fortunate. With water works sys-
tenn costing thousands Of dollars and
piping and taps in t.1l5 homes, the

one and all he gives the same reply:
''Wa are doing th, very best we can

The bullet that killed Sturgis was
In the possession of the doctor at
Sandy Bar. Would that bullet show
the mark which Darrell had put upon
every load in the weapon belonging to
Murgatroyd?
Darrell picked up the candle and
stepped to the bunk. Other matters,
till now, had kept him from thinking
much of the strange silence of Junius
McCloud
A deathly pallor lurked in McCioud's
eyes. Darrell laid hand on the heart
but detected not the slightest pulsation.
The fugitive looked pensively down
on the silent form. Death had sealed
the lips which could have explained
the presence of that revolver.
In turning away, Darrell saw paper
bag on a shelf near the head of the
bunk. The bag contained food. Fam
ished as he was he began eating at
once, carrying the bag to the table and
clearing a place in front OF him.
