You mean to deny you know where she is? Gordon shouted. Ropers voice did not change. You talk like a fool, he said. Lew Gordons eyes were savagely intent upon Ropers face; he was trying to discover if this man could be believed.

It was true that he talked to certain men in the town before he had come here. Now suddenly he knew that he had learned what he had come to find out. He buttoned bis coat, pulled on his gloves. Gordon confronted him stubbornly. "I mean you shant leave here without telling me what you know. A glint of hard amusement was plain In Bill Ropers eyes. I know what you've told me.

"When I get ready to leave, Ill leave, all right My advice to you is to begin using your head. I may be in a kind of funny position. But it puts me where I know things about the Montana range that neither you nor your outfits have got any clue to. If you want your daughter back you better figure to use what I know about the Deep Grass. Lew Gordon compelled himself to temporize. What he couldnt get around was his own belief that Roper knew something definite, specific, about where Jody had gone or had started out to go. He must have known also, in spite of the bluff to which anger had prompted him, that he could not hold Roper here when Roper decided to leave, nor force any information from him in any way whatever. What is it you want to know? he asked at last, helpless, and angry in his helplessness. In the first place, I want to know what made you think Jody was with me? Lew Gordon deYou swear, manded, you dont know the answer to that?" I dont swear anything, Roper said. 1 asked you a question, Lew. Lew Gordon hesitated. It was a good many years since anyone had talked to him in the tone Bill Roper took; but for once the purpose in hand outpowered the violence of his natural reaction. He turned from his litter of papers, and handed Bill Roper the little scrap of Jodys handwriting which was all she had left to indicate where she was gone. One of you must be made to see reason. I am going to talk to Billy Roper myself. When Bill Roper had read that, the eyes of the two men met in hostile question. "This looks mighty like a false lead, to me, Bill Roper said at last.
