SYNOPSIS Anne Eliot, a Massillon, Ohio, girl, inherits the `-'Powder Horn ' Sentinel" when Carl Rogers, her , uncle, is shot from ambush in a land-grant feud by Russell Mose- Iy's Hat T riders. As she steps• from the stagecoach at Blanco, Buck Sneve, a Hat T man, shoots at redheaded Jim Silcott, now editor of the "Sentinel," but only knocks off his hat and Silcott's bullet kills Buck. Rufe Jelks takes Anne to the "Sentinel" of- fice and Jud Prentiss,Hat T foreman, and his men shoot it up until told that Anne is inside. Anne learns that the gunplay fatal to Sneve followed the ap- pearance at the Trail's End of Jud and his men ` with Jesse Lamprey whom Jud accused of double.crossing Mosely in the land-grant feud. Jesse's younger brother Phil refused to leave without Jesse and when Jud was about to beat up Phil, Silcott, waiting for a poker game, asked if Moseiy's orders included beat- ing, up boys. Jud warned Jim, then slashed Jesse with his quirt until he fell writhing to the floor. It was after this that Jud, Buck and other Hat T men lay in wait for Jim. Anne fears for Jim's life but he refuses to quit, say- ing he can't let Mosely drive him out. Mosely offers to buy the "Sentinel" but Anne says she will run it herself. Mosely discharges Pesky Kennedy, Jud beats him up and Pesky tells Jim that Mosely is going to blow up Jim's irrigation dam. At Bar Over - street's ranch Anne meets Lamp- rey. She had eloped with him at Massillon, he deserted her and she tells him she never wants to see hint again. Anne tells Mosely she hears he plans to blow up Silcott's dam, CHAPTER 26 Plano Awry Russell Mosely spoke with the confident arrogance of alto whose decision is not to be questioned. But Anne would not give up yet. "I have tried to be fair in the paper," she said. "Did you object to the way 'Sentinep covered the Sneve killing?" • "No, You might have handled the story worse. But you are against the editorially." "Not against you personally," she corrected. "Against your policy." "It comes to the sante thing." He brushed the whole thing aside impatiently. "Weil, let's go in and have some dinner." The man interested her. Listen- ing to hint as he talked at dins per, she was convinced that he would go far. No fastidious scruples would restrain him. She guessed that he had political am- bitions, national rather than local, Though he seemed to be frank, he was impervious, she felt, to a recognition of rights of others which ran contrary to his own. His talk ranged over many subjects. That he was well-in- formed was plain, but out of his rounded phrases dropped queer little hints of moral callousness of which he was unaware.

"It's been nice meeting y again," she said. "Even thou I don't understand you," "Time enough for that," h told her blandly, with a confide smile. "We're going to kno each other well. By the' wa just what is it you don't unclestand? Perhaps I can explai myself." • "You have Iarge,ideas — grea ambitions. You are going to tr vel a long way—if you don't tri yourself." ' "What do you mean-- tri myself?" She tilted an impudentgrin a hint. "You won't like it, if go on." "Let's have it" Fallen Among Thieves "You're a big • man, strong forceful, dominant.

I daresay it's Cheek of me to say so. But it's true You're going to hamper yoursel terribly. A person can't be pett about some things and big abou others." He flushed, resentfully. "I'l tell you something, Miss Eliot. You've fallen among thieves. Un- til you cut loose from them your opinion won't be important." "I was afraid you would take it that way" Anne said. "Well, good-bye. We don't seem to do anything but quarrel, do we?" Mosely said, recovering his smile, "It's the last thing I want to do with you. A young woman as charming and beautiful as you ought not to be so wrong-headed. I'm gping to make it my business to teach you better." 13111 Overstreet had come up with the horse. As Anne gathered the roles to mount she looked back over her shoulder. "Did you ever hear about the blind leading the blind?" she asked. e * c A Smooth Worker Jinn Silcott and Pesky Ken- nedy stamped out their campfire after drinking strong` black cof- fee and eating flapjacks and bacon on a mountain lodge, far above the valley. Soon the sun would come up, and they did not want any drift of telltale smoke to warn the enemy of their prox- imity, On the previous day they had scouted the country and located Pete Yeager's camp. It was in a hill pocket half a mile from Silcott's dam. Stationed among the rocks above it, they had looked down and watched Pete cooking his solitary supper. That he was there for mischied was clear. There were no Hat T stook In this wild region of tip - tilted strata, Soon he would be joined by others. The sun showed over the hori- zon and with a pair of field glasses Silcott scanned the pan- orama below. "I see them," Jim called to his companion. Pesky joined him, and Jim handed him the glasses. "Just coming out of the valley. Sec. On the second ridge to the left," Jim pointed, "I've got 'em Red," Pesky said, "You were right. Only two of them -and a paok horse with the dynamite. Mosely doesn't want to tip his Manta to too many." "No. When he's made his pile R, M. is going to turn respectable as ]tell. He's a smooth worker. I'll bet those fads coming to do his dirty work can't prove Russ sent them," "You'd win that bet," the crook -nosed man with the rusty hair answered bitterly. "He drops a hint to Jud Prentiss, who works out the details and passes on the scheme ' to picked scalawags. If anything goes wrong Mosely will be grieved in public and will give - them fits in private." "We might as well saddle and drift down," Silcott etrr est og ed.

Some "Chalk -lines" Most of the modern posts are manned with two men, one the senior trader and the other an assistant, The company of one than is no guarantee against be- ing "hushed" as has been demon- strated by trapper partners who, after months of isolation, have drawn chalk lines through the centre of their cabin and have re- mained strictly within their own boundaries, never' exchanging a word. Hudson Bay and James Bay fur posts have been established more than 200 years and the ways of tolerance and good na- ture are pretty well established, with older men passing down a tradition of continued courtesy which smooths over the irritations arising from enforced association for months on end when minor eccentricities are exaggerated and personal mannerisms become vexations. Models of Tidiness With red roofs and whitewash- ed walls, northern posts are mod- els of tidiness. Paths aro of loose shale, bordered by. whitewashed rocks. A standard piece of equip- ment today is the high pole and propellor which transforms into electrical energy for house lights and radio the winds which blow ceaselessly over the barrens. "We read and listen to the ra- dio in the evenings and we keep in touch with world affairs; sometimes we take up a course of study and come out of the north with better educations than we had when we went in," the trader said. "Once you have sport two years as a trader you'll never be happy at anything else."

Now, out of Michigan State College, comes the surmise that the hired 1050, once tate back-boue of the nation's farms, is on the way out.
