this long explanation
How'd you come ia know So much
about tbe Widow Chimney demanded
Harry Barry suspirious'y

tBnocently
Anybody seen the widow yetf' iu

There was silence FOR several SEQ. b,
onds. aud an eyes turned toward the
Crane. who was staring u4ISHcross the
range
For the Lords sake, bee broke out

His horse swung around To quick
touch. and before the others could
draw breath he was dashing after the
red spot. which was gradually 6ecom
Ing smaller In another instant they 4
were all after him
The red heifer switched Der tail
saucily and capered joyonsly ahead or
the pursuing cattlemen

eeutleman's ear when be had come

The red heifer gamboled I'm the van,

marks Of identity
The red heifer had been the pet
amusement of all the catuemen In Pm
lsrdo county for six months past /
Lately her sudden appearance among I
herd was the signal for a stampede
for the branding iron that would mark
her for the time being as the posses
sion OF the ranch whose latest brand
she bore AS these brands merely
singed the thick hair on her body, they
were oblterated as rapidly as her coat
heightened Where she came from no
body could positively say. but II was
believed that she was wild COW
which had joined some herd on the
ranges unknown TO the tenders
Ever since the Three star ranch,
which adioined the Lone Bull on the
west, had been purchased by the wild
ow OF one Daniel Clancy. late of New
York city. the red heifer had appar-
emily staked a claim on the widows
property, for II mingled with her herds
and seemed content to remain among
the rather scrubby lot OF cattle which
Peter Henry had picked out for the
newcomer
The Lone Bull people had known
very little about the Widow Clancy ex-
cept that occasionally they had de

red hair" the boss wife had added
with a twinkle in her eve
Not for minel" Harry Barry had
calculated, and the others had echoed
his sentiment AS by one accord they
all avoided the Three Star property
and the well defined trail which had
once parked the DpighbOrlineS- bp
tween the ranches was now hidden
with several months growth Of rank
grass
Now the spirit of mischief had sud
denly possessed tile solemn Crane and
he had deliberately led the pursuit aft
er the red heifer that had been peace
fully grazing on the widows range for
several weeks
The spirited horses took fences
