Young Gregg, without knowing III the
least the cause of her troubled face,
took this occasion to offer comfort
His manner toward her had changed
since she no longer had part in the
management Of the eating house, and
for that reason she did not repulse him
as sharply as she had been wont to
do. He really bore Cavanagh no i'll
will and was, indeed, shrewd enough
to understand that Lee admired the
ranger and that his own courtship was
rather hopeless Nevertheless he per-
sisted, his respect for her growing as
he found her steadfast in her refusal
to permit any familiarity.
"See here, Miss Virginia." he cried
as she was passing him in the hall, II
can see you're worried about Lize-I
mean your mother-and If I can be
of any use hope you'll call on me"
AS she thanked him without enthusi.
asm he added, "How is she tonight?"
II think she's better"
"Can see herT'
His tone was so earnest that the girl
was moved to say, "I'll ask her.
II wish you would. want to say
something to her."
Lies voice reached where they
stood. "Come in, Joe; the doors
open"
He accepted her invitation rather
awkwardly, but his face was impas-
sive as he looked down upon her.

"They are. They're going up there
in streams to see where the work was
done. The coroner's inquest was held
yesterday" He grinned. "'Partie'

Known"
Lie scowled. ITS wonder they
don't charge 1t up to Ross Cavanagi
Or some other ranger"
THAT would be little too raw
even for this country. They're al
