CHAPTER xxIv.--continued.

Whispering Smiths brows rose pro-
testingly, but he spoke with perfect
amiability as he raised his finger to
bring the good eye his way. You
ought to change your hat when you
change your mind. l saw you driving
a bunch of horses up that canyon a
few minutes ago. Now, Rockstro, do
you still drag your left leg?"
The rancher looked steadily at his
new inquisitor, but blinked like a
gopher at the sudden onslaught.
(Which of you fellows is Whispering
Smith," he demanded.
1.-The man with the dough is Whis-
pering Smith every time" was the
answer from Smith himself. you have
about seven years to serve, Rockstro,
haven't you? Seven, l think. Now
what have / ever done to you that
you should turn a trick like this on
me? / knew you were here, and you
knew l knew you were here, and i call
this a pretty country; little smooth
right around here, like the people, but
pretty. Have / ever bothered you?
Now tell me one thing-what did you
get for covering this trail? / stand
to give you two dollars for every one
you got last night for the job, If you'll
put us right on the game. Which way
did they go?"
What are you talking about?"
"Get off your horse minute" sug-
gested Smith, dismounting, land step
over here toward the creek" The
man, afraid to refuse and unwilling to
go, walked haltingly after Smith.
what is it, Rockstro?" asked his
tormentor. Don't you like this coun'
try? What do you want to go back to
the penitentiary for? Aren't you happy
here? Now tell me one thing-will you
give up the trail?"
81 don't know the trail
81 believe you; we shouldn't follow
1t anyway. Were you paid last night
or this morning."

Everything is cash in this country
well Rockstro, I'm sorry, but wei
have to take you back with u.s."
The rancher whipped out a revolver
Whispering Smith caught his wrist
The struggle lasted only an instant
Rockstro writhed. and the pistol fell
to the ground.
Nov, shall l break your arm?'
asked Smith, as the man cursed ant
resisted. "Or will you behave? We
are going right back and you'll have

Williams Cache.

Ed Banks had been recalled before
daybreak from the middle pass. Two
of the men wanted were now known
to have crossed the creek, which
meant they must work out Of the coun-
try through Williams Cache.

down with Banks at breakfast, land

fissure IL so narrow that man with
rifle could withstand a regiment. For

Cache; the most that may be said is
that the main valley is known, and It
Is known as the toughest mountain
fissure between the Spanish sinks and
the MaDtrap country Williams Cache
lies between walls 1000 feet high, and
within it is small labyrinth of can
yons. A generation ago, when Medi-
cine Bend for one winter was the
terminus of the overland railroad, vigil
lantes mercilessly cleaned out the
town, and the few outlaws that es-l
capped the shotgun and the moose at
Medicine Bend found refuge in far
away and unknown mountain gorge
once named by French trappers the
Cache. Years after these outcasts had
come to infest 1t came one desperate
more ferocious than all that had gone
before. He made frontier retreat of
the Cache, and left to it the legacy of
his evil name, Williams. Since his
day 1t has served, as it served before,
for the haunt of outlawed men. No
honest man lives In Williams Cache,
and few men Of any sort live there
long, since their lives are lives of vio-
lence; neither the law nor woman
crosses Deep creek. But from the day
of Williams to this day the Cache has
had its ruler. and when Whispering
Smith rode with little party through
the Door into the Cache the morning
after the murder in Mission valley he
sent an envoy to Rebstock. whose sue
cess as cattle thief had brought its
inevitable penalty. 1t had made
Rebstock man of consequence and
of property and man subject to the
anxieties and annoyances of such re-
sponsibllity

pushed aside the curtain, and entered
the bedroom.
The little boy was lying on his face,
with his arm around his fathers neck,
talking to him. Whispering Smith bent
moment over the bed, and, setting
the candle on the table, put his hand
on the boys shoulder He disengaged
the hand from the cold neck, and sit
ting down took it in his own. Talking
low to the little fellow. he got his
attention after much patient effort and
got him to speak. He made him,
though struggling with terror. to un-
derstand that he had come to be his
friend, and after the child had sobbed
his grief into a strange heart he ceased
to tremble, and told his name and his
story, and described the two horse
men and the horses they had left.
Smith listened quietly. Have you had
any supper, Dannie? No? You must
have something to eat Can't you eat
anything? But there is nice pan Of

During the absence of W. A.

Does Any One Know?

Editor National Tribune: While in
st. Louis, in April, 1862, on my way
home from Pea Ridge battle, wounded,
l met an old soldier just from the bat
tie of Shiloh, who told me his age then
was 65 years, and that he had IA sons
in the Union army. Does any comrade
know anything about them? / do not
remember his name or regiment.
Can any comrade tell whether it was
true, as We were told at the battle of
Walnut Hills, near Vicksburg, the last
of 1852, that a negro, then carpenter
for the rebels in Vicksburg. hearing
that some of our gunboats were going
up the YaZoo River, hailed them, and
told the commander that If they went
any farther they would be blown into
eternity. He was taken on board, and
removed nine large torpedoes that he
had anchored in the river at COM
mand of the rebels. We also heard at
that time that Gen. Sherman recon-
mended that the fellow be given his
freedom, and gave him recommended
ton to the people of the Uniteu States
for his great act in saving the war
ships
Does any comrade know Fred Meg
gars? His brother, who lives here
does not know his company or regi-
ment. or what State he was in when
he enlisted. They have not seen each
