CHAPTER XIV.

Nightfall of a weary day had come. Camp
Sandy. startled from sleep in the dark hour
before the dawn. had found topic for much
exciting talk. and was getting tired as the
twilight waned. No word had come from
the party sent in search of Downs, now
deemed a deserter. No sign of him had
been found about the post No expGana-
ton had occurred to either Cutler or Ora
ham of the parting between Elise and the
late striker" She had never been known
TO notice or favor him In any way before.
Her smiles and coquetries had been lavisheo
on the sergeants. In Downs there was
nothing whatsoever to attract her. 1t was
no. likely she had given him money, said
Cutler. because he was about the post all
that day after the Plumes departure and

ranchmen. packers and prospectors forever
hanging about the post there were plenty
ready to play middleman for any one who
could supply the cash. and in this waJ

gone. that was certain, and the question
was. which way?
A sergeant and two men had taken the
Prescott road, followed IL to Dicks ranch,
in the Cherry Greek valley, and were as
sured the missing man had never gone that
way. Dick was himself a veteran trooper
of the -th. He had invested his savings in
this little estate and settled thereon to
grow up with the country-the STANDARDS
winsome Mille having accepted life inter-
est in him and his modest property. They
knew every man riding that trail. from the

out of the same number of children who
