CHAPTER VI

Ellen drew up on the bluff at
die edge of Johnson's Prong. A
windmill on Sheriff Nate Harris
place, near the upper end of the
valley, caught the suns rays and
photographed them to her.
Her glance picked up a puff of
smoke, and a fraction of a second
later there came the sound of shot.
She dipped down into the Canyon,
following the steep trail winding
among the boulders. It was a rough
descent, one not used often. Ellen
had come this way because the can
yon route to town was a prettier one
than the dusty wagon road usually
taken.
She swung around a great boulder
and came face to face with a man.
Both of them pulled up, taken COM
pletely by surprise. He was a lean,
bronzed man, broad of shoulder,
strongly built. A vague memory
stirred In her. She must have known
him when she lived here before GO
ing 10 school.
''Geod morning" he said. did
you meet anybody as you came
down the canyon?"
NO. she told him.
Are you headed for Round Top?"
he said.
YES"
Don't CO." he replied CURLY.

CHAPTER VII

Excitement ran like prairie fire
through the Buck River country.
The heat of it converged on Cal
houn Terry. He had reported find
ing the body of Tetlow, after having
been seen by two men an hour or
so after the killing not far from the
upper end of Box Canyon. When
seen, he had a Winchester rife in
a scabbard tied to the side of his
saddle.
The sheriff's posse had followed
the trail of a horseman from the
body to the lower mouth of the cam
yon. Here he had been joined by
another rider.
Sheriff Hart rode up to the Dia-
mond Reverse B to ask Terry to
explain his movements. His broth
er Lee had suggested a posse, on
which jeff Brand and Jack Turley
had offered to serve, big enough to
capture the foreman of the ranch
unless his men offered organized re-
sistance. But Nate Hart decided
against this.

which to convict hin-nothing like
enough" he said. mo sense in 60
ing off half-cocked.
You'd better let me and some Of
the other boys go along" Lee in
sisted.
The sheriff's eyes drifted little
scornfully over his heavy-set, bow
legged brother. "I'm going for busi-
ness, not war. If took you along.
Lee, it would be like waving red
rag at Cal"
The sheriff found Terry looking
over the ranch accounts.
Hart was In his early thirties, big
and rangy and vigorous. The gen.
eral opinion was that he was by all
odds the best of the Hart brothers.
1--WE heard a lot of talk, Terry"
he said. Thought I'd better ride
up and find out what you have to
tell me-"
"You mean about your brother
shooting at me from the Red Tri-
angle" Terry said, on the theory
that a swift attack may be the best
defense.
Don't believe all you hear. My
brother didn't shoot at you"
81 must have imagined the holes
in my hat" Calhoun said.
The sheriff did not pursue that
line any further. What I want to
talk about is the Tetlow killing. You
were the first to reach the body.
We're you In time to see the Killer"
''No. I heard the shot. He was
gone when I found the body"
What were you doing down on
the North Fork at that timer"
81 was on my way back from Jim
Creek, where I had been to see the
station agent about wiring for some
cars I needed to make shipment. "
I'VE found two sets Of tracks, both
very recent You didn't happen to
see anybody else?"
ST met two men on the mesa
above"
''But nobody In the canyon?"
mo. Isn't it possible that tho
second set of tracks could have been
made by the killer while he was
escaping? He may have passed up
the canyon before or after me-"
Eyes, it may have been that way.
But the tracks show that the two
rode side by side for ways after
they reached the prong"
Mot necessarily. The tracks may
have been made at the same time"
the foreman suggested.

