BILE him. he could lie there and hear
everything that occurred within and
without Every creak, stamp, and
snore was faithfully reported; every
curse, blow, snarl re-echoed 70 his
ears. Inside was hell; outside was
Sheridan.
Wearied, and half dead, as Keith
was, sleep was simply impossible. He
heard heavy feet tramping up and
down the hall; once a drunken man
endeavored vainly to open his door;
not far away there was scuffie, and
the sound of a body falling down stairs.
In some distant apartment a fellow
was struggling to draw off his tight
boots, skipping about on one foot
amid much profanity. That the boot
conquered was evident when the man
crawled into the creaking bed, an
nouncing defiantly, IF the landlord
wants them boots off, let him come
an pull 'em off" Across the hall
was a rattle of chips, and the voices
of several men, occasionally raised IN
anger. Now and then they would
stamp on the floor as an order for
liquid refreshments from below. From
somewhere beyond, the long-drawn
melancholy howl of a distressed dog
greeted the rising moon.
Out from all this pandemonium
Keith began to unconsciously detect
the sound of voices talking In the
room to his left. In the lull OF OBJ
structing sound few words reached
him through the slight open space be-
tween wall and ceiling.
Hell, Bill, what's the use goin' out
again when we haven't the price?
"Oh, we might find Bart somewhere,
and he'd stake us. l guess | know

Not me-; this town is too near
Fort Hays; I'm liable to run into

A chair scraped across the floor as
Bill arose to his feet; evidently from
the noise he had been drinking, but
Keith heard him lift the latch of the
door.
"AIl right, Willoughby," he said.
thickly. 'Tll try my luck, an If | see

went, half sliding, down stairs, and
Keith distinguished the click of glass
and bottle in the next room. He was

A small lamp was on the washstand,
a half-emptied bottle and two glasses
beside it, while a pack of cards lay
scattered on the floor. Fully dressed,
except for coat, the sole occupant
lay on the bed, but started up at
Keith's unceremonious entrance,
reaching for his revolver, which had
slipped to the wrong side of his belt

startled and confused.

Keith drew toward him the only chair
In the room, and sat down. MISS
Hope-more widely known as Christie
Maclaire-had claimed this drunken
lad as her brother, but, according to
Hawley, he had vehemently denied
any such relationship. Yet there must
be some previous association between
the two, and what this was the plains
man proposed to discover. The prob
lem was how best to cause the fellow
to talk frankly-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

this was the explanation, and nothing
could be more natural, considering

JOHNS PROPHECY.
The great work accomplished by John
set the people talking. Was he not pos
sibly the Messiah for whom they were
looking? 1t was great chance for
temptation. One word from John might
have brought the whole kingdom at his
feet, and given him the most prominent
place in the nation-for time. But
John refused what a less scrupulous
man would have accepted-the homage
of the people. Instead he prophesied
that there was soon to appear the real
Messiah who was so far superior to
him that he was not worthy to per-
form the most mental service for Him.
He pointed them upward aud onward to
Jesus.
What a great life was Johns-blaz-

repairing the bridges. smoothing up the
bitches and ruts in the road, making
ready for the advance of the King, and
getting out of the way when the King
came that none of the glory which was
His might be taken by another! This
great life may be yoJrs. Necessary for
it are solitude with God, bu ming up
for God, plain dealing with men, and
true humility. How do you measure
