CHAPTER XXI.
Fairbain and Christie.

DR.. Fairbain had originally Joined
the searching party, fully as eager as
Keith himself to run down the rene
gade Hawley, but after an hour of re-
sultless effort, his entire thought shift
ed to the woman they had left alone
at the hotel He could not, as yet.
fully grasp the situation, but he re-
NAMED loyal to the one overpowerng
truth that he loved Christie Maclaire.
Fairbanks nature was rough, orig
inal. yet loyal to the core. He had
lived all his life long In army camps
and upon the frontier, and his code
of honor was extremely simple. 1t
never once occurred to him that Chris
ties profession was not OF the high
est. or that her life and associations
in any way untitled her for the future.
To his mind she was the one and only
woman. His last memory OF her, as
the little party of men filed out OF
that room, haunted him until he I'm
ally dropped out of the search and
drifted back toward the hotel.
1t was a late hour, yet 1t was hard
ly likely the woman had retired. Her
excitement, her interest in the pursuit,
would surely prevent that; moreover,
he was certain he saw light still
burning in her room, as he looked up
from the black street below. Never
theless he hesitated, uncertain OF MS
reception. Bluff, emphatic, never
afraid to face a man in his life, his
heart now beat fiercely as he endeav-
ored to muster the necessary cour-
age. Far down the dark street some
roysterer fired shot, and sudden fear
lest he might be sought after profes-
sionally sent the doctor hurriedly
within, and up the stairs. He stood,
Just outside her door, quahng like
child, the Precipitation beading his
forehead, but light streameo
through the transom, and he could
plainly hear movements within. AT
last, In a sudden spasm Of courage,
he knocked softly. Even in that noisy
spot she heard instantly, opening the
door without hesitation, and standing
fully dressed within. She was no
longer discouraged. sobbing girl.
but an aroused. intent woman. into
whose pathetic, lonely life there had
come new hope. She appeared
younger, fairer, with the light SHIN
mering in her hair and her eyes sm1l'
ing welcome.
"Oh, Doctor" and her hands were
thrust out towards him, Il am glad
you have come. Somehow, | thought
you would, and | have wanted SO to
talk to some one-to you"
ITO mel Do you really mean that.
Miss Christie?"
Yes, really mean that, you great
bear of a man." and the girl laughed
lightly, dragging him into the room
and closing the door. why, who else
could | expect to come tonight? You
were the only one really good to me.
You-you acted as If you believed in
me all the time"
