Breck opened his eyes. It was still dark. Rising upon one elbow, he saw Dad Cook holding a pot over the fire. The old man jerked his head sharply. "Up and at it!" Breck obeyed. This was business. As he started down to the creek he heard a rush of animals in the corral, the sudden squeal of horses, then Sierra Slim's gentle cursing. A wash in water that was only a few miles from snow aroused him thor oughly and brought a wolfish appetite. Cook and Sierra were already eating when he returned to camp. He squatted down beside them. Fried meat fried potatoes, thick slices of bread, and coffee of the aoPri! and then one o'clock before Cook halted the train for hall an hour's rest Breck dismounted, still in the legs and glad to walk. Sierra Slim boiled a gallon pot ol water and threw in a fistfull of tea. man That with whatever food each saddle in bags, his to cared put had was lunch. It was while they squatted near the fire, warming their hands and a clatter eating, that Breck heard He below. somewhere of hoofs looked down into a narrow canyon that cut the mountains to the south of Farewell Gap. A second trail led two horseup there and presently men appeared on it. He waited until they crossed a treeless area before shifting his scrutiny from them and back to Cook and Slim. They too were watching. Another rider came some distance behind the first two, as if a rear guard for them; all three passed up the canyon, unencumbered by pack animals. With them was a gray, wolf-lik- e dog. They were half a mile distant yet their tall figures and their alert seat gave identity. Coming onto a shelf they put their horses in a jog trot and vanished at a point where the two Wails joined. "That" said Sierra Slim, "ain't noways hard to read!"

Toward noon they had climbed the desert shelf and were near the road's end, where Breck saw some sort of camp along a willow creek. A corral enclosed one end of a box canyon further on, and from this rose a cloud of dust. He glimpsed a herd of animals racing before a lone horseman, then caught a deep in voice, slow and spite of the curses it uttered. "That's Sierra Slim," Cook ex plained, "one of my forest guards. Must have seen us coming and has wrangled up the pack train. You'll meet a real moss-bacmountaineer in Sierra. He's going to be your partner until you're well broke in." They stopped their truck under the trees, climbed out, and a moment later Breck watched a lank. d figure amble down from the corrals. He wore a black Stetson of the cow country, with its high crown knocked into a peak. The rest of his costume was equally haphazard; flannel shirt with bright red and black checks, gray jeans, shoes with golf soles. "Slim," said Cook, "this is Breck. He's going up with us to take over Rock House station." "Glad to know you," he declared perfunctorily. "Goin' to take Cotter's place, eh? Well, for me now, I can't see myself doin it.
