CHAPTER Ill.
The Spanish Sinks.

In two, extended groups, Separated
by a narrow but well-defined break, a
magnificent rampant, named by Span
iards the Superstition mountains,
stretches beyond the horizon to the
south, along the vast depression known
as the Spanish sinks. The break on
the eastern side of the chain comes
about twenty miles southwest Of
Sleepy Cat, and is marked on the
north by the most striking, and in
some respects most majestic peak in
the range-Music mountain; the break
itself has taken the name of its earliest
white settlers, and is called Morgan's
gap. No railroad has ever yet pene-
trated this southern country, despite
the fact that rich mines have been
opened along these mountains, and are
still being opened; but it lies today in
much of the condition of primitive saw
agery, and lawlessness, as the word is
conventionally accepted, that obtained
when the first rush was made for the
Thief River gold fields.

CHAPTER II-De Spain sees Nan dane

gan and her dancing partner. Gales
face lighted as he set eyes on De Spain,
and he spoke quickly to Nan: There's
your handsome Medicine Bend gun
man.
Nan, glancing toward De Spain,
seemed aware that he heard. She
looked away De Spain tightened up
with rage. The blood rushed to his
face, the sarcasm struck in. If the
birthmark could have deepened with
humiliation it would have done so at
the instant of the cold inspection of
the girls pretty eyes. Gale calling
ahead to the others, invited their at
tentiOn to the man on the street cor
ner. De Spain only stood still, re-
turning their inspection as insolently
as silence could. Each face was faith
fully photographed and filed in his
memory, and his steady gaze followed
them until they rode down the hill and
clattered jauntily out on the swaying
suspension bridge that still crosses the
Rat river at Grant street, and con-
meets the whole south country-the
Spanish sinks, the Thief River gold
fields, the saw-toOthed Superstition
range, Morgan's gap, and Music noun
tain with Sleepy Cat and the railroad.
De Spain, walking down Grant
street, watched the party disappear
among the hills across the river. The
encounter had stirred him. He already
hated the MorganS, at least all except
the blue-eyed girl, and she, it was not
difficult to divine from her expression,
was, at least, disdalnful of her morn
ing rival.
Reaching the station platform while
still busy with his thoughts, De Spain
encountered Jeffries and Lefever.
"Jeffries, TIL take that Thief River
stage job" announced De Spain bluntly.
''What's the reason that fellow
changed his mind?" demanded Jeffries,
when Lefever joined him later in his
office.
Don't ask me-" frowned Lefever
perplexed. 'rDon't ask me. Henry is
odd In some ways. You can't tell
whats going on inside that fellows
head by looking at the outside of it,"
Jeffries grunted coldly at this bit of
wisdom. "Tll tell you what I should
Ithink-if had to think Henry de
Spain has never found out rightly who
was responsible for the death of his
father. He expects to do 1t, some
time; and long ago some of these same
Morgans lived on the Peace river above
his fathers ranch"
