Keith Bent Over to Study tho Tracks.

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 fugi-
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 destin-
alton would prove to be Carson City.
Procuring horses at the corral, their
forces augmented by two volunteers
both men of experience-Keith. 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 man
named Bristoe, slightly in advance,
their keen eyes marking every slight
sign left for guidance across the bare
plain. 1t was a comparatively easy
trail to follow, leading directly into
the southwest, the pony tracks cutting
into the sod 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 nigbtfall. 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 rs possible. This was to be
stern chase and long one, and 1t
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 1t 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."

CHAPTER xxxIll.
Following the Trail.

The withdrawal of the sheriff mere
iy stimulated Keith to greater activity.
1t was clearly evident the fugitives
were endeavoring with all rapidly
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 1t 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 fed.
Keith felt 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 1t would account
for much otherwise hard to explain.
The actress would probably not have
been missed. or, at least, seriously
sought after, until she failed to ap-
pear at the theater the following even
ing, This delay would give the fu-
gitives start of twenty hours, or
even more, and practically assure
their safety. Besides, In the light OF
Waftes application to the sheriff for
assistance, 1t 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 we're certainly waiting there 'un-
der orders, Hawley's adherents in
charge. and every arrangement per
fected in advance Clearly enough
the gambler had planned 1t all out
before he ever went to the Troca-
dero--no doubt the completion of
these final arrangements was what de-
iayed his appearance at the hotel II
this was all true, then 1t 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 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

TALK ON SUNDAY SCHOOL LEAKS
Boys Allowed Slip Away Too Easily From The School Address By Rev. C. H. Ricetts-Norwch District Super intendents Elect Oficers-F. J. Working Reelected PreSident.

Following the reading and acceptance of various reports and the transaction of other routine business at tho meet ing of the Norwich District Sunday School SuperlntendentS' association, h%ld Wednesday evening at the Uni versalist church, officers for the ensu- ing year were elected as follows: Pres ident K. J. Working, reelected; vice president Stephen Peckham, re-elect- ed; secretary Herbert Gallup; treas urer, Shepard Palmer
 Rev. C. H. Rioketts Speaks.
 On the conclusion of the business session a talk on Sunday School Leaks was given by Rev. c. IF. Ricketts of She Greenevflle Congregational church.
 He said in part:
 It would be much more pleasing to me to talk of construction than de- fense but since there are admitted faults in the Sunday school we must work to protect and strengthen what we already have. The first great leak Is the easy manner ill which the grow ing boy Is allowed to slip out of the Sunday school the boy who is no longer boy, nor yet a mature man. At this period the Sunday school becomes tame to him who is just grasping new views and possibilities. This is just me tune m DlS He when we m us Lf get a grip on him and not let him go.
 Adapt Study to the Boy.
 The second leak lies in the failure of the Sunday school to adopt a system of stdy adaptive to the boys development. When boy Is transferred from one department to another there Is a jolt, and unless the teacher possesses un- usual magnetism we find that the boy is not interested.
 The third leak is in the failure of the teachers to put downright moral earnestness into the teaching: many of them are not, as they should be, dead in earnest Unless the teacher has the impression that he has a thorough un- derstanding of the lesson, he cannot give anyone else good instruction. The hour or half hour of the Sunday school session is the most important part of the week. This is the only time that tho majority of children receive any religious instruction.
 Teachers in Touch With Pupils.
 Another leak is the failure on the part of the teachers to keep in con
Norwich bulletin., 1912-04-25

staat and loving touch with the pupils The final leak which I will suggest to you is the failure on the part of the pastor to keep track of the young peo- pie of the Sunday school as material for church membership. The Sunday school Is the feeding ground ol the church. Nine tenths of the church membership comes from the Sunday school and the pastor should make 1t his duty to see that this precious ma terial does not drift away.
 Rev. F. o. Cunningham.
 Rev. r. o. Cunningham, pastor of the First Baptist church. was the next speaker and took as his subject The Superintendent Relations to the Teachers. He built up his talk about three words. The first was confidence. Without confidence he said, people cannot strive together successfully in any work This must be a mutual relation. The superintendent must be q man of capability and energy to re- ceive the confidence of his teachers. On the other hand, the teachers must be faithful and capable to hold the confidence of the superintendent.
 The second word Is cooperation. Most of our Sunday schools are demo- cratic institutions The superintend- ent is elected by the School, or Dy tne teachers. Many a valuable suggestion or idea from the superintendent is lost on account of lack of cooperation. The spirit of cooperation will make the difference of success or failure.
 The third word suggested by Rev. Mir. Cunningham was control, under which head he emphasized the neces- sity for placing control and power over the teachers in the hands of the super intendent.
 On the conclusion of the talk the various points brought out were dis cussed by the assembly.
