While Potter worked HolNe sat very quietly at his desk in the front office, his arms folded, one hand supporting his chin, his ips forming straight lines, his oyes narrowed with a meditative ex- pression. Occasionally Potter glanced furtively et him, his eyes filled with mingled expresmonn of aympathy, ad- miration, and concern. Potter appreciated his chtef's position, Tt cneant something for a man of Hollie’s years and training to bury him- eolf in this desolate sink-hile of in- iquity; to elect to carry on an unequad war with interests that controlled the law machinery of the county and ter- ritory—whose power extended to Wawh- ington. No doubt the young man was even now brooding over the ¢uture, Planning his fight, pessimistically con- @dering his chances of success. Potter's sympathy grew. He thought of approaching his chief with a word of encouragement. But while he hesitated, mentally debating the propriety uf such an action, Hollis turned quickly and “But ha y aman who felt strongly coul@ written it,” suggested the Judge, haps, | admit feeling a deep ine terest In the question of cattle. “Your ambition?” slyly insinuated the Judge. “Is temporarily din abeyance—perhaps permanently.” “Then your original decision about re- and put as little on them as possible.
