CHAPTER Nv
Young Hampton Protests

II was after eight o'clock when Tripp
rode in on a sweat-wet horse. Judith
met him in the courtyard, giving him
her two hands impulsively.
I'm so glad you've come, Doc!" she
cried softly. "Oh, you don't know
how glad-yet."
She called Jose to take Trips
mount and then led the way into the
great living-room where deep cush-
ions andsleather chairs made for COM
fort
She switched on the lights and
turned to look at Trip. He was the
same little old Doc Tripp, she noted.
His wiry body scarcely bigger than a
boys of fourteen, he was a man of
fifty whose face, like his body, sug-
gested the boy with bright, eager
eyes and a frank, friendly smile.
"Prettier than ever, eh, Judy?"
Tripp cooked his head to one side
and gave his unqualified approval of
the slim, supple body, and superb car
warming to the vivid, vital beauty of
the rosy face. Been driving those
cow-college boys down at Berkeley
plumb crazy. I'll bet prize cOlt"
Judith laughed at him, watched his
slight form disappear in the wide arms
of chair which seemed to smother
him in its embrace. Then from her
own nook by the fireplace she opened
her heart to him:
Its not just that Trevors has Grip
pied me by taking all of my mixers
away; not just that he has come near
having Crowdy turn those calves with
the lung-worm out into the fields with
| the others, not just that during the
| last few months, he has lost money
/ for us right and left. 1t isn't just these
things which have set me to wonder
ing, Doc. What want TO know is
| this: in how many other, still undis-
covered ways, has Trevors been kpif-
| ing us? And what else will he have
ready to spring on us now?"
"Just what do you mean?" Tripp
/ looked at her keenly.

with: where did it come from?"
Imported" said Tripp. "Trevors
bought those calves, or at least four
of the sick ones, last month. Brought
them in from somewhere down the
river. Struggled them in far as l am
concerned Never gave me chance
to look them over" He paused a
second. Specially imported might
say"
Il knew it, cried Judith. That's
the sort of thing l am afraid of. If he
has gone to the limit of introducing
one disease among our cattle, what
other plaques has he brought to the
ranch? Has he imported any other
i outside stock?"
mo. He's been buster selling at a
sacrifice than buying, just as / wrote
you. Never another head has he
bought lateiy-unless," and Trips
eye twinkled at her, you count
pigeons !"
pigeons - repeated Judith
Tripp nodded.
"Funny, isn't It." he went on lightly

just how many yet. He insisted on
my treating them the old way"
"Slaked lime? Or sulphur fumes?"
she said quickly. 'And you insisted
on chlOroform?" #
You've hit it," he exclaimed won
deringly. How'd you know?"
II haven't been loafing on the job
the last six mOnths,' she laughed.
I've been at the school at Davis and
hobnObbing with some of the univer-
sity men at Berkeley. They're doing
some great work there. Doc, I'll want
to talk 70 you about it. You're going
down there, expenses paid, to brush
up with a course or two this year.
Now, how soon can you get back
here?-Trevors? Oh, TrevOrs Is fired.
I'm running the ranch myself. And
Doc, l need few men like you! Can
you come early tomorrow ?-Tonight? =?
You're a God-blessed brickI Yes, I'll
stop that murderOus sulphur treat

She lost no time in calling for Bill
CrOwdy, the man whom TrevOrs had
put into Tripp's place.
by the way" she said when the
man with the voice which had sounded
so bOyish in her ears answered again,
''who are yOu?'
ED Masters" he told her. "Elec-
trician, you know"
What are you doing this after
noon" she demanded sharply-"just
hanging around the office? I'll tell
you one thing, Ed Masters. If you are
one of the loaf-around kind you'd bet
ter call for your time tonight. If
there's anything for you to do, go do
IL. Don't wait for Trevors. He's
gone. Yes, for good. You can report
to me here the first thing in the
morning. Now send me Crowdy."
He's down in the hospital and the
hospital phone is out of order"
'And you're an electrician, hang
ing around for orders! That's your
first job. Send the first man you can
get your hands on to tell Crowdy l
say not to touch one of those calves
with the lung-worm. And not to do
anything else but get ready to talk
with me. I'll be down in half an
hour"
1s@ AS she rode the five miles down to
the office at the Lower End, her
thoughts were constantly charged with
an appreciation of the wonders which
had been worked about her every
where since that day, ten years ago,
The Ely miner., 1924-10-17

when she had first come with Luke
Sanford 10 the original Blue Lake
ranch. Then there had been only. a
wild cattle-range, ten thousand acres
of brush, timber and uncultivated open
spaces. But Luke Sanford had seen
ten thousand acres, counting, from
the first sight of it, upon acquiring
as soon as might be those other thou
sands of acres which now made Blue
Lake ranch one of the biggest of
western ventures.
1t was late May, and the afternoon
air was sweet and warm with the
passing of spring. The girls eager
eyes travelled the length of the sky
seeking cliff almost at the back door
of the ranch-houSe, which stood like
some mighty barricade thrown up in
that mythical day given over to the
colossal struggle of contending race
of giants, and she found that there,
alone, time had shown no change.
Elsewhere, improvements at every
turn were living monuments to the
tireless brain of her father. Stock
corrals. sturdily built, outhouses spot
less in their cleaning, whitewash, mon
ster barns, fenced-off fields, bridges
across the narrow chasm of the froth-
ir.g river, telephone-poles with their
wires binding into one sheaf the num-
crous activities of the ranch, broad,
graded road over which she and her
