a sudden arching of the back the wiry
little creature sent him sprawling on
the ground.
Lorne looked around sheepishly in the
hope that no one had seen him. Jim
was evidently too busy or too polite to
watch. Bruised and a little angry, he
pluckily tried it again. clinging with
unusual strength TO the sides of his
steed. This time the pony started on a
bucking, leaping campaign that was in
tended to get rid of him, but did not.
After a race around the Enclosure, dur
ing which Lorne expected death every
moment, they drew up to the cabin.
Jim was not even curious as to the out
comet was a common experience.
1t was a hard days ride, and Lorne
felt that he was earning his $40 month
by the time he reached the other end
of his course.
For two weeks he made his daily
journey without incident. 1t was get
ting well along in the spring and rain
fell every day. One morning. to avoid
the slippery course close to the fence,
he turned out in the pasture. AS he
rode he saw queer impression in the
ground beside his horses feet Dis
mounting, he made out the print Of a
mans boot
What could it mean?
The foreman went the other way that
morning and the line riders were the
only other human occupants of the
ranch. For a long time he studied the
surface of the ground, and then, re-
mounting, rode to the south, following
a line of cattle tracks that grew thick
err as he progressed A suspicion that
had come with the discovery of the
footprints was growing stronger-the
boot had sunk deep into the mud and
clay, but there was no mark of a spur.
Some one not belonging to the ranch
had been inside driving cattle toward
the linei
Coming to the top of a little rise he
saw just ahead a bunch of cattle and
behind them two men. That settled it.
The men were not so far away but that
the tall gray horse of the foreman was
plainly to be identified. Lorne stopped
then and started back toward his right
full course.
The situation was puZzling and he
wondered if it would do to report the
happening of the morning. Turning up
one of the ravines. Lorne thought to
gain the fence line quicker, but the
path led along a bare hillside and sud-
denly the pony's feet went from under
him. Horse and rider rolled toward the
bottom of the valley.
1t was all so quick that Lorne had no
time to call for help and almost before
he knew it he lay helpless in the mud
and slush of the ravine. with one leg
held fast under the pony.
Justify he shouted, but no help came.
In that comparatively level country
there was not even an echo. The pony
lay so still. with its head curled under
it's shoulder, it seemed that it must be
dead, and it's weight pinned the rider
so close to the earth that escape seemed
impossible.
Again and again ne shouted, and
again did he stop and listen eagerly.
