CHAPTER XVII

Cook and Sierra rode back to
headquarters that afternoon. Breck
sent his message by wire, and then,
turning into his bunk while it was
still daylight, slept the clock around.
His cabin was flooded with morning
sun when he awoke. Even as he
closed his eyes again, reluctant to
leave the blankets, his telephone
tangled from its post beyond the
door.
He bounded out barefooted.
Cooks voice came over the line.
Hello, Rock House, how is the
morning?"
Haven't had look at it yet"
"Then here's something to wake
you up. A relay from Lone Tree. F"
"All right" said Breck. Lets
have it."
He heard Cooks low chuckle,
then: Saved my life. Will meet
you Friday. Party of five"
The ranger paused. "It's signed" !"
he continued presently, "but reck-
on the telephone girl got it wrong, or
I must have misunderstood in writ
ing it down. Looks like old
Thing"
Breck grinned into the little iron
box, but agreed solemnly, That's
a mistake, Dad. The name is Suth-
er'and, you know"
Nov then," Cook said, we've
got to work this so you aren't away
from the station more than two
nights. Understand me?"
Easy"
"All right. Friday is two days
off. You start out tomorrow morn
ing and make Dick Divine's camp
by dark Then If your folks come
any time at all before noon Friday
you can pack them as far as Sum
NIT and camp. That will put you in
Rock House again Saturday"
OK" Breck answered.
After breakfast he dedicated his
time to making tenderfoot tourists
less tender. He. could visualize the

sharp eyes looking from under long
gray brows.
"Who's yere?" he demanded.
Granger from Rock House"
well, howdy, Ranger. Are you
putin up?"
For one night" Breck answered.
He swung to the ground, and pres
emily, having explained what he
wanted and turned his animals loose
with hobbies, he came back to find
a meal fixed for him on the pack
er's table.
Art Tillson was still in camp the
next morning. Rigging saddles for
the tourists to come, Breck saw 9TH
er cowmen load their strings of
mules and. vanish up the mountain.
But Art, single-handed, was later
than the rest. It was almost noon
before he had his salt train ready.
His mules were punched, and
mounted, he was trying to rush
them into line, when abruptly a
roadster shot through the willow
thicket. His animals plunged from
the car, bucking at their packs as
they scattered. Art wheeled his
horse savagely as the car halted
near him.
Breck had watched the swift scene
from Divine's cabin, and now saw a
girls hand make little gesture to-
ward Art. The boy snatched off his
hat, and then as the girl drove on,
remained fixed in his saddle, star
| ing after her.
| He was still sitting like that,

party of five arriving after their day
and a half in the saddle-the Sena-
tor, padded in the wrong spot and
letting the whole forest know how
he hurt; his wife suffering more and
saying less about it; Irene good
sport If she cared to be. The other
two would be maid and chauf-
feur, who was also the Senator's
handy-man.
Preparing camp for them, he put
up four tents near the stream and
not too far above his cabin.
He was on the down trail early
next morning, for in the night he
had realized it was only fair to stop
at Temple Meadow and mention this
party to Louise. The corral bars
we're open and the place apparently
deserted when he came into camp.
But in a moment Tom Temple
opened his cabin door and hobbled
out
Almost his first words were,
'Louy's gone saltin'."
AS frankly, Breck answered,
That's too bad. I hoped to see
her. Anything you want from the
valley? I'm headed out and will be
here again Saturday"
Temple wagged his gray head.
Thanks, Ranger, but the boys are
maxim trips every day now. bring
in up salt. The whole range has
it trucked up as far as Divine's,
you know, then we pack it. Takes
a heap of salt while our stuff is on
green grass.
Breck hooked one knee around his
saddle horn and smoked a cigarette
before starting on.
"Figurin' to be at the rodeo?"
Temple asked.
"When is that?"

done and the boys can get togeth-

Sounds like a big time" said
Breck. Count on me. And say, are
outsiders allowed? Tourists
| mean"
Lord almighty yes! They won't
be outsiders when they git here!"
"I guess not," Breck grinned.
.I'm bringing a party of five back
this trip, some friends who'll camp
at Rock House. They'd get a big
/ wallop out of your show"
Bring EN-" Temple repeated.
"More the betterl"
Breck gave his promise, then rode
on.
Twice on the way down he met
salt trains coming up; cowboys with
dozen mules, each mule carrying
two hundred and fifty pounds OF
rock in burlap bags. BY evening
he was on the last steep slope OF
the granite wall, with the Mojave
Desert stretching away in a purple
shadow of the Sierras themselves.
At dark he came into the first cor
rails of Dick Divine's pack outfit,
and upon crossing a stream rode al
once among fires of more cowboys
camped near long piles of salt.
Dusk hid their faces. Some greet
Ad him. Then he passed one alone
who glanced up from his solitary
blaze of willow twigs, stared and
said nothing.
/ Breck raised hand, though he
knew there would be no reply
"Howdy, Art"
Shortly after that he approached
a small house, strangely neat and
white in a garden of flowers, as
contrasted to the mule corrals and
rough life about it. Dick Divine
came to the door, holding up Ian
tern as he peered out. His face
showed wrinkled and toothless, with

Rustic Up Some Words.

BY PROF. j. d. FLINT.
A poet was hard at work on what
promised to become his greatest
masterpiece. He was the kind of
a poet who has favorite words and
combinations of letters that will
produce the most effective sounds
in poetry. In some books that he
was going over in search of good
words and phrases he came across
the word "rustle." He thought
about the use of the word in par
ticular places, and after concen-
trating on the word for some time,
it began to turn itself around in his
mind until it gave him other words
having the same letters. Can you
think of three good words which
are composed of the same letters as
