CHAPTER XIV.
In Pursuit.

The four men, heavily armed, and
equipped for winter service, rode up
the bank of the ravine to the irregu-
larity of plain beyond. The trail, lead
ing directly south into the solitudes,
was easily followed, and Wasson,
slightly in advance of the others, made
no attempt to check his horse, content
to lean forward, his keen eyes mark
ing every sign. Scarcely a word was
exchanged, since Hamlin had explained
what had occurred as they crossed the
river. Hardly less interested than the
Sergeant. the sober-faced scout con
centrated every energy on the pursuit,
both men realizing the necessity. of
haste. Not only would the trail be diff
ficult after they attained the sand belt,
but. If snow fell, would be utterly blot
ted out And the dull, murky sky
threatened snow, the sharp wind hav-
ing already veered to the northwest.

by was so cut up by hoofs and wheels
as to yield no 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 ranchman somewhere
to the southwark, jumped to the con
clusion that the fellow would natural
ly head in that direction, seeking IA
m1liar 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
ly 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 never catch them on foot.
They'll be behind the sand-dunes be-
fore this. Before we go back, boys,
We'll see il they left the trail where
1t 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 on the sloping bank,
Hamlin sprang down to where the
marks disappeared around the edge of
a large bowlder His hand on the
stone, he stopped suddenly with quick
indrawing of breath, staring down at
motionless figure lying almost at
his feet. The man, roughly dressed,
lay on his face, 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.

losses of cattle when they are
pastured upon corn stalk fields. Some
of these, doubtless, die from eating
too much dry and indigestible food,
others from diseases which are not in
any way derived from corn stalks.
However, many cattle die from symp-
TOMS so typical that the term Corn
Stalk Disease" has gradually acquired
the significance of disease in which
the cattle show prevailingly nervous
symptoms. The onset of the disease
is sometimes sudden. Preliminary
symptoms come on few hours be-
fore the severe attack. At first the
animals seem to be sluggish and to
separate themselves from the remain
der of the herd. The next symptom
which comes on may be viciousness.
Animals previously very gentle may
attack a man or horse. This symp-
tom frequently escapes observation.
The walk is very staggering and the
animal stands with legs braced apart.
After a short time it falls to the
ground and lies trembling violently.
On approaching it when in this con-
dition it frequently takes no notice
until one is quite close, then starts
suddenly as if much frightened 1t
is not unusual for it to bawl almost
constantly. The animal goes down
on the ground and draws its body
into a peculiar position. Saliva drools
from the mouth and bloody feces is
passed from the rectum. Most cases
die within six or eight hours after
violent symptoms are noted, few
live longer. In those cases which
die quickly the contents of the stom-
ach are found to be practically nor
NAL; this contradicts the theory that
the trouble is caused by loading the
stomach with indigestible food
Many theories have been advanced
to explain this trouble. The theory
of impaction. that is, overlooking the
stomach with indigestible material
has been discussed. Some believe
that a poisonous weed in the field is
the cause, others that certain stalks
of corn are poisonous, others that the
corn in connection with certain weeds
liberates hydrocianic or prussic acid
and that this acid is the active agent
in the disease. In fact much work
has been done upon the various
phases of the prussic acid theory be-
cause the symptoms of this disease
quite closely resemble those which
might arise from small dose of prus-
sic acid. More will be said about
these theories in discussing the ex-
periments which the veterinary de-
partment of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College has carried out.
Many farmers have been of the
opinion that in some way or other
the small stalks of corn which do not
develop ears (suckers) are the cause
of this disease. They have main
tanned that because these were green
and sweet that the cattle, when turn
ed into the field, ate them in prefer
ence to the others. To test this the
college placed one yearling heifer
and one yearling steer in feed lot
under the care of DR.. c. w. Hobbs,
of Smith Center. These animals were
fed for about two months on such
stalks. The stalks were cut and
brought in fresh so that the calves
were never fed stalks more than two
days old. The stalks were cut from
fields in which cattle had contracted

that about the right program, Ser
geant"
Burning with impatience as Hamlin
was, fearful that every additional mo-
ment of delay might increase the girls
danger, he was yet soldier and plains
man enough to realize the wisdom of
the old scout. There were at least
four men in the party pursued, two Of
them Indian warriors, the two whites
desperate characters. Without doubt
they would put up a fierce fight, or, If
warned in time, could easily scatter
and disappear.
"Of course you are right, SAM" he
replied promptly. "Only am so afraid
of what may happen to Miss Molly"
Forget it. Thar's nuthin' goin' ter
happen to her while the bunch is on

CHAPTER XIII.
The Dead Body.


That both Mcdonald and his daugh-
Der were involved In this strange puz-
Kle was already clear. The disappear
ance OF the one was as mysterious as
That OF the other. Whether the orig
1nal conspiracy had centered about the
Major. and Miss Molly had merely
Been drawn into the net through acci-
dent. or whether both were destined
rs victims from the first, could not be
determined by theory. Indeed the
Eergeant could evolve no theory, could
discover no purpose In the outrage.
ConVinced that Dupont and his wife
were the moving spirits, he yet pos
Bessed no satisfactory reason for
Hharging them with the crime, for
which there was no apparent object
Nothing remained to be done but
search the town, blind search in. the
Nope OF uncovering some trail. That
Isrime had been committed-either
lmurder or abduction-was evident;
rne two had not dropped thus sudden
~ out Of sight without cause Nor did
1t seem possible they could have been
fWhisked away without leaving some
brace behind. The town was accus-
e0nned to murder and sudden death;
khe echo of revolver shots would create
mo panic, awaken no alarm, and yet
khe place was small, and there was
ittRe likelihood that any deed OF vio-
Renee would pass long unnoticed. With
h few words of instruction, and hasty
descriptions of both Dupont and Con.
mOrs, Hamlin sent his men down the
Htraggling street to drag out the oc-
eupants of shack and tent, riding him
self to the blazing front of the Poodle
DOG"
Late as the hour was, the saloon
hEnd the gambling rooms above were
all crowded. Hamlin plunged into the
EHnass of men, pressing passage back
yRnd forth, his eyes searching the faces,
while he eagerly questioned those with
whom he had any acquaintance. Few
among these could recall to mind
'either "Reb" or his boon companion.
and even those who did retained no
'Teeciiection of having seen the two
lately. The bartenders asserted that
neither man had been there that night,
and the dealers above were equally
positive. The city marshal, encoun-
Aered outside, remembered Dupont,
and had seen him at the hotel three
hours before, but was positive the fell
ltOT had not been on the streets since.
COnnors he did not know, but IL the
man was Major McDonald's driver,
Then he was missing all right, for Cap
rain Barrett had to employ livery
man to drive Mrs. Dupont back to the
dOrt. No, there was no lady with her;
ne was sure, for he had watched them
get into the carriage.
The troopers were no more fortu-

however, had enjoyed the occasion,
and appeared anxious for more. Hav-
Ing exhausted the possibilities of the
town, the soldiers procured lanterns,
and. leaving the horses behind, began
exploring the prairie. In this labor
they were assisted by the marshal.
and few aroused citizens hastily i'm.
pressed into a posse. The search was
thorough one, but the ground near.
