The sounds of Steve Barron's horse thudded sharply, then stopped. From far back in the shadowy room, VirKiiiia watched throuRh the open doorway. Barron sat loosely In the saddle, 30 feet from Phil, hi« face dark and savage. His voice rang out: "Lanya gave you away, Lawrence. I came at once." "I was warned," Phil replied flat- ly. "1 was waititig." "You should have known I wouldn't let you get away with rob- bin<{ me." "It hurts, eh. When the thief is robl)ed." Marron'g hands lay crossed on his •addle horn. "Just what do you mean by that?" Phil's voice was sharp. "Your Mexican and Indian vaqucros rustl- ed my cattle. And not only mine â€" but stock belonging to every other •mall rancher in the valley I" "You know a lot, Lawrence." "I've been spying on you for months, Barron. And 1 know too •bout your deal with Natchiâ€" â€" " Mis voice broke oflf, and he was •uddenly crouched low and darting •idewayg. The roar of his unhol- •tered gun burst as an echo to Barron's shot. It had happened so quickly that Virginia had not been able to follow the play; she only knew that Phil lay now flat in the dust. She gave a frightened cry •nd ran out into the sunglare.

The weapon was lowering again, its muzzle finding Phil's fallen body. Virginia reached Phil and dropped to her knees be- side him. Barron's voice lashed out. "Move aside!" She held herself low as a shield. "No!" she cried hysterically. He was silent for so. long that she raised herself to look at him. He had bolstered his gun. He was swaying in the saddle, his right hand clamped against his right side wliere a crimson patch had sudden- ly coine to his shirt. The wound drew his face into tight lines. Then, groping for the reins, he turned his horse and rode slowly out into the desert. Virginia watched his sway- ing, drooping figure until it grew small. Pliil's movement drew her eyes to him. He was lifting himself up. both hands placed against the ground. His face was set hard with pain. "Phil!" "It's all right." he said hf;ivi1v "He got me â€" in the leg. I lay still so he wouldn't fire on me a:':nii ' She helped him to his feet, let him lean against her as he limped painfully to the house. He sank onto a bunl< • • * "Virginia." he said gently, "I'm sorry 1 let you in for this." "It's all riglit, Phil." she told him. The nc.\t hour was a bewildered memory afterward. Virginia was only vaguely aware that she had boiled water, washed and bandag- ed the cruel wound above Phil's left knee. Slie was dazed by the shocking violence. She was alarmed by Phil's suffering eyes. She sat by him and held his hand. He looked very weak. Perspiration stood in glistening beads on his forehead She wiped it away with a cool, wet cloth. He did not talk at all but stared dully at the ceiling. He lay very still for what seemed hours. She realized finally that his eyes were closed. His breathing was short and quick. She was startled more to find him asleep. T^nya Correy came in the half- light of dusk. She had ridden alone across those eight miles of danger- ous country; a heavy skirt, a man- nish shirt, doeskin boots, and a som- brero. She crossed at once to Phil and bent over him. She removed her hat and her dark hair fell in soft waves to her neck. She lay a gen- tle hand on his forehead. Virginia felt sudden jealousy as she watched. "He has a fever," Lanya said soft- ly. "It's bad then?" "1 don't know," Virginia said heavily. "I know so little â€" I'm so helpless about such things."
