@Yeu ought 60 have made sure by

was the rasping comment of the great
man. 'You are just common bunglers
You and Kittredge-both OF you"
Gantry's gesture was of humorous
despair.
There's a limit, Mr.. Mcv1ckar. We
couldn't very well garrote him and
carry him off to a dungeon. We have
tried every way we could to muzzle
him. So far as I know, he hasn't been
doing anything incendiary since you
were here last week, but / had to put
one aeross on him about the equalizing
of the freight rates"
What did you doT' snapped the vice
president.
IL mailed him what purported to be
a carbon copy of the legal notice of a
reduction. He doesn't know yet that
he has the only c%opy-that the notice
hasn't been posted in our stations, as
the law directs. I'm hoping that he
won't find it out until after tomorrow,
when 1t won't make any especial diff
ference"
Mr.. Mcvickar frowned again.
Your expedients have all been pref
ty crude, Gantry. You seem to per-
sistently forget that you are dealing
with a mighty sharp, shrewd young
lawyer; that the chances are ten to
one that young Blount discovered your
pious fraud at once. Go back to the
city and think up some scheme that
will keep him busy today, too busy to
smell out the facts in the Gryson
matter"
Gantry got up and stood with his
back to the fire.
"I'm all In, Mr.. Mcyickar, and that's
the humiiiating fact. There isn't an
other idea left in me-" he confessed
despairingly. Cant you help US put a
little, Mr.. McVickar?"
Being thus put face to face with the
inventive test, the vice president did
not hesitate n moment.
"Of course" he grated, "if I have to
do your thinking for you. Go back
and get into communication with Cry
son Tell him the time has come to
play the same game ON young Blount
that he played four years ago ON
Hetheredge, the speaker OF the house

But now Gantry was shaking his
head obviously. "Ill do what you
say and do it quickly. But candidly,
Mr.. McVickar, I'm afraid of Gryson.

IT HIM TO 60 TO A REMOTE
PORTION or H STATE
anime the papers In q right of way
case which was coming up for trial
at the next term Of court.
This was In Kittredge's department,
and Blount called up the superin-
tendent on the phone. Kittredge WAS
In his office. and he evidently knew
about the vice presidents telegram;
also he seemed very anxious to have
the division counsel go to Lewiston at
once, SO anxious that he offered his
own service car to be run as a special
train.
Blount saw no way to eyade a posi-
tive order from his chief. but he was
more than suspicious that Gantry or
Kittredge or possibly both Of them
were conspiring to get him away from
the capital at the critical moment.
What did not occur to him at the time
was the fact that Mr.. Mcvickar's tel
egram might have originated In Kit
tredge's office.
Asking the superintendent to have
the service car made ready itnedi-
aaaly, he packed his hand bag. left a
note for Patricia and began the useless
Journey
In all his travelling up and down the
state he had never found anything
to equal the slowness of the special
train. Four mortal hours were lost
on the lonely siding. There was no
station. and Blount could not tele-
graph. So far as he knew, the serv-
ice car might stay there for a day or
d week. II WIS ali TO no purpose that

train crew had orders to wait for

to do but to keep on waiting.
Late In the afternoon train II or
some other train came along, and the

again ~sidetracked, eighty odd miles
from Its destination. and once more

The plaintiffs In the right OF way case

that the orders for the return Jour-

that point Biount took matters into
his own hands.

SYNOPSIS.

Jack Keith, vtrginian. now Dor
der plainsman, 10 riding along the Santa
Fe trail on the lookout for roaming war
parties OF savages. He notices a camp
fire at distance and then sees team
attached to wagon and at full galiop
pursued by men on ponies. When Keith
reaches the wagon the raiders have mass
acred two men and departed. He searches
the victims finding papers and locket
with q woman's portrait. He resolves to
hunt down the murderers. Keith Is ar
rested at Carson City, charged with the
murder, his accuser being a ruffian named
Black Bart. He goes to Jail fully realiz.-
ing the peril Of swift border justice. a
companion In his cell is a negro who
tells him he Is Neb and that he knew the ne
Keith family back in Virginia. Neb says
one of the murdered men was John
Sibley the other Gen. Willis Waite, for
merly an officer in the Confederate army.
The plainsman and Neb escape from the
cell, and later the two fugitives become
lost in the sand desert. They come upon
a cabin and findsit lone occupant to be
young girl whom Keith recognizes as a
singer he saw at Carson City.

worse condition than ever. If he only
knew who this man Hawley was, his
purpose. and plans! Yet what pro-
lection could he and Neb prove, alone
here. and without arms? All this
flashed through his mind In an instant.

