to Sixteenth Street Despite
demonstrators.

An amended resolution providing for
the paving of South A street from
Fifth to Sixteenth streets was confirm
ed by the board of public works today
by unanimous vote. and the resolu-
ton referred to council for final de-
cision.
Thirty of the forty-seven resident
property owners on the street remon-
strated against the proposed improve
ment. There being majority against
the paving project 1t was necessary
for the board to refer 1t to council
The resolution originally provided
for the paving of South A street from
Fourth street to Sixteenth street, but
at the suggestion of Mr.. McMinn this
was amended to provide that Fifth
street should be the western extrem-
ity of the improvement. Mr.. McMinn
called for roll call vote on the
amended resolution and all board
members voted for it.
Owners Favor Macadam.
There were quite number Of in
terested property owners present at
the meeting. Several spoka all ad-
vocating that the street be r1acadamiz-
ed, an improvement which is always
provided for at the expense of the
city. -. ....-
One property owner complained
that the improvement would cost him
$3.50 or $500 and was very much sur
prised. as were other property owners.
when informed by the engineer that
the city paid for one-third of the i'm
provement and that his assessment
would amount to only $500. 1t was
made plain to them that assessments
for street paving always ranged be-
tween $40 and $500 per running foot
and that properties $50 feet either
side of the street which is improved
must also bear small part of the
total assessment

he vas eager to he gone. Instead Of
eating in the wagon he wrapped up
some food in a bread cloth, placed this
with a few other articles in a tarpau-
lin, among them powder and shot, and,
having lifted the key Of water to one
shoulder and the rope bound tarpaulin
to the other, he left the wagon with a
loaded gun in his hand.
Twilight had faded to starlight, and
the mountain range stood blackly de-
fined against the glittering stars. 1t
was easy to find his way, for on the
level sands there We're no impediments,
and when the mountain was reached
a low divide offered him easy passage
up the ascent. For the most part the
slopes were gradual, and in sleeper
places lodges Of granite, somewhat like
giant stairs, assisted him to the high
est ridge. From this vantage point he
could see the level plain stretching
away on the farther side.
A second ridge was not so high rs
the outer wall, and he paused here,
feeling more secure.
The fugitive was not interested in
the dimly defined shapes about him.
His attention had been attracted by a
crevice in the smooth rock ledge at
his feet. This ledge, barren Of vegeta-
ton and as level as q slab Of rough
marble, showed a long black line like
a crack in a stone pavement. At the
mans feet the crevice was perhaps
two feet wide.
Presently he set the key and the
tarpaulin ball on the ground, not to
rest his shoulders, but in order to sink
on his knees beside the crevice. He
put his face down over it, listening,
peering, but making no discovery.

stone to one end, lowered it into the
black space. The length of the lariat
slipped through his fingers and the
rope was following when suddenly the
rock found Judgment at the bottom.
On making this discovery he drew up
the lariat, opened the cloth containing
the food and began to eat rapidly and
with evident excitement.
When the first cravings of appetite
were partly satisfied he left his bakers

in the t%arpaulin and lowered it by

Then, having tied the end of the rope
to the gun barrel, he placed the gun
across the crevice and swung himself
down into the gloom.
The walls of the creyice were so close
together that he was able to steady his
knees against them, but as he nearedthe

The mountains had begun to spread
apart. There We're long ranges and
short. Here and there. a form that
had seemed an integral part Of some
range defined itself as distinct from
all others. lying like an island Of rock
in a sea Of unbrOken desert. Wilcox
was approaching the Wichita noun
tains from their southwestern extrem-
ity. As far as he could see in one di-
rection the grotesque forms stretched
in isolated chains or single groups; but
in the other the end vas reached, and
beyond lay the unbroken waste of the
Panhandle.
Swaying on his great legs a. with
the weakness Of an infant, he was
now very near the end Of the system.
A wall Of granite sparsely dotted with
green rose above him to a height Of
about $50 feet.
He sank to the ground. his eyes red
and dimmcd. For some time he re-

