Deadly quiet. a« alwaya in the! fare of danger, he ranted hl* rifle on I the boa befcro him, then fired, and a l raider fell backward at the foot of I the gun-rack, while to right and left i the rifiee of hi* own nun began to I rain a deadly volley into that »hout i ing, milling maw of m< n aero** the i room. Figurea were falling pre»- i trate or crawling painfully to -hel- i ter; whriek* of stricken raiders filled 1 the rm»m. But they had reached their rifles now, and others were still ' pouring in from the tunnels, picking up the guns of their prostrate ' fellow*. More familiar with th" ' mine than Douglas* vaqueros, they i were finding rhelter in every crev-' 1 ice, behind each bog and barrel: back in their rope corral a hundred I head of horses huddled in terror against the wall. Th* battle was joined. Steadily, unceasingly on both sides mm fired. ‘ 1 reloaded, fired again, while the •moke of their rifles gathered in a thick gray cloud above them, dim mmg the lights, filling tiie room with the acrid sharpness of burnt powder '' that bit into their lungs and brough' tears to their stinging eye -. Outnumbered, outflanked on both ( side*. Douglas, men wete being forced doser together as through the smoke pall a slowly advancing ring of fire poured mercilessly in on them. He snouted for his vaquero* , to spread out along the timber*■! wall, but they could not hear, and with each moment he saw they were ■ crowding themselves into a corner.' becoming an easy target for that withering fire. Hi* own rifle was hot in his hands, hi* lungs choked with the poisonous air—something had to happen -something soon. A lull. Then fmm beyond the entrance a shot rattled from far down the canyon, and a wild hope was born in Douglas’ heart—if it could be Alison and the rancher*! Both sides had ceased firing, a* it each ene awaited the outcome, while oußide a band of unseen horremen < »me pounding rearer. Then in quick succession three shots were' fired from just beyond the mine and . a great roar of triumph rose from the rank ro— the Killer's band wu returning. Two horsemen al eady had reached the entrance, and before thev 1 could find shelter Douglas' mon dropped them from their saddle, j Hut in another minute the rc-t I would be swarming into the room.l half a hundred of them, turning thr ' tide of battle, wiping out the hard-1 pressed vaquero* before help would come, <»nly one chance now—tn gain time. Crouching, keeping well back to the wall, Douglas ran to where the herd of pure bred* crowded in terror back within the rope-enc'<»cd recess that served a* a corral. With both arm* he swept together a pile of dry hay, and in the center dropped a lighted match. Hungrily the flame caught, spreading in an over-widening circle, while in mad hasto Douglas scattered handfuls of blazing hay about him. Panic-stricken, th* herd surged forward, the rope enclosure snapped, and With a roar that drnwn*d even the sound of rifle-fl re, they headed for the entrance ju»t a* the returning raiders came crowding through Like a resistless onru*hir.g wave that galloping mas* of utampeded animals struck the vanguard of the Killer** band, checking them, forcing them bark, jamming them helplesaly against the rocky wall. Men I I fell, and before they could cry out heavy hoofs crushed them; horses reared in vain effort to escape that I agonuing pressure a* caught hdpl le**ly before the maddened herd the > raiders were swept out of the tun- . nel and bark down the slope -Dougt las had secured his momeni's respite. Now the flames had reached th* nearby stack* of hay.Wfiilitig th* r place with hluish smoke, choking r waqueros and raiders alike, t'l iuds - were billowing out through the en- . 'rance; It was nu longer possible to ■ diatigfuish friend from fee, and i with ane accord all made fer the k luancl.
