CHAPTER XXI.
The Man on the Frenchman.

Sinclair'S place on the Frenchman backed up on sharp rise against the foothills of the Bridger range. and the ranch buildings were strung along the creek. The ranchhouse stood on ground high enough to command the country for miles up and down the valley.
 Only two roads lead from Medicine Bend and the south into the French man country one a wagon road fol lowing Smoky creek and running through Dale canyon; the other a pack road, known as the Gridley trail crossing the Topah Topah hills and making short cut from the Cunning ranch on the Crawling Stone to the Frenchman. The entire valley is. in fact, so difficult of access. save by the long and roundabout wagon road. that the sieht of complete outfit of build ings such as that put up by Sinclair always came as surprise to the trav- eler, who, reaching the crest of the hills, looked suddenly down 1000 feet on his wellordered sheds and barns and eorrals.
 Over the Gridley trail from the Crawling Stone Marion and Dicksie Cunning rode early in the morning the day after McCloud and his men left he Stone ranch with their work done The trail is a good three hours long. and they reached Sinclair's place at about ten o'clock. He was waiting for Marion-she had sent word she should come-and he came out of the front door into the sunshine with smile of welcome when he saw Dicksie with her. Dicksie. long an admirer of Sin clair's. as women usually were, had recast somewhat violently her opin- ions of him. She faced him now with criminal consciousness that she knew too much. The weight of the dreadful secret weighed on her, and her responsibility in the issue of the day ahead did not help to make her greeting an easy one. One thing only was fixed in her mind and reflected in the tension of her lips and her eyes: The resolve to keep at every cost the promise she had given For D,cksie had fallen under the spell of man even more compelling than Sin. clair, and felt strangely hounden to what she had said
 Sinclair. however, had spirit enough to smooth quite away every embarrass-

 Tt is dreadful to think Of
 Not exactly that, but il is some thing 1 can't afford to forget"

 We found nothing serious" Nc Cloud said, answering their questions as he approached with Lance Cunning The current is really swinging away but the bank is caying in where il was undermined last night" He stopped before Dicksie. T am tryins to get your cousin to go to the house and go to S-d 1 am going to stay all night, but there Is no necessity for his staying
 Damn it, McCloud. it's not right protested Lance, taking off his hat and wiping his forehead. You neeG the sleep more than l do l say he is the one to go to bed tonight" con tinued Lance, putting it up to Whis pering Smith. And I insist, by the Almighty, that you two take him back to the house with you now,"
 Whispering Smith raised his hand If this is merely family quarre. about who shall SO to bei let us com promise. You two stay up all nigh and let me go to bed"
 Lance, however, was obdurate.

 Eoaesty is the best policy. of course, observed Whispering Smith. I like to see a modest man-and you want to remind him of all this when ae sends in his bill, he suggested, speaking to Dicksie in the dark But, .e added, turning to McGloud, admit Ing that you are right, don't take the rouble to advertise your view of it ;found here It would be only decent strategy for us in the valley just now to take little of the credit due to the wind"

Chancellor J. M. Barker ad- journed chancery court middle of last week. During the ten days his court was continuously in ses- sion. except the night hours, he didn't exactly clear the docket Of the l54 cases it contained. but he tried the bulk of them and put up orders in all the unsettled old suits that will make it next to impossible for the lawyers to fail to be ready for trial at the next term. Judge Barker keeps the lawyers and liti- gants ''on the jump while he is holding court; he is just simply making one of the best chancellor's s in the state. We like the way he runs his court.

But no sooner had she seated herself on the porch than she remembered she had left her hat in the house. and rose to go in after it.
