| Ward would not have hesitated one
second about putting the sheriff on
the trail OF Buck, but II the second
man were implicated he could not be-
tray one without betraying the other.
And II the business down there In the
corral were lawful, then he must think
OF some other means. At any rate, the
thing to do now was to make sure.
The two In the corral came out and
closed the gate behind them, and the
first man kicked apart the embers of
a small fire and afterward busted him.
self with the ground, either looking for
tracks or covering them up. They
came = little way along the side Of the
bluff, mounted and rode up toward
where the lookout waited. And one of
them rode dark bay and was slim
and tall and wore a gray hat.
Ward glanced at Rather standing
half asleep with reins dropped to the
ground. He reached out, took tho
reins and led the horse farther down
under the shelter Of the ledge. Rat
tier pricked up his ears at the sound
Of those other riders, but he did not
show enough interest to nicker 4 greet
ing. He was always a self centered
beast and was content to 60 his way
alone, like his master.
Ward stood up, where he could see
the rim Of the blum over the ledge OF
lava rock. He might get 4 closer view
and see who was the lookout, and be
| might be seen. For that contingency
he kept his fingers close to his gun
He heard their scrambling progress.
Now and then one of the horses sent
a little rock bounding down into the
canyon, whereat the cattle in the corral
moved restlessly around the small In
closure.
They came closer after they had
gained the top. Ward, leaning against
the dull gray rock before him, heard
the murmur of their voices. Once he
caught the unmistakable tones Of the
man he would like to kill "I'n keep
cases and git him" Plotting against
some poor devil, as usual, Ward
he lived In this part Of the country. If
he did, 1t might costly be
"I'll keep cases some myself, you
reptile" he muttered under his breath.
you won't get me again, If that's
what you've got in mind"
They went on, and presently Ward
was looking at their backs as they
rode over the ridge. He stood for
some time staring after them with
what Billy Louise called his gimlet
| look. He was breathing shortly from

his shoulders b disgust Of M exutl0n.
II Buck Olnsy wanted anything Of
him he was certainly taking his time
about coming after it. Ward rubbed
his fingers over his stubbly Jaw, and
ths uncomfortable prickling was the
last small detail OF discomfort that de-
cidsa him. He was going to have 4
shave and . decent cup Of coffee and
eat Oh his own table or know the rea-
son Why, be promised himself while
be slapped the saddle on Rather.
He was camped In 4 sheltered littls
hollow In the hills, where the grass
was coed and there was = spring. 1t
was 4 mile and more to his claim,
straight across the upland, and 1t was
his habit to leave Rather there and
walk over to the ridge, where he could
watch his claim. Frequently, ~ have
said, he stole down before daylight and
lighted FIRE In the stove just to make
1t look n II he lived there. There was
Z risk In that, OF course, granting that
the stock inspector was the kind to liz
In wait for him.
Ward rode to the ridge with his blan-
ket rolled and tied behind the cautle.
His frying pan hung behind his leg,
and his ride lay across the saddle In
front of him. He was going home
boldly enough and recklessly enough,
but he was by no means disposed to
walk deliberately into trap. He kept
his eye peeled, a. he would have ex-
pressed 1t. Also he left Rather Just
under the crest Of the ridge, took OF
his spurs and with his ride In his
hands went forward afoot, ~ he had
done every time he had approached his
cabin since the day he found the cor
raj and the cattle In the canyon.
In this wise he looked down the steep
slope with the sun throwing the shad-
ow Of his head and shoulders before
him. The cabin window blinked cheer
fully In the sunlight. His span Of
mares were coming up from the mead
OWN the faint hope Of getting 4
breakfast of oats, perhaps. The place
looked peaceful enough and cozily de-
sirable to 4 man who has slept out for
four nights late In the fall, but 4 glance
was all Ward gave to 1t.
His eyes searched the blur below him
and upon either side. OF q sudden they
sharpened. He brought his rife for
ward with an involuntary motion of
the arms. He stood SO for Z breath or
two, looking down tho hill. Then he
went forward stealthily on his toes;
swiftly, too, SO that presently he was
close enough to see the carbuncle scar
on the neck of the man crouched be-
hind a rock and watching the cabin
as q cat watches a mouse hole. A rife
lay across the rock before the man,

were straining every nerve to hold
back the German advance which they
did finally at the Marine a French gen.
eral, so the story goes, refused to open
orders sent by an officer who had been
promoted over his head. The message,
like the dispatch in the Franeo-Prus-
sian war, was "lost" and division,
which was left without support, was
almost annihilated. The story goes
that the general was ordered shot.

pain over my unfaithfulness was not
as great as over the fact that you
had been betrayed by one OF your

more than anything else; and, Mar

that you seemed to care more for
the betrayal by Eleanor than you
did for my unfaithfulness was my
greatest grief.
TT really stunned me. stIll had

vaudeville and burlesque do not ep-

will explain:
I'VE don't want to see girls and
dancing. We don't care for singing.
We much prefer rural drama or
pastoral plays-something akin to
real nature. It's more home-like,
you know"
And there's another reason These
young men are out to fight. not to
spend money. They can see a drama
for reasonable price-but a Win

Incidentally, the majority Of these
young men have a limited supply of

you found her letter to me. At the
time I rather resented II, but now
1 know that Eleanor was right
"She said, I know dear, that IL the
world should ever come to know, or
IL even you were afraid that our
beautiful love would be known to
the world. you would sacrifice both
me and 1t to responsibility and
convention
That is true, Msrgie, perfectly
true; most men will choose respect
ability instead of scandal If it be
possible.
"In my case dear. was very glad
to end II all and / know now that
1 was not very kind to poor Eleanor
in the matter. We men never are
kind to women who let us know that
we own them. Margie. That is one
of the things you women have
taught US by your smiling subser-
vience to our wills. When the show
down comes, IL only one need suffer
IL will be the woman.
The great hurt to me dear was
that from that day there was some
thing I missed from you love. From
that day you were never quite the
same. You not only lost some Of
your trust, but you also lost some
of your beautiful tenderness. your
sweet and unqualified faith"
