You surged out here | on purpose to huy the lease, but he Bid out all afternoon to avold you" “Um.m! Suppose we leave it for the present.”” Mallow, who had remained silent during his friend's argument, greeted this suggestion with relief, He wi glad to change the subject. “Good he cried, heartily. “I'd about as soon face Old Tom Parker, like that fellow in the restaurant did, as to face Jackson. He'd sink a stillson in my head, sure, {f—" “Parker? Was that old man Miss Parker's father?” “Certainly! What ailed that gunman? got the flu or something, all of a sudden? There ain't anybody left tough enough to hanker for Tom's scalp. He's pinned a rofe on all of those old-timers, and he's deadly poison to the new crop.” For the first time Calvin Gray un- derstood clearly the reason for the unexpected outcome of that encounter in the cafe, No wonder the slr:\n-'h phiiinh er's trigger finger had been para- 'S ' Joeed. K arbara's father, indeed! Hold the ring. How stupid of him not to guess. “I must find him, quickly,” Gray| declared, “Perhaps he'll ride back to town with us.” 1+ was not a difficult task to locate the veteran officer, and Tom was de- lighted at the chance to ride home with his new acquaintance. A unique and an engaging person Parker proved to be; an old com- pound of gentleness and acerbity, of kindliness and rancor: a quiet, guile- less, stubborn, violent old man-at- arms, who would not be interrupted while he was eating. He was both scornful and contemptuous evil- doers.

Here was a problem. | Having dressed himself, he strolled {around to Coverly's place of husiness and interviewed the jewelery. “Sure! He has bought quite a bit | of stuff in the last few days,” Cover- Iy told him. *“He was in only yes- terday and ordered a fine piece made {up.
