CHAPTER XVII.
Hughes Story.

Hamlln thrust MS grove lntO Ms
belt, drew forth his revolver, and
gripped its stock with bare hand. This
odd, hidden dwelling might be de-
serted, mere empty shack, but he
could not discornect 1t in his mind
from that murderous attack made
upon their little party two hours be-
fore. Why was II here In the heart of
this desert? Why built with such evil
dent intent of concealment? But for
what had occurred on the plateau
above, his suspicious would never
have been aroused. This was already
becoming a cattle country; adventur.
Gus Texans, seeking free range and
abundant water, had advanced along
all these prominent streams with their
grazing herds of long horns. Little by
little they had gained precarious foot.
hold on the Indian domains, slowly
forcing the savages westward. The
struggle had been continuous for
years. and the final result inevitable.
Yet this year the story had been a
different one. for the united tribes had
swept the invading stockmen back,
had butchered their cattle, and once
again roamed these plains as mas
tiers. Hamlin knew this he had met
and talked with those driven out, and
he was aware that even now Black
Kettles winter camp of hostiles was
not far away. This hut might, of
course, be the deserted site of some
old COW camp, some outriders shack,
but-the fellow who fired on them! He
was a reality-a dangerous reality
and he was hiding somewhere close
at hand.
The sergeant stole along the front
to the door. listening intently for any
warning sound from either without or
within. Every nerve was on edge; all
else forgotten except the intensity OF
the moment. He could perceive moth.
ing to alarm him, no evidence OF any
presence inside. Slowly, noiselessly
his Colt poised for instant action, he
lifted the wooden latch. and permitted
the door to swing slightly ajar, yield
ing a glimpse within. There was light

some crevice in the bluff, and the
darker shadows we're Redeemed by the
CHEEKY glow Of fire place directly op

his way past, but he had no strength
to lift those heavy bodies. Every
ounce of power must be conserved for
the preservation of life. Little as he
could see through the snow blasts
there was but one means Of passage,
that along the narrow rift between the
ridges. The snow lay deep here, but
they floundered ahead, barely able to
surmount the drifts, until suddenly
they emerged upon an open space,
sheltered somewhat by the low hills
and swept clean by the wind. Direct
ly beneath, down wide cleft In the
bank, dimly visible, appeared the vel.
come waters Of the Cimarron. The
stream was but partly frozen over, the
dark current flowing In odd contrast
between the banks Of ice and snow.
The Sergeant halted. examining his
surroundings cautiously, expecting ev'
cry instant to be fred upon by some
unseen foe. The violence of the storm
prevented his seeing beyond few
