CHABTER XXIII A milt farther on Dowglae droopvd back taeid* the Texan. "Bob, | waat you to taka *ix men and wait at th* foot of tha trail. Th* rest of ux will circle up the nearer eanyon and come down on tbo morada from above. If anybody hqppene to be there that will put them between tha two of oa. Don’t lot anyone pas* you." Pulling out hie watch, ho lighted a match. “Sot j your watch by mine— It'* eleven lye. Be'ter give me an hour. At midnight, you cloea in on the morada from below aad I’ll meet you from above" Shortly before midnight Doug, la* halted just where the trail turned above tbo morada There he dismounted, and signing the others to wait, went down the *tony path. At the bond ba stopped. Withtal the deep shadow of the canyon wall the morada lay in utter darkness, the d<»r tightly closed. There would be no meeting of the Brotherhood that night. Creeping beneath the window, Douglas kneeled out*id* the door, aad placing his ear aganst the wood, listened. A Soft iefaplfif eound inside, fallowed by « low whisper, cam* to him. Without waiting far mere, ho hurried back to hi* men. “Someone is in th* morada." he told them aa they crowded about him “Perhaps their guard* caught tight of our men at the lower end I of the canyon and gave the alarm. , The place may be filled with them, ! ao when we get there, keep well hack , among the shadow* and take shelter. Whoever i* inside, well soon bring , out -and they may come out shootI tag ” Swinging into the saddle, he ' rounded the la«t bend, and with ! twelve vaquero* hard after him. Douglas halted in freest of tho morada just aa Bu'seH’t men *warmed ap the narrow trail, eager for action. • “Did anyone pass you?" Douglas ea’led to th* Texan. "Nary a soul." "I heard voice* inside th* morada' He turned to th* men. ’’Di*aiount. every on* «t you, and get back among th* rock*. Whoever face n't coma out with hi* hand* up - shoot him down ” Bussell at hi* side. Douglas walked to the door, and with the butt of hit revolver knocked en th* heavy oak. No answer. Again he knocked, but only lb* echoes of hit pounding retounded from th* canyon wall*, and drawing a flashlight, be called to i two of his vaqueroe. "Break la that d'-or." Each wielding a double-bitted a*, the men began with a will, aad aeon beneath that barrage of blows the doer quivered on its hinge*. while Bakr* of adobe began showering down th* wall*. Suddenly above the Bounding a terrified waii qroee, and Douglas motioned the men to atop. "Will you open thgt doer before w* btepk it down?" From within a frightened voire tn Spannh quavered. "Ousen esf Wo open only tn the Ridtherhood." Dougia* nodded to hi* men. and qgam tho caayon echoed to blow gfter savage blow. Amid a rasping Wrench of twitting Betel. the lock gave way, aad Douglas burst headfang into the bl»ekn«*a of the room. Blindingly hl* flashlight played qbnut him*, than earn* to rest against th* farther wall, where three peons cowered. Their frightened epee t learned wildly in the light, their and* atretehed high abov* th«l* bead* in a torment of fear. Th* lights of bi* vaquera* were touching every corner of th* room now. but beyond that trembling tableau the plae* was empty, and Douglas turned hi* attention to the in.er door. It was el much more aturdy structure than th* other, and fastened by a Inek of heavy steel. •Open that door," he ordeted the three peon*. But th* older shook hi* b*«d W • eannot, *enor.

th* cliff; In making the morada its builders had choaen a point where the rock, eloping inward, formed a large receaa beyond th* morada iteelf—a room of living roek. Directly abend a long tabl* eteeteked acre** the floor and ranged close about it were nine •modem chaise, intricately carved. On the back of each hung a brightly colored robe, probably ceremonial robe* used by tho higher <>Ac*r* of the Brotherhood in tho ritual of their secret meeting* At the head of the table stood a tall silver goblet Again the flashlight moved. Beyond tha table a wooden rack held thirty high-powered rifles, and above ea> h one hang a well filled cartridge belt No longer any doubt of the connection between raiders and Brotherhood—the Killer'* mtn had evident ly used this room of the morada as one of th*ir arsenals. Still farther along the rocky wall that circle of light traveled, stopping at last on a huge map of yellow parchment hanging there, but unlike any map Dougia* had ever seen. In shape it roughly resembled a great irregular wheel from whose easrter radiatqd a number of meandaring line* that at first he thought were meant for streams. On some of them name* had heen wr.tten in Spanish, and curiously he bent cloeer, while a vague premonition of it* importance made him scrutinize each waving, enigmatic line But it it was a map, it corresponded to no section of the country he had known, either within the desert or the valley or any of the surrounding foothill*. Th* name* themselves ware •trange—"Rio de Plata.” "Rio de Oro.’’—rivers of silver and gold. No straam* ia all th* border country bore names such as these. And on one of them, in larger type, were printed the more aim-ter words, “Rio del Muerte." Frowning, bo jerked th* parchment from the wall. This too might be part of th* Brotherhood's ritual — *eix» mystic symbolization, some — A low groan from out the darkness brought him bolt upright, and dropping the map, Douglas whirled his saarchogiit in the direction of the sound. There, where the rnck curved back into a deep races* before it met th* floor, lay a half naked farm, shackled by on* arm to the rock itself. On the man * left cheek Douglas saw a long white scar--he had found hi, peon at last! Terribly emaciated the man was. every rib shuwng beneath the torn shirt, and a atubble of grizzled hair aovered the sunken face Russell was kneeling beside him. "So thia ia how the Brotherhood traps iu members in terror of their vc«," he growler! Douglas bad the peon released. "Carry him outside," he ordered, “but be careful of him. Our best hope of finding tha raiders’ hiding place may lie in making this man talk." I*ft to himself, Douglas turned to finish his exploration of the room Just to the left of tho doorway two crossed whip* had been faitined, and above them a grinning skull looked down. Beneath that hideous symbol a great rectangle of polished rock threw hack the light, it* smooth eurfae* resembling a tablet of dark alate. And a* a tablet th* Brotherhood had used it. for on it* burnished surface eight names were deeply cut with e»me sharp instrument. Om by ano Dougia* read those names, and a* he read his eye* hardened; each we* th* name of a man who had lived out hi* life in the border country and me. a violent end at the hands of the raiders: GEORGE WARNER. ALBERT NEALE, JACK BARSTOW -fas eye* passed down that column of slaughtered victims, and last of allh* reed the same.

"Bring out all the rifle* and cartridge belt* and wait for me around the bend." Douglas ordered. “Thi* hellish place has had its last meeting." From Bussell's horse Dougia* took eight half stick* of dynamite and a long fuse. In silence he in ; c the yellow cylinder* dose ab ut th* walls, then very carefully attachi d . the fuse. Already the vaqueros were in their saddle*. “In two minute* I'll be with you,’ he called out, and cast a last look j about him Every stick of dynamite was in place.

With a faint hiss it caught, and running to the door, he mounter l then rode at full gallop down th* trail to where just beyond the turn his rider* eat their horses, voiceless with expectancy.
