Mr.. Hawley induced her to come to the
cabin while he sought her brother. HaW-
ley appears. and Keith in hiding recog-
nizes him as Black Bart. There is ter
rife battle in the darkened room in which
Keith Is victor. Horses are appropria ted.

Hickcck and Fairbain assisted in this
effort TO learn the whereabouts of the
dead boys father, but without the
slightest result. nor did Keith's inves-
legations reveal the gambler at any of
his accustomed resorts. while Scott
had apparently made a complete get
away. These disappearance merely
served to convince him as to the truth
of his first suspicious; Scott might
have departed for good. but Hawley
would certainly reappear just as soon
as assured his name had not been
mentioned in connection with the
tragedy. To Neh alone did the plains
man candidly confide his belief In the
guilt of these two. and when other
duties called him elsewhere. he left
the negro securing the town for any
possible temperance of either.
