It seems to me that Mr Smith and Mr. Klbabaw." nodding to the man with the rawhide whip, "are both r1i;ht. What good are we doing bore? What we wuut to know la what' happened to Mr. Harklens. It looks JUHt now like the shell men might bare done It. Let'a find out what they done. Scatter and hunt for blm. Soon aa auy tiling's known for certain Illbbard mill whistle will blow three tlmea. Keep on looking till It does; then," be finished, with a barely perceptible acornful smile at the attorney "then we run decide on what bad ought be done." Six Crossroads lay dark and steum Inn In the euu that morning. The for wna silent, the saloon locked up, the roadway deserted even by the pigs. The broken old buggy stood rotting lu the mud without a single lean little old man or woman-such were the chll dren of the Orosnroada to play about It. Once, when the deputy sheriff rod through alone, a tattered black bound more wolf than dog, half emerged. growling, from beneath one of the tumbledown burns and waa Jerked back Into the durknesa by bla tall, with a snarl fiercer than bis own, while gun bur re 1 shone for a second aa It awung for a stroke on the brute's bead The hound did not yelp or whine when the blow fell. He shut his eyes tw ice and slunk sullenly back to bla pluce. The shanties might hare received volley or two from some of the mount ed bands, exnnperated by futile search Ing, bud not the escape of Horner' prisoners mnde the guilt of the Cross roads appear doubtful In the minds of many. As the morning waned the ad' Tocatea of the theory that the gam Mers bad mnde away with Harklesa jrrew In number. There came a tele gram from the Kouen chief of police that be had a clew to their whereabouts. He thought they had succeeded 1 reaching Kouen, and It began to be generally believed that they had raped by the 1 o'clock freight train. which bad stopped to take on some empty cars at a side track a mile north' west of town, across the fields from the Briscoe house. Toward noon party went out to examine the rail road einliimkment. Men began to come back Into the Til lage for breukfast by twos and threes. but uinuy kept, on searching the woods, not feeling the need of food or caring If they did. Every grove and clump of underbrush, every thicket, waa ran sacked. The waters of the creek, shal low for the most part, but swollen overnight, were dragged at every pool. Nothing wus found. There was not a algn. The bar of the hotel waa thronged 11 morning as the returning citizens rapidly made their way thither, and tluwe who had breakfasted and were going out again paused for Internal aa well aa external re-enforcement. The landlord, himself returned from a long bunt, set out his whlaky with a lavish band. "He was the lewt man we had, boys, aid Lamll as he poured the little glasses full. "We'd ort of sent blm to the legislative bulls of , Washington long ago. He'd of done ua honor there. Hut we never thought of doln any thing fer him. Jest set round and left bint build up the town and give blm empty ttmukyes. Drink hearty, gen tlenien," he Mulshed gloomily. "I don't grudge no liquor today except to Llge Wllletts." "He was a good man," said young n llilam Todd, whose nose was red, not from the whisky. "I've about give up." "It'e goln' to seem mighty empty round here." suid Koss Sohoflekl. "What's golu" to become o the Herald and the party In this district? Where' the man to run either of 'em now? Like as not," he continued desperately, "ii ii go against us in the fall." Dlbb Kane choked over bla four fln gera. "We might's well bust up the dab duxteI ule town ef be'a gone." "I don't know what's come over that Cynthy Tlpworthy." said tire landlord. "Sue's waited table on hltn last two years, and her brother Hud works at the Herald oflh-e. She didn't eay a word, only -looked and looked and looked, like a miry woman; then her and Hud went off together to bunt In the woods. They Jt tuck hold of each other's hands liko" "I reckon there ain't many crazier than tliem two Bowlders, fattier and on," Interrupted a patron, wiping the drops from his beard as be set his glass on tin bar. "They rid Into town like couple of wild Indians, the old man beotlrr that gray mare o thelrn till she was one big wait, and ho ain't natcherly no cruel man either. I ei Kct Uge Wllletts letter keep out of Hartley's way." "I keep out of no man's wayT' cried voice In-hind him. Turning, they saw Llge standing on the threshold of the door that led to the street. In bis hand he held the bridle of the horse he had ridden across the sidewalk and that now stood panting, wl.h lowered head half through the doorway, leslde his master. Llge was listless, splashed with mud from head to foot; bla Jaw waa set, bis teeth ground together, bla eyes burned under red lids, and his balr lay tossed and damp on his brow. "I keep out of no man's way," be re peated hoarsely. "I heard you, Mr. Tlbbs. but I've got too much to do, while you loaf and gns ami drink over Landta' bar. I've got other business than kerpln' out of Hart Bowlder's way. I'm look In' for John Harklesa. )! waa the best man we bad In this "By HOOTH TA.-XK.tStCTOt ijtj -1 S31 McClmrt Cm. hr MtClmrm.

