for the night"
AS the fellow disappeared Shelby's
eyes encountered those Of his wife
across the table.
"And what are you going to do?
she asked directly.
"Why, help you with these things,
and then clean the shack up a bit; it
is in worse shape than I realized"
She shook her head positively.
"Oh, no. mister man. This is my
house, and am going to take care Of
it-all alone. I have seen your style
of housekeeping, and I prefer my own.
You go on, and finish the work out

Shelby went out. Macklin was seem
ingly busy at the task assigned him,
the lantern hung to the broken branch
of a convenient tree, lighting his path.
Without even speaking, the ranchman
passed by down the steep path leading
toward the stream below. He was
some time in completing his task, and,
when he finally emerged once more
from the stable. the only CLEAN of
light he could perceive above came
through the log chinks Of the cabin.
He wondered what had become of
Macklin, vet gave the matter no spe-
cial thought as he toiled slowly up the
path, his mind more deeply interested
in the reception awaiting him within.
He passed close enough to the buck
board to assure himself that his or
ders had been executed, and, believ-
ing the fellow had probably re-entered
the house for some purpose, passed on
directly to the front door. No one
was in the main room, nor in the
chamber behind. They remained ex-
actly as he had left them. The silence
startled him, and he advanced swiftly
toward the kitchen, where the light
still burned, visible through the open
door. 1t also was deserted, the dirty
dishes yet setting on the table I'M

meaning of this? What had occurred?

DRY came back, and he managed to lift
one hand to his head, his numb fin

the clothed blood mating his hair. He
had been struck a desperate blow, and
was doubtless left lying there in the
belief that he was dead, yet apparent
ly the skull was not crushed, and the
night air had CONCEALED the blood.
With a supreme effort he drew him
self into a sitting posture. and stared
rather blankly about at the objects re-
vealed in the gray dawn.
The sight as instantly restored his
memory; the cabin door stood wide
open, just as he left it, and within the
lamp still burned on the table. in the
midst of the dirtied dishes. She had
not returned, then; he had been lying
there alone all night. The realization
maddened him to effort, and, by grasp

had occurred he could not determine;
the whole affair seemed more like a
dream than a reality. He had left her
there apparently cheerful and happy,
the laughter in her eyes a memory to
linger with him; he had not been alb
sent to exceed thirty minutes, and not
SO far away but what any cry would
surely have reached his ears. Yet
when he returned she had vanished
utterly, leaving everything untouched.
Whatever occurred must have been
brought to- pass almost Immediately
upon his departure, before she even
began the work of cleaning up. But
how could such a thing happen with
out any alarm? Why. the Kid was
working within ten feet of the house,
and must have heard the slightest
sound OF a struggle. The Kid! where
was he anyway? What had become Of

He flung open the unsecured door,
and stepped into the dense blackness
OF the interior. She could see moth

and finally caught the tiny CLEAN of
a match. The next instant this had
become the flame of an oil lamp. and
the whole interior of the room be-
came revealed in the yellow flicker.
In spite of every attempt to steady
herself, her heart gave a sudden thrOb,
and she clutched at the door for sup

had pictured.

satisfied with her readiness to ABIDE
the situation, she bowed her head on
the dirty table, and her body shook
with sobs which could no longer be

A Blow of Treachery.

A Blow of Treachery.
It was a desolate homecoming
the great stars overhead, the tinkle
of distant water, the silence and black
mes all about, and the, dim outline
of the cabin barely visible amid the
surrounding trees. The girl held her
breath with lips pressed tight, staring
around into the vague shadows and
permitted Shelby to gently swing her
between the wheels to the ground.
Some way the strong grasp of his
hands brought back to her a sense
Of courage.
'Is-is there no one here?" she
asked, afraid to venture a step in the
gloom. 1T is terribly dark"
"Tll remedy that in a minute" he
said, pretending a cheerfulness he was
far from feeling. "Hey there. Kid.

would be others also engaged in the
affair. The opposite shore was de-
serted, and he crossed over, wading to
his thighs in the swift water, with
rife flung forward, and eyes intently
searching the further bank. The trail
was plain at this point; he could
easily rae the steps Of both men
passing up a narrow gully into the
first line Of bluffs, and there, in a lit
tie open glade. he found where horses
had been tethered and tramped the
turf. They had evidently been held
for some time; had entered from the
north down a slight coulee, and de-
parted westward along a shelving
hank. There were five animals, all
press of hoOfs, and he followed their
passage as far as the crest of the
bluff. They were we'll beyond view, of
course by this time, across that rough,
broken country, but he satisfied him
self that they were heading straight
for the Bad Lands.
Shelby knew now something of what
he must contend with. The act Of alb
duction, and attempted murder, was
no suslden temptation assailing Mack
lin, but undoubtedly part of a well-or-
gained plot. Whatever their object.
five men were concerned in the out
rage, their intention probably the
making of the girl a prisoner. In
Shelby's judgment she was probably
in no immediate danger. If the fell
lows had intended taking her life, she
would never have thus been spared
and carried away, apparently unin-
jured. Their purpose evidently re-

helpless in their hands.
He was cool now: grimly deter
mined. but intent on preparing him
self for a long and dangerous quest.
He was to be one man pitted against
five. and every instinct of long ex-
perience IN the plains. warned him
against being rash. He recrossed the
stream, built a fire in the stove. and,
after washing the blood from his
head. ate heartily, then packed a
leather haversack with food. and was
ready. He took this time in which to
plan out his course. and then went for
ward unhesitatingly. filling his pockets
with rifle cartridges, and tlinging the
baversack over his shoulder. before
starting for the corral. He decided
upon the buckskin as being the better
animal for his purpose-a vicious
brute, harder to handle, but t~ireless,
ana able to exist wnere eltner OF the
others would starve. 1t required a
good half-hour to rope and saddle the
beast, but he had plenty of time. Once
on the trail he could easily outride the
party he was following, and he had no
desire to approach them closely until
well after dark.
Once firm in the saddle, however,
rifle under the flap, with haversack
strapped on the opposite side, and
%blanket-roll behind, he gave the plung-
ing, bucking demon between his legs
little mercy. The man was in no mood
for play of any sort. and set himself
to conquering the brute in the quick
est possible way. 1t was q rough, hard
struggle, but the human won, and, IN

nostrils %distended, and eyes vicious as
ever, yielded final obedience to the
rein.
