Keith felt no doubt that Hawiey in- tended making tor Carson City, where he could securely hide the girl, and where he possessed friends to rally to his defence, even an influence over the officers of the law. The one thing which puzzled him most was the man’s object in attempting so desper- ate a venture. Did he know his prisr oner was Hope Waite? or did he still suppose he was running off with Chris- tie Maclaire? Could some rumor of Waite’s appeal to the courts have reached the gambler, frightened him, and caused him to attempt this des- perate effort at escape? and did he hear Miss Maclaire with him, hoping to keep her safely concealed until he was better prepared to come out in open fight? If this was the actual state of affairs then it would account for much o'horwlxe hard to explain. The actress would probably not have been misawl, or. at least, seriously sought nit-yr, until she failed to ap- pear at 'he *heuter the following even- ln::. This delay would give the ill- glith‘H :1 start or twenty hours, or even luoro, and prat'tirally assure their safety. Besides, in the light of “din-'5 uppiit'utiou to the sheriff for assistant-e, it was comparatively easy to (")"('o_‘i\'t‘ ot' a valid reason why llawley should vanish. and desire, likewLo, to take Miss Maclalre with him. llut the-re was no apparent 0c- casion for his forcible abduction of Hope.

Yet it was scarcely likely they would proceed very far in thut direction. as such a course would brln; them straight into the heart of the Indian country, into greater dan- What would result when the man discovered his mistake? Such a dis- covery could not be delayed long, al- though the girl was quich-witted, and would surely realise that her personal safety depended upon keeping up the deception to the last possible moment. Y-et the discovery must finally occur, and there was no guessing what form Hawley’s rage would assume when he found himself battled, and all his plans for a fortune overturned. Keith fully realized Hope’s peril, and his own helplessness to serve her in this emergency was agony. As they hur- ried back to the town, he briefly re- viewed these conclusions with Waite and Fairbain, all alike agreeing there r was nothing remaining for them to do except to take up 'the trail. The fugi- tives had already gained too great an advantage to be overhauled, but they might be traced to whatever point they were heading for. in spite of the '. start being so far to the west, Keith was firmly convinced that their destin- ' atiun would prove to be Carson City. to a deliberate plan. Both horses and men were certainly waiting there un- der orders, Hawley’s adherents in charge, and every arrangement per- tected in advance. Clearly enough the gambler had planned it all out before he ever went to the Troca- dewâ€"no doubt the completion of these final arrangements was what de- layed his appearance at the hotel. If this was all true, then it mutt have been Christie, and not Hope, he pur- posed bearing away with him, and the latter was merely a victim of her mu- querade.

A hundred yards farther .on Bristoe rained up suddenly, point- Ing down at the trail. “One hoss left the bunch here," he declared positively. Keith swung him- self out of the saddle, and bent over to study the tracks. There was no doubting the evidenceâ€"a single horse â€"â€"the only one shod in the bunchâ€" with a rider on its back, judging from the deep imprint of the hoofs, had swerved sharply to the left of the main body, heading directly into the southeast. The plainsman ran for- ward for a hundred yards to assure himself the man had not circled back: at that point the animal had been spurred into a lope. Keith rejoined the others. “Must have been about daylight they reached here," he said, picking up his dangling rein, and looking into the questioning faces about him. “The fellow that rode out yonder alone was heading straight toward Carson City. He is going for fresh horses, I figure it, and will rejoin the bunch some oltce down on the Arkansas. The other: intend to keep farther west. Where they won’t be seen.

Moreover, the strain of the uddle was already beginning to tell severely on W aite, weakened somewhat by years, and the pursuers were com- pelled to halt oftener on his account.

As soon as the sick man could be made comfortable, Keith gave to the others his conclusions, and listened to what they had to say. Bristoe favor- ed clinging to the trail, even though they must travel slowly, but Fairbain insisted that Waite must be taken to some town where he could be given necessary care. Keith finally decided the matter. “None can be more anxious to reach those fellows that I am," he declared, “but I know that country out south. and we’ll never get through to the Salt Fork without fresh horses. Be- sides, as the doctor says, we‘ve got to take care of Waite. If we find things as I expect we'll ride for Carson City, and reâ€"outflt there. What‘s more, we won’t lost much timeâ€"it‘s a shorter ride from there to the cabin than from here.” By morning the General was able to sit his saddle again, and leaving him with Nob to follow slowly, the others spurred forward, discovered an outlet through the bluff into the valley,and crossed the Santa Fe Trail. it was not easy to discover where those in advance had passed this point, but knees, studied the signs “with the cya- 0! an Indian. tratl 30.
