Again sho stunt led him. He looked
at her wonderingly. But before he
eould frame a bantering reply, Marcia
had Involuhtarily gripped at his arm
with a look upon tier face that first
"'as sheer bewildered astonishment,
ftnd was crying for him to look yonder.
Judith had come.
Across the floor, now nearly desert
ed, Bud I.ee and Murcia stared at her.
She was coming toward them, her
dainty slippers seeming to kiss their
own reflections In the gleaming floor.
It was Judith and not Judith. It was
some strange, .unknown Judith. A
wonderfully gowned, transcendently
lovely Judith. A Judith who had long
hidden herself, masquerading, and who
now stepped forth smiling and bright
and vividly beautiful : a Judith of bare
white arms, round and soft and rich in
their tender curves; a Judith whose
filmy gown floated about her like a
sun shot pilst; a Judith whose skin
above the low-cut corsage was like a
baby’s, whose tender mouth was a red
flower, whose hair was a ,shimmering
mass of bronze-brown, whose 1 eyes
were AphroditeV own, glorious, dawn-
gray; a Judith of rare maidenly
charm; a glorious, palpitant, trium
phant Judith.
It might have been Just because it
was fitting that they should greet
their hostess so; it might have been
because the men and women who saw
tills new Judith were caught suddenly
In a compelling current of admiration,
that ubdve the hum of voices rose from
everywhere a quick clapping of hands
as she came through the room. The
Color of her cheeks deepened, her eyes
flashed a Joyous acknowledgment of
the greeting, and bright and cool and
self-possessed she came on to Marcia.
“Marcia, dear," she said, taking Mar
cia's two hands—and Bud I.ee found
that even Judith's voice had taken on
f a new note, -deeper, richer, gladder,
fraught with the quality of low music
—•‘forgive me for being late. I want
ed to he here every little second to see
you enjoy yourself.” She put her lips
closer to Marcia's ear. whispering:
“You are the prettiest thing tonight I
ever saw l"
Marcia shook her head, heF eyes
filled with frank wonder.
“I mn't tlh, Judith, dear.” she an
swered. And, for Marcia, she was
very grave. “I know you have a glass
in your room. YY»u wonderful, won-
Jefful Judith!”
Their voices were indistinct to Bud
I.ee. , Now at the moment when she
< i
was so rich in the splendor of her own
sweet femininity he filled Ids heart
with her. Judith bad come in the only
way Judith could come, surrendering
herself utterly to the hour.
She turned fn him, no surprise at
his ow n costume in. her happy eyes,
anil gave him her cool hand. A swift
tremor fan through him at the contact,
u tremdr which was like that of the
right In tlie cabin, which he could not
conceal, which Judith must notice.
She said something, but he let the
words go. holding only the vibrant
—music of the" voire. —
She had stirred him. and now he did
not seek a theory for a buckler; the
Right of her, the brushing of her fing
ers against his, jnade riotous tumult
in tils blood.
The first strains of a waltz Joined
the lure of Judith’s warm loveliness,
whispering, counseling, commanding:
“Take her.” Marcia gasped and
stepped back, starred by the look she
saw la the eyes of this man who, hav
ing sjMiken no word since Judith came,
put out his arms and took her Into
them. Judith flashed at him a look
of quick wonder. His face was almost
stern; no hint of a smile had come
Into his eyes. He merely caught her
to him us though she were his, and
swung her out Into the whirl of
dancers. t
“You are rather — abrupt, aren’t
you?’' said Judith coolly.^,
“Am I?” he .asked gravely. ‘‘I don't
know. It seems to me^ that I have
been loitering, Just loitering while—"
He didn't attempt to finish. He held
Judith in his anus while for him the
room was emptied of Its gay throng,
the music no longer pulsed; its beat
was In the rhythm of their bodies,
swaying.as one.
The dance over, she was lost to him
In the crowd of men who came eagerly
to her. His eyes followed her wher
ever she went. A slow anger kindled
in his heart that she should let other
men talk with her, that she should
suffer another man to take her in hla
arras.'
A number of country dances fol
lowed. He stood by the Moor waiting
a lime before he' went again to Ju
dith. He saw Marcia across the room
beckoning to him with her fan. There
was nothing to do hut to go to her.
He frowned but went, still wat&dng
for Judith. Marcia wanted iilrti ^to
flM«t sous et her friends. He" shook
hands with Hampton, was introduced
to Itogers. Marcia explained that Mr.
I.ee was the gentleman who achieved
perfect wonders in the education of
his horses. She turned to introduce
Farris, the artist. But Farris broke
into Marcia’s words with a sudden ex
clamation.
