It was voted not to include him. "Jeff Brand." "A bad man from Texas," explained ex-plained Tod Collins of the Antelope Creek Ranch. "One of the worst of the Hart gang." Others corroborated this. Brand went on the death list. "Roan Alford." "No" Terry spoke with sharp decision. de-cision. "He's a rancher, not a rustler. rus-tler. I've known him all my life." A score or more of names were read and discussed. Some were put on the black list and others pardoned par-doned because- of insufficient evidence evi-dence or extenuating circumstances. "Lee Hart" "We all know where he belongs," a redheaded cowman replied. "Put him on the list to be hanged and pass on to the next" No voice was raised in his behalf. The next name was read. "Sheriff Nate Hart." Terry broke the long silence that followed. "It's known that the Harts are enemies of mine. I don't get along with Nate any better than I do with the rest of them. But that doesn't make him a rustler. Folks in the Buck River country do not consider him one." , A dark brown man sitting on the bed in his shirtsleeves let the match with which he had intended to light a cigar die out. "Not a rustler himself, him-self, but a politician who uses cow thieves for his advantage. He's worse, than they are. I say, rub him out." McFaddin ripped out an oath. "He and two of the county commission- "Let's give the rustlers a little more rope to hang themselves with." ers are the leaders of the whole mess of thieves." The cool gaze of Terry swept the room slowly. "Gentlemen, you are proposing to take in too much territory. terri-tory. Maybe we can round up most of the known thieves and get away with hanging them. I think we will be lucky if we do. But we can't kill the duly elected sheriff and commissioners com-missioners of a county and expect not to pay too high a price for it. Right then we would lose the support sup-port of the public all over the country." Doctor Porter gave his support to Terry. "His name goes off," Ellison answered. an-swered. The roll call went on. Ellison read the next name a little lit-tle reluctantly. It had been handed, in by one of the stockmen present Jack Turley, the name was. The No, By Joe superintendent ran a pencil through it "Known not to be a rustler," he said. "Who knows it?" Terry asked. "He spends most of his time with Lee Hart and Jeff Brand. If he isn't a rustler, why does he run with thieves?" Ellison hesitated. "I can give him a clean bill of health," he said at last. "How can you do that?" "All right" Ellison threw up a hand in surrender. "He's a detective detec-tive for the association! We sent him into the Buck River country two years ago to get information about the thieves' activities." The meeting broke up late. Before Be-fore anybody had left the room the man on watch outside came in with a telegram jus arrived for Doctor Porter. "Just a moment, if you please," he said. "I have a message with important news sent me by my secretary." sec-retary." The hum of conversation died down. "Jackman wires me that yesterday yester-day a meeting of small cattlemen, including rustlers, no doubt was held at Round Top to form an independent inde-pendent ranchers' and stock-grow- speak against Calhoun, The sheriff has a talk with him.

They voted to hold their roundup about the middle of May, three weeks before the legal one set by us. j Other branches of this association i.re to do the same." Every man piesent knew what this meant. By means of these roundups the enemies of the big ranches would collect and brand the mavericks before the wagons and men of the large outfits could get into action. All calves not following follow-ing their mothers closely would be assigned to the small cowmen and to the rustlers who had started herds of their own. Doctor Porter waved his telegram for a cessation of talk. "There's another piece of news in my wire, gentlemen. Jackman says that early this morning the body of Pete Tolman was found in front of his cabin. He had been shot through the forehead by a bullet from a rifle." CHAPTER XI At the Sleepy Cat Ranch dance very little was talked of except the murder of Pete Tolman and its relation re-lation to the other two killings which had preceded it. The victims had all been active and flagrant rustlers. Real fear, though generally concealed, con-cealed, was plainly in evidence at the dance. Ellen read it in the nervousness nerv-ousness of those she met in the lowered voices and furtive whisperings. whisper-ings. Jeff Brand asked Ellen for a dance. She rose at once and took her place with him in the quadrille. Lane Carey had brought her to the dance. Her eyes danced with mocking laughter. "You promised to help entertain my beau, and I haven't seen you say a word to him yet" He laughed. Whoever else might be worried, Jeff Brand was not "You chose the wrong beau; honey." hon-ey." He was a graceful scamp, and he danced as no other man in the room did. Her gaze held to his, interested and a little puzzled. "Everybody else is worried and unhappy about what happened today. You seem to be on the top of the world. Wasn't Pete Tolman a friend of yours?" T "We rode a lot of trails together," he said. "Well?" "1 ought to be pulling a long face, you think. My idea is different Pete did a lot of living in his twenty-four twenty-four years. Maybe he wandered off the reservation considerable. He made his own laws, and he had a lot of fun doing it. I've heard him say he didn't want to live to be an old man with creaky joints, that he'd rather go out high, wide, and handsome. I'm gonna miss him. But when I think of him it will be as I saw him last, waving a hand at me as he went over the top of a hill at a gallop." Ellen said, "I understand now." She added gently, "Pete would not want you to act solemn." She still was not quite satisfied to drop the subject "You know what is worrying everybody." "Say it plain." His face creased to a smile. "They figure I'll be next." . "Why don't you leave this part of the country start tonight for Montana?" she asked impulsively. His cool eyes rested on her. "Why, I like this country, and my girl lives here," he drawled. They had strolled to one of the benches placed along the side of the room. "I didn't know you had a girL" she mentioned, her voice light "Oh, yes. She doesn't know it yet I think she's just beginning to find it out." "How interesting for her! She'll be dreadfully unhappy until she is sure of you." "I wish I was certain of that" he drawled. "Let me know when I'm to congratulate con-gratulate you, Mr. Brand." "Yes," he promised. "You'll know." The audacity of her next question surprised and delighted him. "You are a rustler, I suppose?" "My goodness, you go right to the point Nobody ever asked me that before. You're supposed to say that with a smile or with a gun in yore hand." "I'll withdraw the question, since it's none of my business. But I should think that girl you were telling tell-ing me about would want to be very sure you weren't" "Maybe she would rather have a man who just plowed and dug," he said scornfully. "She might There is another name for rustling." "I've heard it The big cattlemen like to use it when they speak of their small neighbors, but I don't expect they like the word applied when they fence land that doesn't belong to them or homestead public domain by using their own riders as dummy entrymen." The reckless gaiety had been washed from his face and left it grim and bitter. (TO BE COTlVlD) (BeU Syndicate 0 OD D IT 1 ' There't one girl and one man By KATHLEEN NORRIS PAMELA wants to be popular. pop-ular. She works downtown down-town in a lawyer's office; she maintains a bachelor-girl bachelor-girl establishment with another an-other girl; she is 26, pretty enough, smart above the average, but not popular. "My manner isn't shy, because i take good care it shan't be," writes Pamela. "But ' way deep down in I'm shy. I know men like my looks, but a lot of them are shy, too, I guess except the married ones. The only attention I've ever had is from married men, and that doesn't mean much. The younger men in our office, and I could fall in love with at least three of them, will stop at my desk to dictate a letter, let-ter, ask me if I've seen this picture or that, recommend a good murder story if they see a book on my desk, and then pause by some other girl's desk ' for three or four words that drive me perfectly mad with ' bewildermentand be-wildermentand I suppose jealousy.

