what did Hank tell you?'
Rosy asked.
Nothing! Except that the lake
had been blown out on top OF
Hammond's mine, and both it and
our spread are, ruined"
Rosy shook his head slowly
preparing his lie. cts no wonder
Hank didn't tell you any more
He couldn't. None of us can. We
don't know who did it. But one
thing we're sure of-Hammond
didn't
Mary sighed and turned to the
stove.
That was over, but the worst
was to come, Rosy thought. He
put it off until fresh hotcakes
were before him and he had put
away a plateful.
''Some jaspers comm to try and
buy the ranch this mornin'," he
announced.
"Who?"

pressed Mary, for she nodded
mutely.
cts none of my business, I'M
derstand," Rosy said, knowing
that he was blushing, but persist
ing anyway; ''but I've got to hear
him."
"Can you tell me why, Rosy?"
she asked him.
"Wait!" R % sy commanded,
holding up his hand. They were
very quiet. The steady beat of
hoofs came to them and Mary
ran to the window.
"Why, it's Ted-and stranger.
Is that the man Rosy?"
II reckon" Rosy said shortly.
'Where can I hide? And you bet
ter get these dishes cleared
away"
Mary ran to the front room,
Rosy following her. He picked
the low davenport, over which a
huge Navajo rug was thrown, for
his hiding place.
Mary held it up while he
crawled under. AS he was on his
knees he looked up at her. Ere

And believe me, I'm trying to
help you"
He heard the two men enter the
kitchen, the sound of voices, then
Mary saying distinctly: Come in
to the front room, Mr.. Crowell.'
Rosy heard them enter the
room and take chairs around the
fireplace, which was cold now.
Crowell offered Winters a cigar,
which he accepted with thanks,
and lighted.
Winters spoke now, his voice
thick with cigar smoke. II met
Mr.. Crowell on the way to Sole

come back with him. I think he's

but he knew it was the same
Whose could it be? His? No
Mary's or Dawes? No. The sher-
ifs? Hardly. Winters? :. Yes!
Now he remembered Winters
wore army boots, or eastern rid
ing boots.
Rosy squatted against the barn,
his heart numb. It was Winters,
all right. Whether he wanted to
believe it or not. Winters knew
about the lake being dynamited.
This, together with Quinn's evil
dence, was damning. And the
cigarette butt.
Sick, at heart, he turned into
the stable, crawled up into the
loft to wait for dawn.
Rosy sat erect with lunge. He
had been asleep and it was al
ready daylight. Was he too late?
No, there was the sheriff's voice
below, and Winters genial laugh.
He found a crack in the boards
and could look down into the
corral. They were saddling up.
''You like a early start, don't
your" the sheriff drawled ami
ably.
"Sure. I'm up every morning
before the rest of them are" Win
tiers said.
Rosy saw Winters let down the
corral gate, and both men led
their horses through.
Say" the sheriff said. 81
might ride down with you at
that. It's early yet"
1--WE got to ride over and tell
those nesters about the lake, "
Winters said. Maybe it'll crowd
ou."
"Yeah. Guess I better not at
that. It'll put me in town pretty
late. Well, so long"
Both men mounted, the sheriff
heading up the long slope to the
notch, Winters to the south to-
ward Soledad.
Winters had done a smooth job
of getting the sheriff out Of the
way, Rosy thought bitterly. With
a sinking heart, Rosy admitted
that it looked as if Winters was
expecting Crowell, and had gone
down to meet him.
He climbed down into a stall
and sat on a feed box.
He built a cigarette to steady
his nerves before he saw Mary.
What was he going to tell her?
Finally, he hitched up his belt
and walked toward the house.
Inside, Mary looked up from
the table. She had been sitting
staring out the window.
"Hullo, Rosy" She forced a
weak smile. where's Dave?"
'He stayed in town. He had
some business"
II didn't hear you come in"
'T'm part Injun," Rosy grinned.
Reckon you got any cold hot
cakes I can have?" He cursed
himself for not brushing the hay
off his clothes better
"Sure. And the coffee's hot"
She rose.
Suddenly, Mary whirled.
what will we do, Rosy? What's
it all about?" she cried.

Suppose they will stop there, the

longing to see good roads and talk
good roads that they have to make

They ought to be willing to make
the trip once when they expect the
bus drivers to haul little children
over them five days out of the week.
We are sure that they would find a
good road subject to talk about and
think that somewhere on the trip
they could find some place to use
the money to greater advantage
than for travelling expenses"

FIRE AT HEINTZELNIAN'S

A fire Wednesday afternoon at
the Harvey Heintzelman place on
the south river road, was put out
before much damage was done. Mr.
Heintzelman had put five gallon
lard can filled with oil on the stove
to warm up, which he was to use
about his live stock. Some of the
oil leaked out and caught fire, and
soon the contents in the can ignited.
Mr.. Heintzelman was not in the
kitchen at the time, and on opening
the door. the room was filed with
flames. and they struck him IN the
face. While his face is burned
pretty much all over. the burns are
not deep. Mr. Heintezelman let the
oil burn out, and then he threw wa
ter on the blaze, which had ignited
the woodwork. The fire depart
ment here was summoned, but the
blaze was out before it arrived.
The loss will probably amount TO
S100, or perhaps more.
