CHAPTER XVI.

The captain was himself on guard on
the other side Of the camp, and he quick
~ came up to find out what the confu-
sion meant.
"This girl is suffering for food and
rest, said Harkins, "and must be at
tended to first. Then you shall have
the story"
He quietly awoke Bess, made brief
explanation, and after Lizzie had been
provided with food the two girls sought.
the wagon and Harkins sat down with
the captain and Joe to tell his story
While certain in his own mind that
Taylor had fired upon him, there was no
proof. Neither Of his listeners doubted
that assassination had been intended,
but unless Taylor broke down and con-
fessed it what could they do? Moral
certainty is not proof
"And what makes the thing more
strange to me is the fact that he must
have had a strong motive" said the cap
tain.
-And we can't guess it." added Joe.
Then Harkins told them Of the death
bed revelation Of the old hunter. and the
motive was plain. Taylor was deter
mined to possess the secret alone. lie
told them of the renegades and their er-
rand-of the girl he had rescued and
what had happened to her, and Of the
einissary who might be expected to ap-
pear in camp next forenoon. 1t was
daybreal before they were through talk
ing, and yet only the two men and Bess
/ knew OF the arrivals
The first thing is to dispose Of Tay-
/ Tor, said the captain in response to an in
quiry of what should be done "The
men will soon be astir, and Harkins had
hest lie low for a couple Of hours As

But he was troubled that he had motto
a better story. Bef@'e firing the shot
he had planned just how he would act
and what he would say. The fear which
guilt always brings had upset him and
caused him to halt and hesitate and tell
a very lame story.
Many man who has planned crime
has thought it all over and prepared
himself at every point only to realize
after its commission that he left loop
holes in his aImor Of defense.
1t was long after dark before Taylor
rose up. He had then settled on a story
from which he would not vary. He told
it to the men, and he told it with such
apparent sincerity that some of them be-
lieved him, while none disputed. Bess
had come forward to hear it, as was her
right When he had finished there was
a long, painful silence, broken at last by
the girl, who said:
IF this story be true you have done
only what another might do so situated.
We shall know tomorrow You can
find the place again, and you will lead
US there"
IL was dreadfully turned around,
and mightnot be able to find the exact
spot, replied Taylor.
"You mustr answered Bess. "My
fathers bones must not lie unburiedl
His death shall not 90 unavengedr
"Well, III try, and if WE all lose our
scalps in the effort cannot be held re-
sponsibe. I'm sure there's an Indian
camp not far from that spot, and it's a
wonder to me we haven't been attacked
since came in. There were as many
as seven right after me for two or three
miles"
The men, and especially Joe, had
looked to see the girl break down under
the strain, but she did not She fought
against it and chung to the hope that
her father still lived, though he might
be wounded and a prisoner.
Midnight came and all was quiet
Joe went on guard at that hour, and
an hour later, as all. his senses were
\ keenly alert, he heard whistle. Nc

later man and woman approached
him from out Of the darkness.

''What did you fire at today?' asked
Joe as he reached for Taylor's gun and
proved by the backing on his finger
thrust into the bore that it had been re-
Gently discharged.
I'll fired on the Injuns, Of course, :"
stammered Taylor.
"Oh, you did! We thought You said
you had your gun on your back and was
climbing up a mass Of rock to get look
around;"
"I-rve got to lie down and think it
over and quiet my nerves. I've had such
a close call that I'm ratified and can't re-
member just how it all was"
AS Taylor flung himself down the
men gathered in a group to discuss his
story. There was something queer about
1t, but as no one knew Of his feeling
against HarlIins there was no key to his
actions. Bess sought to furnish one by
saying;
II know this man hated father, and /
could see it every time he looked at MS.
Why he did do not know, but | know
that he had an i'll will. If father is dead
be had something to do with it!"
"Hush. childl7 cautioned the captain
Of the train ''YOur father and Taylor
were good friends as far as l could soc.
It is an awful charge to bring against a
man-that Of betraying a comrade."
''But he told two or three different
stories about it," answered Joe. "and
his actions are suspicious. If he has
done this he shall"--
Il win shoot him with my own handr
sternly replied the captain. Let every
thing rest till he awakes. 1t may have
been as he says-that fright and exhaus-
tion may have upset him."
But be must guide us to the spot in
the morning" persisted Joe.
Il shall insist upon that, even if we
have to leave tho camp alone, added
Bess.