‘‘Have Lee!” he cried, as If he
could not believe his eyes. “You!
Here !”*
‘‘Hello, Hick,” I.ee answered quietly.
“Y’es, I’m here. I didn't know that
you were the artist Hampton hud
brought up with him."
Farris' hand went out swiftly to he
gripped in Lee’s. Marcia, mystified,
looked from one to the other.
“You two know each other? Why.
Isn’t that—"
She didn't know Just what It was,
so stopped, looking frankly as though
she'd like to have one of them finish
her sentence for her.
"But," muttered Farris, “I thought
that you—"
“Never mind, Dick,” said I.ee quick
ly, And to Murcia's mystified expres
sion“You'll pardon us n moment,
Miss I.ungworthy? I want to talk a
little with Mr. Farris."
His hand on the artist's elbow, Bud
I/ee forced him gently away. The two
disappeared Into the little room off
the library where Jose was placing a
great bowl of punch on the table.
“(Jue hay, Bud." grinned Jose.
“Your ol’ nose smell the booze d—n
queek, no?"
He set down Ids bowl and went out.
Farris stared wonderingly at I.ee.
“Bud. Is it?" be grunted. “Breaker
of horses, hired man at a dollar u
day—?"
“Ninety dollars a month. Hick," I.ee
corrected him, with a short laugh,
"(rive a fellow ids true worth, old-
timer."
Farris frownedt i
“What devil's game 1r fids?" he de
manded sharply. "Isn't It enough that
you should drop out of the world with
never a word, but that you must show
up now breaking horses and letting
such chaps as Mrs. Simpson's Black
Spanish chum with you? Not a cursed
word in five years, and I’ve lain awake
nights wondering. When you wt-nf to
smash—"
"When a I.ee goes to smash,” said
Bud briefly, "he goes to smash. That’s
all there is to It.”
“But there was no sfmse, no use In
your dropping out of sight that way—”
“There was," said Lee curtly, "or
I shouldn’t have done It. It wasn’t
just that "I went broke ; that was a
result of my own incompetence In a
bit of speculation and didn’t worry me
a great deal. But other things did.
There were a couple of the fellows
that I thought were friends of mine.
I found out that they had knifed me;
had helped pluck me to feather their
own nests. It hurt. Hick; hurt like
h—I. Losing the big ranch In the
South was a jolt. I'll admit ; seeing
those fellows take It over and split it
tw;o ways between them, sort . of
knocked the props out from under me.
I believed In them, you see. After
that I just wanted to get away and
Soft of think things aver.” —
‘‘-You wept to Europe?"
“I did not. I don't know how that
report got out, but If people chose to
think I had gone to take a hand In |
the fighting over there, I saw no need
to contradict a harmless rumor. I
took a horse and heat it Tip Into the
coast mountains. I tell you. Hick, I
wanted to think! And I found out
before I was through flunking that I
was sick of the old life, that I was
sick of people, the sort of people you
and I knew, that there was nothing
In the world but horses that I cared
the snap of my finger about, that the
only life worth living—for me—was a
life in the open. I drifted up this
way. I’ve been living my own life in
my own way for five years. I am
happier at It than I used to be. Tl.at’s
all of the fiat little story, Hick."
“You might have let me know. It
seems to me," said Farris a bit stiffly.
"So I might," answered Lee thought-
fuTly. "I was-going to-Jn the first
place. But you’ll remember you were
off somewhere traveling when the
bubble broke. When Dick Farris trav
els,” and hla grave smile came back
to him, “let no mad letter think that
It can track him down. Then I lilt my
stride in this sort of life; I grew away
from the uld news; the years passed
as years do after a man Is twenty-
five; and I Just didn’t write. But I
didn’t forget. Dickie, old man," he said
warmly, and his hand rested on Far
ris’ shoulder. "You can put it In that
old black pipe of yours and smoke it,
that I didn't forget. Some day I
planned to hit town again, heeled, you
know, and remind you of auld lang
syne." '
‘‘You are a fool, David Burrill Lee,"
said Farris with conviction. “Loolp
•here: you can take a new start, pull
yourself together, come back—where
you belong."
r ~ v '**
But Lee shook his head.
"That’s like the old Dick Farris I used
to know,” he said gently. t ‘‘But this is
where I belong, Hick. I don’t want
to start over, I don’t want to come
back to the sort of thing we knew.
The only thing in the world I do want
is right here. And I don’t see’that
it would do any good for you to go.
stirring up any memories about the
old Lee that was shot ‘somewhere in
France.’ ”
When Farris had to go and claim
a dance, Lee watched him with eyes
soft with affection. Then, he, too, left
the room and went buck to th» outer
door, to liis old spot, looking for Ju
dith.
