Whitney commented that it Is a good sport for the hunter, but not so good for the huntee, to which Rainsford scornfully asked. "Who cares how a Jaguar feels? At a late hour when Rainsford sat on deck alone amok-inhia last pipe for the night he heard shots in the distance. Yet they were miles at tea. He remembered that tha sailors had been Jittery all day and that thii part of the Caribbean aea had a bad name among seamen.

He has got to be straight goods." "Thats fair, Ruth agreed. I dont know anything about who he is. Maybe hes an outlaw on the dodge. Hes as hard as Iron and he may have gone bad. But theres something clean about him. He wouldnt shoot a man in the back. T d stake everything I had on that Chiswick nodded. I would have said that myself, and Tm not often wrong about a man. When he ran t me with hls gun smoking, I was sure surprised. Maybe youre right, daughter. Hell get a chance to tell his story. "May I ride up to .the with you? Ruth asked. No! he exploded, and slammed fist down on the breakfast-tabl- e to emphasize his decision. You can't go with me. Whats the matter with you, girl? You head for trouble like a thirsty steer for water. First, you run off with a scalawag not worth a hill of beans, then you shoot another and tote him to hospital without asking me a Thats no way for a lady to do.

You fix up thla fried chicken and Til take it down, Lee laid firmly. I aim to be reasonable, but Im through letting you behave so crazy. Ruth gave up. She packed the tobacco, the books, and the food. For Pat she put in a corn-co- b pipe to replace the broken clay one. Knowing her father' Impulsive nature, she was full of misgivings. Over hls shoulder, as he started, he called back a word of reassurance. Dont you worry, daughter. If Pm not going off this Gray can show me hes not a yellow coyote. Ill not harm him.

"I sure dont want to get blasted out of my saddle, he said. The two men worked toward the cabin, using their horses to screen them as much as possible from any sharpshooter who might be in the building or among the rock above. Nobody stirred except themselves. Frank felt a strange prickling sensation run up and down hia spine. Any moment there might come a crash of guns.
