She knew that she dare not venture

CHAPTER XxXV.-Continued.

While the Johnsons were laughing,
Smith walked into the Blackbird. He
had lost 80 minutes, and in losing
them had lost his quarry. Sinclair
had disappeared, and Whispering
Smith made a virtue of necessity by
taking the upsetting of his plans with
an unruffied face. There was but one
thing more, indeed, to do, and that
was to eat his supper and ride away.
The street encounter had made so
much talk in Oroville that Smith de-
clined Gene Johnson's invitation to go
back to the house. 1t seemed a con-
Venient time to let any other ambi-
tious rustlers make good if they were
disposed to try, and Whispering Smith
went for his supper to the hotel where
the Williams Cache men made their
headquarters.
When he rode away in the dusk his
face was careworn. John Rebstock
had told him why Sinclair lodged;
there were others whom Sinclair
wanted to meet first; and Whispering
Smith was again heading on a long,
hard ride, and after a man on a better
horse, back to the Crawling Stone and
Medicine Bend. "There's others he
wants to see first or you'd have no
trouble in talking business to-day.
You nor no other man will ever get
him alive" But Whispering Smith
knew that.
See that he doesn't get you alive,
Rebstock," was his parting retort. eff

Tower w money, the first thing he
does will be to put the Doxology all

CHAPTER xxxvI.
A Ear.

When Whispering Smith rode after
Sinclair, Crawling Stone ranch, in
common with the whole countryside,
had but n interest in life, and that
was to hear of the meeting. Riders
across the mountain valleys met with
but one question; ~mail-carriers
brought nothing in their pouches of
interest equal to the last word con
corning Sinclair or his pursuer. 1t
was commonly agreed through the
mountains that it would be a difficult
matter to overhaul any good man
riding Sinclair's steel-dust horses, but
with Sinclair himself in the saddle,
unless it pleased him to pull up, the
chase was sure to be a stern one.
Against this to feed speculation stood
n mans record-that of the man
who had ridden alone across Deep
creek and brought Chuck Williams out
on a blackboard.
Business in Medicine Bend, mean
time, was practically suspended. AS
the center of all telephone lines the
big railroad town was likewise the
center of all rumors. Officers and sol
diers to and from the fort, stage driv-
ers and cowmen, homesteaders and
rustlers, discussed the apprehension
of Sinclair. Moreover, behind this eff
fort to arrest one man who had saw
agely defed the law were ranged all
of the ~prejudices, sympathies, and
hatreds of the high country, and prac-
tically the whole population tributary
to Medicine Bend and the Crawling
Stone valley were friends either to
Sinclair or to his pursuer. Behind Sin
clair were nearly all the cattlemen,
not alone because he was on good
terms with the rustlers and protected
his friends. but because he warred
openly on the sheepmen. The big

He called twice to her before she
turned, and her words almost stunned
him: "Why did you not detain Sin

New Geyser in Yellowstone Park.
For a few days past there have been
indications of an eruption of some
kind near the Fountain hotel in yell
lowstone park, says a dispatch from
Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyo. Now a
new and magnificent geyser has
broken out in full force about 100
feet north Of the regular Fountain
geyser near Fountain hotel. This
new geyser, which does not appear
to affect any of the others in that
vicinity, played to a height of $50
to 200 feet, throwing off immense
quantities of hot water, mud and
steam. The new geyser does not play
regularly as does Old Faithful, but at
short intervals, the eruptions occur
