He was wringing wet with cold sweat and quivering in all his muscles. A knot of fire within seemed to be Ibosening. His mouth was dry, his tongue thick. “My God!

Her grief tortured Rock, but he did'mot have it in him to retract his words. What language could do justice to Ash Preston! They hurried on. Presently they reached Winter’s house.

Preston Pass for did a return of after th» ek rider that Preston was hunting for | the Mexican who had beaten him | at a dance. It was an anxious and brooding time for Truéman Rock until Ash returned, sober yet showing the ef- fects of a prolonged debauch. One moment Rock stood on the porch, | his hand quivering while Ash| strode over from his cabin. Sullen his face black and blue, still swollen, he presented no encourag- ing aspect. But manifestly that moment proved he did not know of suspéct that Rock hadbeen asshilant. Then the suspense of this meeting for Rock ended when Thiry almost faintéd in his arms. “Aw, Thiry, T'm sorry, rasped out Ash. Tears were streaming down his bruised cheeks. “T was drunk thet nighi. .. .I'll never go to town no more.” This had happened in the middle of the afternoon, upon Ash's arrival home. Gage Preston was absent. It was Rock's opinion that Clage did not care to be present when Ash met Thiry and Rock. Supper that night no longer seemed some- thing like a funeral feast. Gage Preston came in late, ahd his gruf heartiness, his steely glance, em- bracing Ash and Thiry and Rock, were strangely at variance. Rock @id not tarry with the family. He carried away with him a look from Thiry's eyes—the first in which he .... met her sincethat unforgettable last montent on Sol Winter's porch—and it drove him to pace under the pines. He paced a beat from the open back to the gloom of the thick- spreading trees. On the soft mats of pine needles his feet made no sound; against the black shadow of the slope his figure could not be seen. But his own sharp eye caught a dark form crosing in front of a cabin light. He heard a voice low but clear—Gage Pres- ton's: “Ash, come hyar.” Then two dark forms made black upright bars, to oblitérate the fight. then passed on. Rock watched, crouching to peér through the gloom.. Siently he sank behind the log by which he had crouched, immensely glad that it lay betwe:) | im and the appréaching man. “What you wamt?” gowled Ash “Not so loud, ‘you — — =~ 1" replied Preston, .in Jow. harsh tones, “I want to talk. “Wal, I ain't in o humor.” *Sit' down 'there,” ordered Pres- ton, . with heavy contact of han: upon his son's person.
