_ SYNOPSIS: An tncmy appears In Trueman Rock’s first moment at Suncot Pass, whore he takes a position with Gage Precton. Pres- ton’s son Ash invites him to leave. Despite Ash's unpleas- antness, Rock stays because of Bis love for Thiry Preston, Gage's daughter, and because he sus- pects Gage Preston of cattle rustling. Chapter 21 QUICKLIME “Jt was just daylici when I got down here,” went on Harry. “Range and Scoot were just ridin’ off. Ash had your horse and saddle. Pa was cussin’' Ash awful. Reckon they'd been arguin’, ‘cause Pa néver cusses till he's wore out. “Well, when he got done Ash says, Pa, how'd you like to go to Dell?” Then he forks your horse and rides after the boys. Pa 'peared to be chokin’ mad. All of a sudden he busted out laughin’ He climbed up on the wagon with Boots and they left.” Rock for the moment succumbed to a silent fury. But seeing the gray-eyed brothers watching him euriously, keen fo catch how he would take this firsl move of Ash's, he thought he had better explode maturally end wholesomely, as might any cowboy. e e e —— —I" he yelled, lustily. “He took my new white horse! And my saddle that I wouldn't lend to the Kingof Eng- jand! .. Never had that happen to me. Doggone!—Boys, was it sup- posed to be a joke?” “Joke nothin’. Ash was just mean like he always is when we get a new rider. But reckon you'll have to take it as a joke.” «Huh! 1 will—like the old lady who keeps tavern out West!” re- plied Rock, with a short jaugh. “How's that /Boss?” inquired Al, hugely delighted. “Like h- ,» answered Rock. “Boys, T reckon I'm the maddest eowpuncher that ever was. I think Tl get a horse and saddle from you, and go after my own.” “If you take my advice you'll swallow it — leastways till comes back. Chances are he won't do Egypt no hatm. If you follow| Ash now, mad as you are, there'll only be another fight.” “Take it as a joke, Or better be pice about it,” added Harry. “That always stumps Ash. If he can't make you mad he let's up—for a while, anyway.” “Thanks, boys. I'll think it over,” rejoined Rock, grateful for their solicitude: “But Ireckon the good Gord himself couldn't keép my mouth shut—after that.” “Let’s get to work, ‘suggested Harry. “We're late. And Ash aint the only one Pa can cuss.” While Rock and Al greased the wagon wheels, Harry hitched up, be and by the time this task was done Tom rode in, ading a horse, It was & bay that Bock’s eye, and whith would have| made up for the 108 of ‘most any horse, except one like Egypt. | “Where's Ash's saddle?” he asked. “It's hangin' there,” replied Al “But, gee! you won't ride his, will you?" “Tll be darned if I won't,” re- turned Rock, with & grim humor. “Come down the road by the the right hand road. You can't miss the slaughter house, for the stink will knock you down.” After the boys left, Rock pro- oeeded to put Ash's saddle and on the bay horse, but he in any hufry. This first f Ash Preston’s rankled in “Wonder what Thiry will he soliloquized. “She must seen Ash on my horse. That's her. . . Damn him!— one of those people angels weep.

Presently Rock was left alone The boys were so guileless that knew he could pursue his suspic- jons almost before thelr backs were turned. They surely were at honest boys as any one could find He took out the piecé df quick- lime. It did not appear to be very old. He looked around where he had found it to see if there wat more. After diligent search he dis- covered a smaller piece. Quicklime in any quantity there might be used to deaden the stench of de- with a rifle | caying offal, blood, and bones Rock searched all the cabins, shed: bins, without finding any {None had ever been used upon the horrible pile that had accumu- lated in the hollow below the slaughter-house. “Reckon no little piece of quick- lime could get down here of its owr accord,” muttered Rock, deliberat- ing. “It sure never flew. It must 2 been fetched here with more tha same. What for?” had no other answer ‘than the t he had conjectured. Manifestiy the Preston’s left the entrails anc skeletons of their cattle there o the ground to rot. No need to wast valuable time destroying what the elements, the dogs, coyotes, anc hogs would soon do away with But they might have left some- thing here that they wanted t destroy quickly. Hides! Cow hide they cobuld not sell because thesc did mot bear their brands! All of a sudden, into Rock searching mind there flashed mem- of Ash(ory of a deep well he had once }helped to dig on these premises. T had been a job, he rebelled, tha every one of the half dozen cow- boys had rebelled at, ahd hac scornfully told Slagle was labn wastéd. They had to go so deey that it was necessary to enlarge the hole. But they never struck water, and at eighty feet abandon- ed the effort. Since that time brush had growr heavily all around the rancl located the well. The edges hac weathered, widening the mouth. H¢ was about to crash his way through ithe bushes, when his caution urged him not to leave a trail. Carefully réfraced his steps, Worked around into a narrow path, ir 1which he saw boot tracks. Reaching the well, Rock peered down. He saw only the gravel sides and the black hole. He drapped ¢ stone into it. No sound! He thought ithat strange. Selecting a larger onc he leaned over and let it fall. The hole certanly was deep. A low sof' thud, barely distinguishable, came to. his taut ears. “By gum!” he ejaculated. “That well had a rock bottom... Wt had to quit diggin’ because of rock. Son-of-a-gun if this ain't gettin hot.” What does Rock discover in the well, tomorrow? ¥t gives him a sudden chill. COUGHS Don't let them get a strangle hold. Fight germs quickly.
