PART Il
Luck.
1t the Roundup Club.
CHAPTER I.

A big game had been in progress all
night at the Roundrp club. Now the
garish light Of day Streamed through
the windows, but the electric cluster
still 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-riding West upon them.
No longer young, they were still full
of the vigor and energy Of unflagglng
strength. From. bronzed faces looked
steady unwinking eyes with humorous
creases around the corners, hard eyes
that judged g. 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 Cullison, 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
q good foe, men thought seriously be-
fore they opposed him. He had made
himself power in the Southwest be-
cause he was the type that goes the
limit when aroused.
While Alec Flandrau shuffled and
dealt, the players relaxed. Cigars

tion 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 new
conner, 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
Iison also had his back to the door,
but the man hung his brOad-rlmmed
gray hat on the rack-bcsidc an eX-
actly similar one that belonged to the
owner of the Circle C-and moved
leisurely forward till he was within
range of his vision.
"Going to prove up soon on the Del
Gro claim of yours, Luck?" asked
Flandrau.
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
allows" Cullison answered quietly.
Flandrau chuckled. Il reckon Cass
Fcndrick will be some sore"
Something in the strained silence
struck the dealer as unusual. He
looked up and showed a momentary
confusion.
Didn't know you were there, Cass.
Looks like put my foot in it sure
that time. I ce'tainly thought you
were an absentee" he apologized.
Cor you wouldn't have been talking
about me-" retorted Fendrick acidly.
