Wesley Edwards and Sidna Alien, members of the clan, have Just been pardoned by Governor Byrd. Politics In Feud. The Edwards and Allen families were Democrats.

There was an explosion below, and a bullet flattened Itself on the rock near Dick. "Thanks for the answer. Brent," was the retort "We can now consider hostilities opened. Look out!" He fired at something that showed white In the dim light of the cave. There was a groan, and the object disappeared from sight. "Close in, men," Dick said coolly, "but don't expose yourselves.

But one advantage was in their favor. They surrounded the mouth of the cave on all sides, and while the enemy was taking a shot at one oi their number the guns of the othcrt could be trained on him.

Their shots soon began to tell, for the explosions from below became less and less frequent. A moan occasionally reached their ears. At least one of the gang had been hit The problem of getting the men out of the cave was a serious one. With night coming on the difficulty of watching and guarding the place would increase. In the course of time they would be starved out, but that might require days and days. "It's only a question of time before we get them," Dick said to Captain Barnett when they withdrew to consider the situation. "There's no fun In starving them out.
