she had lost, the wound tvas a su-

gfure mountain air contributed alike
to a quick recovery.

gold locket from a cord about her
neck, opened it, and handed it to
Dave. Inside was the faded photo-
graph of a young woman. It was
a pretty face, but rather a hard
one, and there was a marked re-
semblance to Lois.
"I remembered her, after I found
this locket," said the girl.
"You say you found this:" asked
Dave, handing her back the locket.
"Where did yuh find it?"
"Not a hundred yards away from
here, lying on a ledge under a heap
of dead- leaves."
"It's queer," said Dave, ''Yuh
got no idea how it could have got
here?"
"I've racked my brains trying to
imagine. Unless my mother was
some relative of Mr. Lonergan's,
and gave him the locket, and he
dropped it here. You see, Mr. Lon-
ergan made the Hookers adopt me
and bring ine here. But why should
he have come here? He's never
been here since, nor anyone.

"I wanted to ride away with you
and have you with ane for the rest
of our lives, Do you think .- do
yuh think yuh'd take a chance on
me when we get away from here?"
Then, suddenly, looking into the
girl's luminous eyes, Dave knew
that she loved him, and that every-
thing
verything was going to be well with
them, no platter what trials might
still lie ahead of thew,
He drew her into his arms, ,and
she laid her head upon his shoul-
der, face upturned to his.
"Yuh ain't—ain't eryin' girl?
"I reckon I aro," she answered.
• "I'm so happy, Dave. I didn't know
I could be happy like this, I never
cried for anybody else, and I've
cried twice for you."
"Twice? I made yuh cry?"
"The first time was when I was
sure you hadnt' killed Mr, Hooker,
And both times have made me
happy. 1 don't want to leave you
ever."

After a while he heard •.her
breathing deeply and regularly, and
found that she had fallen -asleep.
He sat there, holding her tightly,
till the pale light of dawn came
creeping into the cave.
"There's a mesa in the moun-
tains about a mile away, that I
don't think anyone except myself
has ever seen," said Lois that af-
ternoon, "I think we'll takethe
horses there. The grass is pretty
well gone from here, and they'll
need some good grazing before we
start."
"You'll be able to ride in about
a couple of days more, honey," said
Dave. "Is there a trail through
the mountains to the other' side?"
Los nodded. "I found it, too."
she said. "It runs right through
across the Border, Dave. We'll
never have to go back to Mescal,
and nobody will dream we've come
through the mountains,
* * *
Dave didn't relish the' idea of
flight. But for Lois, he would pro-
bably have scouted about the Mes-
cal district by night, in the hope of
unearthing the clue to Hooker's
murder. He was pretty well con-
vinced that whoever had •killed the
old man would return to the cabin
or betray himself in some mannsr.
And he had more than a,suspicisn
that Sheriff Coggswell was con-
vined of his own innocene
But Lois' welfare came first, and
Dave realized that the chief task
which lay before him was to get
her through the mountains to smae
place of safety. So he said with-
