I While Kate listened to what Curly - ;* had.;to tell her the dark eyes of the girl -'were fastened upon the trembling little woman standing near the door. "Do you mean that ,she is going to let my father be killed rather than tell what 3he knows?" Her voice was sharply incredulous, touched with a horror scarcely realized. *!?i don't know anything about it," the haiassed woman iterated. "What's the use of saying that when we know you do?.. And you'll not get out of it by sobbing. ' You've got to talk. You've got to tell?you've Just got to," Kate Insisted. ( ." ' -The little woman shrank before the energy of a passion so vital. No strength was in her to fight. But she could and did offer the Passive resist-' Ilfii'T aDce of obstinate silence. Curly had drawn from his pocket the .... .... newspaper found in the cellar. His eyes had searched for the date line to use as cumulative evidence, but they had remained fastened to one story. Now he spoke Imperatively. "Come here; Miss Kate; I believe this is a message to us." ; "A message?" . ; t v. . "From your father, perhaps." : : "How could it be?" "I found the paper in the cellar where he was. See how some of these words ate scored. Done with a finger nail, looks like."> This was the paragraph upon which . his gaze had fastened, and the words and letters were scored sharply as Bho\wi below, though In the case of single letters the mark ran through them instead of underneath, evidently . .. . that po mistake might be made as to /' which'was meant: f J.

Jack... .of He a ... .R t s now j Saguache locked up pending a disposition of his case succeeded in surprising him r; ? "Read that right ahead." Dick did not quite get the idea, but Kate, tense with excitement, took the .1 envelope and read aloud: "Luck prisoner?Jack of Hearts , , now Saguache?locked up pending . a disposition of his case succeeded in surprising him." She looked up with shining eyes. "He's alive somewhere. We'll save him now." j .Curly spoke to her in a low voice. "You have a talk with Mrs. Wylie oi' . alone. We'll pull our freights. She'll tell you what she knows." He smiled in his gentle, winning way. "She's sure had a tough time of it if ever a woman had. I reckon a little kindness is what she needs. Let her see we're her friends and will stand by her, that we won't let her come to harm because she talks." " * ' It was an hour before Kate joined them, and her eyes, though they were very bright, told tales of tears thai hud been shed. "That poor woman 1 Sko lias told me everything. Father has been down _ ic that cellar for days under a guard. They took him away tonight. She doesn't know where. It was she sent the warnings to Sheriff Bolt. She 1; , wanted him to raid the place, but /She dared not go to him." "Because of Blackwell?" "Yes. He came straight to her -as soon as lie was freed from the penitentiary. He had her completely terrorized. She gave him money, and lie ::!? euuie for more?and more." Curly nodded. He said nothing, but j liis strong jaws clamped. "He was there that day," the girl i - continued. "She plucked up courage to"refuse him what little she had left because she needed It for the rent. lie got hold of her arm and twisted it. Father heard her cry and came in. Blackwell was behind the door as it opened. He struck wilh a loaded entio and father fell unconscious. IU> raised it to strike again, hut she clung to his arm and called for help. Before he" could shake her off aiioiher man came in. 11 e wrenched I he cltib away."

They carried father down into the cellar. Before-he came to himself'his hands were tied behind his back." "And then?" V'They watched him day and nf^ht. Fend rick himself did not go near the place?|f it was Fcndftck. Blackwell swore to kill Mrs. Wylie ff site told. They held him there till tonight. She thinks they were trying to get father to sign some paper." "The relinquishment, of course. That means the other man was Fendrick." ; ' ' Kate nodded, "l'es." * Curly rose: The muscles stood out in his jaw hard us steel ropes; "We'll rake the Itincons with a fine tooth comb. Don't you worry. I've already wired for Bucky O'Connor tc come and help. We'll get your father out of the hands of those hell hounds. I w on t we, luck, t- " The girl's eyes admired hira, a lean, hard-bitten Westerner, with eyes ns unblinking as an Arizona sun and with muscles like wire springs.- His face still held its boyishness, but It had Ins; forever the irresponsibility of u few months before.