Sandy went to the door and hailed
Sum and Mormon. They came to the
office escort Ins Blake, whose fox-face
moved from aide to side with furtive
eyes as if he smelled a trap.
"We want the list of the folks you
unloaded Molly "stock to," said Sandy.
Blake looked at his employer who
sat glowering at his cigar end, licked
Ms lips and said nothing.
"Tell him, you d—d fool!" grunted
Keith.
"The stubs are In the car at Here
ford depot." said Blake. "In the safe."
"Money there, too? 1 suppose you
cashed the checks?"
"I deposited them to my own ac
count," said Keith. "Come on, let's
get this over with since you are de
termined to throw away your own
and your partners' good money, to say
nothing of the girl's. She could bring
suit against you. Bourke, with a good
chance of winning."
He glanced liopefi'Aly at Mormon
and Sam. They kept on grinning.
"Round up that chauffeur. Sam.
will you?" asked Sandy. "Tell him
we're startln* fo' Herefo'd right off."
Kate Nicholson and Miranda Bailey
were on the ranch-house veranda.
"Could I ask you to mail these let
ters, Mr. Keith? Two of Molly's and
one of my own." Kate Nicholson ad
vanced toward him, the letters In
hand. With n spurt of fury Keith
snatched at the letters and threw
them on the ground.
"To h —l with you!" he shouted, his
face empurpled. "You're fired!" All
of his polish stripped from him like
peeling veneer, he appeared merely a
coarse bully.
Sam came up the veranda in two
Jumps awl a final l?ap that left blm
with his hands entwined In Keith's
coal collar. He whirled 'hat astound
ed person half around and slammed
him up against the wall of the ranch
house, rumpled, gasping, with trem
bling hands that lifted before the
menace of Sam's gun.
"I oughter shoot the tongue out of
you befo' I put a slug through yore
head," said Sam, standing In front of
the promoter, tense as a Jaguar
couched for a spring, bis eyes glitter
ing, his voice packed with venom.
"You git down on yo' knees, you ring
tailed skunk, an' apologize to this
lady. Crook yo' knees, you stinkin'
polecat, an' crawl. 11l make you lick
her shoes. Down with you or I'll
send you straight to judgment!"
"No, Sam, Mr. Manning—it Isn't
necessary," protested Kate Nicholson.
"Please . . ."
Sam looked at her cold-eyed.
"This is inv party." he said. "It'll
do him goodC I'll let him off lickln'
yo' shoes, lie might spile the leather.
But he'll git them letters lie chucked
away, git Vm on all-fours, like the
eneakln', sllnkln', douhle-crossin' coy
ote he Is. Crook yo' knees first an'
apologize!" u

through the planking of the ranch
lymse between bis trembling knees.
"I regiet. Miss Nicholson,", he com
menced huskily, "that I l«t my temper
get the butler of me. I was greatly
upset. In the matter of your services
I was—er —doubt left* hasty. It can
be arranged."
He shrank at the tap ol Sam's gun
on his shoulder, wilting ta Ids knees.
"She w'udn't work fo* you fo' the
time It taken a rabbit to dodge a rat
tler," said Sam. "She never did work
fo' yon. It -was Molly's money paid
her. Kale's *oln' to stay right here

Catching Kate Nicholson's gaze, the
admiring look of a woman who has
■ever before been championed, con
scious of the tmrt that he had hlnrtM
•wl her Christian mom and disclosed
the secret of that touch of intimacy
between theta, Kan grew crimeon
tt» rough kla in. Kat* Nicholson's
face was rosy; both were etnbar
• rassed.
d "Thank you, Mr. Manning," she
e said. "Please let him get up, and put
e away., your pistol."
e "Git up," said Sam, "an' go pick up
them letters."
u Keith gathered up - the envelopes
'■ and presented tlieio. with a bow,, to
0 the governess. He had recovered
J partial poise and his face was pale
as wnx, his eyes evil.
J "I'll mall them, Miss Nicholson."
said Sandy. "Let's go." He took
i- Sam aside as the car swung round
" and up to the porch. "Sammy," San
j dy's eyes twinkled, "1 didn't sabe you
an' Miss Nicholson was so well ac
- qualnted."
s Same looked his partner In the eyes
f- and used almost the same words for
1 which he had just tamed Keith. But
Y lie said them with a smile.

