Hie Aunt Inte gnd fiancee, Lota, rejoice at his homecoming, feeling that they now have a master to look after them. Don* Ines said if it were not for Ed Paston, the ranch foreman, she would not have known where to turn. All about is a feeling of restlessness and distrust His first day home. Jack goes riding with his vaquero and friend. Frank Baker The latter say* the miner* in Cobre jump thr water rights of the ranchers and that th* cattlemen are doing nothing about it. "What we need is a he-man boss We need you!" he tells Jack.

"Sit down and let me look at you " Hi* blue eyes passed speeu latively over th* man "You're changed. Jack." he said at last. “Six year* do bring change*. Fam. Even my own tongue sound* strange to me.” The ranger laughed. “That rich Castillian accent must give your Aunt Ineo a kiek — she's alway. resented your deplorable Gringo way*" For a moment he turned ’oward the window, and when again he faced Douglas, he was frowning "I'm mighty glad to see you. Jaek, but I oughtn't to be." his deep voice rumbled. "I might have known tlv ‘>ne way to make you come back here was to toll you not to. There’* nothing here for you- only danger." The tall man *miled. "Khat •hould I do—erawl under the bed?” Rut there was no answering smile <m the ranger's face. "I tried tn warn you." “You did. In your laat letter you told me throe times to keep away from here." . ’ So you took thr first boat K. k You might have used better judg Bent, Jack." "What did you etpeet me to do? ft was time 1 came Other ranch owners are living here Why is the danger greater for me?” ’’lll tell you why. It’s becauae you are one of three rancher* the raider* have named for death.” “And the other two?” "Rrad-hsw left the country— Wilson's dead. Now do you see why I begged you not to come bark ?
