try held his attention.
From the western end of the hut was
something suspended about half way
up its height. 1t might be, as his IA
ther had said. merely worthless bun
die of no interest, but he could not
drive the belief from his mind that it
was possessed of life. He fancied that
he saw it move, and once, as he gazed
through the glass. he was almost GER
tain that a white imploring face had
been. brought close to his own. This
haunting vision was constantly before
him as he and his father went into
camp on the bank of beautiful
with keen relish the long. sweet grass
carpeting the valley.
Finding he could not swerve his ia
ther from his unbelief. he tried to for
get all about IT. and an hour later both
Of them had lain down under their
blankets for nights sleep.
1t must have been resr midnight
when Harry awoke with ,tart in the
midst Of a dream that caused him to
spring to his feet with low cry of ter
ror. He thought he had been to the old
hut, to find there a little girl suffering
untold agony from being hung by a
rope from the miserable abode, while
a dozen fiends in human shape danced
about her.
His father was fast asleep, while the
horses. having eaten their fill of the
grass. stood quietly nodding a short
distance away. The very silence of
the lonely scene made his dream stand
out more real and terrifying. Unable
to sleep, he walked down to the side of
his horse. and almost before he knew 1t
he was putting the saddle on its back.
"It won't take long to ride over
there" he thought, land will be back
before father wakes. II keep a sharp
lookout no harm can arise from my
trip. 1t would be SO satisfying to know
the truth
Being careful to fix the direction in
his mind, Harry rode silently on his
lonely journey, which, had he dreamed
was going to prove so long. he would
never have ventured to undertake.
The day was breaking as at last he
ascended the range where he felt con-
ndent he should find the Mexican's hut.
He was not disappointed, for at the
edge Of the forest he was gladdened by
the sight Of the homely building. From
his position he could not see the OBJ
ject which had caused him to under
take what he was ready now to be-
lieve was a foolhardy journey. No
doubt 1t had been some illusion OF the
gaze, and he was tempted to start back
to hnd his father without climbing to
the top Of the ridge. which was sleeper

lance.
