The Fighting Tenderfoot

"Touche," he laughed. "The answer
is that we're both prodigal in our ad-
miration Of Miss Steelman."
Beneath the tan in the girls cheeks
the color moved. This young mans
compliments were little too pointed.
She called to a red-headed cowboy
who was passing:
"Will you take these gentlemen to
the lower cabin. Red, and see they're
made comfortable" To her guests
she added: Supper at six If dad
doesn't see you before them. He's out
somewhere just now with Jack
Phillips. I think. Please make yore-
selves at home"
The days that followed were pleas
ant ones to both the tenderfeet enjoy
ing the hospitality Of the ranch. The
life they led was stimulating out
door one. With the Hashknife cow
boys they rode. the range, chasing wild
longhorns through the fragrant chapar-
raj thickets. They assisted at brand
ing and cutting out. They tried their
hands at night-herding and trail-driv-
ing. Sometimes Yves Steelman and
one of his long-bodied sons, or per-
haps Barbara, rode with them and ex-
planned this unique society which cat
tie had created in the semi-arid West.
And every day, no matter what else
they did, the two guests found time to
practice with their Colts.
1t cannot be said that O'Hara was
easy in his mind. He had the tenn
permanent which found exhilaration in
immediate danger, but the thought of
peril deferred brought disturbing mo-
ments. Though he was learning how
to use six-shooter, there was no use
deceiving himself into the error Of
thinking he stood an even chance with
Sanderson. Moreover, it was likely
enough that the man would shoot him
down from ambush as he had tried to
do once before. The knowledge that
one Is marked for death in the mind
of a callous killer makes for de-
preston.
His personal feud with Sanderson
began to merge itself in the general
one between the houses Of Steelman
and Ingram. He had promised him
self not to become partisan, but he
was one already in feeling. The Steel
mans had thrown wide open to him
the door Of their home. He had par
taken Of their generous hospitality.
Why deny to himself that he wished
them well in the conflict with Ingram
and his supporters?

1t was in 1541 that Coronado fol-
lowed the future line of the Santa
Fe trail, probably as far as the site
of Wichita, and that date. though the
suggestion as to earlier years fails to
response, deserves some sort of COM
memoration. The Santa Fe trail or por-
lions of it, must have known the sweep
of more than one ancient migration
before Coronado's day-perhaps de-
scending from the North, perhaps
coming up out of the crowded old
civilizations of the South-but its
known history began with Coronado.

To O'Hara it seemed that the girl lay
there a moment relaxed, drinking in
his savage kiss, before she pushed him
from her with all the energy Of her
strong arms. She flung one flaming
look at him, then turned and ran
toward the horses.

CHAPTER Nv
A Rendezvous

Smith-Beresford was watching Bar
bara Steelman. She was saddling her
pony, though wrangler was at hand
doing nothing. A minute before she
had roped the animal. That was like
her. She had a self-reliant, indie
pendent streak in her. Usually she
preferred to do her own catching and
clnching. In this case the Britisher
had offered to saddle for her and also
to join her on the ride, and she had
contrived without hurting his feelings
to reject both prOffers.
The Englishman called to O'Hara.
who had just come out Of their bunk
house. IF you're ready, old chap,
we'll be off," he called.
O'Hara was ready. Ten minutes
later they took the trail up the creek.
The wagon road ended at the ranch,
but zigzag path was well defined
along the stream. They followed 1t
out Of the park to the rugged hills
beyond.
Toward noon they separated, Smith
Beresford working up toward the d.
vide and his companion taking the
shoulder of hill that presently
brought him above wooded draw.
O'Hara dismounted and tied his
horse. Rifle in hand, he crept forward
through the brush. For he had heard
the sound Of breaking twigs. There
was the chance Of finding deer feed
ing in the hill pocket below.
What he saw was even more sur
prising: two saddled horses grazing
among the pines. Voices drifted to
him from just below. He was on a
bluff and he moved cautiously to the
edge of it and looked down. A woman
was talking. He could not at first see
her face, but the figure was slender
and graceful, the voice young and
vibrant, just now passionately re-
proachful.
81 DON'T" she cried. 81 don't. I
don't. How could I when you're So
so hateful?"
''I'm hateful, am I? But you love
me just the same" A man laughed,
slowly, contentedly. as though he rel
ished the fact.
"That's what you'd like-to make
me love you anyhow" she went ON re-
sentfully. 1T has to be all take an
no give with you, hasn't it? I'm just
to be another triumph for you over
my father. You want to take even his
own daughter from him so as to gloat
over him. Sometimes I hate you for
being the kind Of man you are"
The man looked down at her, his
eyes close to hers. "An' sometimes
you're wild about me for being like /
am. Don't pull on yore picket pin,
Barbara. Be reasonable. A man has
got to play the hand that's dealt him.
I'm not gonna lie down to Yves Steel
man because he's yore dad. You
know better than to ask it. Now
listen. It'll be like this when we're
married. You'll be Dave Ingram's
wife. l won't be Barbara Steelman's
husband. I'm no stray cat for you to
drag home. What kind of a man
would be if 1 knuckled down to yore
dad because you asked me to quit an
throw down all my friends? You'd
despise me for it."
81 don't ask that" she cried. "All
want is for you to let him see that

