At "Robbers' Roost" Fair explains the situation to Stella, now eighteen years old. She does not want to leave Fair, for whom she has the affection of a daughter. Jim Barker, sheriff anl aspirant for Stella's hand, directs Fair to run a shipment of arms Into Mexico. CHAPTER III r Continued Fair frowned. "I don't like that lie said hesitantly. "Does sound like a bid, don't It? But I reckon It waa Just a warnin'. 'We're enemies,' he goes on. 'You an' I and Fair are Just meetln' now under a flag of truce for a particular purpose.

"I'd do a lot more for Bob's sake," he muttered. "Bob's sake!" Fair stared at the boy. "You, too, Jack?" he said, sadly. Green nodded. "Yes I Me, too," he answered. Impulsively Fair held out his hand. "We're going to miss her, Jack," he said. "But It's for her good." ; Green took the hand. "Yes," he said. "It's for her good.

But Fair could not find her, of course; and for some time lie was unable to discover where she bad gone. Her horse was In the stable (she had ridden Charley Harris horse) ; and the sentries at the exit swore that she bad not gone out that way. Deeply alarmed at last, Fair spread the alarm; and In time learned that Charley, whom lie had supposed gone with the whisky runners, was sick In tamp. And the discovery that some one riding Charley's horse had gone with Wade seemed to explain what bad happened. This discovery comforted Fair considerably, for be knew that more than half the men In Wade's party were very friendly to the girl, and be was entirely sure that they would not let her come to any barm. The thought of Barker, of course, occurred to him; but be speedily dismissed It feeling sure that the sheriff would not risk a showdown under such circumstances. Stella, he decided, was safe, unless something went wrong at the border crossing; and this was Improbable.
