Synopsis. -- Frederick Cavendish, New fork man of wealth, receives a letter from an old friend, Jim TVestcott, urging him to come at once to Colorado. Deciding to go, he employs a lawyer, Patrick Enright, to draw up a will leaving most of his estate to charity, with a mere pittance to John Cavendish, his cousin, and only relative, a dissolute youth. That night Frederick Cavendish is murdered In his apartments. No will being found, John Cavendish inherits the estate. Two mcuths later Enright informs John Cavendish of the existence of the will and offers, for *100,000, to say nothing of it John agrees. Stella Donovan, newspaper writer, learns from Frederick Cavendish's valet that he is not satisfied the body found was that of his employer, feke is directed by Farrtss, city editor of the Star, to follow up the cue. Stella learns of the will Enright had drawn up, also of John Cavendish's infatuation for Celeste LA Rue, chorus prirl. A conversation Stella overhears between Celeste and John Cavendish convinces her Frederick Cavendish is alive, the victim of a conspiracy engineered by Enright to secure his forttine, and that Celeste knows where he is hidden. Ned Beaton, notorious gunman, Is also mentioned. Celeste is about to leave for Haskell, Colorado, and Stella goes there. At Haskell Stella, representing herself as a magazine writer, makes the acquaintance of Jim Westcott. Stella confides In Jim, who believes Cavendish is alive. Celeste and Enright join Beaton at Haskell. Westcott listens to a conference between Beaton, Enright and Bill Lacy, local desperado. He learns that Frederick Cavendish is alive and a prisoner of Lacy. Cfaught listening, Westcott escapes, but becomes a marked man. Celeste visits Stella and discovers her mission. Stella is lured from the hotel, kidnaped and taken to Sunken valley, a stronghold of Pascual Mendes, leader of horse thieves. She is left prisoner in the hands of Juan Cateras, Mendez' lieutenant. Back at Haskell. Westcott Is Informed of the kidnaping. He determines to force the truth from Bill Lacy. A terrific fight follows, in which Enright shoots at Jim and kills Beaton. Lacy accuses Jim.

He'd Just as «oon do It with a bullet as a rope. Go ion with your story." Westcott told It simply, but In full detail. The marshal listened quietly to the narrative, the quick action of ihls jaws alone evidencing his Interest, lalthough he occasionally Interposed a (question. Except for Westeott's voice there was BO soand, beyond the lap- ' ping of water against the rock, and ino figures of men became visible along 'either bank. The party above had I crossed the stream, and disappeared up a ravine, and nothing remained to Indicate that these two were fugitives, , 'hiding for their lives, and facing a desperate expedient in an effort to escape their pursuers. As the speaker finally concluded the silence was almost oppressive. "How do yer suppose Bill Lacy got ilnto the affair?" asked Brennan, at last thoughtfully. "I don't put no sorter deviltry beyond him, yer under stand, but I don't quite see how he lever come to get mixed up in this yere New York mess." •Tm Just as much in the dark as you are, as to that," admitted West eott doubtfully. "I am convinced, bow ever, that Cavendish is still alive, and that another body strangely resembling his was found In the New York apartments. According to Enright this was not part of their scheme, but merely an accident of which they took advantage. How true this Is will never be known unless we discover Cavendish. and learn his story. Now, if he is alive, where has he been concealed, and for what purpose? Another thing begins to loom up. The mere hiding of the man was all right so long as the conspirators were not suspected. But now when they are aware that they are being followed, what is likely to happen? Will they become desperate © I enough to kill their victim, hoping thus i to destroy absolutely the evidence of j their crime? Will their vengeance also include Miss Donovan?" "Not unless they can get you out of | the way first," decided the marshal 1 grimly. "That is Lacy's most impor- I tant Job--you are more dangerous to ; them now than the girl. That meeting today was prearranged, and Beaton was expected to land you. That was why he hid behind the curtain, but something caused him to make a false move; they never expected you to put up that sort o' fight, Jim, for nobody knew yer in this camp fer a fightln' man. But what's yer theory 'bout Cavendish? Let's leave the dead man in New York