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 unruffled 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 man on better
horse, back to the Crawling Stone and
Medicine Bend. There's others he

trouble in talking business to-day.

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 telephone! 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 office and began ringing Medicine
Bend on the, telephone.

Green Gardens of Damascus Rest the
Eye After Long Journey Through
the Desert.

The chief attractions at Damascus
are the world-famed gardens which
surround the city, the glimpse we get
of oriental life as found in the bazars,
fine streets, the shops, and last, but
by no means of less interest, the IA
nous mosque of Omciades.
One hundred and fifty square miles
of green lie in compact order round
about Damascus, spread out with all
the profusion of a virgin forest. Or
chards and flower gardens, parks,
plantations of corn and of other prod
uce pass before the eye in rapid and
changeable succession. The natives
claim that there are more than 5000
miles of shady lanes in the gardens OF
Damascus through which 1t is posi-
BILE to ride. On such a ride the visitor
passes orchards of figs and orchards
of apricots. For hedges there is the
briar rose and for a canopy the wal
nut. Pomegranate blossoms glow
through the shade; the vine boughs
trail across the briars; little water

had come in riderless. While Barn
hardt, the railway surgeon, at the
bedside administered restoratives,
Marion talked with him of Dicksie's
sudden and mysterious coming. Dick
sic, lying in pain and quite conscious,
heard all, but, unable to explain,
moaned in her helplessness. She
heard Marion at length tell the doctor
that McCloud was out of town, and
the news seemed to bring back her
senses. Then, rising in the bed, while
the surgeon and Marion coaxed her
to lie down, she clutched at their arms
and, looking from one to the other,
told her story. When it was done
she swooned, but she woke to hear
voices at the door of the shop. She
heard as if she dreamed, but at the
door the words were dread reality.
Sinclair had made good his word, and
had come out of the storm with sum-
mons upon Marion and it was the sur
geon who threw open the door and
saw Sinclair standing in the snow.

a hand on her bridle-rein-and she
pulled Jim in down the winding hills
to save him for the long fiat. When
they struck it they had but four miles
to go.
Across the fat the wind drove in
fury. Reflection, thought and reason
were beginning to leave her. She was
crying to herself quietly as she used
to cry when she lost herself, mere
child, riding among the hills. She
was praying meaningless words. Snow
purred softly on her cheeks. The cold
was soothing her senses. Unable at
last to keep her seat on the horse,
she stopped him, slipped stiftly to the
ground, and, struggling through the
wind as she held fast to the bride and
the horn, half walked and half ran to
start the blood through her benumbed
veins. She struggled until she could
drag her mired feet no farther, and
tried to draw herself back into the
saddle. 1t was almost beyond her.
She sobbed and screamed at her help
lessness. At last she managed to
climb flounderingly back into her seat,
and, bending her stiffened arms to
Jim's neck, she moaned and cried to
him. When again she could hold her
seat no longer, she fell to the horses
side, dragged herself along in the
frozen slush, and, screaming with the
pain of her freezing hands, drew her.
self up into the saddle.
She knew that she dare not venture
this again-that If she did SO she
could never remount. She felt now
that she should never live to reach
Medicine Bend. She rode on and on
and on-would it never end? Then
came a sound like the beating of great
drums in her ears. 1t was the crash
of Jim's hoofs on the river bridge,
and she was in Medicine Bend.
A horse, galloping low and heavily,
slued through the snow from Fort
street into Boney, and, where it had
so often stopped before, dashed up on
the sidewalk in front of the little
shop. The shock was too much for its
unconscious rider, and, shot headlong
from her saddle, Dicksie was flung
bruised and senseless against Mari
on's door.

"And to kill George McCloud, if he

He stared without reply.

Dicksie, vehemently.
Lance crossed his legs and threw
back the brim of his hat. 'McCloud is
nobody's fool. He will look out for
himself"
"These fiendish wires to Medicine
Bend are down. Why hasn't this line
been repaired" she cried, wringing
her hands. There is no way to give
warning to any one that he is coming,
and you have let him go!"

you've gone crazy, Dicksie. Your
imagination has upset your reason.
Whether he kills anybody tonight or
not, it's too late now to make a row
about it." exclaimed Lance, throwing
his cigar angrily away. He won't
kill us"
And you expect me to sit by and

string of oaths well, this is the linn

CHAPTER XxXVl.
A Sympathetic Ear.

When Whispering Smith rode after
Sinclair, Crawling Stone ranch, in
common with the whole countryside,
had but one 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 pursueT. 1t
was commonly agreed through the
mountains that it would be a difficult
matter to overhaul any good man
riding Sinclairs 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
one mans Tecord-that of the man
who had ridden alone across Deep
creek and brought Chuck Williams out
on 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 defied the law we're ranged all
of the prejudices, sympathies, and
hatreds of the high country, and prac-

Dicksie Gave Jim the Rein.

"Dicksie Dunning, you won't stir out
of this house tonight"
Her face hardened. How dare you
speak in that way to me? Who are
you, that you order me what to do,
where to stay? Am | your cowboy, to
be defled with your curses?"
He looked at her in amazement. She
was only IS; he would still face her
down. I'll tell you who l am. l
am master here, and you will do as l
tell you. You will ride to Medicine
Bend tonight, will you?" He struck
the table with his clinched fist. DO
you hear me? l say, by God, not a
horse shall leave this ranch in this
storm tonight to go anywhere for
anybody or with anybody"
Then I say to you this ranch is my
ranch, and these horses are my
horses! From this hour forth will or
der them to go and come when and
where l please!" She stepped toward
him. "Henceforward / am mistress
here. Do you hear me? Henceforward

and every one under this roof takes
orders from me!"'
'Dicksie, what do you mean? For
Gods sake, you're not going to try
to ride"
She swept from the room. What
happened afterward she could never
recall. Who got Jim for her or wheth-
er she got the horse up herself. what
