Arrivâ€" ing in Arizona with her husband who has ailing lunge and their small child, they learn that the ranch is loâ€" cated 85 miles from the nearest railâ€" road. Oid Chaniey ‘Thane, rancher and rural mail carrier agrees to take them to the "Dead Lantern" gate, 5 miles from the ranch house. As they trudge wearlly through a gulch ap proaching the ranch house, a voice whispers "Go back! . . . Go back!" At the ranch house they are greeted suspiciously by the gaunt rancher partner, Snavely, and Indian Ann, a herculean woman of mixed negro and indian blood. Snavely is difficult to understand â€" but regardless, Ruth takes up the task of trying to adjust their three lives to the ranch and Its development.

She is not encouraged by Snavely in plans to try and stock the ranch or improve it. She writes to her father in the East asking a loan with which to buy cattle. She receives no reply. Will Thane comes home to vislt his father . . . and Ruth meets him. Now GO ON WITH THE STORY "How do you whe came up to car. The two m in quick surpri pleasure, "Are you Mrc.

"He thought you people might be inâ€" terested in doing something. So as I was taking Mr. Harvey, here, back to town, I just thought I‘d drop in and see you." Parker nodded.

Should the cattle comeâ€"on the ranch they will increase the value of the ranch and likewise the value of the partnership interâ€" ests. In‘ other words, Mre. Warren would be increasing Mr. Snavely‘s property for him, while Mr. Snavely, in refusing to offer his share as se curity, would be contributing nothâ€" ing to the welfare of the partnership. However," he turned to Parker as though he had seen enough of Snaveâ€" ly, "I think Mrs. Warren‘s note will be sufficient." "Seeme like you‘re talkin‘ a lot about yourself," hereplied tensely. "You talk like this was your ranch." The look on Snavely‘s face brought Ruth back to earth with a jerk. For a moment she thought he was going to leave her without speaking, but her relief was shortâ€"lived. "Do you know «omethin‘? I come by the deep tank in the south pasture on my way home this mornin‘ . Wel, it washed out last nightâ€"that‘s what it did. The water in that represa‘s gone to hell this minute. Them other challow ones won‘t last two weeks!" For a moment, his glinting eyes playved over her sardonically. With a short laugh he walked to his horke and, mounting, rode away. On the day after the cattle deal had taken place, Ann was not in the kitchen when Ruth arose. Neither was she in her room. Nothing in the kitchen appeared to have been touched since the evening before, nor was the fire lighted. She built the fire. Soon Snavely came to the door. Ruth smiled. "Certainly, I underâ€" stand. But you were there when Mr. Parker and I went over the situation â€"I know and you know the water is a little scanty, but if things don‘t go too badly I may even ‘be able to pay off the note next November. 1 hope I shall, but if not, he agreed to give me a year." â€" "Where‘s Aun ?" "I‘m sure I don‘t know; I thought perhaps ahe had to do something outâ€" side before breakfast and hadn‘t come in yet." "Did you look in her room?" "I didn‘t lookâ€"I opened the door and called." "Hub!" Snavely went to Ann‘s room and returned shortly, "Her bed win‘t been glept inâ€"she‘s gone ag‘in." "Why, what do you mean?" "‘Bount every two months or s0 Ann goes away for & epeliâ€"don‘t know where. Well, you can get me somethin‘ to eat, I reckon." ‘ An hour later the machine was dieâ€" appearing into gulch and Ruth Warâ€" ren had mortgaged her entire interâ€" ests in the Dead Lantern ranch. Snavely came up behind her. "What you jest done was ag‘in‘ my advice, Mr. Warren. Don‘t expect me to do nothin‘ if things don‘t turn out like you figger." . "I didn‘t mean it that way swered Ruth lightly. For five days Ruth was cook on the Dead Lantern, and of the fifteen meals, twelve of them consisted of Mexican beans and bolled sunâ€"dried beef. When it seemed certain that every By J. P. McEVOY and J. H. STRIEBEL Before the first of the bulls had ‘been released, Ruth Warren appeared among the surprised cowboys at the branding fire with a bucket of white paint she had found in the barn cow had found her calf, Snavely, with the Mexican cowboy«, rounded up the new bulls and drove them towards the home ranch corrals. Ruth and David followed behind. The girl was deathly afraid of those {wentyâ€"two monsters. A cow seemed more of a pleasant creatureâ€"at least, it loved its calf, and looked over the meadows with a rather satisfied, fri@ndly expression. But those great lumbering bullsâ€"a rolling avalanche Of unfriendly power, as they plodded forward, singing their individual batâ€" tle challenges deep in their throats. But the girl took a tremendous pride in them; it didn‘t s«eem possible that such a weak, insignicant thing as herself could own those huge aniâ€" male. Of course, Snavely owned a quarter of them, legally; nevertheâ€" lees, they were her bulls. And they were very valuableâ€"to lose one or two might mean the difference beâ€" tween meeting her note and not meeting it. After the bulls had been driven into the amallest of the interconnectâ€" ing corrals on the home ranch, they were forced, one at a time, to enter a narrow rutway which opened out into the pasture. Just before a bull Pgached the open end of this runway and just as he was congratulating himself on his escape, a bar shot across in front of his nose, another was placed immediately behind him and he was a prisoner. The walls of the runway were already pressng his eides and now three men took hold of a long lever with the result that one of the walls awung inward, holdâ€" ing the entire bull as though a great hand had closed npon him. A large animal can thus be doctored or branded with least danger to all concerned, particularly to himself. "Wait, before you let him loose," che called to the man by the nose bar. * "Can‘t you telll by looking at an animal whether you‘ve counted him before or not?" "What‘s _ the Snavely. "Well," said Ruth, "you seeâ€"how are we going to keep track of the bulls? 1 mean, suppose we do ride in the pasture and count them, they‘ll be so scattered that by the time we‘ve counted twentyâ€"two we can‘t be sure but what we‘ve counted the sAme one (wice, and that maybe one is gone." "Frankly, 1 can‘t. They all look alike to me." "What do you aim to do with that "I‘ll show you!" t Before Snavely could protest Ruth ran forward and drew a numeral one on the animal‘s side, two feet high. "See", ahe called triumphantly, paint? It didn‘t seem possible that such a weak, insignificant thing as herself could own those huge animals. "now all we have to do is to check their numbers on a plece of paper we can‘t go wrong." Snavely looked pityingly at Ruth, then turned away; the old cowman was . too â€" disgusted â€" to â€" speak. _ It seemed Incredible to him that any one could look at a bull and not reâ€" member him as one remembers the face of a man.
