It probably would cost that much on commercial planes and the government would pay the bill anyway, so what I.; the difference? The difference is that if commercial craft were used the senators would have to show the (35,1*00 item in the appropriation for their trip whereas if the Army transported them the item would be burled in the sis teen billion dollar defense appro j pri.ition.

CHAPTER TWELVE IT WAS Chip’s thought that Tumblerock's sheriff had made no real effort at defending his prisoners, and he pigeon-holed that fact for future reference. Now he was only concerned with what was coming next, for the men were streaming back into the ceil corridor, milling before the door of the only occupied cell while keys were tried until the right one was found. Then they were into the cell and striving to lay violent hands upon the two prisoners. Chip was one of those who pressed inside. In thia threshing darkness, men were shapeless, bulking smears of motion, but he made out Ute Kincade who was struggling wildly and bellowing all the while, his voice frantic, his mouthings meaningless. But out i of Kincade's cries, Chip caught the name of Seton Alessandro, and he wondered about that. Sam McAllister had put his back to a j corner and was making a silent, hard slugging defense, but as the oldster came lunging forward to put poundage behind a blow. Chip tripped him neatly and pounced upon him. He got Singin'a Sam's amis twisted behind the man. and he I hauled Sam to a stand and held him pinioned in this fashion. Others were also struggling to get a hold on Sam, but Chip said fiercely, “I'Ve got him. and I can handle him!" He propelled Sam toward the cell door and out into the corridor which was now crammed with men. Chip shouted, "Make room! I’ve got to get outside with this Jigger!** Sam was still struggling wildly, and Chip whispered through the muffling bandanna, "It's me—Chip." Sam didn't make the mistake of eeasing to struggle. He still writhed in chip's grasp, but there was no real effort in bis attempt to break free, and Chip knew that Sam had understood. Behind Chip, others Were hauling Ute Ktncadc toward the outer door, and thus they burst once again into the night, forcing their way to the center of the street where a score of men milled around them. This much Chip had succeeded 1 in doing; he had Joined the mob and gotten bis hands on Bingin' Sam. but it came to him now that nothing had really been gained; for the two of them were stirrounded and those ropes were being held aloft again, and somebody shouted, “The big cottonwood down by the Eureka Saloon! Ttat’U make a good hangtree!” i That cry must have given Uta

Kincade the strength of desperation. One instant he was struggling in the grip of two or three men; the next instant he had broken free and was running, striking out wildly to left and right and clearing a lane fur himsell. And instantly every man of the mob was turning to run after him. They went howling at his heels, but Kincade had broken through the fringe of the mob and was clattering down the boardwalk, but, comparatively free, he was in greater danger than before. For now there was room for shooting, and a dozen guns spoke at once; and Kincade seemed to leap into the air and half turn around, and then he went sprawling in a grotesque heap, his eyes to the sky, his arms flung wide. Thus had Ute Kincade died, and the sight sickened the very soul of Chip Halliday. He had had no love for Kincade, and certainly It hadn't been part of his plan to take the convict over beer Lodge's wall with him. He knew that Kincarle had had blood on his hands many times in the past, and he'd been hard put to restrain Kincade from spilling more blood in the days since the three had made their escape. But even Ute Kincarle had deserved a death with dignity and a fighting chance to stave off that death. A mob's cruelty hadn't granted him these things. But while such thoughts were crowding through Chip's mind, he and Bingin' Bam were darting for the shadows that banked between two buildings on the far side of the street. For Chip had seen his chance and seized it. While every eye had been upon Ute Kincade, every gun aimed Kincade's way, Chip and Bam had been unnoticed for a moment, and that moment had put them out of sight Shortly they'd be discovered though, shortly the whole fury of the mob would be directed against them, and Chip’s impulse was to run as fast as his legs would carry him. He put down that Impulse with an effort, slowing to a walk Instead and keeping a hold on Sam's arm to restrain him in like fashion. Boots hitting hard against the packed earth would have given the mob a clue to their whereabouts. Beyond these buildings was an alleyway, and Chip eased into it. He hadn't taken a dozen steps before a figure loomed ahead of him. He tilted his gun then; he'd seen Ute Kincaid die and he was determined not to die in like fashion, but Hope's voice reached him saying, "It's me!" The breath went out of him In a gusty sigh of relief, and as the girl came closer he sensed her own breathlessness and the desperate urgency that gripped her. "I saw you join the mob,” she said. "I've tried to keep an eye on you ever since. Come now; we must hurry ” '"The horses!” Chip gasped. “Can you get the horses for us?" "Too risky,” she countered. "If there's a brain among those mobsters, the first thing they'll do is throw a ring around the town. But I know the plaec to hide.” Chip was content to let her lead the way. the knew thu town; he didnt Already voices were bung

raised in a shout on the street beyond, already boots were beating in a dozen different directions as the mob fanned wide to make its search. Hope, her fingers on Chip's I wrist, paused before the rear of a big building whose odor identi- ’ fled it as a livery stable. "In here ■ —quick!" she whispered 1 Finding the back door unlocked, tiny eased inside, pausing in the 1 deeper darkness to listen intently for any warning sound. Horses stomped nervously in stalls, the big front door was open, but the hostler had obviously gone out irto the street to see the excitement. Hope guided them toward the ladder leading to the loft, and when they'd made the ascent they found the big sccond-story door at the street end of the building swung open. Crawling forward, they cowered beneath the protruding beam that was used for hauling baled hay to the loft—the b'sm with its dangling rope i that made a grim reminder of i tlie fate that awaited them if they were caught. Here they looked i down upon the teeming street. Men had started building a laigc bonfire in the center of the ’ street, hauling packing boxes and empty barrels from the nearby saloons to feed the flames. Wheth--1 er some wild, meaningless impulse • or a desire for light by which to 1 make a more thorough search had ' prompted them to do this, Chip didn't know. But he watched the i lurid light wash up the sides of 1 the false fronts, saw the dark. ' restless silhouettes of men limned i la-fore the fire; and into the circle ! of light came riding a lithe, handi somely-garbed man upon a beau- • tiful black horse that instantly , chained Chip's attention. , "Seton Alessandro!" Hope whis- ■ pered. Sitting his saddle with studied grace, Alessandro hoisted his hand I lor silence and commanded it so ! quickly as to impress Chip. The ! man cried, "Hear me, boys! I've > just been told what happened toI night. I can’t condone mob ac- • lion, but since you've managed to i let one of the prisoners escape, I I'm not happy over the prospect i of a lawless man being loose in I our midst, either.

Hope said, "We'd r better dig into the hay pile. They'll - be combing this town fine now. . A thousand dollars!” ! Chip knew that she was right, • and the three of them went burs rowing into the hay, Chip lingering behind a moment to fork nay over the others before he himself ' made an effort at concealment, f And thus they lay, listening to ■ tlie myriad sounds of Tumblrrock. ■ hearing boots slog along the . boardwalks below, hearing more shouts and curses and futile ques1 Uons as men called one to an l other. f (To Be Coaftnuodj ,
