wasn't" evaded Brennan, but 1t was
pretty well understood that she was
going to marry me before you came
along. Do you think that it is fair to
come in here and steal my girl?"
IF she was your girl 1T wouldn't
be right admitted Circus, but I
don't see that you have any right to
say that she is our -irl until she
tells you SO. She's got right to mar
~ the man she wants, and until you
win her I'm In the running, and it
won't do any good to FIRE me, because
that will only force my hand"
Brennan realized the truth OF the
latter statement. To discharge Circus
would only serve to precipitate the
trouble he sought to avoid, so he re-
sorted to diplomacy.
You're right. Circus" he said
more quietly. "Mollie can marry the
man she wants. but do you think that
II is fair to me to cut me out while
I'm riding range and you're around
the ranch house? You can't ride
range, and you have the inside track.
I don't say that you're to blame for
taking It, but is It fair to me? Why.
you'd have been hanging around
Clarion Center yet If I hadn't given
you this job. Is this the way you pay
me?"
Put me on the range" suggested
Circus. I'm not afraid to take
chances on your seeing more of her
than me. I can ride and rope all
right, now. The round up starts next
week. I'll have to go then. Keep me
out after the round up. and I'll take
chances on Miss Mollie sticking to
me.
you needn't be afraid that can't
do the work on the range. I uooE to
be a fancy rope thrower With a
vaudeville show. I know that part of
the game, and I used to ride with a
wild west show The rest picked up
since ! came here.
"I won't speak to Miss Mollie In
the meantime and ask her to wait.
/ I'll give you a month to speak first.
That's fair. ART it?''
Brennan. nodded At the round up
he would cut out his own herd and
find out just where he stod. There
should be large accession to his
holding, and on the strength of this
he had intended to speak to Mollie,
but Circus advantage in being at the
home ranch had spelled his calcula-
tions.
With Circus silent for a month he
could argue his suit, and with Mrs.
Malloy for an ally he counted on win
ming long before the expiration of the
four weeks OF grace.
| He watched Circus narrowly at the
round up, when they rode together.
They spoke but seldom. for neither
cared to make a companion of the
other, but the foreman noted with
approval that Circus could both rope
and ride; indeed, as rider he won

licking humor saved him a wetting.
After that it was decided that CIR
Gus" was not bad sort, il he did look
like the pictures in an Eastern maya
zine.
There was work in plenty, but
Circus" was not afraid of work. and
as he gained in flesh he lost his air of
uncertainty. Even his angular shout
ders seemed to broaden with content
ment.
By the end OF the second month
Circus" had completed his metamor-
phosis. The thick red hair was sleek
and glossy, the appealing blue eyes
had an Irish twinkle and the cheeks
showed red under their coat OF tan.
He had regained his skill as a
rider now that he once more had a
horse under him, but he did not seek
shift to the range, for Mollie NAL
10y was at the ranch house and
Circus" was making famous progress
with Moilie Malloy.
She was the daughter Of the cook,
black-eyed little colleen who
queened it over the hearts of the
range riders for 20 miles around.
Until Circus" had come, she had
automatically evinced no preference ::

nan had come to regard their engage
ment as a matter settled except for
the formal asking Of the question
Barbee. his employer. permitted
him to herd his own cattle on the
range and when the bunch should be
large enough, Brennan figured on
leaving the Bar B and buying a range
Of his own.
He viewed with no pleasure the
progress Circus" made in Mollie's
affections. and at last he was moved
to protest. He came riding in from
the range one Afternoon to encounter
Circus" riding out with a message
for one OF the camps.
At Brennan's hail, he changed his
, course and rode UP to the foreman.
Brennan had intended to ask If Bar
bee was at the ranch, but the sight of
a tiny ribbon In Circus hat band
reused his temper.
You're mean, low sneaking

the usual greeting. / picked you up

dangerous CLINT in the Irish eyes.

