played on her expressions as though
she were a harp.

looked young and wistful in her soft

her. She fell into a delicious furry OF
nerves and excitement. Later, she
wandered with him from a rude gaping
world into q heaven of silvered decks
and cleaning waters. He told her OF

young engineers followed him.

It involved Toms life. It was his life.

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Discovery.

The murder of Maldonado shook the
camp next morning. Three rurales, in
brilliant trappings, rode up to Rick
ards ramada. The leader, entering
the office, announced that they were
on the track of a criminal, the MUIR
derer of a rurale, Maldonado. He was
an Indian named Felipe. He repeated
the story Richard had heard before.
Would the senior give his respected
permission for notices to be posted
about the camp? A description of the
Indian, reward for his capture; the
favor would be inestimable.
Rickasd saw the notice later That
day. 1t was nailed to the back plat
