The b: FYllly Nate against Lorry, assuming that ey are carrying on the old feud, in this way getting control of the key lands necessary to the profect. N sudden death and tragedy, and it had developed in him a cer- tain stolidity and philosophy in such emergencies. For 10 minutes he held Lorry Kershaw's head against his shoul- der and neither spoke nor moved. “Now, then, Miss Kershaw,” he soothed presently, “this is no time for weakness. You're a Kershaw and none of your clan ever needed time out for that. You said you wanted to take your father home?” She nodded drearily. The Kershaws, like the Hensleys, always buried their own dead. “And I wouldn't, if I were you, per- mit my mind to dwell on the thought of your absolute aloneness in the world,” he continued. “That way madness lies. I know. I've been through all that. After two years in the A. E. F., where, it seemed to me, I lost “every comrade I managed to achieve an af- fection for; after losing my mother and aunts while I was in France and realiz- ing I hadn’t a single friend in the com- munity where 1 was born and raised, I found myself, when the war ended, the loneliest human being imaginable.” “I was always your Iriend, Nate ," she quavered. 1 knew that the morning I went away to enlist. Often I wanted to come back to Eden Valley and know you better but—" “Yes, I understand. Father was what he ‘was, poor dear.” “Well, be that as it may, you're not Nate_Tichen: the Hensley INSTALLMENT VI ATE TICHENOR, from early boyhood, had had more than his share of experience with nearly so badly off as you think you | are, and one of these days, when you have time to think about it, I'll tell you why.” He was almost abrupt. “I suppose we'd better get along.” “Yes, I suppose s0,” she agreed, and started her motor. Nate Tichenor fol- lowed in his car. Arrived at the Circle K headquarters, no men came out to meet them. “Where are your riders?” he queried. “They started with the cattle drive up !_nw the Forest Reserve this morn- ing. He lifted Rance Kershaw's body out of the car, carried it into the house and disposed it on Kershaw’s bed. He drew a sheet over the corpse and rejoined the girl in the living room. “I reckon,” he said, in the homely moun- tain idiom, “you Kershaws never have any truck with undertakers. Seems to me the Kershaw's don't use preachers either.” “No, we just read the service our- selves.” “The Hensleys always did, too. But you'll require a death certificate.” “Dr. Donaldson will furnish that.” “Lock the house up and drive in to Valley Center with me in my car. Have you in mind some woman friend you can bring back with you to keep you com- ny?" p"‘l have no friends, Nate Tichenor.” He frowned, then smiled faintly. “I forgot we're ‘the last survivors of two clans that were beyond the pale. Well, we'll hire somebody. There must be & practical nurse in Valley Center. When we get there Il telegraph my old su- perintendent, Rube Tenney, to come up here with his wife ana two children. She ylelded without argument to his suggestions—commands, rather. Dr. Donaldson made no comment when, in his office an hour later, Lorry Kershaw informed him of her father's death, He readily issued a death cer- | tificate. He was a gruff old fellow and not in the least pfl;&w' as ’{:fihenor realized when Donaldson growled: “So you two have buried the hatchet, th?” He flushed as Tichenor's bleak blue eyes rebuked him. % “It's none of my business, of course, Donaldson apologized. “I merely hoped sake——" Nate Tichenor smiled at him. “T understand, doctor. No offense if your ‘intentions were kindly.” “Thank you; they were. When will the funerai take place?” “Tomorrow, at 2 o'clock,” Lorry an- swered h im. b “I'll telephone the coroner, Donald- son went on. “He'll take my word for it that an lnq’lilul hl"l;! necessary, and the burial permit.” 1M;.Vehue Lorry Kershaw waited in the car Nate Tichenor scouted around town and succeeded in engaging the services of a Miss Lizzie Bachman, who in her youth had almost graduated from a nurse’s training school in San 1sco. n;l%: for considerable would Miss Bachman have missed this assignment. It was too meaty with gossip. Nate Tichenor dancing attendance on Lorry ershaw! K’rlchenor's next action was to call upon the editor of the local weekly paper, the Valley Center Register. “I am Nathan Tichenor of Eden Valley,” he announced. “I do not seem to re- member you. Apparently you came to Valley Center after I left Eden Valley." The editor said his name was Joe Brainerd and that he was pleased to meet Mr. Tichenor. He began asking Qquestions With a view to running half & column anent the return of this well known citizen, but Tichenor inter- rupted. “Mr. Ranceford Kershaw died about three hours ago, very suddenly, Mr. Brainerd,” he began. “No, I didn't kill him. He perished of heart disease and will be buried in the Kershaw family cemetery in Eden Valley at 2 p.m. tomorrow. Friends and neigh- bors are invited to attend. And may 1 ask, Mr. Brainerd, as a special favor %o Miss Lorry Kershaw and myself, that you do not take this opportunity to print & couple of columns of ancient history? _ Although you do not know it, the Hensley-Kershaw feud ended in 1917. Both Miss Kershaw and I think that the matter tten and we'll for your co- dear sir,” with dignity, “you mustn't presume to formulate my editorial policy.” Nate Tichenor looked Brainerd over bleakly. “Very well, run it. Next weelk there'll be another newspaper in this town, with a real newspaper man in charge, and you'll have a taste of active competition. And now that we understand each other, I want you to run off a hundred black-bordered death notices and send a man to paste them up in varioys conspicuous places around the town. That used to be the custom in this country. A few people might like to know of Rance Kershaw’s death, S0 they can come to his funeral as the copy for the inter, pald his bill and 'flwhnu'. further conversation. The S8 8 )88 deputy sheriff of Center . the Valley “Bill,” he queried, “what know about Nathan Tichenor?” . . Why “Would you say that a threat of his should be taken seriously?” The deputy sheriff rolled a comical eye at the editor. “I haven't seen the boy since he was in high school here, but from what little I know o' his tribe T should say none o' that breed ever made a threat. They made prom- ises—an’ kept 'em.” 1 sized him up that way,” the editor replied. After eliciting from Brainerd all the news ~the latter had, Mr. Rooney strolled away to_distribute his tidbit of gossip around Valley Center. Almost the first place he went was to the Bank of Valley Center. Henry Rookby, in charge during Babson's absence, re- ceived him. Mr. Rooney leaned against the counter, shot a stream of to- bacco juice at a distant cuspidor and it, was unembarrassed and sald casually: “I see young Nate Tichenor's back in the country. An' Rance Kershaw's kicked the ‘bucket. Died o' heart do you Bar H gate an' Nate Tichenor an’ Lorry Kershaw've been in town together an’ thicker'n thieves.” “When the cat’s_away the mice'll Play; T suppose. Who told you all “Brainerd. Tichenor was in an’ gave him the story.” i “That Nate Tichenor's a bad lot.” Mr. Rookby murmured darkly. “I never liked him. D'ye mean to tell me he's around with Lorry Kershaw now, helping her out in her trouble?” r. Rooney nodded. “The hypocrite! He’s back here to smash the Kershaw outfit. Not another reason in life, Bill. Rance Kershaw's estate must owe * Tichenor more'n three hundred thousand dollars an’ for the past three years old Rance has been using clam shells and wood- peckers’ heads for money. Interesting situation. Very interesting.” ‘When he turned to wait on a cus- ‘tomer Mr. Rooney continued on to the Valley Center Garage discharge another load of his interesting in- formation.
