CHAPTER XIII.


Macpherson's trial was set for the
October term of court, and I was not
without the hope of being able to go
to the fort in term time to appear
for him. The case was not as simple
as it seemed. Wykamp's evidence
would be difficult to set aside; and
only those who knew Macpherson
would be able to escape the suspicion
which pointed naturally to the man
whom the land company's scheme
would dispossess. There were two or
three ways to clear Angus, but just
how to do it without duplicating Sell
ter was a problem. AS last resort,
I determined to bring the Tennessee
an to book; and this determination
was clinched when Setter refused to
come to the rescue of his own mo-
ton. I put it to him conditionally,
asking him if he would make depo-
sition and take his chances of escape
If it should become necessary to save
Mac from paying the penalty in his
stead.
II reckon We wouldn't hardly expect
a man to do that Their, would We, Mr..
Halcott?" he said, when I had laid
the matter before him. "Ez you say,
Macs been powerful good friend to
me, an all that, but Tiers limits,
amt ther'?"
said yes, and did not urge him,
but I made out my case for Angus
with a ruthless alternative in reserve.
If I couldn't clear him without involv-
ing Setter, the Tennesseean should
pay the price.
In the meantime, matters went on
the even tenor of their way in the
valley. For purpose of my own, q
purpose which detailed itself at some
length in a technical correspondence
with my legal partners in Denver, I
dissuaded Winifred from leaving the
valley; nay, more; I even succeeded
in convincing her that it was her duty
to take the Valley Head school for
the fall term. She did it; did it under
protest, I fancy; but that mattered
not so long as my end was subserved.
Not to make a mystery of it here, I
was determined to set her free, le-
gally, and it, was a strong point in
her case to have her resident within
rifeshot of her husbands camp and
ignored by him. There was but one
plea which could be set up and sus-
tanned against Wykamp, but the evil
dence of that was not lacking. Nan
no longer went about her work with
a laugh and gibe for all corners.
She hid herself, as is the wont of
| such stricken creatures.
Now that it is all over, willingly
confess that had serious doubts as
to my ability to persuade Winifred
to appear in court in her own behalf;
| doubts which would have been con-
victions had known her half so well
as I thought did. For her the in
complete marriage was a bond not
to be set aside by any decree of court,
and ought to have known it from
the beginning. Bad as he was WV
kamp was still her husband, and did
her an injustice by daring to hope
that his added sin would make her
forget it.
It was in the latter part of Septem-
Der that the Glenlivat dam was COM
pleted, and the great canal with it's
laterals was ready to receive the
water. The turning on was set for
the first day of October, and there
was to be some fitting celebration Of
the event. A rude barrack for the

The big man with the 'bushman

blurted out; i'd if I wouldn't. But
I've got a warrant for you.''
For me? What have T been do

the easier. \

free to marry her. But such poor
amends as money may make should
at least be hers; and at the apex of
this thought determined to follow
her, and to do what a man and law
yer might do to help her.
When I came in sight of the high
wall of masonry cutting the upper
canyon across, the thunder was a-roll
in the upper air. could hear the
mutter and growl of it, and the vivid
sun brightness of the day, and the
clear arch of the sky, with no
other hint of a storm abroad, gave
it a weird effect. The water of the
diminishing torrent was pouring oyer
the waste weir; and, as on that night
when I had crept trembling across
the fume bridge, the engineer was
perched upon his barrier, gazing
down at the food. .... . $50.
Nan was on the trail below, just
where Macpherson had drawn rein on
the night of the explosion, and when
I came in sight she was calling to
Wykamp. WAS too far away to hear
what she was saying, and the thunder
of the waste weir must have made
her words inaudible to the engineer:
but her impassioned gestures were
eloquent. She was pleading with him
or warning him, I know not which,
and while I looked Wykamp signed
assent and turned to retrace his
steps to the nearest abutment.
I thought it might be as well to
hold aloof until the time for inter,
ference should be fully ripe, and
climbed to perch on the steep slope

Macpherson smoked his pipe quite
to extinction before he spoke again.
Then he said: "Jack, I'm a little
tangled on the ethics of this thing.
Could it do any possible harm to any,
body If we keep this thing to our
selves?"
II don't see that it can. Jake has
paid the penalty. He's we'll out of
reach of any court of ours.''
"That's what I was thinking. And
if we publish it, it'll likely make it
harder for a poor, miserable, desti-
tute widow woman"
I'm with you," I agreed. "And
now for your plans. I don't think
the Glenlivat people will trouble you
for year or two, and the suit
against you will fall to the ground
without Wykamp's evidence. Will
you go quietly back to your cow
punching and make hay while the
sun shines?''
His smile was inscrutable. IF it's
all the same to you, think I'll go
on with the dirt-washing on my
placer claim" -|
But you can't; your bars gone"
The mysterious smile held it's own.
ITS pretty spiteful wind that
blows nobody good, Jack. As you
say, the bars gone, but there is an
other one formed just below. went

CAMP ROOT BROKEN UP.
Within Fifteen Minutes tho Fifteen Hun
dred Tents We're Taken Down ana
Loaded In Wagons

Fort Riley, Kan, Oct. 1O.-For two
weeks officers Of the national guard
from nearly all the states between
Wisconsin and Georgia, California
and Rhode Island have remained at
Camp Root witnessing practical OBJ
iect lessons in the movement OF
armies and the control of men in &C.
ton. There were very few Of them
in camp yesterday morning, nearly
all having left for their homes. Had
those who departed prolonged their
visit but one day, they would have
gained knowledge Of the art OF
swiftly placing an army in motion,
second in Importance to nothing they
have acquired concerning the more
snowy operations in the field.
At 500 yesterday morning 1000
tents stood in the camp just as they
have stood for the last fortnight. All
their ropes had been loosened, how
ever, and at 5000 tent corners stood
G,OOO men, each holding a tent rope
simultaneously the 5000 soldiers
loosened the ropes they held and in
stantly every tent was on the ground.
Where a city of 1900 tents had stood
there was nothing. Quickly the tent
poles were withdrawn, placed in bun
dies, the tents rolled up and tied in
packages Of five; tent stakes were
pulled, piled and tied, the waiting
wagons rolled up, were loaded and
drove away to the trains waiting on
the Union Pacific tracks, near the
camp. Within IS minutes every tent
was ready for shipment and the first
loads Of them we're placed aboard the
cars for transportation to Omaha,
where all of the tentage was sent.

ADMIRAL B0wLES' REPORT.
Progress on the New Vessels being Goa
structsd Delayed Because Of Sew
eral Reasons.

Washington, Oct. 13.-"Progress
upon new vessels under construction
during the past year has not been
satisfactory" says Rear Admiral
Bowles, chief Of the naval bureau OF
construction, in his annual report to
the secretary Of the navy. All tho
larger vessels, he says, have been de-
layed by non-delivery Of structural
steel, while the vessels building at
San Francisco were set back by the
ten months strike, and the hold-out
of the workmen at Seattle prevented
any actual progress on the structure
of the hull Of the battleship Nebras-
ka building there. The delay in the
deliveries Of armor for the battle
ships Maine, Missouri and Ohio ana
the monitors Arkansas, Florida, Ne
vada and Wyoming has retarded the
completion Of these vessels, concur
rcntly with other cases. The inabil-
ity of shipbuilders to obtain SUI
fcient force Of skilled workers also
has been in many cases an important
factor in the slow progress OF the
vessels.
