And Stenhart dared to be in love with her! He had opened the books again ‘‘I’ll try to make good on these anyway” he thought and smiled for the first time as be began to run down Jim’s slovenly But he had hardly reached figures the foot of the column before he heard a quick step behind him and Jim himself came in dusty and fagged ‘‘Hello Hazlett Quit that stuff I’ve got something else on hand" As he spoke he flung himself into a chair and mopped his forehead ‘‘Got most of the strays bsck but I’ve lost about eighty yearlings besides those you made into beef" bfe added with a grin "Sorry” Sherwin began "but — " ‘‘No regrets!" Jim laughed “You can ride I know that The men are all busy and I want you to ride over to Hemmings’ place it’s about fifteen miles and get the sheriff Take him He’s over there now along with you and show him the place where Jordan ran past you — you know on the highroad We think he’s got some of his rustlers there he’s cleared out of this Anyway and I want Cutler — neighborhood that’s the sheriff— to know it You where Jordan know the locality Mac’ll give you a fast dodged horse Better go right away” Sherwin was staring fixedly at the books in front of him He said nothand after a moment Jim ing looked around at him "Well?" he said interrogatively “I don’t know the roads I’ll lose time finding the place— Hemmings’ Hadn’t you better send I mean some one who knows the way?" ‘T’ve got no one who knows where you saw Jordan Besides the road to Hemmings’ place is straight you can’t miss it All the men are busy and I'm used up You can make it before Cutler takes a false trail Here I’ll draw you a map—" Jim As he did so reached for a pencil he catight a glimpse of the other man’s face and whistled then he “See here Hazlett what’s laughed wrong — you’re not afraid to meet the sheriff are you?" he asked lightly He rose Sherwin’ s face whitened “I’ll go at once sir” he said gravethe house?” ly "where’s the on hand his desk Jim struck Here I say don’t take it like that I was Joking!” Sherwin met his eyes squarely Tt’s the kind of Joke I don’t like’ he replied coldly Something in the man’s eyes made Jim lean back in his chair and obBut he turned serve him closely the matter off as well as he could “Sorry!

What madness to think of the girl! Sherwin knew it but he was young He and her clear eyes held him heard still her voice when she told him to "make good!” And he was going— like a cravenl Suddenly he turned his horse’s head He would go back he’d go west and face— the devil if need be!
