Du Sang had the sidewise gait of a

of gratitude,’’ he added, “and I am

“I know nothing about those mat-

Dicksie nodded naively. "With that

"With any horse—I know that,” said
McCloud, keeping at her side.
"But I can't let you ride back with

looking directly at McCloud for the

When she checked Jim she had rid-

roads ahead of her parted to lead
down the river and over the Elbow
Pass to Medicine Bend, she halted
within a clump of trees almost where
she had flrst seen McCloud. Beyond
the Mission mountains the sun was
setting in a fire like tflat which glowed
under her eyes. She could have
counted her heart beats as the crimson
ball %ank below the verge of the hori-
zon and the shadows threw up the sil-
ver thread of the big river and deep-

observers and astronomers compute.
Calculations made in the latitude

justment made accurate again.
The eclipse as visible from
part of the country was total. Luna

total. The earth did not actually
intervene between the sun and moon
but the shadow of the earth is ex

that shadow luna rode.
The copper colored reflection was
due to the fact that all the violet,
indigo and blue rays of the sun are
absorbed by the earth's atmosphere
and nothing is left except the red.
fiery light, to be reflected from the
cold surface of the moon.
On November 27 there will be an-

even longer duration than that of

after milnight. A slight and

McCloud opened the drawer of the
table and took from it a revolver.
Whispering Smith reached out his
hand for the gun, examined it, and
handed it back.
"You don’t like ft."
Smith smiled a sickly approbation.

"But, by heaven, George," exclaimed
Smith, speaking with unaccustomed
fervor, "Miss Dicksie Dunning to a
hummer, isn't she? That child will
have the whole range going la another
year. To think of her standing up
and lashing her cousin in that way

“Where did you hear about that?”

“I will loosen up in the way yon do.

waiting for the second shot. Why
didn't he fire again?"
“Doubtless he thought be had you

to start after you is not used to shoot

thought you were falling out of the
saddle; and R waa dark. I can account
for everything but your reaching the
pass so |ate. How did you spend all
your time between the ranch and the
foothills?”
McCloud saw there was no escape
from telling of his meeting with Dick-
sie Dunning, of her warning, and of
his ride to the gate with her. Every
point brought a suppressed exclama-
tion from Whispering Smith. “So she
gave you your life,” he mused. "Good
for her! If you had got into the pass
on time you could not have got away
—the cards were stacked for you. He
overestimated you a little, George;
just a little. Good men make mis-
takes. The sport of circumstances
that we are! The sport of circum-

“Now tell me how you heard so
much about it, Gordon, and where?*'
"Through a friend, but forget it.”
"Do you know who shot at me?"
Yes."
"I think I do, too. I think it was
