Judith of Blue Lake Ranch
BY JACKSON GREGORY


sufficient type, were little behind the
major in interest.
During the last week of May, ru-
NOR came to Judith's ears of which,
at first, she thought little. Carson,
coming to her upon a bit of ranch
business, remarked dryly before taking
his departure, that report had got
around among his men-POker Face
had mentioned it to him-that Blue
Lake ranch was on it's last legs; that
it was even to be doubted, if the men
ever saw another pay day before the
whole affair went into a receiver
hands. Judith laughed at him and
told him not to worry.
"Me?" said Carson. "I'm not the
worrying kind. But idees like that
amt good to have floating around. A
man won't do more'n half work when
he's wondering all the time if he's go
ing to get his mazuma for it."
But when again the rumor came,
this time telephoned up to her from
the Lower End by Doc Trip, she
frowned and wondered. And she was
careful, upon the thirtieth of May,
to send Charlie Miller, the store
keeper, into Rocky Bend for the
monthly pay roll money. Charlie left
for Rocky Bend in the afternoon,
spending the night in town to get the
customary morning start for the
ranch. The men were to be paid at
six o'clock.
Upon this same day Pollock Hamp-
ton told Judith that Bayne Trevors
was coming to the ranch to have din
ner, spending the night and the fol
lowing day. Judith made no reply
beyond favoring him with a quick
look Of question. She had not be-
lieved that the man would come.
What next?
The last day of May came, and true
to his promise, Trevors was a guest
at the house from which, so short
a time ago, he had been evicted. He
dined there that night, cool and self
confident, casually polite to Judith,
civil and courteous to the other
guests, especially to Major and Mrs.
Langworthy and Marcia, leading
conversations unobtrusively, making
himself liked
The morning after Trevors' arrival,
Judith was up betimes and break

found her in the office expecting
Charlie Miller. She was at work on
the pay roll book when her telephone
rang. 1t was Doc Trip and there was

Quickly he told all that had hap

the narrow gorge when man sprang
out suddenly in front of him. Mil

known in French air circles made an
excellent start on his adventurous
trip TO the far east, covering the 1880
miles from Paris TO Bucharest yester-
Gay in less than eleven hours in a non
stop flight. He covered the 500 miles
from Paris to Budapest at an average
speed of 120 miles an hour. and flew
over Budapest without stopping.
As the undersecretary for air has
no funds to provide stocks of spare
parts along the route, Doisy and his
mechanic, Sergt. Vesin, are entirely
dependent upon themselves for any
Iepairs that may be necessary. If
they cannot fix their machine they
viii have TO come back. Before start
ing the aviator said he would con-
tnue his flight to the far east "if
circumstances permit" The machine
carries 200 gallons of gasoline,
enough for 1900 miles of flying.
The itinerary if all goes we'll is:
