@Hap Slocum let out a single sharp
exclamation.
They left Jim on the blum to keep
the first watch.
Jim had Miss Herrick's word as to
the amount taken from her. 1t was a
certainty that Hays had also robbed
her brother. But he had not reported
the truth as TO the amount, and this
was another singular proof Of the dis
Indignation OF the chiefs character.
In all likelihood Sparrowhawk Lati.
mer was aware of this omission on the
chiefs part. Probably he had been
bribed to keep his mouth shut. What
ever there was to learn Jim meant to
learn.
While his thoughts ran In this fash
ion, skipping from n aspect to an
other, Jlm's keen manipulation of the
field glass followed suit. And after
each survey he world shift the glass
back to the oval bowl where the rob-
bers were at work.
Some were carrying water, brush,
stones. while other were digging post
holes. Hays began to lay a square
fireplace of fiat stones. The stone,
sand, water were fetched to him
but he did the building himself. An
hour or SO after the start the square
CRATE appeared to be completed, and
the chimney was going up. Four cot
tonwoods formed the four corner posts
of the shack. Poles OF the same wood
were laid across for beams. Probably
Hays would construct a roof Of brush,
and give 1t pitch enough so that 1t
would shed water.
Long after monday, and when Jim
had spent at least six hours on watch,
JEFF Bridges detached himself from his

way up the long slope to the bluff,
upon which Jim vas stationed.
Jim relinQuished the glass and his
seat to Bridges. He made his way
~leisurely down off the smooth red
lodges to the slope. and eventually to
the valley floor.

While they we're at 1t Smoky sug-

with a bad grace. So before dark
they built one for Miss Herrick that
would add materially to her comfort
A tiny stream ran out from under
the trees. Jim banked II up with
clean red rocks. forming a fine little
pool OF clear cold water. Smoky deft-
ly fashioned a rude armchair, which,
when covered with saddle blankets,
made an acceptable seat. Hays, not
to be wholly outdone, cut and carried
a great armload of ferns.
Come out, miss" he called into the
tent.
Helen emerged, her eyes suspicious
ly red, but that did not mar the flash
Of them.
"Hays, am | to gather from this
kindly service that my stay here will
be ~indefnite7" she querled.
"Wal, 1t looks like thet."
you can send Jim Wall and another
OF your men back to Star ranch. I'll
write a letter to my brother to pay
and ask no questions or make no
moves"
"Shore, I reckon Jim would go. It's
easy to see tibet. But none OF my reg
ular men would risk It." returned
Hays.
There's a better way, Hank" spoke
up Smoky. "Send Jim an me back
with the girl. II she'll promise 1t
wen get the money"
II give my word" swiftly agreed
Miss Herrick.
.When It quits me-which Ia when
it's safe to send fer tibet ransom
money--ITl do 1t an not before"
Hays stalked away toward the cook
shelter.
"You-what's your Manner Helen
asked, turning to Smoky.
wal, you car call me Smoky
drawled that worthy.
"Jim has made you a f~riend-to
help me7"
Il reckon 80, but fer Gawd's sake
don't talk so loud. Try to savvy this
deal, an what's your part In It."
Smoky wheeled to his task AZ Hays
