sends him up around by Gunlock to

straight back to town to send out
Carpy. You see, Bob could appear
up at Gun1ock casual-like and ask
questions and nobody would think
anythin' about it. Bob rides in and
out there often.
"Of course, he had to be careful.
But there's two honest men over
there, Bull Page and the Chink.
Bob set down in the kitchen for a
cup of coffee-hadn't had no break
fast-and buzzes the Chink. Final
ly he comes around to the sorrel

asks who rides it now. Rebstock,'

Sawdy paused again. There was
general silence.
"That's the story, boys. No, hold
on! Barney and Van Tambel left
the ranch at daylight this mornin'
for the pastures, with Barney on
the sorrel!"

call for hostIer was answered by
McAlpin himself, who, lantern in
hand, ambled in his peculiar gait
briskly forward.

waving like tall tree in a number

Barney's horse" he continued gruff-
ly-"got loose up the street just
now-seen anythin' of stray?"
McAlpin, raising his lantern,
looked at Rebstock. "Why, yes,s
seen a stray" he admitted sulkily.
'Was it sorrel?" asked SAVOY
with some hope.

and down to the Red Front saloon.
But from the moment the big adj
venturer stepped out of the back
door of one saloon and in at the
front door Of the other, curious
change took place. He had left

fact a very moderate man. He
strobe into the Red Front reeling.
The bar was we'll filled. SAVOY
saw at glance that among the men
lined up there were number of
town loafers who never drank ex-
cept at somebody's expense. When
Sawdy caught sight of Redstock
with the loafers around him, infer
ence was swift and correct Bar
ney had money.
The saloonkeeper, Harry Boland,
foxy-eyed and alert at the head of
the bar, saw SAVOY stagger In
through the green baize he watched
the big fellow closely. SAVOY zig
Jagged back towards the loafers
among whom Barney was holding
forth.
He greeted Barney graveIy, then
ordered drinks for everybody in
Barney Rebstock's honor. Having
fingered over the round, SAVOY cast
his eye approvingly upon the thirsty
crowd, passed the foretinger Of his
right hand thoughtfully under each
wing of his mustache in turn, drew
from a vest pocket a gold double
eagle, and made a general pro-
pOsal.
"I'll match any man here for
twenty-dollar gold pieces" 1t was
a fairly safe offer, because he well
knew all the loafers put together
could not raise twenty dollars.
Barney, after some shilly-shally-
ing, accepted the challenge. He
asked Boland to lend him gold
piece. When Boland produced
twenty-dollar coin and tossed it out
to Barney, it did not take sawdy
long to figure out that Barney had
money and that it was in the keep
ing of the saloonkeeper. Sawdy,
VIGOROUSLY lucky at matching, lost
out after several trials: he quit
forty dollars to the bad. But he
had Barney greatly inflated by his
triumph, with the whole room crowd
ing eagerly around the contestants.
After round of drinks at Bar
ney's charge, Sawdy brought the
talk around to fine-looking sorrel
outside at the hitch rack. Barney
claimed it. SAVOY wanted to buy
it. Barney demurred.
Boland heard the talk. He drew
Barney to the rear end Of the bar.
"Sell it to him, you fool" whis-
pered Boland. Don't you see he's
drunk as a fiddler? You can get
twice what the horse Is worth"
Thus encouraged, Barney stepped
out Of doors with Sawdy, followed
by a little circle Of the curious.
The horse was gone. This fact
caused no great excitement; SAVOY
suggested, he had got loose and
strayed up or down the street and
that they take a look around to find
him. The curiosity, of the. crowd
weakened, and they re-entered the
saloon, hoping for another chance
to get a drink. Sawdy and Barney
walked down the street together,
wrangling as they went over the
mischance ano the merits of the
missing horse. AS the pair passed
McAlpin's barn it occurred to Saw
dy they had better look in and ask
for information.

Jane undertook to mount.
'Look here, girlie!" said McCros-
sen suddenly. "Why don't you like
meg" Without further preface
than a laugh he caught her in his
arms. "1'll do anythin' to please
you"
Jane, struggling angrily, stood
pinned. He laughed immoderately
at her efforts to tear herself away.
She rained blows on him with her
fists. "Let me go!" she painted. 81

Still laughing, he tried to talk
down her anger. She got away
from him. "Hate me as much as
you like, jamie, but I'm goin' to
have you. I'll kill any man that
tries to take you away from me-"
he continued coolly.
Painting, and furious with anger
and fear, she got into her hand the
riding whip dangling from her wrist
and dashed him across the face and
head.
AS she dashed away, McCrossen
drew paper and tobacco from his
pocket, rolled a cigarette, and lick
ing the papers edge as he looked
after Jane riding toward Denison's
ranch, struck a match, lighted up,
and started for the clubhouse.
Jane, her heart beating tumultu-
ously, galloped swiftly along the
trail, completely upset by McCros-
sens bullying and the worry in her
breast.
Instead of heading first for town,
she rode over to Denison's ranch.
The sight of the ranch-house ruins
was a shock, even though she tried
to steel herself against it. A man
down near the corral was leading
one of Denison's horses to the barn.
"Are you Ben Pager asked Jane
abruptly.
"Yes'm."
"How did this happen, Benz" she
asked sympathetically.
"You tell,'' he returned sullenly.
'sTell me all about it, Ben. I'm
from Gunlock and a friend of
Bill's."
He regarded her with suspicion.
"Must be the only one he's got over
there" he growled.
Jane swallowed. II hope it isn't

