Amond the Coyotes.

Oroville once marked farthest north
for the Peace river gold camps, but
with mining long ago abandoned it
now marks furthest south for a rus
tiers camp, being favorite resort
for the people of the Williams Cache
country. Oroville boasts that it has
never surrendered and that 1t has
never been cleaned out. 1t has moved,
and been moved, up stream and down,
and from bank to bank; it has been
burned out and blown away and lived
on wheels; but it has never suffered
the loss of it's identity.
Whispering Smith, well busted with
alkali, rode up to the Johnson ranch,
eight miles southwest of Oroville, in
the afternoon of the day after he left
Medicine Bend. The ranch lies in a
valley watered by the Rainbow, and
makes a pretty little oasis Of green
in a limitless waste of sagebrush
Gene and Bob Johnson were cutting
alfalfa when Whispering Smith rode
into the field, and, stopping the now
ers, the three men talked while the
seven horses nibbled the clover.
81 may need a little help, Gene, to
get him out of town." remarked Smith,
after he had told his story; that is, if
there are too many Cache men there
for me-"
Bob Johnson was stripping a stalk
of alfalfa in his fingers. Them fell
lows are pretty Sore"
THAT comes of half doing a job,
Bob. l was in too much of a hurry
with the roundup. They haven't had
dose enough yet" returned Whisper
ing Smith. IF you and Gene will join
me sometime when l have a week to
spare. we viii go in there, clean up
the gang and burn the hair off the
roots of the chapparal-what? I've
limited to Rebstock he could get ready
for something like that"
"Tell us about that fight, Gordon"

OF the men in Jail down there now.
Lance, trying to sweat enough perjury
out of him to send me up. What
show has poor man got against all
the money there is in the country? Z
wouldn't be afraid Of a jury of my own
neighbors-the men that know me,
Lance-any time. What show would
l have with packed jury in Medicine
Bend? I could explain anything I've
done to the satisfaction of any reason
able man. I'm human, Lance; that's
all l say. I've been mistreated and
l don't forget it. They've even turned
my wife against meas fine a woman
as ever lived
Lance swore sympathetically
There's good stuff in you yet, Muir
ray"
I'm going TO say good-by to the
mountains" Sinclair went on, grimly,
''but I'm going to Medicine Bend to-
night and tell the man that has
bounded me what l think of him be-
fore l leave. I'm going to give my
wife chance to do what is right and
go with me. She's been poisoned
against mel know that; but if she
does what's fair and square there'll be
no trouble-no trouble at ALL Ali L
want, Lance, is a square deal. What?''
Dicksie with her pulses throbbing at
fever-heat heard the words She
stood halfway down the stairs, trem-
bling as she listened Anger, hatred,
the spirit of vengeance, choked in her
throat at the sinister words She
longed to stride into the room and
confront the murderer and call down
retribution on his head 1t was no
fear of him that restrained her, for
the Crawling Stone girl never knew
fear. She would have confronted him
and denounced him, but, prodUence
checked her angry impulse. She knew
what he meant to do-to ride into
Medicine Bend under cover of the
storm, murder the two he hated, and
escape in the night; and she resolved
he should never succeed. If she could
only get to the telephones! But the
telephone was in the room where he
sat. He was saying good-by. Her
cousin was trying to dissuade him from
riding out into the storm, but he was
going. The door opened; the men
went out on the porch, and it closed.
Dicksie, lightly as shadow, ran into
the ONCE and began ringing Medicine
Bend on the telephone.

CHAPTER xxxVII.
Dicksie's Ride,

DICkSIe'S Klde.
When Lance Dunning entered the
-oom ten minutes later Dicksie stood
at the telephone; but the ten minutes.
Of that interval had made quite an
other creature of his cousin. The
wires were down and no one from any
ringing. Through the receiver she
could hear only the sweep of the rain
and the harsh crackle of the wind.
Sometimes praying, sometimes fainting.
and sometimes despairing, she stood
clinging to the instrument, ringing
and pounding upon it like one freR-
zied. Lance looked at her in amaze
ment why, God almighty, Dicksie,
what's the matter?"
He called twice to her before she
turned, and her words, almost stunned
him: why did you not detain Sin
clair here tonight? Why did you not
arrest him?"
I.ance's sombrero raked heavily to
one side of his face, and one end OF
his mustache running up much higher
on the other, did not begin to express
his establishment. Arrest him? Ar
rest Sinclair? Dicksie, are you crazy?
Why the devil should / arrest Sin
clair? Do you suppose am going to
mix up in a fight like this? Do you
think 1 want to get killed? The Level
headed man in this country, just at
present, is the man who can keep out
of trouble, and the man who succeeds,
let me tell you, has got more than
plenty to do"
Lance, getting no answer but a
fierce, searching gaze from Dicksie's
wild eyes, laid his hand on chair,
lighted cigar, and sat down before
the fire. Dicksie dropped the tele-
phone receiver, put her hand to her
girdle, and looked at him. When she
spoke her tone was singing. you
know that man is going to Medicine
Bend to kill his wife!"
Lance took the cigar from his mouth
and returned her look. II know no
such thing" he growled, CURLY.
"And to kill George McCloud, if he
can"

Whispering Smith looked at the
cowboy. ''Wickwire, you made good

added, rising. You can thank them

to say goodnight so early, but l have

quietly past McCloud and out of the
door
