CHAPTER XIV.

The Landlady of the Occidental.
Keith had crossed at this point so
frequently with cattle that. once hav-
ing his bearings, the bIackness 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 a 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 on unhesitatingly. until
they began to climb the rather sharp
upIift of the north bank. Here there
was a plain trail. pounded into smooth
ness bv the hoofs of cavalry horses
ridden down to water, and at the sum-
NIT they emerged within fifty yards of
the stables,

marking where a 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 dehcien'
cies mercifuuy 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 editice in the
place. This was the Occidental the
hospitality of which he had frequently
tested.

CHAPTER xIII.-(continued.)

1t was noon. the sun pitiless and not
above them, before they struggled
within the partial shelter OF the sand
meager lunch. Their supply of water
was limited, and the exhausted ponies
must wait until they reached the river
to quench their thirst. Yet this was
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 hours 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 adj
venture themselves within the imme
date neighborhood of Carson City.
What her future plans might be were
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
Mrs. Murphy, of the Occidental Hotel,
would furnish room. and. If necessary.
companionship. The sole problem re-
maining-after she had rather listless-
ly agreed to such an arrangement
was to so plan the details as to permit
the negro and himself to slip through
the small town clustered about the
post without attracting undue atten-
ton. No doubt, the story of their es-
cape had already reached there, en-
bellished by telling. and serious trou-
BILE might result from discovery Keith
was surprised at the slight interest
she exhibited in these arrangements,
merely signifying her acquiescence by
a word. but he charged it to physical
WEAKNESS. and the reaction from her
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
cleaning lights told of Fort Larned
perched upon the opposite bluffs.

up again. something that glittered on
the floor beside the bed caught her
eyes. She stopped and picked 1t up
holding the trinket to the light, star

RED HAIR WAS NEW TO THEM
indians for a Long Time Insisted
That White Mans Scalp Must
Have Been Painted.

Forty years ago the Indians in
Colorado knew but little Of the white
man, and nothing hardly of his ways
or habits except from tradition,
Among the people who went to set
tie in Colorado at that time was
man with very red hair. He and his
party were thrown among the In
dams, who thought at first that his
hair was painted, JUS as they paint
ed their own bodies and faces.
An old chief came up to him one
day and looked at his hair very care
fully.
UGH" said he.
And then, turning to the interpreter
who had the part in charge, he
wanted him to ask the man where ne
got the kind of paint that would color
and yet not be greasy or look daboy.
He was told that the mans hair was
not PAINTED. but he would not believe
it. He once more walked up to the
man and scrutinized his locks, run
ming his hand through them and look
ing at his fingers.
The red-haired man became little
nervous, and half fancied that the
chief was calculating how nice red
scalp would look hung to his belt.
The interpreter. however, laughingly
told the man what the chief had said
Two or three more of the Indians
then gathered around the party, and
they and the interpreter had a pow
wow Finally the interpreter asked
the man If he would object to putting
water on his hair.
He saw the Indians would not be-
Iieve but that it was painted, until
they saw that the water would not
wash the color out. The man took
some water. rubbed 1T on his hair,
and then showed his hands to them.
But it took four or five days of won
dering examination to convince them
that he had not found some peculiar
paint. and got himself up in a bright
red suit of hair
