CHAPTER Xxx.
Mountain Lion and Desert Coyote.

mountain Lion ana Desert coyote.
There was no time for hesitation
on the part of the trapper. Although
he bore no concern for the safety OF
the Lord of The Desert, under ordi-
nary circumstances, he would not
have him slain by Indians at the
present time. Besides, there were
those in his employ who deserved the
assistance Of their fellowmen.
He announced his intention at once
upon the arrival of Metzger of going
to the fort but thought best to take
few hours sleep before starting out
on so fatiguing journey. Before
lying down, however, all preparations
were made so that upon his waking
he would be able to start at once on
his mission. It was his purpose to
start before daylight that he might
get beyond the rimrocks to the south
before dawn so that the scouts of
Egan, should they be watching the
desert might not discover him.
In the preparations for the journey
he had an able assistant In the per,
son of Bertha Lyle. Her companion
ship, however, was more valuable to
the trapper than her assistance. He
had grown accustomed to doing
everything himself and did not feel
safe in depending upon others.
Everything done by Bertha was either
superintended or inspected by him, to
his satisfaction and generally to her
embarrassment Women think they
know how to do things themselves,
and Bertha was no exception.
But still they did not quarrel. The
man Of the desert knew how he want
ed things arranged and the woman
from Edinburg only desired to please
him. While he was practically child
OF the desert, yet he was intelligent
and had not become one-sided In his
views. He saw the value of woman's
companionship, felt its influence and
had often chided himself since Ber-
tha's arrival for permitting his am
bition to rise In certain directions.
Calm, my boy" he would say. "You
are only a trapper-make your living
in roaming the desert and climbing
the rimrocks and trapping wild ami
mails and skinning them. She is re.
fined. She Is wealthy. While she IS
thrown in your company under most
unfortunate circumstances, she could
not be otherwise that grateful, she
will always be grateful-wlll regard
you as a preserver and friend, but
nothing more. my boy. Do not build
up false hopes, young man. Remain
within your bounds and you win not
come to grief. So let the matter
drop"
Thus would reason this man Of the
frontier when nature awakened his
heart to love.
After making preparations for the
trip he had given instructions to
his companions concerning their ac-
tion in his absence. He suspected
that Indian scouts might visit his
abode and impressed upon his friends

Once upon a time a very nervous

spirit for revenge knew no bounds
He had already determined his course
should the Lord delay settlement
longer.
He had not been asleep all OF
these years, either, in regard to the
Lords affairs. He went straight to
the hiding place of Lyle's treasury
and helped himself Ten thousand
dollars in gold and bank notes he
took and secured safely In belt al
ready prepared next to his body.
Then like coyote he skulked away,
passing through the guard of exult-
ant warriors, grown careless with
confidence In superior numbers, and
stealing one of their best horses
rode away in the darkness. AS their
bloodthirsty war-whoops chimed In
about the Stone House, he glanced
back through the darkness and said;
'Devour them, Lord of The Desert

horses track.
But. as the reader knows, Ham

The trapper had only used ordinary
care on his trip from home, while
Follett had been on the scent like a
hungry wolf. Although compelled to
go long distances out of his way on
account Of being mounted, to get
around the numerous walls Of rim
rocks, he had gotten the trapper's
course and was determined to head
him of ere he should reach the fort.
and kill him to prevent the Lord of
The Desert from receiving aid. He
had no hatred for Hammersley, but
he would have sacrificed a bosom
friend to crafty his revengeful spirit.
He had already discovered the trap
per's approach and had preceded him
to a point near the fort where he ex-
pected to hide among the boulders
and stop the trapper forever from the
desert trail. Hiding his horse In a
gulch in the background he secreted
himself near the trail and waited the
approach of the trapper.
When he was within a few PAGES
Follett leveled his revolver and when
the trapper approached within a few
feet Of him the scoundrel pulled the
trigger. But fortunately the percus-
sion cap did not explode. Drawing
his knife hurriedly the would-be as
