At its rear and on the flanks little black dots, that were herders and sheep dogs, urged the weary animals along. Don Jaime counted him. largest dots. “Twenty herders,” Roberta heard him remark. “Hum-m-m! It doesn’t look as if it would be quite safe to give Bill Dingle his walking papers today. He is not in a mood to accept them.” He dropped his bl ulars, whirled his horse and, with even a look at the {m beside him, started back the way hey had come. “What are you going to do, Jimmy?” she asked anxiously, spurring up along- side of him. “We're going back to the car Bobby. I'm going to send Aurelio back to Valle Verde for re-enforcements.” “Will there be a fight?” “I think so, Bobby. Dingle has 20 herders. Six, with the dogs, should be ample to manoeuver those sheep. So 1t looks as if he had prepared for trouble, and when men prepare for trouble it's & pretty good sign they will not avoid it.” “I don’t want a fight.”” the girl cried puflonauly “You and Some of your men may get hurt—killed.” “Quite likely.

When this issue is settled, Il know what to do and Ill not have to be told.” “The objection you raise is a logicnl one. Have it your own way.” He gave Aurelio/his orders in Spanish and when the latter had departed with the truck, Don Jaime sat down on the running board of the car and motioned to Roberta to dismount and sit beside “I'll have to teach that below-the- border ‘gang a lesson,” he said casually. “They must learn to stay at home. I'm four men shy on a 50-50 break in my ruckuses with those animals—four good men. One of them was Julio's father —and Julio shall have his chance at reprisal this day. This matter is per- sonal, Bobby, and I'm going to get every mother’s son of those renegades glt‘ have to follow them to Mexico y.” “You are going to walt here until Au- relio returns with more men and horses? How many men have you sent for?” “Twenty. Caraveo, the riding boss, will pick the best. That will be five trucks with four horses and their riders to each truck. Don’t talk to me now, Riobefl-l. I have to formulate a battle plan.” He took out a note book and pencil and commenced writing. “Here,” he said abruptly, when he had finished, “please hand this to Ken Hobart when he reports here. If nobody returns by twilight, drive the car back to the ranch. You know the way.” He stood up, hitched his belt and held out his hand. “Where are you going, Jimmy?" “I'm going to circle ahead of those sheep and get to the only waterhole they can reach tonight. There’s an old brand! corral in the vnuey by that waterhole—one I built myself. TI'm going to dig in there lnd hold that & g off. There is a tiny shanty by e corral where we keep tools for clean- ing out the waterholes, so I'm fixed!” “Surely you're not going alone?” “Julio will follow at 4 o'clock. He's dependable. Good by, Bobby—in case I do not see you again. It's been won- derful to have known you. When you get home, think kindly of Jim , i he's in the cemetery, and send him ln'*oeeulmnl plcture post-card if he's not.” He took her hand. Tt trembled in (| his.
