I wonder if he would be content." "He'll have to settle down sometime, some-time, won't he?" Calhoun said. "I don't know. He's so wild." She went on, almost as If she were talking to herself: "It would be terrible ter-rible for a girl to be married to him. With a husband as reckless and unstable as he Is, no woman would be able to keep step. He would bring her great and lasting unhappiness, though very likely she would keep loving him till the end." Calhoun pulled up in his stride. "I thought you were going to marry him." "Did you think I would marry a rustler?" she reproved gently. , "Do you mean that you're not In love with him?" he asked, looking directly at her. She laughed, a little tremulously. "Where did you get that ridiculous notion?" He stared at her, a heat beating through his body. "Then you're not In love with him ... or with any other man?" She said in a low voice, We aren't talking about any other man, are we?" Some hint of her deep emotion reached him. A swift hope blazed up in him. He had thought never to tell her what was in his heart, but now he flung away restraint. He said, "I couldn't be the man." But his voice asked for a denial. When she did not reply, he pressed home his question. Ellen looked up, her face a soft and shining answer. Riding through the night to send the message to the Governor, Calhoun Cal-houn was filled with a sense of the nearness of the girl whose warm body he had held in his arms. The lift of the hour was still on him. With the extravagance of a lover, he was sure that no man since Adam had ever had a sweetheart comparable compara-ble to his. He loved everything about her the parted lips and shining shin-ing eyes, the flowing grace of movement, move-ment, the turn of the lovely head. His ecstasy amazed him. He had counted himself a hard man, cynical, cyni-cal, not given to sentiment. Yet a girl with a wind-blown skirt had crossed his path and changed the world fdF him. He thought,' with a smile, of the verse of the hymn he bad once quoted to her: Though every prospect pleases. And only man is vile. He was ready to revise his opinion opin-ion about that too. Jeff Brnd Dave Morgan Sheriff Hart Tough, hard men all of them, but with a light shining in their hearts that separated them a million miles from vileness. CHAPTER XXXIX That the soldiers reached Wagon-wheel Wagon-wheel Gap Ranch just in time to save the invaders is written in the history of Cattleland. Ellison and his men surrendered to the commanding com-manding officer of the troops stationed sta-tioned at Fort Garfield. To Sheriff Hart and to the best of the attacking settlers the sound of the bugle sent out by the approaching troops had been almost as welcome as to the beleaguered party. Collins strutted out of the ranch house undaunted by the yells and A rescue party takes Jeff to town for medical treatment, and Terry and Lar-ry Lar-ry are arretted by the sheriff for safekeeping. safe-keeping.

He stood on the porch and waited for a chance to speak, and when the angry shouts died down flung back defiance at the enemy. "To call me a murderer doesn't make me one," he said, no more disturbed than if he had been sitting sit-ting with cronies at the Cheyenne Club. "We're honest men fighting for our rights. Some of us have been here since the Indian days. Every cattleman among us has helped build up this territory and has been a good citizen. I can call out the names of a dozen thieves I see among you. scoundrels who came here without a cent and have obtained ob-tained herds at our expense, every hoof of them stolen from some of us." He waited till the roar of rage had spent itself, then went on hardily. "I'd do just what I have done again. The time has come when either honest men or the thieves have to get out, and by God! I stand for hanging every rustler I can find until the law will punish them by putting them behind bars. We are not fighting small settlers but thieves. If I have to go to prison for what I have done, Til still say I did right in trying to rid this country of outlaws." Neither Collins nor any of the other oth-er invaders went to the penitentiary. peniten-tiary. Their trials were postponed for many months. Witnesses vanished. van-ished. The intensity of the feeling against the cattlemen declined. Moreover, the cost of the trials was so great that there was likelihood of county bankruptcy. In the end the indictments were dismissed. But it was plain that the big ranches were doomed. One after another they followed the example of the Diamond Reverse B and went out of business. With the increase in the number of small cattlemen the chances for undetected rustling grew fewer. Most of the thieves were known, and one by one they flitted to Montana or Idaho or Mexico. Mex-ico. Jeff Brand joined a cattle outfit in the Argentine. At long intervals his friends heard of him. He came back to the States to enlist for the Spanish-American War. A bullet took him in the throat as he was going up San Juan HilL In the reorganization of the cattle country after the break-up of the big ranches Calhoun Terry took an important part. He was recognized as a strong man, and as the years passed his influence became more than local There came a time when he had to go to Washington to represent repre-sent his people. He was never quite happy there, for he was no politician, politi-cian, and he was glad when his term of office expired. So was Ellen. El-len. It seemed to her that a city was no place to bring up a large family of boys and girls, and she gave a deep sigh of relief when they were all home again in the West she loved. Her father was an old man by that time, and she knew it made him happier to be near them. In private, sometimes, her husband hus-band tells Ellen that she is still lovelier than the slim, dark-eyed daughters who trouble the hearts of the young men of the neighborhood. She smiles wisely, and is content. For she knows that both Calhoun and she have had a happy life in spite of the occasional storms that have beat up to trouble them. THE END In the vast expanse of the South Pacific Karen Waterson felt as out of place as snow on a 6traw hat. But John Colt, her lawyer, had convinced her she was heiress heir-ess to the island of Alakoa, and he was determined -to get it for her. Incidentally, John was in love with Karen. The struggle to wrest the fertile little isle from Richard Wayne and his half brothers makes interesting reading. es-pecially es-pecially so after Wayne falls in love with the young lady.

