Mosely was at home when they
reached the ranch steadiing. •He
, was 'very- much surprised- to• see
Miss Eliot but did not t let it' show
in his manner. • ' '
"You'll stay for . djnner of

ready in 'half an hour. Till then

If he was curious about the
reason:.,forLher-„Yisi .it i3e shbweti.•in',o

way he walked, carrying ..his

strength, and lightness. '
Anne was. .surprised at the 'dis-.
order' she saw all around her. The
'fences were well built and the
gates strong. There wasa netiw
windmill in the cerrhl. She'.caught:
glimpses of expensive machinery
in some sheds.' • The Hat T was
a prosperous going ' outfit, and
„ itsowner was 'very well . off. Yet
there: was an appearance almost
of squalor in the place. The
buildings . had been • flung up hur-
ried) without any - regard to
good looks; and there seemed to
be no decent pride of ownership.
On the porch, of the main house
• was a litter of odds and ends ap-
parently dropped there by '.the.
last owner. , Her glance picked
up a• eaddle, a' •pairof muddy

Mosely guessed at the criticism
in the young woman's mind. "Not
very neat; is it?" he said apolo-
' getically. "I've. been so busy
buildin.g� up the •ranch • that I
haven't •found time to curry. the
Hat T yet." ,
Since he seemed to_ ask for a
suggestion she made one
think • you could work so much
more efficiently with • order
around ,you." She did not men-
tion beauty. There was •not a
flower on the place. Its ugliness
was appalling. .
He 'shrugged his broad shoul-
ders complacently. "That will
conte in time. I'm going to make
this the show place of the coun-
try." His cool' grey eyes rested
on her. - !`The Hat T needs a
mistress. I'll -have to see about
that."
"Make a note . to attend to it
some day when you • .have time,"
she said gaily, and changed, the
subject by asking him how large
the' ranch was. • '
As they were 'returning he re-, •
ferred to their • .last meeting. He
mentioned it with a sniile, warm
and genial.
"I'm all the amore glad to see.
you, Miss Eliot,because we part-
ed a little edge -ways, at each
other,", he . said. "I don't want
that. It. is important to 'nee to
have your friendship. ' You have
come more than halfway to _meet
,me this time. Let, rtie go all, the, -
way to you at our next meeting.
- T know" you have jiear •'e ii things
about me. ' I;et me have a change
to remove that lead 'impression.
She nodded, smiling• at •him.
"I'm s0:, glad you feel that way.
I don't Want to be among your
enemies. ' In fact, ,1 wish you
didn't . have any."
";That can't be helped," he told
her. "It is only weaklings with-
out any backbone who have no
enemies. Take this land-grant
fetid. •If I enforce 'my rights
• as I' mean to do—I make foes of
the squatters who- are sitting on

An Absurd Position ' '
"I suppose se." After a' mom-
ent of hesitation :Anne said what.
*as in her mind. "Do you have
to take their land from ,them?
I've , just been told that old Hat
T ranch is a big one, not count-
ing the acreage in dispute." '
"I'nt not ,taking -their• land hut'
nay land front them.," he said
curtly: "Why shouldn't•., if the
courts ,decide in •my favor? , I
need a big • range to carry out
my plans. I.t is not my fault that
they bought froin those who did
riot -own what they sold." •
"Are you taoing to wait until
R °

asked,
He looked at her, sharply,
"What d'you mean?? Of ,.coarse

• "I'm glad of that."- She, hur- '
ried on, before her eourage
cooled. •'"I carne. to see you. be -
