De Spain Rides Alone.

He hao ridden the trail but q short
time when 1t led him in wide angle
backward and around toward Gala
basas, and he found, presently, that the
men he was riding after were appar-
emily heading for the stage barns. In
the north the rising curtain had dark
ened. Toward Sleepy Cat the land
scape was already obliterated. In the
south the sun shone, but the air had
grown suddenly cold and in the sharp
drop De Spain realized what was COM
ing. His first thought was of the south
ern stages, which must be warned, and
as he galloped up to big barn, with this
thought in mind he saw, standing in
the doorway, Bull Page.
De Spain regarded him with aston
ishment. "How did you get here?" was
his sharp question.
Page grinned. "Got what was aft

'They headed north" exclaimed De
Spain. The light from the fast-chang.
ing sky fell copper-colored across his
horse and figure. McAlpin, followed by
a hostler, appeared at the barn door.
Bull nodded to De Spain. "Said they

Even as he spoke, the swift-rolling

sun out of the sky.

CHAPTER xxx.
The Truth.


With the desperation of JOY born
of despair she laid her burning cheek
Historically against his cheek. She
rained kisses on his ice-crusted broWs
and snow-beaten eyes. Her arms heio
him rigidly. He could not move nor
speak till she would let him. Trans
formed, this mountain girl who gave
herself so shyly, forgot everything. Her
words crowded on his ears. She re-
peated his name in an ecstasy OF wei
come, drew down his lips, laughed, re-
joiced, knew no shamefacedness ana
no restraint-she was one freed from
the stroke of descending knife. A
moment before she had faced death
alone; it was still death she faced
she realized thls-but 1t was death, at
least, together, and her joy and tears
rose from her heart in one stream.
De Spain comforted her, quoted her,
cut away one of the coats from his
horse, slipped it over her shoulders, in
cased her in the heavy fur, and turned
his eyes to Duke.
The old mans set, square face sur
rendered nothing of implacability to
the dangers confronting him. DE
Spain looked for none of that. He had
known the Morgan record too long, and
faced the Morgan men too often, to
fancy they would finch at the drum
beat of death.
The two men, in the deadly, driving
snow, eyed each other. Out of the old
mans deep-set eyes burned the resist
ance of hundred storms faced before
But he was caught now like a wolf IL
trap, and he knew he had little to
hope for, little to fear. AS De Spain
regarded him, something like pity may
have mixed with his hatred. The old
outlaw was thinly clad. His open
throat was beaten with snow, and,
standing beside the wagon, he held the
team reins In bare hand. De Spain
cut the other coat from his saddle and
held 1t out. Duke pretended not to
see, and, when not longer equal to
keeping up the pretense, shook his
head.
"Take it," said De Spain CURLY.
"No."
"Take It, I say. You and will settle
our affairs when we get Nan out of
this" he insisted.
"De SpaInr Dukes voice, as was
Its wont, cracked like a pistol. II can
say all I've got to say to you right

"No."
"Yes," cried the old iran

start for Sleepy Cat, to avoid trouble
with them. Deeming the second the
more probable conclusion. De Spain.
absorbed In his speculations, continued
toward the gap TO see whether he could
not pick up the trail of Pages rig far
Their on.
Within mile further surprise
awaited him. The two horsmen, who
had headed for the gap after stopping
Page, had left the trail. turned TO the
south, down a small draw, which would
screen them from sight, and set out
across the desert.
No trail and no habitation lay in the
direction they had taken-and 1t
seemed clearer TO De Spain that the
second horse was led horse. There
was Il story in the incident. but his in
terest lay in following Pages move
ments, and he spurred swiftly forward
to see whether his messenger had re-
sumed the gap trail and gone on with
his mission. He followed this quest al
most to the mountains, without recov-
ering any trace of Pages rig. He
halted. 1t was certain now that Page
had not gone into the gap.
Perplexed and annoyed, De Spain,
from the high ground on which he sat
his horse, cast his eyes far over the
desert. The brilliant sunshine flooded
| ii as far as the eye could reach. He
scanned the vast space without detect
ing a sign of life anywhere, though
none better than he knew that any
his gaze caught something of interest
on the farthest northern horizon, and
on this his scrutiny rested long time.
A soft brown curtain rose just above
the earth line against the blue sky. To-
ward the east it died away and toward
the west it was cut off by the Super
| stition peaks.
De Spain, without giving the weather
signs much thought, recognized their
import, but his mind was filled with
his own anxieties and he rode smart
ly back toward Calabasas, because he
was not at ease over the puzzles in the
trail. When he reached the depression
where the horsemen had, without any
apparent reason, turned south, he halt
ed. Should he follow them or turn
north to follow Pages wanderings? If
Page had been scared away from the
gap, for time, he probably had no in
formation that De Spain wanted, and
De Spain knew his cunning and per-
sistence well enough to be confident
he would be back on the gap road, and
within the cover of the mountains, be-
fore storm should overtake him. On
the north the brown curtain had risen
| fast and already enveloped the farthest
peaks Of the range. Letting his horse
stretch its neck, he fasitated mo-
ment longer trying to decide whether
to follow, ne men to the south or the
wagon to the north. A woman might
have done better. But no good angel
was there to guide his decision, and in
another moment he was riding rapidly
to the south with the even, brown
misty cloud behind him rolling higher
into the northern sky.
