CHAPTER XXX.
A Midnight Visit.

The lights, but one, were out. Nc
Cloud and Whispering Smith had gone,
and Marion was locking up the house
for the night, when she was halted by
knock at the shop door. 1t was a
summons that she thought she knew,
but the last in the world that she wanted
to hear or to answer. DickSie had
gone to the bedroom, and standing
between the portieres mat curtaineo
the workroom from the shop, Marion
in the half-light listened, hesitating
whether to ignore or to answer the
midnight intruder. But experience,
and bitter experience, had taught her
there was only one way to meet that
particular summons, and that was to
act, whether at noon or at midnight,
without fear. She waited until the
knocking had been twice repeated,
turned up the light, and going to the
door drew the bolt; Sinclair stood be-
fore her, and she drew back for him
to enter. "Dicksie Dunning is with
me tonight" said Marion, with her
hand on the latch, land we shall have
to talk here"
Sinclair took off his hat. II knew
you had company" he returned in the
low, gentle tone that Marion knew
very well, $50 I came late. And /
heard tonight, for the first time, that
this railroad crowd Is after me-God
knows why; but they have to earn
their salary somehow. want to keep

anybody If they don't force me to it.
They've scared nearly all my men
away from the ranch already; one
crippled-up cowboy is all / have got
to help me look after the cattle. But
l won't quarrel with them, Marion, II
can get away from here peaceably
so I've come to talk 1t over once more
with you. I'm going away and l want
you to go with me; I've got enough tc
keep us as well as the best of them
and as long as we live. You've giver
me good lesson. needed 1t
grille"
Don't call me that"
He laughed kindly. Why, that's
what it used to be: that's what
Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1910-01-27
"Here! Use 1t on Mel"

Goodnight, Marion. Will you shake
hands?
No"
Damn it, like your grit, girl!
Well, goodnight, anyway"
She closed the door. She had even
strength enough to bolt it before his
footsteps died away. she put out the
light and felt her way blindly back to
the workroom. She staggered through
it, clutching at the curtains, and fell
in the darkness into Dicksie's arms
Marion, dear, don't speak," Dicksie
whispered. II heard everything. Oh,
Marion!" she cried, suddenly con-
scious of the inertness of the burden
in her arms. "Oh, what shall l do?"
Moved by fright to her utmost
strength, Dicksie drew the uncon-
scious woman back to her room and
managed to lay her on the bed. Mari
on opened her eyes a few minutes
later to see the lights burning, to hear
the telephone bell ringing, and to find
Dicksie on the edge of the bed beside
her.
"Oh, Marion, thank heaven, you are
reviving! | have been frightened to
death. Don't mind the telephone; it
is Mr.. McCloud. l didn't know what
to do, SO telephoned him."
But you had better answer him, -
said Marion, family. The telephone
bell was ringing wildly.
''Oh no! he can wait. How are you,
dear? | don't wonder you were fright
ened to death. Marion, he means to
kill us-every one!"
NO Dicksie. He will kill me and
kill himself: that is where it will end.
Dicksie, do answer the telephone.
What are you thinking Of? Mr..
McCloud will be at the door in five
minutes. Do you want him in the
street tonight"
Dicksie fed to the telephone, and
an excited conference over the wire
| closed in seeming reinsurance at both
ends. By that time Marion had re-
gained her steadiness, but she could
| not talk Of what had passed. At times
as the two lay together in the dark
ness, Marion spoke, but 1t was not to
be answered. Z do not know" she

ground with Du Sang shooting at you.
She ordered up her horse, without a
word. and rode 20 miles in an hour
and half to find out here what we
had heard. She pushed in at the
Wickiup, where she never had been
before in her life, and wandered
through 1t alone looking for my office,
to find out from me whether l hadn't
something to contradict the bad news
While we talked, in came your dis
patch from Sleepy Cat Never was
one better timed! And when she knew
you were safe her eyes filled again."
Whispering Smith looked at Dicksie,
qlizzically. Her confusion was de-
lightful. He rose, lifted her hand in
his own, and, bending. kissed it.
They talked till late, and when
Dicksie walked on the porch McCloud
followed to smoke. Whispering Smith
still sat at the table talking to Marion
and the two heard the sound of the
low voices outside. At intervals Dick
door.
Whispering Smith, listening, said
nothing for some time, but once she
laughed peculiarly. He pricked up his
ears. What has been happening since
| left town."
What do you mean?" asked Marion
Sinclair.
He nodded toward the porch. INC
Cloud and Dicksie out there. They
have been fixing things up"
Nonsense! What do you mean?"
Il mean they are engaged"
Never in the world"
Il may be slow in reading trail"
said Smith, modestly, but when a
woman laughs like that l think there's
something doing. Don't you believe
it? Call them in and ask them. You
won't? Well, l will. Take them in
ask him.
In spite of Marion's protests the two
were brought in. Il am required by
Mr.. Smith to ask you very silly
question, Dicksie," said Marion taking
her into the living room. Answer yes
or no. Are you engaged to anybody"
What a question! Why, MOI"
Marion Sinclair wants to know just
one thing, George" said Whispering
Smith to McCloud, after he had taken
him into the dark shop. "She feels
she ought to know because she is in a
way Dicksie's chaperone, you know,
| and she feels that you are willing she
should know. | don't want to be too
| serious, but answer yes or no. Are
you engaged to Dicksie?"