"The only thing I want is right
here," he repeated softly.
He watched Farris Join Marcia and
Judith. He 1 noted the eager excite
ment in Marciirfs eyW*. saw her turn
impulsively to Farrjs. The artist shook
his head and left-Avem, ostensibly go
ing In search wt' his partner. Marcia
was speaking excitedly to Judith.
Lee frowned.
. Once more that night he held Judith
in his arms. He meant to make
amends for his brusque way with her
before. But again the magi^ of her
presence was like a glorious mist,
shutting them in together, shutting all
of tile world out. They spoke Httle
and the music had will with them.
Judith did not know that she sighed
as the dance entled. She seemed mov
ing in a dream as I.ee led her through
the door. They were out in the court
yard. the stars shining softly down
on them. In the subdued light here he
stood still, looking down into tier
pleasure-flushed face. Again the in
sistent tremor shot down his blood.
• *•••*•
Here in this tender light she looked
to him the masterpiece of God striv
ing for the perfect in a woman’s form.
Her gown, gently stirred by the warm
breeze, seemed a part of her, elusive,
alive, feminine. The milk-white of
bare throat and shoulder and rounded
arm, the rise and fall of her breast,
the soft lure of her eyes, the. tender
smile upon her lips, drew him slowly
closer, closer to her. , She lifted her
face a little, raising her eyes until
they shone straight Into his.
“Judith,” he said very quietly, very
gravely, making her wonder at the
tone and the words to follow: “You
have had your way with me tonight.
Ho you understand all that means?
And now—I am going to have my way
with you !"
He caught her in his arms, crushed
hen to him, kissed her. Then he let
Caught Her in Hit Armt and Crushed
Her to Him.
i ~ l, * v
her go and stood, stern-faced, watch
ing her.
For u moment he thought that the
Tiahd at her side Was rising To strike
him full In the face. But he did not
move.
Had such been Judith’s intention,
suddenly It changed.
"So." she cried softly,'“tills is the
sort of fine gentleman into which a
dress-suit lias made Bud Lee, horse
foreman! For so great an honor
surely any woman would thank him!”
She made him a slow, graceful cour
tesy. and laughed at him. And so,
she* left him, her laughter floating
hack, taunting him.
Lee watched her until she had
gone from his sight. Then he turned
and went down the- knoll. Into the
night.
CHAPTER XI
Bud L«« S««As Crooked Chrie
' ^ Quinnion
Ootng_down the knoll to the bunk-
house, Bud Lee cursed himself at
every stride. He cursed Carson when
the cattle foreman, turning to follow
him, addressed a merry remark to him
concerning his “lady-killing clothes.”
The words reminded him of Judith’s
and he didn’t cherish the remem
brance. In the bunk-house Carson
watched him cautiously over hla old
pipe as Lee 1 began ripping off his dreas-
sult.
“A feller called you up a while ago,”
said Carson, still bright-eyed with
Interest but pretending that that In
terest had to do with the new wall
telephone recently Installed. ‘‘Sandy
Weaver, It was. Said—’’
“What did he want " demanded Lee.
swinging suddenly on Carson, his coat
balled up in his hand and hurled
viciously under a bunk. [
"Wasn’t I telling you?" Carson
grunted. ^What’s eating you. Bud?
You uc* mighty auspicious, like a man
that had swallered poison or else was
coming down with the yeller Jaundice
or else was took sudden and powerful
bad with love. They all treats a man
similar—”
“D—n It." growled Lee irritably,
‘can’t you tell me what Weaver said?"
“Said, call him up, real pronto," re
plied, .('arson cheerfully. “Say, Bud,
where In heck did you get that outfit?
By crlpes, if I hud a regalia like that
I’d be rilling herd in ’em ev’ry Sun
day! On the square now—"
But Lee wasn’t listening to him and
('arson knew it. He had gone quickly
to the telephone, hud rung the one
bell for ‘‘Central," and a moment later
was speaking with Sandy Weaver of
the Golden Spur saloon. Carson
sucked at ills pipe and kept ills eyes
on Lee’s face.
The ensuing conversation, only one
side of which came to Carson, was
brief. Most of the talking was done
by Sandy Weaver. Lee asked three
questions; the third a simple:
“Sure of It, Sandy?"
