shaking smile, "you turned some trick

Bull chuckled.
'Bull, is old Duke Morgan a Repub
lican?"
Bull looked surprised at the turn OF
De SPANS question, but answered in
good faith: "Duke votes most any
ticket that's again the railroad"
-'How about picking couple OF
good barnmen over in the gap, Bull?
"What kind of a job y gOt?"
'See McAlpfn the next time you're
over at Calabasas. How about that
girl that lives with Duke?"
Bulls face lighted. "Nan! Say

"Came by Dukes less'n three hours
ago. Seen her in the kitchen maxim

'"They're looking for schoolteacher
down there, anyway. Much sickness in
the gap lately, Bull?"
sony sickness I knowed lately is
what you're responsible for y'self," re-
torted Bull with a grin. "Pity y left
any chips at all from that Calabasas
job, eh?''
"See McAlpin, Bull, next time you're
over Calabasas way. Here"-De Spain

and handed bill to Page. go get

worlds wonder of a sucker, but he
knows his friends"
''But remember this-yOu don't know
me. If anybody knows you for friend
of mine, you are no good to me. See?'
Bull was beyond expressing his COM
prehenSiOn in words alone. He winked.
nodded, and screwed his face into
thousand wrinkles. De Spain, wheel
ing, rode away, the old man blinking
first after him. and then at the money
in his hand. He didn't profess to I'M
derstanc everything in the high coun-
try, but he could still distinguish tho
principal figures at the end of bank
note. When he tramped to Calabasas
the next day to interview McA1pin he
received more advice, with a strong
burr, about keeping his own counsel,
and little expense money to run him
until an opening presented itself on
the pay roll.

CHAPTER XIV.
Strategy.

One week went to repairs. To q
man Of action such a 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 him the first moment he
could get out of bed and into a saddle
was to spur his way hard aAd 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 :;
at least to do something but not with
out further careful thinking, and not
without anticipain every chance of
failure. And his manner was to cast
up all difficulties and obstacles in
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
tlcular 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, yet none could ar
rive at certain conclusion as to what
it 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 Spain's having seen Nan or having
heard of her being seen, the conclu-
sion urged itself on him that she was
either i'll or in trouble-perhaps in
trouble for helping him; moment
The review. [volume] (High Point, N.C.) 1908-19??, 1917-03-22

later he was laying plans to get into
the gap to find out.
Nothing in the way of venture
could be more foOlhardy-this he adj
mitted to himself-nothing, he con-
soled himself by rejecting, but some
thing stronger than danger could JUS
tify it. OF all the motley Morgan fol-
lowing within the mountain fastness
he could count on but one man to help
him in the slightest degree-this was
the derelict, Bull Page. There was no
choice but to use him, and he was
easily enlisted, for the Calabasas affair
had made a heroic figure Of De Spain
in the barrooms. De Spain, according
ly, lay in wait for the old man and
intercepted him one day on che road
to Sleepy Cat, walking the twenty
miles patiently for his whisky.
"You must be the only" man IN the
gap, Bull, that can't borrow or steal
horse to ride" remarked De Spain,
stopping him near the river bridge.
Page pushed back the broken brim
of his hat and looked up. "You
wouldn't believe it," he said, impart-
ing a cheerful confidence, 'but ten
years ago had horses to lend to every
man tween here and Thief river" He
nodded toward Sleepy Cat with a
wrecked smile, and by dramatic
chance the broken hat-brim fell with
the words: They've got 'em ALL"
''Your fault, Bull"
"Say!" Up went the broken brim,
and the whiskied face lighted with

boss, standing in the doorway at the
Calabasas barns, saw 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 front of the barn
door, turned his horse loose, and, limp
ing stif1y 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.
"Theres friends of yours in your
room upstairs right now" he declared,
bullying with shock. De Spain, sitting
| down, forbade the barnman to disturb
them, on Y asking who they were.
WHEEL he had asked half a dozen
more leisurely questions and avoided
answering twice as many, the barnman
at De SPANS 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, "at 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 q window ledge, four
men sat about rickety table in life
and-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 McAlpin-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
SCOTS ear mechanically recorded the
limping step and transmitted to his
trained intelligence merely notice of
something unusual.
Scott, picking up his cards one at
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 ScOtt's body moved.
His expression of surprise slowly dis
solved into a grin that mutely invited
the others, as he had found out for
himself, to find out for themselves.
Lefever finished his deal. threw down
the pack and picked up his hand. His
suspicious eyes never rose above the
level Of the faces at the table; but
when he had thumbed his cards and
looked from one to the other of the
remaining players to read the weather
signals, he perceived on ScOtt's 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, lone ques-
ton, if you please only one: How
in thunder did you do it?''

to do. couldn't bear-after what
you did for me tonight-to think of
your being shot down like dog, when
you were only trying to get away
81 wouldn't have had you take a
ride like that for forty belts !''
"McAlpin showed it to me the last
time was at the stage barn, hanging
where you left it." He strapped the
cartridges around him.
'You should never have taken that
ride for it. But since you have"
He had drawn his revolver from his
waistband. He broke it now and held
It out. LOAD it for me, Man."

the precipice when the narrowing
ledge left him only inches under foot
clinging with torn hands to every ia
voring 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 by his effort De Spain reached
the rendezvous Nan had indicated, as
nearly as the stars would tell him, by
ten o'clock. 1t was only after long
and doubtful hour that he heard the
muffled footballs of horse. He stood
concealed among the smaller trees un-
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 enjoined silence, and led the
horse into the little grove. Stopping
we'll within it, she stopped and be-
gan rearranging the muff1ers on the
hOOfS.
I'm 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! How
could you get here at all with a horse?"
''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. "I'n
give it thought"
81 don't know what you'll think Of
me" He heard the troubled note
in her voice.
"What do you mean?"
She began to unbuttOn her jacket.
Throwing. back the revers, she felt
inside around her waist, unfastened
after moment and drew forth a leath-
ern strap. She laid it in De SPANS
hands. "This is yours" she said in q
whisper.
He felt it questioningly, hurriedly,
then with amazement. "Not a car
fridge belt !" he exclaimed.
cts your own"
''Where?' She made no answer.
"Where did you get it, Nan?" he whis-
pered hurriedly.
"Where you left it,
Glow" She was silent. "When?"
'"TOnight."
"Have you been to Calabasas and
back tonight?"
Everybody but Sassoon is in the
chase" she replied uneasily-as if not
knowing what to say, or how to say it.

traps everywhere. didn't know what
