MOUNTAIN
MAN ;
CHAPTER XXI
In matters of rodeo entertain
ment. Tom Temple was no short,
horn. He knew the fundamentals,
plenty of action and plenty to eat
and how to supply them. This was
his day.
About noon Breck came over the
ridge trail and halted his party
where they could look down on the
cattleman's meadow. The scene had
changed miraculously. The camp
that had always been a quiet, se
cluded spot, now swarmed with life;
horses filled the corrals and were
tied among the trees; men and girls
moved in front of the cabins; smoke
rose from barbecue pits in a clear
ing close to the stream; and the
forest echoed with shouts, talk and
laughter.
"Looks like quite a fiesta," the
Senator observed, halting beside
Breck.
The party moved down and was
at once engulfed by the fiesta. Eat
ing had already begun, with Temple
himself, red-faced, beaming behind
his gray beard, master of ceremo
nies at the barbecue pit. He wielded
a long knife over quarters of beef,
raked potatoes from the coals,
poured coflee from five-gallon pots,
and all the while kept up a running
banter with those who passed
around him.
"Howdy, ranger folks!" he called,
brandishing his knife, "grub's up;
set in!"
Sutherland waved to him. Irene
nodded, though her eyes were
sweeping over the throng. Breck,
too, scanned the faces, looking for
Louise. Presently he saw her sit
ting on a log near her cabin, a cow
boy on either side and two standing
in front. AIL were thoroughly -enjoying
themselves and the sight
brought a sudden stab of jealousy.
But Breck's duty was with the Suth-
erlands. lie felt responsible for
them, and so while Cook rode off
with the horses, he found places
Where they might sit, then, with the
Senator, began to bring food,
Irene shrieked at the slabs of
meat he brought. "My dear, a whole
cow! Please give me just the leg."
As men passed with steaks in
their hands, or gnawing a roasted
rib, she stared in amazement. "I
never saw anything like it!"
Friendships started easily. In
time the Senator had launched an
argument with a storekeeper from
Lone Tree, and Mrs. Sutherland and
Irene had found another party of
tourists. Immediately Breck took
advantage of that to go on a quest
of . his own. But in crossing the
grounds he came upon J. G. jack
son and some of the cowboys he
had not seen since the fight on
Black Mountain. And then by the
time he could get away, the riding
had started.
A gun-shot drew men swarming
to'the corral fence. Inside, horses
were being roped and saddled. He

The riding had started.
saw Louise come from her cabin
and vanish through the gate.
He stood watching from a dis
tance, his eyes running over lines of
men upon the fence and others
lounging back in the trees, and it
came to him that there was not a
Tillson among them. Nor had Si
erra appeared yet. Abruptly he
turned and walked back to the bar
becue pit where he , had last seen
Cook.:' ,- : V'.',--'
The ranger was still there, having
a sociable bite with Temple. Breck
motioned to him. Cook approached.
"What is it, young fellow?"
' "What about Slim?"
"Ought to be here any minute.
He's late, but might have been held
in town for some reason."
Breck nodded. "And the Till-
sons?" '
Cook scowled. "That's different.
I was asking Tom if he'd seen 'era.
They haven't been around, and I
can't figure it out."
"You don't think it looks bad for
SierraT"
"No, not that. They're up to some
other kind of a deal."
"Yes, and it's going to be from
the bottom of the stack!" Breck as
serted. "Anything you want me to
do?"
"Just go on with the show, young
fellow."
But Breck lost interest in the show
as the afternoon passed and Sierra
did not appear. Cook was right;
Slim could take care of himself, and
they could do no better than wait;
yet inaction became unbearable,
Breck watched the rodeo with sight
less eyes, knowing vaguely that wild
horses were being ridden and men
thrown, but his thoughts could not
be centered there, -
At dusk he sought Cook again,
having worked himself into a fine
turbulence.
The ranger checked him with a
look. "Unstring yourself," he said.
"No need tp worry about Sierra,
and you're missing a lot of fun
around here. God knows you may
need it. Have you seen Louy?"
He had not.
Cook grinned. "There's going to
be a dance, you know."
Relieved by the old ranger's un
perturbed manner, Breck went at
once in search of Louise. Temple
said she was in her cabin, fixing up.
Breck knocked on the door.
"Just a minute," she called out;
then womanlike took half an hour.
When she appeared, she had
changed into a dress of something
pink, and, as once before, he felt
he was gazing at a new girl, al
most a stranger.
"Do you see a ghost?" she
teased.
"No; an angel."
"Now, now!"
Breck smiled and took her hand.
"You're real enough. I've come to
fill my dance card. Every other
number, Louise."
"What?"
"I mean it; I'm that selfish. Will
you save tlu-m?"
She hesitated. "You don't want
every other dance with me. That
wouldn't be fair to your guest."
"I think my guest understands."
Louise shook her head. "No; I
can't promise you."
"Then the first and third," he de
manded. "We can see about the
rest later."
A fire of logs in a clearing beyond
the cabins lighted the whole camp,
bringing fences, tree trunks, people
into red relief against the blackness
outside. Three cowboys with a sax
aphone, a fiddle, and guitar
marched toward the fire and sat on
stumps nearby. Men and girls
surged onto a square of hard-packed
ground and, with partners chosen,
waited for the music to begin.
Brock turned, laughing, as he
drew Louise to him. At the same
moment he saw Irene watching
from a distance. A cowboy stood
at her side, She held back a min
ute, looking across, then stifily took
his arm.
