I'm liul .-'lie ,m'1 -..hat it is. T here i
soiaething doing I don't savez. some
big deal on foot that's not on the level.
Sam is in it up to the hocks, lie is

for good. I'.ut I ki' .w better."
White to the lips, she faced him
bravely. "W'h.tt -ort of trouble is he
leading Sam into?"
"I've gut a hind of notion. P.ut It

to visit on the l'mirth."
"I'll look you mi. Trouble Is that
Sam is bent on ruining himself. Seems
to think Soapy is his best friend. If

might work out all right."
While she climbed the hill to Sam,
Curly watered his horse oud smoked
a cigarette. He was not hired to
chtiperone lovers. Therefore, It took
him three-quarters of au hour to reach
the scrub pine belt ou the edge of the

red, and she was still dabbing at them
with her handkerchief when he came
whistling along. Sam looked discour
aged, but stubborn. Very plainly they
had been disagreeing about his line of
conduct.
The two young men took the trail
again. Ahout noon the next day they
reached Saguache. After thfy had
eaten, Curly strolled off by himself to
the depot.
'(limine a ticket for Tin Cup for this
evening. I want to go by the express,"
he told the agent.
