yuh'eat last?”
“Danged early , this mornin’,” grin
ned Tisdale. “Ain’t no particular rush
about nie seein’ Arthur; L, can see
him tonight. I’m with yuh'.” ,
At the Circle L they found Slim
and Dakota perched on the corral
fence, deep in thoughtful conversa
tion. Slim looked up and waved to
Abe.'The Dot H Dot foreman saiwthat
Slim was Sarrying a pair oif guns; He
and Tisdale dismounted.. *
“Slim—Dakota, meet a gent from
the Big Bend country. Tisdale, this is
Slim Loyale and Dakota Blue.”
When the round of hand-clasps was
over, Abe explained. Slim nodded gen
erously. “Glad yuh dropped in, Tis
dale. Shore, we try an’ treat folks.
I’ll tell Oscar to set yuh out a meal,
an’J^UL-loan yuh a fresh bronc. Yores
looks pretty gaunt”

Abe did so, Etirting with informa-
^ tion of Arthuf-’s visit to the Dot H
Dot and^hiE^ultimatum. Then he went
on about^is meeting with Tisdale and
what hyi^cher had told him.
“(^t it ?\ snapped Dakota, as Abe
finikned. - \

bn his counteniii^e.
“Shore,” exulted Dakota, “I can
see it plain now^the whole dirty,
high^^handed schem^. Abe, I love yuh
like a brother for runnin’ into this
feller Tisdale an’ bringin’ him here.
Shore, we’ll spike Arthur’s an’ Star-
buck’s an’ Brockwell’s i^ns now.
“Get this. There’s just qne feasible
route to the Kicapoo rangex from the
Big Bend country; that is, a\route to

he’s goin’ to foreclose, or rather he

“MiU alive, that gang will be des
perate, soon as Tisdale has his talk
with Arthur. They’ll be on us like a
swarm of ants. But we know now
what toTbbk for an’ why. Abe, I want
yuh to do somethin’ for me. Ride to
town an’ tell Arthur that Mona has
the mon^ to pay her mortgage. Then
kinda let it slip‘that I’m gonna loan
it tp her. Will yuh do that?”
“Shore I wifi. Slim. But I don’t
think Mona will take it from yuh. She

I can see why. Women get funny

A Tialf liour later, as Abe an^ Tis*
dale were about to leave. Slim made
one last remark to Tisdlle*. which
caused that individual to wrinxlo his
brow in puzzlement. “When yuh get
through wantin’ to wring Asthur’s

here for the night an’^ we’ll talk busi

As soon as the two were gone. Slim
got hold of Roy O’BrieP and Stoney
Sheard. “I want yuh two to oil yore
guns an’ hard for town,” he explained.
“An’ I want yuh to put in the time
from now until tomorrow noon, keep-

for at least, five' miles, both ways
from the mouth pf Jericho Valley.” ,
“Then he lied, Tisdale. What he
meant to say was that he ho|>ed to
control it by the time yore herd.s start
across it. An' how much per haid was
he gonna charge yuh in range toll
for ygfif herds?” '
“One round simoleon,” explo<ied
Tisdale. “Yes, sir, one whole damn
dollar per haid, yearliij’s included.
“What did yuh tell him?”
“I told him that he was a, cross be
tween a polecat an’ a buzzard an’
that he could go to^blazes. I 'told him
that we fellers cornin’ north to the
Kicapoo range would pay a reason
able range toll, but nothin’ like a
dollar. •

not at all. But me, I cain’t understand

I right?”
Tiadale nodded ruefully. “Yeah,
yo're right, Loyale. We’d just plain
have to, or lose everythin’. But evi

Arthur ain’t given up hoplf yet of-
gettin' eontrol of this range.”
“He hasn’t,” dgr^d Slim. “The next
forty-eight hoPrTTre gonna see hell

about. I’m tryin' right now to spread
my cyards to spoil his plans. Now
then, just how mtfeh toll did yuh fel

call it a fkir'deal alt around?”
“Two bits a haid,” stated Tisdale.
“An' we’ll guarantee to keep the herd
well bunched an’ drive fast. We won’t
let ’em spread a bit. i think that’s a
fair offer.” ,
"Darned fair,” agr^ Slim. “Now
