CHAPTER XVII
WestIake Brings News.

In the week that followed, the part
ners of the Three Star managed to
find many hours for holiday-making.
The ranch ran well on it's own rou-
tine, and Molly was princess to be
entertained. Kate Nicholson emerged
from her chrysalis and became almost
a butterfly rather than the pale gray
moth they had fancied her. Even
Miranda revised her opinion. The
Nicholsons, it came out, had been
family of some consequence and a
fair degree of riches in South Caro-
lima before an unfortunate specula-
ton had taken everything.
Kate Nicholson, left alone soon
afterward, had assumed the role of
governess or companion with more or
less success and drifted on, sub
merged in the families who had used
her services, until Keith had secured
her for the post with Molly when
things had seemed particularly black.
Now, riding with Molly, with Sam and
Sandy for escorts, over the open range
or up into the canyons, on picnics, the
years slid off from her. She laughed
UNDERSTANDABLE and talked spontane-
ously. Evenings, when they would
return to the disconsolate Mormon,
who bewailed openly his lack of
saddle ease, they found, two nights
out of three, Miranda Bailey, self
charioted in her flivver with offerings
Of cake and doughnuts to supplement
Pedro's still uncertain efforts.
Molly chuckled once to Sandy.
"Mirandas a DEAR" she said. II
wish she'd marry Mormon. But Kate
Nicholson is a far better cook than
khe is. Only she won't do anything
for fear of hurting Miranda's feel
ings."
Yet the governess did cook on occa-
sion, trout that they caught in the
mountain streams, and camp biscuits

nm going to Daddy's grave" said
Molly, when Miranda had flivvered
off. II wish the three of you would
come there to me in about ten min
utes Miss Nicholson, everybody's at
home here. Please do anything you
want to, nothing you don't want to-"
At the end of the ten minutes the
three men walked together toward
the cottonwoods. Grit was lying on
the grave, and they saw Molly kneel-
ing by the little railing. They adj
vanced silently over the turf and
stood in a group about her with their
hats off and their heads bowed. Grit
made no move and Molly did not look
up for two or three minutes. Then
she greeted them with smile. There
were no tear-signs on her face though
her eyes were moist.
II wanted to thank you ALL" she
said, land to tell you how glad am
to be back. have met lots of people,
of all sorts and kinds, but not one of
them who could hold candle to any of

made for him under the trees, close

think / am great deal older now,
perhaps, than other girls of my age
And / realize all you have done for
me. The only thing is, I don't know
how to begin to thank you"
She went to Mormon and took hold
of both his hands, her head raised,
lips curved to kiss him. Norm On
stopped and turned his weathered
cheek, but Molly kissed him full on
the lips. So with Sam, despite the
enormous mustache. Then she came
to Sandy, taller than the others, his
face grave, under control, the eager
ness smothered in his eyes, desire
checked by reverence for the pure af-
lection of the offered salute. He fam
cied that her lips trembled for mo-
ment as they rested softly warm, upon
his own. But the tremor might have
been his own. He knew his heart was
pounding against the slight touch of
her slenderness that was manifest
with womanhood. His arms ached
with the restraint he set upon them,
i'm the presence Of Mormon and Sam.
"rve brought some things for you,' =
said Molly. "Just presents that
bought in shops. But / wanted to
thank you out here where Daddy lies"
She sought their glances, searching to
see if they understood, satisfied.
"We're sure glad to git back the
Mascot of the Three STAR" said Nor
mon.
"An' the sooner you git through
bein' dedicated an come back fo'
keeps, the better" amended Sam.
Sandy said nothing but smiled at
her and Molly smiled back again.
II think you have been my mascot
rather than me yours. I've still got
my luck piece" and she pulled out
of her neck, suspended by fine chain
of gold, the gold piece with which
Sandy had won the stake that had
started her east. Now show me all
the improvements. Well get Kate
Nicholson. She's a first-class scout if

InQuiring Reporter
TODAY,S QUESTION:

What do you think Of the proposed
tax legislation now pending in the leg
islature? Question suggested by R. c.,
Market street Thank you.
THE ANSWERS:
Joseph Barbeau, Austin Shoe store,
clerk: The proposed tax Legislation is
detriment to the state. 1t will drive
all of the big industries out of the
state. It will take lot of money paid
to this state for taxes into another
state. On account of it, we have al
ready lost the best man in the city of
Kenosha.
F. Schlax, 619 Echange street, usher:
The proposed tax legislation is bad
thing. Just look what it has done here
already. The Simmons company have
already decided to move out of the
state, as we'll as the Cooper Under
wear company. Other companies will
probably follow, too, if it is passed. If
it is passed, Kenosha will lose much
of her manufacturing fame.
N. F. Schmitt, Schmitt's CONNECTION
cry: don't think much of the tax leg
islation now pending in the legislature.
Everybody shouldn't know everybody
else's business. If the legislature
keeps on, they will eventually drive all
of the manufacturing plants out of the
state.
George H. ken, Wilson Pharmacy,
Pharmacist: am not in favor of the
tax legislation now pending in the leg
islature. Only one word can describe
it, and that is ''rotten." 1t will drive
more than one big corporation out of
the state. It has already moved Sim
