CHAPTER XIV.
Strategy.

One week went to repairs. To
man of action such week is longer
than ten years of service. But chained
to bed in the Sleepy Cat hospital, De
Spain had no escape from one week of
thinking, and for that week he thought
about Nan Morgan. And the impulse
that moved hin the first moment he
could get out Of bed and into a saddle
was to spur hts way hard and fast
to her; to make her. against a score
OF burly cousins, his own; and never
to release her from his sudden arms
again.
With De Spain to think was to do I;
at least to do something, but not with
out further careful thinking, and not
without anticipating every chance of
failure. And his manner was to cast
up oil difficulties and obstacles In a
situation, brush them aside, and have
his will if the heavens fell; and he
now set himself, while doing his rou-
tine work every day, to do one par
ticular thing-to see, talk to, plead
with struggle with the woman, or girl,
rather-child, even, to his thoughts, so
fragile she was-this girl who had
given him back his life against her
own marauding relatives.
His friends saw that something was
absorbing him In an unusual, even an
extraordinary way. Jet none could ar
rive at a certain conclusion as to what
1t was. The one man in the country
who could have surmised the situa-
ton between the twO-the barn boss,
McAlpin-if he entertained suspicious,
was far too pawky to share them with
anyone.
When two weeks had passed without
De SPANS having seen Nan or having
heard Of her being seen, the conclu-
sion urged itself on him that she was
either al or in trouble-perhaps In
trouble for helping him; q moment

the precipice when the narrowing
ledge left him only inches under foot /;
clinging with torn hands TO every fa-
vorsng crevice, and pausing when the
peril was extreme for fresh strength,
De Spain dragged his injured foot
across the sheer face of Ell Captain in
the last shadows of the days failing
light.
Spent ty his effort, De Spain reached
the rendezvous Nan had indicated, as
nearly as the stars would tell him, by
ten clock. 1t was only after long
and doubtful hour that he heard the
muffied footballs of horse. He stood
concealed among the smaller trees I'M
til he could distinguish the outlines OF
the animal, and his eye caught the fig
ure OF the rider.
De Spain stepped out of the trees
and, moving toward Nan, caught her
hand and helped her to the ground.
She enjolned silence, and led the
horse into the little grove. Stopping
well within 1t, she stopped and be-
gan rearranging the muf1ers on the
hoofs.
''Tm afraid I'm too late" she said.
''How long have you been here" She
faced De Spain with one hand on the
pony's shoulder.
did you have any falls?"
'You see I'm here. You'll How
could you get here at all with horseT'
'"They are hiding on both trails out
side watching for you-and the moon
will be up" She seemed very anxious.
De Spain made light Of her fears. 'Tll
get past them-rve got to, Nan. Don't
give 1t & thought"
Il don't know what you'll think of
me-" He heard the troubled note
in her voice.
'What do you meanT
She began to unbuttol her jacket.
Throwing back the revers, she felt
inside around her waist, unfastened
after a moment and drew forth leath-
ern strap. She laid 1t In De Spain's
hands. This Is yours" she said in a
whisper.
He felt It questioningly, hurriedly,
then with amazement. "Not a car
fridge belt - he exclaimed.
''It's your own"
"Where-T She made no answer.
where did you get 1t, Nan?" he whis-
pered hurrledly.

"Have you been to Calabasas and

/ boss, standing In the doorway at the
Calabasas barns. saw a hOrseman rid
ing at a leisurely pace up the Thief
River road. The barnman scrutinized
the approaching stranger closely.
There was something strange and
something familiar in the outlines of
the figure. But when the night rider
had dismounted in trout of the barn
| door. turned his horse loose, and, limp
ing stiffly walked forward ON foot, the
man rubbed his eyes hard before he
could believe them. Then he uttered
an incredulous greeting and led Henry
! de Spain into the barn Office.
There's friends OF yours In Your
room upstairs right now" he declared,
bullying with shock. De Spain, sitting
down, forbade the barnman to disturb
them, only asking who they were.
When he had asked half dozen
more leisurely questions and avoided
answering twice as many, the barnman
at De Spain's request helped him up
stairs. Beside himself with excite
ment, the night boss turned, grInning.
as he laid one hand on the doorknob
and the other on De SPANS shoulder.
'You couldn't have come" he whis-
pered loudly, Eat a better time"
The entryway was dark, and from
the silence within the room one might
have thought It's occupants. if there
were such, wrapped in slumber. But
at intervals a faint clicking sound
could be heard. The night man threw
open the door. BY the light of two
stage-lamps, one set on the dresser
and the other on window ledge. four
men sat about a rickety table in life
land-death struggle at cards. No voice
broke the tense silence, not even when
the door was thrown broadly open.
No one-neither Lefever, Scott.
Frank Elpaso nor McAlpn-looked up
when De Spain walked into the room
and, with the night man tiptoeing be-
hind, advanced composedly toward the
group. Even then his presence would
have passed unnoticed, but that Bob
Scott's ear mechanically recorded the
limping step and transmitted to his
trained intelligence merely notice of
something unusual.
Scott, picking up his cards one at a
time as Lefever dealt raised his eyes.
Startling as the sight of the man
given up for dead must have been, no
muscle of Bob SCOTS body moved.
His expression of surprise slowly dis
solved into grin that mutely invited
the others, as he had found out for
himself. to find out for themselves.
Lefever finished hit deal. threw down
the pack, and picked up his hand. His
suspicious eyes never rose above the
when he had thumbed his cards and
looked from one to the other of the
remaining players tn read the weather
signals, he perceived on SCOTS face
an unwOnted expression, and looked to
where the scouts gaze was turned for
an explanation of it. Lefever's own
eyes, at the sight of the thinned, ia
miliar face behind Elpaso's chair,
starting. opened like full moons. The
big fellow spread one hand out, his
cards hidden within it, and with the
other hand prudently drew down his
pile of chips. Gentlemen" he said
lightly, "this game Is interned.' He
rose and put silent hand across the
table over Elpaso's shoulder. Henry"
he exclaimed impassively, zone Ques-
ton, II you please-and only one: How

Nothing in the way of a venture

stopping him near the river bs4ige.