go, an' get down ter cases." "I figure It out like this, Dan. I believe Fred got my telegram, and decided to come out here at once without telling anybody what his plans were. All he did was to make a will, so as to dispose of his property in case anything happened. His employing Enright for that Job unfortunately put the whole thing in the hands of this crowd. They were ready to act, and they acted. Beaton must have taken the same train, and the two men got friendly; probably they never knew each other in New York, but, being from the same place, it was easy enough to strike up an acquaintance. What occurred on board Is all guesswork, but a sudden blow at night, on an observation platform, at some desert station, is not impossible; or it might be sickness, and the two men left behind to seek a physician. Here was where Lacy must have come in. He goes east occasionally, doesn't he?" "Sure; come to think of it he was In New York 'bout three months ago on some cattle deal ,an' I heard he had an agent there sellin' wildcat minin' stock. There ain't no doubt in my mind but he knew some o' these fellers. They wouldn't 'a' planned this unless they had some cache fixed out yere In this country--that's plain as a wart on the nose. But whar Is it? I'll bet yer that If we ever find Cavendish, we'll find the girl along with him; an' what's more, that spot ain't liable ter be more'n fifty miles from Haskell." "What makes you think that?" " 'Cause this Is Lacy's bailiwick, an' thar ain't no man knows this country better*n he does. Then, why should Enright an' his crowd come yere, unless that was a fact? They must have come for something; that lawyer ain't yere on no mlnln' deal; an' no more has Beaton been layln' round town fer a month doln' nuthln' but drinkin' whisky. The whole blame outfit is right here in Haskell, and they wouldn't be if this wasn't headquarters. That's good common sense, ain't It? What made yer ask me 'bout Pascual Mendez this mornin'? You don't hook the Mexican up with this affair, do yer?" "Sadie told me she heard Enright speak of him at breakfast; that was all she heard, Just the name." "Sadie? Oh, the red-headed waitress at Tlmmond',' you mean? Big Tim's girl?" Yes; she was the one who saw Miss Donovan forced into the wagon, and driven off." And they took the old Shoshone trail; out past Hennessey's ranch?" "So she described It. Does that mean anything?" Brennan did not answer at once, sitting silent, his brows wrinkled, staring through a crevasse of the rock up the stream. Finally he grinned Into the anxious face of the other. "Danged If I know," he said drawlingly. "Maybe it does, and maybe again It don't. I was sorter puttln' this an' that together. I never got hold ov any proof, but Lacy has shipped a pile o' cattle out o' Villa Real, although why he should ever drive his cows there across the desert Instead o' shippin' them here In Haskell or Taylorvllle, I never could understand. That's the principal reason I've got for thlnkln' he an' Mendez are In cahoots, an* if they be, then the Mexican must have some kind o' a camp out there In the sand whar he hides between raids; though, damn if I know whar it can be." He paused reflectively. "ItH be like hunting a needle in the haystack, Jim, but I reckon you an' I'll have to get out that way, an' we might have luck enough to stumble onto the old devil. Westcott changed his position, inadvertently bringing his head above the protection of the rock. Instantly there was a sharp report, and a speeding bullet grazed his hair, flattening out against the stone. The rapidity with which he ducked caused the mar shal to laugh. "Not hurt, are you? No. That was a rifle; Mike isn't such a bad shot with that weapon. He's over there behind that tree--see the smoke? If the cuss pokes his head out, I'll try the virtue of this 45; It ought to carry that far. Hah! there he is; I made the bark fly, anyway/' The afternoon wore away slowly, mained watchful, but silent, brooding over his plans for the night, but Westcott became overpowered by fatigue and slept quietly for several hours. The sun was already sinking behind the range of mountains when he finally; aroused h!mself, and sat up. Brennan greeted him with a good-natured grin. "Well, do you feel better, Jim?" he asked pleasantly. "Thought I'd let you sleep as long as I could, for we've got some job ahead of us. Sorry thar ain't no breakfast waltln', fer 1 wouldn't object ter a bit o' ham bone myself. I reckon if Lacy coops me up much longer he's liable ter win his bet; Fm {dumb near starved out already." 