J 'Chapter ) IN a fenced-off clearing on the fringe of a grove of tal) Cot tonwood trees, eleven men wrth bared, bowed heads, stood look ing down upon a freshly heaped grave. -There was too movemenj among tfr m. no sound,. Standing on the opposite side of the mound was a tall, lean youth with steady, bitter eyes and tight ened mouth framed in a sufl bronzed face that was topped by a biyishly tousled head of blond hair. He towered above the other men. When he squared his shoulders and straightened up and hitched up his belt it was an indication that the simple service was over. They walked off withput a word. It was only when a slim girl appeared and stepped toward the ?:rave that the bitter-eyed younc ellow exhibited any interest " She knelt at the side of the mound and he saw her lips move in prayer. Presently she arose, turned away without a word or even a glance in his direction, and marched oft. He followed her with his eyes . . . there was an other grave a short distance away. The girl stopped beside it, knelt down. When she came erect a minute later, she turned her head and their eyes met. "I'm Cathy Ballard," she said simply. "I'm terribly sorry about your father." "My stepfather, y'mean," he said curtly. "Yes, I meant to say your stepfather," she said. "He told me all about you. I think I'd have known you from his description of you even if I had never seen those rodeo posters or heard someone say you were George Akers." His mouth seemed to tighten even more than before. "He knew all about your work with the rodeo. He was awf'lly proud of your reputation as a trick rider and expert roper." "You seem t' know lots about 'lm' he said. . . "He was like a father to me." ' "That's moreV he was t' me," he answered. His eyes halted on the grave with the white cross above it. "Whose is that?" "My . father's. He was foreman of the Circle-A," she explained. "He was killed about four months ago." "Where d'you live? Here? By self?" "Yes ... in the cottage behind the big house. I've always lived there. I was born there. He was silent again. "I suppose," she continued Fresently. "I should tell you that m going to be your first prob lem. Nettie Martin. . . She knelt at the side of the mound and he saw her lips move in prayer. "Martin?" he repeated. "Oh, yeah I He's the foreman, ain't he?" "Yes. We-11, Nettie wants to move into the cottage." "And what are you supposed f do?" "Move out," she answered. "1 don't want to. That's what makes it a problem, and you'll have to decide it." "H'm," he said. "Where are they livin'?" "In the big house." "What's the matter with that?" he demanded. "Ain't that good enough for th'm?" "It s just that Nettie wants her own place. I suppose every wo man does." "Oh," he said, and looked away again. "Then maybe you oughta move out. Swap with th'm, I mean." "Very well. If that's the way you want it." He turned to her again. There was a frown on his face. "Wait a minute," he said. "Don't do it b'cause you think I want you to. I won t be around here long enough t' care a hoot who lives where, or even why." "You mean you're. . . ." 'This place may be home t' you," he said coldly, interrupting her. "It ain't t' me." "But the Circ'eTA is yours now," she said protestinfc.y. Yo can't just leave it to itself and go off again. You can't . . "Look, sister," he said curtly. "I'm free, white and over twenty one. I do's I please and no buta about it Get It?" , ...... He hitched up hit belt, bK more viciously than was neces sary, turned on his . heel-' and stalked off. v i "UEY, Georgel" a voice called LI and the angry youth (topped and looked back over his shoul-' der. It was Phil Martin who had ha'led him. "Got a minute?" - "Yea, sure," George replied. ' The foreman, a pleasant-faced six-footer, came striding up to him. . "I know this ain't the time f start talkin' business," Martin' said apologetically. "But there are a couple o' things that e'n stand 'tendin' to, so soon's you feel up to it you holler f r mey will you?" "You'd better get hold o' Judge Scott. He c'n tell you what V do." Martin looked surprised. - "I ain't .akin' anything over. I'm leavin' here t'morrow." 1 '"Oh!" the foreman said for want of something better to say. "How'd Tex get it?" "'O-h, it wai down In Corbm'a place in town, y'know. Seems Tex was standin' at the bar when 'n argument come up. Two fellers caught slugs in their shoulders, another feller got nicked on thi. jaw and Tex was sprawled Out on the floor with a bullet right smack in 'is heart." "Corbin, did you say?" -"Yeah. Know 'im?" "I know of 'im, and from what I've heard tell of 'im, he's bad medicine." i "Corbin had been pesterln':,or Tex f death, tryin' tr get him V sell out." "And Tex wouldn't." "He finally wound up by tellih" Corbin f get offa the Circle-A and to stay off." "What gave Corbin the idea that the Circle-A could be bought?" "We-11," lirtin began. "Under stand rustliir got pretty bad f'r a spell and cut deep into the herd." "Fr'm what I've been told about Corbin, he ain't the ranchirt' kind. Then why would he be aftei spread that needs tendin' to 4U the time?" "You got me," the forem m said. "Look, George. . . ." "Yeah?" "We could do things with t ia Circle-A, you an' me. What d'y u say, George . . . how 'bout giv n' it a whirl, huh?" "Nope.

Lead is absolutely vital to telephone service. Today it would require a pole 1000 feet high to hold all of the con necting telephone wires now placed in a single 3-inch lead-covered cable. Lead continues to be in short supply with vital atomic research hiving first claim. The telephone industry like other industries receives only a rationed quota. Our expansion program, although proceeding at a fast pace, would be completed even faster if it were not for this continued shortage of vitally needed lead.
