They are still drunk and asleep back there, I reckoa. Now we're got to throw tbem off the trail." He grasped Iter bridle rein, the two horses moving forward at a walk, circling to the gt of the stone marker. A hundred feet beyond, the faint sound of the horses' hoofs gave evidence that they passed along a narrow ridge of rock. Suddenly Kelleen came to a pause, leaning forward In the saddle to see more clearly. Tou have no memory of how things are here?" he asked. "No; only that the springs are over to the left yonder." "Then listen ; there Is an outer opening of rock which swerves here to the right, snd runs almost directly east for two hundred yards. Follow that carefully; go just as far as possible, and then wait there for me. There Is no danger, so you keep close to the rocks. Keep to the center so the horse will leave no Imprint." "And what are you going to do?" "Ride straight ahead down the trail; then circle back through a gully, and meet you out yonder. Don't be afraid; just wait.

The Instrument is duly recorded, but the original remains safely in possession of the judge." "Is that regular?" "Perhaps so; not being a lawyer, I can only guess at the regularity. Of course it will have to be produced in court for final settlement of the estate; but I don't think they anticipate tony serious questioning as to the validity of the document." "Could It be contested?" "The widow could claim her dower rights." "But Mrs. Meager would not dare. She is an Invalid, and In deadly fear of her stepson."
