we have to-" said Sandy "rm goin'
to talk with Keith first"
Kate Nicholson returned and the
talk changed. Westlake and Molly
remained outside until the food was
served. Then there was music. Mi
randa departed at last with the tele-
grams. Molly fingered as good-nights
were said.
"Tve got something to tell you,
Sandy" she said Its private, for
the present" she added with a glance
toward Westlake
Sandy sat down by the fire with
sinking qualm. Molly perched herself
on the arm of his chair, silent for a
moment or two.
Its love story, Sandy" she said
presently.
Westlake?"
"Yes. He wanted me to tell you be-
fore he went. He's very fond of you,
Sandy"
rs hep Sandy spoke slowly, rous-
ing himself with an effort. 81 think
he's fine chap. l sure wish him all
the luck in the world" He fancied
his voice sounded fiat.
II suppose you wondered why we
were so chummy all the EVENING""
YES. l wondered lii about that"
Sandy did not look at her, but gazed
into the dying fire. He saw himself
sitting there, lonely, woman-shy once
more, through the long stretch of
years, with letter coming once in
while from far-off places telling of
a happiness that he had hoped for
and yet had known could not be for
him; Sandy Bourke, cow-puncher.
two-gun man, rancher, growing old.
81 was the first girl he had seen for
a long while, you see,' Molly was say
ing. "And he had to talk it over with
someone. He told me about it first
this morning and then the telegram
came"
'Talkin' about what?"
"His sweetheart. Now he can mar.
ry her with this opportunity. She
may sail with him. Isr. 1t fine? He
showed me her picture"
''It's the best news I've heard fo'
long time," answered Sandy soberly.
'I'm sleepy" said Molly. Good
night, Sandy, DEAR"
She put her lips to his tanned cheek
and left him in a maze. The dying
fire leaped up and the room light
ened. 1t died down again, but Sandy
sat there, smoking cigarette after
cigarette.

"Not likely. He doesn't expect US
TO have the money. We haven't.
take it he can't dump 'em in hurry.
That's why he's boardin' the slopes.
If he don't trail over here In day
or so I'll shack over to Casey Town
fo' a lii chat. Much obliged to you,
Westlake."
Westlake nodded. He understood
that quiet drawl of Sandys. If the
lii chat came off, Keith would not
enjoy himself, he fancied.
"The question is what move to
make an when to make it. If Molly
is one thing she is game. We've got
a good deal out of the mine an it's
all come so far from the sale of gold
to the mint, take it. We don't dabble
in stocks. We're ahead. If the mines
gone bust she's done nicely by us,
at that"
Back of Sandy's talk thoughts
formed in his brain that held good
deal Of comfort Molly was no longer
an heiress, If Westlake's news was
true. Molly would not have to go
back east. Her relations with the
Keiths would be broken.
II figger you're right about Keith
trailin' over here to see If you've
showed" Sandy went on. "That's the
way I'd play him. AS you say, he's
got to git rid of his shares quietly

want to tell Molly she's busted until
we're plumb certain. An Keith's got
money of hers. If he don't show in
side of a couple of days I'll take a
pasear over to Casey Town an have
a III chat with him.
young Keith sabe his fathers
play?" asked Sandy.
mo" Westlake spoke decidedly.
Hes not interested In mining. He's
on the trip because his father holds
the purse strings. He's a good deal
of a cub, at present. / mean he don't
show much inclination to use his
brains. He's a likable kid in many
ways, but he's just a kid"
"'Tw'uldn't be fair to hold anythin'
ag'in him, count of his breedin'," said
Sandy, 'but colts that amt bred right
bear watchin'. Now tell us some
about that South American berth of
yours, Westlake."
Westlake rather marveled at the
ease with which Sandy and his chums
dismissed matter that meant a ma
terial loss of money to them, but he
had seen the light in Sandy's eye and
he knew his capacity for action when
the moment arrived. The four sat up
late, talking of mining in various
ways and places.
'This Westlake hombre'll go q long
ways" summed up Sam to Sandy after
Westlake had turned in and Mormon
had yawned himself off to bed. HE
sure knows heap, he don't brag, he's
on the square, an he ain't afraid OF
work.
That Westlake won approval from
Molly, and also from Kate Nicholson.
was patent before breakfast was over
the next morning. A buyer came out
from Hereford demanding Sandy's at
tention and he stayed at the ranch

