sight, he fancied his wavering senses
deceiving him, until he put out his
hand and felt actually the substance
of what he saw. He took up a bottle
of milk incredulOusly, and slipped at it
with the caution Of a man not unused
to periods of starvation. He broke
eggs and swallowed them, at intervals,
hungrily from the shell; and meat he
cached, animal-like, in nearby cram
MES, and, manlike, in his pockets.
He was determined, if she should
come again, to intercept his visitor.
For forty-eight hours he tried cat-naps
with an occasional sandwich to keep
up his strength. Nan returned IN
seen, and disappeared despite his
watchfulness. A new supply of food
proved she had been near, but that it
would be hard to time her coming.
When she did come, the third time,
an innocent snare discovered her pres
ence. 1t was just before day, and De
Spain had so scattered small obstacles
-handfuls of gravel and little chips of
rock-that should she cross the ledge
in the dark she could hardly escape

from his retreat. When she stopped

She was gone before he had finished.
De Spain drew quickly back to where
he could secrete himself. In another
moment he heard heavy footsteps
where he had stood with his visitor
But the footsteps crossed the ledge,
md their sound died away up the
bath Nan had taken. Then snatches
# two voices began to reach him. He
:ould distinguish Mans voice and at
intervals the heavier tones of a man.
The two were descending. In a few
moments they reached the ledge, and
De Spain, near at hand, could hear
every word.
Hold on a minute" said the man
'oughly. His voice was heavy and hia
1tterance harsh.

''Hold on, l tell yOu," returned her
companion. De Spain could not see,
out he began already to feel the scene.

Nan.

"It's shameful for you to act in this

alone knew it was to keep her hui
initiation from his own ears, and he
made no effort to follow her quick,
pleading words. The moment was most

CHAPTER XIII.
Crossing a Deep River.

A grizzly bear hidden among the
naystacks back of the corral would
have given Nan much less anxiety
or the Morgan stronghold. Her
troubled speculatiOns were reduced
now almost to wondering when De
Spain would leave, and, disinclined
though she felt to further pariey, she
believed he would go the sooner if she
were to consent to see him again.
That day Nan washed her hair. On
the second day she found herself de-
Gliding conscientiously to see De Spain
for the last time, and toward sunset.
She began dressing early for her trip,
picking the best Of her limited stock
Of silk stockings, choosing the freshest
Of her few pairs of tan boots. All of
her riding skirts looked shabby as she
fretfUlly inspected them; but Bonita
pressed out the newest one for the
hurried occasion, while Nan used the
interval, with more than usual care,
on her troublesome hair-never less
tractable, it seemed, in her life.
De Spain was sitting with his back
against rock, and the look Oh his
face was one of reflection and irreso-
luton rather than Of action and de-
cisiOn. But he looked so restored after
his brief period of nourishment that
Nan, when she stepped up on the ledge
at sunset, would not have known the
wreck she had seen in the same place
the week before.
His heart jumped at the sight Of
her young face, and her clear, coura-
geous eyes surveyed him questioning

Concerning Gale, Nan was noncom-
mitta1. But she listened with interest,
more or less yelled, to whatever run
ming comment McAlpin had to offer
concerning the Calabasas fight. 'And
I was sorry to see Gale mixed up in it,"
he concluded, in his effort to draw Nan
out, 'sorry. And sorrier to think of
Henry de Spain getting killed that
way. Some say" he suggested, look

the barn, and significantly away again,
that Henry went down there to pick

graphically, Il happen to know that
wasn't so.''
"Then what did he go down there
for?" demanded Nan Indignantly, but
not warily.
McAlpin, the situation now in hand,
took his time to it. He leaned forward

Nan flushed with vexation. "Per-

De Spain, convicted, finally laid his
fingers over the butt of his empty re-
volver. How did you find that out?"
She tossed her head. They were
standing only a few feet apart, De
Spain supporting himself now with
his left hand high up against the wall;
Nan, with her shoulder lightly against
it; both had become quizzicaI. "Other
people forget, too, then" was all she
said

"Take it,"
He was persistent. She allowed
him to drop the loaded shell into her
hand. ''Now," he continued, replacing
his gun, 'if l encounter any of your

will know, when you hear the story,

The two, looking at each other,
trained their ears to hear more

Someone is coming" said De Spain.
Nan ran lightly to where she could
peep over the ledge. Hardly pausing
as sne glanced down, she stepped
quickly back. 'TlI go right on up the

He halted on the implied question.
Nan took ample time to reply
do you mean to tell me you don't
know where you are?' she asked, and
there was a touch of vexed incredulity
i'll her tone.
De Spain seemed unmoved by her
skepticism. Il can't tell you anything

CHAPTER XII.
Nan Drifts.

Without going in to speak to Gale,
whom Bull Page, his nurse, reported
very cross but not hurt much, Nan
left her packet for him 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 a resolve seized her to go up again
to his hiding place and see what she
could see or hear-possibly, if one
were on foot, she could uncover a 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
a three-Quarter moon well up in the
sky. She took her way rapidly along
the trail to the mountain, keeping as
ouch as possible within the great
shadows cast by the towering peaks.
Breathing stealthily and keyed to a
tense feeling of uncertainty and sus-
picion, Nan at length reached without
adventure the corner OF the ledge
where she had first seen De Spain,
and there. lying fat, listened.

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 i'm
penetrable darkness. Hardly daring
to breathe, she crept and felt her way
over it with her hands, discovering
nothing until size had almost reached
De SPANS retreat at the farther side.
Then her heart stopped in an agony
of fear-underneath 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 mutterings
were too constant and too disconnect-
edit dawned on Nan that this must
be delirium. She could hear 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 babbling in 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 unaided, and
there were unpleasant possibilities, if
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 a 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 I'D in
her mind as she walked home. She
had already decided, but without
realizing it, what to do, and was will
ing TO assume that her mind was still
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.
But when he opened his eyes later,
and with a clearer head, he found food
and drink near. Unable to believe his

painlessly-yet he shranB from that
anticipated crash.
His thoughts, working in flashes of
lightning, suggested every possible
trick of escape, and as rapidly rel. ed
each. There was nothing for it but
to play the part, to take the blow with
no more than culver when it came.
He had once seen a man shot in Just
that way. Braced to such a determine
ton, De Spain bent slowly downward,
and, with eyes staring into the water
for a reflection that might afford q
glimpse of his enemy, he began to
drink. Each mOuthfuI of water was a
struggle. The sense of impending death
