toes. Ward used them for a table and
set the lantern there when he wanted
TO read in bed. Hes got pretty good
supply OF grub" was the verdict OF
Billy Louise. sizing up the assortment
while she nibbled at the piece of jerky.
Il wonder where hegis anyway" And
a moment later: He oughtn't to hang
his best clothes up like that. They'll
be all wrinkled when be wants to put
them on"
She went over and disposed of the
best clothes to her liking and shook out
the dust. She had to own to herself
that for bachelor Ward was very Or
derby. though he did let his trousers
hang down over the -four sacks In a
way to whiten their hens. She hung
them in a different place.
But where was Ward? Billy Louise
bethought her that Blue deserved
something to eat after that hard ride
and led him down to the stable There
was no sign of Rather, and Billy
Louise wondered anew at Wards alb
sence. 1t did not seem consistent with
his haste to leave the Wolverine and
his frequent assertion that he must get
to work. From the stable door she
could look over practically the whole
| creek bottom within his fence. and she
could see the broad sweep OF the hills
on either side. On her way back to
the cabin she tried to track Rather,
but there were several stock trails

BILE Of hills and deep gsshed canyon
But Billy Louise felt AS though some
thing precious had died She should
have gone down and investigated and
turned those cattle loose--that is. II
she dared. Well. she dared; il was not
fear that held her to the upper slopes.
She did not want to know what brand
they bore or whether an iron had scar
ed fresh marks.
"Oh, God y she said once aloud. and
there was a prayer and a protest, a
curse and a question all In those two
words.
| SO trouble-trouble that sickened her
very soul and choked her into dumb
ness and squeezed her heart so that
the ache OF 1t was agony-came and
rode with her through the brooding
dusk of the canyons and over the
brighter hilltops.
Billy Louise did not remember any,
thing much about that ride except that
she was glad the way was long. Blue
carried her steadily on and on and
needed no guiding. and though Wolyer-
inc canyon was black dark in most
places she liked it so.
John Pringle WAS standing by the
gate waiting for her, which was I'M
usual, If Billy Louise had been normal
enough to notice 1t. He came forward

CHAPTER V-Continued.


Far over to the eastward black dot
moved up green slope and slid out Of
sight beyond That might be Ward
taking short cut across the hill to his
claim beyond the pine dotted ridge that
looked purple in the distance. Billy
Louise sighed with a vague disQuiet
and turned to look away to the north,
where the tumble Of high hills grew
more rugged with the valleys narrow
er and deeper.
Here came two other dots, larger and
more clearly defined as horsemen.
From mere objects that stood higher
than any animal and moved with a
purposeful directness they presently
became men who rode with the easy
swing of habit which has become a
second nature They must have seen
her sitting still upon her horse in the
midst of that high, sunny plateau. for
they turned and rode up the slope to-
ward her
Billy Louise waited, too depressed to
wonder greatly who they were. Sea
beck riders probably. And so they
proved. At least one of them was a
.-Seabeck man-Floyd Carson, who had
talked with her at her own gate and
had told her of the suspected cattle
stealing. The other man was a stran-
ger, whom Floyd introduced as Mr..
Birken.
They had been "prowlIng around"
according to Floyd, trying to see what
they could see. Floyd was one of
those round-faced, round-eyed young
fellows who do not believe much in
secrecy and therefore talk freely when
ever and wherever they dare. He
said that Seabeck had turned them
loose to keep cases and see If they
couldn't pick up the trail Of these rus
tiers who were trying to get rich of a
running iron and long rope. Qf you
are of the West you know what that
means, and If you are not you ought to
guess that 1t means stealing cattle and
let it go at that) 1t was not until he
had talked for ten minutes or so that
Billy Louise became more than mildly
interested in the conversation.
Say, Miss Macdonald" Floyd asked
by way of beginning a new paragraph,

for her own horse both from habit and
preference.
"Yor mommie, she's SICK" he an
nounced stolidly. "She's worry you
maybe hurt yoreself. 70 better go,
maybe"
Billy Louise did not answer, but ran
up the path to the cabin. "Oh, has
everything got to happen all at once p

"Yor mommie's SICK" Phoebe an
nounced in a whisper. "She's crazy
cause you been SO long. She's awful

Billy Louise said nothing, but went
In where her fther lay moaning, her
face white and turned to the ceiling.
Billy Louise herself had pulled up her
reserves of strength and cheeriulners,
and the fingers she laid on her mothers
forehead were cool and steady.
Poor old mommie! Is it that nasty
lumbago again?" she asked caressin9ly
and did not permit the tiniest shade of
anxiety to spoil the reinsurance OF her
presence. Il went farther than usual
and Blues pretty tender, so eased him
along, and I'm fearfully late. l sup
pose you've been having all kinds of
disasters happening to me-" She was
passing her fingers soothingly over her

moan so much as when she came into
the room.
"Of course I worried. wish you
wouldn't take them long rides. Oh, l
guess it's lumbago- seems
like 1t amt, either. The pain seems to

more than medicine. Her mothers eyes
closed YEARLY while the girl talked;
the muscles OF her face relaxed little
from their look OF pain.
Billy Louise bent and laid her lips
lightly on her mothers cheek. Poor

Foch Is Attacking
To DISCOVER Where
Next Blow Viii Fall
By Arthur S. Draper
Especial Gable to The Tribune)

Copyright. 1918. by Tho Tribune Assocation)
LONDON, June 30-A state of ex-
pectant stagnation prevails on the
French front, The general situation is
little affected:by the intense LEGAL oper-
ations which have been successfully
carried out by the British. French and
Americans.
The French report several fruitful
surprise attacks west of Hangard and
south of Autreches, besides local opera
tions yesterday south of the Ourcq, be-
tween Molloy and Passy-en-V -Valois.
The British are outstanding the
enemy's efforts to recapture the
ground taken from him east of Nieppe
Forest. The Germans developed initia-
tive in the Vosges, attempting to raid
the Americans there, and two surprise
attacks are reported by the Franch.
The British also report considerable
hostile artillery activity in the Albert
sector, south of the Scarpe, and near
Festubert.
Foch's local attacks are intended to
improve the Allied positions and to
obtain data for keeping track of the
movement of troops behind the enc
my's lines. The puzzle before him con-
sists in deciding where will the Ger
mans deliver their next big attack
According to Lloyd George, the blow
is expected daily if not hourly, hut ex-
perience has been that the Gernaans
have taken longer to prepare their at
tacks than anticipated
