O pail- bdic way atta: An Arrest The Santa Fe trail was far too ex- posed to be safely traveled alone and in broad daylight, but Keith consid- ered it better to put sufficient space between himself and those whom he felt confident were still watching his movements from across the river.

Finally he drew the letters from out his pocket, and began examining them. They yield- ed very little information. those tak- en from the older man having no en- velcpes to show to whom they had been addressed. The single document found in the pocket of the other was a memorandum of account at the Pioneer Store at 'l‘Opelta. charged to John Sibley; and marked paid. This then must have been the youngerl man‘s name. as the letters to the oth-l er began occasionally “Dear \Vill.” They were missives such as a Wife! might “life to a husband long ab- sent. yet upon a mission of deep in-! terest to both. Keith could not fully! determine what this mission might be. as the persons evidently understood each other so thoroughly that mere allusion tool: the place of detail. Twice the name Phyllis was mention- ed. and once a “Fred" was also re ferred to. but in neither instance clearly enough to reveal the relation- ship. although the latter appeared to he pleaded for. Certain references tioned. They were invariably signed “Mary.” The only other paper Keith discovered “as a brief itinerary of the Santa Fe trail extending as far west as the Ram; .‘-.l'ountains, giving the u ual camping spots and places whe 9 water was accessible. He slipped t' 6 papers back into his pocket with a ; distinct feeling of disappointment, | and lay back staring u'p at the little strip of blue sky. he silence was profound, even his horse standing mo- tionless, and finally he fell'asleep. The sun had disappeared, and even the gray of twilight was fading out of the sky, when Keith returned again to consciousness, amused by his horse rolling on the soft turf.

To Keith, whose for- mer acquaintance with the place had been entirely after nightfall, the View of it now was almost a shock--~the miserable shacks, the gaudy saloon ifmnts, the littered streets, the'dingy. unpainted hotel. the dirty flap of can- 'Vas, the unoccupied road. the dull prairie sweeping away to the horizon, lll composed a hideous picture be- neath the sun glare. He could scarce- ly find a man to attend his horse, and Ct the restaurant a drowsy Chinaman had to be shaken awake. and fright- oned into serving him. He sat down b the miserable meal oppressed with disgustâ€"never before had his life Deemed so mean, usela-s, utterly with- out excuse. He possessed the appetite of the open. of the normal man in perfect physical health, and he ate heartily. his eyes wandering out of the open window down the long. dismal. street. A drunken man lay in front of the "Red Light" saloon sleeping undis- turbed; two our dogs were snarling at each other just beyond over a bone; I movers‘ wagon was slowly coming In across the open through a cloud of yellow dust. That was all within the radius of vision. For the first time in years the East called himâ€"the old life of cleanliness and respectability. He swore to himself as be tossed the Chinaman pay for his breakfast. and strode out onto the steps. Two men were coming up the street together from the opposite directionâ€"one lean, dark-skinned. with black goatee, the other heavily set with closely trim- med gray beard. Keith knew the lat- ter, and waited, leaning against the door, one hand on his hip. “Hullo, Bob.” he said genmny: “they must have routed you out pret- ty early today.” “They shore did, Jack,” was the m- sponse. He came up the steps some- what heavily, his companion stepping below. “The boys raise hell all night, an’ then come ter ma bar straighten 2t out In the mawnin'.

And they had found a way to safely muzzle him. They must have ridden hard over those sand dunes to have reached Carson City and sworn out this warrant. It was a good trick, likely enough to hang him, if the fel- lows only stuck to their story. All this flashed through his brain, yet somehow he could not clearly compre- hend the full meaning, his mind con- fused and dazed by this sudden real- ization of danger. His eyes wandered from the steady gaze of the marsliaf, who had half drawn his gun fearing resistance, to the man at the bottom of the steps. Suddenly it dawned upon him \x'hvre he had seen that dark-skinned face, with the black goa- tee, beforeâ€"tit the faro table of the "Red l_,igl".t.".

It won’t hurt you to stay awake all night if you must; you will be sure to sleep all the better the next night. At any rate, you can lie and rest. Get up if you feel like it, get a drink of water. re- arrange your bedclothing. Make yourself as comfortable as possible. Now, calmly and deliberately make up your mind to wait for morning.
