CHAPTER XXxIX.
Closing In.

In the morning the sun rose with mountain smile. The storm had swept the air till the ranges shone blue and the r,ain sparkled under a cloudless sky. Bob Scott and Wickwire, riding at daybreak, picked up a trail on the Fence river road. A consultation was held at the bridge. and within half an -four Whispering Smith, with un- shaken patience, was in the saddle and following it.
 With him were Kennedy and Bob Scott. Sinclair had ridden into the lines, and Whispering Smith, with his best two men, meant to put 1t up to him to ride out They meant now to get him, with trail or without, and were putting horsefiesh against horse flesh and craft against craft.
 At the forks of the Fence they picked up Wickwire, Kennedy taking him on the up road, while Scott with Whisper ing Smith crossed to the Crawling Stone. When Smith and Scott reached the Frenchman they parted to cover in turn each of the trails by which it is possible to get out of the river country toward the Park and Williams Cache.
 By four o'clock in the afternoon they had all covered the ground so well that the four were able to make their rendezvous on the big Fence divide, south of Crawling Stone val ley. They then found, to their disap- pointment. that. widely separated as
  lowing trails they believed to be good. They shot steer, tagged it. ate din ner and supper in one, and separated under Whispering Smiths counsel that both the trails be followed into the next morning-in the belief that one of them would run out or that the two would run together. At noon the next day Scott rode through the hills from the Fence, and Kennedy with Wickwire came through Two Feather pass from the Frenchman with the report that the game had left their valleys.
 Without rest they pushed on. At the foot of the Mission mountains they picked up the tracks of party of three horSemen. Twice within ten miles afterward the men they were following crossed the river. Each time their trail, with some little diff culty, was found again. At a little ranch in the Mission foothills, Ken nedy and Scott, leaving Wickwire with Whispering Smith, took fresh horses and pushed ahead as far as they could ride before dark, but they brought with one man riding alone to the left, while two had taken the hills to the right, heading for Mission pass and the Cache.

A man rode out at the fork to meet him and trotted with him over the bridge Rid ing leisurely across the creek, their broad hats bobbing unevenly in the sunshine, they spurred swiftly past the grove of quaking asps and in a moment were lost beyond the trees.
