CHAPTER VIII.
In the shoshone Desert


Excited as she was, and frightened,
the girl was still composed enough
to grasp the nature of her surround
ings, and she had time now, as the
wagon rumbled forward, to think over
all that had been said, and fit 1t into
the circumstances.
i What did they propose doing with
her? The question caused her blood
to run cold. That these people were
desperate she had every reason to be-
lleve; they were battling for big
stakes; not even murder had hitherto
stood In their way. Why then, should
they hesitate to take her life, II they
actually deemed II necessary TO the
final success of their plans2 She re-
membered what Beaton had said about
her room-the condition In which 1t
had been left. They had removed all
her things, and left note behind In
womanly handwriting TO explain her
hurried departure. There was mas

detail behind this conspiracy. He
