over when he passes under the arc
light. If it is Sassoon or Gale Morgan
come into Jeffries' house by the rear
door. Wait in the kitchen for my call
from the living room, or shot. I'll
arrange for your getting in.'
Leaving the telephone, De Spain re.
joined Nan in the living room. He told
her briefly of the expected visit and
explained, laughingly; that his caller
had asked to have the lights out and to
see him alone. He made so little of
the incident that Nan walked up the
stairs on De Spain's arm treasured.
When he kissed her at her room door
and turned down the stairs again, she
leaned in the half-light over the banis.

gap. I will talk with Wickwire-to
morrow"
"Good night, Mr.. de Spain"
"Good night, Pardaloe."
Bending forward, limp, in his chair,
supporting his head vacantly on his
hands, trying to think and fearing to
think, De Spain heard Pardaloe's meas
ured tread on the descending steps.
and listened mechanically to the re-
treating echoes of his footsteps down
the shaded. street. Minute after min
ute passed. De Spain made no move.
A step so light that it could only have
been the step Of delicate girlhood, a
step free as the football Of youth,
poised as the tread Of womanhood and
beauty, came down the stairs. Slight
as she was, and silent as he was, she
walked straight to him in the dark
ness, and, sinking between his feet,
wound her hands through his two
arms. II heard everything, Henry"
she murmured, looking up. An invol-
untary start Of protest was his only
response. II was afraid of a plot
against you. I stayed at the head of
the stairs. Henry, told you, long ago
some dreadful thing would come be-
tween us-something not our fault.
And now it comes to dash our cup Of
happiness when it is filing"
She stopped, hoping perhaps he
would say some little word, that he
would even pat her head, or press her
hand, but he sat like one stunned. If
it could have been anything but this II
she pleaded, low and sorrowfully. ooh,
why did you not listen to me before
we were engulfed! My dear Henry
You who've given me all the happiness
1 have ever habitat the blood Of my
own should come against you and
yours" The emotion she struggled
with, and fought back with all the
strength Of her nature, rose in a re.
sistless tide that swept her on, in the
face of his ominous silence, to despair
Her breath, no longer controlled, came
'hrokeniy, and her voice trembled.
"You have been very kind to me
Henry-you'v0 been the only man I've
ever known that always, everywhere
thought OF me first. told YOU l didn't
deserve it, wasn't worthy of it"
His hands slipped silently over her
hands. He gathered her close into his
arms, and his tears fell on her up
turned face.

Cant tell us anything about De
Spain, eh?" echoed Lefever at length.
"All right, Satt, We'll find somebody
that can. Is. there bridge over to
Dukes on this trail?"
Salts nose wrinkled into his normal
smile. "There's bridge" The re.
port of three shots fired in the distance,
seemingly from the mouth of the gap,
Interrupted him. He paused in his ut.
terance. There were no further shots,
and he resumed: "There is bridge
that way, yes, but it was Washed out
last night. They're blockaded. Duke
and Gale are over there. They're pretty
sore on your man De Spain. You'd bet.
ter keep away from 'em this morning
unless you're looking for trouble"
Lefever, having all needed informa.
ton from SCOTS signal. raised his
hand quickly. 'Not at ALL" he ex.
claimed, leaning forward to emphasize
his words and adding the full orbit OF
his eye to his sincerity of manner. "Not
at all, Satt. This is all friendly, ill
friendly. But" he coughed slightly,
as if in apology, eff Henry shouldn't
turn up o. K, we'll-ahem-be back"
None of his companions needed to be
told how to get prudently away. At a
nod from Lefever Tommie Meggeson,
Elpaso and Wickwire wheeled their
horses, rode rapidly back to the turn
near the hill and, facing about, halted,
with their rifles across their arms. Le-
fever and Kennedy followed leisurely,
and the party withdrew leaving Satter-
lee, unmoved, in the sunny doorway.
Once out of sight, Lefever led the way
rapidly down the gap to the rem
devious.
OF all the confused impressions that
crowded Mans memory after the wild
night on Music mountain, the most
vivid was that Of noticeably light
stepping and not ungraceful fat man
advancing, hat in hand, to greet her as
she stood with De Spain, weary and
bedraggled in the aspen grove.
A smile famed from her eyes when,
turning at once, he rebuked De Spain
with dignity for not introducing him
to Nan, and while De Spain made apol-
ogies Lefever introduced himself.
"And is this" murmured Nan, look
Ing at him quizzically, "really Mr.. John
Lefever whom I've heard so many
stories about?'
She was conscious of his pleasing
eyes and even teeth as he smiled again.
IF they have come from Mr.. de Spain
Il warn YOU" said John, 'take them
with all reserve"
"But they haven't all come from Mr..
de SPAIN"
IF they come from any of my
friends, discredit them in advance. You
could believe what my enemies say" he
ran on; then added ENORMOUSLY, "if
had any enemies!" To De Spain he
talked very little. It seemed to take
but few words to exchange the news.
Lefever asked gingerly about the fight.
He made no mention whatever of the
crimson pool in the road near Sas.

CHAPTER XVI.
Puppets of Fate,

Puppets Of Fate.
When Nan rode with De Spain into
Sleepy Cat that morning, Lefever had
already told their story to Jeffries over
Jeffries had thrown open her house to
receive Nan. Weary from exposure
confusion and hunger, Nan was only
too grateful for refuge.
On the evening of the second day De
Spain was invited to join the family at
supper. In the evening the Jeffrieses
went down town.
De Spain was talking with Nan in
the living room when the telephone bell
rang in the library.
De Spain took the call, and d mans
Voice answered his salutation. The

eff you will do as T ask, no harm

De Spain heard the receiver hung
up at the other end Of the wire. He
sjgnaled the operator hastily and got
hold Of Bob Scott. To him he explained
rapidly what had occurred, and what
he wanted. "Get up to Grant and Ran
cherio, Bob, as quick as the Lord will
let you. Come by the back streets.

The vein of sharpness in the uues-
ton met with no deviation from the
slow, even tone of the voice at the
other end Of the wire. II am not in
position to give you my name," came
the answer, Eat least, not over the
Wire."
A vague impression suddenly crossed
De SPANS mind that somewhere he
had heard the voice before.
"Do you supposed could come up to
where you are tonight for q few min.
utes' talk?" continued the man coolly.
"Not unless you have something very
important"
"What I have is more important to
you than to me-"
De Spain took an instant to decide.
"All right" he said impatiently; "come
along. Only" he paused to let the
word sink in, eff this is game you're
springing-"
"Im springing no game" returned
the man evenly.
"Come along, then. I'll tell you just
how to get here. Do you hear?"
"I'm listening.'
