Tsmsc THIRD INSTALMENT •TNOPS18—Three veeks *ft- y ■ ereaio colored roadster had IksB fodnd wrecked ta the sea at y* toet of a cliff, a girl calling ■nnit Anne Gushing appears, at aw'Mlesert town Marston. She Mm honght, sight unseen, a ranch Ikyted thirty miles away. Barry Aaaae, her nearest neighbor, and Ma man, Boone Petry, procure a yMahle woman for her and in WMrrr’B car, loaded down with ■Wlies, they start across the dknrt. In Marston her reticence Baa aroused suspicion. The glimpse was only a gltepee, passing as quickly as it Bai come. The car gave a jolt of BMdaat and slanted oft obliquely Saom the road they had been fol- Maifaig. She had wanted privacy nad here it was. “Kow,” said her host cbeer- we are aiming straight— mare or less straight—for your wntch The real road is back of ELSE WANTS TO mvE HONEY ON TIRES ? lOO'f- 1 A.50.S0 • 1 ■ . yj*® I 5.00 > • OENUINE Goodrich QUALITY CAVALIERS at the price of *bar3ain-built^^ tires T hink of it!

This is Just your short cut to it. See that little jag in the hUls? Your ranch is right bdlow that, in a valley.” She looked at it with sharpen ed interest. A valley sonnded nice; sort of snug and tucked away. The agent had told her that a stream ran through the ranch. She hoped that was true, but she did not ask Barry Duane. The bills were coming closer and a slow rise of land began to be spotted thinly with dwarf evergreens. Higher slopes tower ed ahead, great, wrinkled, rocky folds, almost black In shadow. Further south, where the car was heading were long, thinly wooded ridges. Lying lonely but protected, there was a little val ley. Anne had a glimpse of willows and cottonwoods, hugging what mast be a little creek. There was water! They swept in with a trium phant burst of speed, past a strip of fence with tired looking posts and discouraged wire, past a ragged field or two, catching sight of a lovely meadow. “Here we are,” said Barry Duane, “at Cushing’s Ranch. You mustn’t judge It by first appear ances, because a handy man with a hammer and a few nails can work miracles.” His voice sounded nervous. They were all looking at her, a little anxiously. She began to laugh. Softly at first, but with a swelling note. This was her ranch, hers, bought insanely over the counter In a dusty little office in a small town. “The dear little funny old thing! I don’t mind if it's run down. It’s mine! And I’m .going to have orange curtains at the windows. Flaming orange! Let's explore!” She was out before anyone could help her, running np a careless path to a frankly sag ging porch, and turned at the door. “I forgot the most Important p.nrf. Welcome to Trail’s End! Mrs. Larrahee, If I help, do you think I’d dare invite the gentle men to our first meal?” They stayed. It would have taken force to have dragged at least one of them away from that glowing picture on the low. lazy old porch, with the weathereti logs making a silvered back ground for her vivid youth and the lovely flame In her cheeks. “Don’t see why they should n’t.” she agreed calmly. “There’s plenty to eat. and we can easy keep two men busy until supper time. Boone, you take these things out. and I’ll show you where they go. And then you might clean out the stove—it’ll need it—and lay a fire tor me. Barry, suppose you show Miss Cushing around and tell her about things. And you might take a look at the well and see if it needs cleanin' out.” Anne listened to them, eyes alight with laughter. “Tell me when I can In Ip. I’m not going to be a drone, you know. But I want to see what the house Is like, first. Comin?” This was not addressed to Martha. A slightly dizzy young man picked up a suitcase In each hand, and followed her. The door yielded under her hand with a get tie squeak, and a i bitterness and an eye for moun- slaiiting ray of sunlight followed slopes running with autumn gold! An unexpected young man. Life might not be so solitary here after all. That had been hours ago. They had eaten picnic fashion, with zestful appetite and in the open air. Strange that it should seem so natural! They had talk ed of deserts and of deep bosom ed hills, of the temperamental habits of the dry sandy washes in the season of rains. Of ev erything, In fact, except the rea son why a girl with beautiful hands and the smart tailoring