CHAPTER VllI--continued.

A man staggered drunkenly into
view. He reeled halfway across the
mouth of the draw and stopped. His
eyes, Questing DULY, fell upon the
camp. He stared, as if doubtful
whether they had played him false,
then lurched toward the waiting group.
Lost and all in" Holway said in a
whisper to bud.
The other man nodded. Neither OF
them made move toward the
stranger, who stopped in front of their
camp and looked with glazed eyes
from one to another. His face was
drawn and haggard and lined. Elk
IRENE exhaustion showed in every
movement. He babbled incoherently'
Don't you see he's starving and out

The old man rose and moved toward
the suffering man. "Come, pard. Tha's

the man to place beside Big Bill
and made him sit down. "Better light

The famished man ate what was
given him and clamored for more.

CHAPTER TX.
The Rah-Rah Boy Functions.


Big Bill grumbled a good deal at the
addition to the party. 1t would be de-
cidedly awkward il this stranger
| should become rational and UNDER
stand the status Of the camp he had
| joined. The word of old Holt alone
might be negligible, but supported by
that of disinterested party it would
be very different matter. Still, there
was no help for it. They would have
to take care of the man until he was
able to travel. At the worst, Big Bill
could give him a letter to Selfridge
explaining things and so pass the buck
| to that gentleman.
Gid Holt had, with the tacit consent
of his guards, appointed himself as
sort of nurse to the stranger. Early
in the evening the sick man fell into
a sound sleep, from which he did not
awake until morning. George was
away looking after the packhorses
bud was cooking breakfast, and Big
Bill, his rife close at hand, was chop
ping young frs fifty feet back of the
camp. The cook also had a gun, load
ed with buckshot, lying on box be-
side him, so that they were taking no
chances with their prisoner.
The old miner turned from rearrang-
ing the bougLs of green fir on the
smudge to see that his patient was
awake and his mind normal. The
quiet, steady eyes resting upon him
told him that the delirium had passed.
"Pretty nearly all in, wasn't II" the
young man said.
The answer of Gid Holt was an odd
one. ''Yep. Seven-eleven-fifte
Take 'er easy, old man." he said in his
shrill, high voice as he moved toward
the man in the blankets. Then, in O.
low tone, while he pretended to ar
range the bedding over the stranger,
he asked quick question.
care you Elliott"
"Yes."
Don't tell them. Talk football
lingo as If you was still out Of your
haid." Holt turned and called to bud.
"Says he wants some breakfast"
"On the way" the cook answered.
Holt seemed to be soothing the de-
lirious man. What he really said was
this. "Selfridge has arranged a plant
for you at Kamatlah. The camp has
been turned inside out to fool you.
They've brought me here a prisoner
so as to keep me from telling you the
truth. psf! Tune up now"
Big Bill had put down his ak and
was approaching. He was not ex-
actly suspicious, but he did not be-
lieve in taking unnecessary chances.
II tell you I'm out of training.
Played the last game, haven't wei
Come through with square meal, you
four-husher," demanded Elliot in a
querulous voice. He turned to Macy.
Look here, Cap. Haven't I played
the game all fall? Don't get what I
want now we're through"
The voice of the young man was ex-
cited. His eyes had lost their quiet
steadlness and roved restlessly to and
fro. If Big Bin had held any doubts
one glance dissipated them.
i "Sure you do. Hustle over and help
bud with the breakfast, Holt Ill look
out for our friend"
Elliot and Holt found no more
chance to talk together that morning.

that he was away. Seems to me
heard he went prospecting"
"He did. Up Wild Goose creek,
with Big Bill Macy and two other men.
Bus / asked him to come back with
me-and he did"
Feebly Wally CROPPED for the clue
without finding it. Had Big Bill sold
him out? And how had Elliot got into
touch with him?
"Just so, Mr. Elliot. But really. you
know, Rowland can make you great
deal more comfortable than Holt. His
wife is famous cook. I'll have

Selfridge. Except for your help I
would have died in the hills"
This was another facer for Wally.
What the devil did the fellow meanf
The deuce of it was that he knew all
the facts and Wally did not. One
thing stood out to Selfridge like sore
thumb. Els plans had come tumbling
down like a house of cards. Either

he had played traitor. In either case
Wally could guess pretty shrewdly
whose hide Macdonald would tan for
the failure. The chief wanted results.
He did not ask of his subordinates how
they got them. And this was the Sec
ond time in succession that Selfridge
had come to grief.

Gideon Hollis sly brain moved keen
ly to the possibility that he could put

had picked up. He began to see it
as more than a possibility, as even a
probability, at least as a fifty-ffty
chance. A sardonic grin lowered about

Macy took the first watch that
night. He turned in at two after he
had reused bud to take his place. The
cook had been on duty about an hour
when Elliot kicked Holt, who was
! sleeping beside him, to make sure that
he was ready. The old man answered
the kick with another.
Presently Gordon got up, yawned
and strolled toward the edge Of the
camp.
"Don't go and get lost, young fell
