- CHAPTER LX From the village a dull, angry roar fumbled, gaining in volume until it reached the ears of the fighters. “By the I^.rd, Adda has done it!” Bob cried. “The townspeople arc coming. Tins will be a black day for Morales when his peons remember past debts.” No time to say more. Suddenly from the southern patio of the hacienda burst a band of vaqueros, Lighting to reach the corrals. Savagely the Yaqui threw themselves on their blood enemies, and the crack of firearms gave place to the heavy thud of flesh on flesh. Close quarters now. The band of El Coyote w-us settling old s. ores, with knives and with bare hands. Caught up in a swirl of fighting peons, Ted wai swept toward the corral in time to see tbe villagers fall upon a knot of varpicros who had fought their way to the gate. Towering bead and shoe.filers above them all he moved like some angry war god, raging through the thi. k of the fighting until to the terrified vaqueros the big Americano scented at every turn of the crowded courtyard. 'Ted, too, was paying an old debt. But always bis eyes searched re-t? lessly for something they could not find—the huge figure of Morales’s chief vaquero. At length be stopped, heedless of the cries that rose about hint, and turned to tbe hacienda. Jito and Morales—they must he there. His hands tightened on the heavy ;gun, and with narrowed eyes he ran

forward.

Just ahead he caught sight of Bob, automatiis bla/mg in both hands, lighting his way into the hacienda. Death was flail ing from every window. Lor an iu-tant led saw the great form of Jito appear *bove him and fire into the men beneath. But outside the shots were less frequent. Except for the hacienda itself, the forces of Morales Were defeated. Leaping over prostrate forms, pushing his way forward, Ted pi. -'d on to the door. Smoke hung low in the patio and a deathlike silence hovered there. 'The change from '..lazing morning light to tbe haeiei da's smoke-filled Ob-cunty halt' I him, and for a moiu nt he closed bis eyes. Slowly the long patio took on shadowy outline. At tbe farther end the stairs revealed themselves through the smoke-laden gloom, and there, motionless in the half-light; Ted's startled eyes saw the two antagonists at g.i/e. Half-way down the stairs Morales had stopped, and now look'd silently down into the upturned face of Don Bob. In tbe Spaniard's band was a black automatic. and on hi- fips the same halfcruel, half-jesting smile, as for the la-t time he confronted the man who bad wrested away bis kingdom. Bob made no move, no sound. .Steadily

bis steel gray ewes burned back, and tbe bands that grasped the automatics tightened. Like statues, like shadowy portentous statues, they stood there, while even the hushed dawn seemed to await tbe destined end. ' Held by the deadly intensity of that moment, 'Ted tried to ery out, but only a hoarse wfii-per came. So, for tbe space of a heart-beat, those two enemies looked into earb other’s eyes, then from their bands blue flames leaped and tbe silence of tbe patio was shattered with tbe crash of death. Morales's gun clattered upon tbe stairs. His clutching lingers reached to bis throat. He tried to cough, but could not. His legs doubled beneath hiiu. He dropped slowly, and lay

still.

At the foot of the stairs Ted raised in his arms the outstretched figure of Don Bob. The lighting, tbe hiss of lead, tbe crack of rifles, were forgotten.

A shadow fell across tbe doorway. A slender form dropped to her knees boide him and Ted's eyes looked for a moment into the rves of Ann Gently she raised Bob's bead, pressing it against her breast, laying her wet cheek against tbe grizzled hair. Heartbreakingly her soft finger? touched his face and his closed eyes, and tremulous lips breathed brokenly the one word, "Bob.” Again and once again that low voice called "nob," until at last the heavy anguish of despair silenced all sound and only the eyes spoke all that her lips had found too late to -ay. Moments passed over that little tableau of desolation. An eternity of moments, then the man's lids fluttered feebly and for the la-t time the gray eyes smiled weakly up. A new peace touched that pale face. Once the lips moved, as if to say some word, but the word died back into nothingness, and now for all time tbe gray eyes closed. The long light was over.
