: why subject the bank to that annoy
ance and expense? The bank Wi
accept, of course, and sign a re
ceipt and agreement freeing tn
Burdans from deficiency judg
ment."
"Then you will pay off the loar
on the home ranch, Len?"
mot if I can help it. I'll neec
my capital for another purpose, Sc
I'll have to high-pressure the bank
into carrying me for it. I'll remind
them that they have about three
thousand head of cattle eating my
grass and l wish them removed i'm.
mediately, in order that I may stock
my range with cattle of quality. They
will investigate and discover that
the Burdans have assigned their
state lease to me and that I have
paid the defau1ted rental before the
lease could legally be cancelled. That
news will throw chill into them"
''Why?"
Because they'll have to spend a
couple of thousand dollars to round
up the cattle. They'll have to hire
it done-and the loan is sour enough
without adding more vinegar. Then
they'll have to sell the cattle to
packing plant because nobody will
wish to buy them for breeding stock;
the local buyers will know the bank
has bear by the tail and the re-
suit will be murder most foul"
But would your action be quite
ethical, Len?"
Absolutely. In the world of busi-
ness one must protect himself in the
clinches and breakaways and the
bank should have protected itself
by securing an option, at a reason
able price, on the Burdan state land
leases, as additional security. By
exercising the option when foreclo-
sure on the cattle could no longer
be delayed they would have protect
ed themselves from the rabbit punch
I plan to give them. And the lease
would have been readily salable aft
er the option had served its pur-
pose.
Ham Henley, viewing the parade
from the front window of his office
on the second floor of the Henley
building, with Mrs. Maxwell as his |
guest, saw Mary ride by with his
son. Both Lens mounts were high |
school horses and he had taught
Mary the trick of putting her mount
through his act. They rode at the
head of the parade now some fifty
feet in advance of it and an equal
distance behind band that played
Alexander Rag Time Band" And
the horses were cake-walking.
81 reckon there's some peacock
blood in my son." Ham Henley said.
HE certainly loves to show off. The
cheers O. the mob mean more to
him than the cheers of his pappy."
HAS he ever heard any of pap
py's cheers?" Margaret asked inno-
Gently, and he did not answer. His
sultry glance was on Mary Suther-
land. isn't that girl lovely, Ham?"
his guest went on. "She can ride,
.oo."
81 got a plan in mind to bust
hat deal up, in case it's incubatin',
Margaret. can acquire the Wagon
Wheel ranch for song an sing the
song myself, Len likes that spread.
Hes wintered with the Burdans the
oast five years an knows it thor
,ughly. I'm not goin' to ask him
again to join up with me, but if he'll
agree not to marry that dude Wom-
IN I'll buy the Wagon Wheel ranch
or him. I'll clean out all of the low
Iuality cattle on it now and stock it
With the best. I'll give him a good
aballado an sufficient operatin'
apital an my blessin'. He'll be on
is own then-somethin' he always
wanted to be, an we can get to- !
ether socially, anyhow. After all |
can still hire good men to shoul- r
er my worries"
Margaret Maxwell burst out at v
i'm. For heavens sake, Ham, will Q
ou ever learn to mind your own O
usiness insofar as your son is con- a
erned? He'll make no such trade O
18th you and you shouldn't have to S
e told that. You can't give him v
nything because you alienated him b
/ the beginning by threatening not c
, give him anything unless he took d"
rogram from you. You used the e
lirt on thoroughbred, Ham. Don't C
} it again. If you want to set him v
. in business, get the Wagon Wheel
the shape you know he'd like to n
ave it and then say: It's yours
m, if you'll take it because vorr d
d man loves you, and the accent. II
ice doesn't even entail an obliga- i
IN on your part to love your old P

''he'd ought to know he's all I fe
