one of the Mill City boys at camp
tells that the good time and adven-
ture they were having at the camp
has turned into grim reality. {.
About a month ago Ted Allen was
distributing 1912 calendars, and by
this time about half the popula-
ton in the Twin Cities has one of
these attractive calendars in their
homes. The names of John
Hickman and William Hanna were
omitted from the committee of
the beautifully appointed formal
dinner party given by the D. Y. w.

Now one Of the dance hall girls
came to his table, slipping unlimited
into chair. This was a girl whose
attention bothered and embarrassed
Roper every time he came here.
Her name was Marquita.
He didn't know what attracted her
to him; he didn't know what attract
ed any particular woman to any
particular man. It may be that his
very disinterest was what caught
her attention first, and later gave
him the desirability Of the unobtain-
able.
She spoke to him now in a quiet,
lfeless voice. why don't you like
me?"
II like you all right" he said.
mo, you don't. You don't even
see me at ALL"
He noticed now that she looked
different tonight; and after a mo-
ment he recognized that this was
because there was no paint on her
face. That would be because he dis
liked paint-though he had no idea
how she had found that out. Her
washed face was q perfectly SYM
metrieal oval set with black eyes a
little slanted, and her black hair,
parted in the middle, was drawn
back severely, in the fashion of the
mestizo girls Of the Texas border.
She leaned toward him now, and
spoke rapidly, her voice low and
compelling. ''Listen-I hate Walk
Lasham, too"
Listen" she insisted. "You have
to listen to me. Walk Lasham's in
town. He came in this afternoon"
So, Roper thought, the time had
come to move on again, with his
work undone. He didn't like it.
much.
We'll, thanks" he said; "1'm glad
to know"

you're here for"

Roper shrugged and was silent.

the men available to his purpose

Marvel, confident that her erring

He failed to do so, however. At
six o'clock, when dinner was ready,
Richard still was missing. His moth

They investigated the lighthouses

CHAPTER XIII

Bill Roper sat alone at a rear ia
BILE in the Palace Bar, in Miles City
the young, turbulent center Of q
vast, raw range, the possibilities OF
which were still unknown.
For three months Roper had rid
den through the bitter Montana win
ter. 1t had been no trouble for him
to sweep together a dozen malcon-
tent cowboys who hated Lasham or
Thorpe, or both. Already they knew
Bill Roper's name.
Against their common enemy
these youngsters could be led, wild,
reckless and crazy for raid; and
Roper had led them as Texas had
taught him.
His new northern wild bunch faced
conditions in many ways bitterly ad-
verse. Here in the north were no
ousted cattlemen, no established
population to which he could look for
help. The Canadian border was far
away, and no market awaited the
hard-pushed herds on the other side.
What Montana had that Texas did
not have was a concentration of In
dian tribes, principally Sioux and
Cheyenne, deprived of their hunting
grounds, and dependent for food
upon beef which the government
was pledged to supply. 1t was to
this circumstance that Roper had
turned.
The giant beef contracts which the
government threw upon the market
had inevitably attracted more than
one kind of graft. The result was
famine-pitiful. relentless. Starva-
ton stalked through the lodges of
the Sioux, the Cheyenne, the Crow
and with it, Roper's opportunity.
Securing the country, Roper
turned up four Indian agents who
were already badly scared. They
had overplayed their hands, and
were now faced with loss of life
among their charges about which
they could do nothing without re-
vealing their own corrupt inefticien-
CIV, These men had connived with
Lasham in bringing about a condi-
ton of tribal starvation; they were
willing to connive with Bill Roper
to cover up their position in any
way they could.
BY delivering beef to the reserva-
tions under these highly irregular
conditions, Roper's wild bunch could
little more than make expenses. But
the advantage was this-a beef herd
delivered to an Indian tribe disap-
peared over night, leaving little
trace, A thousand hands skinned
out the beef, destroying the portions
of the hides containing the brands.
Constantly changing horses. per-
netually in the saddle, Roper's sad
die hawks swung across Montana.
They first struck at Muddy Bend,
picking up four hundred head Of
<teers in the breaks Of the Yellow
.tone. Three days hard driving de-

hoine. Only four days Later they
