Painstakingly he estimated, to the head, the number of cattle the pastures should be carrying, counting from long ex; perlence upon the hard months tq come from August until December 1 estimating values; appearing at tiiq week's end to suggest the purchase o| a herd of calves from the John Peters Dairy company, to be had now at a, very attractive figure. Busy days for the foremen who had held over from, the management of Trevors or who had been taken on since. The first crop of alfalfa, shot through with foxtails, must be cut without delay and fed into the silos before the beards of the Interloping growth could be hardened. Busy days for the shorthanded milking crew; busy days of installing the new milking machines. With Saturday came Pollock Hampton and his guests. Trevors had misnamed him a fool, sweepingly mistaking youth, business Inexperience and a careless way, for lack of brains. ' Just a breezy young fellow, likable, gay-hearted, keen of the joy of life, scarcely more than a boy, after all. He came to the ranch; prepared to like everything and everybody. j "Look here!" he exclaimed to Judith, before she had had time for more than a sweeping appraisal of his friends. ’’Why didn’t you tell me you were up to a thing like this? Great Scott, Judith, you don’t know what you are tackling, do you? Running a ranch like this—why, It’s a big proposition for a tbunderlngly big man to swing.” “Is it?" smiled Judith. Accompanying young Hampton were ■’.Major" Langworthy, a little, short, fat, bald gentleman, who, so far as the knowledge of bis club members went, had never been connected with any part of the army or navy, unless one counted his congenial brigades of cocktail drinkers; Mrs. Langworthy, his supercilious, uninteresting wife; Marcia, his languidly graceful I daughter, In whom Hampton gave ' certain slgns-bf being considerably Interested; Marshall Rogers, the Oakland lawyer, and Frank Farris, the artist. Also Marcia's maid, and Hamilton's Japanese valet, Fujloki. In due course of time this representative of the flowery kingdom grew to be great friends with Jose, the two forthwith suspected by Mrs. Simpson j of all sorts of dark plots and of a racial sympathy which must be watched lest It produce “something terrible.” I Pollock Hampton, holding a third of the shares of the big venture, with hfs legitimate claim upon a third of the income, was of course a factor which must be taken into account. Judith asked frankly how long he planned to stay. "I'm here for good,” he answered cheerfully. His explanation followed with a grin, quite ns though he were telling her of some rare good news: “Money's all gone, creditors are nuisances, there’s no prospect with you here of haring you Send me anything. What is left for me but to stay?” Judith suggested a monthly allowance. Hampton laughed good-humor-edly. . , ' “Pay me to keep me out °f tne way? There’s nothing stirring. Judith. Absolutely. I'm here to give a i hand." . Judith had hopes, even yet, that a couple of weeks or a month at the most, of life as it runs forty miles i from a railroad would dampen and ! finally extinguish his bright enthusiasm' But swiftly those hopes died. This was Ms first visit to the mountains, and f nr H ,I ”’ n s * c k 8 social round, every inch of ranch, river and cliffs and rolling hills had Its compelling interest. Perhaps the thing which Judith overlooked was the blood of his fathers. For before Pollock Hampton, Sr., had made bls nionev. he and his wife had been, like Luke Sanford, pioneers. Now something in the mountains here called vaguely to the soul of young Hampton and marie him restless and stirred 1 his heart. As he stood looking on | while Bud Lee rode a bucking bronco, bis eyes were bright and eager. I It gooa becir#® obvious that long j ago Hampton. Lad- fitKU- t££l£

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1926.

admiration to Bayne Trevors? "A great man!” cried Hampton warmly. "The only man I know big enough to swing a job like this." To himself he said that the chief good he could do nt the outset was to work to get Trevors back. With this In his mind and having had no full account of Judith's manner of ejecting the general manager, he went straight to her. "Trevors Is a friend of mine," he said lightly. "I'm going to ask him over to meet my guests. No objection Is there?” She looked at him keenly. "Do as you please,” was the cool answer. "I imagine he won't care to. come.” Launched upon his first business venture, Hampton went to the tele-' phone. That evening at the table he surprised Judith not a little when he said casually that Trevors had said he'd run over in a day or so, as soon as he could find time. Mrs. Langworthy had no liking to bestow upon such as Judith. The girl,' she confided every night to the major, was unladylike, unwomanly, outre, horsy, unthinkable, an Insult to any woman into whose presence she cam». The major agreed monosyllabically or with silent nods for the sake of peace. Personally he was rather inclined to fancy Judith's uncorseted figure, to admire her red-blooded beauty, and he always touched up the ends if his mustaches in her presence. Judith, having early taken Mrs. Langworthy's measure, found an Impish joy in murdering the proprieties for her especial benefit. She said "D —n" upon occasions when Mrs. Langworthy was there to hear; at table she talked of prize boars and sick calves and other kindred vulgar matters. But the major admired her; Marcia, as days went by, proved to be a sweettempered, somewhat timid, but highly good-natured, affectionate creature generously offering her good-will; and Rogers, the lawyer, and Farris, the artist, both of the sophisticated, selfsufficient type, were little behind the major in interest. During the last week of May, a rumor came to Judith's ears of which, at first, she thought little. Carson, coming to her upon n bit of ranch business, remarked dryly before taking his departure, that a report had got around among his men —Poker Face had mentioned It to him —that Blue Lake rancli was on its last legs; that It was even to be doubted. If the men ever saw another pay day before the whole affair went into a receiver's hands. Judith laughed at him and told him not to worry. “Me?” said Carson. "I’m not the worrying kind. But idecs like that ain't good to have floating around. A man won't do more’n half work when he's wondering all the time if he's going. to get his mazuma for it.” But. when again the rumor came, this time telephoned up to her from the Lower End by Doc Tripp, she frowned and wondered. And she was careful, upon the thirtieth of May, to send Charlie Miller, the storekeeper, into Rocky Bend fog the monthly pay roll money. Charlie left for Rocky Bend in the afternoon, spending the night in town to get the customary morning start for the ranch. The men were to be paid at six o'clock. Upon this same day Pollock Hampton told Judith that Bayne Trevors was coming to the ranch to have dinner, spending the night and the following day. Judith made' no reply beyond fapnring him with a quick look of question. She had not believed that the man would come. What next? The last day of May came, and true to his promise, Trevors was a guest, at the house from which, so short; a time ago, he had been evicted. Be dined there that night, cool and selfconfident, casually polite to Judith, civil and courteous to the other guests, especially to Major and Mrs. Langworthy and Marcia, leading conversations unobtrusively, ■ making himself liked. The morning after Trevors’ arrival, Judith was up betimes and breakfasted Lunching early, nooifi found the office expecting Charlie She was at work on the pay roll book when her telephone rang. It was Doc Tripp and there was suppressed excitement in his voice. “Bad news, Judy,” he began. "It sure looks as though you were getting your share.” “What is it. Doc?” she broke in sharply. “Tell me 1” “It's Charlie Miller. Hurt. No, fiot had. Thrown off his horse, back in Squaw Creek canion, And—robbed?’ (TO HU COWT»NI'HI» G. E.
