»ldith BLUE ■/ LAKE RANCH r-> JACKSON GREGOR! COPYIUGtA BYW" CHARLES SCIUBNEBS SONS •

Synopsis CHAPTER I.—Bud Lee, hof.e foreman of the Blue Lake ranch, convinced Bayne Trevors, manager, le de-, llberately wrecking th* propertyowned by Judith Sanford, a young w °m“ n - her couain. Pollock Hampton, and Timothy Gray, decldea to throw up hla job. Judith arrives and announces •he haa bought Gray’. share in the ranch and will run It. She dlacharges I Trevors. CHAPTER ll.—The men on the l ranch dislike taking orders from a I girl, but by subduing a vicious horge . and proving her thorough knowledge Os ranch life, Judith wins the but. I of them over. Lee decides to stay. “Wouldn't that choke you?” deI mantled Carson, the cow foreman, a thin, awkward little man, gray In the service of "real men.” •'Taking orders off'n a fool easterner’s bad enough. But old man or young, Bud?" “Jugt a kid,” was Lee's further dampening news. And as he nonchalantly buttered his hot cakes he added carelessly: "Something of a scrapper, though. Just put two thirty-two calibers into Trevors.” They stared at Idm Incredulously. Then Carson’s dry cackle led the laughter. “You're the biggest liar, Bud Lee," I said the old man good-naturedly, “I ever focused my two eyes on. I'll lay an even bet there ain't nobody showed a-tall up this morning.” “You, Tommy," said Lee to the boy at bls side, “sliovel your grub down lively and go hitch Molly and old Pieface to the buckboard. That's orders, from headquarters,” he grinned. “Trevors Is to be hauled away first thing." Tommy looked curiously at his superior. “On the level, Bud?” he asked doubtingly. “On the level, laddie,” was the ' quiet response. And young Burkitt, wondering, but doubting no longer, hastened with his breakfast. The others, looking at Lee's sober face questloningly, fired a broadside of Inquiries at him. But they got no further information. "I’ve told you boys all the news,” he annouriced positively. "Lord ! Isn't that an earful for this time of day? The real boss is on the job: Trevors Is winged; you are to stick around for orders from headquarters.” Out of the tall of bis eye he saw the swift approach of Bayne Trevors. The general manager's face was black with rage and through that dark wrath showed a dull red flush of shame. He walked with bis two arms lax at his sides. "Give me a cup of coffee, Ben,” he commanded curtly, slumping into a chair. “Hurry!” Benny, looking nt him curiously, brought a steaming cup and offered it. Trevors moved to lift a hand; then sank back a little farther in his chair, his face twisting In his pain. "Put some milk in it,” he snarled. “Then hold it to my mouth. For the love of heaven, hurry, man!" Then no man there doubted longer the mad tale Bud Lee had brought them. Down from Trevors' sleeves, staining each band, there had cotne a broadening trickle of blood. Trevors drank swiftly, draining the cup. "Get this coat off jue,” he cpm- - manderi. "Curse you, don't tear my ' arms off! Slit the sleeves.” I It was Lee who, pushing the clumsy cook aside, silently made the two bandages from strips of Trevors' shirt. It was Lee who brought a flask of brandy from which Trevors drank deep. I And then came Judith. I Tlray stared at her as they might have done had the heavens opened and an angel come down, or the earth split and a devil sprung up. She looked In upon them with quick, keen eyes which sought to take every man's measure. They returned her regard with a variety amazed expressions. Never since th*e men had come to work for Bayne Trevors had a woman so much as ridden by the door. And to have her stand tl>ere< composed, utterly at her, ease, her air vaguely I authoritative, a vitally vivid being who might, suddenly, have taken tangible form from the dawn, bewildered them. "I am Judith Sanford." she said in her abrupt fashion, quite as she had made the announcement to Lee and Trevors. "This outfit belongs to me. I have fired Trevors. You take your orders straight from me from now on. Cookie, give me some coffee.” She came in without ceremony and sat down at the head of the table. Benny hastily bropght the coffee. From some emotion certainly not clear to him be went a violent red. Perhaps the emotion was just sheer embarrassment. He brought hot cakes with one hand ’ while with the other he buttoned his i gaping shirt-collar over a bulging, I hairy chest | Men who had finished their breakfasts rose hqstily with a marker- awkwardness and JU-cpncQuigu

