zoo rejoined gently. II knowed you
wouldn't be accusing him so rancid

Wilfred felt a great relief. then a
great wonder.
Yes. he's dead. l don't say he's bet

world is. | don't like to censure them
that's departed. Brick Wilcox is still
with us, and him the county can't say

Red, and one of 'em the innocent driv-

amt all he done. No, sir. The very

me-what is saw when we men Of

II knew the bodies had been carried
away from the trail" exclaimed Will

But YOU didn't know they had been
bruns to town all this distance to be-
laid beside Red. You didn't know Red
had been stabbed SO he could be added
too. You didn't know the three of them
had been left on the street to rile up
every man with blood in his veins
Why, Wilfred, it's an insult to the
whole state Of Texas. Such highland
ed doings amt to be bore. If Brick
Wilcox don't want to be tried in court,
Is that an Excuse for killing off all
that might witness against him? It
might Of been once. But we're deter

I'd go If l felt myself caring, and no
body could help caring for you. That's
why left the country. Just as soon
as we laughed t%ogether-it happened.
That's why I didn't come again"
"Ies," sighed Lahoma, as if it was
not SO hard to understand now.
"And that's why I've come back
he added. Because I've kept on low
ing you"
YES" she sighed again. She closed
her eyes and seemed to fall asleep.
Perhaps 1t was a sort Of knowing sleep
that lost most Of the world, but chung
tenaciously to a few ideas. The noises
Of the night died away. Presently he
heard her murmur as a little smile
crept about the parted lips, The coye's
pretty big-therc's more room than l
thought"
When she was wide awake daylight
had slipped through the windows. "Oh,
Wilfred.' she exclaimed, sitting sud
denly erect and putting her hands to
her head mechanically. "Is-are we all
right?"
"AL right" said the young man
cheerily. "Therc'S Il good deal Of snow
on the ground, but it was blown off the
trail for the most part. Some friends
have provided US With the means of go
ing forward"
But l don't understand"
We'll finish the sandwiches and
melt some snow for water and then
mount. Look-see those two Indian
ponies fastened to the tongue of the
stage? They'll carry us to the next
station like the wind"
She stared from the window. Devil
dered.
Il don't know any more about them
than you" he answered her thoughts.
But there they are and here we are"
He said nothing about the bodies evi-
IDENTIFY carried away by those who had
brought the ponies. 'It's all a mystery
"a mystery Of the plains. I haven't
unraveled the very first thread Of it.
What's the use? The western way is
to take what comes, isn't it, whether
northers or ponies? There's a much
bigger mystery than all that filling my

She bent over the sandwich with
heightened color. Poor Brick!' she
murmured, as if to divert his thoughts.
But his sympathy just then was not for
Brick.
"Lahoma, you said that this is a sub
ject q man should bring up"
She looked at him brightly, still flush
ing. "Well?"
Pm bringing it up, Lahoma."
But we must be planning to save
Brick from arrest"

soft noises. not of wind or rain, were

movement of his hand as it grasped

E .NOI1 hours WllIfed sat opposite,
M staring at Lahoma's worn face,
III pathetic in it's youthful round
ness, from which the bloom
had vanished, wondering at her grace,
beauty, helplessness and perfect faith
in him. That faith revealed itself in
every line of the form lying along the
seat and spoke from the unconscious
face from which the brown hair was
outspread to dry.
How oddly her voice had sounded!
How strange had been its accent when
she said, "It never entered my mind
that l was the little grill" Had she
been sorry for the thought to come?
Did she think less Of him because he
had not remained true to Annabel?
Would it not have been far better to
wait until reaching their destination
before limiting Of love? Even while
perplexed over these problems and
while charmed by that appealing face,
with the softly parted lips, by the fig
ure that stirred in the rhythm of slum.
Der, other thoughts. other objects
weighed upon him-the two dead men,
the dead horse just outside. One Of
those men might be Red Kimball.
Armed and watchful, Wilfred wait.
I'd through the hours. When no longer
able to bear the uncertainty he crept
from the stage with the lantern and
examined the recent scene Of n furious
struggle. There were only two slain
the driver and one Of Red Kimball''s.
