Bud Lees hand was on him, and
though he struggled and cursed and

open door, smiled. Donley was on his
back, Lees knees on his chest

Bud Lee was saying to him softly, as
his hand tore open Donley's shirt,

"Yes," answered Trip. "That's the
nearest case of cholera"
Hello" said Judith when the con-
nection had been established. "Mr.
Bagley? This is Judith Sanford, Blue
Lake ranch. I've got case of hog
cholera here, too. / want some infor-

She asked her questions, got her an
swers. Triumphantly she turned to
Tripp.
The Bagley ranch, though hundred

white pigeons among them. He was
