CHAPTER x

For long time after Crooked Bill
had left his Office Don Prudencio AL
viso sat In his swivel chair and stared
hard at the opposite wall He was
thinking equally hard. Presently he
took down the telephone and called
the proprietor of the Mansion house
and with him held a conversation in
Spanish. Then he hung up and waited
Presently the telephone rang and Don
Prudencio answered, "Gracias." He
hung up and wrote on scratch pad
the initials w. B. L. Thereafter he
continued to stare at the wall for an
other hour.
The following night he appeared at
the Rancho Vale Verde. Roberta was
dressing for dinner, and Don Jaime
was lying in his long chair on the
gallery, with Ken Hobart beside him.
Hello, Prudy, what brings you
out?" Don jaime hailed him.
81 am mystified," Don Prudencio re-
piled, and forthwith related In meticu-
lous detail his impending sale of the
Antrim sheep to a fat-headed old gen
tleman for very great deal more
than they were worth. "He said his
name was Blodgett, and signed the
contract William L. Blodgett," the law
yer continued "He did not say where
he was from, but could see he knew
nothing of sheep and was a city man.
He did not bargain with me and he
seemed to me to be quite too anxious
to buy the sheep. So telephoned to
the Mansion house to inquire If he was
stopping there and when | described
him they said they had guest there
from New York by that name, but that
his baggage carried the initials W.B. L"
"Hum-m-m" Don Jaime grunted and
sat up very straight. HE isn't a very
good liar, is he? What does W. B. l..
of New York, want of the Antrim
sheep, and why should he pay such
a high price for them2 This Is indeed
very mysterious, Prudy. Did he de

he habitually wore, metamorphosed
Crooked Bill into very fair imitation
of Texas citizen of the wide open

Don PrudenciO Alviso.
"My names Blodgett, Mr.. Alviso,"
he announced, and soothed his con-
science with the thought that ii was
his middle name. 81 understand you're

also understand he left quite a
smear of sheep"
Don Prudencio nodded.
"Are they for sale?"
"a sale might be arranged, weeth
the consent of the court, Senor Blod-
gett." Don Prudencio answered guard
edly.
Fine" said Crooked Bill. 'T'll buy
them. I've a notion l. can make a
turn on those sheep. / understand An
trims heir lives in New York, so
presume she'll be glad to sell and git
rid of nuisance"
Don Prudencio shrugged. Maybe
So" With his eyes he inquired what
Senor Blodgett's offer might be. Hav-
ing looked up the market quotations
in an El Paso paper Crooked Bill
promptly named a figure one dollar
per head above the highest market
quotations.
Don Prudencio stirred slightly. II

purred. 81 am the executor for the

"T'll have the money wired to the
credit of the estate In any bank you
You've sold something"
Don Prudencio Alviso might have
looked sleepy, but behind those slight
ly liverish eyes he was very wide
awake. Within ten minutes he had
William B. Latham sewed up on a
contract of purchase and sale, pro-
vided the court approved Don Pruden-
clos action as executor.
When Crooked Bill had the contract
| safely tucked In his pocket he COM
menced talking with Don Prudencio
about the deceased Tom Antrim, and
learned that for few days following
Antrim's death the sheep had re-
mained in charge of one Bill Dingle,
Antrim's foreman. Later Dingle had
been rather forcibly relieved of his
charges by Jaime Higuenes, of the
Rancho Vale Verde.
"That Dingle might be good expe-
rienced sheepman to care for these
sheep in case the court approves the
sale," Crooked Bill suggested hope
fully. "Where might one get in touch
with him?"
Don Prudencio gave him minute di-
rections for finding Mr. Dingle, and
| with heart beating high with hope
Crooked Bill took his departure.
Tomorrow I'll hire car and driver
and HE me out to saw those sheep off

WANTED: TOYS-REPAIRMEN

The Toy Mission, 211 High street,
is fast growing into what promises
to be the greatest accumulation of
toys, novelties, whatnots, etc., for the
amusement and gladdening of the
hearts of little ones, ever gathered
together in Hamilton. But like the
oldtime street car, there is always
room, and need, for more. If YOU
have any unused, worn or battered
toys and playthings about the house
that can be spared or that the chill
dren are willing to give up for the
gladdening of some less fortunate
little one, get it to the Toy Mission
at once.
This year the distribution of bas-
kets at Christmas time is being left
to the welfare and relief organiza-
tions. The basket contents are to be
augmented with the addition of
chickens and fresh vegetables, can
dies, etc. But that really wouldn't
mean anything to those too young
to understand the situation, and why
Santa Claus didn't come around, as he
did to the little boy and girl next
door. And here is where the Toy
Mission comes in. The mission is to
fill in the program of "Hamilton's
Modified Christmas in Every Home"
by seeing to it that every child, on
Christmas morn, is made happy and
glad and has reasons for thinking
there really is Santa Claus. Could
you help in a better cause? If you
haven't any disused or old toys, and
can afford it, why not buy few new
ones and bring them in. Man, what
a picnic and circus you can get out
