Terry captures one member of the gang but he refuses to give any Information. Terry and Sue are married la a hasty ceremony and immediately afterward he and Abe set out to find the papers and money belonging to Sue which Terry burled for safety. He broke off abruptly, his howl ol pain blending with the boom of a gun. Instantly Donovan was upon him, bearing him to the ground as Willie turned to cover the startled youth on the horse. The fight was over almost before Sue could wheel around to look. Terry was holding Gillespie helpless while Plyly sprang to pick up the fat mans Willie Andrews came out to take over the first watch. "Any sign of Barlow? he asked loudly, hailing from a little distance in a display of rough tact. "All clear," Terry replied. Did you wear enough clothes? Its going to be pretty chipper tonight."

Ill relieve Andrews at midnight and you kin take over some time before dawn. Terry shook his head. I dont think Ill rest well until I know why our fat friend was so confounded anxious to get hold of those papers. Curiosity comes first, then sleep.' The others seemed to understand. They watched Intently as Sue picked up the packet In question and began to spread Its contents on a hastily repaired table.
