has come near the cave-but
I'll be on the watch"
Soon they crossed a flat,
stony stream bed that in a few
months would be a turbulent,
rushing torrent, but now held
only a thin. clear trickle wind
ing over a floor of water-worn
rocks. Here no trees were, and
they passed quickly on, their
horses hoofs clicking sharply
against the smooth white stones.
Leaving the trail, Dick headed
directly toward the timber's
edge where he might learn how
close Sari's followers had ap-
preached before he led Nora
across the divide to the back
trail. Here they both parted.
Below them the pursuing
party had split. One band had
almost reached the forest at
the same point where Nora
entered. The others still skirted
the foothills to the left.
Dick nodded. '"They're try.
ing to get you between them"
His eyes were Sombre. "This
means you'd better not come
again, Nora. For if anything
should"
Wounded
But those words were never
finished. With a snort Of
fright his horse jerked back
just as the spiteful crack of a
rifle ripped its way toward
them, sending Dicks hat spin.
ming to the ground. Terror
stricken, the bay reared, plung-
ing madly, knocking the rifle
from its scabbard, and for a
moment Lowell feared the horse
had been hit. In a flash his
automatic was out, and he
turned to face three armed
riders on the farther edge of
the rocky stream. AS he wheeled
another rifle crashed, and a
sudden stinging pain in Dicks
shoulder made him swerve in
the saddle.
Yet even in that moment Of
binding pain his first thought
was Of safety for the girl, and
reaching down, he struck her
horse with his open hand.
Wildly the pony leaped forward
into a clump of aspen, and now
deliberately Dick rode out in
full view beyond the shelter of
the forest.
Instantly he heard the rattle
OF horses feet in the stream
bed, and a second later the
three riders broke from the line
OF pines in swift pursuit.
At full gallop, they clattered
down the steep, Sage-covered
slope. Once Lowell looked back
to make sure he had drawn all
three pursuerS away from Nora,
then leaning far forward on
the mighty bays neck, gave the
horse its head. Already he was
drawing away from them as the
chase strung out behind. Once
his horse stumbled, recovered,
and was off again, and to the
left saw a puff of dust leap into
the air. Lowell laughed and
waved his hand. Only by re.
motest chance could a shot
find its mark at this wild pace.
But those shots had an effect
hardly less deadly. AS the
sound of firing echoed across
the foothills those two knots
Of horSemen on either side of
Lowell caught sight of the chase,
and now spreading fan-wise,
they tore along the slope, join
ing their own numbers in eager
pursuit of the lone rider. Family
above the pounding of his
horses hoofs Dick heard their
excited shouts and the far-off
rattle of rifle fire.

Mentally Dick gagged the

them to reach the spot where
the girl had entered the
forest. In less time than that
he could join her, lead her to

self be gone again into the
higher country.
Quickly he turned his horse
and at a fast walk descended
the flinty trail across the dry
headWaterS of Cougar Creek
and into the lower slopes of the
forest. AS he moved his eyes
unconSciously searched each tree
trunk. each clump of under.
brush. Warily urging his power.
1ul bay to greater speed where
the going was better, he pulled
him down to a walk each time
they entered a grove of heavier
timber that might furnish shell

So for a half hour he pushed
forward, and at length down
the trail ahead of him Dick
made out the figrue of the girl
approaching through the scat
tered trees. He called aloud,
and as she raised her head he
motioned her to hasten. In.
stantly realizing that danger
threatened, Nora hurried toward
him.
Dicks Plan
Even before she joined him
Dick had turned his horse, and
together they doubled back over
the trail while he told her of
the pursuing force that may
already have reached the lower
stretches of pine.
We'll keep ahead of them"
Dick ended, "and at the divide
you must take that old sheep
trail down the other side and
back to Verde. And don't come
again, Nora-neither you nor
VIII nor Stub. None of you.
It's getting too dangerous. God
alone knows how much it means
to see you just for a little
while, but I can't let you do it.
1t will be safer for me to come
down in the night to your ranch
whenever need arises"
She looked at him and a dull
pain gripped her heart. Those
past days of unceasing vigilance
were beginning to leave their
tell-tale trace and the mans
face was tired and worn. But
his eyes held the same uncon-
querable fire and the hand that
never moved far from his hol-
Ster was firm as before. Sad

assorted wet goods that were seized
from him at Philipsburg when he was
arrested for illegal possession Of liquor.
At the time the information was
filed by Attorney General Raymond T..

court to restore the bottles, on the
grounds they were the property of the
defendant and not subject to confisca-

Assistant Attorney General Oscar

liquor on the ground the court lacked
jurisdiction because the notice given
the state was defective. The court up

SIDNEY AREA.

approximately 500 government su-
gar beet allotment checks were re-
ceived in the Sidney project n are
being distributed by Treasurer Axel
Nelson of the Richland county pro-
ducticn control association. The total
amount of money received vas slight
ly over SAG, 900 and is payment for
the growers 1888 government bonus.
This amount is a little over half OF
the total to be received for this par
ticular payment, since approximately
$31 900 is yet to be received. This lat
ter amount will be received shortly.
This payment, in addition to the
previous government payment. brings
the total for this project from the gov
eminent up to over the quarter-million
dollar mark.
The growers in this factory district
have been allotted larger individual
acreages, this being due to other ter
ritories beng unable to absorb their
allotted acreage.
The lower Yellowstone valley was
one of the districts receiving a good
share of this unused portion, with
about 1000 acres going to this project.
With over 1900 acres of beets this
year, the factory management antlcl-
pates a run that will last into the mid
die of February. Heretofore the long
est run of the local Holly sugar fac
tory was to the 18th of January. This
will mean an increase in livestock feed
ing in the valley and other co-ordl-
mating activities within the district.
More men will be employed for a longer
period of time in these additional &C
~tivities. thus stepping up business after
the holidays.
