Harris left her and circled t lie hunch, estimating It. When the last rider appeared with his bunch and threw It Into the herd Harris signaled all hands to change mounts. Half the men repaired to the rope corral and caught up cow horses while the balance of the crew held the herd, each one relieving some other as soon as be bad saddled a fresh horse. A sagebrush fire was burning fifty yards above the wagon and each man rode past it, leaned from his saddle and dropped his running Iron In the fin me. The men worked round the edge of the bunch and slipped a noose on every calf that was thrown to the edge of the constantly slilfilng mass. Morrow the first calf and roped dragged It to he lire. As much as she loved the round up, many limes as she had seen It, Billie Warren had never become calloused to t lie brutalities perpetrated on the 'nlves. She withdrew and sat In the She was downshade of the wagon wind and the dust raised by the trampling hoofs floated down to her. mingled with the odor of steaming cows, the acrid smoke of the sage lire and the taint of scorched hair and Dash. In a short space of time the herd had been worked, the last calf brand ed, and Harris led the men up the bottoms. Five miles up the valley, at the spot where he had crossed It a few hours before, they found the wagon waiting ut tile new stand, the corral refashioned and the renmda in side It. It was but ten oclock but tiie first circle had commenced at four. The noon meal on the round up was served whenever the first circle was completed. The men fell ravenously on the hot meal, changed to fiesii circle horses and started again It was falling dusk when die herd gathered in the third circle had been worked und t he last calf brunded foi lie day. At tl:e end of the first week out from the ranch Harris pulled up liis horse beside die girls and showed her his tally book. "We've run Slades mark on more calves than we have our own." he said. Thats one way lie works. But thats not his fault arid It doesnt mean anything," she said His cows are sure to drift This first strip we've worked is the south erumost edge of our range and Ids north wagon works the strip rigid south of us. We're sure to find a number of ids cows. As we double back on our next lap we'll not find the same proportion " Not quite but plenty, he pre dieted. "Weve marked more calves for Slade in one week than all his three wagon crews will mark for the Three Bar in a year. The first three weeks of each season your men do a little more work for Slade than they do for you.

For per haps five minutes Harris lolled side-wisin the saddle and watched them. Then a rider appeared on the ridge that divided that draw from the next, dropped in below the cows and head ed them back over Hit ridge into the draw from which he had appeared. Even at that distance she recognized rids last man as Lanky Evans. Harris resumed his way down the divide and she knew that he had discovered some irregularity for which he had e been seeking. Who was the man that overlooked those cows? she asked. "Who worked that draw? he said. His eyesight Is getting bad. Thats the second time tills week and the last.
