Cavendish himself had been lured westward, waylaid in some manner and made prisoner, as she and Westcott had suspected. Through the co-operation of Lacy he had been brought to this desert den, where he could be held indefinitely, with no chance of discovery killed if necessary.

Later, from his own rooms, Cavendish secured accommodations on the Pennsylvania." He paused, endeavouring to see out through the window, hearing the hoof beats of an approaching team. "What's that, Pete?" he asked of Timmons, who was hovering as closely as he dared. "Pretty late, isn't it?" "Guests, I reckon; the Overland was three hours late; sure, they're stoppin' yere."

But this letter said nothing of death, nor of illness with danger of death. And yet Gwen was so disturbed by it that there was scarcely a brilliant visitor to her mother's that afternoon but said to some other brilliant visitor: "What can be the matter with Gwen?
