My dear Miss Draper: Back in my room at Mrs. Ticer's with Dicky purposely paving such iduous attention to his mother and mior that I ‘feared no interruption from wy doughty mother-in-law, I sat before an improvised desk, cudgel- ling my brain for fitting words with which to clothe my request-to her that she pose again for Dicky’s illus- trations. . I stared at the formal with eyes that.looked backward down & vista of trouble and tragedy, of which Grace Draper had been the storm-center, and wondered to what must look forward—a little premon- ftory shiver swept me. ~Of my own volition.

Jim Wilder, a cowboy who iz not too popular on the range, thinking that Jeremiah Lambert, a peddler, who rode into camp on a bicycle, was a green tenderfoot, offered him his own horse, which was somewhat o! an outlaw, if he could rida it.

You can do Vesta as big a faver as yow'll be doing me Duke.” “Tell me all about it, Grace,” urged. She came close to him put her arm about his neck, drew his head down as if to whisper her confidence in his ear. Her breath was on his cheek, his heart was afire in one foolish leap. She put up her lips as if to kiss him, and he, reeling in the ecstasy of his proximity to her radiant body, bent nearer to take what she seemed to offer. “In the morning, I'll tell you all in the morning when I meet you to drive he cattle over,” she said. “Don’t say a word—I‘ll not not take no for my anwer.” She turned quickly to her horse and swung lightly into the saddle. From this perch she leaned toward him, her hand on his shoulder, her lips drawing him in their”flery lure again. “In the morning—in the morning—you can kiss me, Duke!” With that word, thut promise, she turned and galloped away. Late in the afternoon, Lambert had faced vack toward the ranch- house, troubled by all that he could not understand in that morning’s meeting, thrilled and fired by all that was sweet to remember, when he met 2 man who came riding in the haste of one who had business ahead ‘of him that coyld notrwait. As they closed the distance between them Lambert keeping his hand in the easy neighborhood of his gun, the man -raised his hand, palm for ward, in the Indian sign of peace.

He forthwith deputize¢ Lambert, and gave him a duplicate of the warrant. “You .don't fieed it, bu* it'll clear your mind of all doubt of your power,” he explained. “Can we get through the fence?”’ - “Up here six or seVen miles, about opposite Kerr’s place. But I'd like to 80 on to the house and change horses; T've ridden this one over forty miles today already.” The sheriff agreed. “Where's that outlaw. you won from Jim Wilder?” he inquired, turning his eyes on Lam- bert in. friendly ‘appreciation. “I'll ride him,” Lambert returned briefly. “What's Kerr been up to?” “Mortgaged a bunch of cattle he’s got over there to three different banks. He was down a couple of days ago tryin’ to put through another loan. The investigation that banker started laid him bare. He promised Kerr to coms up tomorrow and look over the security and passed the word €y. Kerr said stock. He wanted to raise the loan on them.” “Five hundred,” said Lambert, me- chanically repeating the sheriff’s word, doing some calculating of his own. “He . ain’t .got any blanketed with mortgage thick already they’d go through a blizzard and never know it His schéme was to raise five or six thou- sand more on that outfit and skin the country.” As he rode Whetstone—now quite ecovered from his scorching, save for the hair of his once fine tail—beside the sheriff, Lambert had some uneasy cogitations on his sentimental blind- ness of the past; on the good, honest advice that Vesta Philbrook had given him. Blood was blood, after all. e that paper ain’t so CHAPTER VIIL Unmasked. . The. Kerr ranch, buildings were more than a mildawPay from the point ‘where Lambert and the sheriff halted to look down on them. “I'll take the front door; you watch the back.” They had not closed up half the distance between them and the house when two horsemen rode around the corner of the ranch fence. Outside 'the fence they separated with the suddenness of a preconcerted plan, darting away in;opposite directions. Each wore a white hat, and from that distance they appeared as much alike in size and bearing as a man and his reflection. The sheriff swore a surprised oath at sight of them, and their cunning plan to confuse and divide the pursuing force. “Which one of ’em’s Kerr?” he shouted as ne leaned in his saddle, urging his horse on for all that it could do. “I don’t know,” “I'll chance this one,” sheriff, pointing. ‘“Take teller.” The sky was bright beyond horse and rider, cut sharply by the line of the hill. Against it the picture stood black as a shadow, but with an un- mistakable pose in the rider that made Lambert’s heart jump and grow glad. It was Grace; chance had been kind to him again, leading him in the way his heart would have gone if it had been given the choice. She looked back, turning with a hand on the cantle of her saddle. He waved his hand, to assure her, but she did not seem to rcad the friendly signal, for she rode on again, disappearing over the hill before he reached the crest. He fretted. that dusk was falling so fast. In the little strips of valle: growing narrower as he proceeded between the abrupt hills, it was so nearly dark already that she appeared only dimly ahead of him, uraing her horse on with unsparing hand. He shouted, calling her name, fearful that he should lose her in this brok- en country in fast-deepening night. Although she was not more than two hundred yards ahead of him now, she di4 not seem to hear. In a moment he turmed the base of a great roock, and there he lost her. He pulled up and shouted again, an appeal of tender concern in her name. There was no reply, no sound of her fleeing horse. Whetstone lifted his head with a erk, his ears set forward, snorting an alarm. Quick on his action there came a shot, close at hand. Wher stone started with a quivering bound, stumbled to his knees, struggled to Lambert returned. said the the other groans. Lambert was out of the saddle at he sound of the hot. He prangs to the shelter of the nearest rock, gun in hand, thinking with a sweep of bitterness that Grace Kerr had led him into a trap. Whetstone was ly- ing still. and Lambert knew that he was deai. { Lambert was incautisus of his own sa.f‘ety in his great concern for his hotse.

