He is related to Simon Girty, and he was a renegade who fought with the Indians up north during the war. Does that throw any light upon his identity?" "He says his name is Suggs?" she inquired. He was rewarded by a sharp catch in her breath and a passing flicker of her eyes. "Jasper Suggs." She was silent for a moment. "I know him," she said calmly. "His name is Simon Braley.

She dried her brown, muscular arms, rubbed her body vigorously with one of the rags and then began to comb out her long, tangled hair, not gently but with a sort of relentless energy. Swiftly, deftly she plaited it into two long braids, which she left hanging down in front of her shoulders, squaw fashion. "How long had you known this man Suggs, Moll?" suddenly inquired the other woman.

"I am beginning to understand. Stain will be one of the sheriff's party?" "We will stop at his cabin on the way to Hawk's," she replied. "If he chooses to join us after I have told him who I think this man Suggs really is, no one will object." "You say 'we. Do you mean to tell me that you are going along with the posse? Good God, woman, there will be shooting! You must not think of "

Suggs ended the interview by saying she always thought Simon would come to a bad end, and slammed the door in the deputy's face. The Deputy Sheriff passed the night at a friend's, and the next morning retraced his steps, making inquiries along the road at the different plantations, endeavoring to get some trace of Simon.

"But there is some sneak in this bunch who hasn't the nerve to back up his brag." "Are you talking to me?" said Creviss, swelling up as to chest. "Oh, are you the misguided chump whom I heard make the remark about pushing me about, as I came up?" said Ted, in a tone of surprise. The cowboys from Suggs' ranch were snickering. "Well, what if I was?" "I'm going to make you try it."

'What is it? asked the bookbinder, who was eating his fourth large rasher, and spoke with his mouth full. 'Sir, I beg leave of absence for an hour or two this morning. Business of some moment demands my attention. Mr. Suggs answered, with the grace natural to his order, 'I s'pose you can do as you like. I don't pay you nothing. The other bowed and withdrew.

Out of the maze into which his thoughts had been plunged by the swift procession of events groped the new and disturbing turn in the affairs of Rachel Carter. What was back of the untold story of the slaying of Jasper Suggs? What were the circumstances? Why had Moll Hawk killed the man? Had Rachel Carter figured directly or indirectly in the tragedy?

The bodies of Rogers the sutler and Robert Suggs were shockingly mangled, the skulls of each being broken, and all save Suggs were scalped. The party was led by Assiola, and consisted of fifty or sixty Micosukees. Two other Indians were in the party attired as chiefs, but were not recognized.

At their head was a handsome young fellow, slender and dark, with a resolute face and a pair of piercing eyes that flashed around the room for the purpose of seeing and locating his possible enemies. "Who is that?" asked Stella. "That's Billy Sudden," answered Ted. "And who is he?" "Foreman at 'Cow' Suggs' ranch. That's the Suggs bunch of cow-punchers. There'll be something doing here to-night."

You've given me information that may bring the old woman to her senses." "Them two fellers that come up on the boat to-day. Air you sure you c'n " "That's all for to-night," interrupted Barry, and strode off up the street, leaving Jasper Suggs, sometime Simon Braley of the loathsome Girty stock, to wend his lonely way out into a silence as black as the depths of his own benighted soul.
