CHAPTER XVI


ii I breakfast next morning Cava-
"A nagh said: Il must ride back
and take some bread TO the
a y dog. can't go away and
leave him there without saying hello"
Let me do that" suggested Wether-
ford "I'm afraid to go down to the
Fork. reckon I'd better go back and
tend the sheep TIL Gregg sends some
one up to take my place"
THAT might be too late to see LAse
Lees voice showed great anxiety. She
may be ON her deathbed- No: you'd
better go down with me today" he
urged. And at last the old man con-
scented.
Putting some bread IN his pockets,
Ross rode or up the trail to see how
the dog and his flock were faring. He
had not gone far when he heard the
tinkle Of the bells and the murmur OF
the lambs, and q few moments later
the collie came toward him with the
air Of boy who, having assumed to
disregard the orders Of his master, ex-
poets q scolding. he plainly said:
I've brought my sheep to you because
was lonesome. Please forgive me-"
Cavanagh caIled to him cheerily and
tossed him piece OF bread, which he
caught In his teeth. but did not swal-
low. On the contrary, he held it while
leaptng for jog OF the praise he heard
in his new found masters voice.
Turning the dock upward toward the
higher peaks. the ranger commanded
the collie to their heels and so, having
redeemed his promise, rode back to the
cabin, where he found Wetherford sad
died and ready for his momentous trip
to the valley. He had shaved away
his gray beard, and had Ross been un-
prepared for these changes. he would
have been puzzled to account for this
decidedly military figure sitting statu-
esquely on his pony before the door.
You can prove an alibi." he called
as he drew near. Gregg himself would
never recognize you now"
Wetherford was in no mood for jok-
ing. Like Will / wore a mustache In
the old days, and there's a scar on my
chin"
AS be rode he confded this strange
thing to Cavanagh. 81 know" said he,

feel, but Lee Virginia means more to
me now than Lie"

Cavanagh, with sympathy In his voice

open exultation OF the very men whose
persistent attempt to appropriate pub

thwart ''RedfeId VIII go next The

Then. as Swenson says, the thieves

As he reached the end Of this line Of
despairing thought he came back to
the question Of his remaining personal
Obligations. Wetherford must be cared
for, and then-and then-there was Vir-
ginia waiting for him at this moment.
''For her sake, TO save her from hui
initiation, win help her father to free

This brought him back TO the hide
Gus tragedy Of the heights, and with
that thought the last shred Of faith tn

nagh observed what he was doing, but
his lax hand did not intervene Help
less TO make the decision himself, he
welcomed the Intervention Of the hon.
