CROOKED TRAILS I
AND STRAIGHT
(Continued from preceding page)
The least among them physically
was Luck Culllsou, yet he was their
recognized leader. There was some
innate quality in this man with the
gray, steel-chilled eyes that marked
hint as first In whatever company he
chose to frequent. A good friend and
a good foe, men thought seriously hefore
they opposed him. He had made
himself u power In the Southwest because
he was the type that goes the
limit when aroused.
While Alec Flandrau shuffled and
dealt, the players reluxed. Cigars
were relit, drinks ordered. Conversation
reverted to the ordinary topics
that Interested Cattlelnnd. The price
of cows, the gopd rains, the time of
the fall roundup, were touched upon.
The door opened to let in a newcomer,
a slim, graceful man much
younger than the others present, and
one whose costume and manner
brought additional color Into the picture.
Flandrau, senior, continued to
shuffle without turning his head. Cullison
also had his hack to the floor,
hut the man hung his broad-rimmed
gray hat on the ruck?beside an exactly
similar one that belonged to the
owner of the Circle C?and moved
leisurely forward till he was within
range of his vision.
"Going to prove up soon on the Del
Oro claim of yours, Luck?" asked
Flandrau.
lie was now dealing, his eyes on
the cards, so that he missed the embarrassment
In the faces of those I
about hltti. '
"On Thursday, the first day the law
allows," Cullison answered quietly.
Fhindrau chuckled. "I reckon Cass
Fcndrlck will he some sore."
Something in the stx-ainod silence
struck the dealer as unusual. Ho
looked up and showed a momentary
confusion.
"Dbln't know you were there, Cass.
Looks like I put my foot In It sure
that time. I ee'tninly thought you
were an absentee," he apologized.
"or you wouldn't have been talking
about me." retorted Fcndrlck acidly.
"Or You Wouldn't Have Been Talking
About Me," Retorted Fendrick.
The words were flung at Flundrau, but
plainly they were meant as a challenge
for Cullison.
Fendrick passed to the rear room
for it drink Vll< i tii i m?<>d<>d
fortifying, for he knew that since he
had embarked In the sheep business he
was not welcome at this club, that in
fact certain members had suggested
his name be dropped from the hooks.
Before he returned to the poker table
the drink he had ordered became i
three.
The game was over and accounts
were being straightened. Cullison
was the heavy loser. The settlement
showed that the owner of the Circle
C was twenty-five hundred dollars behind
the game. IJe owed Mackenzie
twelve hundred, Flandrau four hurt- i
dred, and three hundred to Yesler.
With Fendrlck sitting In an easy
ehulr last across the room, be found
It a little difficult to say what other- \
wise would have been a matter ok'
course.
"My bank's busted Just now, boys.
Rave to ask you to let It stand for a
few days?say till the end of th?
week."
Fendrlck laughed behind the paper
he was pretending to reud. He knew
quite well that Luck's word was au
good as his bond, but he chose to suggest
a doubt.
"Maybe you'll explain the Joke to
us, Cass," the owner of the Circle C
said verv ciuletlv
"oli, I whs Just laughing nt the
tilings I see. Luck," returned the
younger tnun with nlry offense. Ills
eyes on the printed sheet. "Any law
against laughing?"
Cullison turned his back on him.
"See you on Thursday If that's soon
enough, hoys." Without looking again
at Fendrlck he led the way to the
street.
The young man, left alone, cursed
softly to himself and ordered another
drink. He knew he was overdoing It,
hut the meeting with Cullisou hud annoyed
him exceedingly. The men had
never been friends, and of late years
they had been leaders of hostile camps.
Both of them could be overbearing,
and there was scarcely a week hut
their Interests overlapped. Finally
hu?l coine open hostility. Cass leused
from the forestry department the land
upon which Culllson's cattle had always
run free of expense. Upon this
he had put sheep, a thing In Itself of
great Injury to the cattle Interests.
The stockmen had all been handed together
in opposition to the forestry administration
of the new regime, and
Luek regarded Fendrlck's action as
treachery to the common cause.
