He must have received my first mes

leave New York and determined to
take the first train west. His quarrel
with John, coupled with his disgust
of the company he kept, caused him
to draw up this will hurriedly. He
left the club intending to pack up and

Possibly; but if the dead man had

and departed without a word to any

hastily, on the spur of the moment"

while she directed his gaze with her
free hand. 'Iook" she cried "The

"Good!" Westcott exclaimed. "I'm

for definite purpose which must soon

may be little rock-worn and little

the whereabouts of Fred Cavendish."
The girl looked straight into his
honest, clear eyes. His remark
opened vast field for speculation.
"YOu think hc is alive, then?" she said
earnestly. "It is an interesting hy-
pothesis. Perhaps-perhaps he may
be in this neighbOrhood, even. And
that" she added, her Irish eyes alight
"would be more interesting still.'

Well, that might be the answer.
Beaton has been in this neigKborhood
ever since about the time of that muir

what his business is, but he is hand
in-glove with Bill Lacy and his gang.
Lacy, besides running a saloon, pre-
tends to be a mining speculator, but
it is my opinion there is nothing he
wouldn't do for money, if he consid-
cred the game safe. And now, with
everything quiet in the East, and no
thought that there is any suspicion re-
naming, Beaton sends for the woman
to join him here. Why? Because
there is some job to be done too big
for him to tackle alone. He's merely

is a problem out here requiring a lit

how to dispose of Cavendish until they
can get away safely with the swag."

'It must have originated in some cum

thoughtfully. "NOt Beaton's, surely;
and while she is probably much
brighter, l am inclined to think the
girl is merely acting under orders.
There is somebody connected with
