Curly has been aroused of that Bar Double M horse rustling hack In the early summer. I did that job. He was not one of us. You hear, hoys. Curly whs not In It." A quarter of an hour Inter he died. He had lied to save from the penitentiary the lud who had brought about his death. Curly knew why he had done It because he felt blinself to blame for the affair. Maybe Bad Bill had been a desperado, a miscreant according to the usual standard, but when It came to dying he knew how to go better than tunny a respectable citizen. Curly stole off Into the darkness so Hint the hoys would not see him play the baby. dls-appe- ar CHAPTER X. The Prodigal Son. They found the prodigal son with his sister and Laura Loudon at the Del Mar. Repentance was writ large all over his face and manner. From Davis and from the girls he hfitj heard the story of how Soapy Stone had Intended to destroy him. 11U acherae of life hud been broken Into pieces and he was a badly shaken young scamp. When Luck and Curly came Into the room he jumped up, very white about the lips. Father I" My boy !" Culllson hnd him by the hand, one arm around the shaking shoulders. What what ? Sams question broke down, but his father guessed It. Soapy and Bad Bill were killed, Dutch U a prisoner, and Blackwell escaped. All Spring Valley Is out after him." The boy shuddered and drew a long sobbing breath. I've beeu a fool, father and worse." Forget It. son. Well wipe the slate clean. I've beeu to blame, too. It was no place for outsiders. Curly bent a retreat Into the next room. The young women followed him. Both of them were frankly weeping. Arms twined about each others waists, they disappeared Into an adjoining bedroom. Don't go," Kate called to him over her shoulder. Curly aat down and waited. Fres-enlKate came back alone. Her shining eyes met his. "1 never was so happy in all my life before. Tell me what happened everything, please." As much as was good for her to know Curly told. Without saying u word she listened till be was through. At la6t ahe spoke In a low, sweet voice. What can we do for you? First you save father and then Sam. You risked everything' for my brother to win him back to us, to save his life and now his reputation. If you had been killed people would always have becked you were one of the gang." Sho! That's nonsense. Miss Kate.

Scattered about lay the feathers and dismembered bones of some you thinking things that aint so, because " Because ? She lifted her eyes and met his, Then she knew It had to come out, that the feeling banked In him would overflow In words. Because youre the girl I love." He had not Intended to say it now, lest he might seem to be urging bis serv ices as a claim upon her. But the worfls had slipped out In spite of 'him. She held out her two hands to him with a tittle gesture of surrender. The light of love was In her starry eyes. And then She was In his arms, and the kisses he had dreamed about were on bis lips, Yes? CHAPTER XI. Cutting Trail. Kate Culllson hod disappeared, had gone out riding one morning and at As the nightfall had not returned. hours passed anxiety at the Circle C became greater. Mebbe she got lost," Bob suggested. Her father scouted this as absurd. You dont reckon a cougar began Sweeney, and stopped. Luck looked at his old rider with eyes In which little cold A human cougar. devils sparkled. Ill bet. This time Ill take his hide off Inch by Inch while hes still living." You thinking of Fendrick? asked Sam. Youve said It." Sweeney considered, rasping his I dont reckon Cass stubbly chin, would do Miss Kate a meanness. Hes white man, say the worst of him. But It might be Blackwell. When lust seen he was heading Into the hills. If he met her " A spasm of pain shot across Lucks face. Sly (Jod ! By gum. there he Is now, Luck. Sweeneys Anger pointed to an admiring rider. Culllson swung ns on a pivot In time to see some one drop Into the dip In the road, Just beyond the corral. Who Blackwell? No. Cass." Fendrick reappeared presently and turned In at the lane. Culllson, standing on the porch at the head of the steps looked like a man who was passing through the Inferno. But he looked, too, a personified day of Judgment untempered by mercy. The sheepman looking spoke, straight a.t his foe. Ive just heard the news. I was down at Tester's ranch when you phoned asking If they had seen