Suddenly he laughed. He had
only been half listening to her
wordi, for he waa suddenly aware
that Sally was an uncommonly
handsome woman and trial tnere
might be far worse things than an
alliance with her.
"Whv." he acreed sardonically.
"now that you put it that way, It
may be that you're right. I've been

reckless eves the same vibrant
threat and oromlse that had at
tracted her to Blaine Bhepley. But
It was lar too soon ror tnat.
"Equally? Well, we" have to
see about that. The Question right
now is whether or not you can
find our friend Melsendorf 's money.

He shook his head slowly. "All
I know about the Santa, Fa trail
Is that it goes through about eight
hundred miles of country that Ood
made ana men lorgot and there's
town named Westport at this
end and a place called Santa Fe
at one ouier. how aoout your map?
Can you tell anything from that?"
Sallv ahruffeed her white shoul
ders helplessly. "It doesn't tell me
a lot," she admitted. "However , . .
She fumbled In her reticule and
brought up the soiled, crumpled
scrap of paper that had already
cost three men their lives. "Here
It is."
Clay unfolded it slowly and stu
died it carefully.
"Did Shepley or Andre tell you
anything at all about where this
spot was located?" he asked.
"A little," she said. ' "but only
a very little. Blaine said it was
between the Arkansas and the Clm
aroon, at a olace they call the
tiomaaa aei Muerto."
Clay grinned at her, eonsidsiinr
her information.
"The Journey of the Dead." he
translated. "Well, it has a likely
sound, anyway. Ill inquire around
a nttie ana see wnst i can find out.
In the meantime, I'd keep this out

She returned the map to her
reticule and rose to hr feet,
straightening her skirt and her pet-
ucoata aoout ner.
"It's all arranged then. Isn't It?1
she asked, smiling. "You are go
ing to heln me. and we'll both wind
up very rich and famous In the new
lands on the frontier?"
He bowed mettculotly over her
outstretched hand and smiled back
at her as he lifted his head.
"We wlH undoubtedly -wind up,
