La Rue, then, must have hit trail from town even before Flick got away with the main posse! Doane was suddenly able to recognize the four riders with La Rue, substantiating his conclusion. The four were those deputised men Flick had pushed on northward, to Maxmilla the four riders City; Doane had discharged from Rancho Hermanos the morning of his arrival, who had later met up with Flick in San Loreto, joining his first posse in search of the girl. Doane gazed at the five men and his lips curled. "We've met buzzards instead of hawks, Monte! The five were edging slowly forward up the floor of the tiny pass, tense in their saddles. The distance lessened. Doane had a single glance at Monte. At his side Monte "Nevaire" rit thoughtfully. snapped Doane. "We give to surrender first." im the chance ife are two against five.

The first taut deadliness of the scene was even intensified. The five did not come forward like one posse approaching other men of the law. Like fire, a new thought snapped in Doane's brain. There was sudden fierce joy in bis burning eyes. His lips bit off words, to the approaching La Rue: "Stop riders where you are!" instant the scene changed.

Shivering as though with palsy, hands with the handsome guns outflung, Monte lunged a pace more and fell half across the down horse. Doane caught at his shoulder to pull him on. A rumbling, great echo growled hoarsely into silence. Suddenly the pass was quiet. The battle had lasted not longer than fifty seconds. A single mounted man was fleeing down the pass, a riderless horse following. The rattle of shod hoofs was the only sound. Silence now on the heels of death! Caught as he was, Doane tugged futilely to pull Monte on to his shel- ter. "Nevaire mind my frien'," muttered Monte. The words came white teeth, through clenched, be ambush?" asked Page Seven spent SurJay a:iJ MonJ.iy in Monte lay still. Now even the clatter of hoofs had ceased. Struggling, teeth gritted, Doane got at his belt and reloaded. Twisting back, he peered over the roan. The mounted man had halted at the turn' of the pass, waiting undecidedly. Doane saw Suarez and the rider fallen across him, the gun that had just become voiceless in the man's hand. At another spot a boot stuck, grotesquely into the air. That might be La Rue. Or again it might not. Doane pulled again at his caught foot, trying to drag it free with the other boot as a lever on the back of the dead roan. The trapped leg was losing feeling. The wound in his thigh had begun to pain and blood was soaking through his clothing. The man down canon might return at any moment. He wondered about Monte. The fallen Monte Garcia did not stir. Doane reached slowly to touch his shoulder a gain-T- hat was when he saw La Rue! At a distance of less than twenty paces Star La Rue's deadly, intense eyes peered over the belly of one of the fallen horses. That instant Doane also knew that Monte Garcia was not dead. For Monte, wounded, the useless guns in his hands, hissed softly: "Down!" The hiss was cut short by the explosion of La Rue's extended weapon. The bullet clipped Doane's skulL He fell back stunned. . . . Time passing might have been a second or a moment.

To expose any part of his body in an attempt to free himself gave opportunity for La Rue to fire again. Or the instant La Rue sensed his plight he would close on him like a trapped animal. There was Monte to consider. To bring battle over the roan's side now would mean certain death to the helpless Monte. Meanwhile the man at the curve of the canon might have the presence of mind to hit for high ground. Seconds of time were suddenly infinitely precious. Lying prone, Doane pried with his free boot against the roan. That was the leg with the bullet wound in the thigh. A soft groan escaped his lips. He pushed with all his strength. The trapped foot gave an inch or two jammed tighter than before. Doane doubled over. With his to fingers and hands he began the pebbles, leg scrape under rocks and sand. He fought silently and desperatedimenly. Seconds took on the time sions of moments. Gradually he was scooping out a tiny depression under the leg. But time was passing. Time! Once more he strained to pull free. Then Monte's soft hiss reached his ears: "Coming! He's coming!" There was maniacal strength in Doane's body. Like a wild thing in a trap, he tore free. La Rue took snap aim at a suddenly exposed arm or shoulder. But Doane was from loose, foot with boot half torn it before him. It was a single gesture that turned mm vn ma crawling, coming up. Gun in hand, crouched, he leaped out! The lightning of two guns came echo as one. It was a single listcrash-inthat roared through the pass, man on the walls.
