M M A JM ,U " Tronble had crept behind Vance KetcbelL From a viewpoint high on the side of the Cache Mountains, Vance KetcheU watched the land below with the eyes of a man whose own fortune was pretty much in balance; and this was how he happened to see Parr Gentry come along the Freeport road, disappear Into the Potholes, and later emerge from them. At this elevation he had a complete sweep of the valley below, a sight of the south-running road halfway to Freeport, and a bird's-eye bird's-eye view of the small meadows th the Potholes. All movement in so wide and lonely lone-ly a stretch of country at once caught his glance, and though he did not immediately identify Parr Gentry he followed the man's erratic course. There were other riders abroad this morning, creeping slow ly in and out of sight on the various trails looping below. He noticed Hillhouse's party come around Dell Ink. and was Drettv Certain of their nuroose from the way they scouted the land as they moved. Catherine Grant and the man with her had reached the top of the Mo- eul rim. There was nothing much left to see, and no particular activi ty around Herendeen's. whereupon Vance Ketchell got on his horse. took the. upward trail Into timber and reached his own small ranch less than an hour later. The mo ment he came into his meadow he discovered visitors. Herendeen and Bones McGeen were dismounted by his door. McOeen said irritably: "Where the hell you been?' Trouble had crept behind Vance Ketchell. He saw H on the faces of both these men and heard It la the domineering voice of McGeen. Vance Ketchell had his shadowed moment of dismal certainty. Before another word had been spoken he knew he had lost his ranch. Riding before these two. he stepped from the saddle, a distinct chill threading his nerves. Morgan was up here last night wasn't he?" "Sure." answered Ketchell. "What of it?" "You're through around here. said Herendeen. Facing Herendeen, Vance Ketchell HHnl remembered that Bones McGeen was behind him and tor a moment he thought he Was a dead man; something In Herendeen's voice had been like a sharp signal to McGeen. , Vance Ketchell had meanwhile backed oft a good twenty feet and now ha saw them both before him i..ri They didn't have him flanked any more.

He set nis legs wiae anart in the dust. A crease ran across bis forehead and he stood with his chin lifted, staring at Herendeen Heren-deen as though something had gone wrong. He called to Herendeen: You want me to go ahead? Herendeen studied Vance Ketchell over the stretching moments: he had the Impulse in his mind KetcheU saw that pretty clearly. McGeen rasped out: "I never saw the time I was afraid to bust Into you, vance. . oay u wuiu, Hell, he's only got two arms. "Both good." said Ketchell point edly. Herendeen shook his head. "Shut up.

He settled hla boots In the dust ot the yard and spoke again, naming oft with biting precision the things he thought they were; It went like this, the list lengthening out until he could think of nothing else suitable. He lifted his right hand, knocking back the brim ot his hat Black hair leu across his forehead and sunlight glit tered on the auick film of sweat creeDina throuah his skin. He said as a parting shot "You're pretty tough on old men and women and babies. If I'm in hell when you boys come along, you can bet your last dollar I'll put the blackball on both of you." "Herendeen," said McGeen, In a begging voice, "Just ride along tor a minute." Herendeen took his tongue-lash ing with a smart unmoved coolness. cool-ness. He spoke to KetcheU. "Be out of here by dayUght," and turned his horse away, caUing up the reluc tant McGeen. "Come here, you damned fool."

To one-half cup crushed pineapple, add one cup crumbled macaroons, one-half teaspoon lemon juice, and a little confectioners sugar to taste. To add greatly to the conven ience of your knitting or sewing bag, paste a piece of measuring tape across one of the handles. Most such handles will take a 12- inch strip. An old hoe heated and straight ened out, will make an excellent tool for edging flower beds, loosening loosen-ing grain in bins, chopping ice from the walk, chopping pumpkins for the hogs and many other uses. When the wooden handle breaks off the monkey wrench, hammer a piece of pipe over the end tight ly. Let it be somewhat longer than the original handle for greater leverage.

"I don't get it at all" Hillhouse shrugged his shoulders.

Gurd Grant thought about bis own part In this affair with a grow ing unease. He bad joined Hillhouse much in the cheerful spirit a man goes out on a hunting party; now, for the first time on this trip, he began to understand what they were hun tine and what might come when they found Hack. It gave him a distinct chill when he reasoned it out this way. It put a different Ugbt on the affair. "Charley." he said. "I don't want any rough stuff." Charley rode In front ot him, not turning and not answering. Gurd Grant got the impression of a will In Hillhouse as hard as rock. More and more disturbed, he had his fer vent wish that he were out of th whole thing.
