Jack Douglas, after 1 an absence of sis years Lola is the adopted daughter of Jack’s Aunt 1 Ines Her friend. Alison Neale, < owner of the neighboring ranch, hopes Jack is the lender they are waiting for to fight the raiders. In i an adobe up the trail two men also discuss Jack's return “If you're wise you won't let Jack Douglas I i live two days once he comes back,** leys one.

The marauders usu--1 ally station guards along the way to ward off pursuit so, shortly after, when a lone rider arrives on the scene, Douglas believes it to be one i of the guards and makes a flying 1 tackle only to discover his victim is Alison Neale! She had been trailing the raiders and suggests that the men accompany her Jack is willing but Paston says it would be foolhardy. As the girl rides off in anger, Ed remarks. "I wonder j just how much she really wanted ! us to follow that band.” Later i Jack arrives home and receives a ! warm welcome from his aunt. As he prepares to retire, he looks up to see Lola standing in the doorway. Jack enfolds her in his arms, whispering "Lolal Lola mill How lovely you are!” io the morning, Dona Ines shows Jack the ranch's ledgers. ft was face to face with failure. Later, Jack goes riding with Frank Baker. CHAPTER VI Out over the broad volley the two rodv stirrup to stirrup, end Douglas found himself, renumbering the winding arroyo, as be passed them, landmarks be had all but forgotten. Finally he asked. “How have things been with you. Frank?" Baker looked hesitatingly up, th<n os if overcoming some strong reluctance, he sold. “Everything's wrong here.

“But you can’t hide a hundred i horsemen in thi* country without somebody seeing them.” “I know you can't. Yet that's exactly what happened “Way not track them’” Baker laughed. “They only raid on nights of wind and storm, and their tracks lead out into the desert until every trace is blown away. I’ve suspected Cobre, but I been there often enough to know the only horses they have are a few broken- 1 down broom-tails for the mine work." With a sudden surge of feeling.

Douglas' arm swept out before him. "This land was my forefathers’ land, Frank. Now it is mine, and 1 pledge you thia- not so long as I live will 1 give up one square inch of Miracle Mesa If the miners or these raiders want war—let it be war. For not while t live will I tolerate violence done to these people who are my people Docs that answer your question?” Baker's eyes were shining. “It sure docs! And once the boy* know wheic you stand—” But Douglas held uo a warning hand. "Not yet,” he cautioned. "Nut until 1 am ready. Your greatest weakness, 1 rank, ma;’ be your lack of patience." The boy flushed. "That’s what Paxton says Just the same, it's going to lake something r»me than pat.cnee to cure our troubles. And down there may be something that's adding to our troubles.* fie pointed into a narrow canyon where a snuill adol>e dwelling stood against the base of the cliff. Douglas eyed it curiously. “That was not lhete in my day.” "It's the hold-out of the brother bood—their meeting-place. Nearly every peon in the country belong*— they're afraid not to belong It’s been a had thing for the valley. Every member gives his allegiance to the Brotherhood instead of to the man who pays him to herd hi" cattle or tend his ranch All the old loyalty and trust are gone I've learned a thing or two abuut that outfit—*' Baker stopped.

It was like turning back the year* to ride again among those old haunts he knew >o well, and throughout that morning Douglas covered miles of valley and desert, but by early afternoon he turned toward the pine-covered hill*, crossed the valley and began climbing the steep foothills trail. It had been years stare Douglas followed that narrow trad. The trees that flanked it were thicker and the old Forest Service blazes almost obliterated with time, but at length gaining the crest of the foothills, he halted his horse just out side an a~pen fence that stretched about a gray and white building A aign above the gate announced. “Ranger Station. Pueblo National Forest," and smoke spiraled ward from the chimney. Tying hy horse, Douglas crossed the porAi on tip «, then stepped to look io through the low window. A stockily built man in a khaki shirt was bending over a map in there, his blue eyes fixed in dogged concentration on the work before hint Hearing someone at the window, he looked up and exclaimed "Jack Douglas, by Gad I" Kicking back his chair, he rushed through the door, and in the next, minute ho was clasping the other's hand. “You nld lizard, you!" Face beaming, ho p..und«d Douglas on the shoulder, then in short, explosive sentences began hombarduur him with questions. “Whi n did yo i get here! Uhy didn’t you wire mr! i d have ridden over.
