In theae daya with women winning champ',onshlpe In outdoor games and athletic conteete and successfully Invading lines of endeavor that a past generation had set apart exclusively for men. is it not logteal to have a heroine of Action who takes a man's part in the management of a big enterprise and brings to bear the quall- , ties of courage, coolness and daring especially called for in making the undertaking a success? It Is decidedly logical, particularly In the West where girls on ranches are taught to shoot I straight, tame outlaw horses, brand : cattle and in general respects be quailI fled not only to take care of thein- , selves, but to meet any exigency ! calling for judgment and nerve. I The boys of the Blue Lake outfit were pretty thoroughly disgusted when they learned they were to have a girl for a boss. Opinions changed, however, when a few of Judith's quiet exploits, performed under the stress of necessity and without any bravado or sacrifice of womanliness, proved her to be the best man on the big ranch. Judith did not seek the job of management. It was forced upon her through the death of her father and her realization that her foreman was a rascal bent upon wrecking the enterprise In the Interests of a rival concern. It was a stupendous job and the girl who could handle it successfully deserved to be the heroine of an exhilarating romance. Judith Is decidedly i welcome because she is a new type of | heroine. She Is all the more welcome from the fact that she is not an exag- ' Kerated type. There are plenty of girls In the West and elsewhere who. given such a grand old father to train them as Judith had. would be able to show the true steel which she exhibited; and. like Judith, would remain sweet and womanly throughout. Judith will win readers just as she won the Blue Lake boys. It is only fair to reveal that there was one of those boys who held out against surrender. He had old-fashioned notions of what a woman should be and what a woman can 1 do. With the exception of Judith, he is the most interesting character in the story. CHAPTER I I — Bud Lee Wants to Know Bud Lee, horse foreman of the Blue Luke ranch, sat upon the gate of the home corral, bullded a cigarette with slow brown fingers, and stared across the broken fields of the upper valley to the rosy glow above the pine-tim-bered ridge where the sun was coming up. His customary gravity was unusually pronounced. I “If a man's got the hunch an egg Is i bad,” he mused, “is that a good and 'sufficient reason why he should go looking his fingers inside the shell? I iwunt to know!” :■ Tommy Burkitt, the youngest wageearner of the outfit and a profound admirer 9/ all that taciturnity, good humor And quick capability which went into the makeup of Bud Lee, apnr.iJftmd from the ranch-house on the knonß-.*'Hl, Bud!” he called. “Trevors ,wants you. On the jump.' stopped at the gate, looking up ;vt. Lee. “On the jump, Trevors said,"''he' repeated. For a moment Lee sat still, his cigarette unllghted, his broad black hat far back upon his close-cropped hair, hi.s eyes serenely contemplative upon j.Me pink of the sky above the pines/ Then he slipped from his placitf and, though each single movement gave an impression of great lelsiffeliness, it was but a flash of tlmeSntil he stood beside Burkitt. “Stick around a wee bit, laddie,” he said gently, a lean brown hand resting lightly on the boy's square shoulder. “A man can't see what is on the cards until they’re tipped, but It's always a fair gamble that between dawn and dusk I'll gather up my string of colts and crowd on. If I do, you’ll want to come along?” He smiled at young Burkitt’s eagerness and turned away toward the ranch-house and Bayne Trevors, thus putting an early end to an enthusiastic acquiescence. “They ain't no more men ever foaled like him,” meditated Tommy, in an approval so profound as to be little less than out-and-out devotion. And, indeed, one might ride up and down the world for many a day and not find a man who was Bud Lee's superior in “the things that count.” As tali as most, with sufficient shoulders, a slender body, narrow-hipped, he carried himself as perhaps his forebear walked In the days when open forests or sheltered caverns housed them, with a lithe gracefulness born of the perfect play of superb physical development. His muscles, even in the slight movement, flowed Hquidly; he had slipped from his place on the corral gate less like a man than like some great, splendid cat The skin of hands, face, throat, was very dark, whether by inheritance or because of long exposure tt> sun and wind, it would have been difficult to say. The eyes were dark, very keen, awl yet reminiscently grave. From under their black brows they had the habit of appearing to be reluctantly withdrawn from some great distance to come to rest, steady and I I -

