livid, gasped, and seemed about to give
way to fury. But something about Beld-

II want to make a last effort to pro-

smooth voice. That was a singular
change to Belding-the dropping in
stantly into an easy flow of speech.
you've had losses here. and naturally
you're sore. l don't blame you. But
you can't see this thing from my side
Of the fence. Business is business. In
business the best man wins. The law

honesty Of which you questioned. Now
l want to run that main ditch along
the river, through your farm. Can't
we make a deal? I'm ready to be lib
eral--tO meet you more than halfway.
I'll give you an interest In the COM

at the capitol to have you reinstated as
inspector. A little reasonableness on
your part will put you right again In
Forlorn River. with a chance Of grow

. My interest. Bedding, has become
personal. RadfOrd is in love with your
~stepdaughter. He wants TO marry Ner.
Now let's get together not only In bull
ness but In a family way. If my son'S
happiness depends upon having this
girl, you may rest assured I'll do all l.
can to get her for him. I'll absolutely
make good all your losses. Now what
do you say?'

can't buy a right of way across my
ranch. And Nell doesn't want your
son. That settles that"
but you could persuade her"
II won't, that's all."
MAY / ask why?" Chase's voice
was losing its suave quality, but it
was even swifter than before.
"Sure. l don't mind your asking"
replied Bedding, in slow elaboration.
