The Y Ranch
Short Count
BY FRANK H. SWEET.
Copyright. 1908, by Frank H. Sweet.

~HE Y ranch outfit was rounding
up, with the cowboys scatter
ed over twenty miles Of terri
tory hunting stray punches.
1t had been a good season, with plenty
Of water and grass, and Sam Bell, the
owner, was confident of passing the
10000 mark, the stockm2n's ambition.
But as the territory narrowed and
the truant punches were hurried in
under the eyes Of the counters and
added to the main herds the estimate,
conservative as it had seemed, was
apparently much too high: When all
were in the count was still considera-
bly, under 1900.
There's a gate down somewhere"
said Bell to the foreman empha tically.
I'VE haven't made the increase we did
last year, when the season was bad.
Are you sure there weren't any strays
left in some out of the way coulees or

''Oh, there may be few scattering
ones here and there, but thousand!

ly. But he was looking into her eyes

was already congratulating himself
that his ranch was only thirty miles
away and that the two intervening
ones were owned by family men. He
would be more .neighborly in the fu-
ture. A girl like this ought not to be
very much by herself in such an ex-
posed place.
"Hans is very competent man." he
said.

Bell rose almost dizzily, so great
was the sudden agitation which sent
the blood rushing to his face.
But when they came to the narrow
pen into which Hans drove the cattle
for branding the color left his face as
suddenly as it had come, and in it's
place was an expression which car
rted his gaze swiftly from the cattle
to the girl and then to Hans. But the
girl looked at him trustingly and
