Wiifred hastily asked for time.

They partook of breakfast in

when the light had been ex-
tinguished, Wilcox Strengthened
himself and said:

The governor of Texas said that
there man would be held respon-
hible for all the deeds done BY

has been handed down. Now
whether I'm that man, or just
thought to be that man, makes
little difference. I'm a fugitive on
the face of the earth without an
ark of safety-referring TO my
cove. That's me.
Now look at Lahoma. She has

And every body will honor you and

With difficulty, Wilfred effect
ed another compromise. They
waited till night before leaving
the retreat. The reason accepted
for this delay was that in the
daytime the deputies would stop
them aid wilcox wanted to give
himself up to the chief In com
mand. When 1t was dark they
slipped down the gully.
Wilfred had hoped to the last
that Wilcox could be prevailed
on to alter his decision. But It
was in vain, and as they clsttered
up to the hotel veranda, Wilcox
was searching the crowd for a
glimpse of the sheriff.
The street was unusually full
for that time of night; some topic
of interest seemed to engage all
minds until Willock's figure was
recognized; then, indeed, he held
the center of attention without

She held out her trembling

The crowd was with her, now.
All fiercenes gone, tears here and
there. broad grins to hide deep
emotion, open admiration, touch
ed with tenderness, in the eyes
that took in her shy flower-like
beauty.

the spokesman of the crowd. And
other voices cried, Give her BILL

While Mfzzoo fastened to Bill's
cell, some one exclaimed, Invite

Lahoma, who had taken refuge
behind Wilfred's protection, wept
and laughed in a rosy glow of tri-

At this unexpected develop

into a roar. After that mighty
merriment, Bill was as safe as a
babe. Twenty volunteers pressed
forward to carry the wedding
guest from his cell. And when
the old man slowly but proudly
followed Wilfred and Lahoma to

lions were to be made-particu-

CHAPTER XXI
Mine Enemy.

The general suspicion that Bill
Atkins knew more about Brick
Wilcox than he had revealed, was
not without foundation. Bill had
carried to his friend-hidden in
the crevice in the mountain-top-
the news of Red Kimball's death;
since them, they had not seen
each other.
Wilcox transferred all his rage
against the dead enemy to the liv-
ing Gledware, who had placed
himself on record as witness
against him. He reminded HIM
self how Gledware had caused the
death of Red Feather in cold
blooded bargaining. He meditat-
ed on Gledware's attitude toward
Lahoma.
To wait for the coming of the
witness would be to lose an op-
portunity that might never recur.
Wilcox would go to him.
Thus ii came about that while
the cove was being examined,
Brick, riding his fastest pony, was
on the way to Kansas City.
There Brick learned that G1ed-
ware was still at his country place
by the lake and he lost no time
in proceeding there. 1t was about
nine o'clock in the morning when
he arrived and started toward the
house by way of the garden. Ar
rested by the voices of a girl and
man. he followed their recedfng
tones, and arrived at the boat
house just in time to see Gledware
and Annabel put out in a light
skiff rowed by an apparently ola
and infirm boatman.
Brick, from behind a elump of
bushes, watched them.
The boatman sat with his back
to Gledware and Annabel. He
wore a long dingy coat of light
gray and a huge battered straw
hat, whose wide -brim hid his hair
and almost eelfpsed his face. Will
lock stared at the skfff as il shot
out from the landing, and his
brow wrinkled in anxious
thought.
There was something about
that boatman-now, when he
tilted up his head slightly, and
the hat failed to eonceai-was IL
possible!
MY heaveni" whispered Will
lock; tits Red feather"
In a flash, Wilcox eompre-
hended all. The Indian had drop
ped the pin in Kimbsll's path, and
Kimball, finoing IL, had carried
1t to Gledware as IL Red Feather
we're dead. The Indian had led
his braves against the stage
coach-Kimbali had fallen under
his knife, and now the Indian
was masquerading as a boatman.
And that purpose could mean
only one thing.

When Bill Atkins with an air
OF impenetrable mystery invited
Wilfred Compton to a ride that
might keep him from his bride

guessed that wilcox had been

much, urged haste, so Wilfred
rode away with Bill, and Wilcox
was not mentioned.
