WHEN the three men who had
pulled him from bis horse
and bound him had with
drawn to the farthsr side of
the campflre to wrangle morosely over
what should be done with him. Blovat
found it difficult to realize that they
were actually discussing, as one of the
expedients, the propriety of knocking
him on the bead and flinging his body
into the canyon.
The difficulty lay in the crude incred
ibility of things. Five minutes earlier
be bad been riding peacefully up the
trail, wondering how badly he was lost
and how much farther it was to Deb*
bleby's. Then, at a sudden turn in the
canyon bridle path, he bad come npon

seemed to be the
only possible explanation. But when
he remembered the three invisible
horsemen who bad passed him on the
broad mesa he was not so sure about
the mistake.
Most naturally his thoughts went
. back to the Httle episode on the hotel
porch. The passing glance he had giv
en to the three men with whom his
smoking room companion had been
talking did not enable him to identify
them with the three who were calmly
discussing his fate at the nearby fire,
but the conclusion was fairly obvious
none the less.
Thus far be had been either too busy
or too bewildered to think- of asking
questions, but when the more murder
ous of the expedients seemed aetaally
about to prevail be thought it was
time to try to find out why be was to
be effaced.
"I don't want to seem to Interfere
with any arrangements yon gentlemen
are making," he called across to the
group at the fire, "but if you wfli kind
ly tell me why you tbink it necessary to
murder me I should be immensely
obliged."
"You know mighty good and well
why there's one too many of yon on
Lost river Jest at this stage' o" the
game," said the hard faced brigand
who had held the W lnchest IT while
his two accomplices bad unhorsed and
bound the victim.
"But I don't," insisted Blount good
naturedly. "Bo far aa I know, there
is only one of me—on Lost river or
anywhere else."
"That'll do for you. It aint your
put In, nohow," was the gruff decision
of tbe court.
But Blount waa too good a lawyer to
be silenced that easily.
"Perhaps you might not especially
regret killing the wrong man, bat in
the present case I am very sure I
should. Who do you think I ami"
"The boss knows who yon arts, and
that's enough for us," said the spokee
man of the three hlghbindera.
"The bossT" questioned Blount
"Yaas; I said the boas. Now bold
your )aw."
Blount caught at the word. In a
flash the conversation with Gantry
flicked Into'bis mind.
"There is only one bees in this state,"
he said coolly, "and I am very en* he
has not given yon orders to kill see."
"What's tbst?" demanded the spokes
man.
Blount repeated his bit of informa
tion. adding, "Perhaps roWd better
ring for a better connection and ask
your boss if he wants you to kill the
son of his boesT"
At this the tall man came and stood
over bl» primmer.
"Bay, comrade, It aint my sight «sr
klddin', and it hadn't ort to be yourn,"
he remarked grimly. -The hoes didn't
say yon was to be nibbed out—they

an agent ef the national forest serv
lce waa an enemy to be diapoaed of aa
expeditiously aa possible, and Blount
saw that he bad only himself to blame,
since he bad allowed the man to be
lieve (hat he was a government em
ployee. ■ * - . ■> ■
Haying the clew to the mystery, how
ever, bis course waa a little easier to
steer.
"My name Is Blount, and I am the
son of ei-Senatob David Biount of this
state," he asserted. "Now, what are
you going to do with me?'
"What's that you say T' grated the
outlaw.
"Yo» heard what I said. Go ahead
and heave me Into the canyon If you
are willing to stand for It afterward."
The bard faced man turned on his
heel without replying and went back
to the other two at the Ore. Blount
(aught only a word now and again of
the low toned, wrangling argument
that followed. But from the overheard
word or two be gathered that there
were still some leanings toward the
sound old maxim which declares that
"dead men tell no tales."
When the decision was reached he
was left to guess what it was. With
out any explanation the thongs were
taken from bis wrists and ankles, and
he was helped upon his horse. When
his captors were also mounted the
new status was defined by the bard
faced man In curt phraae.
"You go along quiet with us, and
don't you maka no bad breaks. I
more'n half believe yon been lyin" to
me, but I'm goin' to give you a chance
to pgove up. If you don't prove, up
you pass out, tbat'a all. Now qtt in
line -and bike out, aiid if ye're tempt-'
ed to maka a break jest rtcollect that
a chunk o' lead out of a Winchester,
kin travel a heap faster than your
cayuse."
For tbe first few miles tbe trail was
so difficult that speed was out of the
question, but later in crossing a high
lying valley the horses were pushed,
and ten or twelve miles were covered
at a gallop.
When tbe canyon trail came out
upon broad uplinds and became a
country road, with ranches on either
hand, watered by irrigation canals
into which tbe mountain torrent was
diverted, there were no familiar land
marks to tell Blount whither his cap
tors were leading him.
As be waa able to determine by
holding his watch face up to the moon
light, it was nearly midnight when the
silent cavalcade. of four turned aside
from the main road lntoaa avenue at
huge cottonwood tosss.
At its bead the ave—e haiams a cir
cular driveway, and fronting tbe drive
way a stately house, with a massive
Georgian facade aad colonnade por
tico, Mag its black shadow across
ths white gravel of the carriage ap
proach.
There were lights In one wing of tbe
houae, and another appeared behind
the fanlight in the entrance ball when
the leader of the three highbinder*
had tramped op tbe stops and touched
the bell push
Blount had a fleeting glimpse of a
black head with a crown of snowy
wool when the door vu opened, but
he did not bear what, was said. Then
the negro disappeared, and there »u
a little interval of waiting.
At the end of the interval the door
wai opened wider, and Blonnt had a
gruff order to diamoont
'What he aaw when he etaod on the
doormat beside the hard faced man
with the Winchester merely added
mystery to myatery. Just within the
laxartooaly fnrnUbed hall, where tlm
light of the hall lantern aerved to
heighten the artistic effect of bsr dark
red honee gown, stood a woman, evi
dently the mistress of the Georgian
mansion. She was rather amatl and
dark, with brown eyee that were al
most childlike in their wtaaomeness, a
woman who might be twenty or thirty
or gnr age between.
"What la It, Bartor the UtUe lady

