he was pursuing the right course. He
stralned his eyes te catch some familiar land
mark, but the snewllakes fell around him
llke a floeey, shirting curtain. He strode for
ward once mere, this time slowly feeling
bis way. He was beginning te be contused.
Again be paused. This time he realized that
he had lest his liearlngs and he also realized
the dangerawhleu thla circumstance entailed,
lle.lisd but ene recourse at that moment.
He would descend the first gulch and fellow
it te Its outlet. As he hurried forward,
floundering through the deepening units ne
iennd that he was trat erslng a bread plateau.
Whlle speculating what "flat" this could be
beplungeJ headlong into abrush fence. He
was saved. As he arose he heard voices.
Guided by this welcome sound he seen
reached a barn. Hhellerlng hlmsell under
tbeleoef the barn, he walled until the men
retired and then crept Inte the building. Sev,
oral horses occupied stalls In tbe stnble and
farming Implements and harness worn scat
tered about. The robber clltnbed into the
left and burying hlmself In the hay,',wa9 seen
slteplng sound by.
When he awekn it was night, and the stars
were shining clear and bright in tbe cloud cloud
Ien sky. The snow lay thick In evorydlrec everydlrec evorydlrec
Hen, and thn only sound that breke the al
ienee was the dripping of water from the
eaves el me u.uti. no looked out anu saw
a horse a short distance from his place of
concealment. Ne one was stirring antl no
lights were visible. Pescendlng te the lower
fleer of the barn, tbe highwayman lighted a
lantern and began te search for something
among the Implements scattered about, lu
n few moments he found a saddle, which he
carried te the stalls, and, speaklnglew te one
of the horses, placed It en the animal's
back. Having secured the saddle, he took
down a bridle and adjusted It lu the horse's
mouth. Then be listened. The silence re
assured him. He opened the deer and led
the horse out into the sUrilght. Chevslng a
pattt mat led away from tne neuse, ne was
making geed progress toward a gate when
his plans were disturbed by the sudden,
tierce eutcrv of dogs. They came at hlui
from every direction, yelping, barking, biy
Ing. There was net an Instant te be lest.
Te hesitate meant an unequal struggle with
the dogs and ultimate capture by thelnmatOH
of the house, leaplng te the saddle, the des.
perate man urged ids horse at the fenca The
animal was game, and answered the hoatse
cry of Its rider by rising at the fence and
clearing it at a single hound. He thought he
heard an answering shout from the farm
house, but he was net certain, but he was
net certain, and he had no desire te solve
this doubt. In two hours, by hard riding,
he had left danger miles behind, and reined
Uls lierse into a rapid walk.
The foothills et the Sierra are thickly
weeded with white, black and live oak, thus
relieving the monotony of an otherwise bar
ren landscape. Kven In the depth of winter
tnese eans retain tneir leuage, and one never
sees In California the snarled branches and
leafless boughs se conspicuously wintry In
thelr nakedness In less favored climes.
Standing t-3neatb one of these eiks, en the
day following his escape from the mountain
ranch, the highwayman watched the ap
proach et a pirty of nersemen. Tfte horse he
bad stolen steed! besldehlmcevered wlthmud
from neck te fetlock -foundered. The hero hore
men In the distance rode furiously, and thev
were beading directly for the tree beneath
vrnicli the fugitive steel. Tnere was a smile
upon his llps,and he seemed In an uuusually
cheerful mood.
"These fellows mean business," he mut
tered. "They wouldn't have followed me se
close If they didn't. Leeks as If the game
was up en this side of the beard borne te
deal and a handful of small cards. I guess
I'll have te peg out." The realism of the
simile amused the stage-rebber, and his eyes
twinkled humorously. "When 1 started en
this risky enterprise 1 tried te leek ahead
Inte the future a day or two. j wondered
where I'd be about this lime. J took my
chances en two losing cards a jail and a
rope and 1 reckon I wen the rope. The
gang don't leek like a crowd of missionaries
chasing me te save my immortal seuL It ain't
the sherltl, because the sheriff don't hunt
cevetes with a bras baud. I think It Is this
horse that has settled my business. Well
what of It? I plsyed It for all it was worth, but
two little lair don't beat a king full, and 1
dnn'tthlnk my bluff is going te work."
By this time the pursuers were thundering
up theslnpe, their horses reeklng wltb sweat
and panting witli their exertion. There were
ten men In the crowd, and their stern,
bearded faces were an expression anything
but reassuring te the man who se calmly
awaited them. They circled tbe tree with
out a word, and hastily secured their animals
te the branches. One et them, a tall, brenred,
muscular young man, uncoiled a lariat from
the horn of his saddle and tiling it defiantly,
and with oimuleus significance at the feet et
the robber. The leader of the horsemen then
approached.
"Uoed mnrnln', strauger," he remarked,
In that easy familiar tone, peculiar te the
mountaineer or California, with whom the
time et day is always morning until nlgbt.
"Heed iiibrning," the highwayman an
swered, extending his band with a cerdUlity
that was Ironical In its effusiveness. The
leaner grasped trie pretlered hand half
mechanically, his face Indicating sur
prise iitJJj -coelues of the man they in in in
tondetU nam?.
J.(Tneleng in these p-irbir' he asked.
".Mii cant say tin exactly a resldenter en
thlsquartor-seciien just new.'
"May lie you're thlukin' e' of pro-euiptln'
a claim ?"
"Yeu've struck it, pard. l've been run
ning pretty tree et late, and I've about con
cluded tr, settle down, quiet-like and easv."
The man looked steadily in the eyes et his
executioner, his check unblanched and his
voice as ralin and passionless as if the Idea of
a ptlnful death at the hands of these deter
mined men was the last thought en his mlud.
The leader of the horsemen whispered softly.
Then he fcald :
"liecn here long?"
"Halt an hour."
'Haven't seen anvthiug of a clnyhank
mare, branded 'J. V en the lelt Hank, have
you ?"
"Pacer?"
" mat's her gniL"
"White spot in her forehead ?"
"Yeu knew her, htranger."
"I gue.a I've seen the mare. UsIeuk le

