THE STRANGE BATTLE IN THE WITCH'S CAVE.
"Quick! Into the woods, boys!" snapped the world-famous desperado.
Instantly the bandits sprang to obey.
Fully ten feet away were the evergreens.
Desperately the men sought to gain their cover.
But less than half the distance had they traversed when from above there rang out in stentorian command:
"Fire!"
R-r-rip! crashed the sharp, staccato volley of carbines.
The aim of the cavalrymen was deadly.
