Nut until they reached the last crest of the hills separating the two ranches and Jsna looked over on the lowlands of the smaller ranch, did sha catch her breath In sudden fear. In tha distance she saw a formidable wall of white smuke billowing Into the sky above the timber along the border of the reser vatlon. In the nearer distance lay Denison’s buildings. Between the two points a second tire burned, curving like a great scimitar along the cut-over lands sur rounding the ranch. “Bull !** she called fearfully to her nearest cowboy. “What does it all mean—Is there anything that can be saved”’ "Why, I can see where they’ve been back fli in’. Can’t tell much about It till we get cluster. Come on, boys! Bush ’em over the hill. If this Is too fast for you, miss,” he yelled, “follow us!” But nothing was too fast for Jane. Ttie city girl was always on their heels. With the ponies In a lather, the Gun lock crew pulled up short before the ranch-house corral, where a party of fire fighters Just from town were starting for the front. Henry Sawdy, smoked and scorched, was guiding them out. Bill I'ardaloe headed the town men. In the bunch were the evangelist preacher, Big Bill Hayes, alias Panama; the liveryman, McAl- pln; Spotts, the bald-headed and pro fane barber; Selwood, the cattleman, with half a dozen of bla men; Jim Laramie, from away up In the Crazy Woman country, with a bunch of bla cowboys. Jane saw a man riding up from the creek, but It did not look to her like BUI benlaou. Not uotU be drew near and Ufted bla bat hastily to her m he rode over to talk to Pardaloe. did she realise It was he. A* rapidly as possible he greeted the old them where they were pointed and started them oa their way. and turned to Jane. * The boy*. Including Jane's contin gent, dashed off with much ahoatlng and yelling. Conspicuous among them rode the evangelist preacher, Panama, bla heavy, straight black hair dancing 'np and down under bla sombrero, and with him rode hla neophyte, the bald and profane Jake Spotts. “Oh, Bill!" exclaimed Jane, aa Deni son rode up, “I’m so sorry." I hope I didn't stir things up over there, by tending that message. I shouldn't have done It, only—I prom ised," he said In a dry, cracked voice. Don’t think about the small things. Bill. You should have sent long ago. I brought all the men I could.” “McCrossen refused to come?” "He was kind of mean—so I came myself—I hope I’ll do for a substi tute?” His answering smile was Joyful. “It was too good of you to come, Jane. But now I’ve got to ride right out again. Would you step Into the cabin and rest ^ip - before you ride back?’’ Ride back? Yes, but who’s going to cook for all these men? I’m going back to get Quong and bring him over in the chuck wagon and take posses sion here." Noon passed before Jane got back to Denison’s and installed herself with Quong In the kitchen. One man, severely burned, came In from the front towards dark. Carpy could not be reached till morning. Jane bandaged the man’s arms and fed him. Denison rode In late, smoked and scorched anew, but tireless. "Bill," she asked, sitting down op posite him, “tell me honestly: are you holding It?" "Jane, to tell the truth, I don’t know. Somet'raes I think we are— sometimes It looks bad. In a forest Are, every hour must tell Us own story; that’s about the alze of It." It was late when they walked out of doors together. The southern sky was angry red. “It’ll be a hard day tomorrow. Bill." Mid Jane. “There's Afterward He hat Dorn *#•!*• Jane o»» the Ren** Outside the nothing more I caa do here, tnalght I'm gniag boas#. ITI b# hack by day light la (be morning. Yon go to bed.

