Rock glanced up to see the slim

MYSTERY IN THE MOONLIGHT

If he had been rude or bold that
day of the meeting in Winters
f%'store, he could understand.
But he had only been full of fun
he could not remember saying
anything to which Thirty could take
exception, unless it was that silly
remark about the spilled rice being
an omen. So his mind ran, and the
supper was not a satisfaction to
him.
The long table was bountifully
spread, steaming, savory. Mrs.
Preston sat at the foot, with Lucy
on one side and Burr on the other.
Alice's place was next to Rock, and
she most solicitously served him.
The twins and Albert, with their
silver hair wet and plastered back,
sat next to Thirty, faces over their
plates. The elder brothers oc-
cupied seats on the bench beyond
Alice. There was hardly any I'M
necessary conversation.
When s~upperended, dusk had just
fallen. 1t was not going to be very
dark, at least early in the evening,
for a half-moon scared out from
under the white fleecy clouds.
Over the western wall, between
its end and the foothills, now mys-
tic and dim, poured a medium like
transparent lilac water. 1t moved.
It flashed and glinted, as if falling
stars shot thru it down to the
depth of amethyst. And every sec
ond there was change, till the
light faded, to show Sunset Pass
only, a wild, broken defile, shading
to gray and black.
Rock sat on the edge Of the
porch, attended again by the chill
dren. The older sons stalked away
while the younger fingered, evil
IDENTIFY accepting the newcomer.
The womenfolk, except Thirty, who
had gone into the other cabin with
her father, were in the kitchen.
"Can you tell Tom from Harry"
Burr asked, mischievously, of
Rock.
"No. Can your"
"Sure can" he replied, then
whispered, "ITI tell you how if you
get stuck"
Presently the rancher came out
alone. There was a lighted lamp
inside.
''Boys, hyar's some work fer you
to break Rock in on tomorrow" he
said. "Grease the wheels Of the
green wagon. Then hitch up an
go down to the slaughter-nouse.

"That'll tickle Thirty. I'll tell

Rock contrived, while letting
Burr drag him round to look at
the antlers of deer and elk, to catch
a glimpse of Thirty at her work. She
was alone in there, for Lucy had
come running out. Rock thought
she looked very sweet and domes-
tic and capable. On the way back
round the porch he stopped a mo-
ment to have another glimpse. This
time she glanced up and caught
him.
Rock essayed to smile and pass
on, to make his action seem casual.
But her gaze held him stock-still,
and it was certain he could not find
a ready smile. She ceased her IRON
ing and transfixed him with great
eyes of wonder and reproach, al
most resentment. She accused him,
she blamed him for coming. He
had brought her more trouble.
Rock was so reused that he forgot
himself and returned her look with
all the amaze and entreaty he felt.

SUSPICIOUS PROSPERITY

Lately we throwed up four
more cabins" Preston said, IAN
now we're shore comfortable"
The little cabin over by the creek
under the largest Of the pines was
occupied by Alice and Thirty, and
they, according to Preston, had just
about put that cabin up themselves.
But Rocks quick eye gathered at
once that preston or some one of
his sons was something of an ar
chitect and a most efficient carpen-
ter.
Except the two large cabins,
nearest the road, the others were
some distance apart. The small emp
ty cabin, where Rocks packs had
been left, was off among the trees
fully a hundred yards; the next,
where Preston's sons, Tom, Albert
and Harry, lived, appeared an
equal distance farther, and the
last, occupied by Range Preston,
and some of the other boys, stood
close under the north slope Of the
Pass.
The grassy divide sloped gradual
ly to the west, and down below the
level, where cedars grew thicker
and the pines thinned out, were
the corrals and barns and open
sheds, substantial and we'll built.
Another log chute brought running
water from the hill. Rock found his
white horse in one Of the corrals,
surrounded by three lanky youths
from is to 20 years old. Preston
introduced them as the inseparable
three, Tom, Albert, and Harry.
They had the Preston fairness, and
Tom and Harry were twins.
Both money and labor had been
lavished on this ranch; and it was
something to open the eyes of old
time homesteaders like Slagle. Ev-
EN- prosperity would not have in
duced Slagle to such extremes of
improvement. But then, Rock re-
Elected, Preston must be a hard
worker, and he had seven stalwart
sons.
"Preston, if I owned this ranch
I'd never leave it a single day." was
Rocks eloquent encomium.
"Wal, I'd shore hate to leave it
myself" returned the other, terse-
ly.
Elbow many cattle have you?
queried Rock, because he knew this
was a natural question.
"Don't have much idee. Ten
thousand haid, Ash says. We run
three herds, the small one down on
the Flats, another hyar in the Pass,
an the third an big herd up in the
Foothills"
NATURALLY the third means the
big job" said Rock.
