by was SO cut up by hoofs and wheels
as to yield nc definite results. Hamlin,
obsessed with the belief that whatever
had occurred had been engineered by
Dupont, and recalling the fact that the
man was once a ranchman somewhere
to the southwark, jumped to the %
clusion that the fellow would natural
~ head in that direction, seeking ia
miliar country In which to hide.
The gray of dawn was in the sky as
the three troopers, soaked to the waist,
crept up the south bank and studied
the trail. Behind them the yellow Ian
terms still bobbed about between the
river and town, but there was already
sufficient light to make visible the
signs underfoOt. Horsemen had
climbed the bank, the hoof marks yet
damp where water had drained from
dripping fetlocks, and had instantly
broken into a lope. "A moments glance
proved this to Hamlin as he crept
back and forth. scrutinizing each hoof
mark intently.
Five In the party" he said sober
~. Three mustangs and two Ameri-
can horses, cavalry shod. About three
hours ahead of u.s." He Strengthened
up, his glance peering into the gray
mists. Il reckon it's likely our outfit,
but we'll catch them on foot.
They'll be behind the sand-dunes be-
fore this. Before we 60 hack. boys,
we'll see II they left the trail where
It turns west"
The three ran forward, paying little
heed until they reached the edge Of
the ravine. Here the beaten trail
swerved sharply to the right. Fifty
feet beyond, the marks Of horses
hoofs appeared OF the sloping bank,
Hamlin sprang down to where the
marks disappeared around the edge Of
q large bowlder. His hand on the
stone. he stopped suddenly with quick
indrawing Of breath, staring down at
q motionless figure lying almost at
his feet. The man, roughly dressed,
lay on his face, q bullet wound show
ing above one ear, the back Of his
neck caked with blood. The Sergeant,
mastering his first sense Of horror,
turned him over and gazed upon the
CHASTITY face Of Major Mcdonald.
my God, they've murdered him
here!" he exclaimed. "Shot him down
from behind. Look, men. No; stand
back, and don't muss up the tracks.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Dead Body,

That both Mcdonald and his daugh-
ter were involved In this strange puz-
sle was already clear. The disappear
ance OF the one was a. mysterious az
that Of the other. Whether the orig
inal conspiracy had centered about the
Major. and Miss Molly had merely
been drawn into the net through acct
dent, or whether both were destined
- victims from the first could not be
determined By theory. Indeed the
Sergeant could evolve no theory. could
discover NJ purpose In the outrage.
Convinced that Dupont and his wife
were the moving spirits. he yet pos
sessed Al satisfactory reason for
charging them with the crime, for
which there ri no apparent object.
Nothing remained to be done but
search the town. . blind search In the
hope Of ~uncovering some trail. That
crime had been committed-either
murder or abduction-was evident:
the two had not dropped thus sudden
" out Of sight without cause. Nor did
It seem possible they could have been
whisked away without leaving some
trace behind. The town was accus-
toned. to murder and sudden death:
the echo Of revolver shots would create
no panic. awaken nc alarm, and yet
tho place vas small, and there wal
little likelihood that any deed or VIC.
lence would pass long unnoticed. With
. few words Of instruction, and hasty
descriptions Of both Dupont and Con-
nors. Hamlin sent his men down the
struggling street to drag out the &C.
cupants Of shack and tent, riding him
self to the blazing front Of the Poodle
Dog"
Late ~ the hour was, the saloon
and. the gambling rooms above were
al crowded. Hamlin plunged into the
mass Of men. pressing passage back
and forth. his eyes searching the faces,
while he eagerly questioned those with
whom ho had any acquaintance. Few
among these could recall to mind
either ~Reb" or his boon companion.
and even those who did retained no
recollection Of having seen the two
lately. The bartenders asserted that
neither man had been there that night.
and tho dealers above were equally
positive. The city marshal, encoun-
tered outside. remembered Dupont,
and had seen him 1t the hotel three
hours before. but was positive the fell
low had not been On the streets since.
Counors he did not know. but II the

ture Of 0eso1atio0, q d~un-coloreo plain,
unrelieved BY vegetation, matching
the skies above, extending In every d.
rection through weary leagues Of dis
NAL loneliness. The searching eye
caught no relief from desolate same
ness, drear monotony. Nowhere was
there movement, or any semblance OF
life. Behind, the land was broken by
ravines, but in every other direction
it stretched level to the horizon: ex-
cept that far OF southwark arose ir-
regular ridges of sand, barren. ugly
blotches, %colorless, and forever chang
ing formation under the beating OF a
ceaseless wind. 1t was desert, across
which not even a snake Grawled, and
no wing Of migrating bird beat the
leaden sky above.
The marks Of their horses hoofs
cutting sharply into the soil, told accu-
rately the fugitives' rate Of progress.
and the pursuers swept forward with
caution. anxious to spare their mounts
and to keep out Of vision themselves
until nightfall. Their success depend.
ed largely on surprise, and the conf
dence Of those ahead that they were
unpursued. WATSON expressed the sit.
uation exactly, as the four halted a