'Tm afraid they've got us, Dan." "Qh, I don't know; leastwise I ain't put up no white flag yet You're game fer a try at gettln* out o' yere, ain't yer, old man? I've sorter been reckonin' on yer." 'Til take any chance there Ip,' returned Westcott heartily, staring Into the other's face. "Have you some plan?" "Maybe 'tain't that exactly/ but I've been doln' a powerful lot o' thlnkln' since you was asleep, Jim, an' I reckon we might beat these fellers with a fair show o' luck. This Is how I figure It out. Thar won't be no attack; that's a cinch. Lacy knows we can shoot, an' he also knows we're marooned yere without food. The easiest thing Is ter starve us out" "But there are good men in this camp, law-abiding men," Interrupted the miner. "Won't they take a hand?" "Maybe they might if I was free ter get 'em together; but I ain't. Most o* 'em are out In the mines, anyway; they don't know which party is right In this rumpus, an' they ain't got no leader. Lacy runs the town, an' he's got a big gang o' toughs behind him. There ain't nobody wants to buck up against his game. Of course the boys might get mad after a while, but I reckon we'd be' starved plumb ter death long afore that happened. An' that ain't the worst uv It Jim--the sheriff is Lacy's man. I wouldn't never dare turn you over ter him--not by a Jugful." "Then w» jure blocked at every turn." . . v' "We sure are, unless we can dig out ourselves," gravely. "My notion is to get a fair start, drift out Into Shoshone, whar we'll leave no trail, an' then hit for over the line." "On foot?" "H 1, no! I ain't no such walker as all that. Come over yere; keep yer head down; now look out between these two rocks. Do yer see them cow-ponies hitched ter the rack alongside o' the Red Dog? Well, they've been thar fer a matter o' three hours, I reckon, an' their riders ain't liable "The sdoner the better I" i "That's my ticket Com* apt thin, but don't make a sound; them,lads ire more liable to heftr than they are to see us. Let me go first" The log was at the other end of the little Island, but there was a considerable rift in the rock surface, not deep, but' of sufficient width to permit the passage of a body. The jagged stone made the way rough in the dark, and Westcott found himself at the upper extremity, gashed and bfuised by the contact Brennan lowered himself into the water,' assisted fn the downward climb by some low, tough bushes whose tendrils clung tenaciously to the smooth rock. Westcott followed silently, and found footing in about three feet of water, where it swirled around the base of the Island. • Brennan put his lips close, to his companion's ear. "Got yet cartridges tied up? That's all right; hand 'em over. You hang on to the outside, an' Til push off. If yer have ter paddle ter keep in the current don't let yer hands er feet come to the surface--understand?" "Certainly." "All right then; are yon all set? Holy smoke, this la going to be some yactot ride." v The log did not even grate as It loosened Its slight hold on the rock, and began the voyage down-stream. The current was swift enough to bear it and Its burden free from the island, although it moved slowly and noiselessly on Its way. The two men deeply submerged on either side, with heads held rigid against the wet bark, were Indistinguishable. Out from the deeper shadow, Brennan gently controlled the unwieldy affair, and keeping It as nearly as possible to the center, by the noiseless movement of a hand under water. No alarm greeted Its progress, and at last, confident that they were already safely below the extent of the guard line, the two men, clinging to its wet sides, ventured to kick out quietly, and thus hasten its progress. It came ashore at the extreme end of the curve, and, after a moment of intent listening, the voyagers crept up the sand, and in whispers discussed the next effort of their escape. The belts were unstrapped from about the log, reloaded with cartridges, and buckled around dripping waists, before they clambered cautiously up the low bank. The road was just beyond, but between them and It arose the almost shapeless form of a small house, a mere darker shadow in the gloom of the night. "Where are we?" questioned Westcott. "Just back of old Beecher's shack. He's trucking down Benson way, but is liable to have some grub stored inside. I was countln' on this for our commissary department Come on, Jim; time is money Just now." The door was unlocked, and In less than ten