phantly. 'Wipe that out if you cam"
he called to her.
Barbara Steelman did not answer
She pulled the slip knot Of her horses
bride rein and climbed to the saddle
Swinging the animal around, she put
it at the steep rock ascent which led
circuitously to the top Of the bluff.
O'Hara woke up to action. Pres
emily, emerging from the draw, she
would reach the clump Of pines where
he had tied his horse. He was caught
He could not get away without being
discovered. Perhaps he could deceive
her into thinking that he had not
known of her presence.
Swiftly he ran for the pines. Just
before he reached his horse he could
see her head and shoulders riding into
view. With fingers all thumbs he un-
cinched and dragged the saddle from
the COW pony's back. He did not look
around, but made himself very busy
examining a CALLED spot on the ami
mails back.
A stifled little cry made him turn.
Barbara had apparently come almost
upon him before becoming aware Of
him. She had drawn up her mount
instinctively and was looking at him.
That she had been weeping was so
plain that he thought it better not to
pretend to ignore it.
"What is it, Miss Steelman? Can
do anything for you?" he stammered.
where did you come from? Where
have you been?" she demanded.
"We've been hunting. left Mr..
Smith-B eresford to see if there was a
mule deer in the hollow maybe"
Sand what did you see there?
IL stopped TOTO look at my
horses back" he said, turning a fiery
red.
You're a poor liar" she told him
bluntly. "You saw us down there in
the head Of the hollow, Dave Ingram
an I. Now you know what kind Of a
girl I am, that rode nine miles to
throw myself at the head of my ia
theirs enemy"
He was acutely distressed at her
proud shame. Desperately he took the
bit between his teeth and trod down
his shyness.
"Yes, Miss Barbara, I know what
kind Of a girl you are, how bravely
you've tried to keep peace between
your father and Ingram. IL honor
you for everything heard and saw"
Amazed, she looked at him, the
stains of the tears still on her brown
cheeks.
"You don't think came because
because had to see Dave Ingram, be-
cause l couldn't live without seeing
him?" she demanded.
mo, don't think that"
'"Then you're a fool, for that's ex-
actly why I came" Barbara blurted
out in establishment.
Her humiliation, the scornful express
sion of it, shocked him. He could
guess how much her pride was hurt.
II don't know why you came. That
doesn't make any difference Ali I
know is that you are good and-and
fine-and that I'd want my sister to be
like YOU"
Tears swan in her eyes. His words
had gone to her heart as rain does to
the roots of thirsty grass.
You're good" she said simply. She
knew that some men would not have

layed Radio communication has
been limited this week, which
was spent chipping boilers. Our
only available power was that
generated by the small auxiliary
gasoline motor, operated for two
hours each day.
The same effect" screening"
from the EASTERN localities, is
experienced, as when we were
last here at Kerguelen Island,
but the difficulty does not exist
. few miles away from the
island.
RADIO IRREGULAR
During the voyage into and
Z away from the pack ice and back
to our base, Radio Operator VIII
1iams met many curious irregu-
larities in radio distribution. For
example, although we have been
within 2,00O miles of the base OF
Rear Admiral Byrd, on the other
side Of Antarctica, we never were
able to communicate with him di-
rectly.
Our coaling is far advanced, and
we expect our engine overhauling
to be completed Friday morning.
Meanwhile, besides assisting in
these operations, our scientific
staff, though hampered by the
hurricane winds, descending at
frequent intervals, is busy map
ping and collecting specimens
about the neighborhood.
SAMOYED DOGS SIGHTED
On these excursions white Sa
moyed dogs, in fine fettle and
most wild, frequently are sighted.
It is reported they descended on
the sledge dogs left by the Goss
expedition in 1912, and are de-
Structive to birds and seals.

SEEK HUNTER
MISSING SINCE
DEC. IS

WAYNESBORO, Jan. 27.-De-
spite the efforts of relatives, news
papers and police officials of a
dozen cities to whom appeals were
made, the whereabouts of Harry
L. Shue, 28-year-old Wanesboro
resident, who disappeared from
his home on December 13, remains
a mystery.
The trail Of Shue, built on
false leads, has extended to the
Canadian border as tar west as
Kansas and to Florida on the
south. A score of cities have
promised aid in locating him.
He Went Hunting
Shue left his home here on
the morning of December 13 for
a hunt in the mountain regions
near Crimora, five miles from
here. That day in company with
two other men he became lost
in the mountains and did not
get out until midnight.
They left him on the main
street of WaynesSoro in the
early hours of the morning, each
going to his separate home. Shue
has never been seen stree.
Relatives, led by a brother, L.
E. Shue, searched L woodland
strip, before the information of
the hunt and safe return had
reached them, fearing that he
might have had an accident.
Four Cities Aid
This idea has been abandoned,
however, since the companions
story was told of his return that
day.
Letters this week have come
to the brother from fOul differ
ent cities, where Shue has worked
before, but no information is
impaired.
Shue is q little over five feet
tall and was wearing work clothes
when he disappeared.
