ing ranch. Right-of-way men had been
working for months with Lance Dun
ming over the line and McCloud had
been called frequently into %consulta-
ton to adjust the surveys to objec-
lions raised by Dicksie's cousin to the
crossing of the ranch lands. Even
when the proceedings had been closed,
a strong current of discomfort set
from the managing head of the Stone
ranch. Rumors Of Lance Cummings
dissatisfaction often reached the rail-
road people. Vague talk Of an extern
sive irrigation scheme planned by Sin
clair for the Crawling Stone valley
crept into the newspapers, and it was
generally understood that Lance Dun
ming had expressed himself f%avorably
to the enterprise.
Dicksie gave slight heed to matters
as weighty as these. She spent much

Bend, where she rode with frequency,
Marion's shop became her ~favorite
abiding place. Dicksie ordered hats
until Marion's conscience rose and she
practically refused to supply any
more. But the spirited controversy
on this point, as on many others
Dlcksie's haughtiness and Marion's re-
s%traint, quite unmoved by any show of
displeasure-ended always in drawing
the two closer to each other.
One March afternoon, coming home
from Medicine Bend, she saw at some
distance before her a party of men on
horseback. She was riding a trail
leading from the pass road that fol-

lowed the hills, n the party was
coming up the bridge road from the
lower ranch. Dicksie had good eye
and something unusual in the riding
of the men was oon apparent to her.
Losing and regaining sight of them at
different turns in the trail, she made
out, as she rode among the trees, that
they were cowboys Of her own ranch,
and riding, under evident excitement,
about a strange horseman. She rec.
ognized in the escort Stormy German,
the %ferocious foreman Of the ranch,
and Denison and Jim Baugh, two of
the most reckless OF the men. These
three carried rifles slung across their
pommels, and In front of them rode
the stranger.
Fragments of the breakfast-table
talk Of the morning came back to
Dicksie's mind. The railroad graders
were in the valley below the ranch,
and she had heard her cousin say a
good deal on q point she cared little
about, as to where the railroad should
cross the Stone ranch. Approaching
the fork of the two roads toward
which she and the cowboys were rid
ing, she checked her horse in the
shade OF q cottonwood tree, and as
the party rode up the draw she saw
the horseman under surveilleRce. It
was George McCloud.
Unluckily, as she caught a glimpse
of him she was conscious that he was
looking at her. She bent forward to
hide q monetary confusion, spoke
briskly to her horse, and rode out of
sight. AT Marion's she had carefully
avoided him. Her precipitancy at their
last meeting had seemed, on reflec-
|tion, unfortunate, She felt that she
must have appeared to him shockingly
rude, and there was in her recalling of
the scene an unconfessed impression
that she had been to blame. Often

did without the slightest reserve and

CHAPTER XII.
The Quarrel.

The beginning of the Crawling Stone
line marked the first determined effort
under President Bucks, while under
taking the reconstruction Of the sys-
tenn for through traffic, to develop the
rich local territory tributary to the
mountain division. New policies In
construction dated from the same
period. Glover, with an enormous
capital staked for the new undertake
ings. gave orders to push the building
every month In the year. and for the
first time In mountain railroad build.
Ing winter Was to be ignored. The
older mountain men met the innova-
stion as they met any departure from
their traditions, with curiosity and dis.
trust. On the other hand, the new and
younger blood took hold with con-
fidence, and when Glover called, "Yo,
heaye ho!" at headquarters, they bent
themselves clear across the system for
q hard pull together.
