Cullen joined Us at this point, and
knowing that every moment we remain
ed would be distressing TO his sister

upwe fell into single file behind Hance,

AS soon as we We're started l took a
look at the three letters. They We're all
addressed to Theodore Z. Camp Esq,
Ash Forks, A. T., one of the directors
of the X and A. and also of the Great
Southern. For the first time things be-
gan to clear up to me. When the trail
broadened enough to permit it, pushed
my mule up alongside of Cullen and
asked:

K. and A. election next Friday
He nodded his head. 1.-The Missouri

was so pathetic as nearly to drive me
frantic.
We started little after and We're
clear of the timber before il was too dark
to see. At the relay station we waited an
hour for the moon, after which IL was a
clear track. We reached the half way
ranch about IL, and while changing the
stage horses reused Mrs. Klosterneyor

decent looking sandwiches. With these

TO the stage, to find Miss Cullen curled
up on the scat asleep, her head resting
in her brothers arms.

death ever since you told her that road

boldly:

what letters?" she asked. looking
me in the eyes with the most innocent
Of expressions. She made mistake to
do that, for 1 knew her innocence was
feigned and so didn't put much faith in
her face for the rest of the interview.

me as if was his servant, had refused
my apology and thanks and been as gen

you won't blame me that, after looking
through his trousers, gave them a toss
which, instead of sending them back
into the hut, sent them over the edge~of
the trad. They went down 600 feet be-
fore they lodged in a poplar. and if his
lordship followed the trail he could get
round to them, but there would then be
100 feet of sheer rock between the trail
and the trousers. II hope it will teach
