CHAPTER I
Grit.


"Mormon" Peters carefully shifted
his weighty bulk in the chair that he
dared not tilt, gazing dreamily at the
saw-toothed mountains shimmering In
the distance, shifting luxuriously the
scent Of sage.
"They oughter spell Arizona with
three 'C's,'" he said.
"Why?" asked Sandy Bourke, wip-
ing the superfluous oil from the re-
yolver he was meticulously cleaning.
"'Count of Climate. Cactus, Cattle
an Coyotes"
Maxim four, stead Of three" said
the managing partner of the Three
Star ranch.
Came a grunt from "Soda-Water"
Sam as he put down his harmonica, on
which he had been playing "The Cow
boys Lament" with variations.
1t was Sunday afternoon on the
Three Star rancheria. The three part
ners, saddle-chums for years, ever
seeking mutual employ, known through
Texas and Arizona as the "Three Mus
keteers Of the Range" sat on the
porch Of the ranch house, discussing
business and lighter matters. One
year before they had pooled their
savings and Sandy Bourke, youngest
of the three and most aggressive, cool
est and swiftest of action, had glori-
ously bucked the faro tiger and won
enough to buy the Three Star ranch
and certain rights of free range. The
purchase had not included the brand
Of the late owner. Originally the
holding had been called the Two-Bar-P.
As certain cattlemen were not want
ing who had knack of appropriating
calves and changing the brands Of
steers, Sandy had been glad enough,
In his capacity of business manager,
to change the name of the ranch and
brand. Two-Bar-P was too easily al
tered to H-B, UP, U-B, O-P, or b !;
q score of combinations hard to prove
as forgeries.
There had been lengthy argument
concerning the new name. Three Star,
80 Soda-Water Sam-whose nickname
was satirical-opined, smacked of the
saloon rather than the ranch, But 1t
was finally decided on and the brand
ing irons duly made.
Sandy Bourke had dark brown hair,
inclined to be curly, a tendency he
offset by frequent clipping of his
thatch. The sobriquet of SANDY" re-
ferred to his grit. He was broad
shouldered, tall and lean, weighing a
hundred and seventy pounds Of we'll
strung frame. His eyes were gray
and the lids sun-puckered; his deeply
tanned skin showed the freckles on
face and hands as faint inlays; his
long, timber legs were slightly bowed.
Not so the curve of Soda-Water

already seen much of the world when
he became correspondent in 1898, COW
ering the Spanish american war. Two
years later he was employed as a syn
dicate correspondent in California. Ha-
wall and Asia. BY 1907 he had decided
that the American continent, especially
the western part of 1t, could furnish
more varied experiences and was more
to his liking than any other portion Of
the globe.
During a brief period he was editor
of the Sunset Magazine in San
Francisco, but found that western at
fractions and life In the timbered sec
tions. the mining regions and the
cattle country had more appeal for
him than the editorial chair. He
started to visit the colorful places
and to write about them. He has
written descriptive articles. hunting
and fishing stories and many novels
of romance and adventure. The latter
cover various phases of western life
and include sea stories ranging from
the coast OF Mexico to Japan and to
the Arctic ocean.
"Rimrock Trail" breathes the spirit
of the real West. the excitement or
mining camp and cowboy life, the in
spiration of the mountains and the
mystery OF the desert reaches. 1t
introduces the manhood and woman
hood of the country and the strange
combination of courage and humor-
the ability to crack a Joke in the face
of death-which characterizes its ac-
tive spirits. The three cowboy pals
who figure so prominently in the tale
are fit to go along with the immortal
guardsmen of Dumas, while their
mascot, Molly. is a veritable western
rose. Sandy Bourke is as handy
two-gun man as DArtagnan was
swordsman.

The gray-white dog came on, dry
tongue lolling. 1t halted twenty feet
from the porch, one paw up, as Sandy
bent forward and called to it.
"Come on, you dawg. Come in, ol'
feller. Mormon, take that hair out
of that pan Of water an set 1t where

Mormon shifted the pan in which he
had been soaking the horsehair for
easier plating and the dog shifted at

that were dim from thirst and weari-
ness. Sandy patted his knee encour-
agingly, and the tired animal seemed
suddenly to make up its mind. Ignor-

from the palm of his hand into the
open jaws, upon the swollen tongue.
