What good was money? “The only thing in the whole wide world that Cissy wants and I can’t buy him or bribe him!” Grim satisfaction in that thought in spite of a rising anger. If he could buy or bribe Reuben, he wouldn't want him for Cissy. Well, let the young ass go ahead! Let him go the limit! then when he came crawling back— In stubborn mood Clem and ‘Reuben arrived at the gates of Goodloe’s Choice, just as Judith, mounted on Winona, came ont. The temperamental animal pretended to be afraid of the shining auto- mobile. She staged a grand act. She danced and pranced all over the road. She reared on her hind legs. She pawed with her front feet. She dilated her thin nostrils. Judith let her go through all her stunts. She even encouraged her a little. She gave a fine exhibition of horsemanship. Reuben watched fearfully. Clem with delighted fascination. “Whoops, whoops and a couple of hooplas!” he exclaimed when Winona at last drew quite close to the machine she had pretended to fear, “That's the best act I've ever seen outside of a circus x know as I've ever one: You're Rube’s gitl, “Judith still b i odded bridle n “Well, by yeraicky if you’ ing to mani your husband you do your harge Rube's goi ed gayly: sh!” deliciously confidenti: keep him thinking he has all luck.” “Maybe he has at that.” ‘Isn't It Appalling?” “pus is Clem Rogers, Judith,” Reuben made a belated intro- duction, “The man who gave me my start.” “But who won't be in at the fin- he thought dourly. He said: “Pleased to meet you, ma'am.” Judith leaned from her saddle to take Clem's hand. “You've been a good friend.” She smiled her own peculiarly friendly smile, “The very best friend Reuben ever had.” Clem fell before her charm al- most without a struggle. “I was afraid Rube was being hooked a@ cold-blooded dame.” he fessed sheevishlv “si Becerececcese “You don’ Mr. Rogers. “Neither do you, ma’am,” Clem ‘chuckled. “He means,” Reuben explained ickly. not knowing what Clem ould say next. “that.

I'm afraid I wouldn’t know how to act natural under any other ci cumstances.” Her eyes were hon- est. Her confidence disarming. “Come on in and meet Gran.” She turned back to the gates. Gran, in her most gracious mood, talked with Clem about prospec’ ing oil. wheat and whatnot while Reuben had a fragrant goodby kiss from Judith. “Don't worry. sweet.” Laughter rippled over Judith’s red lips—“You don't ‘know Goodloes if you think. they worry Like Buzzards pepe thought. old Olem rather a dear.
