b naRRy :um.‘:u\ DRAGO BEGIN HERE TODAY Jose Arrascada leader of the Basque gente In Paradise Valley, is owner of the Rancho Buena Viste and father of Mercedes Esteban and little blind Basilio. Blaze Kildare, new arriyal in the valley, hires out to Dick Acklyn, big boss of the Double A ranch, Acklin plots with Buck Bo- dine, new owner of the old Webster place, to rob the Basques of their water supply. Cash Morrow is fore- man of the Double A ranch, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Blaze found the saloon filled, Ata table six men played cards. They were the only ones present who seemed untouched by the general air of disaster, Blaze bought a drink, The card game ended, Blaze caught the reflection of the players in the fly-specked mirror over the back-bar, “You boys are too dod-gasted lucky for me,” the smallest of them cackled. “I been going for the case- card every time,” In the mirror, Blaze could see that he had caught the little man's atten- tion, It was half dark in the saloon, but he sensed the alertness in the other’s eyes. Blaze reached for his glass to finish his drink. “Well, if it ain't old Timberline,” the little man exclained, Blaze set his drink down and turned to scrutinize his neighbor. Recog- nition came quickly. “Joe Kent!” he cried. you doing way down here, ra?" “Why, I been over this a-ways some time. What you doin’ here?” “Side me out of town a ways and I'll let you guess, But lay off that Timberline, It belongs in my wicked past. I'm headed for Webster Creek. That out of your way?'" Benavide waved him goodby as he and Blaze left, Tuscarora was a fix- ture in the valley. “What's on, son?" he asked, when they had crossed the little bridge north of town. “You acted back there as if I had handed you a jolt.” *“You sure gave me a surprise,” Blaze admitted. “You heard about the Kid, T suppose?” “Yeh! Too bad! That ain't bring- in’ you over here, is it?" “It's taken me a lot of places. 1 hired out to the Double A yesterday.” “Now looka here, Blaze!" Joe ex- claimed as he pulled up his horse. “You don't belong in this fuss. And it's gonna be a fuss. There'll be Killin’ before it's through. Acklin's over his head. As long as it don't mean anythin' to you, why not get out of it?"” “I'm playing a hunch; that's all! I've got to see it through. Anyway, Joe, I never was much of a hand at running away.” They _rode.on for a mile or more before Blaze spoke. i “Why don't you take the thing to court? « This is still the United States, isn't it? You've got the law.” “law?"Joe mocked. “The country is smeared with it; but it's all made for the other fellow. But don't you fret. We'll get started. I'll have every man-jack in the valley down to the Rancho Buena Vista tomorrow ® night. I'll see to it, too, that we don't make any small town affair of this row. I been county commissioner twice. I know how Acklin’s got things tied up around here. He's strong enough down in Carson, too. But T'll take a lot of beating before I'm dead. Election’s coming on soon. Tom Brand is out for district attor- ney down in Winnemucca. Acklin and the Anaconda Cattle Co. may beat him. Still he's got a following. I‘olks have had about enough of your San Francisco millionaires.” CHAPTER VIIIL. A Narrow Escape It was late twilight when Blaze walked his horse into Bodine's yard. Webster Creek cut across it between house and barn. Ahead of him the house bulked dark and silent. He sent My Man prancing through the water and was about to cry out to see if he could arouse any one when a short, bandy-legged shadow de- tached itself from the blackness of the house and dashed madly for the barn. A voice boomed from the steps of the house asking what he Biaze recognized it for Bodine’ “I've got a letter for yo answered, ‘“This is Kildare.” ““What are Tuscaro- Blaze sat on the porch while Bo-| dine went inside to read Acklin's let- ter. He fancied he saw some one For Fifty Years America’s Favorite Drink HIRES Household Extract For making ROOTBEER at home Hires is the old, original ex- tract.

Their eyes met and Bodine laughed, They went inside, Blaze drew out a chair that would leave him facing the window. “8it on the other side,” Bodine cut in. “I'll be handy to the stove here, 80 I can hot up the coffee. I've got some biscuits in the oven, Blaze had been careful to note that the window had been closed when he sat down, Yet as he finished the HE CAUGHT ON THE POL- ISHED SURFACE THE PICTURE OF A HAT AND THE LOWER PART OF A FACE. last of the biscuits he felt the first touch of the cold night wind on the back of his neck. He knew the win- | dow was being slowly opened. _The shining biscuit-tin, acting as a mirror, reflected the troubled face of Bodine. Inspiration came to Blaze, Reaching out, he took the pah and stood it on end as if to shake the crumbs from it; then quickly held it kefore him and caught on the pol- ished surface the picture of a hat and | the lower part of a face. With the barrel of a heavy gun the owner of the hat was pushing the window open. Bodine was quick to grasp the ac- tion. With an oath he kicked his chair behind him and made for the window. i “That damned wind- comes out of the cahon every night about this time. Cools your victuals off before you've got time to get them down.” He closed the window with a bang. Had Shorty recognized an enemy in Kildare? When Buck turned he found Blaze was on his feet. | “‘Going already?'* he asked, torn be- tween anger and fear. A break with the Doble A now would be a calamity. ‘YAdios, then.” Bodine waved his hand as Kildare got into the #addle. He falled to note the tilt of Kildare's | jaw. | Blaze forced My Man close to the porch. “Years ago, way up in Montana, | Bodine,” he warned, “I first heard of | the Double A. And since theu when- ever I've heard cow-men speak of it, there. is one thing they have always said: ‘The Double A boys stick to- gether.’ They have a habit of not - STOMACH UPSET?

They chased ‘Soapy’ Smith all the way into Utah; they got him too."” Blaze paused, “That's just something to think about,” he added sullenly and, giving My Man the bit, cantered awa CHAPTER IX A Friendly Act Ol1d Ironsides arose from his break- fats table the following morning de- termined to see Acklin. Acklin had foreseen this visit, It was certain to be a bad half-hour. Thought of its unpleasantness solely, and not a sense of shame for his du- | plicity, caused him to arrange hur- riedly for an alleged trip to the Owyhee. Therefore it followed that about the same time Jose left the Rancho Acklin departed from the Bull's Head. | By word of mouth from his men, the news of the §ld Basque's coming had been relayed to Cash. He had flashed back to them not molest the visitor, “Buenos dias Senor,” he called, as the dignified old Basque strode up the steps, Jose returned the moniously. “Is the Senor busy?” he inquired. 'he boss isn't home,” Morrow an- swered, almost glad that he could speak the truth. “He left for the Owyhee early this morning. Don't expect him back today, neither.” Jose mopped his forehead. “Anything I can do for you?"” suggected. “Yes!” Jose's tones were icy cold. “I came today to ask permission to cross your fence. My neighbors have sought to sece b nd it, and they have been driven aw; Both you and to salutation cere- Bad Breath Is Usually Due to Constipation When you are constipated, not enough of Nature’s lu- bricating liquid is produced in the bowel to keep the food waste soft and moving.

I wanted | Senor Acklin to convict himself before | I jndged him, I have my answer! I see now, that he runs avay; he is a coward, too." Without another word he mounted his horse and struck off down the | valley.