went outside, whence their low voices came back in a Confused consultation. Men who had not finished followed them. In an amazingly short time there were but the girl, Lee, Trevors and the cook In the room. Bud Lee, ■ moving with his usual leisureliness, ; was following when Judith's cool voice said quietly: "You, Lee, wait a moment. I want to talk with you.” I.ee hesitated. Then he came back and waited. The men outside naturally grouped about the general manager. His angry voice, lifted clearly, reached the two hi the room. “I’.m fired,” said Trevors harshly. "As soon as I onn got going I am leaving for the Western Lumber camp. Every one of you boys holds his Job here because I gave It to him. Do you want to hold It now, with a fool girl Jelling you what to do? Do you want men up and down the state to laugh at you and Jeer at you for a pack- of softies and Imbeciles? Or do you want to roll your blankets and quit? Tj> every man that Jumps the job here and follows me today I promise a Job with the Western. You fellows know the sort of boss I've been to you. You can guess the sort of boss that chicken in there would be. Now I'm going. It's up to you. Stick to a white man or fuss around for a woman?” He had said what he had to say and. cursing when bls shoulder struck a form near film, made his way down to tlie staldes. Burkitt was ahead of him, going for tlie team. "Well, Lee,” said Judith sharply, “where do you get off? Do you want to stick? Or shall I count you out?” “I guess," said Bud very gently, "you'd better count me out.” “You're going with that crook?” "No. I’m going on my own.” “Why? You're getting good money here. If you're square I'll keep you at tlie same figure.” But Bud shook his head. "I’m game to play square,” he said slowly. “I'll stick a week, giving you a chance to get a man in my place. That’s all." "What’s the matter with you?” she cried hotly. “Wiry won't you stay witli your job? Is it because you don’t want to take orders from hie?” Then I.ee lifted ids grave eyes to tiers and answered simply: "That's it. I'm not saying you're not all right. But I got It figured out, there's Just two kinds of ladies. If you want to know, I (ion't see that you've got any call to tie into a man’s Job.” “Oh, scat!” cried the girl angrily. “You men make me tired. Two kinds of ladles. And ten thousimd kinds of , men! You want me to dress like a doll, I suppose, and keep my bands soft and white and go around like a brainless, simpering fool! Tliere are two kinds of Indies, my fine friend: the kind -that can and the kind that can’t! Thank God I’m none of your precious, sighing, hothouse little fools!” Gulping down a last mouthful of coffee, she was on her feet and passed . swiftly out among the men. “You men!" she cried, and they turned sober eyes upon her; "listen to me! You’ve heard that big stiff rant; • now hear tqe! I'm here liecnuse I be- , long here. My dad was Luke Sanford and he made this ranch. I was raised • here. It's two-thirds mine right now. •Trevors there is a crook and I told him 30. He’s been trying .to sell me out, do .make such a failure of the outfit that I'd have to let it go for a comic jsong. He got gay and I fired him. ■He tried to manhandle me nnd I plugged him. And now I'm going to ' run my own outfit! What have you got to say about it, you grumbling old , grouch with the crooked face! Put ,up or shut up! I’m calling you!” The men turned from her to Ward Hannon, the field foreman, who had been Trevors' right-hand man and who no\v was sneering openly, "I'm saying It's no work for a kid of a girl,” grumbled Hannon. "Yo)i run an outfit like this?” He laughed derisively. "It can't be did.” UJt can't, can't It?" cried Judith. "Tell me why, old smarty. Spit It out lively.” i Jake Carson's shrill cackle cut through a low rumble of laughter. “That’s passing It to him straight,” said the old cattleman. “What's the word, Ward?” Ward Hannon shrpgged his shoulders and spat Impudently. "I ain't saying nothing," he growled, "only this: I got a right to quit, ain't I? Well, I'm quitting. Any time you ketch me working for a female girl that can't ride a horse 'thout failin'’ off, that can't see a pig stuck 'thout fainting, that can't walk a mile ’thout getting laid up, tluit can't. . . .” "Slow up there!” colled Judith. "Didn't I stick a pig already this morning, and have I keeled over yet? Didn't I ride tlie forty miles from Rqgky Bend last night and jjet here

before sunup? Llstou to mi-, chief kicker: K you've got a horse on the ranch 1 can't ride I’ll quit right now end give yon my Job I How's that strike you? I tell you the word on this ranch Is going to be ‘Put up or shut mil’ Which la it, Growly?" Again the men laughed aud Hannon's face showed his unger. "Mean tliut, Indy?” he demanded UrJelly. "You cun Just bet your eyes I mean It!” Hannon turned toward the stable. "All right. We’ll see who's going to put up or shut up I" he jeered over his shoulder. "You ride the Prince just •two little minutes and I'll stay and work for you I” Bud Lee from the doorway Interfered. He was a map who loved fair play and he know the I’rlnce. "None of tliat, Ward," he called gteruly. "Not the Prince I" But Judith, her eyes aflame, whlrlM upon Lee, her voice like a whip as she said: "Lee, you keep out of tills. The sooner you learn who's running tilings here tlie better for you.” "Maybe so," snid Lee quietly. "Kitt don’t you fool youwelf you can ride Prince. There’s not <i man on the Job except me tliat can ride him." it was not boastfully said, but with calm assurance. “Mo's an outlaw, Miss Judith. He's the liorae thut killed Jimmy Carpenter hist spring, and Jimmy—” "Go ahead. Ward.” Judith repeated. 'T've got something to do today besides play pussy-waitte-a-corner with you boys.” Ward went, his eyes filled with ' malice. Two or three of the other men Joined their voices to Bud's and Carson’s, exposlulailng, telling of that fearful thing, an outlaw horse. Judith maintained a sconiful 'silence. In due time Ward came back. He ; was lending a saddled horse, a great, ! wild-eyed roan that .snapped viciously i as he came on. walking with the wide, , spreading stride of n horse little used l to the saddle. Judith measured him ! with her eyes as she had measured < tlie men in the bunkhouse. “He's an ugly devil,” she said, and ' I.ee, at her side, smiled again. But , the girl laid not altered her inten- 1 tlnn. She stepped closer, looking to I cinch, bit and reins. She commanded ( Ward to draw tlie latigo tighter, and | Ward did so, dodging back as the big < brute snapped at him. Judith laughed. “Look out, Ward,” ' she taunted him. “He's after your i hair!” ' <l'o HE <<>VIIMEI>I O , Oswald Ryan Speaks At Portland Thursday Portland, lad., April 23—(United ■Press) —Government aid for (armors • was urged again as the moat impera- ; ' five need, of the present, by Oswald i