Then he Jammed the receiver back
upon its book, and with no remark
continued bis hurried dressing. When
be had come in, ills face hud been
flushed; now it* was suddenly red. the
hot red of rage. His* eyes, when they
met (’arson’s once, were stern, bright
with the same quick anger. When he
had drawn on his working garb and
stuffed his trousers into bis boots, be
went to bis bunk and tossed back the
blanket. From the straw mattress be
took a heavy, old-style Colt revolver.
Carson, still watching him, saw him
spin the cylinder, slip a box of fresh
cartridges into his pocket and turn
to the door.
“Riding, Bud?" He got to ids feet,
stuffed bis pipe into his pocket and
reached for ids hat. “Care if I
mosey along?"
‘‘What for?" asked Lee curtly.
v “Oh, h—l, what’s the use being a
hawg?" Carson' grumbled deep down
in his brown throat. “If you’re on
your way to little ol’ Rocky hunting
trouble, if tliey’s going to be shooting-
fun, why can’t you let me in on it?"
»Lee stood a moment framed in the
doorway, frowning down at, Carson.
Then lie turned on bis heel and went
out, saying coolly over Ids shoulder:
"Come on If you want to. Quln-
nion’s In town.”
• ••••• •
As their horses’ hoofs hammered
the winding road^ for the xorty miles
Into Rocky Bend the two riders were
for the most part silent. All of the
explanation which Lee had to give, or
cared to give, was summed up in the
brief words: “Qulnnion’s in town.”
To Judith, Lee had said that night
they fought together at the Upper
End that he had recognized Qulnnlon’s
voice; “t played poker with that voice
not four months ago." That he had
had ample reason to remember the
man as well, he had not gone on to
mention. But Carson knew.
Carson had sat at Lee’s left hand
that night, across the table from Chris
Quinnion. and had seen the look of
naked hatred in two pairs of eyes
when Lee hud risen to ills feet and
coolly branded Quinnion as a crook
and a card sharp. For a little the two
men had glared at each-other, their
muscles corded and ready, their eyes
alert and suspicious, their hands close
to their pockets. Then Quinnion had
sneered in that evil voice of his: “Y’ou
got the drop on me tills time. Look
out for the next.” He, t°o, hod ris»*n
and with Lee’s eyes hard upon him
had gone out of the room. And Car
son had been disappointed in a fight.
But now—now that Bud Lee in this
mood was going straight to Rocky
Bend and Quinnion, Carson filled his
deep lungs with a sigh of satisfaction.
Life had grown dull here of late;
there wasn’t a fresh scar on his but
tered body.
Though the railroad had at last
slipped through it. Rocky Bend was
still a bad little town and proud of
its badness. To the northeast lay the
big timber traces into which the West-
Lumnercompany was ‘tearing its
destructive way ; only^mtntrnmltes’duF'
west were the Rock Crepk mines, run
ning full blusF; on the other sides it
was surrounded l|y cattle ranges,
where a lustyTraqoiYdf young untamed
devils' were cbfistfralned to give them
selves soberly^ ,to ^thelr work during
the long, dusty days. But at night,
always on a Saturday evening, there
came into Rocky Rend from lumber-
camps, mines and cow outfits a crowd
of men whose blood ran red and tur
bulent, seeking a game of cards, a
“whirl at the wheel," a niglit of drink
ing or any other amusement which
fate might vouchsafe them. Good men
and bud, they were all hard men and
quick. Otherwise they would not
have come into Rocky Bend at all.
Lee and Carson riding out of the
darkness into the dim light of the f)rst
straggling street-lumps, passed swiftly
between the rows of weather-boarded
shacks and headed toward the Golden
Spur saloon. .
Though the^ hour was late there
were many saddle-ponies standing
with drooping heads here and there
along the board sidewalks; from more
than one barroom came the gay rag
time of an automatic piano or the
scrape and scream of u fiddle. Men
lounged up and down the street, smok
ing, calling to one another, turning In
here or there to have a drink or watch
a game.
The two, .newcomers, watching each
man or group of men, rode on slowly
until they came to the building on
whose false front was a gigantic spur
in yellow point. Here they dismount
ed. tied their horsea, and went in.
Carson, with a quick eye toward pre
paredness for what might lie on the
cards, looked for Lee’s gun. It wasn't
In his pocket; It wasn’t In his waist
band. ready to hand. It wasn't any
where that Carson could see. At. the
door ha whispered warninglj;
"Better be ready, Bud. AUft leal
your gun, have yos?"
Lee shook his head and stepped Into
the room. At the long bar were three
or four men drinking. Quinnion was
not among them. There were other
men at the round fables, playing draw,
solo, stud horse, one glance showed
that Quinnion was not in the room.
But there were other rooms at the rear
for those desiring privacy. I,ep, nod
ding this way and that to friends who
accosted liimj made his way straight
to the bar.