nnythlng of Miss Culllson. I came up to ask you one question. When was she seen last? About teu oclock this morning. Why? I saw her about noon. She was on Mesa Verde, headed for Blue canon, It looked like." Close enough to speak to her? Sam asked. Yes. We passed the time of day. "And then? Luck cut back into the conversation with a voice like a file. She went on toward the gulch and I kept on to the ranch. The last I saw bandy-legge- d - birds. Cass stooed and picked up some of the feathers. Qualls, I reckon. Miss Culllson had three tied to her saddle horn when I met her." "Why did she come up here to cook them? Sam asked. Luck was already off his horse, quartering over the ground to read what It might tell him. She wasnt alone. There was a man with her. See these tracks?" It was Fendrick who made the next discovery. He had followed a draw for a short distance and climbed to s little mesa above. Presently he called to Culllson. Father and son hurried toward him. The sheep owner was standing at the edge of a prospect bole pointing down with his finger. Some one has been In that pit recently, and he's been there several days. Then how did he get out?" Sam asked. Fendrick knelt on the edge of the pit and showed him where a rope had )een dragged so heavily that It had ent deeply Into the clay. Some one pulled him out." Whats It mean anyhow? Kate r wasnt In that hole, was she?" Cass shook his head. This is my guess. Some one was coming along here In the dark and fell In. Suppose dlss Culllson heard him calling as she came up the gulch. What would she . do? Come up and help the fellow out." And If he was hungry as he likely was she would cook her quail for film." And then? Why didnt she come home? Luck turned a gray agonized face on him. Boy, wlont yoir see? Theban was Blackwell." , "And If youll put yourself In Blackwells place youll see that he couldnt let her go home to tell where she had soon him," Fendrick explained. Then where Is she? What did he do with her? 'Tie may have shot her when ho got good chance, but I dont think so. Ho would keep her for a hostage as long as he could."-"Thathe way I figure It, agreed Culllson. He daren't hurt her, for he would know Arizona would hunt him down like a wolf If he did. Then wheres he taking her? Sam asked. Somewhere Into the hills. Ills Idea will be to slip down and cut across the line into Sonora. Hes a rotten bad lot, but he won't do her any harm unless hes pushed to the wall. The fear of Luck Culllson Is In his heart. "Thats shout It, nodded Luck. "Hes somewhere In these hills unless hes broken through." Theres a chance hell make for one of hiy sheep camps to lay In a supply. Wouldnt It be a good Idea to keep a man stationed at each one of them?" Youre talking sense," Culllson approved. Sam, ride back and get In touch with Curly. Tell him to do that. And rouse the whole country over the wire. Well run him down and feed him to the coyotes." "Sure she would. ts CHAPTER XII. A Good Samaritan. Fendrick had guessed the exact truth. After leaving him Kate had ridden, forwardta the esnonand entered y -- . It. She did not mean to go much farther, but she took her time. More than once she slipped from under a fold of her waist a letter and sentences of It. Whenever she did this her eyes smiled. For It was a love letter from Curly, the first she had ever hnd. It had been lying on the tuner edge of the threshold of her bedroom door that morning when she got up. and she knew that herjover had risen early to put It there unnoticed. Faintly there came to her a windswept sound. She pulled up and waited, but no repetition of It reached her ears. But before her pony had moved re-rea- d The Kisses He Had Dreamed About. ef her she was going straight on. We'd belter, travel over toward Mesa Verde, so as to be ready 'to start at daybreak." , Culllson's gaze had never left hhu. It observed, weighed, appraised. Good enough. Well start. .He left Sweer.ey to answer the telephone while he was away. All of his other riders were already out combing the lolls under the supervision of Curly. Luck tied waited with Suns a dozen steps she stopped him again. This time she was almost sure of a far cry, and after It the bark of a "revolver. With the touch of a rein she guided her horse toward the sound. It might memYnothlng. On' the other hand it might be a call for help.
