up between them in that momen when

before.

still unsatisfed when the porter took
her to the end of the car to brush
her clothes.

CHAPTER II
Clay Appoints Himself chaperor

Clay Appoints Himself chaperon.
AS he Travelled east Clay began to
slough the outward marks of his call
ing. He gave his spurs to Johnnie be-
fore he left the ranch. At Tucson he
shed his chaps and left them in care
of a friend at the Longhorn corral.
The siX-gun with which he had shot
r~attlesnakes he packed into his suit
case at Ell Paso. His undermined felt
hat flew off while the head beneath ii
was stuck out of a window of the
coach somewhere south of Denver. Be-
fore he passed under the Welcome
arch in that city the silk kerchief had
been removed from his brown neck
and retired to the hip pocket which
formerly held his forty-five.
The young cattleman began to hatter
himself that nobody could now tell
he was a wild nan from the hills who
had been curried. He might
have spared himself the illusion. The
lightness Of his stride, the breadth of
the well-packed shoulders, the frank.
ness of the steady eyes, all advertised
him as a son of Arizona.
1t was just before noon at one of the
small plains towns east of Denver that
a girl got on the train and was taken
by the porter to a section back of Clay

remained a fifty-dollar bill. He looked
at it helplessly for a moment; then,
beneath the brown outdoor tan, a nush
of anger beat into his face. Without
a 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-welt, there was no harm
in trying it once. The buckskin
chewed placidly for a few seconds, de-
cided that this was a practical joke,
and elected from its mouth a Shiny
green pulp that had recently been a
treasury note.
The father stammered his thanks to
the reScuer of the girl. 81 don't know

Of the ffty-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 It. The girl saw
only that this splendid horseman who
had snatched her from under the yery

DRY of those about her. She was flirt-
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 vas 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

the armpits, and swung her in from
of him TO the back of the horse. Inc
steer pounded past so close Dehlhu
that n of its horns grazed the tail OF
the cOw pony.
1t was a superb piece of horseman-
ship, perfectly timed, as perfectly exc
cuted.
The girl lay breathless in the arms
of the man, her heart beating against
his. her face buried in his shoulder
She was dazed, half fainting from the
reaction of her fear. The next she
remembered clearly was being lowered
into the arms of her father.
He held her tight, his face tortured
with emotion. She was the very light
of his soul, and she had shaved a
bv a hairs breadth. A miracle had
saved her, but he would V forget
the terror that had gripped him.
The girl snuggled closer to him, her
arms round his neck.
A young man descended from the
car, handsome, trim, and well got up.
He had been tailored by the best mans
outftter In New York. Nobody on
Broadway could order a dinner better
than he. The latest dances he could do
perfectly. He had the reputation OF
knowing exactly the best thing to say
on every occasion. Now he proceeded
to say 1t.
"Corking bit of rlding-never saw
better. I'll give you my hand on that
my man."
The cowpuncher found a bunch OF
manicured fingers in his rough, brown
paw. He found something else, for

tced that she was refreshingly pretty
In an unsophisticated
A little later he had a chance 10
confirm this Judgment, for the dining
car manager seated her opposite him
at a table for two. When Clay handed
her the menu card she murmured
"Thank you /" with a rush of color to
her cheeks and looked nelplessiy al
the list in her hand. Quite plainly she
was taking her first long journey.
The COW puncher helped her fill the
order card. She put herself entirely III
his hands and was willing to eat what
ever he suggested unbiased by prefer
ences Of her OWL.
She was a round, soft, little person
with constant intimatiOns of a child
hood not long outgrown. During the
course of lunch she confded that her
name was Kitty Mason, that h was
an orphan, and that she was on her
way to New York to study at a school
for moving-picture actresses.
II sent my photograph and the man
ager wrote back tnat my face was one
hundred per cent perfect for the
MOVIES" the girl explained. 1t was
clear that she was expecting to be
manufactured into a film star in a
week or two.
After they had finished eating, the
range-rider turned in at the smoking
compartment and enjoyed a cigar. He
fell into casual talk with an army Off
Ger who had served in the Southwest,
and it was three hours later when he
returned to his own sea in the car.
A hard-faced man in a suit of checks
more than a shade o loud was sit
ting in the section beside the girl from
Brush. He was making talk in an as
sured, familiar way, and the girl was
listening to him shyly and yet eagerly.
The man was a variation of a type
known to Lindsay. That type was the
Arizona bad-man. If this extensively
dressed fellow was not the eastern
equivalent Of the western gunman,
Clay's experience was badly at fault.
Clay had already made friends with
the Pullman conductor. He drifted to
him now on the search for informa-
ton.
1.-The hard-faced guy with the little
girl?" he asked casually after the
proffer of a cigar. 1.-THE one with the
muscles bullying out all over him
who is he?"

yep. Used to be. He's q gang
leader in New York now. Runs a
gambling house of his own, I've heard.
You can't prove it by me-"
When Lindsay returned to his place
he settled himself with a magazine In
a seat where he could see Kitty and
her new friend. The very vitality of
the girls young life was 10 doubt a
to this man. The soft,
rounded throat line, the oval cheeks
rich coloring so easily moved to ebb
and flow, the carmine of the full red
lips; every detail helped to confirm the
of a young crea-
ture, innocent as a wild thing of the
forests and as yet almost as un-
spiritual.
Durand took the girl in to dinner
with him and they sat not far from
Lindsay. Kitty was lost to any mem
