Hart did the same. Just about to attack a second slice, Dave stopped to star at his companion. Hart was looking t his shoulder with ulert intent- ness. Dave turned his head. Two | men, leaving the restaurant, were pay- | ing the cashier. The men were George Doble and a cowpuncher known as Shorty, a broad, heavy-set little man who worked for Bradley Steelman, owner of the Rocking Horse ranch. They paid their bill and passed into the street. - Immediately the sound of a clear, high voice arrested their at- tention. It vibrated indignation and dread. “What have you done with my| father?*' came sharply to them on the | wings of the soft night wind. A young woman was speaking. She was in a buggy and was talking to two men on the sidewalk—the two men who had pgeceded the range- riders out of the restaurant. “Why, Miss, we ain't done a thing to him—nothin’ a-tall.” The man Shorty was speaking, and in a tonel of honeyed conciliation. | “That's a lie" The voice of the | girl broke for an instant to sob.