Ho pleaded with her like a boy. "Pvt been counting on It all day-" T thought you'd been lire lighting all day." "Fighting Are and thinking about yon and saying. Tonight I’ll ride home with Jane.’ Oh. girl I If you knew what that means." Bull Page stood by the ponies. Den ison saddled bis own. and Jane and her escort set out for Gunlock. They did not ride fast. Therp was so much-to talk over. Both were se rious. Denison knew better than Jane how grave the danger was both to him self and to her. But he had his hour with the woman he loved, and for that hour what else In the world mattered? . "Oh, Bill,” protested Jane, faintly, sick at heart with the happiness of llsteniif" to hi.; words. “Don’t! You mustn’t say such things. I won’t lis ten to you. Bill. I’m nothing but a girl, and you’re making me a goddess or a fairy—stop such nonsense. Not one word more, Bill Denison. If you keep on, I’ll break out crying. Here’s the house, anyway. Good night I’ll be over In the morning at daylight. Think well of me. Bill. I always shall of you!" Every available man was out on the front lines when Jane reached the threatened ranch after daybreak. Quong kept the little stove in the kitchen hot, and Jane, busy about the cabin and looking after the boy burned the day before, did not realize bow fast the morning was going, until Carpy ar rived from town to dress the lad'* burns. He greeted Jane and, with her to help, went to work oo his patient Afterward be aat down beside Jane on the bench ootslde the door. ‘So." said he, “you r* playing good Samaritan. How ar* you bolding out over at Gunlock?" -All right; tbo danger la all from this way. If we can hold the dr* over It's aot likely la bother a* Oh. ctor," exclaimed Jane, springing la bar feet “what doe* that mean?" Riding out of tb* woods south #' the ranch bonae. she mw a party of men slowly advancing. Doctor Carpy’a eyes were more practiced. “Some on* hurt," he Mid teraely. Jane was In a flutter. Keep cool," admonished Carpy aa be rose. "We’ll soon know what It’s all about." Riding between two men, supporting him on his pony, a third man riding behind the trio, Carpy mw the Injured man, hatless and coat leas, and heard him suppress an occasional groan. Carpy walked forward to greet the party. “Well, boys," he asked, “who Is It this time?” Jim Laramie answered. “Why, doc, It’s Jake Spotts. There’s been a bad accident Jake and Panama got cat off up by the pass. Stayed too long. I’m glad you’re here, doc; he’s hurt pretty bad." “No !*' screamed Spotts, so blackened and burned as to be unrecognizable, and writhing In pain, "It ain’t me, doc; It’s Panama! Damn it—go back, boys, and get Panama. I tell you, go back!" “Denison has gone to get him, doc," explained Laramie. “Keep quiet, Jake, you only make your leg worse. It’s his leg, doc.” Carpy motioned. “Bring him Into the cabin.” ^ The unfortunate barber, eased, with many groans, off the pony, was laid on the dinner table, asking for water and half deliriously calling for Pan ama. Carpy examined Spotts. He found to his relief that the man was not seriously burned. “It’s his left leg,’’ explained Carpy a little later to the group; “broke down near the ankle." . "Doc," moaned the hollow-eyed, lan tern-jawed barber, “I’m all right. For God’s sake get the boys to go back aft er Panama." Carpy saw that nothing but a bluff would quiet the pain-racked man. He turned to the men standing by and winked. "Here, you fellows I Get right out and hunt for Panama. And don’t show up here till you find him I" thundered Carpy. Keeping up a rapid Are of talk, Carpy opened his bag, set oat bla need ed appliance* and his bottle of chloro form, gradually subdued the man, got him. with Jane'a help, under tbe aneo- thetle, and working In hla shirt sleeve* and In the IntenM beat at a breath taking speed, finished tb* operation, Mt down, drew a rigar from hla waist coat pocket and lighted It.

CHAPTER VII Dr. Carpy walked hurriedly to tha I edge of tho wood* where the mea gath- I ered riooefy around him. “Beat thing to do Is to taka off that aid hunk house door. Bill."

Bull," he added, speaking to Page, “get up a pair of ponies, If you can find ’em, and hitch ’em to the light wagon. Carpy wants Panama taken right In town to the un dertaker's.” The Injured barber was coming to. He had been carried to the bunkhouse and was propped up on a bench out side the doorway. He looked at Carpy wistfully. “Tell me, Doc,” he begged, “have they found Panama yet?” I did what little I could do for him here. But I’ve not got what’s needed here for treatment. Panama’s got to go to town. (They're hitching up the wagon.” Spotts started up, on fire. “Then I’ve got to see him before he goes. Don’t let ’em start till I see him, Doc. Where is he?” Carpy tried In vain to quiet his pa tient. He might as well have tried to stop a forest fire by talking to It, “Keep your leg quiet, Jake. You mustn't have any excitement tonight I’ve done my best for you. Now, damn It dry up: 1 tell you you can’t see him." A dreadful light dawned on the bar ber. HI* gaunt Jaw dropped, hla hol low eye* flamed. “Doc 1” be cried out "Panama's dead!"
