Darrell COURTS THE MUSE.


Murgatroyd was taken to jail-not
the one in which Darrell had been con-
fined, but another, where escape could
not be facilitated by the drifts from
Eponay creek-and a man was posted

borne away to a cabin and kept I'M
der the constant surveillance of a dep
uty marshal.
Darrell would not return to the Grand
Central. He told Lenyard that he had
deceived Mrs. Gorton and Elise by

In the brief, lowering stiffness that
followed there was not one but looked
upon McCloud in pity and upon Muir

private room, heard him read the note
from Darrell and was asked to help
him commit a murder!"
Not asked" returned McCloud,
hoarsely, Commanded Perhaps l
should have obeyed him but for what
happened. Murgatroyd stood at the
Office window, looking down into the
street. He saw Darrell walking slowly
in the direction Of Hawkbills. Spin
ming around, Murgatroyd said to me:
There is my man now; he is go
ing to Hawkbill's, but he shall never
reach there alive. will spring out
into his path suddenly, from between

easy shot
Then Murgatroyd hurried away.
picked up the revolver from the desk
and stepped to the window as directed.
I could see Darrell plainly and Tecog-
nized him as man l had met earlier
in the day at the Half Way house, on
the trail from Anaconda.
while I stood watching a form
leaped from the buildings and con-
fronted Darrell could not make out
the form distinctly, owing to the
shadow of the buildings. but revolver
cleaned in the mans hand. 1 could
not kill Darrell, but the thought struck
me that could kill Murgatroyd and
sweep the incarnate devil forever from
my path. / sighted the gun carefully
and fired. My God, gentlemen! when
l found out later that Darrell had been
imprisoned, accused of the murder of
Sturgis-when 1 learned that l had
slain the wrong man with such terri
BILE consequences to another, the earth
slipped away beneath me and thought
should die! thought"
The words trembled on his lips and
faded away to silence. With wild
tossing of the arms McCloud stood up
Keeling, his eyes gazing on a point
above Pay tons he'd.
That's a lie, NIcCloud, and you
know it," came the cutting words OF
Murgatroyd. He had risen behind the
doctor and stood like a statue, his
manacled hands stretched toward Nc
| Cloud and his burning sgaze fixed on
his face. Tell these men that you
have spoken lie! Tell them you are
trying to revenge yourself against me

A deep oath and a sudden rush of
feet interrupted the speaker; then a
brawny fist leaped out like lightning
and struck him down.

man in irons," said Merrick, turning
blackly from his work, .'but that cur
deserved it. There, Darrel-McCloud

McCloud, with a feeble moan

him and eased him to the floor. His
form became rigid, his eyes staring
and he was again as Darrell had seen
him in Kansas Joes old hut, just of
the War Eagle trail.