Carpy was taken aback. He had
said more than he meant to. "Why,

"To annoy Bill?" asked Jane in
credu1ously.
"You can't tell" persisted the
doctor, gathering courage as he
proceeded.
''How is he coming on, doctor?"
"Al1 right, so far. It'll take time

NUNS the word.''
The utter absence of authentic de-
tails concerning the cause of the
fire called for a more active effort
on the part of the Imagination;
and this in turn indicated it's stim-
ulation at Jake SPOTS bar. So the
old guard were gathered on this
morning still discussing the "out-
rage"
Among those grouped at the in
ner end Of SPOTS long bar were
three veterans Of the frontier. Hen
ry Savoy, calm. portly, pulled re-
fectively at his long-horned mus
tachios and fingered his well-flled
glass without raising it to his lips.
John Lefever, likewise full-bodied
as old port, whistling "sotto
vokey," as SAVOY described it,
twirled his glass and listened for
the next fire theory offered by Jim
McAlpin, the thin, nervous, wealth
er-beaten-faced liveryman.
Toward this trio there now saun-
tered Bill Pardaloe.
whats the last news, boys?" he
asked in general appeal.
"Just like the first and that's
nothin' at ALL" said McAlpin. "Give
me the same, Oscar, with more bit
tiers. Hold on, boys! By the Lord,
If I'm alive, there comes Ben Page
now" .,:
"Hey! Ben! This way" cried
SAVOY as the stumpy bowlegged
cowman walked down the barroom
towards them. "Come along and
wet up"
''Well, Ben,' demanded Sawdy,
when the glasses were set down,
what about the fre?"
II jumped through the window"
The longer the group tarried the
more resentful they grew at the
thought of Bill Denison's being
burned out. 1t was at last decided
to let Sawdy and Pardaloe ride to
Denison's together to make an "offi-
cial investigation" They took the
Reservation trail and halfway out
met Bob Scott riding into town.
The two adventurers halted Bob.
explained their errand, and asked
him to- join them.
Scott wheeled his horse around,
and the three galloped for Deni-
sons ranch.
That night, late, SAVOY, Lefever,
McAlpin, Pardaloe, and Ben Page
met.
Boys began Sawdy, gravely,
when the doors were carefully shut
and outer approaches examined,

was Barney out that night of the
fire; was the sorrel out. Old Bull
is nighthawk around Gunlock-
you know that. He may have sus-
pected what was in Bob's mind, but
he wouldn't give a whoop anyway.
He hates Barney like poison. He
told Bob that Barney was the only
man outside the clubhouse that
night. And he heard him ridin'
away"
SAVOY stopped the general dis
cussion. "Boys, what you goin' to

Pardaloe rose. Some experience
in frontier courts of this kind had
convinced him that it was time for
a sheriff or an ex-sheriff to be NOV
ing on.
"Run along, Bill" added sawdy.
well see you later-maybe."
With the ex-sheriff gone, SAVOY
called for opinion as to what, if
any, action should be taken.
IF any!" exclaimed McAlpin,
echoing the words scornfully. "Man
alive, you know it amt a question
of If any action. It's a question
Of what kind of action"
"Got a rope here, McAlpin?"
"Got 'em big and little, old and
new"
'Don't misunderstood me, boys"
interposed SAVOY. II want to
string him up and down a few times
to get the story out of him. A lit
tie argument like that'll bring it"
Boys" said McAlpin, Give an
idea you can catch Rebstock right
here in town. If he set the fire, he's
got money aplenty. It's burnin'
holes in his pockets. Catch your
cat in the Red Front saloon; call
him out the back door; set him on
a horse and ride him down to the
bridge-that's gentlemanly and pri-
vate."
tits the first time in your life,
but I guess you are right, Meal
pin," said SAVOY. "We've just got
to set the rope watch on Barney"
Ten minutes later found the
worthless concealed-except Meal
pin, detained at the barn-lined up
at Jack Spotts' bar.
"Have you seen Barney Reb-
stock this evening"" asked Lefever,
casually.
Spots face darkened-he, too,
hated Barney. II amt seen him,
and don't ask nothin' like that to
make me swear. Boys" he added,
addressing the group, "you know
Panama spent a whole year tryin'
to break me of my bad habit of

for him to know, I'm goin' to quit
swearin'. I give public notice, here

not goin' to cuss him out, like I
used to. No! I'm just goin' to lick

At that moment the back screen

out Of breath, rushed into the room.
