Curran, the foreman, promises him a job if he can break a horse ear - led Black Dawn, : When he suc- ceeds, he discovers Curan expected the horse to kill him. A girl nam- ed Lois rides up, angry with Dave for breaking "her" horse. She re- fuses to speak to him even wh-en he uses his savings to pay off the mortgage on the small ranch she shares with her foster but ; a man named Hooker. ut when Hooker is shot and Dave is d rg- ed with murder, Lois saves him from being lynched. Wotinded, she guides him to a mountain. cave where she 'thinks they will be safe from Curran and the sheriff's posse. . A quarrel between Ferris and Judge Lonergan reveals that Ferris hail killed his partner, Diane Rowlasise... many years before. Thoroughly scared, Ferris takes Curran into Itis confidence. When Dave is away from the cave Curran kidnaps -Lois. Still unaware of Lois' danger, Dave has just discovered what he believes to be a human skeleton near 'the cave. ITe is examining the skull, —0— CHAPTER XXI There was a clean, rouna hole at the back, such as a bullet 'would have made, and the frontal bone was mostly missing, with jagged edges about it. "Yore horse didn't slip, hombre," said Dave to the skull. "Yeses is a case of plain murder. Yore part- ner shot yule from behind, the dirty murdering hound!" Dave pint on his socks and shoes again and began to rcascend the. side of the ravine. Arrived at the. top, he looked at the sun and con- cluded that it was already well past. noon. Ile had told Lois that he would be back to see her around, midday. But when Dave reached the cave, he found it empty. "Lois!" he called. 'Lois, girl, where are yah?" The echoes of his voice floated • back shockingly from the cliffs acrnss the ravine,, and that was all. eseeeeseeeessee geaitce, Dave ran back to where Black Dawn was standing- and sprang into the saddle. He adjust- ed his belt, bringing the bolster close to his right hand, •.1AVhen he met C.oggsweil, it would, be just too bad for Coggswell. Softly Dave edged .the stallion along the trail, peering right and left for any hidden ambuscade. But the bootpriuts had changed to the prints of tivo horses' hoofs. If Coggswell had set an ambuscade along the route, he had certainly not joined it himself. Dave trailed the hoofprints as far' as the canyon; aiid then lost ',',thcnm. It was ,impossible to dis- cover any signs of them on the flinty ground. But Dave was pretty sure Coggswell had taken Lois to Hooker's cabin, perhaps to leave vier there" and come back in search 0;.lhinn. * * It..was an hour after the discov- `ery that Lois had been kidnapped before he suddenly saw. Hooker's cabin before him, No horse was visible, but Dave .dismounted and crept softly for- warct, peering through the under- growth. Foot by foot he edged his 'Way forward. The plaintive • lowing of the urnnilked cow came to his ears from somewhere on the mesa,'' Otherwise — nothing. And when at last Dave entered Hooker's cabin, the found it empty, with no sign that anyone had been in it since Lois and he had left it. Grimly Dave turned the stallion and rode back through the canyons. Again he found the hoofprints. and again, in spite of casting about in a wide circle, he was unable to discover which way the horses had gone. The sun was well -down .in the west•when. Dave rode back toward Hooker's cabin, reckless now. He was almost through the scrlebb when he reined in abrutly. He could' see the cabin again, and this time a horse was standing saddled in front of it. Listening, Dave could hear foot- steps in the cabin. Someone was walking to and fro inside it. "Hold 'em High. Sherif. Then Dave's pupils contracted sharply as he saw the footprints of a man's boots on the other side of the cave, faint, but unmistakable n the ground softened by the rains. Here, too, were the prints of Lois' little boots, and where they ceased there was a furrow in the soil as if she had been dragged. Beyond, the prints of the man's boots were deeper, as if he had been carrying a burden. * * * It was all perfectly clear and un- mistakable, and told its story only too well. Coggswell must have gbt upon the trail and taken Lois away. The waddy's face was trans- formed into a grim mask .of ven- or I'Il blow your head ole!" . DaVe didn't dismount this time. He edged the black horse forward, its hoofs making • no sound on the soft 'mesa. Now he was immedi- ately behind the house. He could hear the footsteps inside distinct- ly. Now he got out of his saddle and went quietly around the shack. As he reached the front angle he saw Sheriff Coggswell come out -of the door and move toward his horse. Dave leaped forward. His at- titude Was the crouch of a beast of prey, his voice a rumbling snarl: "Hold 'em high, sheriff, or T'll blow Yore head off!" Taken utterly by surprise, Coggs- well put up his hands. "Well, you got the drop on me allright, Bruce,". admitted Coggs- MAJOR TRIQUET AND FAMILY There is no prouder family in Can- ada right now than that of Major Paul Triquet, of Cabano, Que., who has been awarded the Victoria Crass, highest award for valor in the British Empire, His wife and two children are shown above, with Yolande, 8, on the left and Claude, 10, on the right, Mrs. Triquet, centre, is the former Alberte Chenier of Ottawa.
