CHAPTER V
"Did your men harm him?" she
asked breathlessly,
He shook his head and smiled.
"No, Virginia. That is not my way."
She took Phil's letter from the
pocket of her dress, "Steve, do you
know any reason whys Phii should
write such a message?'
He took the letter and read it by
the light of a window, his face dark
and puzzled,
"No, 1 know of no reason tor such
a message." Then he smiled: "But
perhaps if I were Phil Lawrence I
should have written it, too -to
bring you to me,"
"That wasn't his motive," she said
emphatically, "He would have come
to me -if he lad merely wanted to
see me,"
"But why worry? You will see
hint tomorrow, Isn't Lt. Randall to
escort you to Phil's ranch?"
She did not answer at once. She
was thinking then' of Jim's kiss,
of the hatefulness of -it; thinking
that it was another of his ways to
mock and laugh at her. Se said
then:
"I don't care to have Lt. Randall
escort me. I think 1 shall have my
driver-"
Steve Barron broke in quickly.
"It is dangerous to travel alone;
certainly for a woman, ,If you do
not want the lieutenant's company,
let me go with you. I should like
that very much,"
She could see that he meant it;
that and her anger for Jim Ran-
dall decided her, "1 too, should like
hat, Steve,"
"1 shall come for you early," he
said.
In the pink -gray of dawn, the
sounds of horses clattered outside
the house. Virginia quickly finished
dressing for the ride and moved
quietly from her room, Martha Ben-
son's voice called a soft good -by
front behind her door, and Virginia
wentinto the early morning.
Two saddled horses stood waiting,
a man stood beside the one tight-
ening its cinch. Virginia lightly
orossed the porch, She was faintly
smiling, secretly amused by her con-
apiracy to ride off without Jiin Ran-
dail. Then she halted in displeasure
as she saw that this was him Ran-
dall,
His "Good morning" trail cheer.

tut, but site could not answer him
at all. He came to the horse's head,
ducked -under, and facedtier.,
" knew you'd be impatient to
start," he said. "So I came early.'
'You Knew 't changedi my pians,
didn't you?" Virginia said.
"Well. yes. Even though yeti
didn't inform me of the change."
"How did you know?" t
"Steve Barron came and talked
to you last night. When he left you,'
he bought a horse. I decided he
could want an extra mount only for
one purpose. And since you were
angry about last night's kiss-"
"You're very slow to understand,"
!=' Virginia broket in. "i don't want
your company. I wsn't travel with
you. I-"
"You will," he said easily, "even
if I have to lift you into the saddle
and tie you there, you're not going
off alone with Steve Barron,"
She could sec by his mood that
he would. Wordlessly she turned to
mount the gray mare he had
brought with his sorrel gelding. She
put her foot into stirrup and his
hand at her elbow lifted her up.
He mounted and they rode toward
the gates and beyond.
Twelve miles through 'the bios-
aoming morning took them across
the flatlands to the the
Hills.
They climbed over the hills and de-
scended into a valley bed that was
all dust and cactus, They found a
pass in the opposite hill range and
passed through. Beyond rolled cat-
tle land, stretching farther than the
aye could see, into the pale Mee
of space. Far off across the sea of
hunch -grass, grazed a herd of cat
tle. They turned away from the
herd, heading southwest.
They spoke not at all, and Vir-
ginia would have it that way. She
was content to be with her
thoughts, with her• awareness that
this was the final leg of her journey.
There was no haste in Jim, and he
kept the horses to a sharp walk.
The clopping of hoofs and the
tweaking of saddle leather sounded
loud against the vast quiet.
Finally, he said, "There le Law-
rence's ranchhouse,"
He pointed toward a distant red
butte. It rose out of the yellow -
gray heat haze. Virginia could see
nothing more at first. But then, aft-
er another half utile, she saw e
clump of cottonwoods and the white
walla of jn adobe house and near
tholhouse;the gray frame outbuild-
ings. .
They rode up to the house. The
door stood partly open. Virginia
called out, her voice excited, "Phil!"
Her voice struck against empti-
ness. She glanced at Jim and found
him frowning and looking sharply
about. They dismounted and walk.
ed to the door. Jinn pushed it
aside,

A Smart Trick
Which Worked
At a party'back^in '33, Roy Mc
Clean, a New York newspaperman
with a lopsided grin and a trick
memory for trivia, fell in love with
a photographer's model named Jan
Morrison, Jan was off to Holly•
wood in a few clays, bit Roy car-
ried the torch until her return a
year later. Jan, however, was still
playing the field, writes Billy Rose,
"1 could have a different date
every night for six months," she
told Roy at the train,
"1 desibt it," smiled Roy. "There
is a. new crop of chicks in town
since you left: your old 'playmates
pare a lot of new telephone num-
bers."
"Rut 1 wrote some of the boys
I was getting in today. 1'11 bet my
phone rings a dozen times tonight .•"
-"You're. on,". said Roy, "but let's
make the bet interesting. Wil] you
marry me, if nobody phones you for
a dale lip midnight«'
"Done," laughed Jau. Roy left
and she started to unpack. In ,t few
minutes the phone rang and Jan
skipped, over to answer 11,
is Alas. Tann enbau 31 there?" a
rasping voice -asked. -
"Wrong number," mitered -tan,
fly seven, nothing had•rhappened, ,-
"Still lime for a theatre date," Jan
decided, then tools off her gown to
keep it fresh and put on an old
bathrobe. ":Still time for the Stork
Club,' she decided three hours lat-
er, bet her heart wasn't in it, She
saw herself waiting endless nights,
for the phone to ring; she thought
about Roy and those new chicks
he had mentioned, What if 1.1E -
At 12 a bell' rang sharply. She
tan to the- phone, then realized .t
was the door. She opened it and fell
iota Roy's arms, bat hrohe,,,tears
and all. -
'1'hey drove to Maryland and got
spliced that eight. I sometimes '
wonder if Roy' ever told Jan this
interesting bit of trivia: That bark'
in 1934, • if you dialed a telephone
in New York and then kept your
receiver off the hook after the
other person had hung up, the
other person's phone was complete-
ly dead to incoming calla.
Big Mistake
A friend of mine heard a fascinat-
ing conversation by two teen-age
girls sitting on the front porch of
the adjoining house. One of them
began outlining the details of her
big date the evening before.
"Ile kept owing to kiss me," 0110
said breathlessly-, "anrl I kept say-
