1t was with a feeling of gloomy de-
preston that Dan Riggsby on his way
to the Marmaton settlement, several
miles to the north, hurried onward
through the high grass, pausing now
and then to listen for sounds Of any OF
the enemy that might be lurking in his
course.
Keeping close to the edge of the woods
he made his way rapidly along the creek

STARTLING NEws--wAITING FOR THE AT

STARTLING NEws-wAITING FOR THE At
TACK.
That his temporary absence from that
vicinity was an absolute necessity Dan
Riggsby felt fully convinced, for to re-
main under the existing circumstances
would be but to bring the summary
wrath of the cattlemen, not only upon
himself, but upon his father as well.
But if he could go away and remain
for week or two till the excitement
subsidized he might then return with some
assurance of being dealt with in just
manner. If Bud Ropes had really been
killed, he reflected, the fact of it having
been done with his own weapon would
tend to acquit him i'll the eye of justice.
But meantime what was going on at
the Travellers Rest?
The stagecoach for Fort Scott, which
carried away the scheming Suggs and
Dill, had been gone an hour, and it was
not far from nine o'clock when Simon
Riggsby walked into the yard and gazed
searchingly across the prairie to the west.
wonder what can be keepin Dan?' he
muttered Reckon he must "a went
ter tell the settlers about the trouble with
the cattlemen, but it's time he was back
an hour ago."
Scarcely had he finished speaking when
the pony that Dan had ridden that morn
ing came trotting from behind the stable,
the broken bride reins trailing beneath
his feet, while across the horn of the
saddle still hung the rife where Dan had
placed it.
IVY, that's quare," commented Mr..
Riggsby, going forward and catching
the pony. wonder how he come ter
git away from Dan? Must "a left him
hitched somewhat an he broke loose.
Reckon I'd better go see about him."

Hitching the pony to post near by,
he was about to enter the stable to sad.
die his own horse when he caught sight
of some one coming across the prairie on
horseback and riding at gallop.
In few minutes the horseman drew
rein at the stable. 1t was Ike Baker,
the settler whom Dan had visited early
that morning.
"Howdy, Ikey greeted Mr.. Riggsby.
"Seen anything of Dan? He rode over
your way this mornin."
Eyes; he was at my house this mornin
and told me to come over hyar, as We ex-
pected ter have some trouble with the
cattlemen."
oval, his boss jist come back without
him." replied Mr.. Riggsby, IAN | was
jist thinkin of goin ter see about him.
Hoss got away, reckon, from whar he
left him hitched."
81 don't know; l hain't seed him since
he wor at my cabin"
"If he don't come perty soon I'll ride
over an see what's happened ter him.
Better light an hitch yer boss, an we'll
talk over the matter about the cattle
men,"
For half hour the two men con-
versed in low tones. Suddenly they
were interrupted by the sound of ap.
preaching hoofs, and turning they be.
held Ben Ropes riding toward them at
gallop, followed by half dozen cow
boys. They halted short distance away,
and Ropes spurred his horse forward to
where the two men stood.
Where's that young murderer cried
Ropes, as he drew rein.
"What do We meanY" asked Riggsby.
II mean this-that your son has gone
and murdered my boy, Bud, and we
want him.
Look hyar" cried Riggsby, "what
do We mean by that kind of talk? Dan
hain't hurt nobody"
He shot my son." replied Ropes, land
we're here to punish him for it"
"Why, what has happened? What!
do yer mean that Dan has shot yer boyT'
and there was look of profound aston
ishment on the landlords face.
You heard what said; the boys got
into a quarrel this morning and Dan
shot Bud"
lis he dead, and how did it all happen?'
"Oh, he amt dead yet, but it amt no
fault of your boys, for he tried to kill
him"
II never knowed Dan ter be quarrel
some," said Mr.. Riggsby, IAN as fer
shootin any one he wouldn't do it I'M
less it wor in self defense" Here he
took the rifle that was still hanging to
the saddle of Dams pony, and examin-
ing it continued: IVY, his guns hyar
an hain't never been shot off. Thar
must be some mistake"
There is no mistake; we saw him do
the shooting. Is the boy here? If he is
