She rose from her chair. "My apologies," he said crisply. "There is no connection. But I was not being merely curious.

He regarded her soberly 'for a minute, then his smile came again and was faintly amused. He said crisply: "My detail will be waiting? at the edge of town. Tell your driver to be there in an hour." He bowed stiffly, his eyes • still upon her. "Au revoir-Miss; Ames.' He turned and walked from the hotel. in her room again, her luggage ready, Virginia was angry.

Then she thought of Phil Law- rence and softened. Her thoughts' leaped 70 miles across wild country to him and she grew gradually un- easy. More ;that: merely uneasy.. She became afraid. There was Phil's strange, startling letter. She took it from her hand- bag and -read, if once more. It was as myste}lious and as frightening as it had been on every other reading, It was dated April 13t1e; 1878— six weeks before. The face side of the single page was the proper sort of affectionate letter from fiance to beloved. But it ended abruptly in the middle of a sentence. What was written on the reverse side was what had brought Vir- ginia across the country to the Ter- ritory—and was what filled :;per with fear. It was merely one sentence: "Come to me, I beg you.

CHAPTER TI Those few written lines Lived with Virginia. They, sang like a tocsin of alarm in her consciousness. Their meaning was obscure. Either Phil Lawrence merely needed to see her out. of lonliness'—or he was in trouble, in danger, and could not face it alone. Whatever the motive behind the strange message, she was coming to him.: Nothing, notice= :her father's displeasure nor the necessity of travelling in Jim Randall's company would stop her. She was deter- mined on that , It was two 'hours after the lieu- tenant's visit that she finally per- mitted O'Grady to carry her lug- gagefrom the hotel. And then very slowly followed to the street. She stepped from the hotel lobby, crossed the porch and was descend- ing the steps when she saw the dark, well-dressed man who had smiled and bowed to her that morning from the street. He halted before her on the steps and removed itis hat. He seemed little over 30, but his temples were lightly frosted with gray. He was quite what she had judged hint to be: a gentleman, handsome, soft- spoken, well-mannered. * * *. "Miss Ames?" he said. "I under- stand you are going to Santa Bon- ita. My name is Stephen Barron. My home is in Santa Bonita—" His voice broke as he saw Vir- ginia look beyond him. He slowly turned • to follow her glance. Vir- ginia had been distracted by Jim Randall. He was swinging from the saddle of his horse, his face angry. IIe strode toward her in a determined way that delighted her. She had annoyed him, as she itad intended, He carne onto the steps so that he faced thein both. His face was not only angry but threatening. "Has this man annoyed you, MIss Acnes?" he demanded Virginia showed her surprise. "No .. Not at all," '• "I saw him accost yoif." Color burned in, her cheeks, "Thank you for reminding- me of the proprieties, Lt. $andall," she said 'coldly. "It *as•I ho was at fault. 1 should not have permitted him to stop me.Do you mind permitting Inc to go to my carriage?" Jim Randall stepped back, but the other man held up his hand. * * * "My apologies ; Miss Ames, We were not properly introduced 1 ad- mit," "You were slow in realizing that, Bat'ron,il Jim Randall snapped.