j »••«•••
Creel, president of the Hereford
l National bank, a banker keen at a
bargain,., shot out Ids underlip when
. Keith, wltfi Sandy in attendance,
i tendered him the money for all shares
of the Molly mine sold In Hereford,
>• Including his own.
"You say the mine has petered
- ojtr* he asked Keith, with ralpable
1 suspicion. Keith glsnced swiftly at
- Sandy sitting across the table from
l him In the little directors' room back
i of the bank proper. Sandy sat sphlnx
r like. As If by accident, his hands
were on his hips, the fingers resting
3 on his gun butts.
1 "That Is the news from my superln
» tendent," said Keith. {'l wish I could
i doubt It. Under the' circumstances,
consulting with Mr. Bourke, who rep
t resents the majority stock, we con
i eluded there was no other action for
? us to take but to recall the shares,
- although the money had actually
1 passed."
"Humph!" Keith's suavity did not
- appear; entirely to smooth down
; Creel's chagrin at losing what he had
considered a good thing. He smelt a
f mouse somewhere. "There are only
i two reasons for repurchasing ' such
r stock," he said crisply. "The course
p you take Is rarely honorable and sug
gests credit. The sepond rea
son would be a strike of rich ore
rather than a failure."
i "I will guarantee the failure, Creel,"
' said Sandy. "If, at any time, a strike
; Is made In the Molly, I shall be- glad
I to transfer to you personally the
same amount shares from my own
holdln's. I'll put that In wrltin', If
. you prefer It."
"No," said Creel. "It ain't neces
sary." He glumly made the retrans-
I fer. Sandy vluted Keith's accounts
• and took Keith's check for the bal
ance, placing it to a pergonal account
I for Molly. The check was on thf
. Hereford bank anil It practically ex
hausted Keith's local resources.
Keith's powerful car made nothing
of the few miles between Hereford
■ and the Three Stat and It was only
mid-afternoon when they arrived.
Mo'iy and Donald Keith were still ab
sent, there was no sign of Brandon.
♦ ••••••
Keith stayed In Ills car, smoking,
Ignoring the very existence of the
ranch and Its people. The afternoon
wore on with the sun dropping grad
ually toward the last quarter of the
day's march. At four o'clock one of
the Three Star riders came In at a
gallop, carrying double. Behind him,
clinging tight, was Donald Keith, woe
begone. almost exhausted, his trim
riding clothes snagged and soiled, his
shining puttees scuffed and scratched.
He staggered as he slid out of the
saddle and clung to the cantle, head
sunk on arms until Sandy took him
by the arm. Keith sprang from his
car and came over. Sam and Mor
mon hurried up.
"What's this?" demanded Keith
angrily, suspicion rife In his voice.
"I picked him up three mile' back,
hoofin' It. He was headln' fo* Bitter
Flats but 1 e wanted the ranch," snld
the cowboy to Sandy, ignoring Keith.
"We burned wind an' leather comin'
In, seeln' Jim I'limsoll an' some of
his gang have made off with Miss
Molly •"
"NVhere'd this happen?" demanded
Sandy. "Sam, go git Pronto fo' me
an' saddle tip."
"That's thg h—l of It," said the
rider. -"The pore d—n fool don't
know; Plumb loco! Scared fo death.
Been v.underln' round sence afore
noon."
Donald Keith sagged suddenly and
Sandy picked the lad up In his arms,
strode with him to the car and laid
him on the cushions.
"(Jit some water." he ordered
Keith. "We've got no llcker on the
ranch."
Keith bent, o pencil a shallow
drawer beneath the seat and produced
a sliver fij.sk. He unscrewed the top
and poured some liquor Into It. San
dy raised the boy's head and lifted
the whisky to his pallid Hps, gray as
bis face where the flesh matched the
powdery alkali that covered It.
The cordial trickled down and Don
ald's eyes opened. Almost Immediate
ly color came back Into his cheeks
and llpa and he tried to sit ip. Sandy
helped him.
"Eow, sonny," be ald. "Tell us
about It. Where did you leave
? Molly?"
t "I don't know Just where. I wasn't
noticing just which way we- rode. She
) did the leading. I don't know how I
ever g6t back."
* "Didn't she tell you where you
) were makln' fo'?"
1 "She didn't name It. It was a little
- lake in some canyon where Molly said
there used to be beavers."
"Beaver Dam canyon," said Sandy
f exultantly. "You left here 'bout
