CHAPTER XXI.
Fairbsin and Christie.

DR.. Fairbain had originally Joined
the searching party, fully as eager as
Keith himself to run down the rene
gade Hawley. but after an hour of re
sultless effort, his entire thought shift
ed to the woman they had left alone
at the hotel. He could not. as yet
fully grasp the situation. but he re
mained loyal TO the one overpowering
truth that he loved Christie Maclaire
Fairbain's nature was rough, orig
inal. yet loyal to the core. He had
lived all his life long In army camps,
and upon the frontier. and his code
of honor was extremely simple. II
never once occurred TO him that Chris.
ties profession was not of the high
est, or that her life and associations
in any way untitled her for the future.
To his mind she was the one and only
woman. His last memory of her. as
the little party OF men fled out of
that room, haunted him until he fin
ally dropped out of the search and
drifted back toward the hotel
1t was late hour. yet 1t was hard
ly likely the woman had retired. Her
excitement, her interest in the pursuit.
would surely prevent that: moreover.
he was certain he saw a light still
burning In her room. as Lie looked up
from the black street below. Never
theless he hesitated. uncertain OF his
reception. Bluff. emphatic. never
afraid to face n man in his life. his
heart now beat fiercely as he endeav-
ored to muster the necessary cour-
age. Far down the dark street some
roysterer fired a shot, and sudden fear
lest he might be sought after profes-
sionally sent the doctor hurriedly
within. and up the stairs. He stood.
Just outside her door. quaking like a
child. the perspiration beading his
forehead. but light streamed
through the transom. and he could
plainly hear movements within. Al
last, In n sudden spasm OF courage.
he knocked softly. Even in that noisy
spot she heard instantly. opening tho
door without hesitation. and standing
fully dressed within. She was no
longer discouraged. sobbing girl.
