CHAPTER X For a long time after Crooked Bill bad left bls office Don Prudencio Alvlso aat In hist swivel chair and stared hard at the opposite wall. He was thinking eq tin My hard Presently he took down the telephone and called the proprietor of the Mansion house and wVtb him held a conversation In Spaiilsh 1 hen he hung np and waited. Presently the telephone rang and Don Prudencio answered. “Gracias." He hung up and wrote on a scratch pad the initials W. B. L. Thereafter he continued to stare at the wall for an other hour. The following night he appeared a< the Ilnncho Valle Verde. Roberta was dressing for dinner, and Don Jaime was lying In file long chair on the gallery, with Ken Hobart beside him. ••Hello Prtidy what brings you out?" Don Jaltne hailed him. “I am mystified ’ Don Prudencio replied, and forthwith related In meticu loua detail his Impending sale of the Antrim sheet> to a fat-headed old gen tieman for a very great deal more than they were worth "He said his name was Blodgett, and signed the contract William I* Blodgett," the law yer continued “He did not say where he wns from, but I could see be knew nothing of sheep and was a city man. He did not bargain with me and he seemed to me to be quite too anxious to buy the sheep. So 1 telephoned to the Mansion house to Inquire if he was •topping there and when I described him they said they had a guest there from New York by that name, but that his baggage carried the initials W.B. I." “Hum m m!" fhm Jaime grunted and aat up very straight "He isn’t a very good liar, is he? What does W. B I*, of New York, want of the Antrim sheep, and why should he pay such a high price for them? This Is indeed very mysterious. Prudy. Did he deposit the ten thousand?" “He did. it was telegraphed from New York." 4 “I wonder what the old Idiot Is going to do with those sheep?" “I imagine he's going to get Bill Din- j gie to care for them." “Not on my range. Prudy. the mtnuie those sheep pass out of pomeaaton of the estate of Thomft Antrim, deceased, they’re going to get off the Higuenes range. If they linger there’ll ; be a tight or a foot race." “Do you suppose Miss Antrim will agree to sell the sheep, my friend?” v Don Prudencio querist •‘Sell them? Os course she’ll sell them. You are her executor and you recommend the sale. I am her friend and business adviser and I certainly recommend It, and as the probate Judge knows nothing of sheep and will be guided by such experts as you and me in making his decision, naturally he will sign an order of sale. Have a drink, after that long and Interesting re|>ort I" “Weeth de-llght," said Don I’rudenclo. , The following morning Don Jaime motored tn to Los Algodones, and Roberta accompanied him. As they swung down the main street past the Mansion house, with its row of chair-warm-ers on the front porch, Roberta started and laid a half-detaining hand on Don Jaime’s arm. “Jimmy, look! See that man sitting on the right of the line—the one In the blue overalls and canvas coat?" | “Yea." “He’s a replica of my Uncle Rill. If he had Uncle Rill's clothes on I’d get 1 ■' :• ■ k f ' ■.» without question. Good gracious, what a marked resemblance I Why he and Uncle Bill are as neur alike as twins.” - "So?" murmured Don Jaime and stepped on bls foot throttle. “Now that’s mighty Interesting.” He parted in front of the bank, ex- ’ cased himself to Roberta, entered and •ought the cashier. “Ed,” he said, “yesterday ten thou | •and dollars was wired here to the credit of the estate of Thomas Antrim as a first payment on account of the purchase, by one Blodgett, of the Antrim sheep. That young lady outside' tn my car Is Antrim’s heir. Miss Ro berta Antrim. I want to know what New York bank wired IL” “Certainly. I don’t think I violate any confidence The Twelfth Na tlonat” "Who ordered the transfer?” , “A man by the name of Glenn Hackett." » “Thanks,” said Don Jaime, and climbed back Into the car with Roberta. When they were half-way back to Valle Verde he said to her very casually, “Do. you know a man In New York by the name of Glenn Hackett F Roberta Jerked erect with surprise "Why. yes! He’s one of my dearest friends and my Uncle Bill’s attorney. Do you know Glenn, JimmyF ‘ “No—and I hope 1 never do I dis like him very much. He’s tn love with youF “That's none of your business, and besides, ts he were, Jimmy, you couldn’t expect me to discuss the subject with you. Who has been telling you about Glenn Hackettr •The fairlee.” Don Jaime replied enigmatically. And though Roberta press id him to tell her more and employed every feminine wile to break down hts resolve not to. he refused As they alighted at the the outrageowi man stlU further mystified her by saying: “And T don’t think w» much of ymtr obi t'u. ni» - •!.*<" |

I Tn Is statement wEen there was not * apparently any reason why Uncle Bill should ever be the subject of thought was the final feather that broke ths back of Roberta's curiosity. “Jimmy." she pleaded, “would yon care to save a human UfeF "Some humans. You. for Instance.” "Then tell me what has lowered my innocent Uncle Bill in your estimation.” “He’s crooked." “Oh. Jimmy, he Isn’t! His friends call him Crooked Bill because he’s—well, rather Joyously sly. cunning and prudent But dishonest—never F “He’s out to boost the stock of tht» Glenn Hackett person to you and to depress mine.” Roberta stnfled a small and knowing smile hut said nothing. “No. he doesn’t play fair." Don Jaltne protested “He says one thing and means something else so fust for that I'm going to take your Uncle RIH’S conceit down s couple of notches." “How do you know he doesn't play fair?" He laid finger on Up “Hush I It’s a secret." •’Evidently," Roberta replied bitter ly. after waiting about twenty seconds for him to Impart the secret “1 think I'll go back to Los Algo dones." he announced suddenly “There's something about the atmos phere of that town that aids my pow era of divination.” “Am I Invited to ride back with you? Or must 1 mope around the house un til you returnF ' “1 think you bad better mope. I have need to do some thinking—and you ditch my train of thought" He looked at her keenly earnestly, and without the slightest flicker of love light In his eye*. “Are you enjoying your visit at Valle Verde, Bobby? I’ve wondered If you didn't feel a bit lonely and neglected here." ••Oh, no, Jimmy!' You’re such a friendly, comfortable person when you are around the house. Will you return from lx's Algodones In time for dinner. Jimmy?” “I don’t know. I*l do my best to complete my business and be back tn time. I don’t relish driving around this country at night because Just at present, for me, at’least, the night has a number of eyes." ‘‘You mean—" "I mean that your foreman. Bill Dingle, has been across the Line, and something tells me he went there to hire some renegade to bump me off. I don’t particularly blame him for that. A man acts according to bls lights, and I gave Dingle and his men • pretty tough deal." “But you went tcf town today unarmed.
