remember, and those strenuous years
of almost ceaseless' fighting. Of long
night marches, of swift, merciless
raiding, of lonely scouting within the
enemy's lines, of severe wounds,
hardship and suffering, had left their
marks On both body and soul. His
father had fallen on the field at Antie-
tam, and left him utterly alone in the
world, bat he had fought on grimly
to- the end, until the last flag Of the
Confederacy had been furled. BY that
time, upon the collar of his tattered
gray jacket appeared the furnished in
sigma Of a captain. The quick tears
dimmed his eyes even now as he re-
called anew that final parting follow
ing Appomattox, the battle-worn faces
of his men, and his own painful jour

got there, only heap of ashes and a
few weed-grown acres. No familiar
face greeted him; not even a slave
was left.
He had honestly endeaVored to re-
main there, to face the future and
work It out alone; he persuaded him
self TO feel that this was his para

attacking travellers ON the trails. raid
ing exposed settlements, and ocaa-
sionally venturing to try open battle
with the ANAL squads of armed men.
In this stress of sudden emergency
every available soldier on active duty
civilians had been pressed into serv-
ice, and hastily despatched to warn
exposed settlers, guide wagon trains,
or carry dispatches between outposts.
And thus our rider, Jack Keith. who
knew every foot of the plains lying
between the Republican and the Can
adam rivers, was one CT these thus
suddenly requisitioned, merely be-
cause he CHANGED to be discovered I'M
employed by the harasseT commander
Of a cantonment just without the en-
virons of Carson City. Twenty min
utes later he was riding. swiftly into
the northwest, bearing important
news to General Sheridan, commander
of the Department, who happened at
that moment to be at Fort Cairnes.
To Keith this had been merely anoth-
err page in O career of adventure; for
him to take his life in his hands had
long ago become an old story. He
had quietly performed the special
duty allotted him. watched a squad
ron of troopers trot forth down the
valley OF the Republican. received the
hasty thanks of the peppery little gen.
eral, and then. having nothing better
to do, traded his horse in ut the gov
eminent corral for fresh mount and
started back again for Carson City.
For the greater portion OF two nights
and q day he had been in the saddle,
but he was accustomed to this, for he
had driven more than one bunch Of
longhorns up the Texas trail; and az
he had slept three hours at Cairnes,
and as his nerves were like STEEL the
thought of danger gave him slight
concern. He was thoroughly tired,
and it rested him to get out Of the
saddle, while the freshness of the
morning air was tonic, the very
breath Of which made him forgetful
of fatigue.
After all, this was indeed the very
sort Of experience which appealed to
him, and always had-this life Of
peril in the open, under the stars and
the sky. He had constantly expert
enced it for so long now, eight years,
as to make it seem merely natural.
While he ploughed steadily forward
through the shifting sand of the cou-
lee, his thought drifted idly back over
those years, and sometimes he smiled,
and occasionally frowned. as various
incidents returned to memory. 1t had
been a rough life, yet one not unusual
to those of his generation. Born of
excellent family in tidewater Virginia,
his father a successful planter, his
mother had died while he was still In
early boyhood, and he had grown up
cut off from all womanly influence. He
had barely attained his majority. a
senior at William and Mary's College.

month after Virginia cast in her lot

in a cavalry regiment commanded by
his father. He had enjoyed that life
