CHAPTE .
At the Roundup Club.

A big game had been in progress all
night at the Roundup club. Now the
garish light Of day streamed through
the windows. but the electric cluster
stlll flung down its yellow glare upon
the table. The men were In their
shIrtsleeves. Big broad-shouldered fel-
lows they were, with the marks OF the
outdoors hard-ridlng West upon them.
No longer young. they were still full
of the vigor and energy of uniiagging
strength From bronzed faces looked
steady unwinklng eyes with humorous
creases around the corners, hard eyes
that Judged man and his claims
shrewdly and with good temper. Most
of them had made good In the land,
and their cattle fed upon a thousand
hills.
The least among them physically
was Luck Culllson, yet he was their
recognized leader There was some
innate quality In this man with the
gray. steel-chilled eyes that marked
him as first in whatever company he
chose to frequent. A good friend and
a good foe, men thought seriously be-
fore they opposed him. He had made
himself q power in the Southwest he
cause he was the type that goes the
limit when aroused.
While Alec Flandrau shuffied and
dealt. the players relaxed. Cigars
were relit, drinks ordered. Conversa-
ton reverted to the ordinary topics
, that interested Cattleland. The price
Of cows, the good rains, the time Of
the fall roundup. were touched upon.
The door opened to let In a new
conner. a slim, graceful man much
younger than the others present, and
one whose costume and manner
brought additional color into the pic
ture. Flandrau, senior. continued to
shuttle without turning his head. Gull
lison also had his back to the door,
but the man hung his broad-rimmed
gray hat on the rack-beside an ex-
actly similar one that belonged to the
owner of the Circle C-and moved
Ieisurely forward till he was within
range Of his vision.
"Going to prove up soon on the Del
Orc claim of yours. Luckf' asked
F1andrau.
He was now dealing, his eyes on
the cards, so that he missed the en-
barrassment In the faces OF those
about him.
"on Thursday, the first day the law
.uoys," Cullison answered quietly,

The words we're flung at Flandrau. but
plainly they were meant as a challenge
for Cullison.
Fendrick passed to the rear room
for drink. His lmpudence needed
fortlfying, for he knew that since he
had embarked In the sheep business he
was not welcome at this club. that In
fact certain members had suggested
his name be dropped from the books.
Before he returned to the poker table
the drink he had ordered became
three.
The game was over and accounts
were being stralghtened. Cullison
was the heavy loser. The settlement
showed that the owner Of the Circle
c was twenty-five hundred dollars be
hind the game. He owed Mackenzie
twelve hundred Flandrau four hun
dred. and three hundred to Yesler.
With Fendrlck sitting In an easy
chair Just across the room. he found
It little difficult to say what other
wise would have been a matter Of
course.
MY banks busted just now, boys.
Have to ask you TO let 1t stand for a
few days-say till the end of the
week"
Fendrick laughed behind the paper
he was pretending TO read. He knew
quite well that Luck's word was as
good as his bond, but he chose to sug-
gest a doubt.
Maybe you'll explain the joke TO
us, Cass," the owner OF the Circle c
said very quietly.
"Oh. was just laughing at the
things | see. Luck" returned the
younger man with airy offense. his
eyes on the printed sheet ANY law

Culllson turned his back on him.
"See you on Thursday If that's soon
enough, boys" without looking again
at Fendrick he led the way to the
street.
The young man, left alone, cursed
softly to himself and ordered another
drink. He knew he was OVERRIDING 1t,
but the meeting with Cullison had an
noyed him exceedingly. The men had
never been friends. and of late years
they had been leaders of hostile camps.
Both OF them could be overbearing.
and there was scarcely week but
their interests overlapped. Finally
had come open hostility. Cass leased
from the forestry department the land
upon which Cullison's cattle had al
ways run free Of expense. Upon this
he had put sheep, a thing in itself OF
great injury 10 the cattle interests.
The stockmen had all been banded to-
gether in opposition to the forestry ad-
mlnistratlon Of the new regime, and
Luck regarded Fendrick's action as
treachery to the eommon cause.