"I paid 1 100 fur the brute, an' I haven't

"'fears 10 me your mare's a rlaybank,

patting her gently en the neck.
"Thai's her color, pard," said the ether,
"and she's a dandy. I wouldn't take f.OO
for her It alie was in condition."
"White spot In her feiebead, tee, .Stranger
of thla wam'tyeur mare, I'd swear she was

examining the animal In detail and com
menting upon her various points or resem

"Yeu say you've seen the critter, Btran

"May be you noticed the party a rldln'

"I took particular netice el the individual.
He was a tall man.
"Beut your height, mavbe?"
"Yts, and he werea bread-brimmed slouch

turable robber removed hi hat and held It
towards the ether.
"Netice his hair and beard ?"
".Sandy."
"Light cemplected, eh?"
" 'Beut my color."
The leader turned te his companions and
said :
"Beys, I reckon we're much nbleeged te
the stranger."
There was a murmur of assent
"Reckon we're het en the trail?"
"Yeu bet"
"Stranger," began the leader, turnlugonce

He picked up the lartatand threw one end
ever the branch of the oak. The ether men
took held or the rope and ranged themselves
In a line. The tesder adjusted the neon' and
placed it around tlie highwayman's neck.
The latter submitted wlltieuta shudder. He
even ;smlled, ami as the loop was drawn
tight, said .
Thanks I forget te put en luy necklle

"Ye don't knew bow a itecktle Improves

".Much obliged, psrd." The volce of the
highwayman was somewhat choked, but It
was net with his emotion. -Are you going?
Well, geed luck te you."
The men en the rope stepped lack two

The bright funlight pended a laudtcape
baVren and cheerless. The blue of the shy
above was simply a relief such as nature, In
her regard for the fitness of things, had
spread ever the unattractive preect ter
pleasant contrast. As the leader's velca

"He's game." The man who spoke had

that only two of them retained their held

the place of the elten wearisome cake basket
Such a change relieves the monotony of the
