And Coaley’s better off under the saddle that he fs in the stable, Belle,” He caught Belle in a quick, breath- taking hug, kissed her swiftly on the cheek and went into the house. In the house Lance was kneeling before a trunk. When his fingers, prying deep among his belongings, closed upon the thing he sought, he brought up a binocular, smal! but extremely efficient in their magnify ing power. He slapped them into his pocket. From the mantel in the liv ing room he gleaned a box of car tridges for an extra six-shooter, “The horse and the hat; he thought it was dad he was trailing! he said to himself, with his teeth clamped tight together, “Oh, well, when it comes to that kind of @ gamo—" Ho went out and down to the cor ral, watered Coaley and mounted again.

The rider looked at Lance with red-veined eyes, the inflamed lids showing sleepless nights, “How'r yuh?” he greeted perfunc- torily, as they passed each other. “Howdy,” said Lance imperturb ably, and rode on. Lance's eyebrows pulled together. He had no need of looking back; he had seen a great deal in the, one glance he had given the stranger. He scrutinized the trail, measured with his eyes the size and, the shape of the horse's hoofprints. After a little he deft the wagon road and put Coaley to the steep climb up the trail to the great Tooth of the ridge. He still frowned, still rode with bent head, his eyes on the trail, But now he was alert, con scious of his surroundings, thinking of every yard of ground they cov- ered, At a certain spot a splendid view of the Devil's Tooth ranch was to be Ties’ horse on the ‘Themn's want Lance bit his lp, looking at Bam “You needn't catch up a horse for I'll ride Conley," he said and his father quarreled when Tom Tom might not return very #oon, in which case he anything about He On one of He led Coaley from the box stall where he had never before seen him stand, saddled him, mounted and rede down the trail, following the hoof The tracks led up the road to the For a long way he skirted the rim of rock that edged the sheer He had gone perhaps a mile along the bluff when Coaley began to perk bis ears backward, turning now and Lance was sunk too deep in bitter Introspection to ob serve thene first warning movements He What Dougtas had shouted hoarse He did had, The house ttaeif was hidden in a cottonwood gyove that Belle had planted when she was a bride, but the corrais, the pastures, the road up the Kidgo war plainly visible, Lanes returned by way of the shelf to the outcropping of rocks that would leave no trace of his passing. Two hundred yards away, down the slope and on a small level p| place where the brush grew thick, he found where a horse had stood for »| hours, He looked at the hoofprints, went back for Coaley and rode down the schoolhouse trail again, follow ing the tracks of the fugged black horse, When another 60 yards would bring the basin in sight, Lance turned off the trail, dismounted and went forward slowly, his eyes intent on the topa of the trees around Cot- tonwood Spring. When all of the basin and the grove were revealed to him he stopped, took his amall field glasses from hia pocket, dusted the lenses deliberately and, the glasses to his eyes, swept foot by foot the grove, He was some minutes in discov. ering @ black horse well within the outer fringe of the cottonwoods.
