Down by the river, well screened
with cotton-woods. Travers fished In
pool close by the ford. He heard
voices, and. looking up quickly. saw
Rifles and Gardiner riding slowly down
the road. The two rode close by. and
stopped their horses TO drink with
their forefeet In the river. Jim was
going to call to them when he heard
his own name mentioned. He was no
eavesdropper, but he obeyed the i'm
pulse to listen and keep out OF sight.
"Travers doesn't suspect thing"
Gardiner was saying. Its Just as

II Jim had been prompted by curl
oslty at first a very different emotion
laid hold Of him as he caught the gist
OF Gardeners remarks. Travers had
not known Harris TO be In the district.
but he had suspected for some days
that Gardiner and Rifles were Matching
mischief In their long absences togeth-
er. The Information that Harris was
going up the river tonight, apparently
with a large sum of money, and the
fact that these two men also were go
ing up the river, gave to Travers' MIN
BILE mind framework on which to hang
almost any kind Of plot.
He leaned forward In the trees, but
at that moment Rifles clutched Gardi-
ner's arm and said something In a low
voice The two men rode through
the river. and their words were
drowned In the lisp Of the water.
The smile did not leave Travers'
lips as he wound up his reel and stole
swiftly along a cattle-track up from
the river. but a sudden light cleaned
In his eyes and his muscles hardened
with excited tension. He knew the
shanty 10 which Gardiner referred. as
they had once been there together.
and he resolved that II there were GO
ing to be any "doings" In that locali-
~ tonight he would furnish share of
the excitement. Unfortunately. the
ford was on a cross-road little used,

ranch. BY the time Travers reached

for his revolver, substituted a rife
which lay at hand. and at length
found himself upon the trail. darkness
was setting In. and Gardiner and Riles
had many miles start Of him.
When the two plotters stopped to let
their horses drink at the ford Gardiner
suddenly broke on from their CONVEX
sation to make a few remarks about
Travers and Harris. Riles had lis
tened indifferently until his eye caught
sight OF Travers. half concealed
