They saw him crouching, gripping the top rail of the fence with both hands. The next moment he was plung ing through the dust that smoked across the face of the corral. They saw him dodging through It while the wild mare tried to flee from him as though she feared tooth and claw. He caught her like that, too. As she swerved out of a corner he leaped at her with hands and feet She soared. He appeared gripping the pommel with one hand, the rest of him streaming upwards. But a moment later he was In the saddle. The watchers were frozen In place because It was not a riding contest There was death in the air. Tombstone Joe leaned on the fence with his face dripping blood and black, clotted dust. The yelling bad ended. Each cowpuncher rotalned his past position. One was on one knee. Another, on tiptoe, gripped the top of a post and seemed to be yelling, though no sound came. Another held his hat rigidly above his head, but forgot to wave It. And from the veranda It could be aeen that the head of Montana, at every Impact wavered crazlly up and down. Hia chin was beating on hli breast At every lurch of the mare -he seemed about to shoot from the saddle, but something stuck him In place. Luck, men might have called It But It was not luck. The man or the mare would fall dead, surely. Then she staggered and stood till, her legs braced wide apart After a time, Montana got slowly from the saddle. He slid down. His face waa crimson. Blood from his mouth, his ears, his nose had cov ered bis face with a red mask. He felt his way to the head of the mare. He put his arm around her neck. He began to stroke her face. And she, with half-closed eyes of exhaustion, leaned slowly against him. He pulled out his bandana. In stead of drying his own frightful face, he began to wipe the slobber and the froth from the muzzle of Sally. IT was only a few days after this that Mateo Rubrlz sat in a can tlna In "Greaser Town," the Mexi can adjunct of Bentnnvllle, near the Lavery ranch. Good Brother Pas cual had left the table as soon as he had finished his dish of hot trljoles. There remained only Mateo Rubrlz and a sallow need man with high, squared shoulders such as one ex pects to see only In a soldier. LONG'S DENUNCIATION BATON ROUOE, U.. Jan. 30.

ROMAMCC BY EVAN EVANS He looked like an army officer apd a consumptive. He wore the garb of a prosperous Mexican charro, all yellow leather and a starring of silver that brightened and waned as he turned In his chair or lifted bis glass to drink the green-white tequila. He was Jack Lascar. Everyone south of the border knew blm, and everyone north of the river knew blm; but no one knew blu national ity. Borne people said that be was in fact a Lascar. They looked at the yellow whites of his eyes and said that. He carried with blm an air of amused superiority. He retained tbls air as he said: "If I walk Into the street and tell people that Mateo Rubrlz le In here if 1 tell the gringos that what'li they do to you, Rubrlz?" Mateo Rubrlz grinned. A stiff wave of flesh rose up from his cheeks and almost obscured hla eyes. He leaned forward. "Your father " he began. After that, bis voice was so soft that Jack Lascar bad to bend bis head to bear the words. A dreamy expression came over the face of Lascar. "Thai's wbat I always wanted to know," said Lascar. "I always want ed to know who cut him. down. It was you?" "Who else would have dared?" asked Rubrlz, leaning back, with twQ-handed gesture of triumph. Ths Kid pulled out hit bandana. Jack Lascar grunted. "Then whal do you want?" he asked. "I want you to accept a favor,' said the Mexican. "Humph I" grunted Lascar again "Well?" "You bate one man a good deal.' "Do 1?" "The Montana Kid?" TACK LASCAR turned a little ll J his chair, quickly. He glanced over his shoulder at the door. He looked at the window, also. Then hi finished the white Are of his tequlli and stared at Rubrlz. , "Damn him!" said Jack Lascar. "Once, In Nevada, In Carson City, In the Imperial Saloon," began Rubrls, "on a Tuesday morning " "Damn you!" said Lascar. Rubrls leaned back In bis ohalr, He looked, at that moment, like fat, ra'.ber aott man of middle age, a puty creature halt rotted by time. But Jack Lascar knew otherwise. "This Montana Kid," said Rubrls, "Is a man who would come to challenge like a dog to raw meat. Now, It you write out a challenge In English can you write English?" "I write five languages." aald Lascar, slowly, bitterly. "It you wrote out a challenge and nailed It on the post-ofllce notice board, the town would know It. Ths Kid would know It He would come. And the sheriff he Is not In town. The law Is not In town. It Is away for one whole day!" "The Montana Kid would not come!" aald Jack Lascar. "Every, body knows, even the little babies know, that if Montana ever pulls a gun and shoots at anothor man even In self-defense the sheriff will be on his trail with a posse." "No matter what he fears," said Rubrls, "he roars shame more. 1 cannot challenge blm, because cannot appear. But you can chal lenge him. How will they know that Mateo Rubrls lies In hiding beside one of the houses, or Inside a win dow, with a rifle aimed and ready to end the fight before It begins?"
