CHAPTER VI.
The Fury of Doves.

Lambert released her the moment that he made his double discovery, foollshly shaken, foolishly hurt, to realize that she had been afraid to nave him know it was a woman he pursued He caught her rein and checked her horse along with his own.
 What are you going to do about 1t?,' she asked him defiantly
 I guess you'd better go home.''
 I'll have to go back the way came" she said.
 There is no other way"
 They started back in silence riding side by side. Wonder filled the door of his mind; he had only disconnect- ca, fragmentary thoughts, upon the current of which there rose continual ly the realization, only half under stood that he started out to search the world for this woman, and he had found her.
 T thought you'd hand me over to the sheriff" she told him, between banter and defiance.
 They say you couldn't get a con- viction on anything short of cattle stealing in this part of the country, and doubtful on that But I wouldn't give you over to the sheriff, Miss Kerr, even if I caught you driving a cow.'
 What would you do?" she asked, ignoring the fact that he had guessed her identity.
 ''I'd try to argue you out of the COW first, and then teach you better he said.
 eff you owned this ranch, Mr.
 Lambert is my name, Miss Kerr
 ''1f you owned it, MT. Lambert I believe we could live in peace, even if you kept the fence. But with that girl-it can't be done.''
 Cant we patch up a truce between us for the time I'm here?"
 You haven't got anything to do with it-you're only a fence-rider. The fights between me and that girl and I'll cut her fence-Ill cut her heart out if she gets in my road!'
 Well, I'm going to hook up this panel" he said. leaning and taking hold of the wire end, "so you can come here and let it down any time you feel like you have to cut the fence. That will do us about the same dam age and you every bit as much good
 This fence isn't any joke with us, Mir. Lambert, funny as you seem to think it. It's more than fence, it's a symbol of all that stands between us, all the wrongs we've suffered, and the losses, on account of it. I know it makes her rave to cut it, and I expect you'll have good deal of fix ing to do right along" He made no movement to dismount and hook up the cut wires, but sat looking after her as she grew smaller between him and the bill. He did not linear the approach of horse on the slope of the rise until it's quickened pace as it reached the top brought Vesta Philbrook suddenly into his view
 Who Is that?" she asked, ignoring his salutation in her excitement. 1 T think it must be Miss Kerr; she belongs to that family, at least" | You caught her cutting the fence?"
 1 Yes, I caught her at it.' 1 And you let her get away?"
 There wasn't much else I coult do.' he returned, with thoughtful gravity. Thaf was the one taunt needed te set ofA the slow magazine of Vesta Philbrd dok's wrath. She cut he' horse 5 sharp blow with her quir and tdbk up the pursuit so quickl, that lambert could not interpost eithe objection or entreaty.
