soon noticed that only part of the
house was used. Then knew, though
no one told me, that the thing which
filled me with uneasiness was IN the
west end Of the house, behind those
neatly -boarded-up windows and one
door.
NIHEN entered the house, I dis
w covered a padlocked door in the
dining room. I would have imme-
diately asked any other man for an
explanation, but Blacky's grimness in
hibited my natural straightforward
ness. Yet I had to know about this
thing.
AS I was helping him carry in the
supplies, I innocently stepped from
the kitchen into the dining room and
asked If he wished this salmon put
in the store room, there at the other
end"
He turned on me with animal fierce
ness, shaking his bushy black head,
and for all my feet and broad shoul-
ders I felt extremely i'll at ease. But
instead of springing on me, as his at
titude had led me to expect, he handed
the water pals to me and with few
eruff words made me understand where
to find the spring. Il soon learned
the pals were always empty.)

the locked door from Sam Lake, my
boss, or from some other of his hands.
But when I met and mingled with
these tall, lean, wiry men some un-

to overcome it. And in my first days,
when I was riding either with Sam
or his top COW hand, Mike, I often
attempted to start a conversation
which would lead up to the subject.
But I soon realized that I must

he warmed the beans and made sour

quarters, the two east rooms, with

bothered me, it was so unusual for a

nonchalantly. I stepped quickly to
the door.
He looked narrowly at me and
knew from his expression that he
took me for the original fool. With
one quick glance I surveyed the
room, then centered my attention
on the wall. We found no damage
was glad for Sans sake.
This part of the home was one
large room, furnished far better than
any parlor I had ever seen, but ii
was in keeping with the richest OF
Eastern homes. There was even a
piano. On the walls hung two OF
three expensive tapestries and at the
windows were lace curtains. Now that
had seen the room I was more baf-
fed than ever What was Sam doing
with this expensive furniture, out
here so miles from railroad?

IT WAS getting dusk. Mike and
were putting out the branding fire
I turned to him and asked directly.
Where did Sam get that furni-
ture?"
He looked at me very strangely
THAT subject isn't mentioned around

countered. Determined not to be put
of, insisted. Since I know about
the furniture, you might tell me-"
He looked intently at me for a few
seconds, then he glanced toward the
house. Mrs. Lakes father is a rich
furniture man in the East. He gave
them furniture for wedding present
Paid all the shipping expenses"
Abashed, I quietly queried, "She
died here?"
Mike shook his head "She went back
home. She couldn't stand it here
He ceased speaking and stood star

quietness of the night seemed suddenly
to become ominous and threatening.
Then from the hilltops came the
plaintive howls Of the coyotes.
