SYNOPSIS Jack -Douglas returns to his Mirada Mesa ranch, after an absence of sis years, to find it on the verge of ruin and the countryside terrorized by a mysterious band of killers called "The Raiders," who are driving the ranchera off their property. His Aunt Ines and fiancee, Leia, rejoice at his homecoming, feeling that they now have a master to look after them. Dona Ines said if it were not for Ed Paxton, the ranch foreman, she would not have known where to turn. His first day home, Jack goes riding with his vaquero and friend. Frank 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. We need youl" he tells Jack. Pointing to an adobe dwelling in the canyon, Frank adds, "It's the Morada, the meeting place of The Brotherhood Nearly every peon in the country belongs. He swears allegiance to the Brotherhood in- I stead of the man who employs 1 him.” A tattered peon shuffles ‘down Uu- path. "One ci 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 dead. Douglas refuses to run. however, so the ranger advises 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 killed by The Raiders, Father Bodine of the border mission, and hie artist nephew, Paul Bodine, who has an interest in the Cobre mines Talk turns to Cobre and The Raiders but. remembering Record's warning "Trust no one." Jack is careful not to dVnimit himself. Ed Paxton Interrupts the party with the news that Frank Baker has been killed by the Raiders. "What answer are you going to make Jack Douglas?” Alison asks. Jack wanted this undaunted girl for his ally in the fight that lay ahead but again the rang-e-’o warning came to him. So. ho answers irresolutely, "I must think. We ,-annot do anything foolhardy " The light in her eyes died swiftly But the moment his last guest was gone. Douglas saddled his horse and went in search of the peon he and Baker had seen near thf Morada. Pethape ha could give some clue to the killing. Jack approaches the peon s tent and sees three men silhouetted inside. They are about to divulge some information about the Brotherhood when a dog barks revealing Jack's presence. The latter dashes to his horse and gallops off. He headed for the Morada. As he neared it. the high notes of a flute came to him. CHAPTER XI Moving back into a low growth of pine, he sat hie horse, alert and wa'zhful, scevened by thick branches, while the piping of that unseen flute jeered through the night. It died away, still the watching rider made no move, and presently through the moonlight two sombreroed figures came climbing the tittle hillock and knocked at the closed door. It opened, a thin slit of light shone from within, and the two men disappeared inside. For the next hour, in twos and threes, other figures shuffled up the path, knocked and entered, until to Douglas it seemed impossible that the small building could hold so many occupants. Fully forty men must havs entered, and still mors, In twos end threes, wsrs passing through -he door — the Brotherhood was meeting in force. After a long interval no others earns, and dismounting, Douglas tethered hie horse to a pine. Keeping within the shadow of th« cliff, he crept down the elope until now he stood almost directly beneath ths solitary window. litaide the hum of many voices surged intermittantly, as if repeating some ritual. From the roof it might be possible to see inside the window. The adobe wails th< me.hea offlerrd no foothold, bat the surface «■»

So swift, and pointed with trembling hands -o al- ilute the silence, it came with toward the door. "You must go the effect of a physical shock-, and from here! I’ronto, pronto.”

Douglas Mt his heart beat faster in expectancy. I But that silence was short-lived. J Arrack like that of a whip on naked 1 fiesh cut through the night sharp as a pistol shot, followed by a shriek of 1 pain and the quavering words, "Ay 1 Din!” ft ceased, then pitilessly, 1 with steady rhythmic beat the lash 1 fell again and again while the cries 1 rose in a very ecstasy of pain. 1 Silence once more, broken only by the sound of muffled weeping, and a ’ moment later Douglas flattened against the roof. The door of the 1 morada had opened, and a bent fig- < ure stumbled out to fall face down- ' ward before the door. ’ Full in the shaft of yellow light 1 that broken figure lay—an aged ' man with white and thinning hair. ' His shirt had been torn from him, and Douglas could make out long welts crias-croaeed over hie naked 1 back. Once he moaned and raised 1 himself upon trembling knees, only 1 , to fall again in the path, and thia time to move no more. Then the light dimmed as figures began ; crowding to the door, leaving the ' morada, passing the prostrate man ' without a glance, disappearing like ghosts into the night. Their shuffling footsteps died , away, the light within the morada , burned lower, no sound or any mo- ■ tion now—only that still figure , sprawling in the fading light. For a half hour Douglas waited, then very cautiously he let himself down. ' his feet striking the ground with a ’ soft thud beside the door, and bend , ing low. he looked within the room. , A light on the opposite wall faintly . ill up the Interior, showing a table, ; a few scattered chairs, and four ( bare walls. In the farther wall a , closed door revealed the presence of another room, and just above the light two great whips, like threatening symbols, were fastened in the shape of a cross. > The room before him could not I have held half of those Douglas had . seen enter the morada. and hia interest quickened In what might lie i beyond that cioMd door, but a faint n-oan brought him back to the aids t ut the fallen figure, and he asked la , Spanish, “Can you stand?” i Two watery eyes looked up from a i face seamed with lines and heavy

“Softly." Douglas' am, steadied him. “There is no one here—only you and 1.” But again with mounting terror that quavering voice rose. “I knew your father, Juan Douglas. For sixty years 1 have known the masters of Miracle Mesa, and 1 would have no harm come to you. It would be death to find you here. Here there is danger always. Go, in heaven's name.” Douglas made no move “Why did they punish you, my father’’' "Let us not talk of reasons. Let us go quickly." Painfully, desperately he pulled himself to his feet while the light from the smoking wick grew dimmer. Once he almost fell, and Douglas caught him. ID waa again about to apeak when a sharp sound came from down the trail and the old man's body stiffened in fear just as Douglas’ hand closed about the burning wick, throwing the room into utter blackMaa. Outside two horses had come to a halt, and to Douglas' listening ears the voice of Paul Bodine came through the darkness A low laugh followed, and with a start of amusement Douglas realised the other rider was Alison Jf-ale. At hie side he felt the old man tremble, and with something akin to horror Douglas sensed that the girl's presence had evoked thia spasm of abject fear. Almost at once the voices ceased, and one of the horses moved down the flinty trail. “ w “ •»*." th* old fellow quavered, and with a little sigh fell limply at Douglas' feet. With one stride Douglas waa at the door. Outside in the moonlight Paul Bodine eat hia horse, and now as Douglas' tall figure stood framed in the doorway the art turned with a quick start. "There’s a man inside here badly beaten." Douglas began, and Bodine slipped from hia horse Lighting a match, the artist entered, and going to a small oil lamp on the farther wall, coaxed to existence a low flatne. Together they raised the prostrate form to a chair, and with a moan the man slumped ever the table, hie tom beck gleaming in the growing light.
