This was, to say the least, a further
awkward complication for her feelings.
She already had enough TO confuse

graphically, Il happen TO know thai

''Then what did he go down there
for?" demanded Nan Indignantly, bu
not warily.
McAlpin, the situation now in hand

In manner calculated to invite conf

Nan seemed Indifferent. "Girls are
not supposed to keep secrets" she said
obstinately.
Her narrator was not to be baked
He pointed to the coat-rack on the
wall In front of them both. There is
Henry de Spains coat. He hung 1t
there just before he went down to the
inn. Under 1t, If you look, you'll find
his belt OF cartridges. Don't take my
word-loOk for YOURSELF
Giving this information time to sink
in, McAlpin continued. Mans eyes had
turned, despite her Indifference, to the
coat; but she was thinking more In

asserted hung under IT, you want to

A great many London people have
followed the example Of Sir Samuel
Evans, and are planting turnips in
their window boxes instead OF spring
towers, or, If not turnips, then some
other useful vegetable. Those who
won't forego their flowers are planting
carrots in white sand In large boxes
in their cellars or unused rooms, and
mustard, cress, parsley, and other
herbs, are being grown in kitchen win
dows or in sheltered places in the

CHAPTER XII.
Nan prlfts.

Without going in to speak to Gale,
whom Bull Page. his nurse. reported
very cross but not hurt much. Nan
left her packet for E:.m and rode
home. Her Uncle Duke was in town.
She had the house to herself. with
only Bonita, the old Mexican serving
woman, and Nan ate her late supper
alone.
The longer she pondered on De
Spain and his dilemma--and her own
the more she worried When she
went to bed, upstairs in her little
gable room, she tossed on her pillow
till resolve seized her to so up again
to his hiding place and see what she
could see OF hear-pnsslhIy, If one
were on foot. she could uncover plot.
She dressed resolutely. buckled on
a holster to her side, and slipping a
revolver-a new one that Gale had
given her-intO it for protection. she
walked softly downstairs and out of
doors. The night air was clear, with
three-quarter moon well up in the
sky. She took her way rapidly along
the trail TO the mountain keeping as
much as possible within the great
shadows cast by the towering peaks.
Breathing stealthily and keyed to q
tense feeling of uncertainty and sus-
picion, Nan at length reached without
adventure the corner of the ledge
where she mad first seen De Spain,
| and there, lying fiat. listened.
Hearing only the music of the little
cascade, she swept the ledge as well
as she could with her eyes, but it was
now so far in shadow as to lie in inn
penetrable darkness. Hardly daring
to breathe, she crept and felt her way
over it with her hands, discovering
nothing until she had almost reached
De SPANS retreat at the farther side.
Then her heart stopped In an agony
Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT the Overhanging
wall she heard voices. De Spain had
confederates. then, and had tricked
her, after all.
But a moment later this explanation
failed to satisfy her. The mutterlngs
were too constant and too disc0nnect-
edit dawned on Nan that this must
be delirium. She could lear De Spain
throwing himself from side TO side,
and the near and far sounds. as If of
two voices, were explained. She crept
nearer.
He was babbllng 10 the chill dark
ness about ammunition, urging men
to make haste, warning them of some
one coming. Nan listened to his raw
ings, overcome by the revelation of
his condition. She told herself he must
die If he remained longer unalded, and
there were unpleasant possibilities, IL
he died where he lay. She did not want
TO pity or TO help him, she convinced
herself; but she did not want his death
laid to Morgan plot-for none Of his
friends would ever believe De Spain
had found his way alive and alone
to where he lay.
All Of this Nan was casting up In
her mind as she walked home. She
had already decided, but without
realizing it, what to do, and was will.

open.
Toward daylight of the morning, De
Spain dreamed he was not alone--that
a figure moved silently in the faintness
Of the dawn-a figure he struggled to
believe reality, but one that tricked
his wandering senses and left him, at
the coming Of another day, weaker,
with failing courage. and alone.

Farley.

She stood beside the rock from
which the ledge was reached from be-
low, and as If she had Just stepped up
into sight. Her rifle was so held in
both hands that 1t could be fred from
her hip, and at such close quarters
with deadly accuracy. AS she stood
with startled eyes fixed on his bag
gard face, her slender neck and poised
head We're very familiar to De Spain.
And her expression, while it reflect
ed her Mortified alarm, did not conceal
her anger and aversion at the sight Of
him. Unaware of the forbidding spec
tacle he presented, De Spain, swept by
0rainstorm at the appearance of this
Morgan-the only one of all the Nor
gans he had not fancied covering him
ana waiting to deliver his death war
rant-felt fury sweep over him at
the wild thought that she meant to kill
him.
Whatever she meant to do, he could
no more fire at this girl, even had he
a chance-and he realized he was at
her mercy-than he could at his sister
and he lay with his eyes bent on hers,
trying to read her purpose. He read
in her face only adherence and con-
demnation, and felt in no way moved
to argue her verdict. 81 suppose" he
said. at length, not trying to disguise
his bitter resentment of her presence,
you've come to finish me-"
His shirt stained and tattered for
bandages, his hair matted in blood On
his forehead, his eyes inf1amed and
sunken, his lips crusted and swollen,
the birthmark fastened wildly on his
cheek, made him desperate sight. Re
garding him steadily, Nan, as bewil-
dered as IL she had suddenly come on
great wounded beast of prey still
dangerous, made no response to his
words. The two stared at each other
defiantly and for another moment in
silence. ''If you are going to kill me-"
he continued, looking into her eyes
without any thought of appeal, "do 1t
quick"
Something In his long, unyielding
gaze impelled her to break the spell
of it. what are you doing here?"
she demanded with anger, curling her
voice to control her excitement as best
she could.
De Spain, stlll looking at her, an
swered only after a pause. Hiding"
he said harshly.
Hiding to kill other menp Mans
accusation as she clutched her rifle
was almost explosive.
He regarded her coolly, and with the
interval he had had for thinking, his
wits were clearing. DO 1 look like

added. since she made no answer, 'Iike
man hunting for a quiet spot to die
in?"
Il know you are a murderer"
In spite Of his weakness he flushed.
"Nt," he exclaimed sharply. I'm not
a murderer. If you think it"-he point
ed contemptuously to her side-"you

"You came here to hide to kill some
body" she exclaimed.
