His six shooter spat fire, and Ahibani fell with a groan into the dust 'and lay still. A few minutes afterwards Jim dragged himself painfully out from the building. The \moanny silence was explained. Dead and dying men littered the ground all about the building, and in the dis- tance the remnant of the attacking gangs were galloping into the desert. Contrary to .Tim's instructions, Anne was at her bed-room window now, her white face pressed against the panes. She .saw Jim down below and rushed away to the stairs. But when she reached the - swing doors he had dis- appeared. She ran out across the sand, and there he was, staggering across to the church. She followed him fearfully; she saw him mount the steps rnd enter the little building. Calling his name, she, too, reached the steps, ran up them to (he doorway, and looked into the dim interior. The parson was lying at the foot of the altar, to which he had crawled, badly wounded by a stray bullet. -"Parson! Par.son!" cried Jim brokenly, and went down on his knees ' beside the dying man. ' ' Anne moved forward, sobbing, and 'then the little, wliite-haircd minister -opened his eyes and looked up at Jim, "ktfec^ing - there, and at Anno, standing ' close behind him. '• "My son," he irturmured haltingly, "if -thine heart—is wise—my heart—shall rejoii^e—evermore." "Amen!" said Jim hoarsely. ,'*And-then, as the parson's head fell back, he • looked up at Anne. His face was drawn with suffering, but there was a gre<it Ijght ivi his eyes. . ■ , -ilAnne," he whispered, "from now on we're going straight—together." .."jYf'^. ,J.>1"'',' ^'lo whispered back, and tenderly put both arms round his neck, .while tear_s streamed down her face.

"Sure I'll explain, Cap," Jim answered. "This cayute got his three side-kicks there to take Ginger off the stage. I trailed him here and bust it on him." Cap Rogers looked at him doubtfully. " \Vhat did King want to kidnap Ginger for?" he demanded. "I'll tell you that, dad." It was a girl's voice, and, turning, the rancher saw his daiighter, who had emerged from the cabin a few seconds before. "King had me kidnapped because he wanted to marry me," Ginger said. " Failing that, he planned to hold me till you paid a heavy ransom for my release. And if it hadn't been for Jim " Her father did not wait for her to finish. "Ho had wheeled on Smoky King, who had been dragged to his feet by a couple of deputies, and liis fiery temper threatened to break the bounds of his self-control as he glared at the rogue. " An' I thought you were the best foreman south of the Yoscmite!" he ground out. "You dirty, low-iowri, double-dealin' skunk !" He drew bank his hand for a biov.', but the sheriff' intervened, laying a re- straining grasp on the rancher's wrist. "I wouldn't bother to do that. Cap." he .said. "I reckon this hombre is past sufferin'., ootisiderin'i the hiding he's taken from young Jim Logan." The sheriff was right, for Smoky King could not stand, and hung limply en the arms of the deputies, his head sunk on his breast. C'ap Rogers let his hand fall to his side, and the sheriff spoke to the de- puties. • "Take liim away an' put him with the others," ho ordered, and the cx-foreman was propelled towards the spot where Lew • Larson, Top-Hand Noi-ton. and Slim McGee were standing in forlorn attitudes. The crooks v>ere ta.kon \ip on the saddles of their captors, and the posse was ready to set out on the return jour- ney to Amarillo. Before joining his men, however, the sheriff addressed Rogers again. "Oh, by the way. Cap," he drawled ' Every Tuesday casually, "I don't believe you know it. but this Jim Logan here is "Dave Logan's boy. I lold him when he came to Amarillo that I wouldn't let on, but I guess it's time somebody put . you' wise." Old Rogers was staring at the sheriff. "You don't mean Dave Logan, of the Circle H. on the Sail Joaq\iin?" he exclaimed. "The same." tiie sheriff told him. "This here is his son." C'ap Rogers turned to Jim and hold out his hand. "Say, your dad and I went to school together," he declared. "An* we've been friends ever since, though I ain't .seen him in the last five years. Why didn't you tell me you were Dave's boy?" "Oh, I thought I'd like to make good on my own account, like any ordinary cow hand," Jim said, with a grin. "You see. dad wants me to start managing his ranch for him. but I figured I'd get some \\ide expoiience first." ■"Well, bey." said Cap Rogers. "I reckon I've called you some pretty hard names, but I want to take them back. And I want to tell you that I considei- myself in your debt over Ginger. Now how about hitrin' the trail back to the ranch ?" "Pretty soon I'll be hittin' the trail back to the San Joaquin country. Cap." he observed, "an" if you liadn't any objections I'd like for Ginger to go along with me— .ts Mrs. Jim Logan. Would \;ou mind. Cap, if I tore up that ticket to Carsoi, City and bought Tier one that would take her nearer the Circle H?" "Make it two." said old Roger.s. "Ain't it a father's duty to give away the bride ?" ■ Ho climbed into the .saddle of his bronc and cantered after the posse. Jim and Ginger did not follow him at once, but took the opport\inity to steal a ki.ss. They had not been left entirely alone, however, ior Starlight was in the back- ground, and. moving forward, the pony insistently thrust his sleek muzzle between their faces. ."Starlight says 'time's up.'" Jim aimouncod laughingly, "and what Star- light says goes.'' He lifted Ginger into the saddle, climbed up behind her. and rode in the direction which the posse and Cap Rogers had already taken.
