Tom Cook, "Dad" Cook to all comers, and district ranger of the Inyo Forest, sat with boot heels on the edge of his desk and watched the play of light beyond his station door. A picture was framed there; Mount Whitney, bold, forbidding, flinging its black pinnacle upward against a red fan of sunset As Cook watched, blue eyes beneath gray brows squinted thoughtfully. His rugged form in khaki and flannel slumped a little to one side in that attitude a riding man often takes to relax saddle muscles. It was the first of June, and although from this same office chair Dad Cook had witnessed some fifteen other first of June evenings, the scene held him as spellbound as if his gaze had Just now struck upon the mighty peak. Fifteen years ago the Sierra Nevada had flung down their chair lenge to him, when, from the Desert, he had faced the sheer eastern slope and felt a grim defiance in the granite wall. Whitney melted slowly into the darkening sky. Cook continued to stare at it, while his thoughts from long habit took up things brought about by the first of June. This month marked the beginning of the field season. Headquarters must be moved from the winter station, here in the valley town of Lone Tree, and established some thirty miles up the pack trail. Soon he would sign on his summer rangers and scatter them over the area. There would be fires to fight and cattle range troubles to settle; and this year there would be something Mo-ja- COLPS Em MU I liyir J a Uhi could once. I'm handy with a gun if necessary. Don't those things about make me a mountain man?" "No," said Dad Cook, wagging his head, "you'd need something more. Look at me. I can go down to your city and jam myself in a flat and eat off a white table cloth, but I'd hate it and wouldn't get along with folks there. Just so a man has got to have his heart in these mountains or they'll get him. He's got to love 'em and fight 'em and all the time understand that he wouldn't be happy anywhere else." The old ranger hesitsted, with a slow smile lighting his eyes. "Think I'm a simple fool, don't you?" "Not quite," Breck laughed. "I don't have your feeling, Dad, mat's all.

"I know; and he acted a lot on impulse." Cook shot a stern gaze across the table. "If I read you right, you're some quick yourself." "Perhaps." "That trait is to a man's advantage sometimes," Cook continued, "but in this business he's got to ve think a long ways ahead. Cotter was a good ranger. I didn't intend to waste another one up there in the forest until I had found out who killed him." "You might as well put me on the job," Breck insisted. "You're the only man who knows I am Cotter's friend or of any bond between us. Someone would have to take his place. Ill learn the job and work at it. This other can be my own personal affair, if you like." Impulsively, Breck bent across the table. "Dad, I've got to get busy I I'm pretty much at loose ends." Breck paused to light a cigarette, striking the match savagely. Cook watched him with concern. "In trouble?" he asked. "Money, drink . . ." "No, not that It's, well Oh, the devil! I've just fallen out of love." "And that" the ranger agreed, his eyes twinkling, "is more of a shock than falling in." Breck grinned. "Shock nothing. This was just a fade-oAnyway, I want to work.