while the three and Sam went OH
saddleback. Westlake had expressed
a desire to see the ranch and Molly
had volunteered to display her own
renewed knowledge of it. The buyer
looked at the Three Star stock with
expert eyes and made bids that were
highly satisfactory.
Better beef, better prices, that's
the modern slogan" he said at the
noon meal with Sandy and Mormon.
81 see you believe in it. heard some
talk in Hereford this morning OF
trouble at one ranch not far from here.
A horse ranch run by a man named
Plimsoll. Waterline ranch, l think
they call it. / have a commission
from a man in Chicago to look up
some horses for him and had heard
of Plimsoll before, not over-favorably.
l understand he is not fussy over
brands"
Hes got a big herd,' said Sandy
noncommitally claims to round up
slick ears-wild hawsses. What was
the trouble?"
General row among the crowd, far
as l could make out. Plimsoll shot
at one of his men named wyatt,
believe, and started to run him off
the ranch. There were sides taken
and shots fred"
'News to me-" said Sandy. He was
not especially interested in Waterline
happenings so long as Plimsoll re-
manned set. The buyer left and the
rest of the day went slowly.
When the quartet returned, Molly
and Westlake were obviously more
than mere acquaintances. Sandy felt
out of the running, though Molly held
him In the conversation.
Miranda Bailey, driving over, Gre
ated a welcome diversion.
"I've brought a telegram out for
you, Mr.. Westlake,' she said.
The engineer read 1t and passed 1t
| to Molly. Sandy saw her face glow.
THAT'S fine!" she exclaimed. "But
1t means you've got to go. I'm sorry
for that"
The relief that Sandy felt, and dis
missed as selfish, was marred by the
cordial understanding that had sprung
up between the two. He wondered
If they had discovered real attach
ment for each other.
'I'll have to go first thing tomor-
row." said Westlake. "Im sorry, too.
They've come up to my cOunter-offer,
Bourke, and they want me to come on
Immediately. 1t means lot to me.
Everything" he added, with smile
that Molly returned.

Miranda broke in. I'm sure glad

Westlake and Molly were both
standing. They moved toward the
door and out to the moonlit veranda
together.
"They seem to hit 1t off well, that
pair" said Miranda.
Kate Nicholson murmured some
thing about the kitchen and left the
room to attend to some refreshments.
"Now tell me about Keith" de-

grips slowed behind and Sandy saw
them go with the old light back In
his eyes, He gave Westlake grip
of the hand that made him vince.
"You can rely upon my information
being correct" were Westlake's last
words, spoken aside before he climbed
into the blackboard and Molly ffirted
the reins over the backs of the team
shooting off at top speed.
She came back little before noon,
her eyes wide with excitement.
'Mr. Keith's in town." she said.
"With Donald and his secretary, Mr..
Blake He asked me if Mr.. Westlake
had been here and he seemed annoyed
when l told him l had just seen him
off on the train. They all came from
Casey Town in the big car. Mr.. Keith
has some business in Hereford. He
and Mr.. Blake will stay on their pri-
vate car. He told me to tell you he
would be out tomorrow to see you.
Oh, here's a telegram for you"
Thanks" Sandy tucked the en-
velope in his pocket. Hop out, Mol
ly, an I'll put up the team"
"I'll help you. 1 haven't forgotten
how to unhitch." Her nimble fingers
worked as fast as Sandy's with
buckles, coiling traces and looping
reins.
"Goin' to take Donald Keith out fo'
real ride on a real hawss? he
asked her.
Eyes. Tomorrow. He's keen to go.
You'll come. And Sam and Kate?'
'Tve got a bunch I'm goln' to be
busy ter-morrer. Keith's comm, fo'
one thing,

Molly went into the house and he
opened the telegram. 1t was from
Brandon, as he expected.
