spiracy. He had lied to her, deceived
her, told her a fairy tale laughing at
her credulity, while coldly going for
ward with his own plans.
Deborah grasped all this almost in
stantly, unable to perceive any possi-
bility of escape from the net. Her
limbs trembled, vet she could only
kneel there in silence, watching the
approach Of the rider. A wild hope
thrilled into her heart, that perhaps
this man was not all bad; that what
ever his real life might be, he may
have meant to be square with her,
and would yet protect her. Surely he
never had revealed her presence to
these others; perhaps that was why
he had not returned with them, hoping
she might see the strangers, and hide.
His first words sent a thrill through
her heart-he was playing a part for
her protection.
He reined in his mount sharply
glancing keenly about, but with face
eXpressionless as his eyes finally en-
countered the two awaiting him.
"Whose horse is that?" he asked
inquiringly, indicating the grazing
animal.

II can see that for myself, but it

appreciate. "Only the two of US. Yet
it might be, for we knew not even
that you were to come also"
"That was an after-thought, and

KeIleen swung one leg carelessly
over the pommel of his saddle, and
deliberately rolled and lit a cigarette.
His face expressed no emotion, no
particular interest, yet Deborah was
certain the keen, searching eyes had
swept swiftly over her covert, and up
the steep front Of the overtOwering
cliff. He suspected where she was
hidden, and was endeavorIng to pro-
tect her from discovery; hut NhO was
he really playing fair with? was he
trying to deceive both? or merely
playing a desperate game in which
single slip would mean disaster? Was
he outlaw or honest man? Nothing
in the situation, or in the conversation
thus far overheard, gave her certainty.
She dare not move, scarcely venture
to breathe, as she watched the three
men below.
'When Is this Casebeer gang ex-
pected?" Kelleen questioned.

Joe Nc Faddan of this city and

city Hall last night. At times the
Douts seemed slow as the boys went

some clever inf1ghting was displayed
in which Dusty seemed to have the
advantage but Joe's quick left jabs
stopped the visitor time after time
and he held his own in the long dis
lance exchanges although Dusty's
punches seemed to have more steam.
Chick Wills won easily over X. o.

To Amend Trustee Law

Hearing was held before the legal
affairs committee Friday morning on
an act to amend the trustee law.
For some time it has been custom
airy for concerns to hold back the pay
of new employees covering a period
of a week or more, and it is the pur-
pose of the act to provide that this
shall not be subject to trustee pro-
cess. There has also been a practice
Of withholding money exempt under
trustee process until suit has been
satisfied, and the act would provide
that this be paid an employee on each
regular pay day.
J. +. Gould of Bangor, Judge Ben
jamin +. CleaYes, executive secretary
OF the Associated Industries of Maine
and Ernest E. Pratt of Portland,
legislative agent of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor, appeared in favor
OF the act.
