CHAPTER XIV
Wilton Rides Alone.


He ran down toward the swamp,
followed by the party Of engineers.
The horses, released during the fire,
were grazing along the edge; they
were wary, however, and would not
let themselves be approached. For
some minutes the men made fruitless
efforts to surround them.
However, Wilton managed to catch
the name of a big draught-beast
which had been in the front row of
the grading yOkes and, despite its
clumsy appearance, had taken the sad
die and had tolerable action.
But hardly had he made sure Of 1t
by grasp on the name and upper lip
than the remainder, snOrting and
hourishing their heels, dashed through
the Gordon and galloped full speed to-
ward the lake.
We'll be with you In a minute, Mr..
Carruthers !" shouted one Of the men
as they went in pursuit.
But Wilton, without answering, had
sprung on the beasts back and, lean
ing forward, caught the broken halter
and guided 1t across the swamp. He
had no doubt that the outlaws who had
set the fire were responsible for Mol
ly's abduction and, IL the trail led up
to Bowyer, as he was sure 1t would,
God help Bowyerl
In a couple Of minutes he had put
on the saddle and tauteped the Rirth.

CHAPTER Kill.

Wilton carried the dead man into
his room and laid the body on the bed.
His face was set like flint. In this he
traced the work of. Bowyer; but the
tool, Lee Chambers, was the object
of his immediate vengeance.
Before anything else he must dis
cover the motive Of the burglary.
He opened the safe, which he had
shut, and went through the papers
very deliberately. He was astonished
to find that everything appeared in
tact and just as he had left it.
Wilton could not understand it. He
tried to figure 1t out. He had already
come to the conclusion that the fire
had been started with the purpose Of
drawing himself and those in the vicin1
ity away from the office, while the
burglary was being committed. But
why had it failed? And what had
Chambers been after2

face.
Desperate as she was, Molly would
have tried to leap from the rig but
for her father She heard him con-
tinue mumbling; and at length the
meaning of his words reached her
brain, and the horror of them numbed
her and repressed all thought of fight
ing.
It'll be all right, my lass" the old
man was muttering. "They won't hurt
We no more. They're taking us to Tom
Bowyer, reckon. He's bested us.
Well have to give in. Well make the
most of it."
The old man shook with fear, but
he laid his hand caressingly upon
her head. And afterward Molly re-
called that gesture, and remembered
that it was his right one
At the time she thought nothing.
She lay back with her head against the
seat, resolved TO husband her strength
for a more desperate struggle later, If
need be. Her dress was rent, her hair
fell to her waist. Rain had begun to
fall; the horses. lashed necessarily,
tore madly through the darkness, and
the rig swayed dangerously from side
to side
MOlly's thoughts ran on as fiercely.
They were taking her to BOwyer, then
But Bowyer was at Cold Junction, and
surely he could not harm her there
And he was taking her father. She
must remain at his side and protect
him. She sat passively upon the floor,
hearing the frenziPd babbling of the
old man, and soothing him with one
hand stretched out upon his.
But this was not the way to Cold
Junction This led toward Chain of
Lakes, where several fishing clubs had
purchased ground and water rights and
set up camps. Her heart sank. She
caught at Hackett's arm

pleaded. won't you let us go back?

Hackett grinned at her and tried to
put his arm about her. She struck out
