They wanted her to sign her mother’s name to a paper which would give to Kate Cathrew the homestead on Nameless——" “Great Scott!” said Bossick again. “She wouldn't,” went on Minnie, “and so they gave her to Sud Pro- vine to keep all night in Rainbow's Pot, with Big Basford standing guard outside.” There was the sound of an indrawn | breath from Fair. “We know Provine, Rod Stone and | me,” continued the girl, “and so we t » cylmina actual starva- Brand Fair hung his hat on a nail $ and turned to the well as Bud came whistling up the path. mon’ jin wh “Fine, Mammy,” he cated back, |H0% wnfitted a man for ma sam everything st Sky Line's dolN| te ten minutes, but after that brief well.

They dared Arnold and Cattle Kate to save @ Woman's honor—and that’s no small thing.” “Shucks!" said Stone disgustedly, “what would any half-man do?” Fair stood Nance upon her feet. She raised her unspeakable head and glanced at the tense faces. “Where's this Provine? Tell us, Nance,” said Fair still in that thin, hard voice. He hitched his holster @ little farther forward on his thigh. “I don't know,” she said. “I tore his face to ribbons—I'd have killed him if I could. He crawled that way.” She nodded toward the north. Fair loosed her gently and was turning away, when Bossick caught his arm. “Hold hard, Smith—Mr. Fair,” he said, “not in your condition. Jermyn —0 see what you can find, In the Meantime there's Big Basford. The boy was quick— Here Rod Stone broke in, speaking frankly: “I'd like to say, men, that when oung Allison killed Big Basford he st the man who threw his father down Rainbow Cliff and stretched the rope that lamed him. John Alll- son had found the only outside way to the rim and was looking down into the Pot here, when Basford went to meet him.” For @ long moment there was si- lence, “It would seem to me,” said Bos- sick slowly, “that there has been a deal of justice done here this day— & very great deal of justice, It’s} destiny." Nades Allison looked up at him with a light in her blue eyes, “It's the hand of God, Mr. Boa sick,” she said gravely, “no less.” The rancher nodded, “Mayoe,” he said, as Jermyn and Several others who had accompanied him, came back across the basin with Sud Provine among them. One look at the man was sufficient. “I gueas he’s had all that was com- ing to him for the present,” sald Bonsick grimly. “Take him along to the house. We'll go gather in tho Teat,’" And #0, in the full day, with the Tisen sun touching all tho tapentried Slopes of Mystery with gold, Cattle Kate Cathrew went back to her Stronghold under the tinted cliff— Pehl in state with a retinue behind er, She had died as she had lived, spectacularly, and her turbulent soul , *hould have been satinfied, With her went one man who had loved her after hiy selfish fashion, | 0 es “I’m hungry,” he said to his prime minister.
