As he drew nearer the ranch Lee

circle, extinguishing a burning brand
here and there.,
"What sort ' of a fool would want
to climb way up here to start a, fire,
anyway?" he grumbled.
Then, unexpectedly, he came upon
the happiest -looking man he had ever
seen, with his arms about an amaz-
ingly pretty girl. Not just the" sort
of thing a' lone forest ranger counts
upon stumbling upon on the top of
a mountain, Greene stared in bewild-
erment, Bud Lee turning a flaming
red. Judith smiled,
"Good morning, stranger," said Lee
"Fine day, isn't. it?"
Judith laughed.. Greene. continued
to stare. Lee went a trifle redder.
"If you two folks just started that
fire for fain," grunted Greene finally,
"why, then, all I've got to say is.
you've got a' blamed queer idea of
fun. Here I've been busting myself
wide open to get to it."
"Haven't got a flask of brandy on
you, have you?" asked Lee.
"Yes, I have. And what's more. I'm
going to take a shot at it right now.
If anybody asks you, I need it!"
Now, Lee heard for the first -time
something of Judith's'adventure. For,
recognizing the ranger in' Greene, she
told him swiftly why she had started
the fire, of her trouble with Quinnion
of the cave where Quinnion had at-
tacked her and of Mad Ruth. He
swept off his hat' and came forward,
n
suddenly apologetic and very human,
proffering his brandy, insisting with
Lee upon her taking'a sip. of it.
Yes, he knew Mad Ruth, he knew
where her cabin was. He could find
the cave from Judith's description.
Also, he knew of Quinnion and he
would be delighted to break a record
getting back to his station and to
White Rock, White Rock was in the
next county, but so, for that matter,
was the cave. He'd get the sheriff
and would lose no time cornering
Quinnion if the man had not already,
slipped away.
"I don't know you two real well,"
said Greene, with a quick smile at the
end, "but if you don't mind, pardner,"
and he put out his hand to Lee, "I'd
Iike to congratulate you! I don't
know a man that's quite as lucky this
morning as you are!"
"Thank you," laughed -Judith.: She
rose and shook hands too. "We're at
Blue Lake ranch for the present.
Come and see us."
"Then you're Miss Sanford?" said
Greene. He laughed. "I've heard of
you more than once. Greene's my
name."
"Lee's mine," offered Lee.
"Bud Lee, eh? Oh, you two will
do! `So long, friends. I'm off to look
up Quinnion.":
And, swinging his axe blithely,
Word is seat to Lee that Quinnion
has been casting slurs'on Judith's
name because of the night she and
Lee were together in the cabin. With
Carson, Lee finds Quinnion, worsts
him in a fight and makes him confess

Convinced her veterinarian, Bill
Crowdy, is treacherous, Judith dis-
charges him, re-engaging an old
friend of her. father's, Doc. Tripp.
Pollock Hampton, with a party of,
friends, conies to the ranch to stay
permanently. Trevors, accepts Hamp-
ton's invitation to visit ,,the ranch.
Judith's messenger is held up and
robbed of the monthly pay roll.
Bud Lee goes', to the city for more
money, getting back safely with it,
though his horse is killed under him.
Both he and Judith see Trevor's hand
in the crime. Hog cholera, . hard to
account for, breaks out on the ranch.

said Judith. "And I would like a

chance to.brush my hair. .And the
bacon doesn't taste so good as it did
and 1 want an apple and a glass of

So at last they left the mountain-
top and made, their slow way down.
As they went Lee told her some-
thing of what had:happened at the
ranch, how Carson would hold off the
buyers, how Tommy Burkitt was as
stoning charge of Pollock Hampton.
And when they came near enough to.
Burkitt's and:Hampton's hiding -place,
Lee fired a. rifle several times to get
Burkitt's attention. Finally they saw
the boy, standing against the sky up-
on a big rock, waving to them. From
Lee's shouts, from his gestures, chief-
ly from the fact that Judith was
there,`` Burkitt understood and freed

swiftly down to Judith and Lee.