\ She saw in hira an iron will; shrewdness, courage and resource. Oat of ten thousand men there were none whose voice drummed on her heartstrings as did. that of this youth.' ' * ? ? - * Two men sat in a log cabin on opposite sides of u cheap tuble. One of them was immersed -In a newspaper. His body was relaxed',.his mind apparently at ease. The other watched him' malevolently. His tingers caressed the handle of a revolver that protruded from the holster at his side. He would have liked nothing better than to have drawn it and sent a bullet crashing into the unperturbed brain of his prisoner. Thcre ^yere reasons of; policy, y/hy J It were better to curb this Casclnatiug [ desire, but sometimes tb.e impulse to kill surged up almost uncontrollably. On these occasions Luck Culllson was usually "deviling" him, the only diversion that had been open to the ranchman for some days past. From time to time as Luck read he commented genially on the news. Black well merely scowled. Given his way, Culllson would nor be here to read the Sentinel. But the brains of the conspiracy had ruled otherwise and insisted, too, upon decent treatment With one ankle securely tied to a leg of the table there was no danger in freeing the hands of the cattleman, hut his husts saw that ntever for an in| stant were hands and feet at liberty together. For this man was not the one j with whom to take chances. Cullison rend on: I " 'Lieutenant O'Connor of the Arl| zona rangers left town today for a short trip into the liilis, where he exj pects to spend a few days hunting.' j Hunting what, do you reckon? Or j hunting who. I should say. Ever meet Bucky O'Connor, Blackwell? No, I reckon not. He's since your time. A erackerjack, too! Wonder if Bucky ain't after some friends of mine?" "Shut up," growled the other. I "Sure ycm'll shut up?when Bucky I lands 011 you." retorted Luck cheerfuli ly. Then, with a sudden whoop: "Hello, here's a personal to your address. Listen. 'The friends of L. C. serve notice "that what occurred at the Jack of Hearts is known. Any violence . hereafter done to him will be paid for j to the limit. No guilty man will escape.' So the boys are getting busy. I figured they would be." ! The former convict leaned forward j angrily. "Loimne see that paper." His guest handed it over, an index finger pointing out lite item. "Large as life. Blackwell. No, sir. Tou ce'tginl.v didn't ride herd'proper on that I opportunity." "Don't bo loo sure us gone, Sheriff." "They've got you dead to rights. It cad rliat personal again. Learn it by heart. 'The J'rieuds of L. C. give warning.' You better believe they're rounding up your outfit. They know I'm alive. They know nil -about the .lack of Hearts. Pretty soon they'll kiuiw where you've got ine hidden." "You'd belter pray they won't. For if ihoy iiiid the nest it will he empty. : Look out of that window behind you." Luck turned. The cabin was built on a ledge far up on the mountainside. From the hack wall sloped for a hundred feet an almost perpendicular slide of rock. I "There's a prospect hole down there," I'lackwcll explained savagely, i "You'd go down the Devil's Slide? 1 what's left of you. 1 mean?deep into I that prospect hole. The timberings are rolled ami the whole top of the working ready to cave in. When your hotly hits it there will be an avalanche j ?willi Mr. Former-Sheriff Cullison at j the bottom of it. You'll ) bp buried! [ without tiny funeral expenses, and ij j reckon your friends will never know . i where.lu put lite. headstone." The thing was devilishly simple and feasible. Luck, still looking out of the window, felt the blood run cold down his spine, for he knew this fellow would never stick at murder if he felt it would be safe. "So you see I'm right; -you'd better pray your friends won't And you. They can't reach here without being heard. If they get to hunting these hills you sure want to hope they'll stay cold, for just as soon as they get warm it will be' the signal for you to. shoot the chutes." :-):Luck met his triumphant savagery, with "-an impassive face. "Interesting if true. And where will you be when, ray friends arrive? I reckon It won't be a pleasant ineetipg for Mr. Black-' welLV ??rir be headed for Mexico. I tell you because you ain't liable to go around spreading the news. * There'sa horse saddled in the dip back of the hill crest Get it?" 1 | From far below there came through tl^ open window the faint click of a horse's- hoofs ringing against the stones In the dry bed of a river wash. Swiftly Biackwell moved to the door, taking down a rifle from its rack as he did so. Cullison rose noiselessly in his chair. If it came to the worst he meant to shout aloud his presence and close with- this fellow. Hampered as he was by the table, the man would get him witliout question.. But if he could-only sink.his fingers into that hairy throat while there was still life in him he could promise that the Mexican trip would never take place. Biackwell, from -his piace by the door, could keep an eye both on his prisoner and on a point of the trail far below where horsemen must pass to reach the cabin. r A rider came Into sight and entered the mouth of the canyon. He was waviDg a white handkerchief. The man in the doorway'answered the sif* al. "Not your friends this time. Mr. Sheriff," B!a<;kwel] jeered. "I get a stay of execution, do I?" The cool drawling voice of the cattleman showed nothing of the tense feeling within. He resumed his seat and the reading of the" newspaper. Presently, to the man that came oyer the threshold he spoke with a casual nod. "Morning, Cass;" " Fendrick mumbled a surly answer. The manner of Ironical comradeship his captive chose to employ was more than an annoyance. To serve his ends It was necessary to put the fear of death Into this man's heart, which was a thing he had foUnd impossible to do. The logic of circumstances was driving the sheepman into a corner. He had on impulse made the owner of the r? ' 1 "Not Your Friends This Time, Mr. Sheriff." Circle C his prisoner. Seeing him lie there unconscious on the lloor of the Jack of Hearts, it had, come to him in a flash that he might hold him and force a relinquishment of the Dei Oro claim. His disappearance would ex- , plain Itself if the rumor spread that he was the W. & S. express robber. Cass had done it "to save himself from : the ruin of his business, hut already ne nau regretted iiimy ifiuca. j.wn.