Brennan. II guess can see with my

, up in that compact mass of frightened
cattle. but quick wit and a perfectly
trained horse had won for him.
From every direction the men came
riding up and presently they were
hcc ded for the camp where the fore
man was made comfortable in one Of
the wagons and the injured leg was
set by Barbee, who had studied sur
gerry.
AS the wagon was about to draw
out to take him TO the ranch house
Brennan called for Circus.
He came. unwillingly enough, for
he was embarrassed by thanks. but
Brennan grasped his hand.
I'll tell MoIlie that you's coming
to ask her something when the round.

clasped Circus hand. You've got tAJ
right to speak, lad. You held back
because I got you the place and you
felt you We're my debtor. The shoes

you win. She'll be proud of you when
she finds out what you've done-and
It won't lose none IN the telling"
You've got a right to ask" de-
clared Circus warmly, but Brennan
shook his head.
'I can only offer her ranch and
a bunch of cattle. and tie old woman
might make her take them" he de-
clared. you can offer her the man
she wants and that's better"
He waved his hand n farewell. and
Circus climbed down from the wagon
with a radiant face. For all his as
surance he had feared tbst Brepnau
might induce Mrs. Maleoy TO forcs
Mollie to marry him because of HIS
prospects With Brennan out OF the
way he felt sure of success. AS he
turned toward his horse Barbee rode
up.

he demanded. as Circus looked up.
"I trained him myself was the
reply. "I used TO do a bit of that

Barbee nodded and rode away. and

confded to the ribbon. "And su' the

the enthusiastic approval OF his fell
lows
He had broken his own string of
mounts and his favorite pony was al
most a part of her rider. Ba-bee rode
the round up with his men and nod
ded approvingly when some daring
bit OF work brought Circus to his no
tice.
It was near the close of the round
up when Circus opportunity came.
He and Brennan had ridden after
some OF the cattle from one os the
valleys that broke the side o. the
hills.
Just as they. reached the mouth of
the gulch a bunch of stampe ling cat
tie burst out ot the ravine and head
ed straight for the two riders. They
wheeled their horses, but as they did
so Brennan's mount slipped and fell,
throwing Brennan heavily against a
rock. breaking his leg.
Circus had already turned, but now
he wheeled his horse again, and leap
ing from the saddle he caught up the
injured man.
I'VE can't make IT," groaned Bren-
nan Save yourself man"
Lots of time" declared Circus
cheerfully, though he had to shout to
be heard above the thunder of the
pounding hoofs Carefully but with
haste he lifted Brennan to the saddle
and swung himself into the seat Just
as the first Of the cattle were upon
them.

ranch baptism. Half a dozen of the
men were within earshot. and It was
as Circus" Mccartney that he was
introduced to his fellows.
The period OF Circus hazing was
brief indeed. There was some mild
joking in the bunk house that night
which ended in the traditional re-
quest for song and a story.
Ever since the Bar B ranch had
come into existence 1t was customary
to drown out the singer with a
deluge of water, and to make the trick
more effective the stage was the
singers own bed, with the result that
few slept ina bed on their first night
on the ranch.
Circus" started of a new comic
song, and his t,ineful voice and roll

Brennan stared, nodded and con-
tinued on his way. He vas unused to
being thanked for the bestowal of a
job, and he could not realize how well
come the employment was.
He knew only that the owner OF
the Bar B insisted that a man b. kept
for light work about he ranch house,
and he could not spare an experienced
man. None were to be had in the
nearest railroa- town, AID If this for
lorn stranger could ride a little and
throw rope on occasion, he would be
well enough to let one of the good
men off the undesirable duty.
He gave no more thought to the
new man until it was time TO make a
start for home. He had almost for
gotten the incident until he came
over to the store and found a little
knot of cowmen gathered about a

the wagon came in. Then he led the
way to the corral where he ordered
Mccartney to rope the horses.
To his surprise the man made
good throw and landed the horse with
the Bar B brand, but it took him a
longer time to rope and saddle the
loaned horse, so they were late in
starting.
Brennan set fast pace, and at first
Mccartney showed signs of distress,
but his need was great and he stuck
gamely to the saddle, though when
they drew into the ranch yard, Bar
bee, the owner, regarded the new ar
rival with establishment.
Great heavensi Brennan" he
cried, what circus did you get that
from?"
Brennan offered brief explana-
ton. but Mccartney had received his
