A knowed he was a snake all pizenln 4
swore Tenspot angrily
Hey, Ned" cried Salvation Carroll He
was seen leaving Medicine week ago last Fri
day Frank Goeh told me this mornin'.
There's yore beginninl"
Curley Tate showed rifle in his hand and
beltful OF cartridges in the other: Hey, Waf-
ics, he called, but the foreman was not there.
"D--n coyote!" growled Tenspot, going
outnto the moonlight As he got half way to
the corral he heard swearing and found his
foreman putting Balls saddle on an ugly
pinto, said pinto objecting enthusiastically at
such an ndignity at night
Ball ran up and the pony saved the re-
mainder Of its pugnacity for more opportune
occasion.
"There's tn meanest, ugliest chunk of
spring steel cussedness ever put under sad
die Waftles nted But ther amt moth
ing in thi' try can lose him. You can't

hes, not yet entirely recovered from his sur
prise. 9Th coyote went unhung too long"
" wouldn't give two cents an my chances

Tenspot grinlly Bet he begs like the cow

was no one to stop him no one to sound a
warning, for the bartender had left his post
for the moment
The newcomer was gaunt, unshaven, and
heavy y-eyed from lack Of sleep, for he had
trailed like master for the past three weeks
and had pushed on doggcdly from town to
town. ranch 70 ranch, and with but little rest,
Aclue here and there, his iscowboy y'straining and
stimulated wits had led him unerringly over
the hard trail
Parker, turning from the stairs, heard a
boardsqueak in the front room and jerked out
bis gun, his smile fading instantly. A figure
leaped through the doorway and, catching its
spurs in the wet blankets which Parker had
spread on the floor to dry, stumbled and fell.
The two reports were as one, and the figure
did not move. Parker, holding his bullet
torn cheek, leaped aside and nred again, his
movements as quick as those Of cat The
roar Of the guns in the small room had half
deafened him and he peered through theeddy-
ing clouds OF acrid smoke at the quiet figure
sprawlcd on the floor against the other wall
He did not hear the hurrying steps on the
stairs or know that anyone else was in the
room until she stood before him.
Her wild glance flashed from him TO the 81
lent figure, towards which she ran, kneeing
by its side and gazing long and earnestly on
the face She knew so we'll Parker looked on
amazed, and was still further bewildered
when she turned her head and looked at him.
Cot she whispered Leave me-
Stunned into obedience he walked slowly
to the bar, gulped down big drink and
stepped into the wild night there to pace up
and down and ask himself the inevitable why.
Alone with her husband the erring wife
crossed his arms on his chest and tenderly
slnoothed back the tangled hair from his brow
and, bending, kissed him once on the lips;
then, rising to her feet, without backward
glance she sped through the rear door and on
to the corral.

Tex and Lefty rode TO pay visit to Balls
hill range and we're glad to do it for the man
both liked so well, and sympathized with so
deeply They rode at lope past hundreds
of grazing cattle scattered over the range and
as they approached the hills they saw many
of Balls COWS among their own, the rough
N B on their hanks prominent through the
shaggy winter coats.
When they entered the pass they exchanged
looks and increased their pace, for fresh hoof
marks went up the trail Was it Ball, re-
turned 10 his own2 Perhaps it might be
Parker or, mayhap, range jumper. They
loosened their Colts as they went on and were
prepared for anything; il ii were Parker or a
range Jumper there would be a fight
"Iherel Smoke from tn chimney" ex-
claimed Tex as they turned the last bend be-
fore reaching the cabin "An' saddle out
side tf' door"
Yes, an a cayuse in tn corral. He's
making hisself at home, whoever he is"
Lefty replied "1'herc, that's Balls saddle,
all right remember them scalloped aaps2'
Tex stood up in his srrrups and shouted;
Hey Ball Whoop-e-e, Ball"
Somebody moved in til house-went past
tn side window Lefty remarked drawing
his ride out OF its sheath by his leg. Hope
it's Ball but mcbby it amt, he muttered
As they dsmounted before the cabin the
door opened part way and woman looked
out at them,
"l-ah--morning, Mrs Ball, /" Tex began,
surprised and at a loss, for he had not ex-
pected to see her, and he had no regard for a
woman who would leave her husband, more
especially when it was for a man like Parker.
"ls yorc hus--is Ned about" he asked.
Then he stared blankly, for the door shut in
his face and he heard the bar drop into its
place with thud. "Well, I'm d-d!" he
