GALE RUSHES ROJAS, THE BANDIT
Wheeling. Gale rushed at Rojas. It was his old line-breaking
qe. Neither Rojas nor his men. had time to move. The black
cd bandit's face turned a dirty white; his jaw dropped; he

yard against his men. Then Gale's heavy body. swiftliy fol
lowing -with the momentum of that rush, struck the little group of
rebels. They went down with the table and chairs in a sliding crash.
Gale. carried by his plunge, wrent with them. Like a cat he
landed on. top. As he rose his powerful hands fastened on Rojas.
Ile jerked the little bandit off the tangled pile of struggling. yell-*
ing "men, and, swinging him with terrific force, let go his hold.
Rojas slid along the floor, knocking over tables and chairs. Gale
bounded back, dragged Rojas up. handling him as if he were a
limp sack.
A shot rang out above'the yells, Gale heard the jingle of break

rebels. With a cry Gale slung the bleeding Rojas from him.
edit struck a table. toppled over it, fell, and lay prone.
A nother figure closed in on Gale. This one was dark, swift.
A blade glinted--described a circle aloft. Simultaneously wilh a
close, red flash the knife wavered; the man wielding it stumbled
backward. The din became a roar. Gale heard shots that sounded
like dull spa.ts in the distance. The big lamp behind the bar seem
ingly; split. then spultered and went out. leaving the room in
darkness.
That's how Dick Gale, American, rushes Rojas, the Mexican bandit,
in "No Man's Land," Just over the border. He is doing it to give Lieut.
George Thorne, American cavalryman, a chance to get his Spanish
sweetheart, Mercedes Castaneda, out of the bandit's clutches. It's a
pretty tale, this romance of George and Mercedes. And still more ro
n-antic is the love story of Dick and Nell Burton. For Dick, to save
Mercedes for Thorne, casts his lot with the two American cowboys who
shot out the lights and goes into a new world of adventure in which he
finds hardship, romance, desperate endeavor, fighting, love and gold.
The author? Why, no less a writer than Zane Grey, author of "The
Heritage of the Desert," "Riders of the Purple Sage" and more than a
dozen other first-class tales of the West. Of pioneer stock, with a college
education and wide athletic and outdoor experience, his literary work
since 1904 has made him probably the most widely-read author of
western stories of adventure.

Indian habit of silence. Another day's
travel found the prospectors deep in

breaking of reserve, noticeable in the

began to respond to lire influence of

began to lake keener note ot' Is com
rade, 111(1 found hin different from
[1ny other he had ever encountered in
the wilderness. 'Th.'is man never
tumible(l at the heat, the glare, the
lrih lig sand, the sour water, the
scant fare. He was tireless, patient,
brooding.
C ameron's awakened interest brought
1ome to him the realization that for
'eirs he had shunned companionship.
[n those years only three men had
vandered Into the desert with hi1m,
and these had left their bones to
ileach in the shifting sands. Cameron
111(1 not cared to know their secrets.
lIut the more he studied this latest
'omrade the more he began to suspect
hat he might have missed something
ni the others. In his own (riving pas
dlon to take his secret into the limit
ess abode of silence and desolation,
vhere he could be alone with it, he
1ad forgotten that life dealt shocks to
>ther men. Somehow this silent com.
'ade remin(led him.
