ical western ranchman.
CHAPTER III—Continued.

"Will, wal, Al, tills ’s the proudest
mootin’ of my life,” replied Stillwell,
In a booming voice. He extended n
Inigo hand. "Miss—Miss Majesty,
sight of you Is as welcome us the rain
an’ the flowers to an old desert cattle-
man.”
Madeline greeted him, and It was all
she could do to repress a cry ut the
way he crunched her hand In n grasp
of Iron. He was old, white-haired,
weather-beaten, with long furrows
down Ids cheeks and with gray eyes
al most hidden In wrinkles. If lie was
mulling she funded It u most extraor-
dinary smile. The next Instant she
realized that It had been a smile, for
Ids face appeared to stop rippling, the
light died, and suddenly It was like
rudely chiseled stone. The quality of
hurdness she had seen In Stewart was
Immeasurably Intensified lu this old
man's face.
"Miss Majesty, It’s plumb humiliatin’
to all of us thet we wasn't on band to
meet you,” Stillwell said. "I'm sure
afraid It was n bit unpleasant for you
last night at the station. Wal, I’m
some glad to tell you thet there’s
man in these parts except your brother
thet I’d as lief hev met you us Gene
Stewart.”
"Indeed?"
‘ leu, an' that's takln' Into considera-
tion Gene’s weakness, too. I’m nllus
fond of sayln* of myself thet I’m the
last of the old cattlemen. Wal. Stew-
art’s not a native westerner, but he’s
my pick of the last of the cowboys.
Sure, he’s young, but he’s the last of
the old style—the picturesque—an’
chivalrous, too, I make bold to say,
Miss Majesty, as well as the old hard-
ridln’ kind. Folks aro down ou Stew-
■>'
hall, where he bed been fetched from
the station.
"The hall was full of cowboys, ranch-
ers, Greasers, miners, an’ town folks,
along with some strangers. I wus
about to get stnrted up this way when
Pot Ha we come In.
"Pat, he’s the sheriff. He come Into
the hall, an’ he was roarin’ about
things. He was goln’ to arrest Danny
Mains on sight. Wal, I Jest pollte-llke
told Put thet the money wns mine on’
he needn’t get riled about It. An’
If I wanted to trail the thief I reckon
1 could do It ns well as anybody.
"Then he cooled down a bit an’ wns
askin’ questions about the wounded
Greaser when Gene Stewart comes In.
Whenever Pat an’ Gene come together
It reminds me of the early days back
In the ’seventies. Jest naturally ev-
erybody shut up. Fer Pat hates Gene,
an’ I reckon Gene ain’t very sweet on
Pat.
"’Hello Stewart I You’re the feller
I’m lookin’ fer,’ said Pat. ‘There was
some queer goings-on last night thet
you know somethin’ about. Danny
Mains robbed—Stillwell's money gone
—your rouu horse gone—an’ this
Greaser gone, too. Now, seeln’ thet
you was up into nn’ prowlin' round
the statlou where this Greaser wns
found, It ain't unreasonable to think
you might know how he got plugged
—Is It?’
"Stewart laughed kind of cold, an’
ho rolled a cigarette, all the time eyeln’
Put, an’ then he suld If he’d plugged
the Greaser It'd never hev been sicb a
bunglin' Job.
“ 1 can arrest you on suspicion,
Stewart, but before I go thet far I
want some evidence. I want to find
out what’s become of your boss. You’ve
never lent him since you bed him. nn‘
there ain’t enough rulders across the
border to steal him from you. It’s got
a queer look—thet boss bein’ gone.
You was drunk lust night?’
. "Stewart never batted un eye.
” ‘You met some woman on Number
Eight, didn’t you?’ shouted I la we.
” ’I met a lady,’ replied Stewart,
quiet an’ menucln’ like.
"’You met Al Hammond's sister, an'
you took her up to Kingsley’s. An’
cinch this, my cowboy cavalier, I’m
goln’ up there nn’ ask this grund^dame
some questions, an’ If she’s us close-
mouthed as you are I’ll arrest her I’
“Gene Stewart turned white. I fer
one expected to see him Jump like
Ughtnin,' as he does when he’s riled
sudden. Rut he was calm an’ he was
thlnkin' hard. Presently he said:
” ‘Pat, thet's a fool idee, an’ If you
do the trick It'll hurt you all the rest
of your life. There's absolutely no rea-
son to frighten Miss Hammond. An'
tryln’ to arrest her would be such a
d—d outruge as won't be stood fer In
El Cajon. If you’re sore on uie send
me to Jail. I’ll go. if you wunt to
hurt Al Hammond, go un’ do it some
man kind of way. Don’t take your
spite out on us by Insultin’ a lady who
has come hyar to hev a little visit.
We’re bad enough without bein’ low-
down as Greasers.'
“It was a long talk for Gene, an’ I
was us surprised as the rest of the fel-
lers. It was plain to me an’ others
who spoke of It afterward thet Pat
Huwe hed forgotten the law an’ the
officer In the man un’ his hate.
“Tin a-gotn’. an’ I’m u-goin’ right
now!’ he shouted.
“Stewart seemed kind of chokin’,
an’ he seemed to hev been bewildered
by the idee of Hawe's confrontin’ you.
“An’ finally he burst out: ‘But,
man. think who It Is! It’s Miss Ham-
mond! If you seen her, even If you
was locoed or drunk, you—you couldn't
do It.’
‘'‘Couldn’t I? Wnl. I’ll

“We’re rushing you off. I’m sorrv to

ranch. The fall round-up begins to-
morrow. You will ride In the buck-
bourd with Florence and Stillwell. I'll

up « little for you at the ranch. It's

"Nels. I hevn’t seen nothin’,” he re-
plied, bluntly.
“Jest take n squint at these hoss
tracks,” said Nels, and he drew Still-
well a few paces aside and pointed to
large hoofprlnts In the dust. “I reckon
you know the hoss thet made them?”
“Gene Stewart's roan, or I’tn n son-
of-a-gnn!” exclaimed Stillwell, and h$-
dropped heavily to his knees and began
to scrutinize the tracks. Nels, who-
ever was straddlin’ Stewart’s hoss met

"Tolerable good for you. Rill, thet

With a knock on the door and a
cheerful greeting, Florence entered,
carrying steaming hot water.
“Good mawnln’, Miss Hurnmond.

tired last night. I Imagine you'll find
this old ranch-house as cold as a ham.

SWAMP-ROOT FOR
KIDNEY AILMENTS
Getting On.
Ex-Oovemor McCall was talking tn
Boston about success.
“Success In business,” he said, “in
politics. In the arts, In everything,
means self-confidence. It means abso-’
lute belief In yourself despite the re-
buffs and Insults that are always the
lot of the beginner.
“A young fellow with success
stamped nil over him said to another
young fellow:
" '0n tlie moonlit pier Inst night I
kissed the beautiful Miss Bullion.’
“ 'How did she take It?'
“ ‘She screamed for help.'
“ ‘What did you do?’