calm, upon the man with 'whom be , chanced to be speaking The gaunt, surefooted form was j lost to Tommy's eyes; Lee had passed , beyond the clump of wild lilacs whose , glistening. heart-shaped leaves , screened the open court about which the ranch-house was built. A strangely , elaborate ranch-house, this one. set | here so far apart from the world of ( rich residences. There wai a score , of rooms in the great, one-story, , rumbling edifice of rudely squared i timbers set in field-stone and cement, ' rooms now closed and locked; there 1 were flower-gardens still cultivated dully by Jose, the halt breed; a pretty court with a fountain and many roses, cut upon which a dozen doorways looked; wide verandas with glimpses beyond of fireplaces and long ex- ( piinses of polished floors. For, until recently, this had been not only the headquarters of Blue Lake ranch, but the home as well of the chief of Its several owners. Luke Sanford, whose own efforts alone had made him at forty-five a man to be reckoned with, had followed his fancy here extensively and expensively, allowing himself this one luxury of his many lean, | hard years. Then, six months ago, Just as his ambitions were stepp'ng to fresh heights, Just as his hands were , tilling witli newer, greater endeavor, there had come the mishap in the mountains and Sanford's tragic death. Lee passed silently through the courtyard and came to the door at the far end. The door stood open; within was the office of Bayne Trevors, general manager. Lee entered, his hat still far back upon his head. The sound of his boots upon the bare floor caused Trevors to look up quickly. | “Hello, Lee,” he said quietly. “Walt a minute, will you?” Quite a different type from Lee, Bayne Trevors was heavy and square and hard. His eyes were the glinting gray eyes of a man who Is forceful, dynamic, the sort of man who Is a better captain than lieutenant, whose hands are strong to grasp life by the throat and demand that she stand and deliver. Only because of his wide and successful experience, of his initiative, of his way of quick, decisive action mated to a marked executive ability, had Luke Sanford chosen Bayne Trevors as his right-hand man In so colossal a venture as the Blue Lake ranch, only because of the same pushing, vigorous personality was he this morning general manager, with the unlimited authority of a dictator over a petty principality. In a moment Trevors lifted bls frowning eyes from the table, turning In his chair to confront Lee. who stood lounging in leisurely manner against the door-jamb. “That young idiot wants money again,” he growled, his voice as w “What Would You Say to Fifty Dollars a Head?" | sharp and quick as his eyes. “As If I didn’t have enough to contend witli j already.” ' "Meaning young Hampton, I take It?’’ said Lee quietly. Trevors nodded savagely. "Telegram. Caught ft over the line : the last thing last night. We’ll have to sell some horses this time, Lee.” Lee’s eyes narrowed Imperceptibly. ! “I didn't plan to do any selling for , six months yet," he said, not in expostulation but merely in explanation. “They’re not ready." “How many three-year-olds have ■ you got in your string down in the Big meadow?" asked Trevors erlsply. j "Counting those eleven Red Duke colts?”

'•Counting everything How tunny?”. “•Seventy-three." The general manager's pencil wrote j ipon the pud in front of him "TB," lien swiftly multiplied it by 50. Lee law the result, 8,85 m set down with the dollar sign in front of it. He laid nothing. “What would you say to fifty dollars I head for them?" usked Trevors, shlrllug again in bls swivel chair. •Three tbuusuud six fifty for the lunch?” "I'd say the same?’ answered Lee Jeliberutely, “that I'd say to u mun that offered me two bits for Daylight >r Ladybird. 1 just naturally wouldn't •ay nothing at ali." Trevors smiled cynically. "What are the seventy-three colts worth, then?” “Right now, when I'm Just ready to kreak 'em in," said Bud Lee thoughtfully, “the worst of that string is worth fifty dollars. I’d say twenty »f the herd ought to bring fifty dollars a head; twenty more ought to bring sixty; ten are worth seventyfive; ten are worth an even hundred; seven of the Red Duke stock are good for a hundred and a quarter; the other four Red Dukes and the three Robert the Devils are worth a hundred and fifty a head. The whole bunch, un easy fifty seven hundred little Iron men." He stared hard at Trevors a moment. And then, partially voicing the thought with which he had grappled upon the corral gate, he added meditatively: "There’s something almighty peculiar about an outfit that will listen to a man offer fifty bucks on a string like that." His eyes, cool and steady, met Trevors' In a long look which was little short of a challenge. "Just how far does that go, Lee?" asked the manager curtly. "As far as you like," replied the horse foreman coolly. "Are you going to sell those three-year olds for thirtysix hundred?" | "Yes," answered Trevors bluntly, “I am. What are you going to do about it?" | "Ask for my time, I guess," and although his voice was gentle and even pleasant, bls eyes were hard. "I’ll take my own little string end move on." “Curse It!" cried Trevors heatedly. “What difference does it make to you? Wliat business Is it of yours how I sell? You draw down your