CHAPTER 111
Ralph Rowland was off to the
wars. .His sister, Rusty, drove him
to the station. She hated to see
him go, leaving only an uncle,
voung brother and her mother on
the ranch. She knew she would
have to run' the ranch and would
receive little help from any of
them. On the way back to the
ranch she ran into a storm, found
a stranger calling himself ‘’Herb"
wrecked. She pulled his car out of
the water before deciding to tiy
again to reach the ranch. Rusty
discovers that/ somieone had
slaughtered some of her cattle.
She calls Ladue Decker, a neigh
bor, to come over. Ladue laughs
at the idea of gangsters and later
proposes to Rusty, who turns him
The east section was compara
tively near the house. It was edg
edthe big sump which was bridged
as an auxiliary road to the house
when the river was running and
the creek at full with mountain
freshets.
As Rusty rode toward it, she
felt tired. The day had held too
much. The security she’d accepted
as she’d accepted the weather had
been knocked from under her by
one blow after another.
And there was Decker’s propos
al to consider. She was probably
acting like a romantic fool. Deck
er, like security, had been around
the Double R ever since she could
remember. The stranger who had
“taught her a lesson’f she’d never
see again.
Babe’s ears were pricking back
and forth. Rusty pulled nar in and
sat waiting, listening. She heard
nothing and saw but little more.
Starlight overhead, and the prai
rie blue-black beneath a blue
black sky.
Foolish . . . but tiny prickles of
fear chased themselves up and
down her apine. The sump and the
bridge lay just ahead. She could
put Babe to a run and be home in
no time.
She saw the flash and f?’t Babe
shudder, then slip beneath her, all
in an instance.
By some reflex action she drew
her foot out of the left stirrup
and, on the ground, crouched be
hind the fallen horse.
One of her own riders.
“It Rusty,” she called. “You’ve
hit Babe. Come and help me with
her.”
A moment’s silence. Then a
startled, “It’s a dame,” m a whis
per that carried.
Another whisper, indistinguisr
able, and the sound of scurrying
steps.
Seconds passed, with Rusty
frantic with fear and angs—fear
for the pony and a boiling anger
t the men who’d shot her.
She should signal for help, but
she fired into the night, they
night come back to silehce her a
larm.
The wounded pony lay trem
bling, breathing heavily. Rusty
tried to soothe her.
“It’s all right, Babe,” she whis
pered. "Steady, girl; it’a all
right.”
It was deadly quite now.
And then the darkness seemed
split with noise—shots far off 10
the south.
* i *cv yuu iic ncre anu

to the pony. “Can you make it
Mi .' L j. Babe, up—
Babe shook herself, rolled and
stumbled up to sit on her haunch
es forefeet braced.
“That’s the girl; now holdjt. ’
Rusty ran her hand over the
pony’s shoulder, found the wound.
Uncle Jed could probe, nrobablv
find the bullet, but the danger lay
deeper. Babe must have tetanus
antitoxin shots.
Rusty talked earnestly to the
pony. She must stay there while
her mistress ran for her car and
the trailer.
“You’ve got a tough ride ahead,
Babe. Stick ft out for me.”
She was off then, running rap
idly. Clear of the sump, she fired
a signal, but when she reached the
house, she found only Ling and
Manny there to meet her.
“All gone,” Ling cackled.
“Gosh, Sis,” burst from Manny.
"Even Uncle Jed lit out when
he heard the shots. He gimme this
to protect the house.” And he
proudly displayed* his small rifle.
“Manny, drive my car out ana
hitch on the double trailer. Babe’s
been shot. I’m going to the corral
for dressings, then taking her to
the city to the vet.”
When Rusty returned> she
found the double trailer attached
to the car. She checked the con
nection, and threw padding into
the trailer.
Babe came up on her haunches
as Rusty approached, whistling.
With the aid of her flash, she lo
cated the wound, cleaned the im
mediate area and damped on the
pad she had ready,
“Now come on, girl. Up, Babe."
Slowly they made their way to the
sump bridge, where the trailer
waited.
“It I only had two hands—" she
wailed.
“I got two,” came Manny's
voice. •
“Coax her in. There—good
Babej easy, girl. . . . Now, young
man, you go back to the house.
Do you want Mother to worry her
self sick "
“No, she won’t. Ling’s goin’ to
tell her we’ve gone to the city—
but he ain't tellin’ her till we get
clear I made hfm promise."
“Manny!"
But it was nice to have com

Where y’ taking her?” asked
Manny. _ .!
‘‘I’ll take her to Doc Harness
place. Someone took up his prac
tice when he left to go into the
Army. He’d have made sure his |
successor knew his business^ But
oh, I do wish he were here!”
Add then, on the northern edge.
Rusty came to the acreage ot
Doctor Harness—a white cottage
white buildings, white stables and
white-boarded corrals.
A single light burned over the
entrance to the cottage as she
drove in—a small red light ovei
a night bell.
thin woman stepped out.
‘‘Well?” she asked.
‘‘Our horse got shot,” Manny
announced.
“Is the doctor in?” Rusty ask
ed.
“I’m expecting him any min
ute,” the woman said shortly. “It
you’ll back your trailer to that
gate,there is a shed just beyond.’
She went ahead, a spare, black
clad figure, switching on hoodea
lights, speaking in a soothing vo
1 ice to the dogs in a nearby kenne'i
who had raised their voices in
complaint at the intrusion.
“Sounds better’n she looks,"
whispered Manny.
Rusty, involved in backing the
trailer through a narrow roadway
didn’t answer. She wasn’t inter
ested in the woman, merely in the
doctor. She hoped he— There,
that was a car now.
Manny had the end gate off the
trailer, and Rusty was backing the
wary Babe out, when she heard a
step behind her.
“My sister tells me your horse
was shot,” remarked a voice.
Rusty wheeled.
There, under the lights of the
shed , stood the stranger who’d
taught her a lesson.
On discovering that the veteri
narian was the red-haired strang
er named Herb, Rusty was speech
less with suprise.
“I^t’s have a look at the pony,"
he was saying. “What’s her
name?”
“Babe,” supplied Manny eager
ly, “and, gee, the gangsters got
her with Sis right on her back!
Rusty watche Babe quiet
under the touch of his hands. She
saw him turn, lift an eyebrow at
the woman who stood in the back
ground, saw her turn and disap
I pear, to reappear with an open
topped box of instruments.
“You’re not going to like this.
Babe,” he informed the wary-eyed
pony, “but it has to be done. Ah,
now, we’ll just go on talking to
you, and if your mistress talks to
me and tells me what happened—
He couldn’t be one of them,
Rusty told herself. No man with
such tenderness in his hands could
fire into a herd of cattle.
As she told him what had hap
pened, he worked swiftly, surely,
i probing for the bullet, swabbing
| stiching. The tall, thin woman
handed him each instrument, an
ticipating his every need. A hypo
dermic now, the protective anti

Westmore. Herb Y\ estniore. She
had his name.
Rusty found herself in the cott
age kitchen, while the woman
heated milk.
When Rusty called the ranch
Uncle Jed answered. He did not
like telephones and refused to say
more than, “Of course every
thing’s all right—” and "You
ought to be spanked—driving out
on a highway at night with gang
sters about! Now get along
home!”
The kitten followed Rusty to
the breakfast room.
“She seems to have adopted

Westmore served her.
“Well, I wish you’d adopt her.’

Rusty looked down. Fatso sat
watching her with round yellow
eyes. The Double R already had
plenty of cats.

suddenly, “Better put him in the
