A Glimpse at Conspiracy.
Leaning against the inside of his
own door, startled by the rapid
sequence of events, Keith was able,
from different sounds reaching him, to
mentally picture most of what oc-
CURED in the next room. He heard
Bill sink down into the convenient
chair, andsdrink from the bottle, while
the gambler apparently advanced to-

down on it's unconscious occupant.

70 talk rranklS-could he be reached
more easily by reference to the girl
or the gambler? Keith studying the
sullen, obstinate face confronting
him, with instructive antagonism over
his intrusion, swiftly determined on
the girl.

Yes, but l do" throwing a con.
fidence into his tone he was far from

The boy sprang to his feet, his face
flushed.
"Oh. you mean Hope? Do you know
her? Say, thought you were giving

I got 1t out of him that she claimed to

Maclaire Why, l don't even know
her, and what do you suppose she
ever picked me out for her brother
for?"
He was plainly puzzled, and perfect.
ly convinced 1t was all a mistake.
That his sister might have left home
since he did, and drifted West under
an assumed name, apparently never
occurred to him as possible. To Keith
this was the explanation, and nothing
could be more natural, considering
her work, yet he did not feel like
SCATTERING the lads loyalty. Faith in
the sister might yet save him.
Perhaps the fellow who told you"
he hazarded blindly, speaking the first
thought which came to his mind, had

Hone Goes to Sheridan,

Hope Goes to sheridan.
The discovery of the locket which had
fallen from about Keith's neck made 1t
impossible for Hope to remain quietly
for long in the hotel at Fort Larned.
The more carefully she thought over
the story Of that murder at the Cim-
maron Crossing, and Keith's tale of
how he had discovered and buried the
mutilated bodies, the more assured
she became that that was where this
locket came from, and that the slain
freighter must have been her own IA
Their. She never once questioned the
truth of Keith's report; there was that
about the man which would not per-
NIT of her doubling him. He had
simply failed to mention what he re-
moved from the bodies, suppos1ng tnls
would be OF no special interest.
Mrs. Murphy. hoping thus to quiet
the apprehensions Of her charge, set
herself diligently at work to discover
the facts. AS her house was nlled
with transients. including occasional
visitors from Carson City, and was
also lounging headquarters for many
of the officers from the nearby fort,
she experienced no difficulty In pick
ing up all the floating rumors. Out OF
these, with Irish shrewdness, she soon
managed to patch together a consist
ent fabric Of fact.
"Shure, honey, IT'S not SO bad the
way they tell it now" she explained,
consolingly. Nobody behaves now It

Just little" carelessly; but what
sort of a trick could he be working
trying to make you, acknowledge
Christie Maclaire as your sister,"
Willoughby did not answer, shifting
uneasily about on the bed. Keith
waited, and at last the boy blurted
out:

One thing was clearly evident-the
boys faith in his sister. If he was
to be rightly influenced, and led back
to her, he must have no suspicion
aroused that her life was any differ
ent from what it had been before he
left home. Besides if Keith hoped to
gain any linking of what Hawley's
purpose could be, he must win the
confidence of Willoughby. This could
not be- done by telling him of Hopes
present life. These considerations
flashed through his mind, and as swift

marine which refuses To decay, may
not be smiss.
This is the merchant marine Of the

The tonnage for the same year was

The Suez canal, during the same
year OF, 1910. carried freight TO the
amount Of lG.5Sl,S tons.
In other words the Sault ste Marie
in nine months carried almost four
times as much freight as the Suez in
twelve months.
No figures are available for the val
