KYNE .tTvitt -^^''lSSiP^s2 THE STORY SO FAR: Mary Suther land arrive* at Sughuaro, a flat ctatlon la Arizona, and walti for Uie itatlon waros from Wagon Wheel Ranch to pick her up. Alter a long wait Len Henley cornea along 1, a truck and drives her to a Phoenix hotel, whera hit Aunt Mar garet glvei her th. gueit room until iba la abl, to find accommodations at ioma duda ranch. Len'a father, Hamilton Hen lay, has acquired the Wagon Wheel by buying op th. notes and collateral of Bill Bardan from the Stata Bank of Ari zona after Burdan has come to him for A loan, which Henley refused. Len Hen ley meets the Wades, who have beat the Indictment th. Jnry brought against them for cattl, stealing. CHAPTER IV At four o'clock, while Ham Henley was still in his office, his son tele phoned and Jess Hubbell answered and identified himself. "Mr. Hub bell," said Len, "there's a story in this afternoon's Republican, and I want you to tell my father I didn't inspire it and that I'm sorry as I can be, because I know he loathes such publicity as much as I do." "He read it, Len." "What did he say?" "He said enough. Still he was in terested. You got any more money to bet on yourself versus Mad Hat ter? Your father sort of fancies the horse." "How much?" "Your bankroll is the limit." "I'll not risk my all, but I'll take tny father on for a thousand, if he'll give me three to one." "No more?" "Not another dime. And I wouldn't take the thousand except to oblige my affectionate father. Make a three-thousand-dollar check out to the secretary of the rodeo associa tion. My check will be there, too." "No, no, not that, Len, you im pulsive devil! We'd only have a big ger and better story on the front page of the morning paper. Wait until I confer with your father." In half a minute he came back on the line. "Your father says you're an unnatural son but he still thinks you're a gentleman and will pay your bets without the aid of a stake holder. He hopes you have an equal ly good opinion of him." "I'll admit everything except that he's an unnatural father. The worst I'll say about him is that he's a peculiar man and I don't under stand him. Tell him we have a bet and that I'll be in to collect it from him personally. If he thinks—" "Wait a minute, Len. Your fa ther's shouting something for me to tell you ... He wants to know, Len, if you know where old Bill Burdan and his wife are. He presumes you wintered on the Wagon Wheel as usual so you should know." "They're in town, but where I don't know. I have an idea they're staying with a distant relative. How ever, the old man arranged this morning to meet me at five-thirty, so I'll get his address then. Things have happened to the old folks and they've left the Wagon Wheel." There was a hiatus in the conver sation. Then: "Your father says he'll be obliged to you if you'll ask Burdan to call at this office at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." "Ask him if he's coming out to the rodeo tomorrow afternoon to see three thousand dollars hop from his pocket into mine." Another conversational relay. "Ha says he wouldn't miss it for consid erable." At half-past five Ma Burdan drove up in the station wagon and sitting beside her, looking quite happy for one in his desperate financial situa tion, was Pa Burdan. "Yi, yi-yi," he yipped. "Anybody home?" "Come in and bring Ma," Len shouted. When they entered Len kissed Ma and said, "Ain't love grand, Ma? It conquers all. Pa, while I think of it, my father would like to see you at his office about ten o'clock tomorrow morning." "I spoke to him twenty minutes ago, Len. He seen Ma an' me driv in' past his office an' flagged us." "Well, ho didn't git far with us," Ma declared belligerently. 'Guess what he wanted? Why, I never was more insulted in my life. He wanted us to give him a quit-claim deed to the home ranch an' assign the state land leases to him an' in return he'd give us five hundred dollars. Pa was for grabbin' it but I says 'Nothin' doin',' and threw in the gears an' left him standin' there." "We'd ought to have took it," Pa mourned. "We're goin' to lose ev erything anyhow. It'd been like pick in' five hundred dollars out o' the gutter." "You ol' hoot owl," Ma said mild ly. "That's just what Ham Henley hoped you'd thmk. How'd he treat you when you was in to see him about askin' him to help us? Why, he scolded you somethin' scandalous. He hurt your feelin's—an* them as hurts your feelin's, Pa, has got me to reckon with." "Don't know as I blame him, M? I didn't expect he'd help me; I ex pect I didn't have no right to a->k him to help me." "Nevertheless, Pa, I think Ma »ict ed with discretion in according his offer hor finest brand of contun ely, even if she didn't know it. Father must have called at the Wagon Wheel early this morning, because he passed me on the way in to Phot* n.x. He discovered you and Ma had abandoned the ranch, so inasmuch as l.e is a d'rectur of the State Bank TUF OANRirRY lIKI'OKTFR. OANHITRY. W. C.. THURSDAY. .IHI.V 13. 