Rarbanet Is Persuaded.

Selwood got back without further
incident, and deposited his queer
looking bundle with care inside a cup
board in the harnessTroom. Scott had
returned and had covered the River
quarter, unmolested. His report con-
firmed all information that Bunty
Bartoe's place had not been burned,
and, Scott added, was now noisy with
Starbuck's following, who, passing in
and out. were celebrating their VIC
tory.
"Is Starbuck there" asked Parda-
loe.
1t was question Scott could not
answer.
Selwood's mind worked as he lis
tened. 'I've got to know for sure
where Starbuck is" he said, his eyes
moving from face to face Of those lis
tening about him. "Where's Bull
Page" he asked after a moments
thought. sect him here quick"
Facing Selwood within a moment
and alone with him in the office, the
dilapidated but amiable Bull looked
as surprised in being summoned at

ing for a minute, and entered through
side door which he found unlocked,
opening into the dining-room. With
out risking light, he felt his way
across to the hall, picking up wood
bottOmed chair as he did so, and
pausing at intervals to listen for
sound. He could hear nothing any
where, and walking up the front stairs
without much attempt to avoid the
inevitable creaking of the treads,
he felt along the wall for the
door of room number twelve. Lay
ing his hand after a moment on
the knob, he tried 1t. The door was
unlocked. Without opening 1t, he
knocked softly. There was no re-
Spouse. He listened intently for
sounds Of breathing. but could hear
none. He then set the chair in front
Of the closed door, lifted from his
coat pocket the dark lantern, lighted
it, set it facing the door on the chair,
pulled back the slide of the bull's-eye,
drew his revolver, and, standing to
one side, threw the door quickly open
If a shot were to come from within,
the lantern should draw it.
But no shot was hurled at him, no
response of any sort was made to
the rude intrusion; the silence was
almost ghostly. Selwood picked the
lantern up from the chair, threw its
light rays from side to side of the
room, and, crossing the threshold
with undated caution, looked about
him.
The bed had not been disturbed.
Selwood lighted lamp One Of
Christie's familiar straw hats lay on
the bureau. Beside it he saw a pair
Of gloves that he took up in his hand,
felt of, and looked at The simple
toilet articles of frontier girl. the
brush and comb and lesser feminine
accessories, together with black
leather belt and handkerchief, lay
at hand.
Everything gave mute evidence that
the defenseless owner had been spir-
tied away, or had fled without
moments warning.
To find himself standing thus sur
rounded by her most intimate be-
longings - belongings so familiar,
some Of them, to his observant eyes
that in looking at them he was
stirred to frenzy at the thought of
danger coming to her-was too much.
Without allowing himself to linger
a moment where sweetness seemed
still to exhale from her former pres
ence, Selwood jerked the Counterpart
from under the frightened cat, and
dumped into 1t, nhan-fashion, Christie's
belongings. He then emptied the bu-
reau drawers. caught up and tied the
counter pane corners into q sling,
and, catching the bundle up on one
arm, fastened down the stairs and
rejoined his men at the barn.

Eel Only Fish Which Seeks Prey in Packs

Among fishermen the pike Is called

its daring and ferocity and in the

hiding places under stones and weeds.
Eels are the only species of fish
which actually hunt their prey in COM
pany. The pike, perch and trout are
all predacious, but in hunting they
work singly. But cells, like wolves,
although hunting individually where
the smaller prey is concerned, do not
hesitate to band together and attack
victims for which they would be no
match In single combat.

Dogs That DON'T Bark

The Siberian sledge dogs, which are
reported to be very efficient in spite
of the fact that many Of them are on
the verge of starvation from time to
time, do not bark as do domesticated
dogs. They have manner Of howl
ing something akin to the wolf. In
the summer time they subsist on froz-

one hand, simply-"who rides with
me tonight ought not to care much
about coming back!"
Pardaloe was chewing slowly, but
with the steadIness Of fate. "Nothin'
particular, as I know of, John. calm
ME anywheres back"
"Come along, Bill"
A further parley was held; Tracy
at last pleaded to be taken back to
Sleepy Cat, and. as everybody else
was for 1t, Selwood gave in. 1t was
arranged that Pardaloe should ride
with Selwood and Scott, and that Nc
Alpin should follow in the wagon with
Tracy.
While Tracy's cot was hastily set
back in the wagon and the horses were
being got up, SelwOod took the am
munition out from under the seat

life-saver in drought-and appor-

the three men circled this open space

came together on higher ground,
where they could reconnoiter the

The fires that had lighted the sky
earlier in the night had died down,
chiefly for lack Of material for the
flames. An important part Of Sleepy

of the destruction was hidden in the
darkness. One quarter Of the stray

"Just hold 'em till I get some

back to their stalls, and Scott was
sent out to scout. Lefever told Sell
