CHAPTER XX\': Pete Haskell, head of the cattlemen, holds a meet- ing for his men who are angry at 1artla's plan to fence in more land for tobacco farms. Haskell goes to Bartle with an offer to buy the property. CHAPTER XXVI "Why not?" he drawled. "But it'll cost you exact t' ee hundred thou- sand dollars — cash." Haskell ' -erect •is hands angrily. "Twenty tunes what its worth! You must think you've got the whip hand, uh?" He got up from his. chair, bitter, belligerent. "All our ranches and :tock put together won't fetch that." "Why, 1 always thought you lords of all creation were worth millions," Bartle snet'Cd. 'Tasker tried to keep his temper, hut it teas difficult. Ile felt the hot blood of resentment suffusing his face. "Listen to timet" he made a final plea. "We ranchers can raise maybe seventy-five thousand cash between us. We'll bay—" "Three hundred an fifty thousand — or nothing." Bartle's smile was infuriatingly trinmphan . Haskell could stand no more of the banker. He turned and trudged heavily to the door. 'I've had my say," he growled over his shoulder. "I'm telling you that no tob cco man sets himself up i.t the north end of Deep Water Valle•• — and that's flat, Now go on with your blasted plans!"

Pete Haskell himself, with Tim Callan, who had ridden home with hint from Gold Creek, solemnly greeted each new arrival who swung down from his horse and entered the ranchhouse. Twice Haskell aur veyed the big room which, big as it was, soon became uncomfortably crowded with these Wren of the rage who had ridden here at his behest and were waiting for him to tell theist what 1•e had in mind. "I have been palavering with Russ Bartle," Haskell began seriously. "But I didn't get anywhere. He knows he's got the whip hand., and he aims to use the whip." Luke Wallace edged closer to the table over which Haskell spoke. "Did you offer to buy all the North end of the valley—as we sug- gested?" he asked. "Yeah, I did." Haskell's lips tightened grittily. "But Russ has been bookkeeping so everlasting much that he hasn't got any re• spe.t for anything less- than six figures crowding one behind the other. The price of the north end of the valley—'!te says—ie three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Cash!" "'That's plain highway robbery!" cried Wallace. "Did you tell hint there wasn't that much money in this whole half of the country? inquired Cal- lan. "Of course I did," Haskell an- swered, "But I should have known enough not to. It didn't mean any- thing to him, and he cared less." "Did you tell him we wouldn't let any tobacco farmerssquat in the north end of the valley?" ask- ed a Whiskered oldster from the back of the room, his voice qui- vering with emotion, "Yeah—I told him that." "And that if are fence went up to keep our cattle away fromthe water 'we're got a right to, that we'd take the law into our own hands?" urged Luke Wallace. "No!" Haskell cut him off. "ICe been hoping that some of you men have thought of something less mangy than riding roughshod over farmers that are only trying to make a living, after all," He Paused for suggestions, glancing from man to man of the grimfaced ranchers in front of him. "We're going, to. do Something!" Luke Wallace barked, "and I'm not a young man any more, and I've been here too long to be driven out of house and home by any barbed wire. And since there's no hope of help from the law, then we've Just got to forget about the law and use—" * * * "Force?" asked Haskell. 'Well," he temporized, "we can do one thing. As soon as a fence goes up around sweet water that we must have, that fas, we rip it down." "And if that way won't work?" W -allace snorted. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Haskell said' firm- ly. He had just opened his mouth to say more when the front door burst open to unexpectedly that Haskell himself, as well as every men present, swung around as if yanked by wires. Eyes popped. jaws dropped. Men were speech- less with amazement. • For on the threshold stood a man in the garb of a Spanish dos of long ago, a man with flaming red hair beneath a cone-shaped sombrero, and with a red kerchief drawn up over the lower part of his fate!