1914 at Prescott he probably telephoned them they'd have to move in and take charge without waiting for judgment on foreclosure suits. The court would grant them that privi lege on the proper representation, but the bank asked him to see you and get a quit-claim deed to the home ranch and a bill-of-sale to the cattle, to save legal expense and wastage and permit them to take over immediately. Did my father say, in consideration of your doing this, that the bank would not take a deficiency judgment against you?" "I didn't give him time to speak his piece," Ma declared proudly. "As soon as I realized he wanted something I made up my mind he wasn't goin' to get it." "He was only acting for the bank. I hear the bank will not make a cat tle loan he doesn't approve. I'm go ing to see him tomorrow evening and when I do I'll try to make a better deal for you. Meantime, keep away from him. Leave this to me." "You're the darlin'est boy," said Ma. "Ain't he, Pa? Oh, Len, why ain't you good friends with your fa ther so's he'd buy the Wagon Wheel for you? You'd let Pa come back an' work for you then, wouldn't you, hon ey? An' I could keep house for you an' look after you an' you wouldn't need to pay us much, because we wouldn't need much." "Are you going to divorce Pa?" he inquired wickedly. "I reckon not, Len. Seems like I got to put up with him." When Mary opened her door in response to Len's knock she saw standing before her, not the cowboy who had picked her up at Sughuaro that morning, but a gentleman of "Gimme!" the world, quite at ease in dinner clothes, overcoat and white silk muf fler. "Why, Doctor Jekyll," she ex claimed, "where did you leave Mr. Hyde?" lie did a little jig step. "Behold! This morning I was a chrysalis in my cocoon. Tonight I am a butter fly. I don't cheer for your simile, however. Dr. Jekyll used to dry gulch people, didn't he?" "Sound travels at the rate of at least a mile a second . . . How far is it from the corridor where you stood a moment ago, over the tran som and into my room?" "It appears I talked out of my turn," he replied without embar rassment. "Did you really mean what you said to those men, or were you just trying to frighten them?" "I wasn't blufling and I don't think th:y were particularly impressed. Thi-y aren't sufliciently intelligent." "This morning you decided you were too poor to buy the Wagon Wheel ranch. What have you been duing slice I saw you last? Playing the maiket or shooting craps?" "Neither. I have merely yielded to my luling impulse and that is to take a chance. 1 have often reflect ed on the pleasure to be derived from having a bank beg a favor of me—ir«d as 1 came up in the eleva tor ! realized how it could be done. I was inspired—and I accuse you of having been the source of the inspi ration." "Tell me," she urged. "I can finance the sort of deal I fiave in mind. I know I can. And as soon as I do I shall reopen the dude department of the Wagon Wheel ranch, install a competent cook and housekeeper and solicit your trade—as a non-paying guest." "I hope you can." He had two boxes under his arm and he gave her one. "There were only four orchids in town and I bought them. Here are your two. That green frippery dress, by the way, goes very well with your luiir, and I'm so glad you haven't green eyes. Your eyes have been bother ing me all day. I got the fool no tion they were groeu. Instead they're hazel." "The man earns his money riding bucking horses and spends it on or chids," she addressed a mythical third presence. "Easy come, easy go. Dor. Leonardo, for a blood thirsty wretch you're torribly nic® and thoughtful. Thank you." She went to her dressing table and pinned the corsage on; while she was doing this she said: "I read a piece about you this eve ning in the local paper." "I wish you hadn't." She no;lded. She could understand why that was so, and she felt sorry for both the Henleys. He stood in the doorway and thought: How love ly she is, how cool and poised. She's too exquisite to be other than a lady and too intelligent to pretend to be a greater lady than she is. She's the dude of all the world I "I hope you realize," she said, "that if I visit the Wagon Wheel ranch after you acquire it you'll have to provide a chaperon." "I am about to introduce you to a chaperon to end all chaperons. I call her my Aunt Margaret, but that's just a hold-over from boy hood's happy hours. She was my mother's bride's-maid. Widow-wom an, as we say out here." Mrs. Maxwell opened the door to Len's ring and said "Hello, Len. Come in, Miss Sutherland. You're as welcome as the Henley boy—and he has the run of the premises." Mary was startled and confused for a moment, but her sense of hu mor bridged the situation. She held out her hand and commanded, "Gimme!" and Margaret Maxwell solemnly laid a silver dollar in the open palm. "I ain a very curious woman, Miss Sutherland. I had to see promptly whether or no you measured up to your advance no tices. Thank God, you do." "You're sly but likeable," Mary replied and in the good humor thus engendered they entered. "A votive offering for you, Aunt Margaret," said Len and handed her the box he was carrying. H& stepped across the room, his hand outstretched to an oldish man who rose as they en tered. "Hello, pappy," he cried heartily, jerked his father to him and ran his other hand through Hamilton Henley's hair. "You've turned roan since I saw you last." "An' you've thickened up a lot, son." Ham Henley turned toward Mary and bowed. "I think I saw you ridin' down the road with my son this n irnin', miss." "Miss A.ary Sutherland, pappy. Miss Mary, this is my old man." Ham Henley gave her a mild handshake, looked her over swiftly but with an intensity that told her he had missed nothing and then shifted his gaze to his son. "Mar garet didn't tell me you were going to drop in," he said. "You needn't explain. She didn't tell me either, old-timer. What a lot of delight we'd miss if women weren't so fond of surprise parties." "I reckon they invented Santa Claus, son." "Orchids," Mrs. Maxwell cried, delighted. "Len, you're a dear. I haven't had an orchid since you were here a year ago. I should like to assure you that such extrava gance is sinful, only I don't think it is when I'm on the receiving end. Len, your father tells me you are retiring from the rodeo circuit when the Phoenix rodeo closes." "Jess Hubbell gave me that mes sage," Ham Kenley said anxiously. "1 hope he got It straight." "He did, sir." Mary helped serve the cocktails and Len passed a plate of hors d'oeuvres. "Don Leonardo's a pig," she declared. "He wouldn't wait for you two. He insisted on having one drink with me." "I had to test your liquor. Aunt Margaret," he defended, "to make | certain you weren't feeding us tight- I ing whisky." He clinked his glass J against his father's. "How, Hamil ■ ton, old sport. This time tomorrow night you'll be three thousand del j lars poorer and I'll be six thousand dollars richer. And that will const 1 I tute an accomplishment. It need# ; a good man to nick you thu' deep i b'." "I can enjoy losing that bet, my i son. An' there's other ways not so hard o' pry in' money out o' me if you need it." "Have you made a bet with Don i Leonardo, Mr. Henley, that he will ' not conquer that horse, Mad Hat ter?" Mary asked. ; "I have, young lady, and how come you call him Don Leonardo?" Mary flushed a little. "I heard his man, Pedro, call him that and it seemed to me the form of address | fitted him. Anyhow. I have a habit I of coining pet names for people I j like and I like your son because he's ' terribly nice and amusing." "Yes, I reckon he is pretty nice, j young lady. In fact, I never knew | him nicer than he is today. His de cision to quit the rodeo nonsense 1 certainly makes me happy." "1 wish I could believe I have ! contributed to this reorganization ot your son's social consciousness, Mr. Henley, but I f»ar his decision to i engage in some less dangerous and j more dignified method of making « ! livelihood is the result of his »;>ir,tu j al growth—a sort of mile-stone in lut evolution.
