NEW CITY BUILDING PLAN
Rectangular Arrangement OF Streets

The rectangular arrangement or

though there Is no hard and fast F%'e
about It, Streets are laid out IL
sweeping curves or parabolas, es IL
parks or private estates. By this
means recurring vistas of parking and
houses are secured, as well as the
maximum or light, eir, and open as
poets. Even in the poorer quarters
this plan is pureued. This has COM
pletely revolutionized the appearance
OF the city.

Aamltn and Molly escape In the darkness.
Hamlin tells Molly he was discharged
from the Confederate service In disgrace
and at the close OF the war enlisted In

his Disgrace. Troops APPEAR and under
escort Of Lieut.. 0askins Molly starts to
Join her father. Hamiin leaves to rejoin

sfter 2 summer of nghting Indians and
night. Hamlin rushes out, sees what he
oslisves 10 the fgure of Molly hiding in
the darkness and falls over the body OF
Lieutenant Gaskins, who accuses Hamlin
OF shooting him. The sergeant is proven
Innocent. He sees Molly In company with
Mrs. Dupont, whom no recognizes as .

for LeFevre. Mrs. l>urcnt tells Hamlin

Dy 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 q ranchman somewhere
to the southwark. jumped to the con-
clusion that the fellow would natural.
ly 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 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, c. 'alry shod. About three
hours ahead of u.s." He Strengthened

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 II they left the trail where
II 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
large bowlder. His hand on the

indrawing Of breath, staring down at
a motionless figure lying almost at
his feet. The man. roughly dressed.

mastering his first sense of horror.
turned him over and gazed upon the

CHAPTER XIII.
The Dead Body.


That both Mcdonald and his daugh.
ter were involved in this strange puz-
Rle was already clear The disappear
ance Of the one was as mysterious as
that Of tho other. Whether the orig
inal conspiracy had centered about the
Major. and Miss Molly had merely
been drawn into the net through acci-
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 no purpose In the outrage.
Convinced that Dupont and his wife
were the moving spirits. he yet pos
sessed no satisfactory reason for
charging them with the crime. for
which there was 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.
ly out Of sight without cause. Nor did
II 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 no alarm, and yet
the place was small, and there was
little likelihood that any deed of VIC.
lence would pass long unnoticed. With
a 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 oc.
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
all 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 he 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 tina,
neither man had been there that night
and the dealers above were equally
positive. Tho city marshal. encoun
tered outside. remembered Dupont
and had seen him at the hotel thres
hours before. but was positive the fel
low had not been on the streets since
Connors he did not know. but II the
man was Major McDonald's driver
then he was missing all right. for Cap
tain Barrett had to employ a livery
man to drive Mrs. Dupont back to tn,
fort. No. there was no lady with her
he was sure. for he had watched then
get into the carriage.

the skies above, extending In every d.

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, q.

which not even snake crawled, and
no wing Of migrating bird beat the

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

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
