He had t propped ugalnst the water bottle, so hat It need not Interfere with the ransportntlon of sausages, fried pontoes, hot cakes and coffee to their lommoD destination. Trying to do two things at once has ^ ts disadvantages. A startling head- ( lne caught his eyes Just as the cup vns at his Hps. Hot cofTee, preclpl- 1 ately swallowed, scalded his tongue 11 ind throat. He set down the cup. a iwore mildly, and gave his attention o the news that had excited him: "While the citizens of Saguache vere peacefully sleeping last night, a 11 one bandit held up the messengers of he Western & Southern Express com>any, and relieved them of twenty housanj dtd'ars Just received from El 'aso on the Flyer. i 1 "Perry ITawley. the local manager f the company, together with Len toners, the nrmed guard, had Just re- j urned from the depot, where the noney had been turned over to them t nd receipted for. llnwley liad unoeked the door of the otlice and had ^ topped In, followed by Rogers, when masked desperado appeared sudden- ' y out of the darkness, disarmed the unrd and manual r, took the money, ^ >nssec\, through tlie door and locked It v fter htm. and vanished as silently as ie had come. I'.efore leaving, he ^ earned his victims t lint the place ^ foil Id be covered for ten minutes and t any attempt to call for help they j rould be shot. Notwithstanding this, jJ he imprisoned men risked their lives y raising the alarm." p Further down the page Mackenzie t llscovered that the desperado was still t large, hut that Sheriff Itolt expectd shortly to lay hands on htm. He folded the paper and returned to j ils room to make preparation to re- ^ urn to his ranch. The buzz of the t deplume called him to the receiver. j, die voice of Culllson reached him. "That you, Mac? I'll be right up. ' |, Co, don't come down. I'd rather see nil alone." j r The owner of the Circle C came ight to business. "I've made a raise, ' lac, and while I've got it I'm going to h kin off what's coming to you." He had tuken a big roll of bills from v Is pocket, and was counting off what t e had lost to his friend. The lntter lot iced that it all seemed to be in <1 wenties. , I "Twelve hundred. That squares us, f fae." ' ! 1 The Scotsman was vaguely uneasy ' e rlthout a definite reason for his anx- 1 ety. Only Inst night Cullison had told li dm not a single bank In town would dvnnce him a dollar. Now he had v aoney In* plenty. Where bad he got r t? ; Mackenzie's eye fell on a copy of t he Sentinel protruding from the oth- c r's pocket. "Itend about the holdup f the W. & S. express? That fellow b ad his nerve with htm." ( "Sho! This holdup game's the I aslest yet. He got the drop on them, h nd there was nothing to It." * "How did he know there was money ? omlng In last night?" "There's always u leak about things d f that sort. Somebody talks. I knew v t myself, for that matter." v "You knew I Who told you?" t "That's a secret, Mac. Come to f hlnk of It, I wish you wouldn't tell y nyhody that I knew. I don't want to :et the man who told me In trouble." t "Sure I won't." He passed to an- h ther phase of the subject. "The Sen- t Inel says Bolt expects to catch the t obber. Think he will?" t "Not If the fellow knows his buslless. Bolt has nothing to go on. He c ins the whole Southwest to pick from, for all he knows, it was you." t "Yes, but?" ti "Or more likely me." The gray eyes if the former sheriff held a frosty mile. f In spite of tlint smile, or perhaps eeause of It, Mackenzie felt again k hat Hash of doubt. "What's the use ? if talking foolishness, Luck? Course ' ou didn't do it. 1 know von too well." v Hut the trouble was Mackenzie did iot know liiin well enough. Cullisoii ' was hard up, close to the wall, llow ' ar would he go to save himself? In ' lis slow, troubled fashion, Mac wonlered if his old side partner's streak ' f lawlessness would take him as far s a holdup. Of course it would not, ' ic assured himself; hut he could not :ct the ridiculous notion out of his lead. Mackenzie drifted to the courthouse. 1 le found Sheriff Holt In his office. The 0 Scotsman wanted to discuss the rob- " >ery, hut was shy about attacking the object. While lie boggled at it, Holt ' ins off on another tack. n Inside of a qunrter of an hour the herlfT had found out all he wanted to ( now about the poker game, Cullison's Inancial ditliculiies. ami the news that n o Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured r y local applications, aa they cannot reach V ho diseased portion of tlio ar.

