face, fol cling herself to calmness again
or at least to sanity. She had to go
back. She told herself so, many times.
So Billy Louise went back to the
cabin, slowly. with shaking legs and
heart that fluttered and stopped,
fiuttered and jumped and stopped, and
made her stagger as she walked. She
reached the doorstep and stood there
with her palms pressing hard against
her cheeks again. you've gol to do
1t. You've got tor she whispered to
herself commandingly.
She never doubted that Ward was
inside. She thought she would find
him dead--dead and horrible, perhaps.
No other solution seemed to fit the
circumstances. He was in there, dead.
1t took courage to open that door,
but Billy Louise had courage enough
to open it, and to step inside and close
the door after her. She did not look
at anything in the cabin while she did
it, though. She kept her eyelids down
so that she only saw the floor directly
in front Of the door. She had sense
Of relief that it looked perfectly nat
ural, though dusty.
Throw up your hands!" came
hoarsely from the bunk. Billy Louise
gasped and pulled her gun, and
dropped crouching to the floor. Also
she looked up.
From her crouching position she
looked into Wards fever-wiId eyes.
He was sitting up in the bunk, and he
was pointing his big forty-five at her
relentlessly. sect up from there I" he
ordered sternly. s'Don't try any game
like that or me, Buck Olney! Get up
and go over and sit in that chair. I've
got few things to say to YOU"
Billy Louise somehow grasped the
truth, up to a certain point. Ward was
sick; so sick he didn't know her.
She thought she would better humor
him. She got up and went and sat in
the chair as he directed.
Ward, keeping tht gun pointing her
way, sneered at her In a way that
made the soul of Billy Louise crimple.
She faced him big-eyed, too amazed
at the change in him to feel any fear
that he would harm her. He had whis-
kers two inches long. She wouldn't
have known him except for his hair
and that was terribly tousled: and his
eyes, though they were wild and angry.
His voice was hoarse, and while he
glared at her, he coughed with hard,
croupy resonance.
$50. you came back, did yuh?" he
asked grin1y at last. "WeIl, you didn't
get chance to plug me in the back.
How long did you lay up there on the
bluff this time, waiting to catch me
when wasn't looking? I've been wish
ing I'd left that rope so it would have
hung you, you -w Chilly Louise
listened round-eyed to certain man
sized epithets strange to her ears.)
81 suppose you and Foxy and that
halfbreed have been fixing up some
more evidence, huh? You figure that
/ can't catch 'em this time and work
the brands over, so they'll stand YES,
and I'll get railroaded to the pen.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Hookin'-c Man.

DILLY LOUISE waited another
minute or two, weighing the pos
sibilities. She saw Wards fin
gers drop away from the gun, but they
remained close enough for a danger
ously quick gripping of it again, If the
within seized him. Still-surely to
goodness, Ward would never get crazy
enough to hurt her! Perhaps her fem
mime assurance OF her hold on him
more than her courage, kept her nerves
fairly steady. She bit the pencil alb
sently, watching him.
Ward turned his head restlessly OF
the pillow and conghed again. Billy
I >uise got up quietly, went close to
the bed. and laid her hand on his fore
head. His head was hot. and the veins
were swollen and throbbing on his
temples
Brave Buckaroo got headache?'
she queried softly, stroking his tenn
pies soothinglv "Got the hookin'-
cough. too. Got every measly thing he
can think OF. E-cn got a crouch against
the Flower OF the Ranch-oh 7" Her
voice was crooninglv soft and sweet,
as if she were murmuring over sleepy
baby.
Ward closed his eyes. opened them.
and looked up into her face. One
hand came up uncertainty and caught
her fingers closely. "Wilhelmina-
mine!" he said. in his hoarse voice.
His eyes cleared to sanity under her
touch
Billy Louise drew small sigh OF re-
lief and reached unobtrusively with
her free hand for the gun. She slid
1t down away from his fingers, and
when he still paid no attention, she
picked 1t up quite openly and laid 1t
against the footboard. Ward did not
say anything. He seemed altogether
occupied with the amazing reality OF
her presence.
you've got terrible cold and from
the looks of things, you've had it for
about six months" said Billy Louise.
Her eyes went comprehensively about
that end OF the cabin, with the de-
pleted cracker box. the half-emptied
the buckets that were all but empty
Of water. She was shocked at the pitt
full evidence Of long helplessness. She
did not quite understand. Surely
Wards cold had not kept him in bed
so long.
swell, this is no time for mirth or
laughter" she said briskly, to hide how
close she was to hysteria, "since II
looks very much like the morning
after First, we've got to tackle that
fever of yours" She picked up a
water pail and started for the door
AS she passed the foot of the bunk,
she confiscated the two revolvers ana
took them outside with her. She had
no desire to be mistaken again for
Buck Olney.
When she came back Wards eyes
were wild again, and he started up
in bed and glared at her. Billy Lou
Use laughed at him and told him to lie
down like nice buckaroo, and Ward,
recalled to himself by her voice.
