horse was seriously impeded by some
tree-eactus. Dick held strong opinions on
the point. Had not Reb also tried to steer
him into a ruined adobe wall3 Little
Bobby, who was the youngest puncher

"There's . girl staying with Miz Davis, I"
he announced. II rode by there this
morning an seen her. She's kin to Miz

"Wltat does she look ike?" asked Dave,
holding the ooffee-pot suspended.
"Kind Of peachy like, with yallow hair. {"
"What do you care, Dave3 You're too
fl" interrupted the jocose Uncle Henry.
"They's difference between being full
growed an being fat, Uncle Henery," ex-
planned the cook with dignity.

"Dick, there, is fat" Dave continued.

ties on the weather and the cattle, but
finally Dave blurted out his hopes. Davis
reckoned he and the wife were willing, if
Mary Lou was.
Had million acres of grazing land been
given suddenly to the cook, had the Lazy
Is forty-six thousand cattle become his
absolute property at stroke, he could never
have been so proud or uplifted as when he
trotted homeward in the dark, humming
song and twenty-seven seventy in debt.

she had not said "No." As he recalled her

Henry exclaimed. "Why, what if the
manager was to learn of it? What would
he think of me? Hey? No, sir, if you're
sot on it, you can take the consequences
yourself. won't be round an won't know
nothing about it,
So the boss walked off to hide behind
tree where he could not possibly miss any
part of the performance. Dave tried to
pooh-pooh the suggestion as boyish prattle
unbeconing grown men, but Dick, in whom
the differentiation between full growth and
fat ranked sore, flung the challenge in his
teeth that he would top him if Dave stayed
with the brute. Moreover, he would bet a
months pay on the event.
After that there was only one thing for a
man to do. Dave changed his shoes for
boots, spat on his hands and commended his
soul to heaven. Besides that, he buckled
on six-shooter, desiring totake no chances
of being gored, and babe them lead up the
victim.
The victim resembled victim very little
and required no leading. He came at a
smashing gallop and Jared every bone in
Saunders horse when it sat back on its
launches to stop his run. With a rope
about his horns and another around the
left hind foot, the steer stood helplessly on
three legs midway between the inpassive
Saunders and Reb, while two of the boys
cinched saddle tightly to his body and ran
a rope crupper under his tail and made it
taut to the saddle rings. There could be no
slipping now.
"You boysll herd him careful now7 cried
Dave. 81 don't want for to leave the coun-
try m <hic 01' cfeero
"Shore," answered both outfits with one
voice.
"When tell you-all to let 60, drop them
ropes" ordered the perspiring cook.
He approached gingerly, the powerful
brute rolling its eyes toward him until only
the whites were visible; its tongue was
lolling out. Selling the horn of the saddle,
the cook clambered up with surprising
agility. Anxious that Dave should get a
good start, Bobby twisted the steers tail
until it beloved with rage.
= "Now, you OF son-of-a-gun," the cook
grunted, settling himself, "let 'er CO."
Uncle Henry danced up and down behind
his tree, bawling encouragement and adj
monitions. For man of one hundred and
ninety pounds the cook was marvel. He
sat solid and mistaken while the steer bucked
and plunged and twisted; and he would
have reduced Dick to penniless remorseful
pulp, had the herders not behaved like
snakes in the grass. Instead of heading off
the terrified animal and keeping him run
ming in a circle, they sat inert on their horses,
too absorbed in the contest to be mindful
of duty.
Through the binding red mist of rage
wavering before his eyes, the steer per-
ceived tree and made for it. A branch Of

tioning, he thrilled with exaltation and
resolve to strive to deserve it. She had
wcpt little, and had broken away from
him to run to her room. But that was the
way of women-some women-he reflected.
The big man felt doubly tender.
It was two hours after breakfast, and
Dave sat on a pile of bedding trying to shoot
a buzzard out of a cottonwood tree. The
bald-headed scavenger spread his wings
lazily as the bullet sang past him, but did
not deign to move from his perch. Dave
settled himself to draw another bead on him,
but paused. Somebody was driving down
the dry river-bed in a blackboard, flashing
the horse and tugging at the reins to hasten
his pace. Dave peered intently for mo-
ment, then strobe to meet the visitor.
@'Oh, Dave, Bobby's in the lookup
Bobby's in Jail"
Tears streaked Mary LOUIS face and her
eyes were swollen with weeping. The cook
spoke to her with grave kindness.
"Where is he in jail2"
"1n Blackwater. Bobby sent word to
Les. Les, he went over to Blackwater
yesterday, but he couldn't get him out y
She broke into sobs. Mary Lou could look
pretty and wholesome even when she cried.

