Well, It's all off, said Saxton, rising,

foul with the stale fumes of whisky and
tobacco.
Well, 1 guess I'll have to see Mr..

Saxton was paying no further attention to
him. He collected his few belongings,
watching in astonishment the violence
with which Saxton was gathering up and
disposing of rubbish.
Going to clean up httle?" he asked,
No, I'm just exercising for fun" re-
piled Saxton. If you're ready, you'd bet

Snyder growled his resentment and moved
toward the door with bundle under his
arm and saddle and bride thrown over

through the door.

served SaXton to himself
Saxton spent 4 week at Great River. He
hired a man to repair fences and put the
house in order He visited several of the
large ranch owners and asked them for aid
in picking out the scattered remnants OF
the Pondexter herd. Nearly all of them
collected about one hundred cattle and sold
them at Great River for cash. He ex-
pected to see hear of Snyder in the town,
but the fellow had disappeared
The fact was that Snyder had ridden over
to the next station beyond Great River for
his spree. that place being to his liking
because it was beyond the Jurisdiction of
the sheriff. whose headquarters were MAIN
tanned at Great Rver-an official who took
his office seriously, and who had warned
Sypder that his latest offense-gef ting
drunk and smashing a saloon sideboard-
must not be repeated. After he had been
satisfactorily drunk for a week and had
gambled away such of his fortune as the
saloonkceper had not acquired in direct
course of commerce, Synder came to him.

said, as Saxton swung himself into the
train. You'll find me here at the old stand
when you come back"
"A queer customer and undoubtedly a bad
lot" was SaXton's reflection.
When Saxton had written out the report
of his trip he took it to Wheaton, to get
his suggestions before forwarding it to
Boston. He looked upon the ca shier as his
predecessor, and wished to avail himself of
Wheatons knowledge of the local conGi-
lions affecting the several properties that
had now passed to his care. Wheaton I'M
doubtedly wished to be of assistance and
In their discussion of the report the cashier
made many suggestions of value of which
SaXton was glad to avail himself.
As to the Poindexter place. said Saxton
finally, I've been advertising 1t for sale in
the hope of finding buyer, but without re-
suits. The people at headquarters can't
bother about the details of these things, but
I'm blessed If / can see why we should
maintain caretaker. There's nothing
there to take care of. That house is worse
than useless. IN going back in a few DAYS
to see II can't coax home some of the
cattle were entitled to- they must be wan
dertng over the country-if they haven't
been rustled and then, I suppose, we may
as well dispense with Snyder"
He had used the plural pronoun out of
courtesy to Wheaton, wishing him 10 feel
that his sanction was asked in any changes
that were made.
II don't see that there's anything else to
DO, Wheaton answered. I've been to the
ranch and there's little personal property
there worth caring for That man SNYDER
came along one day and asked for a job
and l sent him out there, thinking he'd
Keep things in order until the trust COM
pany sent its own representative here"
There were times when Wheaton's black
eyes contracted curiously, and this was one
of the times.
II don't like discharging a man that
you've employed Saxton replied.
Oh, that's all right. You can't keep him
II he performs no service. Don't trouble
about him on my account. How soon are
you going back thereY'
Next week some time"
Travelling about the country isn't much
fun" Wheaton said, sympathetically.
"Oh, I rather like it, replied Sextou
putting on his hat.
Saxton was not surprised when he re-
turned to the ranch to find that Snyder had
made no effort to obey his Instructions
he made his visit Unexpectedly, leaving
the train at Great River, where he secured
a horse and rode over to the ranch. He
reached the house in the middle of the
morning and found the front door polted
and barred on the inside After much
pounding he succeeded in bringing Snyder
to the door, evidently both surprised and
displeased at his interruption.

and he thrust 1t into his pocket with a
laugh. 81
My ranching wasn't so bad after ALL"
he muttered.
What's that?' asked Snyder, who was
stolidly following him about.
Nothing. II you have pony we'll take

Iney spent the day In the saddle riding
over the range. The ridiculous character
OF the Potndexter undertaking could not
spoil the real value Of the land. There was

Snyder cooked supper for both of them,
While Saxton repaired decrepit windmill
which had been designed to supply the
mousse with water He had formed q poor
opinion of the caretaker, who seemed to
know nothing of the property and who had
a. far as he could see, no well-defned
cutles. The man struck him as an, odd
person FOR the bank to have chosen to be
the custodian of ranch property. There
was nothing for any one to do unless tho

he had great shock of black hair and
scraggy beard. He lacked an eye. and he
had habit of drawing his head around in
order to accommodates his remaining orb
to any necessity. He did this with all In
sinuating kind of elaboration that became
tiresome in long interview.
This place is too fancy to be of much
use, the man vouchsafed, putting at his
pipe. You may find some dude that.wants

Saxton. I'm told there's no better on the
river. The house Is handicap, or would

make money. outsof cattle. Have you ever
tried rounding up the cattle that strayed
through the fences? The Podndexter crowd
