CHAPTER IX—Continued .
"Will he see again?”
"Jane, my girl, give me another two
weeks. If I thought anybody, anywhere,
would do anything more than Fm do
ing, I’d pat him on the cars tonight.
It’s time, Jane, time.”
If Jane expected to get much In
formation about the Denison Are at
home, she was disappointed. When
she reported It to her father, be was
silent—professing still to feel outraged
at her insubordination. McCrossen was
more communicative, even sympathet
ic: but he knew little about the Are.
After a painful night, Jane rose early
to go again Into town. In the yard
•he encounutered McCrossen.
"Hidin' out?" he asked. »
“I am.” .
‘Til saddle up for yon."
“Have the horses been fed?”
* ”Yep."
'Til saddle np myself.”
"Yonr father rode over to the pas
tures with Page this mornln’," volun
teered McCrossen, walking alongside
Jane. She made no answer; Indeed,
she rather quickened her pace; her
companion stepping up his own.
"Your father left word 1 was to
ride out with yon, if yon went off the
ranch."
"I don't need anybody to ride out
with me.”
"I don't cars a rap what the old
mao says. I ll ride out with yon If
you want me. If yon don't, say no.*
I don't.*

Instead of heeding Irst for town, she
rode ever te Deotooo's ranch.
The sight of the ranch honor rains
was n shock, even though she tried to

Denison's horses to the ham.
"Are you Ben Pager asked Jane
abruptly.

"How did this happen. Bear she
asked sympathlcally.
"You tell." be returned sullenly.
"Tell me all about l^t. Ben. I'm from
Qunlock and a friend of BUI Denl-
■on’s.”
He regarded her with suspicion.
"Must be the only one he's got over
there," he growled.
Jane swallowed. "I hope It Isn't as
bad as that," she exclaimed. "What
caused this dreadful Are, BenT
“How the hell should I know?”
"Don’t know what caused the Ore,
eh? Well, you ought to at least know
how to be civil to a lady. Since you
don't. 1 advise you to come over and
take a lesson from your brother Bull."
Jane galloped swiftly away, more than
ever upset mentally. Once In town, she
sought Dr. Carpy.
She encountered him In the street.
They walked together back to bis of-
Ace.
“How are you, Jane?" asked the doc
tor.
“I Just rode In from Bill’s. He has
fien Page there looking after things,
and the Insolent blockhead wouldn’t
even answer me civilly when I tried
to And out how It happened—so I
rode away Into town."
“That Are has stirred Bill up terri
bly—out of all proportion to Its Im
portance. It maybe was done to annoy
him."
Jane looked frightened. “Why. doc
tor I What do yon mean? Do yon be
lieve the ranch honae waa aet os Are?”
Carpy was taken aback. He had aald
more than ho meant to. "Why. no one
«ma UU tor aura about that, of comma
ftome drunken Indian might have set It 1
aAre."
"To annoy Bill?" asked Jane Incredu
lously.
"You can’t tell," persisted the doc
tor, gathering courage as he proceeded.
“Bill may have made one of ’em mad
sometime—ordered him off the place
or something.
"How Is he coming on. doctor?”
"All right, so far. It'll take time to
tell the story, Jane, Just's I said.”
"Could I see Ifliiii this morning, do
you think?" ^
"If It bras anybody else on earth,
the answer would be no. If you go
over, don’t stay long, and tel) Sister
Virginia It’a O. K. with me." "Be back
here at twelve to take lunch with me—
promise?”
"I promise.”
"And remember”—Carpy raised the
foreAnger of hla right hand—“mum’s
the word ”
The utter absence of authentic de
tails concerning the cause ,of the Are
called for a more active effort on, the
part of the Imagination: and this In
turn Indicated Its stimulation at Jake
Spotts’ bar. So the old guard were
gathered on this morning still discuss
ing the "outrage.”
Among those grouped at the Inner
end of Spotts’ long bar were three vet
erans of the frontier. Henry Sawdy,
calm, portly, pulled reAectlvely at his
long-horned mustachlos and Angered
his well-filled gjass without raising It
to hla Up*. John Lefever. likewise
full-bodied as old port, whistling "sotto
vokey,” as Sawdy described It, twirled
his glass and listened for the next fire
theory offered by Jim McAlpIn, the
thin, nervous, weather-beaten-faced liv
eryman.
Toward this trio there now saun
tered, coming In the front door, the
raw-boned, lantern-jawed, unshaven
BUI Pardaloe.
“What's the last news, boys?" he
asked In a general appeal
"Just like the first and that’s nothin'
at all,” said McAlpIn. "Give me the

