I will digress long enough to explain the action. * “Here,” be explained, indicating @ sketch which he had drawn, ts the Circle Bar brand—a bar within a circle, And this—indicating another sketch—is the Circle Cross—a cross within a circle.

Not long after that your father began to miss cattle—rustiers began @ sys- tematic attack upon his herds.

Even then he could not prevent rust- lng, Dunlavey bribed his men; his heria dwindled; he saw that he was facing ruln if he did not devise some means to successfully cope with his en- emies. He went over to Santa Fe to ere the Governor—e pifiling carpet-bag- ker. He was told that the Government Was powerless; that the same condition existed all over the country, and that the Government was unable to combat it. ‘The Law had not come. “Your father returned home, discour- agod but not beaten.
