From behind a low hill still farther to the right, where the road forked again, a haze of smoke indicated a town of some sort. Farther up the valley a brownish cloud hung low—a round. up, Bud knew. The town could wait, the roundup might not, And a job he must have soon, or go hungry He rode toward the dust-cloud, came shortly to a small stream and a green | grase-plot, and stopped there long enough to throw the pack off Sun fish, unsaddle Smoky and stake them both out to graze, Stopper he saddled.

Stopper, you'll maybe get a chance to turn a cow this aft ernoon.” Just how soon the chance would come, Bud had not realized. He had cZountains serve it be- cause it tastes cThats why yyou want it at home.

Stopper, famed! and named for his prowess with just such cattle, wheeled in his tracks and | lengthened his stride to a run. “Tie ‘im down! someone yelled behind Bud. For answer Bud waved hin hand, and reached in his pocket for his knife. Stopper was artfully circling the steer, forcing it back toward the herd, and in another hundred yards or so Bud must throw his loop. He sliced off a saddiestring and took it between his teeth, jerked bis rope loose, flipped open the loop aa Stop- per raced up alongside, dropped the noowe neatly, and took his turns while Stopper planted his forefeet and braced himself for the shock Bud's right leg was over the cantle, all hia weight on the left stirrup when the jerk came and the steer fell with 9 thump. By good luck so Bud afterwards asserted—he was off and had the steer tied before it} had recovered its breath to scramble up. He remounted, flipped off the loop and recoiled hia rope while he weat jogging up to meet a rider-com. ing out to him. If he expected thanks for what he had done, he must have received a| shock.
