Trapping a
Horse Thief
L
By WILLARD BLAKEMAN
A posse consisting of a sheriff and
three men were climbing a canyon In
Colorado. The canyon came to an end
a few hundred yards above them in a
pocket from which there appeared to
be no egress, the sides being perpen
dicular.
Suddenly the men came to a little
cabin perched on a ledge overhanging
the boiling mountain stream zigzagging
down the canyon. A woman, a slat
ternly. ill fnvored creature with tous-
sled hair, was standing beside a board
supported .' -"stakes driven Into tbe

"Is this Jayeox’s cabin?" asked the
•sheriff.
"Yes. What dy’e want with h'm?”
"W ere prospectors and have beard
that he has struck paying dirt In a
hole hereabout. We wouldn't mind
putting up some cash to work It if it
looks well.”
“ Better have nothin' to do with Bill
Javcox. He'd get yer money, and you
wouldn’t get nnytblng.”
The sheriff pricked up his ears at
this, wondering if the woman could be
used to help him land a man wanted
for horse stealing.
"Oh, that’s the kind o f a man be Is.
Is it?”
“There bain't no meaner galoot than

then pulling her dres« down over her
shoulder and showing another bruise
on her back. "Wbat d'ye think of

Up to this moment the sheriff feared
that the woman was playing a part,
with a view to aiding Jayeox to get
a way from them, but this evidence
that the man and the woman were not
living happily together convinced him
that he had found her at an opportune
moment to make her useful. Doubt
less she wished to be revenged for the
hrntal treatment she had received, and
an appeal to her cupidity as well would

“One. Only he and me knows it."
"Suppose you go to him, pretend to

“ I don’t know as I kin find him.”
“Oh, yes, you can. Just as soon as
we git him I’ll gi” e you the rest of tbp

The mention of the gold appeared to
decide tbe woman.

simply waved her band to them and
passed on.

When they had gone as far as pos
sible they saw their quarry sitting on
a stone smoking a cob pipe. They
called on him to surrender, which he
did.
"By thunder." exclaimed one o f the
men who had anproa'-hed the horse
thief with a pair of handcuffs, “it’s the
woman'”
And so it was. She had exchanged
clothes with Jayeox. and It was be who
had passed down the canyon.

of the men. “that It wss a put np Job
