Jeff brought the gelding around from the stable and put him through his paces. Hardy knew nothing about horses but his artist’s eye could appreciate the well-knit structure, symmetry and grace of the animal. Linda who could ride made friends with the geld- ing, running her sensitive fingers along his gleaming neck. “What are you going to call him, Jeff?” “I hadn’t thought. What would you suggest?” “It: should be dignified: to gd with his fine breeding yet short and easy to say.” « *Well?” 4 She studied the gelding’s face, staring into his liquid brown eyes and fondling his muzzle gently. “Why not Star Chieftain? This is a perfect star on his forehead, and his father was registered as Des- ert Chieftain—” He grinned down at her. “Star it is then, Linda.” She glanced up quickly at the sotind of her given name. Uncon- sciously they had fallen info the informality of first names, it seemed to amuse her. When it became too hot for Mr, Hardy they helped him inside and turned to the back, helping Pa- checo lay the ’dobe bricks.

He hitched the gelding to the rail before Coulter’s office and went inside. Coulter was alone, slumped in his swivel chair, his feet on hi desk and a_ half-smoked_ stogie between his flaccid lips. His, gra. Stetson was tilted back on head, at sight of Jeff he pushed| it back even further. “Didn’t expect to see you thi: soon, Irskine.” “Got time for that talk now?” Jeff said ruptly. “Guess $.
