Matt Blair's Sun Valley Ranch, bet-
ter Imown as the Circle V, But he
bacl chosen to arrive from -the oppos-
ite direction, and on horscbaelc. It,
was the way by which he had first
come, a' silent, black -headed little sav-
age with weary body and suspicious
eyes, twenty years before. Twenty
years almost to the day. Matt Blair
had brought hien. Now he was corning
back the same way, over the same
trails. Matt would laugh at him for
being such a kid, but he would like
it.
A fleeting grin showed; Lee touch-
ed : his horse to a brisker gait. He
meant to follow that distant day to
the very hour.
Late afternoon found himgoing„
steadily downward, not in a direct
grade, but in a rolling succession of
low ridges. He topped the crest of
the last one and drew in.
There it lay, a wide valley floor
deep in grass, where grazing never'
failed in the dryest seasons. A
plumy line of willows and cotton
woods enarkedt the course of a creek,
and there was a smaller stream,
mountain fed, at the southern end.
Mountains rimmed it around, taking.
the brunt of winter storms on their
shoulders. Off to the west and south -1
west they were ;little inorethan r:,agged
hills, but on the east and northeast
timbered heights looked clown, cut.
with deep canyons and thrusting out
gaunt pr,•onnoni:ories of rock. There
was one tall pinnacle that looked like
a• monument. At the •southwestern
end the reneh buildings lay, low and
pleasantly .st`agglinl;•, and swinging
north again, 'the'. ifoothil1s Imaech('ed,
clipping sharply to a notch which
lormecl a frame for shimmering dis-
tence beyond. Out there were the
high desert slopes acid the road tb
Saunders. At the northern end; where
Leesat his patient horse, the hillside
was bare and rugged; dropping down
in a rock wall which seemed to close
the valley in, until •one saw the nee -
row cleft beyond.
Lee's eyes warmed as he looked
down. There was no place like it.
It was good to be back again, to slip
in this way and eurpise Matt. Good
old Matt. Virginia would be home
too, osrco more a raneher'e girl, • after
the years of travel and fashionable
schools that, an indulgent father had
given her. What with that and his
own restless wanderings, he had not
seen Virginia since she was a slim
bit of impudence, just turned fifteen.
The warmth vanished in a puzzled
frown. Over on the left his' ranging
eye had caught sight of a wide ugly
slash on the timbered slope. That
was odd, Timber was too valuable to•
be wasted. Matt never cut that way.
He either thinned, with an eye for
second growths, or cleared entirely.
That strip was" wastefully cut, with
high stumps like the snapped -off
masts of a wrecked ship. Lee's sharp-
ened glance flicked toward the valley
again. Down there he had seen a
small bunch of cattle, perhaps fifty
or sixty. ' That also was unusual. The
Circle V cattle always ranged the
hills at this time of the year. They
should not be grazing the sheltered
valley for months yet.
