The dead silence which ensued was
broken only by heavy breathing. Then
Scott swore, bringing his fist down
with a crash on the washstand.

Il don't see what you see to laugh
at. This Keith isn't an easy man to
play with, let me tell you. He may
have got on to our game.
"Oh, hell. Bart. don't lose your
nerve. He can't do anything, because
we've got the under holt. He's fugi-
tive; all we got to do is locate him.

Hawley seemed to be thinking
swiftly, while his companion took an
other drink.
We'll, pard, amt that so?"
mo. that trick won't work, Scott.
We could do it easily enough If we
we're down in Carson. where the boys
would help US out. The trouble up
here is that Wild Bill Hickock is
Marshal of Sheridan, and he and 1
never did hitch. Besides, Keith was
one of his deputies down at Dodge two
years ago-you remember when Dutch
Charles place was cleaned out? Well,
Hickock and Keith did that job all
alone and Wild Bill isn't going back
on that kind of a pal, is he? | tell
you we've got to fight this affair
alone, and on the quiet. Maybe the
fellow don't know much yet, but he's
sure on the trail, or else he wouldn t
have been in here talking to Willough-
by. We've got to get him, Scott, some
how. Lord, man, there's a clean mil
lion dollars waiting for us in this deal.
and I'm ready to fight for it. But I'm
damned sleepy, and I'm going to bed.
You locate Keith tomorrow, and then,
when you're sober, We'll figure out
how we can get to him best; I've got
to set Christie right. Goodnight,
Bill"
He went out into the hall and
down the creaking stairs. the man he
wanted SO badly listening to his de-
scending footsteps, half tempted to
follow. Scott did not move, perhaps
had already fallen drunkenly asleep
on his chair. and finally Keith crossed
his own room and lay down. The din
outside continued undated, but the
mans intense WEAKNESS overcame it
all, and he fell asleep, his last con
scious thought a memory of Hope.

CHAPTER Xxx.
Hope Goes to Sheridan.

Hope Goes to Sheridan.
The discovery of the locket which had
fallen from about Keith's neck made it
impossible for Hope to remain quietly
for long in the hotel at Fort Larned.
The more carefully she thought over
the story OF that murder at the CHM
maron Crossing, and Keith's tale of
how he had discovered and buried the
mutilated bodies, the more assured
she became that that was where this
locket came from, and that the slain
freighter must have been her own ia
Their. She never once questioned the
truth of Keith's report; there was that
about the man which would not per-
nit of her doubling him. He had
simply failed to mention what he re-
moved from the bodies, supposing this
would be of no special interest.
Mrs. Murphy, hoping thus to quiet
the apprehensions of her charge, set
herself diligently at work to discover
the facts. AS her house was filled
with transients. including occasional
visitors from Carson City, and was
also lounging headquarters for many
of the officers from the nearby fort,
she experienced no difficulty in pick
ing up all the floating rumors. Out of
these. with Irish shrewdness, she soon
managed to patch together a consist
ent fabric of fact.
''Shure. honey, It's not so bad the
way they tell it now" she explained,
consolingly. Nobody behaves now it

hour through a mass of buffalo, graz

a glimpse of a troop of wild horses

piles of tin cans. and all manner OF

decided he must be an engineer en-

as small merchants, saloon-keepers'

glance curiously at her as they
marched up and down the narrow
aisle. but her veil, and averted face,

A Disappointing Man.

When Prof. Charles Zueblin OF Har-
ward was last in Kansas City he I'M
mediately sought out l.. IL. Fiery, as
sistant manager of the Coates House,
who was his boyhood friend. They
had played on the same college base
ball team and were chums at school.
One afternoon Mr.. Fiery and Prof.
Zueblin went to Evanston to play goH.
The professor is almost an expert at
the game. He was constantly ad-
dressed as professor" Finally Mr..
Fiery's caddie whispered to him
rs he a professor of golf?"
"Oh, no, my boy" Mr.. Fiery an
swered. hes a professor in a uni
versity."
The caddie studied moment and
then said, with decided show of dis
appointment:
"Shucks! Is that ll?"-Kansas City

MADE CONVERT OF OLD SILAS
Member of School Board May Have
Had Deep Thought, but Anyway
He Was Satisfied.

The athletic young woman who
taught the district school was on trial
for soundly thrashing seven unruly
boys.
"You-you think you can control the
situation, do-do you?" inquired the
president of the school board, who
suffered.
IT cam replied the young woman
with considerable decision.
We'll, l don't know about this,
grinned Silas Weatherwax. IF my
boy needs lickin' can give it to him
myself. / don't believe in miscel-
laneous lickin's."
The teacher smiled.
Neither do l." she said. IF thrash
ings are to be administered, think ]
much better for one person to admin
lister them. And after / have cleaned
up the school ] may decide to go out
and clean up the township"
A moment later when vote of con-
fidence in the teacher was called for,
the aye of Silas Weatherwax was
the loudest of all.

The only equipment operating into
Sheridan was construction train,
with an old battered passenger coach
coupled to the rear. A squad OF
heavily armed infantry rode along, as
protection against possible Indian
raiders, but there was no crowd
aboard on this special trip, as all
construction work had been suspended
on the line indefinitely, and most OF
the travel, therefore, had changed to
the eastward The coach used had
a partition run through it. and, as
soon as the busy trainmen discovered
ladies on board, they unceremoniously
drove the more bibulous passengers,
protesting, into the forward compart-
ment This left Hope in comparative
peace, her remaining neighbors quiet,
taciturn men, whom she looked at
through the folds of her veil during
the long, slow, exasperating Journey

emily without slightest reason: then

track, across which the engineer

stop the wearied passengers grew
more impatient and sarcastic, a per-
feet stream of fluent profanity being
waited back whenever the door be-
tween the two sections CHANGED to be
left aiar.
Hope was not the only woman on
board, yet a glance at the others was
sufficient to decide their status. even
had their freedom of manner and loud
talking not made it equally obvious.
Fearful lest she might be mistaken
for one of the same class, she re-
NAMED in silence, her veil merely
lifted enough to enable her to peer
out through the grimy window at the
barren view slipping slowly past. This
consisted of the bare prairie, brown
and desolate, occasionally intersected
by some small watercourse, the low
hills rising and falling like waves to
the far horizon Few incidents broke
the dead monotony; occasionally a
herd of antelope appeared in the dis