The longer the group tarried, the
more resentful they grew at the
thought of BUI Denison's being burned
owt It wss at last decided to let
Sawdy and Pardaloe ride to Deni
son's together to make an “official In
vestigation” They took the Reserve
tloa trail and halfway out met Bob
Scott riding Into town
The two adventurers halted Bob. ex
plained their errand, and asked him
to Join them.
Scott wheeled his horse around, and
the three galloped for Denison's
ranch.
That night, late, Sawdy. Lefever, Mc
AlpIn, Pardaloe, and Ben Page met by
the dim light of a lantern in the atuffy-
suielllng harness room of McAlpln’s
barn.
"Boys," began Sawdy, gravely, when
the doors were carefully shut and out
er approaches examined, "It's Just’s
we figured—dirty work out at Bill’s
ranch. It was lucky Pardaloe and I
picked up Bob Scott. He’s magic on
trailin’. If It hadn't been for Bob,
Pardaloe and me'd been scratchln’
around Bill's place yet. There wasn’t
a thing to show where or bow the
fire started—the Job was too well done.
But what couldn’t be covered up was
the ground sign In the yard. Who'd
been there last? Lucky for us, there
wa’n’t many borses’d been runnln’
around the yard. Bob spotted three;
one was Music, Bill's horse—Ben's been
rldln* her. The other two were Gun-
lock horses, boya. One that Jane rides
—that was fresh track. But there waa
older track—of a Gunlock horse.”
“Gunlock horse?" echoed Lefever.
In the murky light of the lantern
Sawdy pulled hla mustacblo deliber
ately. "A Gunlock horse," he repeat
ed. “And It was the sorrel gelding
that moot of you've seen. Boh knows
every horse Is the hills by his hoofs,
sad as lock would have U. be
traded tbs sorrel to McCi ueetu shoot
a yoer era
"That herse was over to Blll'a place
maybe thirty-six to forty-eight boors
before Scott read the sign. The mas
that rode that horse over to Denison's
night before last knows a lot about
who started that fire. Who rode It?*
"That horse, boys, has been rode by
Barney Rebstock since he's roosted
over at Gunlock with his old pal and
boss, Gus Van Tambel. After Bob fixed
on the sorrel, Pardaloe sends him up
around by Gunlock to acout the ques
tion, who rides the sorrel. Then Perd-
sloe and I rode straight back to town
to tend out Carpy. You see, Bob could
appear up at Gunlock casual-llke and
aak questions and nobody would think
anythin’ about It Bob rides In and out
there often. ^
"Of course, he had to be careful. But
there's two honeat men over them.
Bull Page and the Chink. Bob set down
In the kitchen for a cup of coffee—
hadn't had no breakfast—and buezeu
the Chink. Finally he comes around
to the sorrel he'd traded Hi to tha
ranch, and asks who rides it now.
‘Rebstock,’ says the Chink.
“Then Bob waits* for Bull Page.
He asks Bull whether he thinks there’s
any chance to get McCrossen to trade
the sorrel back to him. Finally ho
asks Bull who’s rldln’ the sorrel Bull
saya since Barney Rebstock come back,
be asked McCrossen If he could fasten
onto the sorrel and McCrossen said
yes."
Sawdy paused again. There waa a
general silence.
"That’s the story, boys. No, hold
on! Bsrney and Van Tambel left the
ranch at daylight this mornln' for the
pastures, with Barney on the sorrel!*
“Story’ enough,” grunted McAlpIn.
“Bat,” he continued. “Barney's pretty
cute. If he was goln’ to start a fire,
wouldn’t he take somebody else'*
horse?’’ .
*T thought that way for"! while*
Intervened Pardaloe. "But Barney can
he careless, too—yon kno# that, boys.
So I aaked Bob to find oat. was Barney
out that night of the fire; waa tho
sorrel out Old Bull Is a nlghthawk
around Gunlock—you know that. Ho
may have suspected what waa in Bob's
mind, but be wouldn't give a whoop
anyway. He hates Barney Uko poison.
He told Bob that Barney waa tbo only
man outside the buokbouae that night
And he heard him tidin' away.”
Bawdy stopped the general dlsrwo-
slon. “Boys, what you gota’ to dor

