SYNOPSIS J.>k Doughs returns to his Miracle Mesa ranch, after an absence of six years, to find it on the verge of ruin and the countryside terrorised by a mysterious band of killers called "The Raiders.” who are driving the ranchers off their property. Hie Aunt Ines and fiancee. Lola, rejoice at his homecom•ng, feeling that they now have a master to look after them Dona Ines said if it were not for Ed Paston. the ranch foreman, she would not have known where to turn. His first day home. Jack goes riding with his vaquero and friend. Prank Baker The latter says the miners in Cobre confiscate the water rights of the ranchers and that the cattlemen are doing nothing about it 'What we need is a he-man--Boss. Weneedyout he tells Jack. Pointing to an sdob: dwelling in the canyon, Frank adds. "It's the meeting place of the Brotherhood, learly every peon in the country swears allegiance to the Brotherhood instead of the man who em ploys him." A tattered peon shuffles down the path “One of our own herders," Baker remarks and pointing to a small tent nearby adds. He stays there” Leaving Baker. Douglas goes to visit his old friend Forest Ranger Sam Record, who warns Jack that he is one of three ranchers marked for death by The Raiders. As to the other two, Bradshaw left the country and Wilson is deau. Douglas refuses to run. nowever, sc the range' adviaes him to 'trust no one.” The head of The Raiders, Record says, is a giant Chinese known as "The Yellow Killer." Jack's dinner guests that evening are Alison Neale, owner of the neighboring ranch, whose father was k-lled by The Raiders. Father Bodine of the border mission, and his artist nephew, Paul Bodine, who has an interest in the Cobre mines Talk turns to Cobre and The Raidera but remembering Record's warning "Trust no one.” Jack is careful not to commit himself Ed Paxton interrupts tne party with the news tha Frank Baker hat been killed b) The Raiders. CHAPTER X As if (tom far away Jack h«-aid Alison's words to Paxton. “You’ve got to do something to ride those murderers down.” the girl wa- urging “You can’t just—take it My riders will go with you—l'll »>> If they murdered Fiank tn broad daylight someone may have seen it." Paxton's face flushed. "You know as well as I d» that everybody's afraid to talk. Baker was shot near the morada and I'm not going to snoop around there." He •aw ih' look of open contempt in her eyes "Go on," he challenged, "say whet you're thinking." “I think you're a coward," the e!ea> voi e answeted. “a worthless coward.'* "No man would ray that. Miss Neale ' “Xu man would even speak to you ’ I In a last desperate appeal she turned *o Dougias "When I heard you were coming back here, you bi< ught me hope for the first time in years. I thought. I prayed you might be the leader all the valley is waning for N* one will ever know what your coming meant to me, and I told my>nf if you were the man I had hoped for I would follow you to the end and my »aqueroa with me ” She pass'd a hand across her eyes “Well, that’s not important n«w All that matters is that Frank Baker died fighting for Miracle Mesa R»neh- yout ranch He died because he ha<t th' 'ourage others lacked* A sob sil'need her. and ths pleading re«onant voice went on “Just a few days ag" I and we talked about your coming He waa looking forward to the great thing* that were going to happen once you were here He was proud to be one of your riders.

you are going to do about it and so am I. What answer are you going to make, Jack Douglas?” Cheeks flushed, rhe faced him. her whole body trembling, and looking down into that gravely suppliant face, an overwhelming desire seised him to have this undaunted girl as his ally in the fight that lay ahead. He wanted to tell her that from this moment on his life would be given to avenging Baker’s death; that so long as the Miracle Mesa Ranch endured it would fight back with all its might. He wanted to tell her this, but again came th* memory of Record's solemn words, "Trust no one. It is your only hope." In th* candlelight the white circle of faces wqtehed him as if waiting He saw the padre's faded eyes, the black figure of hi* aunt, and over Illa's shoulder the attentive face of Paul Bodine. They were waiting, and Alison—she most of all But— "Fight guil* with guile,” Record had said. Douglas drew a deep breath "I must think." Hi- owr voice sounded strangely irresolute. "We cannot do anything foolhardy.” He saw the light in Alison's eves die swiftly, and bitterly be turned away—he had condemned himself to the lone fight. Almost at once his guests took their leave. Alison went to l-ola'a room, and changing into a riding habit, left withuut seeing Douglas again. Paul Bodine alone wait'd until the others had departed, and as Jack walked with him to the door, he Mid, "W* are going to be neighbors, Douglas —in these difficult time* I want you to know that any thing I can do I shall do gladly." Douglas looked down. "There seems *o little to do in a moment like this." His voice wa* uncertainty itself. But the moment Douglas’ last guest had disappeared an instant change cam* over him. That air of uncertainty vanished, his shoulders straightened, and turning inside, he ran up the stair*. Lights were burn ing in Lola** room and in hi* aunt'*, but the haeienda was silent, and going to hi* own room, he pulled from a drawer a .38 automatic in a shoulder bolster. Buckling it beneath hi* coat, h* draw on a pair of riding lioots, and creeping down <n» stair*, passed quietly out into th« r ght. At the stable he switched or the light, chos* a tall black horse among those tethered there, and quickly saddling, rode out the gate Driven by a need for action, he urgvd on hi* horse, yet hi* thoughts, swifter, still raced back to the cedarcovered knoll where he bad stood with Baker only a few hour* b*fure. He mw again th* peon, heard one* mor* that sing-song, "Bueno* dm*." and remembered th* malignant intentneos of the man's eyes If that peon wer* part of the underground system of spies, could he be made to talk, could he some bow be mad* tn point to those who had killed Frank Baker'* Abruptly, a* it he had reached a decision, be turne 4 hi* hors* toward the foothill* an hurried over the moonlit flour ot th* valley toward that grassy knoll where the peon's, tent bad been Tying hi* horse Douglas approached th* edge of the clearing. Almost at once he made out th* weatber-bleacbed canvas shining like a whit* triangle in th* moonlight, than halted in quick surprise —a light was burning insid*. Still a* a status, Douglas,watched. Against th* sloping canvas th* shadow of a man loomed from within, then another shadow passed in •harp silhouette across th* tent, and Douglas knew th* herder was not alone. Stooping low, he circled, and keeping to th* side opposite the entrance. earn* n*arer Muffled voic*s reached him, and one*, in a ton* louder than th* rest he b*ard th* word*. "Mirscl* M**a." Something in th* arays th* words w*r* mH som* overton* of contemptuous enmity, brought a surge of hot anger to th* listening man outside, and despite th* dictate* of caution, he drew near th* entrance until through th* open flap h* could look Into the dimly lit inkar'er.

Three men were there. The pe<>n, a cigarette between his lips, laycurled among the dingy blankets that served as a bed; the other two. unmistakably Americans, sat facing the rear of the tent, so that Douglsv could see only the tousled black hair of one and the broad, worn stetson of tike other, Still too far away tc near, and this time dropping on hand* and knee , Douglas crept toward the back of the tent and now he crouched with In a few scant inches of the canva> wall. He heard the scratching of a match, smelt the pungent smoke of Mexican tobacco, then a voice. "You’re just lucky. Jose For a tip like that the Chief will give you plenty. The Brotherhood will he meeting at the morada tonight, and it anything—" A yelp of fear drowned the voice, followed by a volley of frantic bark ing, and almost at Douglas' feet a small dog stood shrilly signaling the presence of an intruder tn hi« master within. The air quivered with that inccsvant warning, and fn >|uf:'k response the three men in-rle started to their feet Crouching Douglas glanced behind him toward the sheltering fringe of trees- t< > far, he could not make it.
