CHAPTER III
The horse's action was unexpected,
and the girl almost lost her seat, but
as the bay hit the ground with bone-
j'arring force, she recovered herself.
It was only the beginning, however.
The animal uncorked every trick in
the bag to unseat his rider. He
'whirled, sun -fished, crow -hopped.
Roy spurred his horse, galloped
alongside, got a firm grip on Sarah's
waist, and lifted her, allowing the bay
to rocket away. Then, he set Sarah
down on her feet.
She looked up at him and smiled.
"Thanks, Roy! I can't understand
what got into him. He's never done
that before."
"I'11 catch him and give him a look-
see. It ain't natural for a docile hawse
to act thataway 'less there's some-
thing bothering him."
The bay, with his rider gone, had
finally quieted down. He submitted
to the rope easily. Roy led him back
to the corral. He loosened the cinch
and pulled the saddle from the ani-
mal's back. Sarah stood watching
him.
He pulled several cockleburs from
beneath the saddle blanket.
"I reckon somebody around here
was right anxious to see you get
throwed," he said. "Did you saddle
this cayuse yourself?" Roy looked sus-
piciously at Mescal, who was stand-
ing nearby.
"I certainly did," said Sarah. "And
it wasn't Mescal who put those burrs
there. I'm sure of that."
Mescal's eyes brightened. "The
senorita knows that I would not do
such a theeng. The blanket, she hang
on the fence." He shrugged, his hands
extended, palms up.

Roy had not really suspected the
Mexican. There was too much dog-
like devotion in his eyes for Ms em-
ployer. That left only Picos or Gimp.
But why would either of them do such
a thing?
Strange Things Happen
He replaced the blanket and resad-
died the bay. The horse made no ob-
jections this time as the girl mount-
ed. Roy and the Mexican watched
her ride off.
"That's clang funny, Mescal," said
Roy. "Who do you suppose did it?"
The Mexican's eyes gleamed for a
moment, then were quietly veiled. He
shrugged.
"Some waits, Senor, who wishes to
own the ranchero. Me, I do not know.
Strange things happen. Who would
weesh to harm the senorita?"
Roy's eyes narrowed and his fore-
head creased thoughtfully.
"Me, I'm aimin' to find out pronto!
Ain't got any ideas, eh? Well, I have.
You don't like Picos, and neither do
I"
Roy had not noticed the arrival of
the foreman. Picos came on him from
behind.
"Why ain't yuh ridin' the fence,
cowboy?" he snarled. "We ain't pay -
in' yuh to palaver with Mescal."
He turned on the Mexican. "I sent
yuh in here for the brandin' iron. Git
It quick, or I'll use it on you instead
of them calves."
Roy's mouth clamped tight. He had
an insane desire to smash the man's
face. But he merely clenched his fists
and walked back to his horse.
Several days later, Sarah called Roy
into the ranch house one afternoon.
Picos and Gimp were out riding the
range. The Mexican was on an errand
to town for the cook,
"I've got to ride over to thea Crossed
H, Roy," said Sarah. "They've got.
some yearlings that I'm figuring on
buying. Mr. Allen is due here from
town this afternoon to collect for a
feed bill. Here's the bill. You'll find
the money in the safe. This is the
combination."
Before he could answer, she rattled
off the numbers.
"I shore appreciate your puttin' so
much trust in me, ma'am, but I'd
rather you didn't. You see—"
He got no further. There was the
thump of high -heeled boots on the ver-
anda. The foreman entered.

