J Until factions were Justifying them- selves in long letters to the newspapers. The territorial government favored Steelman because of his business connections, nnd Sheriff Hanks had been removed from office on a technicality connected wiili his bond. Humors of the feud had even renrhed Washington and there was tnlk of nntlonnl Inlpr. tl frrence. ;i Infrrnni'8 warriors had "Jumped" two of Steelman's cowboys while they were branding a caJf claimed by the Diamond Tall. There bad been a tight and the two Hashknlfe riders had been left dead beside their fire. In reprisal the Hashknlfe forces had captured Houek, a notorious gunman from the Indian territory employed by Ingrain, and had left j bis body In a draw. 1 Smith Iteresford suggested I promise to Steelman.

There was always a j chance that the fact they had them In plain sight might save them from attack. To Ingram and Harvey, sitting In the ofiice of the store, came one of their clerks, a young fellow who had recently moved o the territory for lung trouble. Ills name was Millikan, "They're aJone," he reported. "Just rode up to the Concho house and have gone Inside. They e minutes at stopped for the Longhorn corral before they went to the hotel." "Steelman not with them, then?" "No, sir." "Drift out Into the street an' make sure none of their men Join 'em." After the clerk had gone Ingram turned to his partner. "We'll let 'em wait a while, Tom. Don't want 'em to get the notion we're anxious for a compromise." Harvey agreed, but added a rider: "Just the same I reckon we better meet 'em halfway. If this war goes on much longer we'll be busted higher than a kite, you an' l see reason. Kli, what?" Steelman reflected that It could do no barm. Moreover, It would bo a good talking point Inter to be able to say that he and his partners had tried to arrange a compromise. Also, there was urgent need of peace financially If It could be brought about. "Suits me, Lyulph,' he said. "Question Is about a compromise. What can we offer him?" "What had you thought of offer ing?" Steelman asked, a flicker of lie had i cynical humor In his eyes. not faith In the success of this I mission. "He'll think you've come to tell him we've had enough an' want to quit. Hut have It yore own way, boys, do tnlk with him. Make yore proposition an" see what It Sets you." The three men talked terms while Barbara listened. One thing Steelman insisted upon. There could be no settlement of the trouble until Ingram moved his men bag and baggage from the Hughes place. If he would do Hint It would be evidence that he renUy wanted peace. The three men drafted a letter and sent It to Ingram by one of the Ilnsbkiilfe riders. Word of what was In the air spread nnd lion Quantrell suggested to O'tlaro that he would be glad to go to town with him to meet Ingram. "Much obliged. Bn. but 1 don't think that would be wise."

He would keep his cattle east of the pass. He would leave the San Jacinto market to Ingram and his friends If they would not compete with him at the Indian agency. He would discharge any of his men against whom there was proof of rustling cattle. As to the lawlessness of the past few months, he was wUling to let bygones be bygones. Harvey laughed unpleasantly. "He's sure promlsln' a lot. Has our friends shot up by hired killers an' then Is willln' to call It off.

It was a bad year for cattle from the market point of view. He had been forced to carry his allies, the small ranchers In the hills. Moreover, to meet Steelman's encronchments he had borrowed notes heavily and his short-tim- e were falling due. He could borrow no more. The owner of the Hash-knif- e had had business with most of the bankers In the territory and they were friendly to hlra rather than to his enemies in this feud. Add to all this the fact that there was talk of Intervention from Washington. If soldiers came In from the fort there was little doubt that they would support Steelman, for he and Colonel Randolph had fought side by side In the Civil war. In the field Ingram could hold his own. He was not disturbed about that, providing always that the United States troops did not come In. But he had read of generals who won every battle and lost the war. The thought of compromise was bitter to him, but he knew that if Steelman made a reasonable offer he must accept It let he was reluctant to admit even the possibility of defeat.

Whatever else might be said of ntm, Wesley Steelman had the courage of his decisions. He would not leave his men to undertake what he would not attempt himself.
