He pressed the dog on Its side, In the shade, and went into the house. Mormon followed him. Grit watched them disappear, gave a little whine of impatience, accepted the situation philosophically as he listened to sounds from the corral that told him of horses being caught, and drooped his head on the dirt, lying relaxed, eyes closed, gaining strength against the return trip. Sam rode to the porch on his roan, Sandy's pinto and a gray mare lead ing, and “tied them to the ground" with trailing reins as Sandy came out bearing a pan of food, a package and a leather case. lie Coaxed the collie to eat the fbod from bis hand while Sam brought the wblaky. “Load my gun*.

The road rose at n steep pitch, cliff to the right, preci pice to the left, stretching on and up to the summit of the pass. Grit, unseen, ahead, was barking in staccato volleys There was another sound, a faint shout, unmistakably human. The men looked at each other with eyebrows raised. “That ain’t no man's voice," said Sam. “That’s a gal.'* He looked qulxxlcally at Sandy, knowing hi* churn’s inhibition.

Originally the •'*“* ° ‘ holding had been called tbe Tw<»-llar-P. As certain cattlemen mere not want ing who had a knack of appropriating calves and changing the brand* of steers. Sandy had been glad enough. In his capacity of business' manager, to change the name of the ranch and brand. Two-Bur-i* was too easily al tered to H-B, U-P, U-B, O-P, or B; a score of combinations hard to prove as forgeries. There had been lengthy argument concerning the new name. Three Star, so Soda-Water Sam—whose nicKname was satirical—opined, smacked of the saloon rather than the ranch, but it was finally decided on and the brand ing irons duly made. Sandy Bourke had dark brown hair, inclined to be curly, a tendency he ■offset by frequent clipping of his thatch. The sobriquet of “Sandy” re ferred to his grit. He was broad- shouldered, tall and lean, weighing a hundred and seventy pounds of well- strung frame. His eye% were gray and the lids sun-puckered; his deeply tanned skin showed the freckles on face and hands as faint inlays; his long, limber legs were slightly bowed. Not so the curve of Soda-Water Sam’s legs. You could pass a small keg between the latter’s knees with out Interference. * Otherwise.

Again It seized the tassel and pulled, looking up Into Sandy's face imploringly. “Somethin’ wrong.” said the man ager of the Three Star. “Tryln’ to tell us about It. All right, ol’. feller, you drink some more wateh. Let me look at that paw.” He gently took the foot that clawed at his chaps and ex amined It. The paw was worn to the quick, bleeding. “Come out of the Bad lands,” he said, looking toward the range. “Through Pyramid pass, likely.” Sandy rolled the dog on his side and found the other pads in the same con dition. Running his fingers beneath the ruff, scratching gently In sign of friendship, he discovered a leather collar with a brass tag, rudely en graved, the lettering worn but leg ible. “GRIT. Prop. P. Casey.” “They sure named you right, son,” he said. “We’ll ’tend to P. Casey, soon’s we’ve 'tended to you. You need fixin' if you’re goln’ to take us to him. You'll have to hoof it till we cut fair trail. Sam, fetch me some ad hesive, will you? An’ then saddle up: Pronto to’ me. a haws* fo’ yoreself an* rope a apiire mount.” Sam went Into the house for the medical tape, then to the corral.

A broken pole, with splintered ends, crossed the body of Its mate, a hay. gaunt-hipped, high of riba It lay atlll, but Its flanks heaved, catching a flush of sun on Its dull hide. Between the wheels of the wagon knelt a girl In # gown of faded blue, head hidden behind a sunbonnet. She leaned forward in the shadow of the wagon. Sandy caught a glimpse of a huddled body beyond her. Grit sat on .his haunches, head toward the road, thrown back at each bark. Sandy reached the ledge first. The girl did not turn her head, though his descent was noisy. He touched her gently on the shoulder, telllpg himself that she was "Just a kid." She looked up, her face lined where tears had laned down through the mask of dust.' Now she was past cry ing. Her eyes met Sandy’s pitifully; holding neither surprise nor hope. “He’s dead.” She seemed to be, stating a fact long accepted. “He's dead. An’ he made me Jtimp. You come too late, mister.” The man lay stretched out. head and shoulders hidden, his gaunt body dressed In jean a, once blue, long since washed and sun-faded to the green of turquoise matrix.

At the fur end of the pass the dog struggled to get down. “I’ll let him give us a lead,’’ said Sandy, “soon us we hit the lava. We can fuller his’trail that fur. Sit tight, son.” Grit whined but^subsided under the restraining hands. . - ' Sandy took the lead, bending from the saddle, reading the trail that Grit’s paws had left In the alkali and sand. Once the dog’s tracks led aside to a scummy puddle, saucered by alkali, dotted with the spoor of desert ani mals that drank the hitter water in extremity. Then it ran straight to a wide reef of lava. .Sandy set down the collie. Grit ran fast across the pitted surface, ahead of the horses, waiting for them to cross the lava. They had hard work to get him to come to hand again, but he gave In at last to the knowledge that they would not go on otherwise. The two riders ivent silently on at a steady walking gait. "Never see a proipector with a dawg afore,” said Sam at last. “An* that a shpep davfg.” “Dawg *ud hi apt to tucker pot In desert travel.” agreed Randy ’Yean oee UN>re mouth fa' w*tar " He.
