voice drawled and his eyes lifted to
Hahn's and rested there.
Hahn had been mechanically chew

his cheek muscles bulged more plainly
and the end of his tongue showed
for a second between his lips. His
right hand dropped and he drew out a

fofehead. The atmosphere was charged
with intensity. PlimsoH’s dark eyes
were boring through the dealer’s low
ered lids.
“Move yo’ fingehs, .dealer, an’ re
veal royalty,” drawled Sandy. “The
queen wins!” His hands were on his
hips, fingers touching the butts of
his guns, his eyes burned. For all Its
drag there was a ring to his voice.
Hahn shot one swift look at him

he left with a curious gaze that took
in Sandy's guns.
“Sorry I was away from the ranch,

with one leg'thrown over the-{■omer

“That atjy of your business?"

replied Sandy.
For a moment the two men fought
a pitched battle with their eyes. It
was a warfare that Kandy T>ourko
was an expert in. The steel of bis
glanee-Qffeh saved him the lead in his
cartridges. Jtm PUmsoli was no fool
to wage uneven'eontest. He fancied
be would hfcve the advantage over
Sandy later, if the pair really meant
to play faro—In lus place.
“I grubstaked him for the Hopeful-

a puff of smoke from bis half-finished
cigar. The pah* eyes pointed the
action. It might have been a chal

nored it, devoting his attention to the
Tase’-keeper.
In twenty minutes Sam borrowed
a stack from Sandy’s steadily accu
mulating winnings and departed for
the craps table. He wanted quicker
action than faro gave him. Lilek
flirted with - Mm,' never entirely de-
sttring him. And Sandy won until
the news, of ids luck spread through
the room. The gamblers began to get
