CHAPTER XxxVIlI.
The Upper Trail.

In the ten minutes delay necessi-
tated by this reverse, a number Of
more or less innocent bystanders
picked up the man Texas and carried
him off to breathe his last beneath a
roof; Hopi Jim picked himself up,
brushed his person tolerably clear Of
CLOUDS OF DUST ana profanity, and de-
parted in search of a mount to replace
the horse that had been shot under
him; and Judith sat her horse calmly,
smiling sweet insolence into the exas-
perated countenance of Marrophat.
Incidentally the fugitives disap-
peared round bend in the road that
led directly into the wild and barren
heart of the Painted hills.
In the brief interval that elapsed be-
fore his return with Hopi Jim, Mario
phat contrived to persuade the bandit
that Judith had been, at least indi-
rectly, responsible for the catastrophe,
with the upshot that, temporarily
blinded to her destinations by the gilt
ter of nineteen thousand dollars in the
near distance, Mr.. Slade maintained
his distance and a deaf ear to her
Establishments. The only information
as to their purpose that she was able
to extract from either man, when the
pursuing party turned aside from the
main trail, some distance from Mesa,
was that Hopi Jim knew short cut
through the range, via what he termed
the upper trail, by which they hoped
to be able to head the fugitives of be-
fore they could gain the desert on the
far side Of the hills.
Only at long intervals did they draw
rein to permit Hopi Jim to make re-
connoissance of the lower trail that
threaded the valley on the far side Of
the ridge.
Towart! noon he returned in haste
