"All of them! -And most especially a rathlcshake n'amed Pete Haskell who is the ringleader of the whole killing beef men outfit 1" «' » * "And you, amigo?" Juanita said softly, "YoTi think you fight long, alone? Ob. no, they make you a candle. Puff! You are finished." "I don't know who you are strang- er," the young farmer said, "but I'll say this much and no more. I say I'll kill every last one of them before I'm through 1" "There is much law in this coun- try, amigo," Juanita said. "In the town of Cold Creek Sheriff Lands is said to.... I'nt I see that there is no restraint to hold you. Good luck." The young Spanish stranger held out a friendly hand of sympa- thy and understanding. "Adios. Who knows but that you shall not fight alone, after all? For it said by my people that El Cahallero Rojo has heard of the plight that has fallen over this valley, and that he itt sntnewlrere around." â-  The tattered, youtbfiil . stranger turned s 'ijtly mounted the horse that stood near with reins dragging and faded away injo the night. Burr .\ldiiian stared until the stranger was a speck in tlVe distant gloom â€" aiul then gone from sight. But the'stfaiif^er's words were Still ' poignantlv present with him. He, loo, knew of the legeiul of £1 Cahal- lero Rojo, the friend of the poor, the rigbter cd w-rongs. So llvit iiiaii of mystery was here!

'Paking only long enough to re move his f.Tther to the house. Burr Aldman saddled his horse, mounted, and set off to bring home his brother and care for him. That done, during wdiat seemed like an eternity of grief, the sole remaining member of the Aldman family again mounted ami headed for the Bartle ranch, Bartle, kiunvn as the most pros perous tobaco farmer and landowner in Deep Water Valley, had just fin- ished scribbling an entry in the hooks open before him when knuckles rapped on the door. He went to the dc or, pulled the lever that drew back the sprinj. lock and peered into the darkness. As he recognized his visitor a smile spread over his thin face. His palms rubbed together with plea- sure and satisfaction. Howdy, Burrl" he greeted hearti ly. "Glad to sec you. Come right in." The last of the Aldinans walked into the gloomy office as if his feet w.crc lc^,<lifti weights., A broken man add bitter, he dropped heavily into the nearest chair. "They gc't us, Mr. Bartlel" he said abrujitly. '"1,'hey burned our .drying ihcd;.tliey Ibiirned our crops and all.
