CROOKED TRAILS I AND STRAIGHT (Continued from preceding page) I \ luried her head on his shoulder and wept. e e e e e e e I Without losing an instant the conrlct set himself at the climb. Ills laste, the swift glances shot behind him, the appalling dread that made his nerves ragged, delayed his speed by dissipating the singleness of his energy. His face and hands were torn with catclnw, his knees bruised by a slip against a sharp jut of quartz. When he reached the top he was panting and shaken. Before he had moved a dozen steps a man caine out of the brush scarce seventy-tlve yards away and called to him to surrender. He flung his rifle to place and fired twice. The man staggered und steadied himself. A shell had Juramed and Blackwcll could not throw It out. He turned to run as the other tired. But he wus too late. He stumbled, tripped und went down full length. The man that had shot him waited for him to rise. The convict did not move. Cautiously the wounded hunter came forward, his eyes never lifting from the Inert sprawling figure. Even now ne nun expecieu nun 10 spring up. , life and energy in every tense muscle. Not till lie stood over him, till he saw the carelessly flung limbs, the uncouth twist to the neck, could he believe thnt so slight n crook of the finger had sent swift death ncross the plateau. The wounded man felt suddenly sick. Leaning against a rock, he steadled himself till the nausea was past. Voices called to him from the plain helow. He answered and presently circled down Into the gulch which led to the open. At the gulch mouth he came on a little group of people. One glance told hliu all he needed to know. Kate CalUson was crying In the arms of Curly Flandrau. Simultaneously a man galloped up, flung himself from his horse nnd took the young woman from her lover. "My little girl!" he cried In a voice that rang with love. Luck had found his ewe '.arah thnt was lost. It was Curly who first saw the man approaching from the gulch. "Hollo, Cass! Did you get him?" Fendrlck nodded wearily. "Yep. He's up there." The sheepman's baud swept toward the bluff. "You're wounded?" "Got me In the shoulder. Nothing serious, I Judge." Culllson swung around. "Sure about that, Cass?" It wns the first time for years that he had called the other by his first name except in Irony. "Sure." "Let's have a look at the shoulder." !

Culllson used his Influence to get the mnn a light sentence, for he knew that he was not a criminal at heart. In return Dutch went down the line without so much as breathing Sam's name. Luck saw to It that Curly got all the credit of frustrating the outlaws In their attempt on the Flyer and of capturing them afterward. In the story of the rescue of Kate he played up Flondrau's part in the pursuit at the expense of the other riders. For September was at band and the young mnn needed all the prestige he could get. The district attorney had no choice but to go on with the case of the State versus Flandrnu on a charge of rustling horses from the Hnr Double M. Hut public sentiment was almost a unit In favor of the defendant. The evidence of the prosecution was not so strong as It had been. All of his accomplices were dead ami one of the men implicated had given It out in his Inst moments that the young mnn was not a party to the crime. The man who had owned the feed corral had sold out and gone to Colorudo. The hotel clerk would not swear positively thnt the prisoner was the man ho liuft ?i>?n with the other rimtlerw Curly lmd one Important asset no Jury could forgot. It counted for a good deal that Alec Flandrau, IMlly Mackenzie, and Luck Culllson were known to he hacking him. hut It was worth much more that his wife of a week sat beside him in the courtroom.

Intermarriage with the esithen was soon followed by the -orshlp of the heathen cods. Thus Isicl's pow%>r was gradually weakened. i that Instead of being conquerors hoy became the conquered. In chapter 2:0-9 is given a synopsis f the hook of Judges: ' 1. The sin of the people (vv. 0-13). 2. Clod's Judgment for their sin (vv. I. 1r>). 3. Repentance of the people (3:9). 4. God's deliverance at tlie hands of to Judges (w. J6*10). A repetition of sin. oppression by the Homy, repentance on tIn* part of the ooplc, and find's deliverance. Is the !ory of the hook of Judges. I. The Judgeship of Deborah (4: r?>. Iler name means "Roe," suggesting nlerly Instincts. As suggested-by anther, "Slie answered her nanie by her idustry, sagacity, ami great use to te public." The period was marked y awful oppression. The Israelites ere helpless, for the enemy had 900 harlots of Iron. Deborah was an nlque character. Clod raised her up >r such a time us this.
