was a typical westerner; but, having
made money at raising sheep, he held
his head pretty high. He had daugh-
ter. l.Osn. who was a rustic beauty.
Muldrough didn't propose that Rosa
should take up with a cowpuncher or
anything like that. He intended her for
a ranchmnn. like himself. who rode
over his broad acres and bossed others.

daughter. true enough. but not the

Stubbs. He came out from Missouri
TO start ranching on fifty acres OF land
and with dozen sheep He was the
homeliest man In the west and so ig-
norant was he OF western ways that
he didn't even carry a revolver. He
caught sight Of Rosa Muldrough one
day skimnlng along on horseback. for
all the world like a swallow. only a
hundred times as pretty, and he want
ed her right on.
He was very honorable fellow.

he was homely. One morning Null
