Inside was the faded photo- graph of a young Ionian, It was a pretty face, but rather a hard one, and there was a marked re- semblance to Lois. "I remeinbeicd 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 hinulred yards away from here, lying on a ledge iindtr a heap of dead leaves." "It's queer," said Dave. "Yuh got no idea how it could liave got here?" "I've racked my brains trjinK to imagine. Unless my mother was sonic 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 me here. But v\hy should he have come here? He's never been here since, nor anyone. I'm sure nobody in Me.«cal knows of its existence." "Well," said Dave, "things have a way of comin' to light. Some day we'll know. You ^ure had a tough break, girl, not even knowin' yho yore dad was. and Hvin' up in these mountains. Did yuh ever fig- ure on what yuh were goin' to do in life?'' "I never figured on getting awaj-, Dave, till Mr, Hooker died. Kor till you came," said Lois, "I hat- ed the men who used to comi around me when I wa.s in Mescal, or over at the Cross-Bar," * * * Dave tried to keep back the words, but they seemed to come spontaneously from his lips: "Just before Mr. Hooker died he made me promise that I'd look out for yuh. I told^him of course I would. When I first see yuh, Lois, all worked up over Black Dawn, and madder at mc than a hornet, I knew just the same you were tl'.c only girl I'd ever wanted. Embroider a Frock "I wanted to ride away with you and have you with uie for the rest of our lives. Do you think â€" do yuh think yuh'd fake 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 was going to be well with them, no matter what trials might still lie ahead of them. He drew her into his arms, and she laid her head upon his shoul- der, face upturned to his. "Yuh ain'tâ€" ain't cryin' girl?" "I reckon I am," she answered. "I'm so happy, Dave. I didn't know I coufd be happy like this. 1 never cried for anybody else, and I've cried twice for you." "Twice? I made yuh cry?" "The first time was when 1 was sure you liadnt' killed Mr. Hooker. And both times have made nic happy. I don't want to leavt 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 take the 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. "fs there a trail through the mountains to the other side?" Los noddedl "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. w * » 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 niuriler. He was pretty well con- vinced that whoever had killed the old man would return to the cabin or betray himself in some manner. And he had more than a suspicion that Sheriff Coggswell was con- vined of his ov n inuoccnc But Lois' welfare came first, and Dave realized that the chief task which lay before him was to get her through the mountains to some place of safety. So he said noth- ng he grl's suggestdiroughieciiieet ing to the girl's suggeston, and they mounted the two horses rid- ing bareback and guidiig thcni with halters, Lois led the way along the trail beyond the cave. Finally it ran uphill to a long sretch of grass-covered land bcwcen the ra- vine and the heights. Releasing the horses, they watch- ed them start\gra:ing eagerly, seat- ed side by side in the warm sun- light. "What juh say to our startin' the day after tomorrow, honey?" asked Dave. "I'm ready, Dave," answered the girl shyly. "And yuh'll marry me, soon as we hit the other side of the moun- tains and find us a minister?" * • * Lois nodded, her face aglow, then hid it in Dave's shoulder. The gol- den mintites jan â-  by unheeded. At last.t when the sun was dipping to- ward the west, they rose to get the horses. Both came cantering to Lois at her whistle, and the two remounted and rode back ot their cave. "If we've startin' tomorrow, what yuh think of restin' up today an lettin' mc take the horses to the mesa? asked Dave next morning. ' Maybe I'll leave them there over- night and walk back this even". There's no place they could stray to, is there?" "No., they'll be quite safe there," answerd Lois.' "I'll be back around midday to see how you're gettin' along," he told her, and then rode away on Hooker's horse. Arriving at the grazing ground Dave flung himself down, rolled and lit a cigarette and lost himself in roseat dreams of the Aitiirc. For a half hour after his depar- ture Curran, lying behind a boul- der watched Dave's course through the pair of field glasses that he had slung about his neck.
