SYNOPSIS.

Jack Keith. a Virginian. now bor-
der plainsman, is 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 a team
attached to a wagon and at full gallop
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 wOman's portrait. He resolves TO
hunt down the murderers. Keith Is ar
rested at Carson City, charged with the
murder, his accuser being ruftian named
Black Bart. He goes to jail fully reahz-
Ing the peril of swift border Justice. A
tells him he is Neb and that he knew the
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 fugtives become
lost in the sand desert. They come upon
cabin and find its lone occupant to be
young girl. whom Keith recognizes as
singer he saw at Carson City The girl
explains that she came there in search or
a brother who had deserted from the
army. Mr. Hawley induced her to
come to the cabin while he sought to To-
cate her brother Hawley appears, al.d
Keith In hiding recognizes him as Black
Bart. Hawley tries to make love to the
girl. There IS a terrific battle in the
darkened room in which Keith overcomes
the girl who says that her name Is Hope,
Joins in the escape. Keith explains his
situation and the fugitives make for Fort

CHAPTER xIIl.-(Continued.)

1t was noon, the sun pitiless and hot
above them, before they struggled
within the partial shelter of the sand
dunes, and sank YEARLY down to their
meager lunch. Their supply of water
wes limited. and the exhausted ponies
to quench their thirst. Yet this was
very far off now, and Keith had seen
enough of their surroundings to locate
the position of the ford. Slow as they
must proceed, three hours more would
surely bring them to the bank of the
stream. They discussed their plans
briefly as the three sat together on
the warm sand, revived both by the
food and the brief rest. There was
not a great deal to be determined,
only where the girl should be left, and
how the two men had better proceed
to escape observation
Fort Larned was the nearest and
safest place for their charge, none of
the party expressing any desire to ad-
venture themselves within the imme
diate neighborhood of Carson City.
What her future plans might be were
not revealed, and Keith forebore any
direct questioning His duty plainly
ended with placing her in safe en-
vironment, and he felt convinced that
Mrs. Murphy of the Occidental Hotel,
would furnish room, and, if necessary,
companionship. The sole problem re-
maining-after she had rather listless-
ly agreed to such an arrangement
was to so plan the details as to permit
the negro and himself to slip through
the small town clustered about the
post without attracting undue atten-
ton. No doubt, the story of their es-
cape had already reached there, en-
BILE might result from discovery. Keith
was surprised at the slight interest
she exhibited in these arrangements,
merely signifying her acquiescence by
word, but he charged it to physical
WEAKNESS, and the reaction from her
night of peril; yet he took pains to
explain fully his plan, and to gain
her consent.
This finally settled, they mounted
again and rode on through the lanes
traversing the sand dunes, keeping
headed as straight as possible toward
the river. The ford sought was some
miles down stream, but with the
horses thirst mitigated. they made
excellent progress, and arrived at the
spot early in the evening Not In all
the day had they encountered a liv.
ing object. or seen a moving thing
amid the surrounding desolation. Now
looking across to the north, a few
cleaning lights told of Fort Larned
perched upon the opposite bluffs.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Landlady of the Occidental.

The Landlady of the Occidental.
Keith had crossed at this point so
frequently with cattle that, once hav-
ing his bearings, the blackness of the
night made very little difference
Nevertheless, in fear lest her pony
might stumble over some irregularity,
he gave his own rein to Neb, and went
forward on foot, grasping firmly the
tired animals bit. 1t was a long
stretch of sand and water extending
from bank to bank, but the water was
shallow, the only danger being that
of straying off from the more solid
bottom into quicksand. With a tower
ing cottonwood as guide, oddly mis-
shapen and standing out gauntly
against the slightly lighter sky, the
plainsman led on unhesitatingly, until
they began to climb the rather sharp
uplift of the north bank. Here there
was a plain trail, pounded into smooth
ness by the hoofs of cavalry horses
ridden down to water, and at the sum-
NIT they emerged within fifty yards of
the stables.
The few lights visible, some station

the contour of various buildings, bat

daylight, composed mostly OF shacks
and tents, but now with its deficien-

street, but Keith circled the outskirts
through a wilderness OF tin-cans and
heaps of other debris. until he halted
his charges beside the black shadow

hospitality OF which he had frequently
tested.
A light streamed from out the front
windows. but, uncertain who might
be harbored within. Keith tapped
gently at the back door. 1t was not
