Curran, the foreman, promises him a job if he can break a horse cal- led Black Dawn. When he snc- ceeds, he discovers Curan expected the horse to kill l.ini. A girl nam- ed Lois rides tip, angry with Dave for breaking "her" horse. She re- fuses to speak to him even when he uses his savings to pay off the mortgage on the small rancli she shares with ber foster father, a man named Hooker. But when Hooker is shot and Dave is charg- ed with murder, I.ois saves hini from being lynched. Wounded, she guides him to a mountain cave where she thinks tbey will be safe from Curran and the sheriff's posse. A quarrel between Ferris and Judge Lonergan reveals that Ferris ha'l killed his partner, Blane Rowland, many years before. Thoroughly scared, Ferris takes Curran into his confidence. \Vhen Dave is away front the cave Curran kidnaps Lois. Still unaware of Lois' danger, Dave has just discovered what he believes to be a human skeleton near the cave. He is examining the skull. CHAPTER XXI There was a clean, rounu hole at the back, such as a bullet would have made, and the frontal bone was mostly missing, with jagged edges about it. "Yore horse didn't slip,'hombre," said Dave to the skull. "Yores is a case of plain murder. Yore part- ner shot ynh from behind, the dirty murdering hound!" Dave put on his socks and shoes agaiii and began to rcascend the side of the ravine. Arrived at the top, he looked at the sun and con- cluded that it was already well past noon. He had told Lois that he would be back to see her around midday. But when Dave reached the cave, he found it empty. "I^ois!" he called. "Lois, girl, where arc yuh?" The echoes of his voice floated back mockingly from the cliffs acrn^is the ravine, and that was all. geance. Dave ran back to where Black Dawn was standing and sprang into the saddle. He adjiist- ed his belt, bringing the holste. close to his right hand. When he met Coggswell, it would be just too bad for Coggswell. Softly Dave edged the stallion along the trail, peering right and left for any hidden ambuscade. But the bootprints had changed to the prints of two horses' hoofs. If Coggswell had set an ambuscade along the route, he had certainly not joined it himself. Dave trailed the hoofprints as far as the canyon, and then lost them. It was impossible to dis- cover any signs of them on the flinty ground. But Dave was pretty sure Coggswell had taken Lois to Hooker's cabin, perhaps to leave her there and come back in search of linn. It was an hour after the discov- ery that Lois had been kidnapped before lie suddenly saw Hooker's cabin before him. No horse was visible, but Dave dismounted and crept softly for- ward, peering through the under- growth. Foot by foot he edged his way forward. The plaintive lowing 0.' the unmilkcj cow came to his ears from somewhere on the mesa. Otherwise â€" nothing. And when at last Dave entered Hooker's cabin, he found it empty, with no sign that anyone had been in it since Lois and he iiad left it. Grimly Dave turned -the stallion and rode back through the canyons. Again he found the hoofprints, and again, in spite of casting about in a wide circle, he was unable to discover which way the horses had gone. The sun was well down in the west when Dave rode back toward Hooker's cabin, reckless now. He was almost through the scrubb when he reined in abrutly. He could see the cabin again, and this time a horse was standing saddled in front of it. Listening, Dave could hear foot- steps in the cabin. Someone was walking to and fro inside it. "Hold 'cm hicli. Sheriff. Tlien Dave's pupils ciuitiacled sharply as he saw the footprints of a man's boots on the other side of the cave, faint, but uninislakablc n the grouivj softened by the rains. Here, too, were the prints of Lois' little hoots, and whore they c( iscd there was a furrow in the til! as if she had been dragged. i-?>('nd, the iirints of the man's I .".):: were deeper, as 't he had been carrying a burden. ♦ * ♦ It was all iierlectly clear and un- niislakahle, and told its story only too will. Coggswell must have got upon the tiail and takci Lois away. The v\addy's face was trans- formed into a griin mask of vcu- or I'll blow vour head off!" Dave diiln't dismount this time. He edged the black horse forward, its hoofs making no sound on the soft mesa. Xow be was immedi- ately behind the house. He could hear the foot-steps inside distinct- ly. Now hQ got out of his saildli" and went quietly around the shack. As he reached the front angle he .^aw -Shcrilf Coggswell come out of the door and move toward his horse. Dave leaped forward. His at- titude was the crouch, of a bc;-st of prey, liis voice a rumbling snarl: "Hold 'em high, sheriff, or I'll blow yore head off!" 'I'akcn utterly by surprise, Coggs- well i>iit up his hands. "Well, you got the drop on me all rlKhl.