of expensive city shops should have elected to live on a little sanch in an Isolated valley. Then finally, rather reluctant ly, her two sun-browned guar dians had climbed Into the dls- ruptable car afid departed. After that she had tied herself into a big apron and worked with Martha, despite protest, and now; after two hours of beating and dusting and washing and dragging things around ahe sat quietly by herself on the amiably sagging porch. . From somewhere near the lower meadow sho heaVd'tbe-de- liberate tburap of hoots, the tear and crunch of the meadow grass. That would be one of her horses. The steady, crunching sound made her drowsy. The valley was so quiet. The wooded ridges tucked jt in. Back of the.:ridgee tail peaks loomed darkly# mys- terionsly in moonlight—^TralTa End. > She wondered ,lf It would they didn’t usually please to bury their talents In humdrum and unspoctacnlar farm work. Perhaps H was just a whim, or a let-down after a love affair, or —Oh, damn It, what business was It of his, anyway? He went to find Martha Larrabee. Left to herself, Anne grimaced frankly at the Slightly dingy look of her new quarters, and blessed Martha’s stern creed of soap and water. She slipped into a pair of smart sport shoes, and hurried out. “Mrs. Larrabee, I can't ask two perfect strangers to do all my work for me. It’s awfully nice of them to be willing, but it’s really too much.” “My name’s Martha,” said that capable woman composedly, “and don’t you worry about the work. It won’t hurt ’em. Besides, they’d want to anyway. It’s only neighborly. Now you run along and tell Barry to show yon around, but before he goes he might as well help Boone out with that table. I thought we might have supper early, and eat it outdoors.” A step sounded on the porch. Anne knew already whose It was. “I’ve brought you some water, Martha. The well seems in good shape, but I’ll take a better look at it tomorrow. It’s placed right fcr drainage, too.” He sighted Anne. White, even teeth flashed. "All ready for ac tion? Come along, and I’ll show you the estate.” She trudged off gaily with him, to look at her kinglom. Martha looked after them, with elevated brow and that little quirk at the corner of her smil ing mouth. “Him!” she said eloquently. "Runnin’ after a girl!” The tour of inspection took in the hay barn and wagon shed, tool house and store house, a disused blacksmith shop cluttered with odds and ends, a fairly good cabin with several bunks, used, no doubt, In busier days. There were farm Implements more or less in repair, a fair assortment of tools, some noticeably patched harness and a quite respectable saddle. They left these dusty details behind them and walked slowly down beside the little creek, hustling busily along over its stones. Young willows crowded close to its banks, cottonwoods towered gracefully, golden green with young leaves. It was quiet and lovely here. “An Indian,” said Barry Du ane, “would feed a tribe on what a Simpson wastes. A primitive dam out there and some Irriga tion ditches on each side would add acres to this place. But try to make them do It!” There was a curious bitterness in his voice, out of all relation to such a harmless subject. j?lv wondered. "Why, I think it sounds eke{t- ing.” “Yes, it’s exciting enough.” He broke off with an apologetic grin. “Don’t let me get started. It’s a hobby of mine. Come on, let’s go up to that knoll. You will get a good view down your little valley and a nice glimpse of some aspens on the other side. When they turn in the autumn that upper slope is like running gold.” Ditches and views and creeks. her in. She was in a fair-sized room, with doors on both sides leading to other rooms. The first impres sion was one of dust and bare ness. the hasty lifter of odds and ends dropped in moving. The room wasn’t bad at all. The bare floors needed scrub bing, but there was a generous stone fireplace with some glint ing quartz surfaces, and a long mantel above It formed of a single cedar slab. The time- darkened beams were hand hewn, and if the few pieces of furniture were heavy and primi tive, that, had she known it, was something to give thanks for. “M’m, I’m glad Mrs. Larrabee is a cyclone. But I love the old beams and that fireplace—al though It’s bard to Imagine ever