Trevors; that Trevors, for purposes of his own, had given instructions that the letter be addressed to Hampton; thgt this was the first sign of a fresh cimpalgn directed against her from the dark; that trouble was again beginning. Thoughtfully she smoothed out the letter, Impaling it on her tile. Pollock Hampton, Foreman-at-Large, die and went on the ranch, carrylog orders, taking always a keen Intereat In whatever work fell to hand, in Intereit of a fresh kind, in that it born of a growing understanding. The men grew to like him; Bud Lee tactfully sought to acquaint him with miny ranch matters which would prova of value to him. Carsou.. jiow»v»r, grown nervous over the new, method In stock raising still In Its ex-< perlmental stage, wus given to take' toy suggestion from Hampton In the, light of a personal affront. “D—n him," he growled deep in his throat when Hampton had ridden out with word to shift one of the herds Into a fresh pasture, an act on which Canon had already decided, “some day I’ll just take him between my thum’ an’ finger an’ annl-hilate him.” The greater bulk of the stock had been steadily shifted higher in the hills. The hogs grazed on the slopes it the north of the Lower End; cat-, tie and horses had been pushed east-' ward to the little valleys in the mountains about the lake. Even the plateau, where the old cabin stood, was sow stocked with Lee’s prize string of horses. Then one day Hampton came galloping through the herds of ihorthorns, seeking Carson. "Crowd them down to the Lower find again," he shouted above the din. "Cut out the scrawny ones and haze the rest Into the pens." Carson's steel-blue eyes snapped, his teeth showed like a dog’s. "Drunk?" he sneered. “What’s eating you?" “Do as you’re told,” retorted Hampton hotly. "Those are orders from headquarters and It's up to you to “bey them. Get me?” “If ever I do get you, sonny,” grunt’d Carson, “there won’t be enough of you left for the dawgs to quarrel over. Orders or no orders, I ain’t going to do such fool thing.” Hampton reined his horse in closer, ’taring frownlngly at the old cattlewan. The purplish color of rage mounted in Carson's tanned cheeks. “You’D do what you’re told or go K’t your time,” he announced tersely. “IVe’ve got an order for five hundred b*ef cows and we’re selling immediately,” , Carson’s jaw dropped. “What?" he demanded, not quite believing his ears. “Say that again, will you?” "I said It once,” retorted Hampton. ‘Now get busy.” “Who are we selling to? I ain’t board about It.” An oversight, my dear Mr. Carson,” uughed Hampton, his own anger risen. Quite an oversight that you were not ““hbulted. We are selling to Doan, Rockwell & Haight Ever heard of them?” “Who says we’re selling?” 11 say so. And, if you’ve got to have all the news. Miss Sanford says w." -ifihe dogs she? Hm-m. First

( uritMl wlth brows, stared after him. But orders were orders, and Carson though the heart was sore, barked out his commands to his herders to turn the cattle back toward the lower fields. He had been converted to the new way, he hud grown to dreum of the fat prices his cow brutes would fetch In the winter market, he knew that prices now were rock bottom low that Doan, Rockwell & Haight were close buyers who before now hud cut the throat of the Blue Lake ranch in sacrifice sales when Bayne Trevors' ran the outfit. "Were standing to lose thousand an thousand of dollars," he told himself in disgust. "All we’ve spent on' Irrigation un’ fences an’ silos an’ ditches, all gone to heck in a han'.; basket. Not counting thousand of more dollars lost in selling at what we can get this time of vear It makes me sick, d-n throwin’-up sick." Hiding down a long, winding trail, out through a patch of chaparral into a rocky gorge, Hampton turned east again toward the high plateau. Taking the roundabout way which led from the far side of the lake and along the flank of the mountain to the table-land, he came to a scattering band of horses and Tommy Burkitt, i “M here’s Lee?’’ called Hampton. Burkitt grinned at him byway of greeting, and then pointed across the plateau to a ravine leading to a still higher, smaller, shut-in valley. Humpton galloped on and a quarter of an hour later came up with Lee. The horse foreman was sitting still in his •addle, his eyes taking stock of a fresh bit of p»‘.ure into which he planned tur _.g his horses a little later. It was one of a dozen small meadows on the mountain creeks where the canyon! walls widened out Into an ovalshaped valley, less than a half-mile, long, where there was much rich gruss. “Hello, Hampton,” called I.ee pleasantly. "What’s the word?” The perspiration streaming down Hampton’s face had in no way dampened his ardor. "Big doings,” he cried warmly. "We’re cutting loose, Bud, at last and piling up the shining ducats! You’re, to gather up a hundred of the most likely cayuses you've got and shove them down to the Lower Eml. We're selling pretty heavily to Doan, Rockwell & Haight." A new flicker came Into Lee’s eyes. Then they went hard as polished agate. “I didn’t quite get you, Hampton.” he said softly. "You say we’re selling a hundred horses? Now?” Hampton nodded, understanding nothing of what lay in Lee’s heart. "On the Jump, Just as fast as we call .get them on the run,".he suld triumphantly. “Judith wanted me to tell you.” "I see,” answered Lee slowly. His eyes left Hampton’s flushed face' and went to the distant dirt’s, it was no way of Bud Lee's to idde his eyes from a man, and yet now he did hide them. He did not want Hampton to see what they showed so plainly, In spite of his attempt to master his emotion. He was hurt. Long ago he ! offended Judith, and she bud wolt-i ed until now to repay his rude insult with this cool little slap in the face. She hail not consulted him, she bad not mentioned a sale to him, and now she sent Hamilton and did not even come to him with a word of explana-. tlon. It was quite as If she had said: “You are Just a servant of mine, like the rest, Bud I.ee, and 1 treat you accordingly.” (TO BE CONTINUED) Explosion Wrecks Home; Five Persons Injured West Bridgewater, Mass., June 2.