“Hello, Sandy," he said quietly. ^
Sandy Weaver, the bartender, looked
at him curiously. A short, heavy,
blond man was Sandy Weaver, who
ran a fair house and gave his atten
tion strictly to his own business. Save
when asked 6y a friend to do him a
favor, such a favor as to keep an eye
on another man.
“Hello, Bud,” returned Sandy, put
ting out a nsl hand. All expression
of Interest had tied from bis placid
face. “Come in right away, eh? Hello
(’arson. Have somethin’; on pie, you
know." «
Lee shook his head.
“Not tonight, Sandy,” he said.
“Thanks Just the same."
“Me,” grinned Carson. “I’ll go you.
Sandy. Same thing—you know.”
Sandy shoved out whisky-bottle and
glass. Then lie turned grave eyes to
Lee. •
"One of these fellers can tend bar
while we talk if you want, Bud," he
offered.
“You say Quinnion bus been talk
ing?" asked Lee.
"Yes. Considerable. All afternoon
an’ evening, I guess. I didn’t hear
him until I called you up."
‘'Then," continued the man from
Blue Lake ranch. “I don’t see any call
for you and me to whisper, Sandy.
What did be say?"
“Said you was a liar, Bud. An’ a
skeerd-of-your-Ilfe d—n bluff."
A faint, shadowy smile touched
Lee’s eyes.
“Just Joshing, Sandy. But that
wasn’t all, ..was It?"
"No," said Sandy, wlplqg his bar
carefully. “There was the other word,
Bud. -An’—say, Billy, tell him what
Quinnion bad to say down to the Jail
bird."
Lee turned his eyes to Billy Young.
Young, a cattleman from the Up end
Down range, shifted his belt and
looked uncomfortable.
“D—n if I do!" he bkirted out. "It
ain’t none of my funeral. An’ If you
ask me, I don’t like the sound of that
kind of talk In my mouth. Maybe I
can’ find my way to church of a Sun
day for staggerin’ with red-eye, but I
ain’t ever drug a nice girl’s name Into
a barroom.”
"So," said Lee very quietly,-"thafa
it, is it?"
“Yes," said Sandy Weaver slowly,
“that’s it, Bud.—Uirjb^oys knowed ol’
Luke Sanford an’ Itked him. Some
,<*f us even knowed his girl. All of
us know the sort she is. When Quin
nion started his talk—oh, it’sfa song
an’ dance about you an’ her all alone
in some d—n cabin, trying ro crawl
out’n the looks of tilings by accusin’
Quinnion of tryln’ to shoot you up!—‘
well, folks )us’ laughed at him. More
recent, somebody must have took him
serious an’ smashed him in the mouth.
He looks like it. But,” and Sandy
shrugged tils thick shoulders elabor
ately, “if it’s up to anybody it’s up to
you.”
For a moment Bud Lee. standing
very straight, his hat fur back, hla
eyes hard and cold, looked from one
to another of the men about him. In
every face lie saw the same thing;
their contempt for a man like Quin
nion, their wordless agreement with
Sandy that It “was up to Bud Lee."
Lee’s face told them nothing.
"Where Is he?" he asked presently.
'‘‘Mos’ likely down to the Jailbird,"
said Billy Young. “That's where he
bangs out lately." I
Lee turned and went out, Carson
at ids heels, all eyeB following him.
In ids heart was a blazing, searing
rage. And that rage.wffs not for Quin
nion albne. He thought of Judith aa
he bad seen her that very night, a
graceful, gray-eyed slip of a girl, the
sweetest little maid In all of the world
known to him—and of how he, brutal
in the surge of love for her, bad swept
her Into his arms, crushed her to him,
forced upon her laughing lips the kiss
of his own.
‘‘My G—d,” he said within hlrnself,
“I was mad. It would be a good thing
if I got Quinnion toniglit—and he got
me. Two of a kind," he told himself
sneering! y.
As be made his way down the ill-
lighted street, his hat draw-trover hla
eyes now. Bud Lee for a moment lost
sight of the rows of rude shanties, tha
drowsing, saddle-ponies, the street-
lamps, and saw only the vision of a
girl. A girl clean and pure, a girl
who, as he bad seen her last, was a
fairylike creature born of music and
soft laughter and starlight, a maid In
describably sweet. In the harshness
of the mood which gripped him, sba
seemed to him superlatively adorabla;
the softness of her eyes at the mn-
ment before he had kissed her haunt
ed him. As he strode on seeking
Quinnion. who had spoken evil of her,
he carried her with him in his heart.
