He glanced with affected investiga-

But he was desperately III, and It was
February before the crisis was past,
and he awakened, intensely weak. but

He asked for Molly, and learned that
she had gone home on the day after
he had been brought to the house.
Kitty promised to show Wilton Moly's
letters when he got better.
Then you know we are engaged?"
asked Wilton.
Kitty smiled a little. 81 couldnt
help knowing that" she answered.
I'm glad for Molly's sake"
Wilton's mind had been all be-
wilderment as he racked his brains
for clue to Joe's death. Had he been
sure It was murder he could have
gone grjmly to work on the solution.
But there was always the doubt, the
paralyzing doubt, that It had been an
accident, and that one OF the half
breeds had fred the shot.
Yet Bowyer must have known OF
it; Bowyer had sent the impostors to
arrest him; he became more and more
convinced that Bowyer had learned
Of Joe's death that afternoon at the
portage, and had devised the arrest
TO keep him from the meeting.
