went down again.
Hamlin struck him twice, his chilled
hand tingling to the blow, but the
inert figure moved.

The ghostly shape of the hill was to
their right, and they circled it's base
almost waist-deep In drift. This
brought the wind directly into their
faces, and the horses baked, dragging
back and compelling both men to beat
them into submission. WATSON was
Jerking at the bit, his back turned so
that he could see nothing ahead. but
Hamlin, flashing the rear animal with
his quirt, still faced the mound, a
mere dim shadow through the mists
OF snow. He saw the flash of yellow
flame that leaped from it's summit
heard the sharp report Of a gun. and
saw WATSON crumble up, and go down,
still clinging to his horses rein. It
came so suddenly, sc Unexpectedly,
that the single living mar left scarce
ly realized what had happened. Yet
dazed as he was, some swift impulse
flung him, headlong, into the snow
behind his pony, and even as he fell,
his numbed fingers gripped for the
revolver at his hip. The hidden
marksman shot twice, evidently dis
corning only dim outlines at which to
aim; the red of discharge cut the
gloom like a knife. One ball hurtled
past Hamlin's head; the other found
billet In Wade's horse, and the strick-
en- creature toppled over, bearing its
dead burden with him. The Sergeant
ripped off his glove, found the trigger
with his half-frozen fingers, and fired
twice. Then, with an oath, he leaped
madly to his feet, and dashed straight
at the silent hill.

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 n 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 a wide cleft In the
bank, dimly visible, appeared the well
come waters Of the Cimarron. The
stream was but partly frozen over, the
lark 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 a few
yards, and the whirling snow crystals
blinded him as he faced the fury of
the wind sweeping down the valley.
Nothing met his gaze; no sound reach

that he was not alone; that from

would be better to take a chance; per-

CHAPTER XVI,
Unseen Dancer.


Once he paused, blinded by the
snow, flung up his arm, and fred,
imagining he saw the dim shape of a
man on the ridge summit. There was
no return shot. no visible movement.
Reckless, mad with rage, he sprang
up the wind-swept side, and reached
the crest. 1t was deserted, except for
tracks already nearly obliterated by
the fierce wind. Helpless, baf1ed, the
Sergeant stared about him into the
driving flakes, his u%ngloved, stiffen-
Ing hand gripping the cold butt Of
his Colt, ready for any emergency.
Nothing but vacancy and silence en-
comprised him. At his feet the snow
was still trampled; he could see
where the man had kneeled to fire;
where he had u down the opposite
side of the hill. There had been only
one-a white man from. the imprint
and he had fed south, vanishing in
the smother.
1t required an effort for the Ser
geant to recover, to realize his true
position, and the meaning Of this mys-
FERROUS attack. He was no longer
numb with cold OF staggering from
weakness. The excitement had sent
the hot blood pulsing through his
veins; had brought back to his heart
the fighting instinct. Every desire
urged him forward, clamoring for re-
venge, but the aroused sense Of q
plainsman held him ~motionless, star.
ing about, listening for any sound. Be-
hind him, down there In the hollow,
were huddled the horses Of his out
fit, scarcely distinguishable from
where he stood. II he should venture
farther of, he might never be able
to find a way back again. Even in the
gray light Of dawn he could see moth
ing distinctly a dozen yards distant.
And WATSON had the compass. This
was the thought which brought him
tramping back through the drifts
WATSON! Wade was dead, Carroll
little better, but the scout might have
been only slightly wounded. He wad-
! ed through the nov to where the
man lay, face downward, his face still
gripping the rein. Before Hamlin
turned him over, he saw the jagged
wound and knew death had been in
Simultaneous. He stared down at the
white face, already powdered with
snow; then glared about into the
murky distances, revolver ready for
action. every nerve throbbing. God!
II he ever met the murderer! Then
swift reaction came, and he buried his
eyes on the neck Of the nearest horse,
and his body shook with half-sup-
pressed sobs. The whole horror of 1t
gripped him in that instant, broke his
iron will, and left him weak as q child.
But the mood did not last. Little
by little he gained control, stood up
! again in the snow. and began to

think. He was a man, and must do
a mans work. With an oath he forced
himself to act; reloaded his revolver,
thrust 1t back into the holster at his
hip. and, with one parting glance at
poor Sam, plowed across through the
drifts to Carroll. He realized now his
duty, the thing he must strive to &C
complish. Wade and WATSON were
gone; no human effort could aid them,
but Carroll lived, and might be saved.
And 1t was for him alone now to serve
Molly. The sudden comprehension Of
all this stung like the lash Of a whip,
transformed him again into a fighter,
a soldier Of the sort who refuses to
acknowledge defeat. His eyes dark
ened. his lips PRESSED together in a
straight line.
Carroll lay helpless, inert, his head
hanging down against the neck Of his
horse. The Sergeant jerked him erect,
roughly beating him into conscious
ness; nor did he desist until the fell
lows eyes opened in a dull stare.
'1ll pound the life out of you unless
you brace up, George" he muttered.
That's right-get mad If you want to.
1t will do you nc good. Wait until l
get that quirt; that will set your blood
moving. No! Wake up! Die, moth
ing! See here, man, there's the river
just ahead"
He picked up his glove, undid the
reins from Wasson's stiffened fingers,
and urged the horses forward. Carroll
lurched drunkenly in the saddle, yet
retained sufficient life to cling to the
pommel, and thus the outfit plunged
blindly forward into the storm, leav-
ing the dead men where they lay.
There was nothing else to do; Ham,
Inns heart choked him as he piowed

threatening to fall before each blast
that smote them. Hoping to discover
some splinters for a fire, Hamlin
kicked a clear space In the snow, yet
kept his face always toward the BLUM,
his eyes vigilantly searching for any
skulking figure. Silent as those des-
ert surroundings appeared, the ser
geant knew he was not alone. He had
a feeling that he was being watched.
spied upon; that somewhere near at
hand, crouching In that solitude, the
eyes Of murder followed his every
movement. Suddenly he Strengthened
up, STEERING at the blum nearly op-
posite where he stood. Was 1t q
dream, an illusion, or was that actual
ly the front of a cabin at the base Of
the bank? He could not believe II
possible, nor could he be sure. II SO.
then It consisted merely of a room
~excavated in the side Of the hill, the
opening closed in by cottonwood logs.
1t in no way extended outward beyond
the contour Of the bank, and was so
plastered with snow as to be almost
indistinguishable a dozen steps away.
Yet those were logs, regularly, laid,
beyond a doubt; he was certain he
detected now the dim outlines Of q
door. and a smooth wooden shutter, to
which the snow refused to cling, the
size and shape of a small window. His
hoart throbbing with excitement, the
Sergeant slipped In against the blum
for protection, moving cautiously
closer until he convinced himself OF
the reality Of his strange discovery by
feeling the rough bark Of the logs,
1t was a form Of habitation Of some
kind beyond question; apparently un'
occupied, for there were no tracks In
the snow without, and no smoke OF a
fire visible anywhere.
