He was never again seen alive in
Medicine Bend. They tracked him
next day over every foot of ground
he had covered. They found where
he had left his spent horse and where
afterward he had got the fresh one.
They learned how he had eluded all
the picketing planned for precisely
such contingency, got into the
Wickiup, got upstairs and burst open
the very door of McCloud's room. But
Dicksie had on her side that night
One greater than her invincible will
or her faithful horse. McCloud was
200 miles away.
Barnhardt lost no time in telephon-
ing the Wickiup that Sinclair was in
town, but within an hour, while the
two women were still under the sur
geon's protection, knock at the cot
tage door gave them a second fright.
Barnhardt answered the summons. He
opened the door and, as the man out
size paused to shake the snow off his
hat, the surgeon caught him by the
q s,,%1
Whispering Smith.
Picking the icicles from his hair,
Smith listened to all that Barnhardt
said, his eyes rowing meantime over
everything within the room and men
tally oversmany things outside it. He
congratulated Barnhardt, and when
Marion came into the room he apollo
gized for the snow he had brought in.
Dicksie heard his voice and cried out
from the bedroom. They could not
keep her away, and she ran out to
catch his hands and plead with him
not to go away. He tried to assure
her that the danger was over; that
guards were now outside everywhere,
and would be until morning. But Dick
sic chung to him and would take no
refusal.
Whispering Smith looked at her in
amazement and in admiration. "You
are captain tonight, Miss Dicksie, by
heaven. If you say the word I'll lie
here on rug till morning. But that
man will not be back tonight. You
are queen. II had a mountain
girl that would do as much as that
for me would"
What would you do?" asked Marion

CHAPTER xxx.
Closing In.


In the morning the sun rose with
mountain smile. The storm had swept
the air till the ranges shone blue and
the Plain sparkled under cloudless
sky. Bob Scott and Wickwire, riding
at daybreak, picked up trail on the
Fence river road. A consultation was
held at the bridge, and within half
an Eour 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 it up to
him to ride out. They meant now to
get him, with trail or without, and
were putting horseflesh 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 1t 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
we'll 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
they had been, both parties were fol-
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
Guilty, was found again. At 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
back news. The trail had split again..
with one man riding alone to the left,
while two had taken the hills to the
right, heading for Mission pass and
the Cache. With Gene Johnson and
