down the gap closely ahead Of De
Spain and neither to speak nor turn
his head no matter what happened
right or left.
In the growing light the two men
trotted smartly mile down the trail
without encountering a sign of life.
When they approached the Morgan
ranch-house De Spain rode close to
his prisoner, told him what would
happen if he made a noise, and even
held him back in his pace as they
trotted together past the gap strong
hold. When they left the house behind
and the turn in the road put them out
of range Of it's windows, he closed up
the distance between himself and Sas-
soon, riding close in to his side, and
looked back for fraction of second.
When he looked ahead again he saw
confronting him, not a hundred yards
away, motionless horseman.

Scott. Duke and Gale have got the
best horses in the mountains, and
they'd rather fight than eat. There
they come now"
Dashing ACROSS a plain they them
selves had just crossed, they could see
three horsemen in hot chase. The pur-
sued men rode carefully, and, scanning
the ground everywhere ahead, felt as

De Spain stopped halfway through
his sentence. The figure revealed in
the half-light puzzled him at first. Then
it confused and startled him. He saw
it was not man at all, but a woman
and q woman than whom he would
rather have seen six men. 1t was Nan
Morgan.
With her head never more decisiveIy
set under her mannish hat, her waist
never more attractively outlined in
slenderness, she silently faced De
Spain in the morning gray. His face
reflected his chagrined perplexity. He
could already see Mans eyes. They
were bent keenly first on him, then on
his companion, and again on him. De
Spain kept his face down as much as
he dared, and his hat had been pulled
well over it from the beginning.
They were now almost abreast. The
very instructive knowledge that her
eyes were bent on his made him steal
glance at her in spite of himself. The
next instant he was shamefacedly
touching his hat. Though nothing
was lost on her, Nan professed not to
see the greeting. When she spoke her
tone was dry with suspicion.
"Wait a moment, Sassoon. Where
are you going?" she demanded. Sas
soon hitched with one hand at his
trousers band. He inclined his head
sulkily toward his companion. "Start

CHAPTER vi.
Maintaining a Reputation.


The abduction of SassOOn, which sig
nalized De SPANS entry into the stage
line management, created a sensation
akin to the exploding of bomb under
the range. The whole mountain coun-
try, which concentrates, sensibly, on
but one topic at time, talked for a
week of nothing else.
Experienced men in the high country
men Of that class who, wherever
found, are old in the ways of the world,
and not promptly moved by new or
youthful Observation-Disclosures the in
cident after hearing the details, with
the comment or the conclusion that
there would hardly be for De Spain
more than one additional chapter to
the story, and that this would be a
short one. The most active MorganS-
Gale, Duke and the easy-going Satter-
lee-were indeed wrought to the keen
est pitch of revengeful anger. 1t was
an overwhelming insolent INVASION
and worst of all, a successful invasion,
by one who had nothing but cool impu-
dence, not even a budding reputation
to justify his assault on the lifelong
prestige Of the gap clan.
De Spain himself, somewhat sur
prised at the storm he had kicked up,
needed the counsel of Scott, and while
the acute stage of the resentment
ragged along the trail he ran down for
few days to Medicine Bend to buy
horses. Both Gale and Duke Morgan
proclaimed, in certain public places in
Sleepy Cat, their intention of shooting
De Spain on sight; and as a climax to
oil the excitement Of the week follow
ing his capture, the slippery Sassoon
broke Jail and after brief interval,
appeared at large in Calabasas.
This feat of the Morgan satellite
made loud laugh at De SPANS ex-
pense. 1t mitigated somewhat the hui
initiation Of Sassoon's friends, but it
in no wise diminished their expressed
resolve to punish De SPANS invasion.
Lefever, who as the mixer among the
stage men, kept close to the drift of
public sentiment, decided after De
SPANS return to Sleepy Cat that the
stage-line authorities had gained Moth
ing by Sassoon's capture.
"We ought to have thought of it be-
fore, Henry" he said frankly one night
in Jeffries' Office, "but we didn't think"
Meaning just what, John?" de-
manded De Spain without real inter-
est.

CHAPTER lV-Continued.

Scott was the first to reach the trees.
The little grove spreads across slope
half mile wide between the base of
one towering cliff, still bearing it's
Spanish name FL Captain, and the
gorge of the PurgatOire. To the east
of this point the trails to Calabasas
and to Sleepy Cat divide, and here
Scott and Lefever received De Spain,
who had ridden slowly and followed
SCOTS iniunctions to keep the red
star to the right of-El Captain all the
way across the sinks.
Securing their horses, the three
stretched out on the open ground to

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN LAND
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming SettIers-knxious to
Get Cheap and ProduC-
tive Land.

