what else to do, she tore strip from

her head closer. The wounded man
had lost consciousness.

CHAPTER XIII.
A Needle In a Haystack.

The little marshal of Haskell had
the reputation of being as quick of wit
as OF trigger finger. Startled as he was
by that sudden apparition appearing
before them In the dark road, and at
being addressed by a woman's voice.
the mention Of the name Cassidy gave
him an instant clue. There was but
one Cassidy in camp. and that indi-
vidual's reputation was scarcely of a
kind to recommend him In the eyes Of
the law. If any woman sought that
fellow in this out-of-the-way spot, 1t
was surely for no good purpose. Bren-
nan leaned forward over his saddle
horn, lowering his voice confidentlally.
and managing to achieve highly
meritorious brogue.
"Sure, Dim Cassidy" he admitted
grouchily. "How liver come yer ter
guess thot?"
"You were expecting to meet Mr..
Enright, weren't you? That was what
Bill Lacy told you. He was to ex-
plain to you Just what you were TO
do"
Brennan mumbled something indis-
tinctly, now thoroughly aroused to
the situation.
"well. Mr.. Enright couldn't come,
and Lacy is over across the creek yet,
hunting down Ned Beaton's murderer.
J am Miss La Rue" she hurried on,

over. his hand on the others knee,
"but II we can get there earlier. I'd
rather not waste time. There's no
knowing what devil like Mendez may
do. Let's take scout around. any

They started. the one going east. the
other west, and made a semicircle I'M

south Of the spring, having found moth

their way through the sand. and all at
once Brennan lifted his hand into the
air and called. Westcott hurried over

down ut the track OF wagon wheel.
1t had slid along a slight declivity, and
left mark so deep as not yet to be
obllterated. They traced It for thirty
feet before It entirely disappeared.
"Still goin' SOUTH" affirmed the mar

look like there's nothin' out there, but
we might try. Let's saddle up"
1t was blind trail. and progress
was slow. The men separated. riding
back and forth, leaning forward In the
saddles, scanning the sand for the
slightest sign. Twice they encoun-
tered an undoubted wheel mark, and

once traces of the whole four wheels
were plainly visible. These could be
followed easily for nearly quarter of
a mile, but then as quickly vanished as
the wagon came again to an outcrop-
ping of rock. Yet this was assured
the outfit had headed steadily south
ward.
This was desperately slow work, and
beyond that ridge of rock they dlscov-
cred no other evidence. An hour
passed, and not the slightest sign give
encouragement. Could the wagon have
turned in some other direction? In
the shadow of a sand dune they halted
finally to discuss the situation. Should
they go on? Or explore further to the
west? Might 1t not even be better 70

wait the coming Of Lacy?
Brennan was for turning back.
arguing the uselessness of going fur
ther, and the necessity of water for
the ponies.
"Come on, JIM" he urged. "Bc sem

no fault o. ours. An Apache Indian
couldn't trace herd o. steers through
this sand. And look ahead thar It's
worse. an. more Of it. I'm for stalking

denly, staring southwark as though he
had seen vision. Holy smoke
What's that? BY Godi It's wagon.
Jim; an 1t come right up out of the
earth. There. was6't NO wagon there

For moment both men suspected
that what they looked upon was a
mirage-its actual existence there In
that place seemed impossible. Yet
there was no disputing the fact that
yonder In the very midst of that DESC
lation Of sand wagon drawn by
strainlng horses was slowly moving
directly toward them. Westcott was
first to grasp the truth. hastily jerking
the marshal back to where the tired
ponies stood with dropping heads be-
hind the protection of the dune.
Westcott lay outstretched on the
far side OF the dune. his hat beside
