SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER I-Marthy, low-browed, un-
combed. harsh OF voice and speech and
nature, with her shiftless husband Jase,
journey over desert trail, driving four
oxen and are the pioneers whose lurching
wagon first fords the Wolverine stream.
Jase Is ready to stop at the first green
spot, but Marthy insists on Flooding along
another full days journey. That night,
through natural instinct, two of the oxen
stray into a narrow gorge and feast on
the rich grasses of the Cove, where they
are found by Marthy who recognizes the
little, hidden Eden as the place of her
dreams and the pioneers at once take pos
session. Later they are Joined by an
other couple who are impressed with the
Wolverine and also establish a home. To
them is born a daughter. christened Billy
Louise.
CHAPTER II-After a visit to Marthy.

home late, I'm a snow storm. having met
a stranger riding over the same trail. He
Is invited to stop for the night and Is well

CHAPTER JI-Marthy is Mortified TO
find that Jase has died during the night.
Digging a grave in a level place above
the main ditch, she wheels Jase's body
on the homemade wheelbarrow and

too. Aunt Marthy is rather rvO
about this gorge now. Every evening
she walks up here herself to make sure
the bars are closed"
You may as well make up your
mind to it." said Billy Louise irrele-
vanity in a tone of absolute certainty.
'1Those calves were driven out of the
gorge. That means stolen. You needn't
accuse any n in particular. l dont
suppose you could. But they were
stolen"
Charlie frowned and glanced up spec
ulatively at the bluffs rim.
"Oh, your mountain sheep theory is
no good" Billy Louise giggled. II
doubt If a lizard even would try to
leave the Cove over the bluff" which
certainly was a sweeping statement
when you consider a lizards habits.
"A mountain sheep couldn't anyway"
They're hummers to climb"
But calves are not, Mr.. Fox Not
like that. You know yourself they were
stolen. Why not admit it?"
Would hat do any good-bring
them back?" he countered. looking up
at her.
"N-o, but / do hate TO see a person
deliberately shut his eyes in front of a
fact. We may as well admit to BUR
selves that there is a rustler in the
country. Then we can look out for
him"
Charles eyes had the troubled look.
"I hate to think that. Aunt Martha
insists that is what we are up against.
but"
"Well, she knows more about 1t than
you do, believe me. If you'll let down
the bars. Mr.. Fox, I'll hit the trail.
and If / find out anything I'll let you
know at once"
When she rode over the bleak up
land she caught herself wishing that
she might talk the thing over with
Ward. He would know just what
ought to be done. But winter was CON-
ing. and she would drive her stock
down into the fields she had ready.
They would be safe there surely. Still,
she wished Ward would come. She
wanted to talk it over with a man who
understood and who knew more about
such things than she did.
The fate of the four heifer calves be-
came permanently wrapped in the
blank fog OF mystery. Billy Louise
watched for them when she rode out In
the hills and spent a good deal of time
heretofore given W. to dreaming In
trying to solve the riddle of their dis
appearance. Charlie Fox insisted upon
keeping to the theory that they had
merely strayed. Marthy grumbled
sometimes over the loss, and Ward
well, Ward did not put in an appear
ance again that fall or winter and so
did not hear of the incident.
