Dawn would break In another hour. He must leave her then and go down to the Potholes. "When did Cook call your camp?" he asked, leading their talk to the nesters. "About the middle of the afternoon. He and Slim were to start, but they would be a day on the trail." "I hope Kern Peak can head them off, now that It's over." Breck continued. "Didn't Cook think I had help from the Potholen?" "He didn't say." Louise stirred up the fire and hunched herself closer to It Breck pushed their plates from the bedroll and sat next to her. "Louise," he asked, "can you tell me what I'm thinking about now?" Her lips began a smile, parted, By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS By HAROLD CHANNING WISE knfca Till-son'- s, "Gordon! Don't you see? Cotter lost his life and gained nothing; threw it away on a chance. It's terrible, all of it Something will happen, I know. But you, you must not be the one to pay heedlessly. Won't you consider it like that for your own sake?" Swept by the girl's fervor Breck drew her madly into the circle of his arms. "And for yours?" he asked, holding her close. "Louise!" She yielded only for an instant as he kissed her. Then she held' her face away while her eyes searched deep into his. '1 cannot answer saw the fineness of her attempt and could yield to It until his plan opened. Upon entering the room Cook drew a packet of letters from his saddle bag. Breck carried them to his bunk and stretched himself full length. Muscles were beginning to stiffen. Breck unwrapped his letters, ing at once the postmarks from one to three weeks old. His correspondence was not large, as his plan of coming to the mountains was known only to a few persons. Here was business mostly; though one envelope among the lot had never seen an office desk. It had cream paper inside, and even through the accumulated smell of leather and mules, gave off a certain fragrance. Breck had reason to recall that "Mud's up," said Slim, pouring a cup of coffee. Breck left his bunk and Joined the two men around a big black pot on the table. "So the nesters threw you down, did they?" Sierra began at once.

"Yea." "Well, Art Tills on came to our camp, day before yesterday. That was before the fire started. He night it start, stayed all nlght-t-he ed, and I talked with him. Now do you see?"

"What if they didn't start the fire?" he demanded. ."The Tillsons re holding a threat over the nesters. It's time for a cleaning and the trail starts down there!" Louise did not speak. He sensed swift tension of her body, though the only visible sign was of her fingers clasped tight about one knee. Suddenly she lifted her face to him. "Gordon Breck, I know the rules. A girl should never plead with a man. I'm not pleading. I merely ask. Promise me you will not go there now." She was so close at his side. He felt her quick breath and knew she And yet spoke in desperation. "You ask me to ignore a ranger's duty?" A note of defiance came into her voice as she replied. "What is a ranger's duty if it isn't to use his head! You have nothing on the nesters you can get nothing. That isn't the place to begin. You'll think I'm begging for them. I guess I am. I know some of the families, the women, and I don't want to see them driven out Give me a chance with them, won't you?" "A chance for what?" "To talk with Weller sometime." "I've talked with him already. It's useless. I'm through with words!" "Oh, you men are stupid!" she THERE is one meal that can be regarded as more important than any other, that meal is breakfast. It comes after the longest fast and precedes a major portion of the day's work. Thirteen hours elapse between a 6: 30 supper and a 7: 30 breakfast, and the body engine requires a new supply of fuel before the daily activities are begun. Yet all too frequently this first meal is inadequate in food values, and is gobbled in haste . . . with consequences that may have a ufacturing process not by whether it is hot or cold.

But He nodded, bending his bead until it touched the softness of her hair. With the dawn they rode north together, and parted on the ridge where Breck's trail struck west toward Rock House. CHAPTER XVI There were others already at his he cabin, when, about came into the meadow bowL He saw smoke rising from the chimney, and then with glasses, made out Sierra Slim in the doorway. Presently Cook appeared. They too stood with glasses at their eyes. Breck lifted one arm to them and rode on at a lope. "Howdy, partner," Slim greeted him. Cook's first question was, "Like fire fighting, son?" Breck swung off and shook hands, glad to see them. Sierra's face was as long and melancholy as ever. After the first welcome he said nothing. Cook was genial and helped throw off the pack, though he did not mention more of the Job until they had turned out the animals. Then walking from the corrals, he said, "Hot one for a time, wasn't mid-mornin- g, it?" "Kept me busy," Breck agreed. "We were on our way, but called Kern Peak and found you had it under control. There's some mail for you in my bag. That's why we swung around here. Pack train came up from Lone Tree yesterday and goes down tomorrow, if you have anything to send out" Breck nodded. He hadn't written a letter in six weeks. liked it His name was written with a swift impulsive dash, while the flap bore only, Irene Sutherland. He tore it open at once, and as ha read. Irene came to him vividly. Tall and slender and undeniably beautiful Black hair drawn to make three cornered her high forehead and accentuate her languorous dark eyes. It was a strange beauty, perplexing, all out of accepted standards. The note began with gossip, ignoring the fact that they had agreed not to write. She filled a page and said nothing. But then, on the second, came to her real purpose. The senator was home now, grumping for a vacation. No place to go; nothing new. Driving the family frantic like a big grizzly. "Do you have grizzlies? How splendid you must look in uniform! Like the rangers at Arrowhead." Breck looked down at his blackened work clothes and grinned. And then the truth. The High Sierras! How marvelous for the Senator's vacation. And with a ranger friend to show them about "Gordon, you can't refuse! Be a dear!"

Breck shot a glance at the gray- haired man across from him. Bitter ness had come into the ranger's voice when he talked of tools. "Dad," Breck asked, "Just why aren't there any In the Pothole box?"