-?n.s> could not move Luck in the least. He ' was as hard as iron. So the sheepman found himself between the upper and the nether mill stones. He could not drive his pris j oner to terms and he dared nut relonsi ( him. For if Cullison went away tin pledged he would surely send liiiri t< the penitentiary. Nor could he hole him a prisoner indefinitely. He line* seen the "personal" warning in botl the morning and the afternoon papers ( He guessed that the presence of tin . ranger, Bucky O'Connor, in Sngunchi < was not a chance. The law was clos j ing In on him. Somehow Cullison mus; , be made to come through with a ri- i linquishment and u pledge not tj 1 prosecute. The only other way on; ' would be to let Blackweil wreak hi? hate on the former sheriff. From thi: : he shrank with every instinct. For: J drick was a hard man. He wouh i linve fought it out to a finish if nee < essary. I5ut murder was a tiling In J could not do. "Price of sheep good this week?" Cullisoti asked amiably. ; "I didn't come here to discuss fir price of sheep with yon." Fendrir! j spoke harshly. "Are you going to sig; i this reliiiqulslmicnt?" Luck's face showed a placid sum- 1 prise. "Why no, Cass. Thought J mentioned that before." "You'd better." The sheepman* harassed face looked ugly enough tY anything. "Can't tigure it out thai way." i "You've got to sign it. IJy G . you've no option." " * ini "No?" Still with pleasant lucre- $5 hilitv. ^ "Think I'm going to let you pet ? iway from here now? You'll sign and _ ou'll promise to tell nothing you know f against- us." ? Luck's answer came easily.and lightly. "My friend, we've already tils cussed that point." "Yon won't,change your tnlnd?", . j:' "Your urguments don't justify It pj Cass." . . . la; The sheepman, looked at. him with a sinister significance. "Good enough pi I'll bring you one that will Justify It ei muy p-onto." , - i - 01 ht (To, be Continued). ===== -pi - i Y FEW DOCTORS USE THEM. " Dry Figures Show. Only Small Number j,, of Physicians Issue Liquor Permits. rj Out of 162,627 physicians in the It United States only 33,379 are holding f: permits which allow them to' prescribe e1 whisky, according to statistics gather- J'1 ed by the dry headquarters in Wash- 81 ington. In twenty-four states the phy- '-e sicians hold no permits to prescribe II- t"j quor, and druggists cannot fill pre- y( scriptions for whisky or brandy. T "These facts and the' laws of the , t] states answer completely the charge G that the Volstead act is drastic in this l respect," said Wayne B. Wheeler, of the _ Anti-Saloon League, last week. _ "It will take some time doubtless in the other states to educate public sen- K tlmcnt to realize there are proper substitutes for whisky which have greater medicinal values. Many physicians who ffold. these permits' admit they rarely prescribe whisky except when the patient insists upon it. It is clear that whisky Is losing out not only as a nc beverage, but as a bona fide medica- fo rant" , . S ' * N When Legislators Worked.?Just ci eighty years' ago, B. F. Perry, then Iu member of the house of representatives r? from Greenville county in the South m Carolina legislature, wrote to his wife: ^ "We are working very hard in the yc legislature. Yesterday the house met th at 10 o'clock in the morning and we y? sat there till 5 o'clock in the evening _ without leaving our scats scarcely; we then went to the tavern and ate dinner and came back half after six at night, and sat till two o'clock this | morning without leaving the house. This makes; .about fourteen hours we sat in one day.". Nor was this in'the closing days of ^ the session. The subject under con- hi slderation was the military' bill and pr it was passed before the legislators li( quit. y. In those days members of the legis- vv ature couldfi't come home for the ar week-end. 1 There was no railroad. m . .ie;i. ... ,,, , , ar i lie journey to iij-ccnvuie couiu uv ^ made only ""by, stage coach. Legisla- ar tors stayed ln; Columbia, worked every tie day of the week, got tht job done well and then cyjit. - tu What schedule the present legisla- dl ture is working on we don't know, but it is probable that it isn't working on a six day basis or anywhere near a 14-hour day'fat any time save in the last day or .two of the session. _ MERE MENTION President-Wilson has refused to commute the ten-year sentence of Eugene <5 V.