I seven. How fast did you trail?"
"We walked the horses most of the
' time. It was all uphill. And I looked
■ at my watch a little before It hap
pened. It was a quarter of eleven.
' We saw some men ahead of us. Molly
' wondered who they could be. Then
t tliey disappeared. We were riding In
a pass and two of them showed again,
coming out of tlie trees ahead of us.
One of tliein, on a big black horse,
I held up iiis hand."
1 "Jim Pllmsoll!"
i "Yes. Molly recognized lilni and
. spoke to him to get out of the trail.
' Grit wns trailii'g us.' Pilinsoll
. wouldn't move. I heard more horses
hack of us and I turned to look. Two
I more men were coming up beh'nd.
' Molly; spurred Blaze on and cut at
I'limsoll with her quirt. He grabbed
' her hand with his left. Grit sprang
up at him and he got out Ills gun from
■ the shoulder sling and shot lilin."
i "Shot the dawg? Hit him?"
! "Yes, in the leg. He fired at him
again, but Grit got into the brush."
"Jest what were you doin' all the
I time?" Sandy knew the lad was a
tenderfoot, knew he would have been
small use on such an occasion, but
the thought of Grit rising to the res
cue, falling back shot, brought the
taunt.
"The two men behind told me to
throw up my hands," said young
Keith, his face reddening. "What
could I do?"
"Nothin", son. You c'dn't have done
a thing. Go on."
"Plimsoil twisted Molly's wrist so
that tile quirt fell to the ground. The
man who was with lilni tossed his
rope over her and they twisted It
round her arms. I had the muzzle
of a rifle poked Into my ribs. They
made nie get off my horse. And they
made me walk back along the trail.
They fired bullets each side of me and
laughed at me when I dodged." Don
ald'p eves were filled with tears of
self-pity and the remembrance of his
helpless rage. "1 didn't know what
to do. I couldn't rescue Molly with
out a horse. I only had a revolver
against their rifles and I'm not much
of a shot. I tried to get back here
but It was hard to find the way, I
was all In when your man found me."
"All right, my stn. Keith, I'm go-
In' to borrow that flask of yores.
Alight need It."
He Jumped from the car, flask In
hand, and ran to the ranch house.
Kate„l>yfliolson met him as he en
tered. "Has anything happened to
Molly?" she gasped.
"That's what I'm goin' to find out,"
Sandy answered. "Mormon, git me
my cartridge belt an' some extry
shells fo' my rifle."
"You nln't takln' Sam?" asked Mor
mon, returning with the cartridge
belt, Sandy's rifle and a box of shells.
"Sam ain't comin'," said Sandy, fill
ing his rifle magazine and breech,
stowing away extra clips. "I'm goin'
In alone. Mo'n one 'ud be likely to
spoil sign. Mormon, mo'n one is like
ly to advertise we're eoniln'. They're
liable to leave a lookout. PllmsoH's
clearin' out of the country an' I'm
Irallin' him clear through h—l If 1
have to. Ef he's ha fried Molly I'll
stake him out with a green hide
wrapped around him an' his eyelids
sliced off. I'll sit in the shade an"
watch him frizzle an' yell when the
hide shrinks in the sun. This is my
private play. Mormon. You an - Sam
can hack It up, but I'm bandlin' the
cards."
He left the room and they saw blm
covering the ground In a wolf trot to
where Sam, astride Ids own favorite
mount, held Pronto ready saddled.
They saw Sam's protest, Sandy's vlg
oroii£ overruling of It, and then Sandy
was up-snddle and away at ;i brisk
lope with Sam gazing after I , dis
consolately. Keith's car was turning
for the trip to Hereford, spurning the
dust of the Three Star ranch forever
—and not iamented.
Sandy, his eyes like the mica flaktu
that show In gray granite, his humor
ous mouth a stern line, little bunches
of muscles at the Junction of Ids jaws,
held the pinto to a steady lope that
ate up the ground, drifting straight
and fast across country for the open
ing In the mesa that he had marked
as the short-cut to the spot descrilied ,
by Donald Keith. Every now anil i
then he talked his thoughts aloud, as ,
the lonely rider will and. If the pinto |
could not understand, he listened j
with pricked ears. ,
"Grit must ITave bcen hurt prltty f
had. I'm afraid. Wonder who the |
three were with I'limsoll?' They've
gone to the Hldconl an' we got to find j
It, IIT bawss. Some Job, I reckon t
But Pllmsolt's goin' to be mighty I

