against the back of the seat and her
eyes were closed, but he was pretty
certain she was not asleep. Dolores,
you remember the tanning OF my mare
just after FIRST met you. and the ex-
element and indignation among us
because Of II. and our inability to
catch the fellow, though suspicion
pointed strongly in one direction?"
She roused with a sinking at heart
when the young man spoke; she shook

ing for what might be coming upon
her.
Dolores" he said, and he tried to
keep his voice steady, for her sake as
well as his own; I'VE have been fol-
lowing up every clew, letting nothing
slip us in this matter. as doubtless you
have heard, no matter how trivial II
might appear. Just before the deed

had her out of the stable, her hoofs
bound to deaden the sound, but she
would whinny in her excitement and
terror OF the rough men, and that
saved her. We were late home that
evening from the house Of a friend,

caught, but the other made good his
escape.

on, and there was touch OF pleasure
in his voice that Dolores caught with
dull sense Of dead pain. 1T was only
yesterday that we caught the fellow
but we have him safe and sure enough
now"
Surely they had not-Dolores caught
her breath, and her swift, terrified
eyes flashed upon his startlingly. His
own eyes darkened as though with
troubled thought.
