The greatest gather sported the Noose on their right shoulders. Many others had Cass Walden’s Cross Buck on their left ribs, There was Turkey Track, Pot- hook, Rocking Chair — plenty of cattle, plenty of brands. But little more than half the total of Dia- mond R which should be showing up. This tally, so far, was making it close to a tale of disaster, He turned his head, aware that Indian Joe had squatted beside him, with his own laden plate. They had ridden together a good part of the day, both watcnfal: and both, he knew, arriving at the same conclusions, though neither of them had voiced what was in their minds.

But, comin; on top of the other events, was too much for over-strained nerves. By the next morning, when Steve left, she was better, almos herself again.
