fully realized Hopes peril, and his
own helplessness to serve her In this
emergency was agony. AS they hur-
ried back to the town, he briefly re-
viewed these conclusions with Waite
and Fairbain, all alike agreeing there
was nothing remaining for them to do
except to take up the trail. The fugi-
tives had already gained too great an
advantage to be overhauled, but they
might be traced to whatever point
they were heading for. In spite OF the
start being so far to the west, Keith
was firmly convinced that their destn-
alton would prove to be Carson City.
Procuring horses at the corral, their
forces augmented by two volunteers
both men of experience-Keith, Waite,
Fairbain and Neb departed without
delay, not even pausing to eat but
taking the necessary food with them.
The sun had barely risen when they
took up the trail. Keith and a man
named Bristoe, slightly in advance,
their keen eyes marking every slight
sign left for guidance across the bare
plain. 1t was q comparatively easy
trail to follow, leading directly into
the southwest, the pony tracks cutting
into the sod as though the reckless
riders had punched together. their
horses trotting rapidly. Evidently nc
attempt had been made at conceal
ment, and this served to convince the
pursuers that Hawley still believed
his captive to be Miss Maclaire, ant
that her disappearance would not b.
suspected until after nightfall. II
that case the trail could not be dis
covered before the following morn

CHAPTER XXxlll.
Following the Trail.

The withdrawal OF the sheriff mere
ty stimulated Keith to greater activity.
1t was clearl, evident the fugitives
were cndeavrring with all rapidity
possible to get beyond where the hand
OF law could reach them-their trail
striking directly across the plains into
the barren southwest was proof of this
purpose. Yet it was scarcely likely
they world proceed very far In that
direction, as such a course would
bring them straight into the heart OF
the Indian country, into greater dan
Sc than that from which they fed.
Keith felt no doubt that Hawley in
tended making for Carson City, where
Ae could securely hide the girl, and
where he possessed friends to rally
TO his defence, even an influence over
the officers of the law. The one thing
which puzzled him most was the
mans object in attempting SO desper-
ate a venture. Did he know his pris-
oner was Hope Waite? or did he still
suppose he was running off with Chris
tie Maclaire? Could some rumor Of
Waite's appeal to the courts have
reached the gambler, frightened him.
and caused him to attempt this des-
perate effort at escape? and did he
bear Miss Maclaire with him, hoping
to keep her safely concealed until
ne was better prepared to come out in
open fight? II this was the actual
state of affairs hen 1t would account
for much otherwise hard to explain
The actress would probably not have
been missed, or, at least, seriously
sought after, until she failed to ap-
Dear at the theater the following even

Eitives a start of twenty hours, OF
even more, and practically assure
their safety. Besides, In the light Of
Waite's application to the sheriff fol
assistance, 1t was comparatively easy
to conceive of a valid reason VIII
Hawley should vanish, and desire
likewise, to take Miss Maclaire will
him. But there was no apparent oc
casion for his forcible abduction o
Hope. OF course, he might have don,

The Robber Saloon

A subscriber relates this story. A
certain Ogden man employed in the
railroad shops has family that has
been living in southern Utah.
Recently he rented a house and
wrote to his family to meet him in
Salt Lake last Saturday. They would
spend the day in seeing the city and
then come on to their new home in
Ogden.
But on Thursday he received his
monthly pay check and began to
spend it at the saloons. He found
plenty of help. The saloons maintain
large and efficient corps of helpers
of that kind.
By Saturday he had no money left
and did not go to Salt Lake to meet
his family. Saturday afternoon a tel
egram came for him from his wife.
He could not be found. A telegram
received Sunday met the same fate.
Monday the shop man spent in

in urging everybody to say nothing
