Since the ipeed he had shown that afternoon, he would be guarded, cherished, watched over like the crown prince. Ken could hardly believe It "Do you mean youll keep him In this winter, dad? And and feed him oats and hay? "With my own fair hands! What's more I'll ride him and continue his training whenever I have time. Thata the least I can do If hes going to put wooden fences on the ranch and buy a furnace for usl What do you think, Nell? He had seen her sitting there, silent and white, after the hard look he had given her. She looked up as he spoke to her. His face was genial and smiling. First the blow then the smile But she didnt answer for a moment and Ken wa Impatient "Mother! he exclaimed. "Yes, she said. "By all means! Keep him In. would raise an animal like that? There was the sound of galloping. Three beautiful sorrel mares, Ta Ty, and Russet came cantering down the pasture toward the corral with Ken. mounted on Thunderhead, behind them. Howard hastened to open the gates, the mares trotted in, and Ken slid off his horse. Thats all, dad, he yelled. Theyre ell here. Thirteen of em. All right. Unsaddle your horse. You can wipe him off. but don't take all day. I want you to help Howard groom those others. The gate of the corral where Rob was exercising Injun was carefully opened. Nell entered and atood watching. She was dressed In a summer suit of light blue linen and a tan straw hat with a round brim that curved off her face. It we nearly the color of the tawny bang that gleamed on her forehead. With her hands thrust Into the pockets of her jacket and her email feet In their sturdy flat shoes planted In When Nell asked Rob, she made It very casual. She was brushing her balr for the night "By th way, Rob did you see Bellamy? "Yes." "What about the sheep? Its O.K. "Thank HeavenI Will he be able to pay us the first half before Howard leaves? No, he cant do that He has to wait until he sells his lambs. Whatll we do? We have to have that eight hundred by September tenth. Rob had his back to her. standing before his chiffonier. There was something very rigid about his body the legs braced apart a little, head back. "I'll take some horses down to the Denver auction this next week. Nell made no comment She calculated rapidly. Every summer he had half a dozen or ao "scrubs to sell at any price he could get-ho- rses who were too small, or poorly developed, or with some defect Sometimes he sold them to Williams, a horse buyer who went around to ranches with his own auctruck; or at one of the near-b- y tions. Wherever be sold them, he would be lucky to get fifty dollars apiece for them. There were also the two old brood mares to be sold. Altogether, that would make, perhaps, four hundred dollars. What else would he sell to make up the difference? There had been many arguments between herself and Rob on the subject of providing for their current needs by sales of horses no matter at what sacrifice. He always What? Sell a refused to do It. horse thats worth fifteen hundred dollars for fifty? Not if I was starving. But Rob how many sales of that sort do you get? 'Tve had some Weve lived, havent we? four horses four years ago at seven hundred dollars a piece. Then Then, none the next year. one for two thousand I admit that was a good sale But you must have thirty or forty horses just waiting for one of those sales and they only come once in a blue moon When we need the money, you might as well sell half a dozen for anything you would still have enough fine horses for any sort of deal that came along. Id rather sell one for two thousand than twenty horses at a hundred dollars a head, or forty horses Yes at fifty. Such remarks as these were un- answerable. But he wasnt talking like that now. Nell glanced at him. Did he mean that he would take some of his fine stuff down to the Denver auction and let it go cheap? As he turned she saw his face, weary and harassed. He went into the small adjoining bedroom where be kept bis boots and clothes. talked back and forth They through the open door while he washed her face In oil and carefully dried it. Wasnt It exciting about Thunderhead? she asked. Yep. You didnt see the best of it, I wish you had. she said. She could hear him polishing his shoes before he put them away. Oh, he can run! he said. He's fast, if he ever gets the kinks ironed out of him Dont wait for me Im going to smoke a pipe before I turn in. dont seerc "You slock No him, Rob. in I dont. to take much sofa. riATumrM Nell atood near by, watching. It depressed her. She didn't mind the ancient brood mares and the scrubs, but Sultan! And tha three sorrel mares! And the two bluest "Sklppy might help, said Nell, "and you could squeeze her in she's so small they wouldn't know she wae there. "Ken, come herel yelled his fa ther. He put Ken on Sklppy, placed her In advance of all the others and told the boy to ride her through the chute and up the ramp. As Ken did so. Rob and Howard forced the other horses after them. Sklppy led the procession triumphantly but laid her ears back when sha found herself penned Into a corner of the truck with no room to kick and no oata. "Just promise not to bring Sklppy back, even If you have to give her away," called Nell aa they closed the truck. She walked up onto the hill to aee the last of them. Kim and Chaps sat down beside her and watched too. She thought she saw a band waving just before the truck went around the curve. Then It waa gone and the hurried Indoors. The old brood mares sold Immediately for forty dollars apiece after it was ascertained that each one carried a foal Better that than the coyotes, muttered Rob. There was more bidding for the crubs. They were ridden around and around the ring by the ring boys, while whip cracked and the raucous voice of the auctioneer rattled as fast as the tobacco sell-er- a on the radio. The scrubs were auctioned off for an average of forty-fiv- e dollars each. Sultan was led In. "My Gosh! Look at that horse! exclaimed the auctioneer. The hammer crashed. "Who'll bid a hundred for him? A hundred! A hundred! Who'll bid a hundred? As he poured out hla line, the ring boy made a leap for Sultan's back. Sultan reared and plunged away, tore loose from the rope, and went galloping around the ring. Three boys pursued him, cornered him, got his rope; he still fought them, the whips cracked, he lashed with his heels, and the auctioneer, not looking at him, was crying, Who'll bid a hundred? Am I bid hundred? Seventy-five,- " bid a heavy-se- t farmer. Seventy-six- ! bid the man In the bowler hat. The farmer bid "Eighty.

Youre taking Sultan? she asked. And Smoky and Blue. She noticed them in the string that Howard and Ken were grooming. They were blue roans a pair of beauties, with sweeping tails and gentle eyes, just too small for Army or polo, but well broken and beautifully matched. Nell had always thought of them as belonging to two little girls, sisters, who would love them and saddle and groom them themselves. "And Taffy, and and Russet, said Rob, turning Injun and riding him down along the fence again. Nells question was answered. Rob was going to do the thing he had always vowed he would never do throw away some of his best stuff to meet an urgent need of the moment. Injun turned and came back. Robs face was hard as nails. Nell hated to look at it. She could see the real suffering underneath. Id have saved Sultan for the army sale hed have been certain dolfor a hundred and eighty-fiv- e lars except for that scar on his chest. Damn the barbed wire! As if Injun felt the passion and violence of his master he began to crouch and lunge. Rob turned him sharply away from Nell and forced him to resume his measured pacing up and down the corral fence. When he reached Nell again he paused and said more calmly, You dont often see such horses as these in this country. I know you dont, said Nell sadly. There wont be anything at the auction to touch them! I dont doubt it. Mother! yelled Howard from the other corral, Dont you think we ought to take Skippy to the auction and sell her? scoffed Sell her! Rob, sell Skippy! The boy must be out of his mind! Nell laughed. Someone might buy her. A child could ride her. The thirteen horses were ready for loading, crowded into the small corral which opened into the chute. recent It was always a difficult business.