But I'm goln' to find him, and If be'a hurt I'm goln' to have band on the re that lift the men that did It If I have to go to Kouen to put It there. After that I'll answer for my fault, not be fore." He threw hluiself on bis horse and waa gone. Soon the room emptied, as the patrona of the bar returned to the search, and only Mr. Wllkerson and the landlord remained, the bar being the professional ofllce, ao to speak, of both. At 11 o'clock Judge Briscoe dropped wearily from bla horse at bis own gute and said to wan girl who came run nlng down the walk to meet him: "Thero la nothing yet. I Bent the tel egram to your mother to Mra. Sher wood." Helen turned way without answer ing. Her face waa very white and looked pinched about the mouth. She went back to where old Flslwe ant on the porch, his white bend held between his two bunds. He waa rocking him self to and fro. She touched him geu tly. but he did not look up. She spoke to him. "Father," she auid. He did not seem to hear her. "There Isn't anything yet. He sent the telegram. I ahull stay with you now, no matter whut you any." She aat beside him und put her head down on his shoulder, ami. though for a mo ment he appeurd not to notice it, when Minnie came out on th porch, hearing her father nt the door, the old man bad. put his arm about the girl and wus stroking her fulr hair softly. Briscoe glanced at them and ruined warning finger to his daughter, and they went tiptoeing Into the house, where the Judge dropped heavily upon sofa. Minnie stood before blm with look of pale Inquiry, and he shook bis heud. "No use to Ml Mm. but I can't see any hope," be answered her, bltln; nervously at the end of a cigar. "1 ex pect you better bring mo some coffee In here. I couldn't take another step to aave me. I'm tt old to tour around the country horseback before break fast, like I have today." "Did you send her telegram?" Min nie asked ns he drunk the coffee she brought him. She liad interpreted "coffee" liberally and. with the assist ance of Mlldy Upton, whose subdued nose was frankly red and who shod tears on the raspberries, had prepared n appetizing tuble at his elbow. "Yes." responded the Judge, "and I'm glad she Bent It I talked the other way yesterday, what little I said It Isn't any of our business but I don't think any too much of those people somehow. She thinks she belongs with Fisbee, and I guess she's right That young fellow must have got along with her pretty well, and I'm afraid when she gives up she'll be pretty bad over It; but I guess we all will. It'a terribly sudden, somehow, though It's only what everybody half expected would come, only we thought It would come from over yonder." He nodded toward the west. "But she's got to stuy here with us. Bonrdlng at Tlbbs' with that old man won't do, and she's no girl to live In two rooms. You fix It up with her you make her stay." "IShe must," answered his daughter a she knelt beside him and patted his coat and handed hi in several things to eat at the same time. "Mr. Flshce will help me persuade her, now that "Father," the mid. abe's bound to stay In spite of blm and the Shcrwoods too. I've always thought she was grand, ever since she took me Under her protection at school, when I" Minnie was speaking sadly, me chanically, but suddenly she broke off with quick sob, turned to the win dow, then turned again to Briscoe and cried: "I don't believe It: He knew how to take care of himself too well. He'd have got awny from them." Her father shook his head. "Then hy hasn't he turned up? He'd have gone home after the storm if something bad wasn't the mutter." But nothing nothing that bad could have happened. They haven't found any anything." "But why hasn't he come back. child?" Well, he'a lying hurt somewhere. that's all." "Then why haven't they found blm?" "I don't care," she cried nd choked with, the words and tossed her dishev eled hair from her temples, "It Isn't true Helen won't believe It. Whr hould 1? It's only few hours since he waa right bore In our yard talking to us all. I won t believe It till they've rcbed every stick and stone of Six 'rossroada and found him." It wasn't the Crossroads," aaid the old gentleman, pushing the table . uuu remkiiig ui nuibs ou tu sofa. "They probably didn't have any thing to do with it We thought they buil at lirst, but everybody's alxiut come to believe it wus thorn two fel lows that he hud arrested yeslenluy." "It wasu't the Crow-roads"' echoed Minnie, and she U-un to tremble vio lently. "Haveu't they lecu out there yet?" "What list? They are out of It, and , they can thuuk God tiny are." j "They are notr she cried, very much agitated. "They did It. It was tlie White Cups. We saw them, Helen and I." I The Judge got upon his feet with an oath. lie hud not sworn for years un til thut uioruing. "Whut's this?" be suid sharply. "I ought to have told you before, but we were ao frightened, and and you went off In such rush fter Mr. Wiley was here. 1 never dreamed everybody wouldn't kuowr It was the Crossroads; that they would think of any one else. And I looked for tlie scarecrow- us soon aa It was light, and It waa away off from where we saw them and wasu't blown down at all; and Helen suw them In the field besides; suw all of them" He Interrupted her. "What do you liieun? Try to tell me about It quietly. child." He laid bis huud ou her sUottl- der. Hhe told him breathlessly what she and Helen hud scon, and he grew more und more visibly perturbed and un easy, biting his clgur to pieces und groaning at Intervuls, Wheu she hud llnlshed he took a few quick turns about the room, with his bunds thrust deep In his cout pockets, and then, churglug her to repeat the; story to no one, left the houae and, forgetting his fatigue, rapidly crossed the neld to the point where the bizarre figures of the night hud shown themselves to the two girls at the window. The soft ground had been trampled by many feet. The boot prints pointed to the northeast. He traced them back ward to the southwest through the field and saw where they bud come from near the road, going northeast; then, returning, he climbed the fence and followed them northward through the next field. From there the next field to the north, lying beyond the road that waa a continuation of Main street, stretched to the railroad embunhiuont. The track, ruggedly defined In tram pled loura and muddy furrow, Ivetit in direction which indicated that its terminus might be the switch wherf the empty cars hud stood lust uight wailing for the 1 o'clock freight.