Jake, ttlll on crutches, waa hobbling
around.
"How’s the leg, Jake?" asked Sawdy,
to he polite.
"By rights 1 ought to be lo bed, but
l can’t afford it."
"Have you sen Barney Rebstock this
evenin’?" asked Lefever, casually.
Spotts’ face darkened—he, too, hated
Barney. "I ain't seen him, and don’t
ask nothin' like that to make me swear.
Boys," he added, addressing the group,
"you know Panama spent a whole year
tryln’ to break me of my bad habit of
swearln’. Now, when It’s too late for
him to know, I’m goln’ to quit swearln*.
I give public notice, here and now, If

got to swear, I’m not goln* to cuss him
out, like I used to. No! I’m Just goln’
to lick h—1 out of him then and there,
so you fellows can tell the boys what
to expect."
At that moment the back screen door
banged on Us hinges and McAlpIn,
sharp-faced, keen-eyed, and out of
breath, rushed Into the room. With
much celerity and many patomimic ges
ture*, the Scotsman drew Sawdy far
Into an empty corner of the saloon.'

(TO SS CONTINUM*
A POOR salesman may be a
genius at gardening; an in
different stenographer sometimes
never suspects her own gift for
cookery, for dress design, for abil
ity to pick up foreign languages.
By thinking candidly about your
self, by being as friendly to your
self as you would be to another,
you can often draw up a picture
nf your tastes, abilities, desires
and hopes which will astonish you.
Take an inventory of yourself,
On to Success-
With It Comes Boldness in New Ideas; Our
Sphere of Friends and Activities Expands
paying special attention to the
things you like but which you have
little of in your daily life. Then
start putting them into it.
From Interest to a Specialty
Often we have to begin slowly
—reading, or finding courses of in
struction within our means, or
working out a program for our
selves in solitude; but every day
something can be done toward the
new way of living. It can grow
from an interest into a hobby,
from a hobby into a side line,
from a side line into a specialty.
Then comes the day when the un
satisfactory work can be given up
(to someone who will find it as
satisfying and as absorbing as we
find our own new field) and suc
cess is at last really and notice
ably on its way to us—or we are
on our way to it.
Vitalizes Character
Then living begins to be fun. We
meet people with the same tastes,
not just the chance acquaintances
who come our way in an uncon
genial profession. Having suc
ceeded once, we begin to' show a
little daring; we try new ideas
more boldly, and our world of
friends and activities expands
even more. Chances we couldn't
wven imagine until we got inside
our real work turn up on every
hand. Best of all, even a small
success has a vitalizing effect oa
cltaracter.
That is the most interesting dis
covery that success brings in its
train: those who are living suc
cessfully make the best friends.
They are free from malice and
spitefulness. They are not petty.
They are full of good talk and hu
mor.—Dorothea Brande in Cosmo
poll tan.

The South Magnetic pole has
not yet been reached. The near
est approach was made by Rosa
