No man could be kinder to his own son, could show mare confidence in him, than Emerson Crawford was to one who had no claims upon him. He murmured a dry “Thank you'; then, feeling this to be inadequate, added, “T'll try to see you don't re- gret this.” 5 The cattleman was a shrewd judge jof men. His action now was not based solely upon humanitarian motives. It was good business to make it worth his while to stick to Crawford's en- terprises. CHAPTER XIX.

Then, ing your friends, safd lightly. “Let's walk,"” she continued, and he noticed that the eyes and mouth had softened to a tender smile. “I can't talk here, Dave.” They walked out of the town into| the golden autumn sunlight of the foothills. Neither of them spoke. She carried herself buoyantly, chine up, her face a flushed cameo of loveliness, As sk took the uphill ‘trail a small breath of wind wrapped the white skirt about her slender linbs. He found in her a new note, one of un- accustomed shyness. The silence grew at last too signi- ficant. She was driven to break it. “1 suppose I'm foolish,” she began haltingly. “But T had been expect- ing —-all of us had-—-that when you came home from-—-from Denver—the first time, I mean—you would be the old Dave Handers we all knew and Iiked.
