By chance 1t Numbered straight for
the girl on the sand spit.
She stood paralyzed for a moment.
Out of the gathering darkness q voice
came to her sharp and clear. Don't
mover 1t rang so vibrant with crisp
command that the girl, poised for
flight, stood still and waited in white
terror while the huge steer numbered
toward her.
A COW pony, wheeled as on a dol
lar, jumped to an instant gallop. The
man riding It was the one who had
warned her back to the car. Horse and
ladino pounded over the ground toward
her. Each stride brought them closer
to each other as they converged toward
the sand spit. 1t came to her with
gust of panicky despair that they
would collide on the very spot where
she stood. Yet she did not run.
The rider, lifting his bronco forward
at full speed, won by fraction of
second. He guided in such way as
to bring his horse between her and the
steer. Without slackening his pace
In the least as he swept past, the man
stopped low, caught the girl beneath
the arnplts, and swung her in front
of him to the back of the horse. The
steer pounded past so close behind
that one of its horns grazed the tail or
the cow pony.

at 1t helplessly for moment; then,
beneath the brown outdoor tan, ilush
of anger beat into his face. Without
word he leaned forward and pressed
the note into the mouth Of the bronco.
The buckskin knew its master for a
very good friend. If he gave It some
thing to eat--well, there was no harm
In trying It once. The buckskin
chewed placidly for few seconds, de-
cided that this was a practical joke,
and elected from its mouth Shiny
green pulp that had recently been a
treasury note.

cantered back to the beef herd.
He left behind him a much-annoyed
olubman, a perplexed and distressed
father, and girl both hurt and in
dignant at his brusque rejection of her
fathers friendly advances. The episode
Of the fifty-dollar bill had taken place
entirely under cover. The man who
had given the note and the one who
had refused to accept 1t were the only
ones who knew Of 1t. The girl saw
only that this splendid horseman who
had snatched her from under the very
feet Of the ladino had shown a boor-
fish discourtesy. The SAVIOR had gone
out of her adventure. Her heart was
sick with disappointment and indigna'

She walked along ridge that ran
from the mesa into the valley like an
outstretched tongue. There was a
touch Of unstudied jauntlness In the
way the tips Of her golden curls es-
capped from beneath the little brown
toque she wore. A young man guard
Ing the beef herd watched her curl
ous1y. Something in the poise Of the
light, boyish figure struck spark
from his Imagination.
AS she stood on the spit Of the ridge,
slim, light figure silhouetted against
the skyline, the young man guarding
the beef herd called something to her
that was lost In the bawling Of the
cattle. From the motion Of his hand
she knew that he was telling her to
get back to the car. But the girl saw
no reason for obeying the orders of a
range-rider she had never seen before
and never expected to see again. No
body had ever told her that a rider is
fairly safe among the widest hill cat
tie, but man on foot is liable to at
tack at any time when herd is ex-
cited.
A shout Of warning startled her.
Above the believing of the herd she
heard another yell.

The driver of the big car throttled
down. Since he had swung away from
the dusty road to follow a wagon
track across the desert, the speedom-
eter had registered many miles, His
eyes searched the ground in front to
see whether the track led up the brow
Of the hill or dipped into the sandy
wash.
On the breeze there fioated to him the
faint, inslstent bawl of thirsty cattle.
The car leaped forward again, climbed
the hill, and closed In upon a remuda
of horses watched by two wranglers.
The, chauffeur stopped the machine
and shouted question at the nearest
rider, who swung his mount and can
tered up. He was lean, tanned youth

He was not there for moving-picture
purposes. Nothing on horse or man

utility.

driver.
The coffee-brown youth gave little
lift of his head to the right. He was
apparently man of few words.
The car moved forward to the edge
of the mesa and dropped into the val
ley. The girl in the back seat gave
little scream of delight. Here at last
was the West she had read about in
books and seen on the screen.
This was Cattleland's hour Of hours.
The parada grounds were occupied by
two circles Of cattle, each fenced by
eight or ten horsemen. The nearer
one was the beef herd, beyond this

driyen--was mass of closely packed
cows and calves.
