man who got Bruce so Interested in a gold mine out here, I suppose?" "For God's sake, who arc you?" "I'm Pierre Donovan." "Pierre Donovan!" ' "Yes," said Pierre. "I came here to find Bruce. He left Ann because he thought she was having a love affair with some one else. I did not know about this other thing. Ann doesn't know about it either. I can't take Bruce home now." He looked toward the dead man. Tben he added: "But I can take you to Red Butte and turn you over to the law for this murder. And I am going to take the money back to the bank and get Ann's father out of Jail." "So you are Pierre Donovan?" "Yes, I am Pierre Donovan, You are Colorado Bill, I suppose?" Have you any water?"- the man bsked suddenly. "Yes, a little. Not enough for two, but we must make It do. We must start back to Dripping Spring at once." Again he looked toward tbe dead man as If considering what to do. V ' I only gave him what he de served," said the otheri "You heard bow be was leaving his wife's father an Innocent man to hang or go to prison for lite. Besides 1 shot him in self-defense. If I were to try to get away with all the water and leave you to die in the desert you would kill me, wouldn't you?" "Yes," Bald Pierre grimly. "If you try anything like that I shall kill you." 'Well, tben, wby accuse me of murder?" "You got Bruce Into this. It It hadn't been for your tall- about the millions he could make In this mine It he could get hold of a little capital, Bruce would never have though), ot leaving Ann or taking that bank money. You murdered Bruce Carey when yon made him money-mad, and I am going to see that you bang tor iu I owe It to Ann." ' "You won't help Ann that way. It you turn this money back to tbe bank, you'll have to tell how you got It, won't you?" "I'll have to tell them something, I suppose." "Yes. and it you turn me over to the Bherltf in Bed Butte I'll tell how Bruce Carey murdered the cashier. I don't think It will make Ann any happier to know that her husband was a tblef and a murderer and that he was ready to let her own father be hung In order to cover up his crimes." rCetnu!.

TO F IN FAMILY AUTOS WILL BE STOPPED Fire Chief Roy Elliott and George Preacott. city traffic off leer, .Issued a warning today to all citizens of Med ford that the atate law governing traffic to fires will be stringently en forced In the future. The rush of cars to the see no of the fire Sunday night brought the realization to the officers that the local population la apparently Ignor ant of the law and a copy ot It la therefore printed, as follows: . "It shall be unlawful for the driver of any vehicle other than one on official business to follow any fire apparatua traveling in response to a fire alarm, closer than 500 feet, or to drive into or park such vehicle with in the block where fire apparatua has stopped In answer to a fire alarm, or within three blocks of a point where a fire la in progress." In case of turning on the second alarm the fire department frequently finds it difficult to get the trucks Into the fire area because of parked cars, chief Elliott said this morning. The drivers ot these can are not only interfering with the work of the fire department, but endangering their own machines. If the fire department had not been reinforced Sunday night. Chief El liott explained, the trucks could no. have entered the necessary territory. The traffic officers are cooperating with the fire department in a au preme effort to protect property by eliminating all obstacles to proper working of the department in an swer to alarms. Chief Elliott la also urging all per sona setting bonfires to use every precaution to prevent spread of flames. After August 10, he announc ed this morning, no more permlta will be issued because of the exces sively dry weather which, haa prevailed. DESCHUTES STEELHEAD IT THE DALLES. Ore., Aug. B.
