fully grasp the situation. but he re-
mained loyal to the one overpowering
truth that he loved Christie Maclaire.
Fairbanks nature was rough. orig

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.

est, or that her life and associations
In any way unified her for the future.
To his mind she was the one and only
woman. His last memory OF her. as
tho little party Of men hled out OF
that room, haunted him until he nm
ally dropped out Of the search and
drifted back toward the hotel.
It was a late hour. yet It 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 tho black street below. Never
theless he hesitated. uncertain OF his
reception. Blun. emphatic. never
afraid to face a man In his life. his
heart now beat fercely as he endeav-
ored to muster the necessary ccur-
age. Far down the dark street some
roysterer fired a 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. Quaking like
child. the perspiration beading bis
forehead. but a light streamed
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 a discouraged, sobbing girl.
but ln aroused. intent woman. into
whose pathetic. lonely life there had
come new hope. She appeared
younger. fairer. with the light shim-
mering In her hair and her eyes smil-
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 me! 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 II you believed in
me all the time"

Sure; it's clear enough how that
came about. The boy told him about
the lost heiress his father was search.
| ing after, and showed him his sisters
picture. Black Bart instantly recog.
nized her resemblance to Christie
Maclaire. and thought he saw a good
chance for some easy money. He
needed the papers. however. to ascer-
tain exactly the terms OF the will.
and what would be necessary for the
Identification. He never intended to
go into court. but hoped to either get
Waite out OF the way. or else convince
him that Christie was the girl. relying
on her gratitude for his profits. When
Waite played into his hands by COM
ing to Carson City the chance was too
good to be lost. I'm not sure he meant
to kill him. but he did mean to have
those papers at any cost Probably
you know the rest-the girl was easy.
because she was SO ignorant OF her
parentage. and nothing prevented
Hawley from winning except that
Waite got mad and decided to fight.
| That knocked over the whole thing"
They we're outside now. and the
first glance up and down the noisy
street. brought Keith to himself. his
mind ready to grapple with The prob
lem of Hopes disappearance. 1t
seemed to him he had already looked
| everywhere. yet there was nothing to
do except to continue the search, only
more systematically. The sheriff. as
sumed control-clear headed. and ac-
customed to that sort of thing--call-
ing in Hickock and his deputies to
assist. and fairly combing the town
from one end to the other. Not rat
could have slipped unobserved
through the net he dragged down that
long street. or its intersecting alleys
but 1t was without result: nowhere
was there found trace of either the
gambler or his companion.
They dug into saloons. bagnios.
darce-halls, searching back rooms
and questioning inmates; they routed
out every occupant of the hotel. in
vaded boarding houses. and explored
shacks and tents. Indifferent to the
protests of those disturbed-but with.
out result. They found several who
knew Hawley. others who had seen the
| Two tOeetner passing ny tne lRnteu
windows of the Trocadero. but beyond
that-nothing. Convinced, at last, that
the parties sought were not alive in
Sheridan. and beginning to fear the
worst, the searchers separated, and
began spreading forth over the black
surrounding prairie. and by the light
OF lanterns seeking any semblance OF
trail There was no lack of volun
teers for this work, but 1t was DAY
light before the slightest clue pre-
sented itself. Keith, with the sheriff
aud two or three others. had CROPPED
their way outward until. with the first
flush of dawn. they found themselves
at the opening Of small rocky ra-
vine. near the foot of Boots HILL"
Peering down into its still shadowed
depths. they discerned what appeared
like body lying there motionless.
Keith sprang down beside 1t, and turn
ed the rigid form over until the dead
face was revealed in the wan light

read his papers. and picked up a point
or two. reckon the daughter, Miss
Hope. maybe never heard word
about 1t. but the boy-the one that
was shot-must have stumbled onto
the story and repeated 1t to Hawley.
That's what set that fellow going. 1t
seems Mrs. Waite's maiden name was
Pierpont, and when she was seven.
teen years old she was married to the
son OF a rich North Carolina planter.
The fellow was a drunken, dissolute,
good-for-nothing. They had daugh-
ter born-this Phyllis-and when the
child was three years old her father,
in a flt of drunken rage. ran away, and
to spite his wife took the little girl
with him. All efforts to trace them
failed. and the mother finally secured
a divorce and, two years later, mar
rted Willis Waite. Waite. of course.
knew these facts. but probably they
were never told the children. When
the father OF Mrs. Waite's first hus-
band died, he left all his large proper
ty to his grandchild. providing she
could be found and identified within a
certain time. falling which the proper
ty was to be distributed among GER
tain designated charities. Waite was
named sole administrator. Well, the
old man took as much interest In 1t as
though 1t was his own girl, but made
mighty little progress. He did dis
cover that the father had taken the
child to st. Louis and left here there
with a woman named Raymond, but
after the woman died the girl com
pletsly disappeared"
Then Miss Maclaire is Hope
Waite's half-sister?"
That's the way 1t looks now"

stumble on to the right partyf"

Death q Eugene carpenssr.

A deep pail of gloom was spreac
over the Willows community las
week when q telegram was re
ceived by Mr.. ]. M. carpentel
from Italy. Texas. announcing the
sad news that his son. Eugene
Carpenter. had met with an acci.
dent while at work near that place
which resulted In his death.
The body was shipped to his
former home soon after the acci.
dent by q lifelong friend of his.
Mr.. Eddie Mccaa. Jr.. who was
working IS miles away at the
time.

mains on their long journey TO

Saturday morning, thence to the
former home of the unfortunate
young man. The burial took place
near Willows the same day.
Eugene Carpenter was 76 years
old. He was the second son and
fifth child of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. NJ.
Carpenter, and his Is the only
death In the family OF eight child
rem. He was universally loved by
all who knew him, aud as far as
any one knows had no enemies.
He had gone out west to cast his
lot and fortune in the railroad bus,
mess and was greatly admired by
his employers for his sterling char
acter and efficiency. and his un-
timely death is to be greatly de-
plored.