troduce himself by name. She took the
bit of pasteboard, and since she scarce
ly glanced at the engraved line on it
he found himself wholly unable to In
terpret the smile she gave him In re
turn.
"The card Is hardly necessary," she
•aid, and then, to his complete bewil
derment, "You are very Ilka your fa

" "You know my father!" be exclaimed.
She laughed softly. "Every one
knows the senator. And I can assure
you that his son Is very welcome un
der this roof. Uncle Barnabas"—to the
ancient soring man, who waa still
hovering in the background—"have Mr.
Blount's horse put up and the blue
room made ready."
Blount followed the hostess, who was
•till unnamed to him, obediently when
•he led the way to the lighted library
in the wing of the great house.
"Uncle Barnabas will com* for yon
presently," she explained. "In the
meantime let me make you • cup of
tea. I am sure you must be needing
it If yon have ridden far. Talcs the
easy chair, and we can talk while the
kettle Is boiling. Are you new to the
west, Mr. Blount? Or Is this only a
return to your own? The senator Is
always talking about you. but he Is'
so proud of you that be forgets to tell
ns the really Interesting things that
we want to know."
The aervlng man took bla own time
■bout coming back (or the guest, no
long a time that Blount forgot that It
wan paat midnight, that be wan a
guest in a atrange bouae and that be
did not yet knew the name of bla en
tertainer.
For all this forgetfulness the tlttlo
lady with the dark brown eyea was
directly responsible. Almost before he
knew It Illount found himself chatting
companionably with her and finding
bar charmingly responsive In' what
ever field the talk happened to fall.
Tbe white haired old butler came at
last to show him the way to his luxu
rious lodging* on the second floor of
the mansion.
With .a touch of hospitality, which
carried Blount back to bis one winter
In tbe south, the hostess went with
him as far as tbe stair foot, and her

Blount saw his last cbnnce for bet

me where 1 am before you go," ha
suggested. "Whose bouae la this?"
Tbe old man stopped on tbe thresh