refusing to work. If yonder stood a

mountain, a curious white something

was it possible for a mirage to deceive

only a few hundred feet away? Per-
haps it was really a wagon. He star

no dream horses to this ghost wagon.
There was no sign Of life. If captured
by the Indians it would not have been
left intact. But how came a wagon
into this barren world?
He stared up at the sun as If to as
sure himself that he was awake, then
laughed hoarsely, foolishly. He began
to crawl forward, but the wagon did
not move. As it grew palmer in all
its details a new strength came to him.
He strove to rise and, after several at
tempts, succeeded. He staggered for
ward till his hands grasped n of the
wheels. 1t was no dream.
A searching look distinguished two
all others. Upon a mattress 1t the
rear Of the wagon lay a woman. her
face covered by a cloth, and near the
front seat stood a key Of water. The
rigid form of the woman and the posi-
ton of the arms and hands showed
that she was dead.
The man recognized this truth. but it
made only a dim impression. That

The race was long, but always un-
equal. The ruffians, who had dashed
from the scene Of the cabin almost in
an even line. scattered and struggled
u%nevenly. Now only two were able to
send bullets whistling about Wlllock's
head; now only one found it possible

The child who had lain so trustingly
upon Willock's wild bosom. who had
clung to him ms to a father-she was
safe! An unwonted smile crept under
the bristling beard Of the fugitive. as
he urged the pony forward In unrelax-
ing speed. Should he seek refuge
among civilized communities his crimes
would hang over bis head. To venture
into his old haunts In No Mans Land
would be to expose his back to the IS
sassin's knife, or his breast to ambush
ed m%urderers.
These were desperate reflections, and
yet Brick Wilcox rode on with that
odd smile about the grim lips. The
smile was unlike him, but, the whole
affair was such an experience as had
never entered his most daring fancy.
Never before In his life had he held a
child In his arms. still less had he felt
the sweet embrace of peaceful slum-
her.
The Il had risen when the pony,
after a few tottering steps, suddenly
sank to earth. Wilcox unfastened the
halter from its neck, tied it with the
lariat about his waist, and without
pause set out afOOt.
Though stiff from long riding. the
change Of motion 500 brought renew
ed vigor. Wilcox had grown thirsty.
and as the sun rose higher and beat
down on him from an unclouded sky,
his eyes searched the plains eagerly
for some shelter that promised water.
He did not look in vain. Against the
horizon rose the low blue shapes Of the
Wichita mountains, looking at first like

careless hand and set upright in the

CHAPTER u.
Tho Last Wagon.
YILLOCK believed now the
y" story that Henry Gledware
had reiterated in accents Of
abject terror. Surely this
was the"last wayon"in that train which
Red Kimball had attacked the morning
before. Impossible as it had seemed to
the highwaymen, Glcdware must have
been warned of the attack in time to
turn about and lash his horses OF Of
danger of discovery. At this spot Gled-
ware had cut loose the horses, mount
ed one with his stepdaughter. leaving
the other to go at will. This, then,
was the mother of that child whose
arm had lain in warm confidence about
his neck. On hands and knees Will
lock crept to the other mattress and
lifted the margin Of the large white
cloth.
His hand moved stealthily, slowly.
Catching sight Of something that faint
ly cleaned at the collar Of the dress,
he hesitated. His determination to ex-
anime the countenance was as firm as
ever, but his impulse to put it off as
long as possible was ever stronger. He
bent down to look closer at the orna-
ment. 1t was a round breastpin Of
onyx and pearl set in a heavy rim of
gold. The warm wind, tempered by
approaching night to a grateful balmi-
ness, stirred the cloth between his I'm
gers. He stared as if lost in profound
meditation. That pin resembled one
how the soothing touch of the wind
reminded him of her hand IN his fore
head. He might have gone back home
if she had not died long ago.
He searched the wagon for a spade.
1t was found in the box fastened to
the end of the wagon, and with the
spade in the gathering darkness be
dug Il grave near the mountain side.
When the sand was smoOthed over the
place he carried thither quantities Of
heavy stones and broken blocks Of
granite to preserve the body from wild
beasts.
1t was dark when the heap of stones
had been arranged In the form of a
low pyramid; but, though he had not
tasted food for t~wenty-four hours, ne
fingered beside the grave, his head bent
as if still struggling with those un-
wOnted memories of the long ago. At
last, as if forced by Il mysterious pow
