She closed the door. She had even
strength enough TO bolt II before his
footsteps died away. she put out the
light and felt her way blindly back to
the workroom. She staggered through
it, clutching at the curtains, and fell
in the darkness into Dicksies arms.
Marion, dear. don't speak," Dicksie
whispered. Il heard everything. oh,

in her arms. "Oh, what shall | do?"
Moved by fright to her utmost

managed to lay her on the bed. Mari
on opened her eyes a few minutes
later to see the lights burning. to hear
the telephone bell ringing, and TO find
Dicksie on the edge of the bed beside
her.

What are you thinking Of? Mr..

minutes. Do you want him in the
street tonight"
Dicksie fed to the telephone, and
an excited conference over the wire
closed in seeming reinsurance at both
ends. by that time Marion had re-
gained her steadiness, but she could
not talk Of what had passed. At times,
~ the two lay together in tho dark

Whispering Smith looked at Dicksie,
quizzically. Her confusion was de-
lightful. He rose. lifted her hand in
his own, and, bending. kissed 1t.
They talked till late, and when
Dicksie walked on the porch McCloud
followed to smoke. Whispering Smith
still sat at the table talking to Marion,
and the two heard the sound of the
low voices outside. At intervals Dick
sizes laugh came in through the open
door.
Whispering Smith, listening, said
nothing for some time, but once she
laughed peculiarly. He pricked up his
ears. What has been happening since
l left town."
What do you mean?" asked Marion
Sinclair.

woman laughs like that think there's
something doing. Don't you believe
It? Call them in and ask them. You
won't? Well, l will. Take them in
separate rooms. You ask her and I'll
ask him"
In spite of Marions protests the two
were brought in. Il am required by
Mr.. Smith to ask you a very silly
question. Dicksie," said Marion, taking
her into the living room. Answer yes
or no. Are you engaged to anybody"
what a question! Why, MOI"
Marion Sinclair wants to know just
one thing. George" said Whispering
Smith to McCloud, after he had taken
him into the dark shop. "She feels
she ought to know because she is in a
way Dicksie's chaperone, you know,
and she feels that you are willing she
should know. l don't want to be too
serious. but answer yes or no. Are
you engaged to Dicksie?"
why, yes. L"
That's all; go back to the porch"
directed Whispering Smith. McCloud
obeyed orders.
Marion, alone in the living room,
was waiting for the inquisitor. and her
face wore a look OF triumph. You
are not such a mind-reader after all,
are you? told you they weren't"
Il told you they WERE" contended
Smith.
''She says they are not" insisted
Marion.
'He says they are" returned Whis-
pering Smith. And, what's more,

Murray Sinclair a1s his gang Of wreck
ers were called out 20 clear the railroad
tracks at Smoky Creek. McCloud, a
young road superintendent caught SIN
clair and his men in the act of looting
the wrecked train. Sinclair pleaded In
nocence, declaring Il only amounted to a
small sum-a treat for the men. McCloud
discharged the whole outfit and ordered
the wreckage burned McCloud became
acquainted with Dicksie Dunning, girl
Of the west. who came to look at the
wreck. whispering" Gordon Smith told
President Bucks OF the railroad. OF Nc
Clouds brave eight against a gang OF
crazed miners and that was the reason
for the superintendent's appointment to
his office. McCloud arranged board at
the boarding house OF Mrs. Sinclair, the
ex-foreman's deserted wife. DiclIsie Dun

killed. whispering Smith" approached
Sinclair. He tried to buy him OF. but
failed. He warned McCloud that his life
was in danger. McCloud was carried
forcibiy into Lance Dunning's presence.
Dunning refused the railroad a right-of-
way, he had already signed for. Dicksie
interfered to prevent a shooting ARRAY.
Dicksie met McCloud on a lonely trail to
warn him his life was In danger. On his
way home a shot passed through his hat.
A sudden rise of the Crawling Stone riv-
er created CONSERVATION. Dicksie and Ma
rion appealed to McCloud for help. Whis-
pering Smith Joined the group. McCloud
took his men to fight the river. Lance
Dunning welcomed them cordially. Nc
Cloud succeeded in hating the food.
Dicksie and Marion visited Sinclair at his
ranch. He tried to persuade his deserted
wife to return to him. She refused. He
accused Whispering Smith OF having
held up and robbed. the bandits escap-
suit. At Baggs ranch Du Sang killed old
Bags. Whispering Smith befriended his
ten-Year-old son. They came TO Williams
Cache. Smith was certain the bandits
were there. He importuned Rebstock,

Rebstock refused. Smith declared he
would clean out the whole gang inclu-
ding Rebstock. Smith came upon the
bandits, Du Sang among them. Single
handed he routed them all. He set In

CHAPTER XXI.
A Midnight Visit.

a Midnight Visit.
The lights. but one, were out. Nc
Cloud and Whispering Smith had gone,
and Marion was locking up the house
for the night, when she was halted by
knock at the shop door. 1t was a
summons that she thought she knew,
but thelas in heworldthat she wanted
to hear or to answer. Dicksie had
gone to the bedroom, and standing
between the portieres mat curtaineo
the workroom from the shop, Marion
in the half-light listened, hesitating
whether to ignore or to answer the
midnight intruder. But experience,
and bitter experience, had taught her
there was only one way to meet that
particular summons, and that was to
act, whether at noon or at midnight,
without fear. She waited until the
knocking had been twice repeated,
turned up the light, and going to the
door drew the bolt; Sinclair stood be-
fore her, and she drew back for him
to enter. "Dicksie Cunning is with
me tonight" said Marion, with her
hand on the latch, "and we shall have
to talk here"
Sinclair took of his hat. Il knew
you had company" he returned in the
low, gentle tone that Marion knew
very well, so / came late. And /
heard tonight. for the first time, that

knows why; but they have TO earn

won't quarrel with them, Marion, II

so I've come to talk 1t over once more

you to go with me; I've got enough to
