headquarters; it is aWtson's cam

SYNOPSIS.

Jack Keith. a Virginian, now Dor
der plainsman, is looking for roaming war
parties of savages. He sees wagon team
at full gallop pursued by men on ponies
When Keith reaches the wagon the raid

charged with the murder, his accuser be-
ing a ruffian named Black Bart. A negro
companion in his cell named Neb tells him
that he knew the Keiths in Virginia. Neb
says one Of the murdered men was John
Sibley the other Gen. Willis Waite: FORM
erly Confederate officer The plainsman
and Neb escape, and later the fus1t1ves
to be a young girl, whom Keith thinks
he saw at Carson City. The girl explains
that she is in search Of brother, VINO
MI. Hawley, induced her to come to the
cabin while he sought her brother. Haw-
ley appears. and Keith in hiding recog-
rife battle in the darkened room in which
Keith is victor. Horses are appropriated
and the girl who says that her name. is

Fort Larned, where the girl is left with with
she is the daughter of General Waite.
Keith and Neb drift into Sheridan, where
Keith meets an old friend, Dr. falrpaln.
Keith meets the brother of Hope Waite
under the assumed name Of Fred Will
loughby. and becomes CONVINCED that
Black Bart has some plot 1nV9l aitn 1T me

and goes there, where she is mistaken for
Christie Maclaire. the Carson City singer.
Keith meets the real Christie MaclaIre
and finds that Black Bart has convinced
her that there is a mystery in her life
which he is going to turn to her advan-
tage. The plainsman tells Hope Waite of
her resemblance to Christie Maciaire.
They decide that Fred Willoughby may
hold the key to the situation. Keith finds
WillOughby shot dead. Hope is told OF
the death of her brother. Keith fails to
learn what representations Black Bart
has made to Christie Maclaire. Hope
suggests that in order to learn the secret
she must briefly impersonate the stage
singer: Or Fairbain is in love with
Christie Maclaire and Keith induces him
to detain her from the stage while Hope
goes to the theater where she meets
Black Bart, who, thus deceived tells
Hope, that General Waite has suspected
his plans and that they must fly. Hope,
greatly alarmed, demurs. General Waite
appears and says Black Bart has stolen
papers from him regarding inheri-
tance. Keith is informed that Christie
Maclaire's real name is Phyllis Gale and
that she is the half sister of Hope. The
latter has been carried away by Black
Bart and his gang. Dr. Fairbain avows
his love for Phyllis and she accepts him.

the ultimate destination Of the fugi-
tives, Keith yet dare not venture on
pressing forward during the night, thus
possibly losing the trail and being
compelled to retrace their steps. 1t
was better to proceed slow and sure.
Besides, judging from the condition OF
their own horses, the pursued would
be compelled to halt somewhere to
rest their stock also Their trail even
revealed the fact that they were trav-
cling far less rapidly than at first, al
though evidently making every effort
to cover the greatest possible dis
lance before stopping. Just as the
dusk shut in close about them they
rode down into the valley of Shaw
nee Fork, and discovered signs OF
recent camp at the edge of the stream.
Here, apparently, judging from the
campfire ashes, and the trampled
grass along the Fork, the party must
have halted for several hours. By
lighting matches Keith and Bristoe
discerned where some among them
had laid down to sleep, and, through
various signs, decided they must have
again departed some five or six hours
previous, one of their horses limping
as il lame. The tired pursuers went
into camp at the same spot, but with
out venturing to light any fire, merely
snatching a cold bite, and dropping
off to sleep with heads pillowed upon
their saddles.
They were upon the trail again with
the first dimness of the gray dawn,
wading the waters of the Fork, and
striking forth across the dull level OF
brown prairie and white alkali to-
ward the Arkansas. They saw nothing
all day moving in that wide vista
about them, but rode steadily, scarce
ly exchanging word, determined,
grim, never swerying yard from the
faint trail The pursued were moving
slower, hampered, no doubt, by their
lame horse, but were still we'll in adj
vance, Moreover, the strain of the
saddle was already beginning to tell
severely on Waite, weakened somewhat
by years, and the pursuers were com
PEELED to halt cftener on his account.
The end of the second day found them
approaching the broken land border
ing the Arkansas valley, and just be-
fore nightfall they picked up lame
horse, evidently discarded by ths
party ahead.

