THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1932.- : SUNSET PASS by Zane Grey SYNOPSIS: Although Thiry Preston will not admit that she knows her father and brother,’ Ash, are cattle thieves, Trueman Rock knows that her knowledge prevents her from loving him froely. He tries to force her ad- mitsion, hoping to work with her in stopping the rustling. Ash promisss a difficult struggle. Chapter 41 CATTLE THIEVES And you understand,” he replied, sharply. “I—I do not.” “Thiry darling, I can forgive your falsehood to all except me.” “What!" che cried, prideand fear in one gasp. It did not take much of a pull to get her into his arms, and in another moment he had her help- Jess, lifting her from the ground, her face close to his. “Yes, “Thiry, don't you love me a very | lttle?” he asked, deep tenderness thrilling his . voice. o' . . .. Oh, let me go!” she ored. “Be honest.” .1 can’t be ... I'm such a liar.” Sphiry, T love you so wonderfully. Ever since that minute you stepped in ‘Winter's store. .. Didn'%t you like me then—or afterward?” “I suppose I did. But what's the use to talk of it. . . You're holding me in a—a—most shameless man- ner. . . . Let me go." “Reckon I'll hold you tnis way a jong time. . . Till you say you love me a little.” She essayed to free herself, but her strength fell far short of her spirit. “Then you'll hold me until day- light—when Ash will see you.” “Well, say a little short of day- light. Reckon I can get along with that for a while.” “Oh,—please—please! . . . man, this is outrageous.” “It sure is. ‘Most as outrageous as your deceiving me.” “How have I deceived you?” she demanded, vibrating at that. “For one ithing—ecarin’ about me she said, in mockery. “ggre about you? I suppose I—I did— else T couldn't have been such a fool as to go to that dance. But what's caring? .... It certainly ddesn't give you loense to hold me againgt my will.” “iyell, T reckon that depends on what you mean by care. T'm arguin’ you love me 4 little bit. Sure I've enough for it." me pray!

Then she lay in his arms, her face hidden, while he gazed out into tne stormy night, across the black Pass to the dim flares along the battlements of the range. His vic- tory brought happiness and sorrow com-mingled. “Now, Trueman, explain what you meant by my-——falsehood to all?" she asked, presently. “Are you quite prepared?” here- turned, gravely. “Sure it's not easy to rush from joy to trouble.” She sat up, startled, with hands nervously releasing their hold. All about her expressed doubts, mis- givings, but she had no inkling of what he had to reveal. “Thiry, you arve keeping Ash’s nd your fathers’ secret from all.” “Trueman,’ 'she cried, as if her owh mind had decelved her ears. “They are cattle thieves, Beef thieves. So are your brothers | Range, Scoot and Boots, along with |them.” i “O my God!—you know?” she al- imost screamed, and slipped to her knees before him. “Hnsht Not so loud! Youl| wake some one,” he sald, sternly, a firm hand over her “Get up off your knees.” had only leaned forward, him, peering up into his i { €l fao “Trueman, how do—you know?” she gasped, convulsively. “I suspected it when I first came. I found signs. Quicklime! That made me suspicious. Slagel's well is half full of hides. Sure those hides have not the Preston brand. ... Then over near where they butchered last I came on the same boot track that I'd seen down near the slaughterhouse. 1 trailed that ftrack. Tt led under a culvert. There I found hundreds of hides, tied up in burlap sacks. Most were old, but some were new. 1 opened one, That hide had a Half Moon brand! Down here on your barn one day, after the dance, I measured Ash’s boot track. Tt was the same as that one T'd trailed. ..But for real| proof, I heard your Dad and Ash! talkin’ together. One night I hap-| pened to be out, thinkin' of you, watchin’ like tonight. Your father and Ash came out, right to thelog |where T sat, T lay down.... And T heard them talk about this. They {gave it all away.” “Oh, you were & spy, she burs! out, in hot agonized words. “I'm afraid I was” “I knew—it woula come....It will—kill me,” she wailed, brokenly. “Oh, to make love to me—while you were spying on my brother— my father.” “Little girl, T told you to speak low. . . Reckon it .does look pretty bad t0 you. But it's not so bad as it looks—so far as I'm concerfied. But, Thiry, youré in this secret and you would be held guilty in some degree in court, if your part in it was found out. And let me tell you Ash would hold no secret. He would drag even you into it.” “Oh, no! No! No!"” “He would. And there's the dan- ger for you.” 0 Danger? ... My God, you mean they'll be arrested—and 1 will be dragged in with them?” “Reekon that is liable to hap- pen,” he replied, wanting, stern as the task was, to impose upon her once and for all the peril of the situation. “yo'd betray us?” Swift as a striking snake her hand darted out and snatched his gun as it rested against his thigh. Leaning back, he extended it with both hands, “rl kill you." | | | 1 | Thiry is beyond reasoning with fright, and Rock tries shrewd | tactics, Monday. ——————— A. L.

It also seems that a flier of such sterling worth, who was co-pilot on the trans-Atlantic flight of Commander Byrd's plane, America, and later flew with Byrd over the South Pole, ought to be in great demand. Yet here is Bernt, regarded by many experts as one of the finest pilots in the workd, unable to find a job.
