HEN Crooked Bill boarded the train for El Paso he sent the following telegram to Glenn Hacket! “The ship is sunk without & trace, so brace yourself for bad news. Stop. This Higgins boy gave me cards and spades, four aces, big and little casino and beat me to death on the sweeps. Stop. I am mighty sorry you have lost, but far from depressed that he appears to be going to win. Stop. However, we will keep on trying, al- though I have no hope. Stop. I belong in & home for the feeble minded.” At almost the same time Don Jaime joined Ken Hobart in front of the Mansion House. “Any luck” Hobart queried anxiously. “I'm in the sheep business, Ken. To- morrow morning we’ll pay off that gang of murderers Dingle has herding those sheep and put our own men on the job. Dingle gets the raus, too.” “Well, you'll clear a profit, won't you, chief?” “What,” replied Don Jaime mourn- fully, “doth it profit a man if he gain- eth the whole world and suffereth the loss of the lodestar of his existence?” “None whatever,” Ken admitted, with- out knowing in the least what he was talking about. Five miles outside Los Algodones his sharp eyes observed something far ahead and off the side of the road. He called Don Jaime's attention to it. In the starlight a tiny red dot gleamed. “Cigarette—Mexican—careless,” Don Jaime murmured. “Ah, he’s doused it! Getting ready for business.” He reached down into the tonneau and brought up a carbine. Simultaneously Ken Hobart swung the car off the road and went through the low sage in a wide arc. “There may be holes and dry water- courses on this road,” he announced calmly, “but we'll have to take a chance.” He switched off the lights just as a volley of rifie fire broke the stillness of the night. The car was hit twice, but most of the bullets droned overhead. Don Jaime pumped his carbine, firing at the flashes, and the car crashed on. ‘When the magazine was empty he set the rifle back in the tonneau. ‘They reached the hacienda without will be held at the home of Mrs. Luke ‘Wilson, Bethesda, Md.

Don Jaime alighted and entered the patio. Roberta ran swiftly to meet him. “You're safe, Jimmy?” she cried. ‘Reasonably so, Bobby,” he replied. “My information was correct. Dingle's crowd of imported killers laid for us.” He held his hat toward her and ran his fingers through two holes in the crown. “And that bonnet cost me $40,” he grieved, What if he'd aimed “Oh, Jimmy! lower!" “‘Have you been worried, Bobby?" he asked gently. She nodded. “It's been a long time since anybody worried over me, Bobby. What shall I do when you're gone?" “What did you do before I came, Jimmy? And I—I think—Jimmy, I'd better go soon. There’s really nothing more of a business nature for me to at- tend to. There never was, in fact—just a few papers to sign, some sheep to look at—and they're really your worry, not mine.” He shrugged. “Well, suit yourself. But we'll tie a can to Dingle and his men before you go.” He stifled a little yawn. “I'm tired, Bobby. Breakfast at 8 tomorrow morning. Will you join me? Then we can get an early start for the old Antrim ranch and jolt Mr. Dingle out of his complacency.” She nodded and turned away to hide the tears of mortification that were welling in her eves. Why couldn’t he see that she did not want to leave Valle Verde at all>? Why had he not urged her to stay? Of course, he had urged her, but then he had not been perisist- ent in it. If he had persisted she would have reconsidered. No, he did not love her. Absolutely not! Outwardly he was flery; inwardly he was cold. ‘She felt very miserable as she bade him good- night with a little catch in her throat. At breakfast he noted the circles un- der her eyes and rejoiced exceedingly thereat. ‘‘When they worry so about a fellow that they can't sleep, a deaf man may not infrequently catch the faint sound of distant wedding bells,” he re- lected. They chatted in desultory fashion during the meal; then Roberta went to fetch her coat and hat. She was wait- ing for him at the patio gate when he ewnerged from the ranch office, a carbine in his hands, a belt of ammunition around his waist and the two pistols tied to his legs. Julio brought the in- closed car up and when they climbed in, Roberta noticed that beside Jullo sat Ken Hobart. He was armed simi- larfly to his chief and carried a spare carbine. An hour later they pulled up at the you cannot buy better engineering.

Steel Spring cowe Antrim ranch house. It was a tumble- down affair set in the middle of & deso- late field. Not much of a heritage, Roberta thought, as she gased on the } lonely and unpleasant scene. Ken Ho- bart got out, walked to the front door and banged on it loudly. A Chinaman, in a greasy apron, opened it. “Where's Dingle?” the foreman de- manded. “He go ketchum sheep.” Hobart walked around the house and inspected the interior of an equally di- lapidated barn. “I imagine the Chinaman’s telling the truth. Dingle’s car is not in the barn,” he reported. “We've had our drive for mothing, Ken. Well, ve’li go back to Valle Verde, put a couple of saddle horses in a truck and run down to the range where the sheep are. We'll go as far as we can with the truck, and this car, then un- load and ride up into the hills. Game for the journey. Bobby?" She nodded and they whirled across the dusty plain to Valle Verde. Here four horses were saddled and led up & ramp into a large motor truck, and, preceded by the motor car, they headed down the road toward Los Algodones. From time to time Don Jaime's riders had reported on the approximate loca- tion of the main body of sheep still on the open range and the direction in which they were moving, consequently he was enabled to make a good guess as to where he would find them today. They left the road presently and broke trail across the sage to the foothills. Ken, you and Julio ride in a north- easterly direction,” Don Jaime ordered. “Miss Antrim and I will ride in the general direction of that butte yonder to the southeast—the one with the old landslide scarring its western front. Aurelio, you will remain here with the truck and the car. We will meet here ]n‘ol. later than 4 o'clock this afternoon, en.” Roberta mounted the hunter Don Jaime had given her. To her surprise she found a light carbine protruding from a holster swung under the sweat leather on her stock saddle, and a belt of cartridges hung over the pommel. ‘They rode steadily into the south- east, gradually climbing the butte; when they reached its crest, Jaime reined in his horse. With his binoculars he swept the coutnry for miles in every direction. “Do you see a slight film of white dust in the sky—rising beyond those low slate-colored hills yonder?” inted. Roberta adjusted the glasses and looked. The cloud in question was very faint, but—it was a cloud. “Sheep moving—south,” Don Jaime informed her laconically. “I have a hunch Mr. Dingle is headed for Mexico with the said shee] tealing them?” “You mean—he’s “I do. There's fair range below the Rio Grande—for sheep—and it isn't at all a difficult job for the Dingles of this world to get across the line with- out being detected.
