"I couldn't pot him for fear of hitting you," Swergin went on. "I'll get him and get him good,' he added by way of reassurance.

Swargin delivered Dona to her father's arms and rushed for the doctor. Asper carried his daughter to hor room tenderly. He was trembling with fear as he bent over her silent form.
The doctor came. Rapidly he worked over Dona'a limp form. Asper slood rooted to the spot, his eyea never wavering from, Donn's white face.

"Have you geen Winters?" Asper asked Malloy, as the latter xrouted him.
"Saw him about three hours ago. He saddled up and left." Malloy turned fazlly toward the corral gate.

Aspor turned toward the main building and hurrled up the path. He entered the sick room softly and stood behind the doctor who was Hilting at Donn's side. The doctor did not look up for a long time. Finally he got up with a nod of his head and walked out into the hall. Asper followed him eagerly.
"How is she?" he demanded. "Resting easy but she will not be able to tell you anything until to- morrow. You must stay close until she come to herself. I will likely i need you then." The doctor seemed to menn this for a dismissal.