monthly pay, don’t you? I raised you a notch lust month without your asking for it, didn't I?” I “That's so," agreed the foreman equably. "It's a cinch none of the boys have any kick coming at the wages." For a moment Trevors sat frowning up at Lee’s Inscrutable face. Then lie laughed shortly. "Look here, Bud,” he said good-humoredly, an obvious seriousness of purpose under the light tone. “I want to talk with you before you do anything raajt- Sit down.” But Lee remained standing, merely saying, "Shoot.” “I wonder,” explained Trevors, “if the boys understand Just the size of the job I’ve got in my hands? You know that the ranch is a mtlliondollar outfit; you know that you can ride fifteen miles without getting off the home-range; you know that we are doing a dozen different kinds of farming and stock-raising. But you don't know Just bow short the money is! There's tiiat young idiot now, Hampton. He holds a third interest and I've got to consider what he says, even if he is a weak-minded, inbred pup that can’t do anything but spend an inheritance like the born fool he is. His share is mortgaged ; I’ve tried to pay the mortgage off. I've got to keep the interest up. Interest alone amounts to three thousand dollars a year. Think of that! Then there’s Luke Sanford dead and his one-third ; Interest left to another young fool, a girl! Every two weeks she's writing | for a report, eternally butting In, : making suggestions, hampering me until I'm sick of the Job." "That w.ould be Luke's girl, Judith?” “Yes. Two of the three owners kids, writing me at every turn. And the third owner, Timothy Gray, the only sensible one of the lot, has just up and sold out his share, and I suppose I'll be hearing next that some superannuated female In an old lady's home has Inherited a fortune and bought him out. And now you, the best man I've got, throw me down 1" "I don’t see," said Lee slowly, after a brief pause, “Just what good It does to sell a good string of horses like they were sheep. Half of that herd is real horse-flesh, I tell you?' SOFT CORNS Money Back Says Smith Yager i & Falk if Moone’s Emerald Oil Doesn’t Do Away With 1 All Soreness and Pain in 24 Hours.

So marvelausiy powerful is Moone’s Emerald Oil that thousands have found it give wonderful results in the treatment of dangerous swollen or varicose vains. Smith Yager & Falk is selling lots of it.

"Well," snapped Trevors "tuppose you are right I've got to raise three I thousand dollars In a hurry Where will 1 get it?" "Who la offering fifty dollars s head for those horses?" asked Leo abruptly. “It tulght be the Big Western Lumber company P' "Ye»." “Uh huh. Well, you can kill the rats In your own barn, Trevors I’ll go look fur a Job somewhere else " Bayne Truvors, hlg Bps tightly compressed, his eyes steady, a faint, angry fluaii In his cheeks, checked what words were flowing to bls tongue and looked keenly at bls foreman Leo met his regard with cool unconcern. Then, just as Trevors was about to speak, there camo an Interruption. The quiet of the morning wua broken by the quick thud of a horse's shod hoofs on the hard ground of tire courtyard Bud Lee In the doorway turned to tee a strange horse druwn up so tbst upon Its four bunched boofa It slid to a standstill; saw a slender figure, which In the early light he mistook for a boy, slip 0114 GT~'s taUiHe. And then, suddenly, - a girl, the spurs of her little riding boots tasking Jingling music on the verunda, her rldlng-qulrt swinging from her wrist, had stepped by him and was looking with bright, snapping eyes from him to Trevors. "1 am Judith Sanford," she announced briefly, and there was a note in her young voice which went ringing, bell-like, through the still air. “Is one of you men Bayne Trevors?" A quick, shadowy smile came and went upon the lips of Bud Lee. It struck him that she might have said in Just that way: "I am the queen of England and I am running my own kingdom I" He looked at her with eyes filled with open Interest and curiosity, making swift appraisal of the flush in the sun browned cheeks, the confusion of dark, curling hair disturbed by her furious riding, the vivid, red blooded beauty of her. Mouth and eyes and the very carriage of the dark head upon her superb white throat announced boldly and triumphantly that here was no wax-petaled illy of a lady but rather a maid whose blood, like the blood of the father before her, was turbulent and hot and must boll like a wild mountain-stream at opposition. Her eyes, a little darker thun Trevors', were the eyes of fighting stock. Trevors, irritated already; turned hard eyes up at her from under corrugated brows. He did not move In his chair. Nor did Lee stir except that now he removed his hat. 1 "I am Trevors," said the general manager curtly. “And, whether you are Judith Sanford or the queen of Slam, I ain busy right now." I “You talk soft with me, Trevors!" cried the girl passionately, “If you want to hold your Job five minutes! I’ll tolerate none of your high and mighty airs!" Trevors laughed at her, a sneer In bls laugh “I talk the way 1 talk," he