Reports are to hand that there viii
he large influx Of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For time
there has been falling off, on account
of the fear of conscription, which of
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
ton. In any case it would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are az war,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices Sc
cured is having its influence ON those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent aut from
time to time that tbs farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out Of one crop has reached
the ears of the man looking for farm.
When he hears that G. Fl. Beatty Of
Nanton, Alberta, had $40 bushels of
wheat from u acres or an average Of
56R bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that Sid
ney f. Phillips of Beddeford, Alberta,
threShed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels of wheat the average being
521@ bushels per acre, his interest is
further aroused. ThOs. Long of Leth-
hTin un hoI hnS Of tC IN hn
acre from field of % acres, w.
Quinn of Milk River had 6094 bushels
of wheat from 100 acres, an average
Of go bushels per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry of Nobleford makes afTida-
Wit that he had an average of seventy
six bushels of wheat per acre from a
field of 1868 acres. ThOs. BOultOn of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had yield of tffty-three
bushels of wheat per acre. Newell !.
Mobiles affidavit of getting "A bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence of what the
wheat grower can do This affidavit is
| strengthened by a paragraph stating
that he had 100 bushels and 30 lbs. per
acre from 39469 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
at NOblefOrd she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels Of
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or fifty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from flax field
| (stubble feld) she got 20 bushels and
3S pounds per acre.
1t cannot be said that these were.
freak yields because so many had such
great success. When these reports are
read, the man looking for farm be-
comes convinced.
These are only few Of the reasons
that will cause a large influx of Amer
lean farmers into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident in Mani
toba Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
are low and Free homestead land can
be had in many districts and the home

Scott Was the First to Reach the Trees.

wait for daylight. De Spain medi-
tated first on how he should capture
Sassoon at daybreak, and then on Nan
Morgan and her mountain home into
which he was about to break to drag
out criminal. SaSSOOn and his malice
soon drifted out of his mind, but Nan
remained. Her form outlined in the
mists that rose from the hidden creek
seemed to hover somewhere near I'M
til SCOTS hand laid on the dreamer's
shoulder drove it suddenly away. Day
was at hand.
De Spain got up and shook off the
chilliness and drowsiness of the night.
1t had been agreed that he, being less
known in the gap than either of his
companions, could best attempt the diff
ficult capture. Bob Scott, who knew
the recess well, repeated his explicit
directions as to how De Spain was to
reach SassOon's shack. He repeated
his description of its interior, told him
where the bed stood, and even where
Sassoon ordinarily kept his knife and
his revolver.
De Spain gave his horse his head
1t was still too dark to distinguish the
path--and advanced at a snail's pace
until he passed the base of Eel Captain,
when of a sudden, as he rode out from
among high projecting rocks full into
the opening, faint rays of light from
cfarr dawn yaoIoI tho parrnyu
strangely inclOsed and perfectly hid
den valley before him.
De Spain caught his breath. No de-
scriptiOn he had ever heard of the
nook that screened the MOrgans from
the outside world had prepared him
for what he saw. From side to side
between the frOwning cliffs which rose
at points, half q mile into the sky, II
was several miles, and the gap was
more than as much in depth, as it ran
back to mere wedge between I'm.
named Superstition peaks.
Every moment that he pushed ahead
warned him that daylight would come
suddenly and his time to act would be
short. The trail he followed broad
ened into a road, and turn brought
him up startled and almost face tC
face with a long, rambling ranch
house. The gable end of the two-story
portion of the building was so Close
to him that he instantly refined up t
seek hiding from Its upper and lowe
windows.
From Scotts accurate description h,
knew the place. This was Duke Nor
gan's iunch-house, set as fortress al
most at the mouth of the gap. To pas
II unobserved was to compass the mos

the resolute summons stopped. De
Spain could do no less; both men,
hating, faced their suspicious inquisi-
tor. She scrutlnized De Spain keenly.
"What is this man doing in the gapT'
"He came up from Thief river last
night" answered SassOon monoton-
ously.
"What is he doing here with your
persisted Nan.
Hes cousin of John Rebstock's
from Williams Cache" continued Sas-
soon. The yarn would have sounded
decently well in the circumstances for
which 1t was intended, but in the
searching gaze Of the eyes now con-
fronting and clearly recognizing him,
1t sounded so grotesque that De Spain
would fully as lief have been sitting
between his horses legs as astride his
back.

q AsCARETS" FOR
SLUGGISH BOWELS
No sick headache, sour stomach.
biIiousness or constipation
by morning.
let q 1O-cent box now.


Turn the rascals out-the headache,
biliousness, Indigestion, the sick, sour
stomach and foul gases-turn them
out tonight and keep them out with
Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by a lazy
liver, clogged bowels or an upset stom-
ach.
Don't put in another day of distress
Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach
remove the sour fermenting food;
take the excess bile from your liver
and carry out all the cOnstipated
waste matter and poison in the
bowels. Then you will feel great.
A Cascaret tonight straightens you
out by morning. They work while
you sleep. A 10-cent box from
any drug store means clear head,
sweet stomach and clean. healthy liver
and bowel action for months. Chill
dren love Cascarets because they
never grippe or sicken. ADV.

sured of their escape. Though their
pursuers rode in at times with show
of rushing, the chase was a stern one,
and could be checked whenever neces-
sary. Hating at times to breathe their
horses, De Spain with his two COM
panions and their prisoner rode into
Sleepy Cat, locked SassoOn up, and
went to the Mountain house for break
fast.
