stars burning overhead Trainmen lit the few smoking oil lamps screwed against the sides of the car and its little more than became occupants dim shadows All by this time were fatigued into sllenceand several were asleep finding such small comfort as waa possible on the cramped seats toward the heretofore Hope glanced noisy group at the rear — the girl nearest her rested with unconscious head of her pillowed upon the shoulder man friend and both were sleeping How haggard and ghastly the worn-- face looked with the an's powdered light just above it and all semblance of joy gone It was as though a mask bad been taken off Out in the darkness the engine whistled sharply and then came to a bumping stop at some desert station the black Through window a few lanterns could be seen flickering about and there arose the sound of gruff voices speaking The sleepers inside aroused by the sharp stop rolled over and swore seeking Then the front door easier postures opened and slammed shut and a new passenger entered He came down the aisle at the glancing carelessly upturned faces and finally sank Into the seat directly opposite Hope He was a broad shouldered man his coat to the throat with strong buttoned face beneath the showing clearly broad hat brim and lighted up with a pair of shrewd kindly eyes The conductor came through nodded at him and passed on Hope thought be must be some official of the road and to break the prolonged siventured lence with a question: “Could you tell me how long It will be before we reach Sheridan?’’ She had partially pushed aside her veil In order to speak more clearly and the man turnlDg at sound of her voice took off his hat his searching eyes quizzical I can't “Well no madam’ the words coming with a Jerk “For I’m not at all sure we'II keep the track Ought to make It In an hour however If everything goes right Live in Sheridan?” She shook her head uncertain bow frankly to answer “No loss to you — worst place to live in on earth— no exceptions — I know — been there myself three months — got Irienda there likely?” "I hardly know" she acknowledged “I think so but I shall doubtfully have to hunt some place in which to stay tonight Can you tell me of some — some respectable hotel or boarding house?” The man wheeled about until he could look at her more clearly “That’s a pretty hard commission Miss” he returned uneasily "There but may be such a place In Sheridan I Old Mother ave never found It Shattuck but she keeps roomers won't have a woman In the bouse reckon you'll have to try it at the hotel— I’ll get you In there If I have to mesmerize the clerk— you’ll find It a bit noisy though" I don't "Oh I thank you bo much mlud the noise so it is respectable” lie laughed good humoredly "Well I don’t propose to vouch for that— the proprietor ain’t out there I reckon for Bis health — but you won’t have no serious trouble — the woman a good boys mostly know whea they see one — which Isn’t often —an ’bow they’re liable to be decent enough as long as I vouch for you” "But you know nothing of me” “Djn’t need to — your face is enough — I’ll get you the room all right" She hesitated then asked: with "Ark you — are you connected the railroad?” "In a way yes —I’m the contract surgeon — had to dig a bullet out of a tender back yonder— fellow bowled as though I was killing A C MoClurg him — no nerve — mighty poor stuff moat of the out here — ball wasn’t In much below the skin — Indian must have plugged him from the top of the bluff— blame good abot too —ragged looking slug — like to see It?” She shook her head energetically "Don’t blame you — nothing very uncommon — get a dozen cases like ft a In Sheridan day sometimes— stay show you something worth while — very pretty surgical operation — come round and get you If you care to see it— got to open the stomach — don’t know what I'll find— like to go?” "Ob no! I’m sure you mean It all but— but I would rather not” kindly "Hardly supposed you would — only knew one woman who cared for that sort of thing much — she was nursing for me during the war — had a hair Up and an eye like a dagger — good nurse though — rather have your kind Could me —ever nurse any? round get you a dozen jobs in Sheridan-n- ew prospects every night — fifty dolwhat week— do you say?” lars a "But I’m Dot seeking work Doctor” amillng In spite of her bewilderment "I have money enough with me" "Well I didn’t know — thought maybe you wanted a Job and didn’t like to ask for It— have known ’em like that — no barm done — if you ever do want anything like that just come to me — my name’s Falrbain— everybody Co Drafts drawn on all the principal cities of the United States and Europe Banting la all its various forma Accounts Respectfully Solicited Four per cent interest paid on time deposits WOJ Bendhis charge to the clnderB below ing before her and butting his great shoulders into the surging crowd he succeeded a in pushing passage thus finally bringing her through forth to the edge of the street "Hey there” be said shortly grabIndividual by the bing a arm “Where’s Charlie?"' The fellow looked at him wonder lngly Oh you mean the ‘Kid?’ "Charlip? Well he ain’t here bad a weddln’ an’ bridal Is totin’ the couple ’round" Falrbain swore discreetly under his breath and cast an uncertain glance at the slender figure shrinking beside him The streets of Sheridan were not over pleasant at night “Only hack In town Is somewhere ”1 else Miss" he explained briefly reckon you and I will have to hoof it” He felt the grip of her fingers on hie sleeve "The boys are a little qolsy but It’s Just their way — don’t mean anything— you haDg on to me an’ keep the veil down — we’U be there in the shake of a dog’s tail" He helped her over the muddy crossing and as they reached a stretch of board walk began expatiating on the various places lining the way “That’a the ’Mammoth’ over there— dance hall back of It— biggest thing west of the Missouri— three men killed ’em play? All right Just thought I’d ask you — it’s early anyhow and things wouldn’t be goin’ very lively yet Say there you red head what are you trying to do?” The fellow had lurched out of the crowd in such a manner aa to brush partially aside the girl’s veil pen mitting the glare of "Sheeny Mike’a" lights to fall full upon her revealed face It was accomplished so openly as to appear planned but before be could reel away again Fairbaln struck out and the man went down With an oath he waa on his feet and Hope cowered back against her protector Each man bad weapons drawn the crowd scurrying madly to keep out of the line of fire when with a stride a new figure stepped quietly in between them Straight as an arrow broad shouldered aa a yet small waisted woman his hair hanging low over his his face smooth shaven and except for a long moustache emotionless the revolvers In his belt untouched he simply looked at the two and then struck the revolver out of the drunken man’s band It fell harmless to the ground “And don’t you pick It up until I tell yon Scott” be said quietly “If you do you’ve got to fight me" Without apparently giving the fellow another thought he wheeled and faced the others “Oh It’s you is It Doctor? The drunken fool won’t make any more trouble Where were you taking the lady?” “To the hotel Bill"' I reckon "I’ll walk along with you the boys will give us plenty of room" He glanced over the crowd and then more directly at Scott '‘Pick up your gun!” the brief words snapping out “This Is the second time I’ve caught you hunting trouble The next time you are going to find it I saw you run Into this lady— what did you do it for?” “I only wanted to see who she was aa SAUSAGE Freik and MEATS GROCERIES Frost The White G- - W LONG COFFINS and CASKETS and Burial Supplies- kept in stock at my store imported from leading deal- - j ers You can examine the goods and make seletion at any moment Call in and see my stock of burial goods PFPETERSON Furniture Store NlietnMSSIOetMMtMmMMIOtOSHtlHSSNtlHJ Sf LUMBER LUMBER j Nephi Plaster Portland Cement and a fine line of Builders Hardware 3 Doors w 9 Windows Phone 16 Black Moulding e JOHN ARNESON LUMBER CO marshal turned his eyes toward and then back upon Scott evislightly Interested “So?
