again roamed these plains as mas

but-the fellow who fired on them! He
was 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 glimpse within. There was light
from above, f1ittering dimly through
some crevice in the bluff, and the
darker shadows were Redeemed by the
CHEEKY glow of fire place directly op-
posite, although where the smoke dis
appeared was not at first evident.
Hamlin perceived these features at a
glance, standing motionless.- His
quick eyes visioned the whole interior

scarcely realized these details at the
time so closely was his whole atten-

sergeant surveyed him moment, his

he stepped within and closed the door
At the slight sound the other leaped
to his feet, overturning the stool, and
whirled about swiftly. his right hand
dropping to his belt.
THAT will do. friend!" Hamlin's
voice rang stern.
Stand as you are-your gun Is ly-
ing on the bench yonder. Rather
careless Of you in this country. No.

is a hair trigger"
The fellow stared helpless into the

The fellows daughter was with him,
when the pinch was made, an they
he'd to take her long too. Then the
officer man got ugly, an had to be
shot, an LIE Fevre quarrelled with the
other white man in the outfit, an

Hamlin was leaning forward, watch
ing the speaker intently. and it seem
ed to him his heart had stopped beat
ing. This story had the semblance
OF truth; it was the truth. So Dupont
and LIE Fevre were one and the same.
He could believe this now, could per-
ceive the resemblance, although the
man had grown older, taken on flesh.
and disguised himself wonderfully by
growing that. black beard. Yet, at the
moment, he scarcely considered the
man at all; his whole interest con-
centrated on the fate of the unfortu-
nate girl.
Where were they taking her,
Hughes-do you know?"
Want but one place fer 'em to
take her-the Cheyennes hev got win

all hell couldn't pry her loose"
And lie Fevre dared go there?
Among those hostiles?"

Why, he's hand in glove with the
whole bunch. He's raided with 'em,
decked out in feathers an war-paint."
The sergeant thought rapidly and
leaped to a sudden conclusion.
And you were trying to kill him
when you shot US up?"
