do the work of a man.
But Billy. who had roughed it at
times. didn't mind living for awhile
in Il wilderness and performed his du-

that Billy be supplied with a strong
man for handling freight and trucks.
and Billy spent most Of his time be-
tween trains-some trains were hours
apart-at Il ranch house not a mile
from the station. At such times his
assistant. Jim Horgan, was in charge.
and even if the agent wasn't there
when a train passed Morgan could sell
tickets.
What drew Billy to the ranch house
was the seventeen-year-old daughter
of the rancher. Mr.. Archibald. The
ranchman had been a merchant in the
east and had gone west ten years
before to raise sheep instead of mer-
chandising, because he needed a dry
| air and an out of door life. His
! daughter. Daisy. was sever years old
when he removed his home and had
| grown up a rancher's instead of a mer-
| chants child. She could ride. shoot.
swing u lasso and if necessary lend
a hand at herding.
Daisy. being Of the mating age, was
ready for attention from the opposite
sex and before Billy McElligotts APP
pearance had permitted such attention

usually to be met in new countries.