Moreover, lie had : ilked so casually that his visitor had j o suspicion of what he was driving t. Mackenzie attempted a little sleuth- I lg of his own. "This holdup fellow Ind of slipped one over on you last ight, Bolt." "Maybe so, and mnybe not." "Got a clue, have you?" "Oh, ye*?yes." The sheriff looked ' tralfc'jl at hlin. "I've a notion his 1 iltlals are L. O." Millie felt himself flushing. "What ' rnkes you think that, Nick?" Bolt walked to a cupboard and untx-ked It. His hack was toward the ! nttlernan, but the latter could see him ske something from a shell'. Turning luickly, the sheriff tossed a hat unou ho table. , 1 "liver see this before?" Mac picked It up. I lis fingers were lot quite steady, for a groat dread trenched his heart like a rush of icy rater. Upon that gray felt hat with ho pinrhed crown was stamped the inllvldunlity?and the Initials?of Luck hilllson. "Don't know as I recognize It." he led. not very readily. "Not to know t. Why?" "Thought perhaps you might know I. The holdup dropped It while geting away." Mackenzie's eyes flinched. "Dropped 1. How was that?" "A nmn happened to come along Snn Ilgucl street Just as the robber swung 0 Ids horse. He heard the cries of lie men inside, guessed what was do* ng. and exchanged shots with the inisrennt. lie shot this hat otY the fel* nw's head." "Who was the man that shot the obiter V" "Cass Fendrlck." "Hut he didn't claim to recognize the loldup?" "Not for certain. He guessed a man those Initials are the same as those in hat hat." "If you mean Luck Culllson, It's a 1 d lie." exploded the cattleman. le was furious with himself, for lie elt now that he had been unsuspectngly helping to certify the suspicions if the sheriff. Like an Idiot, he had et out much that told heavily against lis friend. "I hope so. What about this hat, vlth the two holes shot through the 1m ?" "Sho I We all wear hats Just like hat. Look at mine." Rlllie held it >ut eagerly. "Has yours an L. C. stamped In the weat band?" Bolt asked with a smile. "I know you ain't his friend, Nick, lut you wunt to be fair to him even If io did oppose your election." Mackenle laid an appealing hand on the knee if the man seuted opposite him. 1 Tin sheriff of Papago county. It loesn't make any difference who vorked for or against me, Iiillle. I vus elected, aud I'm going to enforce lie law. By the way, I've got to pay or some supplies this morning. Can ou cush a check for a hundred?" "I reckon so." Mackenzie drew from lis pocket the roll Culllson had given ilm two hours before. He peeled five wenties from it. The sheriff observed hat the prevailing denomination was he same. "CJet these from Luck?" be asked arelessly. The cattleman stared at him, and he suspicion grew on him that he had >een trapped again. "Why do you ask?" "Because It happens the bills stolen rotn the W. & S. were all twenties." , From the olliee of the sheriff, Macirnzle wandered to the club In searcli if Luck. He was thoroughly dispirited, lotli dreaded to meet Luck, and yet ras anxious to do so. Cullison had left the club, but Alec ''landrail was still there. Billle drew lim into a corner, and learned that aick bail just settled with him. "Anyone see him give it to you, Hoc?" "No. He took pie upstairs to the Ihrnry and paid ine." "In hills?" "Yes- in I wenties." "For (Jnil's sake, don't tell anybody hat." In a dozen jerky sentences the iwnrr of the Ffdillehack told Flaudraii if the suspicions of the sheriff. Together they went in search of utek. Hut though they looked for iliii nil <Iny. he was not to he found, 'ho lust that had been seen of him 1 -tick was walking along the plaza oward tlie liotel, not a hundred and Ift.v yards from the latter. A dozen 1 nen had spoken to him In the distance if a block. Rut he had not been seen o reach his hotel. He had not called or Ids room key. Somehow he had anlshed, and none could tell how or rhere. ^ . To Bolt his disappearance -was as ;ood as a confession of guilt, lie earched Luck's room at the hotel. | Linong other things, he found an old invelope with Interesting data pen- ' lied on It. Before nightfall the word was whls- j >ered all over Saguache that Luck lulllson, pioneer cattleman and furrier sheriff,av^rs suspected of the W. k 8. express ^bbery and had fled to ve hluiself f >urrest.

Before twenty- j four hours the gossip was beiug whis- ( tron| pered In the most distant canons :>f ?(| I'apago county. The riders of the g|K... Circle C knew It, hut none of thetu ' v had yet told either Bob or Kate. I^.jl Now It was Friday morning and |,f Knte was beginning to wonder why her father did not cull her up.

Since she 'M> ' wanted to see with her own eyes how " things were getting along nt the canon, she was taking the supplies In person. She rode from sunlight into shadow , and from shadow to sunlight again, . winding along the hill trail that took her toward the Del Oro.
