two sisters and his foreman went th"n
dcring out to meet the solitary rider,
who had separated from the group OF
distant horsemen and who was now
heading for the ranch.
The girl went to her room and locked
herself in. She heard the little caval-
cade ride up; she heard the men greet
ing him hilariOusly. She threw herself
on to the bed and buried her face in
her hands.
Late in the evening she stole down

Her first impulse was to turn and
run, but before she could do it il was

"You-you found them?" she asked
breathlessly.
"Ehe rustlers! Yes" he replied.

"Don't. Oh, don't" she begged.

She stood silently looking at him.
Her breath came hard. her fingers
nervously clasped. He waited patient

"You are hurt" she faltered. point
ing to his wounded arm.
"This:" he laughed bitterly. ooh, it's
merely il scratch. 1t doesn't matter.
The only thing that hurts is what you
