A few months ago. jeff
himself had been feeling that
he had the world pretty much
where he wanted II. 1t wasn't
so bad, being foreman of the
Hemming ranch before he
was IS. being rodeo champion
of Silver Creek County. and
last, but far from least, being
in love with the sweetest and
prettieSt boss daughter who
ever graced a Western range.
The fact that Babs Hem
ming was not yet in love with
him had been immaterial at
the moment. because he had
had every intention of making
her fall in love.
WEEDS RODEo STAR
Before the dreams could
materialize, however, fate
had stepped in at the Spring
Rodeo and turned Jeff's world
upside down.
Babs' father. after six years
of being a widower. had sue
cumbed to the dangers of the
dangerous age, and married
TriXie Katon, star of the
Northwestern Rodeo Circuit.
Trixie was about five years
older than BabS. had been
married twice. and was as
hard and calculating as they
corrS
But Fletcher Hemming had
not seen any of that. He
had seen only the''spun gold
hair. the enormous blue eyes
bravely winking back the
tears under her long dark
laShes as she told him of the
diSilluSionS that had marred
her youth. of her longing for
the security of a home, and
for the happiness of loving a
strong man who would pro-
tect her always.
1t was all over before any
one but Trixie realized what
was happening. Babs and
jeff had been engrossed in
pulling in their own prizes at
the rodeo, and it is doubtful
if Fletcher Hemming himself
suspected that the whirlwind
emotion of those Spring days
was sweeping him to matri-
mony.