•Sandy was a crucible ailed witti
glowing white fury. Thoughts of
what lUimsoll might achieve In Insult
and injury to Molly could not he kepi
out of his mind nnd they but added
fuel. It was not Sandy Bourke of the
Three Bar, riding his favorite pinto,
but a desperate man on a horse in
fected with the same grim determina
tion, a man with a face that, despite
the fiery heal within, blazing from his
eyes, would have chilled the blood of
any meeting him.
The place It had taken .Molly and
young Keith nearly three hours to
reach In leisurely fashion, Sand.v
gained In one, splashing through the
shallows of Willow creel# at the ford
below the big bend and giving I'ronto
the chance to cool his fetlocks and
rinse out his mouth in the cold water. |
Ahead lay the chimney ravine thai
led around Into Beaver Dam canyon
In which Molly and the boy had been !
attacked. Sandy rode 011 down the
narrow trail. Once In a while be
broke a branch and left It swinging as :
a guide to Sam when he should fel
low with the riders from the ranch. ,
The tracks of Molly's Blaze and the

horse Donald had been riding were
plain as print to Sandy. He even
noticed the slot of Grit's pads here
and there in softer soil.
The place of the struggle was plain
The brush was trampled. To one
ilde of the trail there was a clot of
blood, almost black, with flies buzzing
attention to It. It must have come
from Grit.
"I'll score one fo' you, Grit, while 1
I'm about It," muttered Sandy as be
dismounted anil carefully surveyed
the sign. Six horsea had gone on,
one led.
Sandy swung up the heavy stirrups '
and tied them above the saddle Rest, ,
He atrlpped the reins from the bridle j
and pulled down I'ronto's wise head. 1
"Hit the back-trail to' home, IIT ,
liawss," he said. "If I need me n
mount to git back I'll borrow one. I
got to go belly-trallln' prltty soon."
He gave the pinto a cautious slap j
on the flank and Pronto started ofl !
down the trail. So far Sandy be- j
lleved he had not been seen. If h* 1
bad, a rifle-shot would have been the j
first warning.
A blizzard hung In the eprly eve ;
nlng sky, circling high and then sud
denly dropping in a swoop.
"Looks like Grit's cashed In." j
thought Sandy. "That bird was s
late coiner, at that."
But, It was not Grit.
The ravine curved, forked. One j
way led to Beaver Dam lake, the j
other rifted deep through rocky out- 1
crop, leading to the Waterllne range i
The boundary fence crossed It. Two |
posts had been broken out, the wire i
flattened. Through the gap led the '
sign that Sandy followed. The clouds |
were assembling for sunset overhead, |

cllfTs, beginning to send out a meas- 1
ure of reflected light. A beam struck
a little cylinder, the emptied shell of j
a thlrty-thlHy rifle. There wns an
other close by. And scanty soil wa«
marked with iriore hoofs. Sandy ball
ed, wondering the key to the puzzle
Did it mean a quarrel between film- j
soil's men? Altogether he figured
there had been a dozen horses over j
the ground. It was only a swift guest

Walking cat-footed, he made no
sound but suddenly three buzzardi
rose on heavy wings and he weni
swiftly to where they had been squat
ting. A dead man lay up against the
cliff, a saddle bla.iket thrown ovet
his face. This had held off the car

still warm, It had been a corpse onlf
a short time. Sandy took off thi