"Why don't they do that to me? But of course I know why. I know I'm stiff, awkward, stupid with men. I clear my throat and get red and say things I don't mean to them.

Clean, neat dowdy, correct When I ought to shut up I giggle and chatter chat-ter and when I ought to break a silence si-lence I can do nothing but swallow and stammer. But girls like me, and I know I amuse them, and as I say married men always seem to understand me and I can talk to them. "Now, what I can't understand," the letter goes on, "is the sort of girl who attracts men and always has lots of attention.

PROBLEMS OF A STENO Both single and married men pay her attentions during working hours, Pamela is puzzled by reactions of men in the office where she works. She writes Miss Norris to ask if she says the right things to become popular pop-ular with certain men. And she wonders won-ders why girls less attractive than herself, receive more attention from the most desirable men. Kathleen Norris answers Pamela with her usual helpful advice and clarity of thought for any social problem. impression you are making on them, and too little of the innate qualities that your manner represents. Charm is an elusive thing to describe, because be-cause it means very real qualities, it means heart soul, mind, char acter, training, self-discipline. With enough of .these things any .woman is equipped to face life and its changes confidently; she KNOWS she will find friends, win the man she wants, make a success of her. self. . Cultivate Charm. But in your case I wouldn't worry about these casual and temporary conquests. Ignore them for the time being, and devote yourself to the cultivation of charm. Get interested, interest-ed, genuinely, in life, and life will get interested in you. Charm means personal freshness, pleasantness of manner, alert understanding un-derstanding and sympathy for everyone about you. It means that when you are sitting at your desk, idle for a moment between tasks, you are half-smiling; it means that you keep up with your reading on current topics and keep away from tactless controversy and loud-voiced expression of opinion. If you happen hap-pen to be made of crusader stuff that is of course something else again; crusaders rarely have charm. To attract the man you like to you make no visible effort But whenever when-ever you get a chance to speak to him have something to say that will immediately draw Ms attention from the fact that he and that rather rath-er standoffish Miss Brown are actually actu-ally talking together. Years ago a certain shy little member of my family used to start off to dances after asking me seriously: "Tell me three things to say to my boy." Think of three things to say to yours. If it is only, "Weren't you caught in that downpour yesterday?" or, "Is this new time schedule going to mean you have to take an earlier train from Pelham?" or "Did you hear the nice news of the Smith baby?" it will answer the purpose. And if, after a monosyllabic reply you have to begin again, plunge in courageously. "My sister and I were in Brooklyn when that storm started, my mother lives over there. You know, in the Library neighborhood. neighbor-hood. We live in town, but Mother expects us every Saturday" and so on, easily and carelessly, just as if you were talking to a woman, until un-til he picks up the conversation again. Act Friendly Unembarrassed. If the shy woman, who feels stiff and tongue-tied with men, could only remember that talking to a newly met man is just like talking to a new woman acquaintance, her whole manner and attitude would change. Girls like Pamela never dread meeting meet-ing other women; they know that their approach will be friendly and unembarrassed. Try that same friendly lack of embarrassment upon the man you want to attract Pamela; try it on all men. And at the same time deepen your own character into kindness, interest understanding un-derstanding of those about you, and by the infallible magic of charm you will not only get your man, but everything else you want in the world.
