No, I don't ever want to leave it." Somehow Jim got through that Ions ride of suspense, fear' and thrills, and when they renched Grand Junction Just after dark it was none too soon for him. Fortunately he got Helen Into the little Inn before Klie was recognized, and then returned to put the tired horses In the care of a stable boy. He' was late for supper, having taken time to shave and change bis shirt To his surprise he found Helen radiant. "What do you think Bernle has done?" T.ernle !" ejaculated Jim. "Yes.

"You know I wouldn't take a dollar!" flashed Jim. "Well I What do you want, Jim?" she Inquired, with a woman's sweet tantalizing mystery. "However, never mind that now. Listen. Bernle hired all the riders available to hunt for me. Also he found where Hays sold our cattle, and he forced the buyers to sell back every bead, at the price they paid. He threatened to take the case to Salt Lake City." "That's sure good news. It might have a tendency to end rustling, at least- - In wholesale bunches. Did you hear how badly your brother was hurt?" "She did not mention that Anyway It couldn't have been much, for Bernie has been here. . , . Aren't you going to eat any supper? Oh, I shall not sleep much tonight. . . , And what shall I tell Bernle? The query was arresting to Jim and he hastened to direct her mind Into other channels, trying to make her feel concerned that they had still fifty miles to cover. Lvery movement of that ride next day was a joy and a pang. It seemed as short as the preceding one had been long. Helen wa3 gay, sad, thoughtful, and talkative by turns, but she did not Infringe on the one subject that crucified Jim. it cnaneea that as they surmounted the pass that led down into Star Ranch valley the sun was setting out of a glorious cloud pageant over Wild Horse Mesa and the canyon brakes of the Dirty DeviL.

"By Jove here you are!" was his greeting, as cool and unemotional as If they were return Ing from a day's visit to the village. "Yes, Bernie, here I am thanks to my escort," replied Helen. Jim helped her out, while some cowboys came. running. "Ill take the team down," Jim suid, hurriedly. "You come In," returned Herrlck, as he gripped Jim's hand and gave h!m a searching glance. lie kissed Helen and led her In, with his arm around her. Jim purposely lingered at the task of collecting Helen's worn and muddy luggage, and car ried It In. Brother and sister stood with arms locked, and their gaze was hard to meet. "Jim, you will have supper with us," she said, "I'll leave you and Bernle. . . . Oh, what will a tub i .end a change feel like!"

"I have all the money, almost to a dollar, Herrlck," replied Jim, The Englishman regarded that as of little consequence and urged Jim to a recital of the whole affair. j Presently Herrlck spoke with fotiietnlng (fc gravity: "Helen told me that I was to keep you at Star ranch.

"I am taking where it left off up my ranch life with reservations from sad experience," replied Helen, as she took her seat "Bernle, we had to trade Jim's horse, Bay, What can he ride today?" "He may take his choice. There are any number of good beasts." "By the way, Jim, I told Tasker to follow us at once with our horses. I shall treasure that horse. Gray. A robber's horse . . .

The fact that I did not know what these things really were until lately should not be held against me." "But It might be generosity pity the necessity of a woman of your kind to to pay." "True. It might be. Only it Isn't I brought you here!" Jim wrapped his arms around her and for the reason that he was ashamed to betray the tears which blinded his eyes, he burled his face In her lap and mumbled that he would worship her to his dying breath and in the life beyond. She ran soft ungloved hands through his hair and over his temples. "People, cities, my humdrum existence had palled me. I wanted romance, adventure, love. . . .

"So soon!" exclaimed Helen, with dark. Inscrutable eyes on him "Bernle, could you not Induce Jim to stay?" Herrlck waved a deprecatory hand.

Now I know I built me a little dam on my place at Santa Monica, and the silt filled up faster than we could build the dam, and backed up further up the creek than the water did. So all our dam did was Just level off the ground above the dam. We corraled no water. In fact we Just seemed to lift the bed of the creek up so it could get over the dam better. The water thought we did it purposely so It could get out of there easier. But about K V this Boulder Dam, I know there is lots you of wondered about the same thing I did, the silt.