She rode out boldly and indifferently before his eyes, turned and looked back at him, her face white as an eve- ning primrose in the dusk, as if to tell him that she knew she was safe, even within the distance of his arm, much as she despised his calling and his kind. Lambert put his gun back in its sheath, and she rode on, disap- pearing again from his sight around the rock where the blasted valley of tones branched upon its arid way. He| took the saddle from his dead horse and hid it behind a rock, not caring much whether he ever found it again his heart so heavy that it seemed to bow him to the ground. So at last he knew her for what Vesta Philbrook had told him she was —bad to the core of her heart. Kind- ness could not regenerate her, love could not pnrgé away the vicious strain of blood. When she sent her bullet into poor old Whetstone’s brain, she placed herself beyond any absolution that even his soft heart could yield. Lambert was loading cattle nearly a week later when the sheriff rode up and hailed him. He had followed Kerr, he said, far beyond his jurisdie- tion;, pushing him a hard race through the hills, but the wily cattleman had evaded him in the end. Lambert was a busy man for sev- eral weeks after his last race with the will-o’-the-wisp, traveling be- tween Glendora and Chicago, dispcs- ing of the Philbrook herd. On this day he was jolting alone with the last of the cattle that were of marketabl condition and age, twenty cars of them, glad that the wind-up was in sight. Already he had sold more than $80,000 worth of cattle for Vesta, and carried home to her the drafts. This time he was to take back the money, as they would have the cash to buy out Walleye, the sheepman, who was making a failure of the business and was anxious to quit. He rolled a cigarette and felt abount himself abstractedly for a match, in his pocket, where Grace Kerr's little handkerchief still lay. with no explanation or defense for its presence contrived or attempted; in that po¢ket, where his thumb en- countered a folded paper.

Old dog Spot was the road from the mill pond carrying 1 bundle of somebody’s clothes in his mouth. When he heard frantic shouts rom the water, where Johnhnie Green and his friends were swimming, he quickened his pace. One of the swimmers was known as “Red.” And 1t was a favorite trick of his to tie hard knots in other boys’ zarments while the owners of them were in the pond. Usually he wet the knots, because wetting them made them harder to untie. On this day somebody had turned the tables on Red. Somebody had crept up benind the big old hickory off. It was no wonder that the boys be- 7an to yell when tiWey saw Spot pick up those clothes and calmly trot away with them. It was no wonder that they swam to the bank and scrambled up to the big hickory to find out whose clothes were missing. When they saw that Red was the unlucky one, everybody else began to whoop and laugh. But not Red! He let out a fright- ened scream and started to follow old dog Spot. To the great delight of his compan- ions, the rattle of a wagon and the thud of a horse’ feet sounded from up the road. And since some one must soon drive over the bridge, which crossed right above the dam. Ited scurried back again and dived into the pond Green and the others had already plunged. Red rose to the surface spluttering. And finding that he could touch bottom with his feet, he stood with his carroty head out of water, watching for the wagon. It soon came into view, out of the woods, and the horse that drew it thundered uvon the bridge. The horse was old Ebenezer: and Farmer Green was driving him. into which Johnnie “Hi minute!” Johnnie Red shoute.
