Those icy blue eyes of the valiant old banker seered like live flames and the implacable courage behind them was unmietakable.

He sank back into his 'chair IRre an old man who was sud- ^deplj ahrays been a man who faced facts squarely, regardless of what those facts might be. He faced them now. Spelle had told the troth.

If they could some how help his bank to weether thtwogb It was a deep game Spelle was playing. His determinatfon to smash Ed Starbuck was only a step towards the fulfillment of a long thwarted hate. Spelle’s' real objective was that immense expanse of valuable plateau range controlled by San Juan Dele- van. There lay the water and graz ing which Spelle could find good use for during the dry, torrid summer months. As for the other smaller ranchers, they also woftld sink if Stazbuck's bank went under. But Simile gave them little ‘thought. ^ hintmmlf iwntemp- tuouely: There was "another motive to Silas Spelle’s ha^wd of San Juan Delevan. It dated back many, many years. It began the day Martha Wingate had married I^levan after scorning Spelle's advances. Her death, three gam her life to bring a baby daugh ter into the world, caused Spelle to, ^oat- What he could not have him self, he wanted no other man to^hbld.
