Shelby no view ahead and soon con-
fused him in point OF direction. He
could only move forward cautiously,
fearful lest they might have halted for
some purpose, and watchful of every
trace of their passage, as other ravines
were constantly uniting with this
through which he was blindly feeling
his way. He came to sand and lost
all signs of the trail instantly, search
ing for It In vain for nearly an hour
before confesslng himself at fault.
Then, leaving the horse below, he
climbed the nearest hill for view of
his surroundings.
The sun gave him the proper dlrec-
tions, but all about stretched the same
dreary, bare ridges of rock, Offering
no guidance. There was no life wish
bic anywhere and although he waited
for some time, sweeping his glasses
back and forth he gained no glimpse
of the two he endeavored to follow.
They had vanished as though swal-
lowed up by the earth. The sun was

curiously about. He dismounted, and,
after few moments scrutiny of the
ground, decided that he was still safe
ly on the trail Of those travelling
ahead. There were two traces suffi-
GENTLY defined to indicate the passage
within a few hours of both Macklins
party, and the two others. Neither
outfit had made any effort at conceal
ment, but Shelby, fearing the latter
might be camped for breakfast, left
his horse to crop on the short grass
while he advanced on foot The trail
was obscure, but not difficult to fol-
low when once discovered. Hanley
and his companion had not ventured
the passage until dawn, the marks OF
their horses hoofs so fresh as to con-
vince their trailer they were scarcely
beyond the sound of his voice. He
even found where they had dismount-
ed, waiting for daylight. the ground
Uttered with the ends of burnt ciga-
retteS.
Shelby loitered an hour before ven
turing to follow. There was no other
way out, and so he munched at a cold
meal, and permitted the buckskin to
browse along the bank of the stream,
well concealed by fringe of willows.
Then, both horse and man refreshed,
he went forward on foot, leading the
animal, and began the upward climb
In places it was not unlike caveI
and Shelby had no idea how far ne
had gone, when he suddenly emerged
out from the gloom into the sunlight
of the summit, with a clear view
across the level plateau.
Shelby stopped, holding the horse
back below the summit and gazed anx-
iously about. The soil left no trail
and, with the naked eye, Shelby was
unable to distinguish a sign of life
within the radius Of vision. Every
thing had the appearance of death
the death Of ages. He stood upright
and swept the circle with his field
glasses. He was barely in time; for
far off there to the left, scarcely dis
cernible even then against the black,
overhanging ridges of rock, he made
out two slowly moving objects. They
were not distinct, he could not have
sworn what they were, but there was
no doubt in his mind as to their iden-
tity. He studied them eagerly until
they disappeared down a coulee, and
then carefully marked the course, his
point of guidance a high pinnacle Of
rock standing out against the sky.
He was an hour reaching this OBJ
jectlve, but once there he found the
trail plainly traced along the edge OF
the bank. 1t led in and out amid the
intricacies of the hills, taking, of nee

Automobile Dealers License Tax Taken
 Under Consideration

For an hour yesterday morning com nlttee of a dozen local automobile deal CTS were in conference with the city commissioners discussing the city license or their business which calls for a pay ment to the city of one-half of one per cent of their gross business
 The dealers maintained that sucn a taxation was too heavy as it covered expenditures not only for which they make no profit, but in some instances covers sales on articles they carry in stock for accommodation and on which they actually lose money. They asked that the commission impose the license tax on their net profits, saying they were glad to send on to the city such a tax as it was spent in things that they, too benefited from.
 Some of them made the statement that should the city enforce the license tax on their gross income 1t would take business out of Birmingham and send it tC, other cities.