PRICE OF INDEPENDENCE F or many years women have struggled for freedom from stuffy conventions, for equal' ity with men, for the right to plan their own lives. Today they study medicine. They run for political office. They fight side by side with men on the battlefields of the world. Then why should they be tied down by what looks like old fashioned standards of morality? moral-ity? Lots of women, some of them claim, have "gotten away with" illicit love affairs. Young girls risk their future happiness happi-ness in a moment's carelessness. careless-ness. They really mean to be good, but they just can't resist' re-sist' temptation. ? Read 'what Kathleen Norris has to say about the price women pay for the wrong' kind of independence. We love the same things, and we talked of marriage and felt that ours was a serious affair. Ours was a deep devotion and for weeks our secret love kept us in a heaven of happiness. By KATHLEEN NORRIS THIS is still a man's world. Women have made mighty strides in the last hundred years, to establish es-tablish certain rights for themselves and to do away with certain hoary old injustices. injus-tices. But you can't change matters as deep-rooted as masculine privilege and superiority su-periority in any one lifetime, and women still have a long way to go. One reason why the males can assume the quietly-assured position of lordship is because many a woman isn't happy until she has convinced some man that he is little short of a god, and that she is a complete fool. About once a week I get a letter from some woman who is worried because she fears Harry is looking at some other woman, usually an office associate. She neglects home and children, grows critical and tearful, listens in at the telephone, drops in at the office, reads letters, becomes nervousin nerv-ousin short, she does everything she can to show Harry that she has no individuality, no character, no reserves within herself; that she is just one more clinging vine, hanging hang-ing on to the flawless male for. comfort, com-fort, love, life, everything. Sweet Alice who wept with delight when Ben Bolt gave her a smile, and trembled with fear at his frown, did not disappear with the Victorian era. A More Pitiful Girl. Even more pitiful than this mar ried slave, who canot build a life of her own, is the sort of girl who writes me that because a boy told her he would stop loving her if she didn't do what he asked; and because be-cause she loved him so terribly, she has wrecked her self-respect for life. Believe me, , although girls are much more independent than they used to be, and much careless talk goes on about the very low percentage per-centage of young women who preserve pre-serve their chastity, it is an extremely ex-tremely unpleasant and dangerous thing for a young wife to have in her background the memory of an illicit love. Besides the burning humiliation of discovering that her generosity has rather cooled than heightened his ardors, the girl has another price to pay. Her love for a man doubles when once she has given herself to him. She is plunged in-stantly in-stantly in horrible misgivings for fear she will lose him. And in each successive instance her charm for him lessens. Oh, there are sirens, of course, experienced married women who can play fast and loose with a lover until he is driven to distraction and suicide. But girls of 18 and 20 know nothing of these arts, and the boys who take advantage of them know it. A Tragic Experience. This is "Madelon's" letter: "A boy, who is fine in every way, and I had been going together for a year," she writes. "We love the same things, and although I am only 19 and Phil three months younger than I, we talked of marriage and felt that ours was a serious affair. Five months ago he talked to me of the long time we should have to wait until he is out of college and making some money, and asked me o seal our devotion and c ur engagement engage-ment by giving myself to him. ; -For some weeks I vould not hear of this, but he became sad, and reproached me for not loving him. Finally he took another girl to a picnic and paid so much attention to her all day, although I was at the picnic with my brother, that I told him I would hold out no longer. "Ours was a deep devotion and for a few weeks our secret love kept us both in a heaven of happiness, happi-ness, but then, in his anxiety to get married, Phil told his mother of our affair. He said she did not seem shocked, but told him he must go to a business college his uncle runs in Springfield and take two shorter courses that would fit him to earn his living. "Phil's father is dead. Phil and his mother them moved to Spring-field, Spring-field, and although he wrote me four times immediately, his letters then stopped. I think now his mother hoped all along it would be like this. But She Still Loves Dim. "Anyway, Phil did not come home for the long vacation; he and his mother and an old school friend of hers motored to California and had a wonderful time. Now he is at home; he has been here three weeks. I telephoned him at once and he sounded all right; later he telephoned and said he would see me soon. We then had a clam bake on the river. He accepted, but did not come, and sent me no explanation. explana-tion. Now I hear he is going with a very rich girl here, taking her to things and is at her house with her brother all the time. "If he told his mother about us I am sure he would tell this girl Mimi, too, and I feel as though I could not bear it I suppose that despite all this I still love him; certainly cer-tainly there is no other boy in town half as attractive. "My brother cut his foot this summer sum-mer playing tennis, and the doctor gave me some tablets to soak in water to wash it He said they are deadly poison. I have hidden three of them, and I feel sometimes as though that would be the way out for me; only I would hate to give a girl like Mimi the satisfaction of knowing that I would kill myself. Can you and will you help me?" No, Madelon, my dear, I cannot But time will Time will make all this hot young flurry of passion and Jealousy and weakness and shame like only a dream. It is a cruel enough dream, and hard enough fc. bear now, but get through the next year somehow; get through the agonies ago-nies of seeing him married to a pretty, devoted and morally stronger strong-er girl and tL worst will be over. Then the futun will hold for you a soberer and a ariser happiness.
