caught the unmistakable tones of the
man he would like to kill. "Pll keep
cases and git him." Plotting against
some poor devil, as usual. Ward
thought and wondered if the man knew
he lived in this part of the country. If
he did, it might easily be
'Ill 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
the pressure he had put upon his self
control, and he was thinking, thinking.
The silence came creeping in on the
heels of the faint, interrupted sound
of their voices. Ward took a long
breath, discovered that he was grip
ping his gun as though his life depend
ed on hanging to it and rubbed his
numbed fingers absently After min
ute or so he mounted and rode down
to the corral.
Five dry cows and two steers snort
ed at his approach and crowded against
the farther rails. Ward gave Rather
a touch of the spurs, rode close to the

quently missed. He measured the dis
tance with his mind while the man
stood there talking to some one un-
seen. To look at Wards face you
would have sworn that the man was
doomed, but something held Wards s
finger from crooking on the trigger.
The man had his back turned squarely
toward the gun. Ward waited The
man did not move. He waited another
minute, and then he opened his lips to
shout. And when his lips parted for
the call that would bring the fellow
facing him Wards tricky brain snap
ped before his eyes the face of Billy
Louise.
He lowered the gun. He could not
shoot when he knew that the bullet
would split a gulf between himself
and the girl-a gulf that would sep
arate him forever from that future
where stood his air castles.
He let down the hammer with his
thumb, slid the gun back into it's hol-
ster and dismounted, with a glance to-
ward the place where the lookout was
stationed. He was sure he had not
been seen, and so he crouched behind
a splinter of rock and watched. He
had no plan, but his instinct impelled
him to closely watch Buck Olney.
Another man came into view down
there in the corral. He also stood
plainly revealed, and Ward gave a
little snort of contemptuous surprise
when he recognized him. After that
he studied the situation with scowling
his conclusions Or complicated his
manner of dealing with Buck Olney.
Ward would not have hesitated one
second about putting the sheriff on
the trail of Buck, but if the second
man were implicated he could not be-
tray one without betraying the other.
And if 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 kickad 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 a dark bay and was slim
and tall and wore gray hat.
Ward glanced at Rather standing
half asleep with reins dropped to the
ground. He reached out, took the
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 greet
ing. He was always self centered
beast and was content to go his way
alone, like his master.
Ward stood up, where he could see
the rim of the bluff over the ledge Of
lava rock. He might get closer view
and see who was the lookout, and he
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

and crossed the creek at point where
it was too rocky to leave any hOof
prints behind them. He rode up the
lower point of the ridge beyond and
followed the crest Of it on the side
away from the valley. When he reach
ed point nearly opposite his cabin he
dismounted, unbuckled his spurs and
slipped their chains over the saddle
horn. Then he went forward afOot to
reconnoiter. He was careful to avoid
rock or gravelly patches and to walk,
always on the soft grass, which muf-
fed his steps.
In this wise he made his way to the
top Of the ridge, where he could look
down upon the cabin and stable and
cOrrals and see also the creek trail for
a good quarter of a mile. The little
valley lay quiet. His team fed undis-
turbed by the creek not far from the
corral, which reassured Ward more
than anything. Still, he waited until
he had made reasonably sure that the
bluff held no watcher concealed before
he went back to where Rather waited
patiently.
Il guess they didn't plan to stir
things up till they got those critters
planted where they wanted them," he
mused while he rode down the bluff to
his cabin. "But when they visit that
bunch Of stock again I reckon things

He was wary of exposing himself
too much to view from the bluff while
he did his chores that night, and he
kept Rather in the stable; also he slept
very little, and before daybreak he
was up and away.
