CHAPTER v
The Roundup.

II was a cracking and roaring OF
fire that awakened Madeline next
morning. and the first thing she saw
was a huge stone fireplace In which lay
a bundle OF blazing sticks. Some one
had kindled a fire while she slept. For
a moment the curious sensation OF he
ing lost returned TO her. She just
dlmly remembered reaching the ranch
and being taken into a huge house
and a huge. dimly lighted room. And
IL seemed TO her that she had gone to
sleep at once, and had awakened with
out remembering how she had gotten
10 bed.
With a knock on the door and a
cheerful greeting. Florence entered.
carrying steaming hot water.
Good mawnin'. Miss Hammond.
Hone you slept well. You sure we're
tired last night. imagine you'll find
this old ranch-house as cold as a barn.

Miss Cecil Leitch. the British golf
champion, said on the Montrose:
There's a great change In postwar
Europe. Before the war Europe q

II heard a story the other day about
a young European wife who said to
her husband:
my dear. we now have $500 In
the savings bank

"She gave him a thoughtful look.
"'And we're the only family In this

that no other family has,

"'Why, the price of one said the

"Wal. wal. AL. this IS the proudesi
meetln' of my life." replied Stlllwell
In a booming voice. He extended O
huge hand. "Mlss-sflss Majesty,
sight OF you Is as welcome as the rain
an the flowers to an old desert cattle
man.
Madeline greeted him, and IL was all
she could do to repress a cry at the
way he crunched her hand In a grasp
of iron. He was old, white-halred,
weather beaten, with long burrows
down his cheeks and with gray eyes
almost hidden in wrinkles. If he was
smiling she fancied Ii a most extraor-
binary smile. The next instant she
realized that II had been n smile, for
his face appeared to stop ripping. the
light died, and suddenly II was like
rudely chiseled stone. The quality OF
hardness she had seen In Stewart was
UNNECESSARILY intensified In this old
mans face.

she marked In the dim mirror that
there were tinges OF red In her cheeks
"Nell. II | haven't some color I" she
exclaimed.
Breakfast waited for her In the din
ing-room. The sisters ate with her.
Madeline qdickly caught the feeling Of
brisk action that seemed to be II the
mir. Then Alfred came stamping In.
Majesty, here's where you get the
real thing" he announced, merrily.
Were rushing you off. I'm sorry to
say; but we must hustle back to the
ranch. The fall roundup begins to-
morrow. You will ride In the buck
board with Florence and Stlllwell. I'll
ride or ahead with the boys and fix
up a little for you at the ranch. It's
a long ride out-nearly fifty miles by
wagon-road. Flo. don't Forget a couple
Of robes. Wrap her up well. And
hustle getting ready. We're waiting"
A little later. when Madeline went
out with Florence. the gray gloom was
tightening. Horses were champlng bits
and pounding gravel.
"Mawnin', Miss Majesty" said Still
well, grufly, from the front seat Of a
high vehicle.
Alfred bundled her up into the back
seat, and Florence after her, and
wrapped them with robes. Then he
mounted his horse and started of.
AS Madeline gazed about her and
listened TO her companions, the sun
rose higher and grew warm and scared
and grew hot; the horses held tire
lessly TO their steady trot, and mile
after mile of rolling land slipped by.
From the top Of a ridge Madeline
saw down Into a hollow where q few
of the cowboys had stopped and were
round a fire, evidently busy al
the MONDAY meal. Their horses were
on the long, gray grass.
"Wal. smell of tibet burnin' grease
wood makes my mouth water" said
Stillweli. I'm sure hungry. Wen

a long pull TO the ranch"
During ~lunch-time Madeline observed
that she was an object of manlfestly
great interest to the three cowboys.
She returned the compliment, and was
amused TO see that a glance their way
,aused them painful embarrassment.
They were grown men-one OF whom
had white hair-yet they acted like

forbidden look at a pretty girl.
