Macklin had not completed his job,

CHAPTER VII.
An Hour Behind.

There was no marked trail, but the
instincts of plainsman kept Shelby's
course directly to the northwest. The
bronco, now thoroughly tanned, and
obedient to the slightest pressure OF
the riders leg, kept tireless gait,
picking out unaided the easiest paths.
From the general direction Of the trail
left by the raiders he had decided
they were heading for certain por-
tion of the Bad Lands, and, IL this
theory was correct. he ought easily to
cut across their tracks again late In
the afternoon. Sitting upright In the
deep saddle, with the straight back
Of the cavalryman, his eyes watchful,
his lips grimly set, he rode steadily on
hour after hour, thinking, planning,
beginning now to realize the depth Of
his own interest In this effort at res
cue. He had hardly comprehen6ed be.
fore that this girl was really his wife
that her life had become his to
guard. The affair between them had
occurred so swiftly, so unexpectedly.
he had not before awakened to its
true meaning But now 1t became very
real, and he was positively surprised
to learn the strength of hold she al
ready had upon him.
His mind would linger over a thou
sand little womanly peculiarities
which somehow had unconsciously i'm
pressed him-the soft glow In her
eyes, the wistfulness of her smile; the
slight dimple in her chin; the pulsing
Of blood in her cheeks; the round firm
ness Of the white neck; the peculiar
gracefulness Of her walk; the name
less attractiveness of poise, all came
back now in odd fascination. He was
not aware before that he had ever
noticed these things, but now their
memory dominated him, caused his
pulses to quicken. He had known lit.
tie of women since boyhood and never
before had he encountered on terms
of intimacy this tys,e of woman. She
had been a revelation to him even In
his blindness, but now, under the spell
of memory, she had suddenly changed
to an inspiration. His wife, Olga
Carlyn, his wifei He said the words
over, as though he recalled dream

startled buckskin to cast back an evC
eye at his unconscious rider.

night air had CONCEALED the blood.
With supreme effort he drew him
self into sitting posture, and stared
rather blankly about at the objects re-
veal-d in the gray dawn.
The sight as instantly restored his
memory; the cabin door stood wide
open, just as he left II, and within the
lamp still burned on the table, in the
midst of the dirtied dishes. She had
not returned, them he had been lying
there alone all night. The realization
maddened him to effort, and, by grasp
ing at the door for support he attained
his feet, and stood there for mo-
ment, swaying dizzily. Exactly what
had occurred he could not determine;
the whole affair seemed more like a
dream than reality. He had left her
there apparently cheerful and happy,
the laughter In her eyes 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 struggle. The Kid where
was he anyway? What had become of
the fellow all this time? He was no
where in sight when Shelby retraced
his steps up the path. Could 1t be
that the Kid was the one guilty Of this
deed? If so, what was his object?
Not robbery, surely, for the place had
not been ransacked, or anything re-
moved from his pockets. Yet surely
this was not Indian work; 1t bore no
resemblance to savage raid. The
questions were unanswerable; no
mental effort gave him any clue, yet
his strength was rapidly coming back,
and with 1t grim, determined anger,
which urged him into action.
First he went through the deserted
house, room by room, seeking for the
slightest sign of guidance, but finding
none. Everything remained precisely
as he remembered seeing 1t the night
before. He blew out the light, took
|. down one Of the rifles from the wall,
loaded 1t, and then, feeling his old
strength returning, cautiously stepped
out through the front door. The buck
board stood there. gaunt and stripped,
except for the box between the rear
wheels. He peered into this, and
found It still half filled with bundles.
The Clio messenger., 1921-05-19
quired that she be kept alive, but
IL. .l..--.. -

quired that she be kept alive, but
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 on the plains, warned him
stream, built fire In the stove, and,
after washing the blood from his
head. ate heartily then packed
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 flinging the
haversack 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 tireless,
and able to exist where either of the
others would starve. 1t required q
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 rough, hard
struggle, but the human won, and, un.
der the merciless sting Of the quirt,
the maddened but subdued animal.
nostrils distended, and eyes vicious az
ever, yielded final obedience to ths
rein.
