Though the railroad had at last •Upped through It, Rocky Bend wag' etill a bad Uttla town and proud of. ita badness To the northeast lay tha, big timber tracts Into which the Western Lumber company was tearing its destructive way; only nine miles due west were the Rock Creek mines, run-, nlng full blast; on the other sides It was surrounded by cattle ranges, where a lusty brood of young untamed devils were constrained to give them-’ selves soberly to their work during the long, dusty days. But at nighty always on a Saturday evening, there came into Rocky Bend from lumbercamps, mines and cow outfits a crowd, of men whose blood ran red and turI bulent, seeking a game of cards, a | ' whirl at the wheel,” a night of drinking or any other amusement which, fate might vouchsafe them. Good men, ■ and bad, they were all hard men and; quick. Otherwise they would not, have come Into Rocky Bend at all. i Lee and Carson riding out of the; I darkness Into the dim light of the first i straggling street-lamps, passed swiftly , between the rows of weather-boarded 1 shacks and headed toward the Golden ( Spur saloon. , Though the hour was late there?, 1 were many saddle-ponies standing with drooping heads here and there: along the board sidewalks; from more, than one barroom came the gay rag-j time of an automatic piano or the] scrape and scream of a fiddle. Men. lounged up and down the street, amok-, tng, calling to one another, turning la, here or there to have a drink or watch a game. Tlie two newcomers, watching each ■an or group of men, rode on slowly until they came to the building on whose false front was a gigantic spur, tn yellow paint. Here they dismounted. tied their horses, and went In. Carson, with u quick eye toward preparedness for what might lie on the cards, looked for Lee's gun. It wasn’t In his pocket; it wasn't In his waistband, ready to hand. It wasn't anywhere that Carson could see. At the door he whispered warnlngly: “Better be ready, Bud. Ain't lost your gun, hove you?” Lee shook his head and stepped Into the room. At the long bar were three or four men drinking. Quinnion was not among them. There were other men at the round tables, playing draw, solo, stud horse. One glance showed that Quinnion was not in the room. But there were other rooms at the rear for those desiring privacy. Lee, nodding this way and that to friends who accosted him, made his way straight to the bar. "Hello, Sandy,” he said quietly. Sandy Weaver, the bartender, looked at him curiously. A short, heavy, I blond man was Sandy Weaver, who ' ran a fair house and gave his attention strictly to his own business. Save when asked by a friend to do him a favor, such a favor as to keep an eye on another man. “Hello, Bud," returned Sandy, put-| ting out a red hand. All expression; of Interest had fled from his plucldl face. "Come In right away, eh? Hello Carson. Hava somethin'; on me, you know." Lee shook his head. “Not tonight. Sandy," he said. "Thanks just the same.” "Me,” grinned Carson. "I'll go you, Sandy. Same thing—you know.” Sandy shoved out whisky-bottle and glass. Then he turned grave eyes to Lee. "One of these fellers can tend bar while we talk If you want, Bud," he offered. "You say Quinnion has been talking?” asked Lee. "Yes. Considerable. All afternoon an’ evening, I guess. I didn’t hear him until I called you up.” “Then,” continued the man from Blue Lake ranch, “I don't see any call for you and me to whisper, Sandy. What did he say?” "Said you was a liar, Bud. An’ a skeerd-of-your-llfe d—n bluff." A faint, shadowy smile touched Lee’s eyes. "Just joshing, Sandy. But that wasn't all, was It?" "No," said Sandy, wiping hls her carefully. ‘•’There was the other word, Bud. An’—say, Billy, tell him what Qulqulon had to say down to the Jall-

Birar — Lee turned hls eyes to Billy Young. Young, u cattleman from the Up and Down range, shifted hls belt and looked uncomfortable. “D—n If I do!" he blurted out. "It ain’t none of my funeral. An’ If you ask me. 1 don't like the sound of that kind of talk In my mouth. Maybe I can’ find my way to church of a Sunday for staggerin' with red-eye. but I ain't ever drug a nice girl’s name Into a barroom." "So," said Lee very quietly, "thaVg It, Is It?” "Yes,” said Sandy Weaver slowly, “that's it, Bud. Us boys knowed ol' Luke Sanford an' liked him. Some of us even knowed hta girl. All of us know the sort she Is. When Quinnion started his talk—oh, It’s a song dance about you an' her all alone In «oiue d—n cabin, trying to crawl out’n the looks of things by accusin' Quinnion of tryln' to shoot you up!— well, folks jus' laughed at him. More recent, somebody must have took him serious an' smashed him In the mouth. He looks like it. But,” and Sandy shrugged his thick shoulders elaborately, “If It's up to anybody It's up to you," For a moment Bud Lee, standing very straight, fils hat far back, hl* eyes hard and cold, looked from one to another of the men about him. In every face he saw the same thing; their contempt for a man like Quinnion, tbeir wordless agreement with Sandy that It "was up to Bud Lee." Lee’s face told them nothing. "Where is he?” he asked presently. "Mos’ likely down to the Jailbird,” said Billy Young. "That's where he hangs out lately.” Lee turned and went out, Carson at hls heels, all eyes following Idm. In his heart was a blazing, searing rage. And that rage was not for Quinnion alone. He thought of Judith as he had seen her that very night, a graceful, gray-eyed slip of a girl, the sweetest little maid in all of the world known to him—and of how he, brutal in the surge of love for her, had swept her Into hls anus, crushed her to Idm, forced upon her laughing lips the kiss of hls own. ••My G—d,” he said within himself, “I was mad. It would be a good thing If I got Quinnion tonight—and he gotme. Two of a kind,” he told himself sneering! v, (TO BE CONTINUED) Mr. Chester Shoaf and son, Harry, of Preble township, were, in the city today glxiting filiemlh and looking after business interests. —_—o —. — ANTHRACITE Another car of Chestnut Anthracite on tracks at Hougk’s coal yard. $13.50 per ton off car.
