"That’s the whole story,” repllef the sheriff, staring off toward th< bare horizon, “and the cusses have af least six hours start with fresli

CHAPTER XXXII.
Falrbaln and Christie.
Dr. Falrbaln had originally JolneA the searching party, fully as eager ai Keith himself to run down the rene gade Hawley, but after an hour of ro sulUess effort, his entire thought shift ed to tie woman they had left alone at the hotel. He could not. as yet fully grasp the situation, but he re malned loyal to the one overpowerini truth that he loved Christie Maclalre Fairbaln’s nature was rough, orl& Inal, yet loyal to the core. He hai lived all his life long in army camps and upon the frontier, and his cods of honor was extremely simple. M
never once occurred to him that Chris tie’s profession was not of the highest or that her life and association* In any way unfitted her for the future To his mind she was the one and onlj His last memory of her, as filed out of
“I have told you my name—Jack Keith.” he replied, quietly. "Doctor Fair' ain k"Ows something of me, but Tor your further Information I will add that when we met before I was Captain Keith. Third Virginia Cavalry. And bearing dispatches from Hong st,reet tq StonewalT^acksdh.” *
The gruff old soldier, half-crazed by the news of his daughter's peril, the gleam of his eyes still revealing uncontrolled temper, stared at the younger face fronting him; then slowly he held out his hand.
"‘K^it^—Keith,” he repeated, as tho'ugh bringing back the name with an effort. “By God. that's so—old Jefferson Keith’s boy—killed at An-
tletam. And you know Hope?"
‘Yes, General.”
“Here, Shcrlftl This Is One of Hawiey’s Menl”
He looked about as though dazed, and the sheriff broke In not unkindly.
“Well, Waite. If we are going to search for your daughter we better bo at It- Come on, all of you; Mlss Maclalre will bo safe enough here alone.”
He took hold of Keith’s arm. questioning him briefly as they passed flown the hall. On the stairs the latter took his turn, still confused by what be had Just heard.
“Who Is Miss Maclalre?” ho asked.
“Phyllis Gale.”
“Of course, but who is Phyllis Gale? What has she to do with General Waite? His daughter has told me she never heard of any one by that name.” “Well. Keith, che old man has never
“Sure; it’s clear enough how that came about. The boy told him about the lost heiress his father was searching after, -and showed him his sister s picture. "‘Black Bhrt’ insthntly recognized her resemblance to Christie Maclalre. and thought he saw a good chance for some easy money. He needed the papers, however, to ascertain exactly the t«rms of the will, and what would be necessary for the identification. He never Intended to go into court, but hoped to either get Waite out of the way, or else convince him that Christie was the girl, relying on her graUtude for his profits. When Waite played Into his hands by coming to Carson City the chance was too good to be lost. I’m not sure he meant to kill him. but he did mean to have those papers at any cost Probably you know the rest—the girl wa# easy because she was so Ignorant of her parentage, and nothing prevented Hawley from winning except that Walte got mad and decided to flghK That knocked over the whole thing.
They were outside now, and the first touch of the cool night air, the first glance up and down the noisy street, brought Keith to himself, his mind ready to grapple with the problem of Hope’s disappearance. It seemed to him he had already looked everywhere, yet there was. nothing to do except to continue the search, only more systematically. The sherlL. assumed control—clear headed, and ac-
Scott. He staggered back at the recognition, barely able to ejaculate.
"Here, Sheriff! This is one of Hawley’s men!”
The sheriff was behdlng instafttiy above the jcorpse. searching for the truth.
“You know the fellow?”
“Yes, his name was Scott.’’
“Well, he’s been dead some hour*, at least six I should say; shot just above the eye, and good Heavens! look here, Keith, at the size of this bullet wound; that’s no man’s gun In this country—no more than a ‘32’ I’d

Miss Waite had'a small revolver. She must have shot the tjpllow. But why did they leave the body here to be discovered?”
The sheriff arose to his feet, prowling about In the brightening glow of the dawn.
“They were in a hurry to get away, and knew he wouldn’t be found before morning. A six hours’ start means a good deal. They did drag him back out of sight—look here. This was where th^ struggle toek place, and here is where the man fell,” tracing It out upon the ground. “The girl put up a stiff fight, too^ee where they dragged her up the path. From the footprints there must have been half a dozen In the party. Get back out of the way, Sims, while I follow their trail.”
It was plain enough, now they had daylight to assist them, and led around the edge of the hill. A hundred feet away they came to where horses had

It was a late hour, yet it was hardly likely the woman had retired. Her excitement, her interest in the pursuit would surety prevent that; he was certain he saw a light still burning in her room, as he looked up from the black street below.

seems Mrs. Waite’s maiden name was Plerpont, and when she was seventeen years old she was married to the son of a rich North Carolina planter. The fellow was a drunken, dissolute, good-for-nothing. They had a daughter born—this Phyllis—and when the child was three years old her father. In a fit of drunken rage, ran away, and to spite his wife took the lltUe girl with him. All efforts to trace them failed, and the mother finally secured a divorce and. two years later, married Wlllls Walte.
