'T1l fly in and send that car out, the sheriff
said.

YOU"
'Just give me time enough to throw sad
die on a horse" Doxey said. "Kane might
want to ride out and look the ranch over Yuh
won't mind, Sheriff."
MAKE it snappy," the sheriff said.
Buck Doxey went to the barn and after
few minutes returned leading dilapidated-
looking range pony saddled and bridled. He
casually dropped the reins in front of the
ranch ''office," and called inside:

The propeller of the plane gave half-turn,
stopped gave another half-turn, the motor
sputtered, then roared into action. A moment
later the plane became the focal point of
trailing dust cloud, then raised and swept over
the squat log buildings in climbing turn and
headed south.
Jane NARROW and Kane watched it through
the window until it became but speck
Howard Kane said, Nov, MIR. Findlay,
I'd like to ask you few questions"
"Sure, 60 right ahead"
"You impressed the sheriff very cleverly,"
Kane said, ''but Id like to have you ex-'

blazed Indignantly. you've let him.
kANE motioned her to silence. Don't you

sheriff. He represents the law, right or wrong.
But if this man is an impostor, can protect
you against him.
Fmdlay's hand moved with such rapidity
that the big diamond made streak of glitter
ing light
''Okay, wise guy, he said. TRY protecting
her against this
Kane rushed the gun.
Evening star., 1952-05-18

Sheer surprise slowed Findlay's reaction
time. Kane's fist flashed out in swift arc,
just before the gun roared.
The fat man moved with amazing speed.
He rolled with the punch, spun completely
around on his heel and jumped back, the auto
matte held to his body, his eyes glittering with
rage
Get EN- up, he said
HE cold animosity of his tone showed that

Slowly Kane's hands came up.
Turn around, Findlay said Move over

Now the left hand"
A smooth leather thong, which had been
deity knotted into slipknot, was jerked
tight, then knotted into quick half hitch.
The girl, taking advantage of Findlay's pre-
occupation, flung herself on him.
The bulk of Findlay's big shoulders
absorbed the onslaught without making him
even shift the position of his feet. He jerked
the leather thong into last knot, turned and
struck the girl in the pit of the stomach.

why not?" the sheriff said, smiling good
naturedly He'd be hell of an FBI man if
he didn't know his own telephone number"
The fat man fished cigar from his pocket.
Biting off the end and scraping match into
fame, he winked at the sheriff.
Howard Kane said to Findlay, Mind if

Hell, no. Go right ahead"
"I'd like to know something of the facts in
the case. If you've been working on the case
you'd know"
'SURE thing" Findlay agreed, getting his
cigar burning evenly. "She worked for Hard
wick, who was having an affair with model.
She followed him to the models apartment.
They had quarrel. Hardwick's supposed to
have jumped out of the window. She went to
the office and took five thousand dollars out

Findlay said, "Yeah. The key we found in

The sheriff laughed.
Howard Kane glanced speculatively at the
angry young woman. "She doesn't look like

''Oh, thank you" she blazed.
Findlay's glance was patronizing. "How

A small ranch house of cindeI

The Tankersleys will use it as al
overnight house and for the en-
Itertainment of visiting cattle
buyers. Workmen were stringine

poles.
You don't see many f1ve-stranc
fences in this part of the coun-
try" Mr.. Tankersley pointed out
It looked like a fence that woule
contain the cattle. 1t was being
built on contract.
Before mounting, the Tankers-
Ileys showed the two Santa Ger
trudis bulls and the heifers. Mrs
Tankersley walked into the muddy
pen containing the two huge ami
mails, which are not too docile
and clambered onto the high
fence, for picture taking. The
heifers, while not fully grown
were as big as most Hereford
bulls.
In another pen, Mr.. Tankersley
picked up a Hereford calf to
have his picture taken, but he
first asked if the mother COW
would 60 after him.
"FIe seems to have survival in

"He's acquiring it from expert

If there is anything Mrs. Tan

herd to cattle. Her favorite sport
is cutting cattle. This is a func-
tional operation on the range.
The cowboy cuts an animal from
the herd for branding, shipment,
doctoring, etc. It has become a
competitive sport at ranch shows,
and at her Peru Qll.) place, she
used to cut a herd of calves until
they became too used to it-too
tame-to suit her. Then she would
replace them with another herd
fresh from the pastures.
