atavin straigntened up, his great hands clinching nervously, drops of
perspiration appearing on his red for-

"Siavin, you greatly discourage me The last time I was here you exhibit

"You devil!" Siavin roared, "what

With revolver hand resting on the

utterly remorseless now, and keen as
an Indian on the trail. "Do you know who I am?"
The horror in Slavin's eyes had
changed to sullenness, but he nodded silently. "How do you know?" There was no reply, although the thick Hps appeared to move. "Answer me. you red sneak! Do you think I am here to be played with? Answer!" Slavln gulped down something which seemed threatening to choke him, but he durst not lift a hand to wipe the sweat from his face. "If If I didn't have this beard on you might guess. I thought you knew me all the time." Hampton stared at him, still puzzled. "I have certainly seen you somewhere. I thought that from tho first. Where was it?" "I was In D Troop. Seventh cavalry." "D Troop? Brant's troop?" The big gambler nodded. "That's how I knew you, Captain," ho said, speaking with greater ease, "but I never had no reason to say anything about It round here. You was alters decent 'nough ter me." "Possibly" and it was plainly evident from his quiet tone Hampton had steadied from his first surprise, "the boot was on the other leg, and you had some good reason not to say anything." Siavin did not answer, but he wet his Hps with his tongue, his eyes on the window. "Who is the fellow Murphy?" "He was corporal In that same troop, sir." The ex-cavalryman dropped Insensibly into his old form of speech. " He knew you too, and wo talked it over, and decided to keep still, because it was none of our affair anyhow." "Where Is he now?" "He left last night with army dispatches for Cheyenne." Hampton's eyes hardened perceptibly, and his fingers closed more tightly about the butt of his revolver. "You He, SlatinS The last message did sot
reach here until this morning. That fellow Is hiding somewhero Ju this camp, and the two of you have been trying to get at the girl. Now, damn you, what is your Httlo game?" The big gambler was thlukiug hardor then, perhaps, than he had ovor Uiought in his life before. Ho knew Hampton would kill him If ho needed to do so. but he likewise realized that he was not likely to flro until ho hrtd gained the Information he was seoking. If he only know how much infor

"I told you he'd gone. Maybe he didn't git away till this mornin', but he's gone now all right. What in thunder do ye want o' him? I reckon I kin. tell ye all that Murphy knows." For a breathless moment neither spoke, Hampton fingering his gun ner-

"Whut is all this fuss about anyhow?" questioned tho marshall, evidently somewhat aggrieved. "I wus just eatin dinner when a feller stuck his head In an yelled ye'd killed somebody over at the Occidental." Hampton turned his face gravely toward him. "Buck, I don't know whether you'll believe mo or not but I guess you never heard me tell a He, or knew of my trying to dodge out of
