Several mornings later tho on.
trio Bat Wing outfit pulled out for
the big roundup.
A ganRllnR youth acted the par
OF assistant 10 the horse. wranRier,
and an open-faccd Individual drove
the bed wagon for Gloomy Gus: bu.
Bowlcs rode out with the COW boyg.
That night they camped at a
ranch. throwing down their beds In
barns and sheds. and eating In the
open. The next day they combed
the distant mountain. riding far
over the rocky slopes. and branding
In canon. On tho third day the
wind brought up rain and sieet. and
the mountains were powdered with
snow. but the roundup moved on
ine1orablY.
Then the wind yeered TO the east
and the air became bitter cold;
Gloomy Gus could hardly cook for
the gale that assaulted him, and the
wrangler lost eight or ten horses;
but still the hardy cowboys rode
and cut and branded. for a round
up never stops for wind and
weather.
A week passed. and the wind
grew warmer. tho u stu swept ~
from the southeast. The outfit
reached the limit OF it's circle and
turned toward home. sending its
cuts OF dogies on before 81. On
the first OF NAV they were con
tracted 20 be delivered at Chula
Vista. there TO be shipped TO Col.
oradO and the Texas Panhandle and
fattened into steers.
But feed was short. for the cold
had set back the grass. and Henry
Lee had wired that he could deliver
on the twentieth. SO while be
waited for an answer he sent his
cattle ahead OF him. and every day
as he rode he watched for a mes
senger from home.
Nor was he alone In this. for the
messenger would be Dixie: but no
one said a word. II was part OF the
patience Of these rugged sons OF
the desert that they should make
no sign. They were camped in a
grove OF sycamores beneath the
shelter OF hill. and the outfit was
gathered about the fire. when she
rode In at the end OF the day.

that II was post Of honor.
Awful stories OF cowboys who
had gone 10 sleep on guard were
told by the fire at night and thc
danger from sudden Btampedes was
played mp TO the skies. The monot-
ony OF the job was admitted, but
tho responsibility was great. 80
Bowles accepted the position glad.

falling into lovelorn reyerles on the
subject OF Dixie Lee.
Tho game OF love was new to
Bowles; Just 10 be near her Was
all he knew. and the future must
solve the rest. So he sat on the
boundless prairie and communed
with his own sad heart.
He was engaged ia this peaceful
occupation when. on the second
day. he noted moving figure. II

There were three other worth

already. Steadily she pounded

her as she bore down on him, her
head turned back 20 fling a gay re-
tort to the man she Just left. She
rode 10 the right OF him. and as she
faced about and met his glance she
stared, as II surprised.