what do you want me to do?"
"What did you say, Mister Dave? :"
She looked up from drying her eyes.
"What do you want me to do?''
II don't know. I don't know. But
somehow thought if anybody could save
him, it would be you, Mister Dave Oh,
get him out! Will they hang him, do you

wrong"

"They didn't want me to come, but [
made 'em let me. Les says as Bobby ought
for to stay there. Bring him back, Dave
I know he amt to blame"
He turned On her angrily, but checked
the scathing retort and resumed his staring
survey of that far-away, wavering butte.
The girl began to weep again, and the cook
put hand on her shoulder in rough SYM
pathy.
"There! There! You drive straight
home. I'll 60 get Bobby"
The horse wrangler happened to wander
lazily into camp, and six seconds later
dashed out again at a mad gallop to bring
in horse. Dave swung his ponderous
bulk into the saddle with sigh.
"Al, you tell Uncle Henery I'll be back
tomorrow. If he don't like it, the Lazy L
ranch can get another cook. You do the
cooking, an whatever you do, don't for
get the gravy the boys like with their
bread"
1t was only too true. Bobby was in the
lookup, and Mac swore he should stay there.
What had he done? He had stolen five of
John Riley's calves. Dave grew serious at
once. This was an offence of which he had
never thought the boy could be guilty; it
was heinous crime among cowmen OF
Dawes stamp. He had a talk with Bobby
Ct the jail and then sought John Riley
You stole them ca-alves yourself

me laugh. You amt got enough sense tc

served the cook, when all formalities had
been complied with. "You mind that job
you done said as you'd give me next year,
running your mule ranch?"
My mind was quite clear on the propo-
sition.
"Well, you give it to Bobby" Dave re-
quested. "He's fine hand with mule or
a boss, is Bobby. He's honest, too. That
was just mistake of his, he tells me-
He might mistake my mules for his.
A mule is a shy, sensitive creature, you
know"
"No, he WON'T" said the cook with
grin-he drove mule-team to the chuck
wagon and was entitled to a grin-"Bob-
by'll make good man for you. An the
pay is just what he needs
Il believe John Riley was right, after all,
Dave"
"What did Riley say?"
"You haven't got enough sense to steal
calf"
"No-oo," said the cook wistfully. 81

By nightfall he had freed the penniless,
penitent culprit. GO an get srave," he
ordered, inspecting the youth with disfavor,
when they stood outside the place of de-
tention. can say, Bobby! Perhaps you'd
better make it bath, too. 1t CANT do any
harm"
All that evening Dave spent in exhorta-
ton, drawing on SO many practical Mustra-
tions from his own life that Bobby marveled
the cook should be alive at all.
In the white of noon they drew rein in
front of the Davis home and Mrs. Davis
came out in wonderment. As for Mary
Lou she was suddenly overwhelmed with
shyness and at that moment was hiding be-
hind the kitchen door. Emboldened by
what Dave had told him, Bobby clanked
thither in search of her, and presently could
be heard struggling manfully with the knob
and pleading with the fugitive.
Dave sat on bench outside and refreshed
Blackwater. He needed something with
which all the forces of his body and soul
could battle, and this furnished it. Very
soon came Bobby, oddly discounted.
Il reckon there's been mistake, Dave"
he mumbled.
"How's that, Bobby" said Dave.
"She done laughed at me, Mary Lou did.
Said she thought it was you pulling on the
door, or She d never have bothered to hold
it. She says =. she says -.
"What?" cried the cook
"She done said as reminded her Of her
baby brother an SO she felt sorry for me-"
came the shamefaced admission.
Dave threw the cigar far from him. He
entered the house, and this time Mary Lou
did not hide. What passed between then,
was lost to Bobby, but portion of their
later conversation foated out into the
kitchen where Mrs. Davis affected to cook,
and she threw up her hands over the in
scrutable promptings of her sex.
Mary Lou, how can you care mite for
me? You're so young an little" Dawes
big voice was sunk to whisper. AN I'm
getting old, reckon, an an fat

we arranged with Mr.. Riley for the return
of his property. Mr.. Riley, who was
practical fellow, earnestly advised me to
maintain close watch over Dave, as it was

the cottonwood would sweep Dave from the
saddle; it was too low to duck under. The
cook saw the danger, and kicked bis feet free
and grasped the limb with both hands and
his waistline. The steer pounded away
through the dust of the plain and Dave