Her eyes followed him as he stepped
through the door into the darkness;
then her head dropped into the sup
port OF her hands. There was silence
until Neb moved uneasily. At the
sound the girl looked up, seeing clear
~ the good-natured face Of the negro.
"Yo' don't nebber need cry, Missus,"
he said soberly. so long as Massa

CHAPTER x.
MIR. HawIey Reveals Himself.


A fragment of candle, stuck tightly
into the neck of an empty bottle, ap-
peared on low shelf, and Keith light
ed it, the girl returning the lamp TO
its former position on the front room
table. Investigation revealed dozen
cartridges fitting the revolver, but no
ammunition was discovered adapted
to the sawed-off gun. which Neb had
already appropriated, and was drag
ging about with him, peering into
each black corner in anxious search
The two were still busily employed at
this, when to their ears, through the
stiffness of the night, there came the
unexpected noise of splashing In the
water without and then the sound OF
a horse stumbling as he struck the
bank. Quick as fash Keith closed
the intervening door, extinguished the
dim flame of the candle, and grasplng
the startled negro's arm. hushed him
into silence.
Crouching close behind the door.
through a crack OF which the light
streamed, yielding slight view OF the
interior, the plainsman anxiously
awaited developments. These arrivals
must certainly be some of those con-
nected with the house; there could be
little doubt as to that. Nevertheless,
they might prove the posse following
them, who had CHANGED to stumble
accidentally on their retreat In eth
er case they could merely wait. and
learn. Some one swore without, and
was sharply rebuked by another voice,
which added an order gruffiy. Then
the outer latch clicked, and single
man stepped within, imm ediately clos
ing the door. Keith could not see the
girl through the small aperture, but he
heard her quick exclamation.
"Oh, is it you? | am so glad!"
The man laughed lightly.
TT is nice to be welcomed, although.
perhaps, after your time of loneliness
any arrival would prove relief. Did
you think | was never coming, Chris

piled, evidently with much less en-
thusiasm. and to Keith's thinking, a

He laughed.

The swift color flooded her face, but
her hands remained imprisoned.

The gray eyes and the brown, gaz-

New York editor, and, as Memorial
day approached, he would narrate at
the Authors club many memory Of
war times.
II liked to hear his yarns about
the child-like minds of slaves. He
once told me. for example, about a
grizzled slave named Uncle Cal, body
servant to his colonel
"As Eggleston sat before camp
fire one coolish autumn evening,
watching Uncle Gal mend the colo
neIs coat, the crimson and gold glory
of the autumn sunset turned the talk
to astronomy, and Eggleston said:
"'You see, Uncle Cal, the world is
round, like an apple. and it goes
all the time
Hits round an hit goes round,
said Uncle Cal, specifically But what
| want to know is, what holds it up?'
Why, you see, Uncle CAL said

think of anything else, only how for
tunate~I was to thus meet him. Surely
something serious must have happen
ed, or he would have been here before
this. Do you-do you suppose there
is anything wrong?"
Keith did not smile nor change
posture. The more he delved into the
matter, the more serious he felt the
situation to be. He knew all those
and was aware that this was no out
station. No cattle ever came across
that sandy desert unless driven by
rustlers, and no honest purpose could
account for this Isolated hut. There
had been frequent robberies along the
trail, and he had overheard tales of
mysterious disappearance in both
Larned and Carson City. Could it be
that he had now, accidentally, STUN
bled upon the rendezvous Of the gang !?
He was not man easily startled, but
this thought sent his heart beating.
He knew enough to realize what such
a gang would naturally consist Of
deserters, outlaws, rustlers; both In
dams and whites, no doubt, combined
under some desperate leadership. Gaz-
