"The idea,"
“is to pick up

It was late afternoon before the
dogs, now far ahead, began a fran

gallop. The dogs were surrounding
something. A Double R stray?

At that moment,. a shower of

Then, suddenly, he said, “Play

For., a moment, Rusty’s mouth
stood open, Then she saw that an
other rider was approaching them
—one of the last three new^ hands
she had hired.
“•All I got to say," Dorward con
cluded, as the other rider came up,
“it’s, the last time I work fer a

“It’s the last time you’ll work

“You come to the house and I’ll

Suddenly, Rustv was cold with
fear. The ranch doors were never
locked, and inside, this night, were
only her mother, Manny and her

■Stealthily she went to her dooy

heard nothing. Then came the tell
tale creek of the front door, a bave-
lv discernible creak.
Swiftly, With .Fatso held hrmly

the hall to her mother’s room. She
literally dragged the sleep-stupid

“'Manny" — she laid her hand
over his mouth—“not a word out

•In the living room, the three pris

stood guard over them.
At first, under Westmore’s and
Ralph’s questioning, the trio 're
fused to talk. But finally, one of
them weakened.
“We didn’t aim to harm Miss
