SYNOPSIS.
eI- cHAS ScRlBNERS SON;

Murray Sinclair and his gang of wreck
ers were called out to clear the railroad
tracks at Smoky Creek McCloud,
young road superintendent, caught Sin
clair and his men in the act Of lootng
the wrecked train. Sinclair pleaded in
nocence, declaring it only amounted to a
small sum-a treat for the men. McCloud
discharged the whole outfit and ordered
the .wreckage burned. McCloud became
acquainted with Dicksie Dunning, a girl
OF the west, who came to look at the
wreck. She gave him message for Sin
clair: Whispering Gordon Smith told
President Bucks of the railroad, of Nc
Clouds brave fight against gang Of
crazed miners and that was the reason
Tor the superintendent appointment to
MS high Office. McCloud arranged to
board at the boarding house Of Mrs. Sin
cIalr, the eX-foreman's deserted wire.
Dicksie Dunning was the daughter Of the
late Richard Dunning, who had died OF
broken heart shortly after his wifes
demise, which occurred after one year OF
married life. Sinclair visited Marion Sin
clair's shop and fight between him and
McCloud was narrowly averted. Smoky
Creek bridge was mysteriously burned.
AcCloud prepared to face the situation.
President Bucks notified Smith that he
had work ahead McCloud worked for
IN fairly good order. He overheard DICK
sic criticising his methods, to Marion
Sinclair. A stock train was wrecked by
an open switch. Later a passenger train
was held up and the express car robbed.
Two men Of posse pursuing the bandits
were killed. McCloud was notified that
Whispering Smith was to hunt the des-
peradoes. Bill Dancing, a road lneman,
proposed that Sinclair and his gang be
hQnnitQ A stranger n
parently with authority, told him to go
ahead. Dancing was told the stranger
was Whispering Smith," Smith r APP
preached Sinclair He tried to buy him
on, but failed. He warned McCloud that
his life was in danger. McCloud was car
ried forcibly into Lance Cummings pres
ence. Dunning refused the railroad a
Iight-of-way, he had already signed for.
Dicksie lnterfered to prevent a shooting
ARRAY. Dicksie met McCloud on lonely
trail to warn him his life was in danger.
On his way home shot passed through
his hat. Whispering Smith reported that
Du Sang, one of Sinclair's gang, had been
assigned to kill McCloud. He and Smith
saw Du Sang. Whispering Smith taunt-
ed Du Sang and told him to get out Of
Medicine Bend or suffer. Du Sang seemed
to succumb to the bluff McCloud's big
construction job was taken from him be-
cause Of an injunction issued to Lance
Dunning by the United States court. A
sudden rise Of the Crawling Stone river
created CONSERVATION. Dicksie and Ma
rion appealed to McCloud for help. Whis-
pering Smith Joined the group. He and
Oicksle, spent the night In conversation,
Smith giving the girl an outline Of his
life. In the morning McCloud took his
men to fight the river. Lance Dunning
welcomed them cordially.

bridge-would be prettier, don't your"
For answer she touched Jim lightly
with her lines and his spring released
her hand very effectively. As she did
so the trail turned, and the campfire,
whipped in the high wind, blazed be-
fore them.
Whispering Smith and Lance Dun
ming were sitting together as the two
galloped up. Smith helped Dicksie to
alight. She was conscious of her color
and her eyes were now unduly bright.
Moreover, Whispering Smiths glance
rested so calmly on both McCloud's
face and her own that Dicksie felt as
if he saw quite through her and knew
everything that had happened since
they left the house.
Lance was talking to McCloud.
Don't abuse the wind" McCloud was
saying. ITS our best friend tonight,
Mr.. Dunning. 1t is blowing the wa
ter of-shore. Where is the trouble?"
For answer Dunning led McCloud of
toward the bend, and Dicksie was left
alone with Whispering Smith.
He made seat for her on the wind.
ward side Of the big fire. When she
had seated herself she looked up in
great contentment to ask II he was
not going to sit down beside her. The
brown coat, the high black hat, and
the big eyes Of Whispering Smith had
already become a part of her mental
store. She saw that he seemed pre-.
occupied, and sought to draw him out
Of his abstraction.
Il am so glad you and Mr.. McCloud
are getting acquainted with Cousin
Lance" she said. "And do you mind
my giving you a confidence, Mr..
Smith? Lance has been so unreason-
able about this matter of the rail-
roads coming up the valley and pow
wowing so much with lawyers and
ranchers that he has been forgetting
about everything at home. He is so
much older than / am that he ought to
be the sensible one Of the family, don't
you think so? It frightens me to have
him losing at cards and drinking.
am afraid he will get into some shoot
ing affair. / don't understand what
has come over him, and / worry about
1t, believe you could influence him
II you knew him"
What makes you think that?"
asked Whispering Smith, but his eyes
were on the fire.
Because these men he spends his
time with in town-the men who fight
and shoot so much-are afraid Of you.
Don't laugh at me. l know 1t is quite
true in spite Of their talk. l was
afraid Of you myself until"

Marion. She puzzles me. She will
never speak Of her husband-I don't
know why. And l don't know why Mr.
MeCloud is so hard on Mr.. Sinclair
Mr.. Sinclair seems so kind and good
natured."
Whispering Smith looked from the
fire into Dicksie's eyes. "What
should you say II ] gave you q con
fidence?"
She opened her heart to his search
ing gaze. Would you trust me Will
confdence?"
He answered without hesitation

Let me talk with them"

. "Just what l should like. Come on!"
said Dicksie, leading the way to the
chicken-yard. Il want you to see
my bantams, too. l have three of the
! dearest little things. One is setting.
They are over the way. Come see
them first. And, oh, you must see
my new game chickens. Truly, you
never saw anything as handsome as
Caesar-he's the rooster; and l have
six pullets. Caesar is perfectly SUI
perb."
When the two reached the chicken
house Dicksie examined the nest where
she was setting the bantam hen. This
miserable hen will not SET" she ex.
claimed in despair. See here, Mr..
Smith, she has left her nest again and
is scratching around on the ground
Isn't it a shame? I've tied a cord
around her leg so she couldn't run
away, and she is hobbling around like
q scrub pony"
Perhaps the eggs are too warm,
(, suggested her companion. 81 have had

ashamed to make fun of me?"
Whispering Smith seemed taker

Dicksie murmured.
He looked at Marion. That's shot

from one to the other.