The music Was all but lost in the
shuffling and babble of voices. Yet
the guitar strummed out its rhythm,
and there was plenty of space about
the blazing logs. Brock found him
self moving with Louise as if in
some firelight promenade.
They danced in silence. Tonight
there was that sweet, yielding qual
ity about Louise which made con
versation needless. She seemed
content held close in his arms as
they slowly circled. Brock felt a
quick, new thrill sweeping his
thoughts clear of all troubles.
The music stopped. Louise drew
away. Breck came back to reali
ties at the sound of his own voice.
"That was an awfully short dance."
She smiled up in complete under
standing. "Wasn't it, though."
The second began at once and a
jovial-faced cowhand from Jack
son's outfit rushed up to claim her.
"Remember," Brock called in
parting, "we're next again."
He strode away to where he had
last seen Irene, wondering how she
would meet him, being prepared for
petulance, or disdain, or even flat
Cutting.'
, Yet she turned from her first part
ner with a gay laugh, sent the boy
off grinning and held out her two
hands.
. "Gordon; isn't this wild! Don't
you adore it? I'm having simply a
grand time ! " She slipped into his
.arms readily. "Don't let's miss any
thing!" :;:' .
Surprised, though concealing it,
Breck tried to enter her talkative
mood. How different from the last
dance where nothing need be said.
He made conversation to continue
Irene's frivolous banter.
She closed her eyes dreamily and
when they passed Louise the first
time was apparently unaware of it.
Then other couples swept about
them and for several minutes they
were among strangers.
Irene clung close to him. Once
she looked into his face, half ex
plaining, "The ground is getting
rough."
When Louise again approached
from beyond the fire, Breck uncon
sciously moved from Irene's grasp.
She glanced up. "Is the dance
ended, Gordon?" She was tall, and
nowj tilting her head, brought her
lips almost to his.
"No," he answered, "but . . ."
Swiftly she silenced him with a
kiss, long, warm, full upon his
mouth.
He threw his head back, halting.
Cowhands grinned. Louise, passing
near his shoulder, stared once and
turned away.
He pushed out to the throng's
edge, and releasing Irene, save for
bis hand clenched about one wrist.

ne wniriea ner savagely into the
shadows of the pines. Fury choked
nun. Words burst uncontrolled.
"That was cheap, Irene! Cheap
ens me ana makes you low in the
eyes of everyone here! Not a girl
out there would do it. Not like
that!"
Irene faced him defiantly. "Oh
good Lord I Since when have you
turned Puritan? Of course you have
never kissed at a dance before I"
"These people are different,"
Breck flared. "They take things in
a different way. And you knew it."
"Well?"
Breck stared at her. "We know
each other pretty well, Irene. But
I never thought you would try to
make me a fool among my friends."
"No, Gordon, someone else has
done that." Her hand reached to
ward him.
He avoided it. "So you're saving
me?"
Irene shrugged.
"Thanks," Breck finished. "You
might have taken a better time and
place."
"Run along!" Irene retorted, with
head up, lips in a sarcastic smile.
"My cowboy friend has this next.
and I know she's waiting for you."
The dance had ended. Breck re
turned into the light.
Louise was standing away from
the crowd. He wanted to rush to
her, take her in his arms; but she
met him with level, unsmiling eyes.
"I think," she said, "this is our
dance. I'd rather sit it out."
"Sit?" Breck demanded. "You
ask me to sit still?"
They walked in silence back to a
shadowed path.
Suddenly he began. "You saw
that, of course. I'm sorry. It didn't
mean a thing."
"Oh, didn't it?" She stopped, her
arm remaining impassively in his
grasp.
"No!"
She gava a strained little laugh.
"A girl kisses a man, and it doesn't
mean a thing! How strange; I al
ways thought it did." She turned
from him; the laughter died from
her voice and her next words were
tense with controlled feeling.
"I'm a girl, with a girl's view.
Maybe we are silly sometimes, but
no girl would kiss you like that with.
out the right some previous right,
I suppose. Now, hadn't you better
go back to her?"
"Louise," Brock pleaded, "you
must understand me. I have known
her a long time; once we were en
gaged. But it was not love and we
found it out. You surely realize
what happened tonight! Irene did
that for a purpose . . . in front of
you."
He looked at her, smiling a little.
"I'm a man and not supposed to
know about women's technique; but
Still I'm not blind."
She would not face him.
"Louise!" he begged, throwing
one arm about her waist.
"Stop right there, Ranger! I've
been waiting for that!"
The voice came from behind him,
somewhere in the dark. Brock
whirled, one band falling to his gun.
"Hold it! Keep 'em tip!" A mount
ed man burst from the trees. Breck
looked up at Art Tillson.' towering
above him, and then into the round
black bore of a pistol.
The cowboy sat in his saddle un
steadily, his left hand gripping the
horn; hntless-,... without n coat, and
his horse was lathered from hard
running.
"Louise," he said thickly, "you
get back!"
Breck pushed her into the shad
ows. Then he faced young Tillson.
"Art," he snapped, "you're drunk.
Put aWay that gun and get out of
here! "
"Wha-a-a-t?" Art -leered in mock
wonder, leaning .far over until his
face came close to Breck's. .-."You
tollin' me 1o get out? So's you can
go back to the dance? Nice, all
right. You with two women an'
me with none. I'm nolhin' but a
mountain fool that it?"
Suddenly his mood, changed. His
face turned to that of a fiend, set
with a cold, bloodless look. Breck
heard the gun's hammer Click; then
a gasp of terror from behind him.
"I'm going to kill you!" The
words gritted out from clenched
teeth. The gun moved.
