EA & : — NN He was out of her sight in another instant so Christine could do} no more shooting at him. She had fired four times. She saw Roselee, then a lot of other people, and then big Dick Bancroft running from the hotel. She didn’t wait to see what they would do. Because, dominating everything else in her consciousness now was the fact thai Franklin Larraway lay wounded in the dim bank building behind her. The turned from the window, hastened across the narrow hallway and through a door into the teller’s cage. “Franklin! , . . Darling!” She Was kneeling over him at once. She spoke in hushed, tremulous whisper. He had beeh half sitting, half lying, + supporting himself with his hands, and he turned to look at her now: “Chris-tine! Are you—are you—" He could only stare at her now. ¢ “Franklin! O-o0-oh! W-where are} — “My -leg. The thigh. It's painful, but you—are you—" “I am all right! All right, Franklin! Except that I am crazy for fear you—you—!" “Christine, you came to my rescue! You took my gun and fought that man down! Followed him! .. . Fired at him and he fired back at you!” “You were in danger. Your life! You, Franklin! He had tried to kill you!” Her arm was around him, awkwardly but lovingly, and he was +looking up at her and shaking his head a little oddly as if incredu- ® lous.of what he had seen and knew to be true. His utter paleness had turned td color now. His delicately chiseled face was smudged with » dirt where his hand had rubbed first the floor and then his cheek jin some unconscious movement. “Christine! | You—you called me darling!” 8 She only nodded, sobbing a little ‘and staring at him, very close to him, and trying to swallow an control her vaice. : “Christine! | You—risked your life —for me! r me! Me! | You called me—yadu—you told me once - you loved Dick! But you risked your life for—for—-" --. «ot. ae ‘» “No! ... No!” She almost shouted “I didn’t say I loved him! At|igeaS first I—" = And then there was great commotion outside and a dozen or more persons had run into the old bank. | In a.moment, more men and women and young people of college age were staring down at them and at the splotch of blood forming under Franklin's leg, and everybody seemed to be talking at once.

ICK BANCROFT thought he would go crazy in that long five or 10 seconds when he was forced to watch Roselee jump to a # horse and ride pursuit | of a criminal. He was even more frantic when he finally freed himself of the tourists who had unwittingly hemmed him in, and leaped out to see Roselee 3 few hundred yards behind Carl Quait,” pounding her horse. : There was no other horse at : : hand.

He ran as he had not run since he had carried a football the autumn before, s ” 2 N scarcely ‘five seconds he was there, had- the motor roaring, and in the same breath he had the truck in motion as well. People were yelling behind him. He didn’t heed. He choked and accelerated, bumping over the old rocks and ruts and litter of Main Street. Away in the distance now he saw the two galloping horses, and so he pushed his accelerator to the floor. He caught up with Roselee’s horse before he dared hope to. Quait was still a hundred yards ahead. “STOP!” Dick yelled at her. “ROSELEE, STOP.” He did not wait for her to obey his command.. - He had pulled up 2, on her right at her side. Impulsively, he stepped to the running board of his truck and caught her horse's reins. Then he jumped. The truck swerved: into some ® josua growth, tilted on one side and was halted there, but Dick went bounding (for a full 50 yards before the frightened animal could be | # brought under coatrol. He would 5 A hif the ground with his toes, bounce and jump several feet swing and ¢ , bouhce again, clinging all the while to the reins and shrieking at Roselee to hold tight.
