He laughed at her, waved and
turned to his work. He had plenty
to do, including erection of her
tent and temporary home.
Thoroughly delighted with her
mount, Ellen rode on off around
the turn in the hill, out of sight.
Some intuition, or some memory
of conversation with Bill, warned
her to get her bearings. She
glanced at Mount Wrightson, then
at Thunder Peak, which Bill had
pointed out before. She couldn't
be lost with these as landmarks.
She rode mile, two miles, up q
gradually narrowing canyon.
The rocks presently became
more and more intimate, rearing
higher, leaning as if to squeeze
her and Pintado in. She paused
beside a gigantic century plant
stalk, a. dead flower from last
spring, but still 20 feet tall. Other
scrubby growths interested her.
This is my land!" she breathed.

She had never owned land before,
and the possession of no other
property In all the world, not even
Of gold, is so thoroughly ss..isfy-
ing.
Pintado had been in a stable for
a week, hence was full Of energy
himself. He moved rapidly even
when walking. He evidently was
mountain bred, moved with the
sure-footed steps of a goat. Ellen
was noting these details and hav-
ing a perfectly delightful time
when a shot startled her.
She halted at once. Bang!
Somewhere near-maybe a few
hundred yards further up the now
brushy, rugged canyon, the shot
was repeated.
It frightened her, little.
"Yoo-hoo" she called.
She didn't want some hunter to
shoot her by accident. Bang!
Bang! Two shots answered.
It sounded like signal, maybe.
But she wasn't sure. She debated
what to do; finally decided to in
vestigate.
In 10 minutes she had threaded
up the brush and rocks and was
looking down at a man on the
ground. He was an elderly man.
A very weird, bearded man, with
rough clothing. His rifle lay be-
side him. He held up one hand,
TREMENDOUSLY, and gazed at Ellen
with pleading eyes.
For a moment she could only
stare down at him, spellbound.

without any trouble. Bill glowed
with pride for her.

Ellen had on her work" clothes
(although she looked more like
model from Fifth avenue) and so
did considerable manual labor.
She helped load the truck, and
started out alone.
''Heyw Bill shouted. whoa

missy. You gotta think, too.

what? And in this southwestern

Contrite, she left her drivers

bit more, and bought some food
for her to carry, purchased five
gallon and two-quart canteens-
the latter for saddle or shoulder
carrying-ulled them and put them
in her truck.

Her husband was a cow puncher.
They had a grown daughter who
reputedly was an excellent cook.

youngster could possibly be,
played a guitar and sang beauti-
fully; said he could dance, make
baskets, mix and mold adobe
bricks. shoot wild turkeys, trap
foxes, do trick roping, read and
write, catch fish, and do wood
carving. Such versatility merited

grinned after Ginning with the
lad.

the boy. Handy man, you.
Whatever Miss Dale can think up
for you to do, see?"
The boy was made supremely
happy. He came, in time, to wor-

out when the first of the remuda

"What'll you name him 2" he
asked her.
She considered it briefly, admir-

"Pintado."
That's his name, then. Pintado.
You like it, Pablo?" .
The boy nodded, smiling; Bill
voiced his approval, too.
Ellen learned to put on a Dridle
and saddle. Presently she was
