the girls young life was no doubt a

8 The BigI own Round Up s
BY


Johnnie was his slave, the echo of his
opinions, the booster OF his merits,
de asked no greater happiness than to
trail in the wake Of his friend and get
kind word occasionally.
The Runt had chosen as his Admir-
able Crichton a most engaging youth
II never had been hard for any girl
to look at Clay Lindsay. His sun
tanned good looks, the warmth Of his
gay smile. the poise and the easy stride
Of him, made Lindsay marked man
even In country where men Of splen-
did physique were no exception.
His eyes now were watching the leap
Of the fire glow. The talk Of New York
had carried him back to a night on the
roundup three years before. He was
thinking about slim girl standing on
a sand spit with wild steer rushing
toward her, Of her warm, slender body
lying In his arms for I'VE immortal
seconds. Of her dark. shy eyes shining
out Of the dusk at him like live GOALS
He remembered-and II hurt him to
recall it-how his wounded pride had
dashed out In resentment Of the patron
age Of these New Workers.. The young
er man had insuIted him. but he knew
In his heart now that the girls father
had meant nothing Of the kind. or
course the girl had forgotten him long
since.
Question is, could you land a Job
In New York IL you wanted one," ex-
planned STAGE to the dreamer.
"If It's neck meat or nothin' a fell
low can most always get somethin' to
do" said Lindsay IN the gentle voice
he used. The vague impulses of many
days crystalized suddenly into reso-
luton. Anyhow I'm goin' to try. Soon
as the rodeo Is over I'm goin' to hit
the trail for the big town."
'Tucson2" interpreted Johnnie dubi-
ously.
New York"
The bow-legged little puncher looked
at his friend and gasped.
Clay flashed on him the warm smile
that endeared him to all his friends.
I'm goin' to ride down Broadway and
shoot up the town, Johnnie. Want to
come alongT

DRY Of those about her She was fllrt
Ing joyously with a sense of newly
awakened powers. The man from Ora
ham county, Arizona, felt uneasy in his
mind. The girl was flushed with life
In a way she was celebrating her es-
| cape from the narrow horizon In which
she had lived. In her unsophistication
| danger lay. For she was plainly
easily Influenced, and in the beat OF
her healthy young blood probably
there was latent passion.
They left the diner before Clay. He
passed them later In the vestibule of
the sleeper. They were looking out to-
gether on the moonlit plain through
which the train was rushing. The arm
of the man was stretched behind her
to the railing and with the motion of
the car the girl swayed back slightly
against him.
Again Clay sought the smoking COM
partment and was led into talk by the
officer. 1t was well past eleven when
he rose, yawned, and announced, "I'm
goin' to nit the hay"
Most Of the berths were made up
and 1t was with a little shock of sur
prise that his eyes fell on Kitty Mason
and her new friend. the sleek black
head of the man close to her fair curIs,
his steady eyes holding her like a
charmed bird while his caressing voice
wove the fairy tale Of New York to
which she yielded herself in strange
delight.
Don't you-all Sant yo' berth made
Up, lady?"
1t was the impatient porter who in
terrupted them. The girl sprang up
TREMENDOUSLY to accept.
"Oh, please. Is II late" Her glance
swept down the car and took In the
fact that her section alone was not
made up. 81 didn't know-why. what
time Is it7'
Most twelve, ma'am," replied the
aggrieved porter severely.
She flashed look of reproach at
her companion and blushed again as
she fed with. her bag to the ladies'
dressing room.
The train was rolling through the
cornfields Of the Middle West when the
Arizonan awoke. He was up early,
but not long before Kitty Mason, who
was Joined at once by Durand.
"ShucksI Nothin' to 1t a-taIl," the
range-rider assured himself. "Tshat
lll' girl must have the number of this
guy. She's fiirtin' with him to beat
three of kind. but I'll bet dogie
she knows right where she's at"
Clay did not In the least believe his
own argument. If he had come from
city he would have dismissed the mat
ter as none Of his business. But he
came from the clean Southwest where
every straight girl Is under the pro-
lection Of every decent man. II she

He left behind him a much-annoyed

father, and a girl both hurt and in

of the flfty-dollar blu had taken place