CHAPTER V. .
AT WAITIL*CI HALL,
WHEN Evan Blount opened his
eyes on the mornlug follow
ing the night of singular ad
ventures the sun was shin
ing brightly In st the bed's head win
dow, a cheerful tire was crackling on
the hearth, and his fathter, a little
heavier, a little grayer, tart' with the
same rugged face and' kindly eyes,
was stsnding at bis bedside.
"Even, boy!" and "Father!" were
the only words of greeting, but the
mighty band grip that went with them
waa for Evan a renewal of bis hoy-'
hood and a sulllclent promise for the
future.
Followed Instantly ■ nub of mingled
emotions: of astoundment that be had
recognized uo familiar landmark In
the midnight faring through the hills
or on the approach to tb* borne of bla
childhood: of something like a keen
regret that the old bad given place so
thoroughly and completely to the new;
of something bordering on chagrin
that be had been surprised Into ac
cepting, ths hospitable advances of a
woman whom lie had been Intending
to qvoid and for whom be bad cher
ished— and meant to cherish—a con
temptuous disregard.
But at the hand gripping moment
there wns no time for a nice weighing
of emotions. lie was In his father's
house, the homecoming, some phases
of which he hud vaguely dreaded, was
a fact accomplished, and the new life
—the life that wns to be lived without
Patricia—wns fairly begun. Also there
were arrears to be brought up.
"Did the Utile—er—did Mrs. Blount
tell you that I was here?"
"She did. but she couldn't tell r me
much more. llow on top of earth did
jou happen to blow In at midnight
with Jack Barto for jour herd leader?"
"It's a fnlry tale, and yon won't be
lieve It—of a Blount." was the laugh
ing reply. "I left Boston Monday and
■hould have reached the capital last
night. But my train was laid out be
hind a freight wreck at Aretaa Just
before dark, and I left It and took to
the hills— horseback. Don't auk me
why. The smell of the sagebrush was
in my nostril*, and I had to do It. ~l
knew where I waa, and I thought I
could ride to Debbleby's, so I hired th«
broncho and pitched out I think I
kept the general direction all right un
til 1 got lost among the Lost river hog
backs. but after that I waa pretty suc
cessfully lost." _
"And Barto found you?" queried the
■enatorr;-
"Who Is this übiquitous Barto who
goes around playing the holdup one
minute and the good angel the next?"
"Ue Is a aort of general utility man
for Hatha way, the head pusher of the
Twin Buttes Lumber company. He Is
supposed to be a timber cruiser and
log scaler, but f guess he doesn't work
much at bis trade. Down In the lower
wards of New York they'd call blm a
heeler maybe. But you don't mean to
tell me that Jack Barto robbed yon,
•on V'
"No; be waa merely dlscuaalng with
bin two fellow holdups the advisability
of knocking me on the bead and drop
ping me Into Lost River canyon; that
was all. Of course I knew they had
fallen upon tbe wrong man, and after
awhile I succeeded In making Bsrto
accept that hypothesis. At iMlt be ac
cepted It sufficiently to bring me here
for Identification. Since be wouldn't
talk and I didn't recognize tbe trail or
tbe place I hadn't tbe alightaat notion
of my wberesbouts— not tbe leaat In
the world." v - . :
Tbe big man waa leaning against
tbe foot rail of tbe bed and frowning
thoughtfully. "Talked about dropping
you Into Lost rlvar, did they? H'm!
We'll have to look Into that a little, I
guess. Who set them on, son? Got
any Idea of that?"
"I have a very good Idea—a man
who came acrosa In tbe Pullman wlrta
me from Omaha; tall and rather elim
and with a hatchet face and owlish
eyea. I didn't learn bla name, but be
anld be waa Interested In mlnea and
timber."
"That waa Hathaway himself," waa
tbe Inatant decision. "Hla company
baa been cutting timber In tbe Loat
river reaerve, and be probably thought
you were cbaalng him. You didn't
know Honorla?"
"No; I wasn't expecting—l-you mSy
remember that 1 bad never mot her,"
stammered the young man. who bud
risen to bla elbow among tbe plllowa.
Tbe father walked away to the win
dow and stood looking out upon tbe
dtatant mountalna for a full minute
before be turned to -aay genUy: "We
■lay aa well run tbe boundary llnee on
this one time aa another, eon. You
don't like Honorla. You've made up
your mind not to like her. I'm not
going to make It bard for either of
you if I can help It Thla Is her borne,
but It la alao yours, my boy.- .Do you
reckon you could"—
Evan Blount made haate to atop tbe
half pathetic appeal.
"Don't lot that trouble you," be tn
torpoaed. "I-Mra. Blount la a vary
different person from tho woman I
have been Imagining, and If abe wore
not 1 think we are both sufficiently
civilized not to quarrel." Then; "Have
yon breakfasted yet—yon-and Mrs.
Blount? But of courae you have long
ago."
"Breakfasted? Without you? Nut
much, son. And that ramlnda mo 1
was to come op and see tf yon wars
awake, and If you wars I waa to aand
Barnabas up with your coffee."
"You may tell Barnsbss thst I
bsven't acquired tbe coffee In bed
bsbit yet," laughed the laxy one. sit
ting op. "And you may make my
spologlea to Mrs. Blount and tell ber

thst sound as If 1 were getting back
to tbe good old ssgebrash idiom?
Great land! 1 haven't beard anybody
aay 'pronto' since 1 wss 'knee high to
s hoptoad!"
In all his forscsatlnga Evan Blount
bad never pictured s homecoming like
tWa- In escb succeeding hour of the
day tbe edges of the cbssm of the
years drew closer together, and when
finally his father put him on s horse

boyhood reflections, rode • with him
through the screening cotton woods
and showed him, lying beyond them,
the old ranch buildings of the Circle

heart was full, and a sudden mist

ture.
"I'Te kept It just as it used to be.

Coca Cola A Poison?
Chattanooga, Tenn., March 15.
In the hearing of the United States
against a certain number of bar
rels and kegs of Coca£ola in the
Federal court here today, some of
the most interesting testimony yet
brought out was given by Dr.
Lyman F. Keiber, chief of the
drug department of the bureau of
chemistry, Washington, D. C.
Dr. Kebler is the chemist who
made a test of Coca Cola and to
day he testified that Coca Cola
contains caffeine, declared that to
each eight-ounce glass there was
one and one-fourth graius of caf
feine, which he says is poison,
Dr. Kebler cited many eminent
authorities in proof of his state
ment that caffeine is a poison and
referred to a number of deaths re
ported an being caused by its use.
Olio of these writers had reported
a owe where four and one-half
graina of the drug had produced
death, and ho declared that about
three glasses of Coca Cola con
tained this amount of caffeine." "
Dr. Itusby, for the govorment,
stated that no other product bore
the nameof either"coco"or "kola'
Government chemists stated
that Coca Cola contained neither
coca nor kol\ and the effort of
the government will be to prove
that the drink is nrisbranded.
Dr. Kobler testified an to finding
of vermin and bugs in the vats,
aa the result of his inspection of
tbe Coca Cola plant in Atlanta.
He futher testified that caramel
and brown sugar weroadded, and
"because of their opaqueness, tend
ed to conceal impurities in the
Coca Cola syrup.
