CHAPTER XXI.
An interrupted Interview


| Miss Christie Maclaire, attired in a
soft lounging robe, her luxuriant hair
| wound simply about her head, forming
a decidedly attractive picture, gazed
with manifest dissatisfaction on the
bare walls of her room, and then out
through the open window into the
comparative quiet street below. The
bartender at the Palace" directly
opposite, business being slack, was
leaning negligently in the doorway.
His rowing eyes caught the fair face
framed in the window, and he waved
his hand encouragingly. Miss Chris
ties brown eyes stared across at him
in silent disgust, and then wandered
again about the room, her foot tapping
nervously on the rag carpet.
sIt's my very last trip to this town, .
she said decisively, her red lips
pressed tightly together.
Miss Mac1aire had indeed ample
reason to feel aggrieved over her re-
ception She had written to have the
best apartment in the house reserved
for her, and then, merely because she
had later been invited out to Fort
Hays, and was consequently a day be-
hind in arrival, had discovered that
another woman-a base imposter, act
ually masquerading under her name
had been duly installed in the coveted
apartment Driving in from the fort
that morning, accompanied by two OF
the more susceptible Junior officers,
conscious that she had performed
most artistic work the evening before
in the spacious mess-hall, and feeling
confident of comfortable quarters
awaiting her, 1t had been something OF
a shock to be Informed by the per-
turbed clerk that "15" was already
occupied by another. ga lady what
come in last night, and I naturally
supposed it was YOU"
In vain Miss Maclaire protested,
ably backed by the worshipful officers
who still CALAMITY attended her; the
management was obdurate. Then she
would go up herself, and throw the
hussy out Indeed, too angry for
bantering further words, Christie had
actually started for the stairs, intend
| ing to execute her threat, when the
perspiring Tommy succeeded in stop
ping her, by plainly hurting out the
exact truth.

shocked.

''It surprises me to find one in our

He disappeared UP the stairs, taking

cigar still smoking between his lips.

scuff1ing mingled with the loud creak-
i ing of a bed. Scarcely a minute later
the marshal appeared on the landing
above, one hand firmly gripped in the
neck band of an undershirt, thus Sc
curely holding the writhing, helpless
figure of man, who swore violently
every time he could catch his breath.

It was possibly five minutes later
when he came down, still smoking, his
face not even flushed.

reported to the clerk. Seems to be
of a somewhat nervous disposition.

hat. "And to you. Miss, pleasant

outside, pausing moment in the
shadows to glance keenly up and
down the long street before venturing
down the steps, This quiet man had

Tommy shuff1ed his feet, and looked
again at the marshal; he had re-

Montgomery would not take kindly to

eyes were insistent.

Hickock watched the man disappear

to a cigar out of the stand, tossing a
coin to the clerk and then deliberately
lighting up.

The marshal smiled, his glance turn
