The two find a dying man, Patrick Casey, pinned under an overturned wagon. Kneeling beside the wagon is his young daughter Molly, fifteen. They ex tricate the old prospector, who dies remem ting ' "hJolly—mines!” “IT1 look out for that, pardner,’' 1 says Sandy. It is agreed that Molly stays as mascot of the ranch, she and the "Three Musketeers” be coming partners in the mines. Sarrdy Insists upon an education for Molly.

I|. »wo rider* who had last tnlkod with Sandy rode out of a struggling thicket of tact us and skirted the lava flow. Each led a spare horse, unsaddled. CHAPTER VU Bolsa (hip. Sheriff Jordan had a, high-powered car purchased, not so much from the fees*of his Office as with his perqui sites, a word covering a wide range of possibilities, all of which the sher iff made the most of. lie had takRi up his-brother-in-law’s grievance with the greater zest since .he had a half interest in Plimsoll’s Good Luck pooi parlors, a share that had. cost him good money. On top of that had come Sandy’s flouting of him on the bridge In front of the sheriff’s own followers. He had to save his face, politically as well as personally. Armed with the necessary warrant, hacked by an assurance that, unless some extraordinary howl went up, the girl would he given into* the custody of Jim Pllmsoll as guardian, by virtue | of his claim to partnership with her j father, the sheriff, Pflmsoll and two I others, all three deputized for the oc casion. started the car from Hereford nt a quarter of twelve, after an early ’ hnrrh. ’AT a few minutes after twelve they reached Three Star, where Buck, seated on the porch, his saddle astride a sawhorse, stitched away at a etnrh H *1 his pan well, allowing ft . ri . m headin'. PhllT* he asked. there a cat or a pose through the mesmT “Dam’llno. one thing's sure an* cer tain. Them feller* from the Threo Star 'Usually know where they are headin’. Trail’* plain.’* "Sure la.” But* Jordan scratched his head a trifle doubtfully. If Sandy Bourke and his chums hnd been tipped off, tills trail was a little too plain to lie true. “They’re on about us get tin’ the pa pers.” said Pllmsoll. He had not said much on the trip so far. "Tee much tallv nowadays. Bourke sabes that getting the girl out of the .county won’t do any good; lie alms to get her out «*f the state and any Arizona court or sheriff Jurisdiction. He’s the brains of the outfit. We’ve got to get her, Jordan.’’ “Ton ain’t tollin' me a thing I don’t know, Jim. But there’s oye thing you can tell me. Is that tip you got about Dynamite a sure one?” Plimsoll, sitting beside Jordan, dashed him a look of contempt. "Do you think I’m chasing this girl because I’m stuck on her? One of the party with this eastern crowd dropped into my place and talked. Here is where I get back the money I put up to grubstake Casey.” Jordan gave him a grin of derision. "You an' yore grubstake,” he jeered. Plimsoll said nothing more. “No ahootin* in this deal,” Jordan warned. "Come to a showdown,. Bourke won't buck tiie law soon's we show prti*ers. !tn Iong*a he ain’t been notlth'd the eourt U makin’ a want of the girl they ain't done nothin' I wrong. But—If he resists, that’s dif wm. .

Leaning against a post stood Soda-Water Sam. smoking n cigarette, his gun holster hitched forward, the butt of the weapon close to one hand. Jordan and his men leaped out as the car stopped, Mormon following mora slowly. . “Afternoon, hombrea all,” said Sam. “Joy-ridin’?” ( Jordan wasted no more explana tions. “You take down this fence," he fairly shouted. "What fo’r "Ask yore partner." “Sheriff claims we’re cumberin’ the landscape with our li’l corral, Sam,” said Mormon. “He’s got q paper that gives Mai rigid of way, he says. Seen anything of Molly Casey?” “Not for quite n spell. On easy with them wires. Sheriff. Price of wire’s riz considerable." .