minutes they emerged once more Into the open bearing their spoils --Wescott, a slab of bacon and a small frying pan; Brennan a paper sack of cornmeal, with a couple of specimens of canned goods. He had also resurrected a gunny sack somewhere, In which the things were carefully wrapped, and made secure for transportation. "Didn't feel no terbacco, did yer, Jim?" the marshal questioned solicitously. MI reckon not, though; ol* Heecher never would leave nuthln' like that lyln' round. Well, Lord! we ought ter be thankful fer what we've got Now, if we can only get away with them hosses." They wormed their way forward to the edge of the road through a fringe of bushes, Westcott laden with the bundle. Except for the sound of distant voices and an occasional loud laugh, the night was still. They could almost hear their own breathing, and the crackle of a dry twig underfoot sounded to strained nerves like the report of a gun. Crouching at the edge of the road they could see fairly well what was before them, as revealed by the lights shining forth though the dingy windows of the saloon. A hum of voices echoed out Into the night, but the platform In front of the door was deserted. Occasionally some wanderer either entered or departed, merging Into the crowd within or disappearing through the darkness without To the left of the building, largely within its shadow, stretched the hitch rail to which were fastened fully a dozen cow-ponies, most of them revealed only by their restless movements, although the few nearest the door were plainly enough visible in the reflection of light Brennan's hand closed heavily on the arm of the other. "Well pick out the two critters farthest from the light" he muttered, "an' trust ter luck. We'll have to lead 'em a ways afore we mount Shall we try it now?" "The sooner the better." "That's me. Blamed If I thought I'd be a hoss thief, but when a feller as-' eoeiate8 with Bill Lacy there's no knowln' what he will come to. We better try the other side o' the road, Jim." They were in the flicker of light for scarcely an Instant, merely two darting shadows, vanishing once more swiftly and silently Into the gloom. Nor were they much longer In releasing the two cow-ponies. Westcott tied his bundle to the cantle of the saddle and then, bridle reins in hand, the do up their j>onles and remained Intent and rigid. Brennan's hand rested oft the butt of his revolver, but for the moment neither could determine what was moving In the Intense blackness of the hillside. Then something spectral advanced Into the starlight of the road and confronted them. , 'Is- that you, Mr. Cassldyf asked a woman's voice softly.

It makes an ideal. supplementary Instructor in commercial and physical geography as well as in many other branches of science. The motion picture camera also willsoon be within the reach of nearly every one. Even with the present machines any person can take motion pictures of his friends and relatives. Some persons are already making pictures of their children at regular intervals.

The children drifted from Lakeside, Mich., at 9 o'clock Saturday morning, and while they were far from land two of them who got out of the boat were rescued by 9-year-old Merwin Daso, one of the party.

Squatting on the second deck of the steamer, the hero of the adventure told the passengers just how It happened. " They started out from Lakeside with a broken oar and two sticks, intending to push themselves along the shallow shore. Soon they were a long way out he told the passengers, and with a wind blowing they could not get the boat headed back for Lakeside. Late in the afternoon Violet conceived the bright idea to get out and push the boat She could not touch the bottom, of course, and Merwln was afraid she was going to drown. He finally succeeded in pulling her back into the boat Saturday night "Bob" got Into trouble. He insisted In prowling about the flat bottomed craft and fell overboard.

There was no need for more speech; they understood each other. The night closed down swiftly, as It does In the West, the purple of the hills becoming black as though by some magic. There was a heavy cloud hanging In the Western sky, constantly sweeping higher In pledge of a dark night The banks of the stream heoame obscured, and finally vanished altogether; while the water ceased to glimmer and turned to an inky blackness. Lights twinkled In the distant shacks, and the front of the Red Dog burst Into Illumination. Brennan chuckled, and pointed his finger at the glare.