needing a fire after that sun shine outside.” “Walt until the nipping nights come. They can be chilly enough now.” He lingered In the door way. “I’ll do a chore or two for Martha before she gets after me, and then If you’re ready, we can take a look around ... Or per haps you’d rather unpack first.” “Before I’ve seen my own ranch? Never! I Just want to get out some sensible shoes. I’ll join yon In just a minute.” He went, but with a backward look. Interested and not a little puzzled. He knew tbat the girls (if his own generation did prac- Mf^lly what .they. pie^taed^ Bhe had learned "home for Barry waa rather high’^p In the hills. She wondered if he had alwaya lived there. He must have been away to school. He didn’t talk like the others. She liked him. Martha’s solid step sonnded back of her. “Yon better get to bed. Y6u look mighty near donb out to me.” "Just lazy. You've done won ders. I like my ranch, Martha. Perhaps I’m a hopeless « green horn, bnt I do.” "So do I," said Martha unex pectedly. ‘Tve always liked it.” "Oh, do you?” A certain list lessness had gone out of her voice. "I thought perhaps— well. It's generally agreed to be rather run down, isn’t it?” "Nothing that plain, ordinary hard work and a little backbone won't bring np again,” said Mar- than bluntly. "There’s a homo and a reasonable livin’ on it, and In good years there ought to be a little over to tuck in the bank.” She looked shrewdly down at the small dark head, at shapely, taper-fingered hands clasped over a rounded knee. Martha had a head and used it, but whatever she may have felt of curiosity or doubt she kept to herself. She added a brief afterthought, cau tiously. "And if you ever get tired of ranchin’, I guess you wouldn’t have any trouble turnin’ your money over. Anyobdy could easi ly turn it into a dude ranch, and I guess there’s rich men that would -like it just for the shoot- In’ and flshln’ back in the hills. Now I'm on my way to bed. We have got to get up early tomor row morning.” « "All right, Martha. I’ll fol low In a minute. Be sure to call me.” The firm step retreated. Anne was alone again, and thought ful. Home and a living. It was curious how precious that seem ed now. Hidden away in her smaller suitcase there was still a little store of bills in that golden bag, hated and yet mir aculous. Enough to buy some needed things for her ranchlto, and a little In reserve, always in reserve, if by any chance dis aster should pursue her even here, and the need for flight should come suddenly. “Hide me!” she whispered fiercely. “Hold me and hide me, until no one remembers my face!" A memory stung her like a nettle. She shook it off abruptly and jumped to her feet. Four days had pasesd since Anne had arrived at this tucked away, neglected ranch of hers four days of almost unremitting work which had sent her to bed with every muscle protesting and had swept her in five minutes into dreamless sleep. From the kitchen came a sub dued rattle of pans. Anne’s eyes opened wide and she reached for the watch lying on an unsteady little table beside her bed. Seven o’clock! A swing and a soft thump took her out of bed, and she threw open the door and ran out. “Martha, you villain, you’ve ,et me pversleeip! Don’t you ow I’m a hard-working wom an?” Her shrewd eyes warmed. In spite of an inner protest, as they looked at the gay little figure In the kitchen door. Bright eyes and a curly mop of hair, bare feet thrust Into gaudy Chinese slippers, silken, impudent pa jamas, scarlet and black. “If you’re goln’ to run Bay und In those red pants, you’d better keep an eye on the door, nrst thing you know one of your reg’- lar callers will be slickin’ his head In, and then wbat’ll you look like?” “Why, just like this!” She plucked a bit of gay silk In each thumb and forefinger and bowed extravagantly. Then with a sudden glint in her eye she swung out a slippered foot at a perilous angle and twirled off in a series of extraordinary dance steps. The older woman stared at her, a girl gone mad, whirling and swooping, small feet stamp ing a curious time beat in light staccato thuds. “Like it, Martha?” Martha got her breath back. "Oh, go ’long," she said crossly, and a laugh came back to her as the slim legs flashed through the bedroqm door. (Continued next week.)