pleasure through him. He looked at
her.
Some of your friends might not
say so" he answered dryly.
Turning the head of her mount,
Ellen began the climb. He fell In
behind her. Neither of the riders
spoke.
When they came out on the top Of
Johnson's Prong the man moved for
ward and rode beside Ellen. He
looked across the North Fork VAL
ley, the creek winding through it
ribbon of silver, to the forests
marching up the huddled hills to the
blurred horizons edge. A snatch of
Heber's missionary hymn jumped
again to his mind. He laughed sar-
donically.
The girl looked at him. "You are
amused?"
He quoted the verse:
81. every prospect pleases
and only man is vile"
Her eyes, judging him indignant
ly, refused to join his mockery. st

fork in the road just ahead. That's
so. You can go back to your nice

She did not speak for a moment,
and when she did it was to repudiate
Hart. He isn't really my cousin.
Only distant relative by marriage.
I haven't spoken to him five times In
my life"
They had come to the trail fork.
The path to the left led to Black
Butte, the other eventually to the
Diamond Reverse B.
For days EIen's mind was full of
this adventure and the man who had
shared it with her. He had not

Then, as her glance fell on the
rifle in its scabbard beside the sad
die, there jumped to her mind a
horrid thought. He might have done
it himself. Why was he carrying a
rifle in country where the almost

what are you going to do with

''I'n notify his friends where to
find it,
ST could tell the coroner while I'm
in town"
He shook his head. Better not
go to town this way, Miss Carey.
The killer may still be down there
in the flats somewhere.
Ellen looked at him, startled.

required it. Maybe not then. But
he might fire from the brush before
he realized you aren't a man."
''You mean, thinking I might be q

Their eyes met and held, search
ing for what lay beneath the sur
face. Into Ellen's consciousness
there beat an assurance that this
man was no assassin. He was stiff
and very likely wrong-headed. But
to look at that lean, strengthened
face, clean-cut and forceful, was as
surance of some fundamental de-

CHAPTER V

Among the rolling hills to the
north of the Diamond Reverse B
lay the empire of the Bartlett Land
& Cattle Company, Familiarity known
as No, By Joe. II stretched over
hundreds of thousands of acres Of
grazing land, over which roamed
great numbers of cattle bearing the
B brand.
The manager, Clint Ellison, rode
in from watching beef cut to hold
a conference in his Office with i'm
portant guests who were just ar
irving.
He brought glasses and a bottle
of whiskey from the cabinet, a pitch
er of water from a tray on a side
board.
Help yourselves, gentlemen" he
invited.
John McFaddin, Joint owner with
his brother of the Flying V c, very
large ranch far up on Elk Creek,
poured whiskey into a glass and
drank it neat, after a perfunctory

McFa ddin thrust into words the
thought that was in his mind, that
had been present with all of them for
some days. $50 an accident hap

Ellison passed a box of good CT

expression whatever in his steely

son unknown"
SIanting a grin at Ellison, the
plump, red-faced mamie was Tod
Collins, manager and part owner of
the Antelope Creek Ranch-offered
a chuCkling suggestion. Have to
call him Mr.. <, reckon, like they
do IN these detective stories"
Ellison looked long time at his
cigar tip. Like the rest of you, I've
been milling this over night and day,
gentlemen. We represent four out of
the five biggest ranches in this part
of the territory. I didn't ask Cal
Terry to join US today because he
isn't IN quite the same position as
we are. A few years ago he was a
little cattleman himself, and though
his old friends hate him like poison
now, he may still have scruples
against what have IN mind. Later
Wen have to take him in, but we
might as well make our plans first.
If we're going to protect our prop
critics from wholesale thieving we
must wipe the ruStlers out enmasse.
Tod Collins grinned. 1.-THE Ante
lope Creek rides to war with the
rest of you. Cut loose with what's
on your mind, Clint"
From his pocket Collins drew a
wallet and counted out one hundred
and twenty-five dollars in bills. He
put the money on the desk. "Now's
a good time to settle that election
bet we made with Clint, boys" he
said.
The managers of the Flying V c
and the Two Star ranches each put
the same amount on the desk. Eli
son gathered it up and put the wad-
ded bills In his pocket.
He leaned forward and in a low
voice began to outline the plan he
had IN mind.

Those whose shoulders were dust

Heartbeats often actually slowed
down, particularly when no one

But when they were busted UNI
expectedly they tended to react
with extreme emotion Heartbeats
and breathing speeded up.
