Nate tells Lorry that he and Owen Kershaw Lorry's brother, met in France just before Owen was killed. They became buddies, and vived Owén he | as a brother | might do. INSTALLMENT VIIL ATE TICHENOR slept at the| Bar H that night, but rexumcd! to the Circle K eariy next| morning, with two men h2 hldl picked up in Valiey Center. He set them at once to tie task of digging Rance Kershaw's grave in the family cemetery, Lotry Kershaw pointing out | to them the. dcsired spot. About noon | the coffin arrived from Valley ter and he heiped the man who delivered | it place Kershaw in it. Then he| Jurighed with Lorry and Miss Bachman. At 0 o'clock he and Lotry‘hitchad & team to a wagon and he drove it around and tied the team in front of the house. At 2 o'cloci the girl met his inquiring glance and bravely said: “We might as well proceed, Nate Nobody's coming to mv father's funeral. With the aid of the two hired men he carried Rance Kershaw out to the wagon and, mounting the' seat, drove his late enemy on the latter’s last pll- grimage, while Lorry, Miss Bachman and the two laborers followed in the Korshaw car. At the grave Tichenor | Tead the funeral service, the men cov- ered the grave, Tichenor g: them \each a $10 bill and witn Lorry and Miss Bachman returned to the house. H: was rather proud of the manne: which Lorry had carried on, even | !though he had expected her to hibit ithe traditional courage of her clan. “Throughout the remainger of the after- |noon he sat with the two women in the ‘ranch house veranda and was talkative ‘to & degree only excusable in his own mind because he had the customary ‘masculine belief that it was his duty to keep Lorry's mind off her troubles. Evidently Miss Lizzle Bachman w“j similarly inspired. He enjoyed (and| was: certain Lorry did also) the efforts ©of Miss Bachman to elicit from him in- formation as to his comings and goings since -he had left Eden Valley. For three hours he withstood her assaults: ‘then, weary and discouraged, excused ‘himself and motored back home to the. ‘comforting presence of his silent valet. " The two days that followed Rance Kershaw's funeral were spent by Nate Tichenor at the Bar H headquarters {until his old superintendent, Rube Ten- ‘ney, should arrive end, with his wife, ‘assume the duty of looking after Lorry '»Kerlhlv;;a t:fllh‘l and 1ke: ng any.

He did not know Silas Babson except by *sight; hence, lacking knowledge of the v 's character, he was at a loss to know why Babson had so suddenly iturned on the Kgr!"l:ew;.

He'd promised | Owen Kershaw he’d wave the olive branch, if and when he should get back | to Edén Valley. . . . What a e- looking lad that Owen had been! . . . All man . . . unexpectedly senti mental. . . . Well, he'd been out of | Eden Valley to a private school for a . few years. . . .. He'd been civilized. “Yes, Owen,” Tichenor soliloguized, “jt is hard to accept too many favors | from a traditional enemy. The sus-| picion, distrust and dislike of a half- century aren't to be eradicated in a day . . . and she did throw my check in the fire! Well, she has some- thing I want and I'm willing w’rrly for it and pay heavily. . . -. it cursed feud is dead and Il not revive it with a lawsuit. Why rub into girl the knowledge that I'm rolling in money while she’s bankrupt?” Forthwith he motored into Gold Run and telephoned to his attorney in San Pri “Tichenor speaking, Pad- Ranceford rupt estate to his sole heir, a daugh- Milkman Delivers ter, named Lorraine. But two years to you about=-you have the legal de- scription. Well, Lorraine filed that deed of gift for record very recently, as I discovered when run- ning down the title at the court house ld Run, The local bank holds $30,000 worth of Rance Kershaw's notes, unsecured, overdue and with and controlling owner of that bank holds also an overdue first mortgage in the sum of $250,000, with a year’s interest in default. In addition, the Kershaw estate owes the Ber H Land & Cattle Co. more thin threz hundred thousand dollars. The bank and the banker are going to foreclose, but the Bar H insn't.” “Good "mews,” the lawyer inter- fected, as Nate Tichenor paused for breath. “It would seem that the girl is not in a position to hold you up. so you ought to get that 4,000 acres cheap.” “Precisely. But I'm not going to she can hold me up; therell be no argument as to the price. I'm mailing my bank in San Prancisco today & check in its favor for $400,000, with instructions to issue a certified check in favor of Lorraine Kershaw and send it over to your office. Mean- while, prepare a deed from Lorraine Kershaw to the Mountain Valley Power Co. for that 4,000 acres—' “Why not do a little trading? Offer the girl $20 an acre and work up.” “Listen, Paddon. legal business for me, but I do not need you for my general manager. That land is worth $400,000 to me if I can get it without a fight and without leaving a bad taste in Lorry Kershaw's mouth. I can afford to pay for my fancies. I have a fancy for this 4,000 acres and I fancy it now! But I do not wish to be known in the premises, s0 do not come up yourself to close this deal. The girl would suspect col- lusion. Understood?” “Aye, nye, sir.” from Gold Run arrived at the ranch, bearing Mr. Rube Tenney, Mrs. Rube Tenney and two little Tenneys, a boy and a girl. Mr. Tenney, in his younger had been a Hensley bodyguard, willing (albeit never called upon to do so) to kill a Kershaw out of loy- alty to the bread he ate. He was riding . under Nate Tichenor'’s father, and when the latter died was elevated to the position of ranch su- perintendent, which position he had held with credit and honor until Nate Tichenor had gone out of the cattle iR, ™.
