Adelaide awakened her to bring
her sitting upright in bed.
"Rusty-Ive just been talking
to your mother on the phone.
Your Uncle Jed has been shot.
One of the ranch hands is bring
ing him into the city to the hos
pital. I've called a cab to take
you there"
"Is-is Herb" Rusty faltered.
I'm sorry, child-he's out on
a case"
Rusty, with Hank beside her,
sat at the end of a hospital cor
ridor and waited anxiously for
a report on Uncle Jed's condi-
ton.
She had been at the emergency
entrance when he was brought
in. She had had only a glimpse
of his white, unconscious face.
Then, he had been whisked away.
Now, she sat waiting with
Hank, who had brought him from
the ranch

said. "Was it a raid?"

For no apparent reason, Rusty
began to laugh.

She couldn't tell him what

and looked at her. II know, but
having you here though I haven't
had time to see much of you, has
meant-well, it has meant quite
quite lot to me" he floun-
dered.
Rusty saw again that look in his
eyes, and her heart was beating
like trip-hammer.
Then, Adelaide came in to tell
him he was wanted on the phone
in the house-and the spell was
broken. Immediately, his man.
Sper became businesslike again.
"Adelaide," he said. as he turn
ed to answer the telephone, "our
assistant is leaving us tomor-

"Oh, I'm sorry! Must you 60,
Rusty?"

thought of that floundering little
speech that Herb had made. Had
it meant anything?

to her room. her heart was sing

She knew Herb was right-that
it would be perfectly safe to let

Yet she turned away quickly to
hide the flush on her cheeks.
''I'm sorry" he said. "But lis

why 1 don't like your being here.

this place. I've heard rumors at

But never mind-forget it. It's
just that I've been singing out
by the association to run down
certain things.
He left soon after that and,
when he was gone, Rusty sat for
la long time considering what he
had said. She couldn't believe
that there was any truth in his
implications, and yet his words
left her disturbed She'd de-
cided finally that perhaps she'd
better go home, after all. She'd
leave tomorrow,
Then, she thought of his out
burst about Westmore making
love to her and, again, a flush
came to her cheeks. Her retort
had been sincere but, neverthe-
less, she realized that there had
been times when she had caught
the doctor looking at her in a
way that had made her heart
| pound. Could it be that she had
been lingering on here because
SHE was falling in love with
HIM? But no-that was ridicu-
lous!
That evening, after dinner,
Rusty wandered over to the hos
pital to find Westmore working
over a dog and muttering to him
self.
IF only pet owners would use
a little sense!" he complained.
Look at this leg, inflamed to the

the dog in at once, it could have
been removed. But no-some

a profession OF it.
Rusty sat silent, considering the
possibility of asking Doctor West
more to act as her surveyor on
the trip into Low Valley. Ralph
had written her to be careful
whom she chose. But surely,
Herb could be trusted not to tell
any one of her project.
In the end, she told Adelaide
about it and about the Importance
of keeping it secret, so that the
rustlers would not learn OF the
new pasturage for her yearllngs'
IF I could induce Doctor west

eagerly, lit would be wonderful;
It would solve my problem, and
though it wouldn't exactly be a
vacation for him, it would get him
outdoors and give him a change:
He and Uncle Jed and Hank and
1 could make the trip, leaving
Piney to handle the ranch. "
Then, the light died from her
eyes. "But 1 suppose we couldn't
persuade him to take the time
off. We'd be away for at least
two weeks"
Adelaide was staring into space,
a speculative expression on her
face.
eff were to tell him that his
work was suffering because he
was nervous" she murmured,
1--WE might-well, We'll see. Let
me talk to him.
The next morning, Doctor West
more conducted his first class in
elemental veterinary training for
the cattlemen of the surrounding
ranches. The first week was de-
voted to lectures. The next week,
the group made the rounds of the
nearby ranches, first watching
the doctor give simultaneous in
iections to cattle, then giving
them themselves under his watch
full eye.
That completed the short course
but, after the rest of the class had
been dismissed, Rusty decided to
stay on at the Westmore place for
while longer, for there was
more that she wanted to learn.
Then, one day, while the doctor
was out, Decker came to see her.
He wanted to know when she was
coming home.
"You said you were coming
here for only a week." he said.

THE principal weakness of the

THE principal weakness OF the
l. American political structure
is that actually no adequate
continuity has been arranged
for the presidency.
II is true that constitution
ally, the vice president becomes
president, but the vice president
never has the opportunity 10
share the responsibilities or the
knowledge of the president
whom he may succeed.
Certainly Mr.. Truman was
never Mr.. Roosevelt's confidant;
he was never his associate, his
partner in government. In that
respect, his relationships were
less fortunate than those OF Mr..
Garner or Mr.. Wallace.
VET, Mr.. Truman is csta-
pulled by death into the
presidency at a moment as diff
ficult. as troublous as that
which sent Andrew johnson 10
the White House.
Certainly every American OF
whatever political party will
wish Mr.. Truman we'll and will
aid him in every possible way
in the conduct of this nations
affairs.
The skeins OF all the world
and the affairs of so nations
were in the hands Of his prede-
cessor; it will be a task TO
transfer them TO the hands of
the new president.
This. then, is the correct time
to study the method of success
sion.
For many years reports and
rumors were recurrent OF Mr..
Roosevelt's ill-health. His pho
tographs indicated illness Of a
serious nature.
Prior to the Chicago conven-
ton, leaders Of his own party
displayed deep concern over his
prospects.
Just before the election, he
displayed physical courage that
dispelled all criticism Of a sick
man running for the presidency.
II is now obvious that he ac-
tually had been a very sick man
for A prolonged period and that
he CALAMITY fought of his
maladies.
