Tt ain't a very square deal all around.” “I would take wour yord if you ghook on it,” replied Rock. “Wal, I guess I'll take yours.” “All right, Peeples. We're geot- tin’ somewhere,’ ’said Rock, more heartily, It always warmed him to be taken seriously when he was in earnest. “T'll give you my word, confidentially. I'm not sweet on Amy Dabb. Only want to help her, before it's too late. And more, T am darn good and awful sweel on_some other girl” “Much obliged for your confi- dence,” responded Peeples. “I'll ask Amy's pardon.” “We can shake on that, anyway.' “Now, Peéeples, tell me why you were lookin’ for me?” “Easerie'n your other cracks,” re- SUNSET PASS by Zane Grey plied Peeples, laconically. “I kept earin’ aboot you 1 the range. lately come back an to Preston. n’' I reckon I r e for my Rock, do you K one of m queer range shadows is creepin’ over the P tons?” so,' ‘replied at it's two years and e Pre! made his young- r sons do any of the butchéring say!” hell you ejaculated your con- jon with Preston.

Ash Preston was in town, |hiding. Al had confided this bit of dismaying news. He had discov- ered it quite by accident, through a Mexican, and believed that Asb had ridden in under cover of night. The Mexican had said that Ash was not drinking. This was even more disturbing than the fact of| his presence. Rock had cautioned Al nct to tell Thiry. It was: pos- sible Ash would not recognize Thiry in her masquerade, and she wuuldI have some hours of pleasure, at| least till she unmasked. But what| was he up to? Last night the Catile- h men’s -Association had met, and thotigh the conference was not “supp{)n?dly secret, they had most | certainly locked the doors on many | ranchers. | Thiry haa been upset Dabb, had been | doubtful, full of scorn—and, yes, jealous! If Thiry had secretly or |even unconsciously been tenderly stirred by her fathers’ avowal of ock’s love, that would account for her reaction to Amy and to him. Darkness had long set in when |he left the hotel." Rock tried his disguise, voice as well as suit and |mask, upon the clerk, Clarke the proprietor, and the porter. They |had not recognized him; wherefor |he headed toward the town hall, reading on air. | Rock ran the gauntlet of merry jests, 1o the entrance at the main | corridor of the hall, Inside the door as a gate, guarded by men, one {of whom was the town sheriff, very | important and pompous. Two plac- |ards struck Rock's eye. One read: No Admittance to Anyone not in Masquerade. And the other sign, | larger, read: Check your Hardware and Boftle. | “Howdy, gambler!” greeted the | sheriff. “Scuse me while I search you. Mrs, Dabb's orders.” His second slap at Rock located by Amy rendered angry, Thet | up with you | | Natural if doesn‘t—if it clouds up black—youre shora in' to get rained on, cowboy said Peeg significance My he younger | boys twins and Al.