He struck hard. In Arizona the
open range la valuable only so long
as the water holes also are common
property or a private supply available.
The Circle C cattle and thoae
of Fen,drlck came down from the range
to the Del Oro to water at a point

spreading valley. This bit of meadow
Luek humesteuded and fenced on the
north side, thus cutting the cattle of
his enemy from the river.
Cuss was furious. He promptly tore
down the fence to let his cattle and
sheep through. Cttlllson rebuilt It, put
up a shack at a point which commanded
the approach, and set a guard
ujhjm |t day apd night. Open warfare
had ensued, PRd ?ue of sheep
herders had beep beaten because he
persisted In crossing the dead line.
Now Cullison was going to put the
legal seal ou the matter by making ; '
final proof on his homestead. Cass
knew that If he did so It would prac- '
tlcally put him out of business. He '
would be at the mercy of his foe, who
could ntin him if he pleased. Luck ; 1
would be In a position to dictate terms j
absolutely.
Fendrlck felt that there must be
some way out of the trap If he could
only find lb Whenever the thought of
eating humble pie to Luck came Into
his mind the rage boiled In him. lie
swore lie would not do It. Bettor u
hundred times to see the thing out
to a fighting finish.
Taking the broad-brimmed gray hut
he found on the rack Oass passed out
of the clubhouse and Into the sun- i
bathed street.
Cullison and his friends proceeded
down l'nimge street to the old piu/.u
where their hotel was located. All
along the route they scattered nods of :
recognition, friendly greetings and '
genial hunter. One of them?the inuu I
who had formerly been the hard-riding,
quick-shooting sheriff of the connty?met
ulso scowls once or twice, to i
which lie was entirely indifferent. He
had made enemies, despenfto and tin
scrupulous ones, who had sworn to
wipe him from among the living, and
one of these he was now to meet for i
the first time since the man hud stood j
bundcuHVd before hltn, livid with fury, I ,
and had sworn to cut his heart out nt ;
the earliest chance.
It was in the lobby of the hotel Hint {
Cullison came pluinp against l.ute
Blackwell. For Just a moment they
stared nt each other before the former
sheriff spoke. '
"Out again, eh, Blackwell?" lie said '
easily. I 1
From t lie bloodshot eyes one could
have told nt a glance the man had '
been drinking heavily. From whisky 1
he hud imbibed a Dutch courage just l
bold enough to he dungerous. j '
"Yea, I'm out?and back again, just 1
as I promised, Mr. Sheriff," he threat- J
ened.
The cattleman Ignored his manner. |
"Then I'll give you a piece of advice
gratia. 1'apngo county has grown
away from the old days. It hna got
past the two-gun man. He's gone to
join the antelope and the painted Indian."
!
The fellow leaned forward, sneering
so that his ugly mouth looked like u
crooked gash. "How about the one- '
gun man, Mr. Sheriff?" j
"He doesn't last long now."
"Doesn't he?"
The man's rage boiled over. But
Luck wua far and away the quicker
of the two. His left hand shot forward
and gripped the rising wrist, bis
right caught the hairy throat and
tightened on ft. He shook the convict
as If ha had been a child, and

Mr. Woolen Thinks Much ol ZIRON Becausi
It Made Him His Old Sell Again.
Sick people do not get much out of life.
In order to enjoy your meals, to do youi
work well, you must be strong and
healthy.
Hale, weak, nervous people tre<|uently
need iron to enrich their blood and to restore
vitality to their system, and a good
way to supply the iron is tt> follow the
example ot Mr. Clayton Wooten, ot Scotland,
(ja., who used Ziron Iron I onic and
lias this to say about it:
"I have taken Ziron according to directions
and 1 can truthfully say that it is
fine tonic. It has done me all the good. i
S'nce 1 began taking it, 1 have gained eight *
p< unds in weight and enjoy eating three
meals a day. 1 shall do all 1 can to recommend
Ziron."
Try Ziron! Your druggist sells Ziron
on a guarantee to refund your money if
the first bottle fails to benefit. You cannot
lose anything, but very likely will
gain much, by getting a bottle of Ziron,
today!
