Dalton was a swaggering yotpig rascal, with a lot of life and good looks, and no heart to speak of. It was that,^ I think that attracted her. Sh© was used to being courted. “After Dalton left her she had a baby girl. Whether it was his or not, she didn’t know for certain. She’d known him that short a time. It in terfered with her work, so ihe sent k away to be cared for, shrit H out of her life and forgot alwut it. as she tried to forget about Dalton. “Then the met a rancher named Gwens, who was taking up a grating claim on the Nevada side, south of the Carson Valley. So she married Owens, and went with him to Nevada, to settle down and be a faithful wife. “Her marriage to Owens was un happy. He was ungenerous and un sociable—almost a miser. The ranch was a day's journey from any neigh bor. No one, hardly, came near it. ^He was jealous of that old life of hers—had suspected, when be married her, what it been. 'He woriced the ranch himself, so there was no one to talk to but him, and he didn’t talk. “One night in'SUittfner, when Owens had watered the stock and she ~was watching him for tbe^mptieth time draw a lamp alongside tl^ table, fix the wick and read some month-old new^pers, she heard a faint tapping on the door. She opened it, and there stood a visitor. For her! “A little visitor abput three years _old, and small for her age. with a '^cute, solemn baby face, and wet eyes blinking in the lamplight, looking lost. “ ‘Nice mans said you know where is my'IhKldy?' “The woman gave a smothered cry and gathered the child hungrily in her arms, n<Jt asking yet how nor why it had come there. “Owens lit a lantern to go out and see who had brought the little one to the door. The rjder was out of eat- shot now, but on tile porch was a aack of gold and a note saying, ‘This baby wan<S^red off a train daring a bold-up. ,Keep hef till the posse comes looking for her. The gold is from the robbed tarin, and is youm if you want psjr for your trouble.' “That was all.

Fallon half-reclined in his-chair, in a smouldering silence— the sheathed fire of one who holds time to take stdek of Owens’ charac ter and of his own position. As the pursuit died .away and no word came from Reeves, Dalton realized that his partner had deserted him. He had also done some thinking about the way the posse had l^n mistracked. "Dalton proposed staying at the ranch as a hired man until the trail was cold, and calling himself the fath er of the little ‘boy.’ The very dar ing of the scheme would protect them. “Though the police had given up hope of finding the lost child, there was no slacking in the hunt for the tht-ee road agents involved in the kill ing of the Federal marshal, and Dal ton knew that there would be none. “Deciding to leave the country, he demanded a grubstake from Owens, to take him prospecting in the North. rancher grudged the money, but was anxious to get rid of him. j “Owens’ jealousy got worse after the man sms gone. In his brooding rages, he spoke of Dalton’s willing ness to appear as the child’s father as if thal were a deeper sign of un derstanding between them. His fury drove him to charges that may have bordered on a truth he didn’t know. “He gave her such a terrible time that ftnally she left him and her adop- ted baby, and went back to her old life, where I found her, in the dregs of it. Some years later I came into Car- son City, just before the rumor Ibroke about the big gold atrike in the North. waiting and ready were pulling stakes for San Francisco and the first steam ers. Owens beat the gun by starting ahead of them and showed that he’d had a definite lead on something. “I caught a train for Seettle, and overtook Fallon’s steamer there.” He was wary enough to koep Owens but of my way. Pete avoided me of her own accord. My talking to Fallon may have given her the idea I was A friend of his, and she mistrusted him by instinct. "Fallon started the rancher Owens drinking and gambling—a first sign that he had gueased true about the gold. That it wins true, I made sure in a more direct way.” Wade rose to object. “Your Honor,” he said, “I have list ened to the witness' vivid story with out offering objection till now. I feel it my duty, as counsel for the Crown, to object to it as theoretical and move that it be thrown out.” Judge Dugas lo<^ed reflectively at Eoee. “How did you prove, Miss Val ery, that there was a gold mine at stake?” Ckintinued naat week spending a few days hero.
