Do not think that be-

too late to give your lit
tie girl a Negro Doll. If
this thought has occurred
to you, you are laboring

preciate dolls, because
they are companions for
them in their loneliness.
They are joys to her

thingSto remind her of

1t was noon, the sun pitiless and not

within the partial shelter of the sand
dunes. and sank wearily down to their
meager lunch. Their supply of water

! very far off now, and Keith had seen
enough Of their surroundings to locate
the position of the ford. Slow as they
| must proceed. three hoNrs more would
surely bring them to the bank of the
stream. They discussed their plans
briefly as the three sat together on
the warm sand. revived both by the
food and the brief rest. There was
not a great deal to be determined,
only where the girl should be left, and
how the two men had better proceed
to escape observation.
Fort Larned was the nearest and
safest place for their charge. none Of
the party expressing any desire to ad,
venture themselves within the imme-
diate neighborhood of Carson City

not revealed. and Keith forebore any
direct questioning. His duty plainly
ended with placing her in a safe en-
vironment. and he felt convinced that

was to so plan the details as to permit
the negro and himself to slip through

merely signifying her acquiescence by
a word. but he charged it to physical
night of peril: yet he took pains to
explain fully his plan. and to gain
her consent.
This finally settled. they mounted
again and rode on through the lanes
traversing the sand dunes. keeping
headed as straight as possible toward
the river. The ford sought was some
miles down stream but with the
horses thirst mitigated. they made
excellent progress. and arrived at the
spot early in the evening. Not in all
the day had they encountered a liv-
ing object. or seen a moving thing
amid the surrounding desolation. Now,
looking across to the north. a few

darkness, and returned with the girl.

mistress of the Occidental cared little

burst out, endeavoring to curb her
voice to secretive softness. "Shure.

The landiady Of the Occidental.


Keith had crossed at this point so
frequently with cattle that. once hav-
ing his bearings. the blackness of the
night made very little difference.
Nevertheless. in fear lest her pony
might stumble over some irregularity.
he gave his own rein to Neb. and went
forward on foot. grasping firmly the
tired animals bit. 1t was long
stretch Of sand and water extending
from bank to bank, but the water was
shallow, the only danger being that
OF straying off from the more solid
bottom into quicksand. With tower
ing cottonwood as guide. oddly mis-
shapen and standing out gauntly
against the slightly lighter sky. the
plainsman led 'unhesitatingly, until
they began to climb the rather sharp
uplift of the north bank. Here there
was plain trail. pounded into smooth
ness by the hoofs Of cavalry horses
ridden down to water, and at the sum-
nit they emerged within fifty yards OF
the stables.
The few lights visible. some station
airy, with others dancing about like
will-o' o'-the- wisps. revealed imperfectly
the contour of various buildings, but
Keith turned sharply to the right. anx-
ious to slip past without being chal-
lenged by a sentry. Beyond the brow
of the bluff other lights now became
visible. flickering here and there.
marking where struggling town had
sprung up under the protection of the
post-a town garish enough in the
daylight, composed mostly OF shacks
and tents, but now with its deficien-
cies mercifully concealed by the en-
veloping darkness. The trail. easily
followed, led directly along its single
street. but Keith circled the outskirts
through a wilderness of tin-cans and
heaps of other debris. until he halted
his charges beside the black shadow
of the only two-story edifice in the
place This was the Occidental. the
hospitality OF which he had frequently
tested.