plans for a fortune overturned. keith
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 fug1-
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 dest1n-
alton would prove to be Carson City.
Procuring horses at the corral, their
forces augmented by two volunteers
both men of SUPPLEMENTARY, 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 comparatively easy
trail to follow, leading directly into
the southwest, the pony tracks cutting
into the SGD as though the reckless
riders had punched together, their
horses trOtting rapidly. Evidently no
attempt had been made at conceal
ment, and this served to convince the
pursuers that Hawley still believed
his captive to be Miss Maclaire, and
that her disappearance would not be
suspected until after nightfall. In
that case the trail could not be dis
covered before the following morn
ing, and with such start, pursuit
would be useless. Tireless, steadily,
scarcely speaking except upon the
business in hand, the pursuers pressed
forward at an easy trot, Keith, in spite
of intense anxiety, with the remem-
brance of old cavalry days to guide
him, insisting upon sparing the horses
as much as possible. This was to be
a stern chase and a long one, and II
was impossible to tell when they could
procure remounts. The constant sWerv-
ing of the trail westward seemed to
shatter his earlier theory, and,
brought him greater uneasiness. Fin
ally he spoke of it to the old plains
man beside him.
What do you suppose those fellows
are heading so far west for, Ben?
They are taking big risk Of running
into hostiles."
"Oh. don't know" returned the
other gravely. lifting his eyes to the

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

"While attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882. I became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most Of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be a solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, SO much so
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, I doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which did, TAX

notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until I was
well again, and have not had re-
currence of the trouble since, which Is

them as remedies for skin diseases"

The KINGS "Easy Money"

The curious powers and duties OF
the coroner, under traditional law, are
illustrated by recent incident at
Southgate, England, says the New
York Sun. Some workmen digging in
the Amberley road found large num-
Der of ancient coins. Immediately the
coroner was called and he impaneled
a jury. An expert numismatist test1-
fed that the coins were Long Cross"
pennies of the reign of Henry Ill,
1907 to 1872 The jury then found a
verdict that the coins were ancient.
that they had been concealed and that
their depositor was unknown. Then
seize the coins as the kings treas
ure trove," said the coroner-and he
did.

CHAPTER XxXIII.
Following the Trail.

The withdrawal Of the sheriff mere
ly stimulated Keith to greater activity.
1t was clearly evident the fugitives
were endeavoring 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 would proceed very far in that
direction, as such course would
bring them straight into the heart Of
the Indian country, into greater dan
ger than that from which they fled.
Keith felr no doubt that Hawley in
tended making for Carson City, where
he 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 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
he was better prepared to come out in
open fight? If this was the actual
state of affairs then it would account
for much otherwise hard to explain.
been missed, or, at least, seriously
sought after, until she failed to ap-
pear at the ttIeater the following even
ing. This delay would give the flu
gitives a start of twenty hours, or
even more, and practically assure
their safety. Besides, in the light Of
Waite's application to the sheriff for
assistance, it was comparatively easy
to conceive of valid reason why
Hawley should vanish, and desire,
likewise, to take Miss Maclaire with
him. But there was no apparent oc-
casion for his forcible abduction of
Hope OF course, he might have done
so from suddenly aroused fit of an
ger at some discovery the girl had
made. yet everything pointed rather
to deliberate plan Both horses and
men were certainly waiting there I'M
der orders, Hawley's adherents in
charge. and every arrangement per

the gambler had planned it all out
before he ever went to the Troca-
dero-no doubt the completion OF
these final arrangements was what de-
layed his appearance at the hotel Ii
this was all true, then it must have
been Christie, and not Hope, he pur-
posed bearing away with him, and the
latter was merely victim of her mas
querade.
What would result when the man
discovered his mistake? Such a dis
covery could not be delayed long, al
though the girl was quick-witted, and
would surely realize that her personal
safety depended upon keeping up the
deception TO the last possible moment
Yet the discovery must finally occur,
and there was no guessing what form
