toward the blazing stove. De Spain
went over the words one by one, and

much to weigh in her etched words,
much TO think about concerning her
feelings-not alone concerning his
own.
He dropped into his chair, and, OBJ
livious for a moment of his compan-
ions presence, stared into the fire.
When he started from his revery Bull
was asleep. De Spain picked him up
carried him in his blanket over to q
cot, cut the wet rags off him, and,
rolling him in a second blanket,
walked out into the barn and ordered
up team and light wagon for Sleepy
Cat. The rain fell all night.

CHAPTER XIII.
A Surprising Slip.

Scott was called by Lefever to con-
clude In secret the final arrangements.
The ground about the quaking asp
grove, and nearest FL Captain, afford
ed the best concealment close to the
gap. And to this point Scott was d.
rected to bring what men he could be-
fore daybreak the following morning.
"It's a short notice to get many
men together-of the kind we want"
admitted Lefever. you'll have to
sl1irmish some between now and mid
night. What do you think you can
dor"
Scott had already made up tenta-
tive list. He named four-hrst Far
rell Kennedy, who was In town, and
said nobody should go If he didn't ;
Frank Elpaso, the Texan; the English
man, Tommy Meggeson; and Wick
wire, If he could be located-any one
Of them, Leftover knew, could give an
account of himself under all circum-
stances.
While Scott was getting his men to-
gether, De Spain, accompanied by Lee
fever, was riding toward Music noun
tain. Scott had urged on them but
one parting cautlon-not to leave the
aspens until rain began falling. When
he spoke there was not cloud In the
sky. 'It's going to rain tonight, just
the same" predicted Scott. ''Dont
leave the trees till 1t gets going. Those
gap scouts will get under cover and
be hunting for a drink the minute II
gets c0ld--I know them. You can ride
right over their toes. II youn be pa
dent"

This sun set across the range m q
drift of grayish-black, low-lying
clouds, which seemed only to await its
disappearance to envelop the noun
tains and empty their moisture on the
desert. BY the time De Spain and Lee
fever reached the end of their long
ride a misty rain was drifting down
from the west. The two men had just
ridden into the quaking asps when a
man coming out Of the gap almost
rode into them. The intruders had
halted an6 we're sufficiently hidden to
escape notice, had not Lefever's horse
indiscreetly coughed. The man from
the gap refined up and called out. Lee
fever answered.

IT'S AN EARLY MORNING JOB
Raid on Destructive Garden Pests at
Right Time Much More Effective
Than Poison.

The boy who gets out early in the
morning in his young garden and be-
gins to pick squash bugs, cucumber
beetles, potato bugs, and such slugs
and cut and wire worms as are In
sight, with his thumb and forefnger
and drop them In a deep can, will do
more good than poison could do in
three days, says a writer in the Amer
lean Boy.
Pour boiling hot water into the tin
holding these insects to make sure
they are killed. Go the rounds every
morning. Do not wait until after
school, or late in the day, because they
have Toasted and crawled away to
sleep and rest-most Of them. Do not
try to pick them at noon because they
hide underground or behind leaves to
get out of the hot sun. But bright
and early in the morning they come
out with the sparkling dew to get
busy and eat the good things you
have planted. Get up an hour earlier
three mornings a week just to do
this, and the result will repay you ten
times over when your garden begins
to supply you with peas and beans and
cucumbers and lettuce and radishes
and many other delicacies.

at Can't Go On Forever"

calling to Bull at the same time to
come over to the shelter of the trees.
"What's going on In there, Bull2"
asked De Spain after Bull had told
him that Gale had driven him out, and
he was heading for Calabasas.
"You TELL" retorted Page. Looks
to me like old Dukes getting ready
to die. Gale says he's going to draw
his will tonight, and don't want no
body around-got old Judge Druel in
there"
De Spain pricked up his ears.
whats that, DruelT he demanded.
Bull repeated his declaration. Lefe-
yer broke into violent language at the
Sleepy Cat jurist's expense, and ended
by declaring that no will should be
drawn in the gap that night by Duke
Morgan or anybody else, unless he
and Bull were made legatees.
Beyond this nothing could be
learned from Bull, who was persuad-
ed without difficulty by Lefever to
abandon the idea of riding to Calaba-
sas through the rain, and to spend
the night with him in the neighbor-
hood, wherever fancy, the rain, and
the wind-which was rislng-should
dictate.
While the two were talking, De
Spain tried to slip away, unobserved
by Lefever, on his errand. He failed,
as he expected to, and after some ia
miliar abuse, rode of alone, fortified
by every possible suggestion at the
hands Of a man to whom the slightest
precaution was usually joke.
De Spain reached Dukes ranch I'M
challenged. Night had fallen every
where, and the increasing rain OBJ"
scured even the outline of the house.
But light shone through one incur
tanned window. He waited some time
for a sound of life, for a door to open
or close, or for the dog to bark-he
heard nothing. Slipping out of the
wet saddle, he led his horse in the
darkness under the shelter Of the lone
pine tree and, securing him, walked
slowly toward the house.
Mindful of the admonitions he had
been loaded WITH. he tramped around
the house in narrowing circles, paus'
ing at times to look and listen. In
like manner he circled the barn and
stables, until he had made sure there
was no ambush and that he was alone
outside. After time he stepped
around to the front Of the house,
where, screened by a bit of shrubbery,
he could peer at close range into the
living room.
Standing before the fire burning in
the open hearth, and with his back
to 1t, he now saw Gale Morgan. Sit
ting bolt upright beside the table,
square-jawed and obdurate, his stubby
brier pipe supported by his hand and
gripped In his great teeth, Duke Nor
gan looked uncompromislngly past his
belligerent nephew into the fire. A
third, and elderly man, heavy, red
faced, and almost toothless as he
spoke, sat to the right of the table in
a rocking chair, and looked at Duke /;
this was the old lawyer and justice
from Sleepy Cat, the sherlff's broth
er-Judge Druel.
Nan was not to be seen. Gale, big
and aggressive, was doing most of the
talking, and theoretically, as was his
habit. Duke listened thoughtfully,
but seemingly with coldress. Druel
looked from Gale to Duke, and APP
peared occasionally to put in word
to carry the argument along. 4
