CHAPTER xxx.
The Truth.

The Truth.
With the desperation Of a Joy born
of despair she laid her burning cheek
Historically against his cheek. She
rained kisses on his ice-crusted brows
and snow.beaten eyes. Her arms held
him rlgidly. He could not nov o
speak till she would let him. Trans
formed, this mountain girl who gave
herself SO shyly. forgot everything. Her
words crowded on his ears. She re-
peated his name In u ecstasy OF well
come, drew down his lips, laughed, re-
ioiced, knew no shanefacedness and
no restralnt-she was one freed from
the stroke Of a descending knife. A
moment before she had faced death
alone; It was still death she faced
she reulized this--but 1t was death, at
least, together, Rnd her Joy and tears
rose from her heart in n stream.
De Spain comforted her, Quieted her,
cut away one Of the coats from his
horse. slipped it over her shoulders. In
cased her In the heavy fur, and turned
his eyes to Duke.
The old mans set, square face sur.
rendered nothing Of implacability to
the dangers confronting him. De
Spain looked for none Of that. He had
known the Morgan record too long. and
faced the Morgan men too often, to
fancy they would finch at the drum.
beat Of death.
The two men. in the deadly, driving
snow, eyed each other. Out Of the old
mans deep.set eyes burned the resist.
ance Of q hundred storms faced before.
But lie was caught now like q wolf In
u trap, and he knew he had little to
hope for, little to fear. Az De Spain
regarded him, something like pity may
have mixed with his hatred. The old
outlaw was thinly clad. His open
throat was beaten with snow, and,
standing beside the wagon, he held the
team reins in a bare hand. DE Spain
cut tho other coat from his saddle and
held 1t out. Duke pretended not to
see, and, when not longer equal to
keeping up the pretcnse, shook bis
head.
"I,ake It," said DE Spain CURLY.

CHAPTER xxvlu.
De Spain Rides AlanA.

lie had ridden the trail but q short
time when it led him in a wide angle
backward and around. toward Gala
basas, and he found, presently, that the
men he was riding after were appar-
emily heading for the stage barns. In
the north the rising curtain had dirk
ened. Toward Sleepy Cat the land
scape was already o%bliterated. In the
south the sun shone, but the air had
grown suddenly cold, and in the sharp
drop De Spain realized what was COM
ing. His first thought was Of the south
ern stages. which must be warned, and
as he galloped up to big barn, with this
thought in mind he saw, standing In
the doorway, Bull Page. .4
De Spain regarded him with aston
ishment. "How did you get herey was
his sharp question.
Page grinned. "Got what I was aft.
er, and c'm' back sooner'n I expected.
Halfway owe to the gap, l met Duke
and the young gal on horseback, head
ed for Calabasas. They pulled up. I
pulled up. Old Duke looked kind o.
ga'nted, and 1t seemed like Nan was in
a considerable hurry to get to Sleepy
Cat with him, and he couldn't stand
the saddle. Anyway, they was heading
for Calabasas to get Il rig from Meal
pin. I knowed McAlpin would never
give old Duke a rig. not II he was
a-dyin' in the saddle"
They've got your rig" cried De
Spain.
1.-THE gal asked me IL I'd mind nc

recatingly. ITO save time"
They headed north" exclaimed De
Spain. The light from the fast-chang-
ing sky fell unprecedented across his
horse and figure. McAlpin, followed BY
q hostler, appeared at the barn door.
Bull nodded to DE Spain. "Said they
wanted to get there quick. She fag'erd
on sayin' a few miles by strikin' the
hill trail in. SO I takes their horses
and lets on I was headin' for the gap.
When they got out Of sight. I turned
round"
Even as he spoke. the swift-rolling
curtain Of mist overhead blotted the
sun out Of the sky.
De Spain sprang from his saddle
with a ringing order to McAlpin. "Get
up a fresh saddks.horse
"A horse" cried the startled barn
boss, whirling on the hostler. 1.-THE
