Chapter
GEORGE AKERS lay flat on his
back on theted in his room
on the upper floor of the 'big
house. He stared moodily at the
ceiling, raised his head when he
iicard the swift beat of an ap
proaching horse's hoofs. He swung
his long legs over the side of the
bed, climbed to his feet and saun
tered over to the window, whipped
the curtain back and peered out
A horseman came swinging around
the corral at a gallop, whirled on
ward toward the house.
Cathy Ballard emerged from the
cottage and started down the path
that led to the house. The man
eyed V-.cr interestedly . . .he stepped
forward to .meet her. George,
watching from the window, saw
her swerve toward the back door,
saw the man intercept her and say
something to her. Cathy flushed,
pushed past him and went into the
house. George frowned ... in an
other moment he was striding
down the stairs.
"Who's that feller outsider' he
asked.
"That's Mister Corbin," she. an
swered over her shoulder.
"Oh," he said. "What's he want
here?1'
"You," she said simply.
He went out the back way and
the door slammed loudly behind
hiim.
"My principal purpose in com
ing here," Corbin said, "was to
talk with you about the ranch."
"You wanna buy it? Why?"
"Why would any man want to
buy a ranch?"
"To work it," George answered
calmly. "But I can't see you doin'
ratchin"
"Come, come, Akers. Either you
want to sell it, or you don't. Now
which is it?"
"I won't sell it t' anybody 'cept
a rancher. B'sides, I don't like t'
do business with anybody I don't
like."
"I se." Cof bin said slowly. "You
don't like me. Is that right?"
"Yep."
Corbin's frov deepened.
"I don't know whether you've
been told this or not. I hold the
mortgage on the Circle-A."
"Awright ... I know it now."
"Interest is due shortly. I take
it you'll be ready to pay it?"
"Come around and ask me when
it's due."
Cathy came out of the house and
trudged up the path to the cottage.
Corbin's eyes followed hfr.
"What'd you say t' her b'fore?"
George asked.
"W-hy, nothing. That is, nothing
of importance."
"That's what I figgered. Mister,
I understand Tex told you t' stay
off the Circle-A. That goes double
now."
C5RBIN turned abruptly, swung
himself up astride his horse,
wheeled the animal

The rope sprang to life and shot away mth the awing
speed of a darting snake.
"The next time you see Cathy,
you might r'niember t' kinda watch
your tongue. If you don't, you're
'i'ble t' get y'self into a heap o'
troUblc. Savvy?"
Corbin's lips thinned. He pulled
backward suddenly. The loose ends
of the reins flashed upward and
downward, almost in the same
swift movement, and swished
across George's face. Corbin
whirled his horse around, spurred
him, sent him thundering away.
George fell against the wall of the
house . . . someone caught him by
the arms, steadied him, thrust o
lariat into his hands. The tall youth
gripped the coiled rope, broke
away from Martin, stepped away
from the house. He fumbled with
the rope for a moment ... in an
other moment it sprang to life,
spun in his hand, shot away with
the awing speed of a darting snake.
Corbin was some forty feet away
when the pursuing noose overtook
him. George braced himself on
wide-spread logs, jerked his right
arm backward and Corbin was
lifted oui of his saddle and hurled
to the ground.
George tossed the rope aside,
sprinted out to where the man lay
outsprawlcd. Corbin rolled over,
struggled to his knees, then to his
feet . . .'he freed himself of the
loose rope as George reached him.
"Why, you . . .!" he said through
his tooth and swung viciously at
the youth.
George sidestepped nimbly, piv
oted and smashed him fully in the
face. A terrific, swishing punch
that almost tore his head from his
shoulders, lifted him off his knees.
George stepped back and Corbin
toooled over in a limp heap. The
Circle-A punchers crowded around
the panting youth. Me pusnea mem
away, hitched up his belt.
"Get him outta here," he breath
ed. Phil Martin, a broad grin of de
light and satisfaction on his face,
stepped ahead of him when the?
reached the house, yanked the
kitchen door open, held it wide,
and followed George inside. Cathy
came in at their very heels.
"H'm," she said; stepped back
and rolled up her sleeves. "Sit
down."
George obeyed. Quickly and
deftly she filled a basin with wa
ter from a huge pitcher, reached
for a bottle on the top shelf of
the dish closet.
"This will smart," she said.
"However, as long as you were
able to stand up and fight back
after getting your face lashed, you
should be able to stand this."
George did not answer. Martin,
tongue in cheek, watched the pro
ceedings for another minute, then
he backed very quietly to the door,
opened it noiselessly and slipped
out. He was grinning again when
he strode nway toward the corral.
