"Any advanced thinker would hold that a minute would be long enough," the girl replied. He nodded. He saw she was displeased, and experience had taught him that the world Is very apt to hear about it when young and pretty women are displeased. So he waited, while Mary Sutherland appraised him for about five seconds and then said: "Are you acquainted in these parts?" He nodded affirmatively. "Do you know where, when and from whom I can engage transportation to the Wagon Wheel ranch?" "If necessary," he replied gravely, "that can very easily and promptly be arranged." "I wrote Mrs. Burdan, of the Wagon Wheel ranch, a week ago that I this mornwould arrive at six-teing and she telegraphed that the station wagon would meet me. But she hasn't sent the station wagon and I must say that omission isn't calculated to encourage a paying guest to cheer for the Wagon Wheel n ranch." "The lack of your cheers would scarcely come under the head of a deprivation. Miss Sutherland. From all I can learn no dude ba ever cheered for the Wagon Wheel ranch and, as a result of its failure to please, combined with other misfortunes. It discontinued yesterday to entertain paying guests." "Do you mean to tell me," Mary Sutherland demanded, "I am marooned In a wide place in the road called Sughuaro?" "You are but you can be if you care to entrust the operation to a total stranger." "Are you the proprietor of another dude ranch in this vicinity and has Mrs. Burdan referred me to you?" "God forbid," he protested piously. "Nor is there any other dude ranch In this vicinity, notwithstanding the fact that we have quite a lot of vicinity, I'm Just a wandering Boy Scout alert to perform his one good deed for the day." "But you know who I am." "I observe an old Railway Express label on your trunk from which it appears the trunk was once expressed by Miss Mary Sutherland, Palm .Beach. Florida, to Miss Mary Sutherland, 680 Park Avenue, New York." His cool assurance irritated her faintly. "How do you know that is my trunk? People sometimes borrow trunks, labels and alf" "I know," he answered patiently, "but your purse is adorned with the initials M. S. in gold block letters and so are your suitcases and hand-- ' bag. So 1 11 take the short end of a large bet you're Mary Sutherland." The reward for that evidence of spinster and broke her leg and wrenched her back.

"You're breaking my heart," Mary murmured, "but go on.' So they couldn't send the station wagon for me because the station wagon had been attached." "No, the station wagon wasn't attached. Fortunately Pa was buying it on the Installment plan, so the legal title to it stood in the name of You see, all a finance company. these woes descended upon Ma and Pa yesterday, like a flock of buzzards upon a dead calf. Ma had endured much as the wife of the world's champion visionary, but (he just couldn't take all this bad nws at a gulp; so she packed her cowhide trunk and cardboard suitcase, had Pedro load them into the station wagon for her, then climbed in behind the wheel and shouted: Good-bPa.

An' don't try to follow me, because I got a full tank o' gas an' 1 aim to travel till she's emptier'n your head.' And away she went, out of sight around the bend." "What's going to become of them?" "I don't know. I'm trying to formulate a plan to do something for them, but it's a pretty big order for me. I'd love to own the Wagon Wheel ranch. Everything Is lovely about it with the exception of Pa's scrub cattle and old, disillusioned saddle stock."

He closed the door, washed his hands carefully at the tiny sink and after the manner of a waitress in a bean-er- y, intoned wearily: "Whole orange, sliced orange, orange juice or canned pineapple, ham and eggs, bacon and eggs, any style, toast, hot cakes and coffee." Mary chose orange juice, bacon and eggs, country style, toast and coffee. "Coming right up," he assured her and set a coffeepot on his little gasoline stove. Presently he glanaed at his watch. "Eight o'clock. Time for the first news broadcast," he announced, and turned on fa radio clamped on a shelf.

"Eggs straight up or over?" he asked. "Who cares?" Mary replied. "You get them straight up. I can't turn them without busting them. My one culinary weakness. Draw up to the table." He placed her orange juice before her; when she had finished drinking it, her bacon, eggs and toast were ready and he poured himself a cup of coffee and sat down with her, explaining that Pedro and he had already eaten breakfast at the Wagon Wheel ranchl "I was in a fair way of forgetting the scurvy treatment accorded me by that defunct hostelry," Mary declared, "but now that you mention the Wagon Wheel ranch, what happened?"