Sarah looked just a little annoyed
at the interruption,, Picea' eyes flick-
ered.
"1 wasn't aimill' to bother. yuh, Mii s
Sarah;" be said smoothly, a"but I
heard yule say that .Alen was comin'
to collect that feed bill this after-
noon. I thought maybe you'd like tub
have ma dike care of it for yuh."
rhe shook her head, "I've told Roy '
to pay hint, Picos; I knew you'd be
heeded on the range all day."
The foreman's face darkened. Then
a sly grin creased his lips.
"Shore now! Maybe that 'lid be bet-
ter. Still, there's a heap of work for
flim, too, ma'am.."
"Mr. Allen won't be Here. until
about four o'clock. Roy can go ahead
with the repair work on the fence un-
til then"
The foreman nodded, and went .out.
They beard the tattoo of his mount:. as "
he headed back for the range.
Knew the Combination
Roy wanted to go on with what he
had started to say, but he found it
hard. He hated sailing under false':'
colors, and Sarah's trusting him with
the combination of the safe made
things even worse. But before he
could speak, she said:
+'I've been very much pleased with.
your willingness, Roy. You've, done
every job assigned to ,you `without a
murmur." She smiled at -him in a way
that made his heart leap strangely.
"Picos is a hard task -master, .:but I
think he's like that on purpose to try
his men. Picos just wanted to. see if,
you had the stuff in you."
Roy smiled back at her.• "Shucks!
That was nothin', ma'am. A fella has•
to accept all kinds of work on ' a
spread." .
She stood up and drew on her
gloves. "Will you bring Nutter round
for me? I'm late."
A few minutes later, he had the bay
at the veranda, saddled and ready.
Sarah gave him a bright nod and
said jokingly: "Be sure you don't over-
pay
verpay Mr. Alien. Money's pretty scarce
on the Rocking Arrow."
He had a sinking sensation as be
watched her ride away. He had,, not
liked the look in Picos' eyes when
Sarah had told him that he, Roy,
should make the payment to Allen.
He rode back finally to his fence.
Shortly before four o'clock, he re-
turned to the ranch house. When Alien
arrived and presented his bill, Roy
opened the safe, pard him, replaced
the remaining money, and locked the
safe.
Then, he went back to his work.
As. he vanished over the rise, a sur-
reptitious figure approached the ranch
house stealthily. The man crept
across the veranda in his stocking

'`j'on Prize -Winning Definitions
For some reason, there bas been
a, great deal of agitation lately over
what constitutes a "gentleman". Over
in Finland, a newspaper has been
• conducting a competition for the best
definition of a "lady." Here are some
of the prize-winning answers:
One whose behaviour is actuated
less by rigid adherence to formal
rules of etiquette than by genuine re-
gard for the feelings of other people.
A woman whose inward beauty
outshines her outward beauty.
A person of charm , refinement,
..kindliness, and generosity, whose
consideration for others, whether
rich or poor, is her first thought alk -
ways.
One who retains her femininity,
and does not ape man; is courteous,
sympathetic to others less fortunate
than herself, and avoids 'malicious
gossip.
A woman who is instinctively
treated with respect by mel„
.A woman husband admires and
wives trust,
She Blau be a queen of society, or
a poor factory !sand —if she is kind-
ly, courteous, and gentle to all, she

She makes pleasant the paths of
others, even though she herself must
be the carpet on which they tread.

stinctively .love, women respect, and
in whose presenge all men are gentle-
men.

Smallest Lobster
Being Preserved
Summerside, P.E.I.—The smallest
lobster ever caught in a trap in the
feet, pushed open the door, and closed
it silently after him.
With expert fingers, he twirled the
dial of the safe, one ear close to the
tumblers. A moment later, the heavy
door swung outward. The package of
money in the safe went inside his
coat. • The safe door swung shut
silently. The lock clicked.
The man peered cautiously out of
the door, then slipped out and, a mo-
ment later, vanished around the cor-
ner of the house. ,

NEW GRAPE PRESERVES
". . .. for our vines have tender
grapes," so sang the Song of Solo-
mon hundreds of years ago. It is
quite as true this year as it was
then. Nature has been kind and
given us a bountiful crop of the most
luscious, tender fruit this season, and
now is the time to capture all the
goodness of ripe grapes and save it
up for winter use. Ontario grapes
were never better or more plentiful
than at the present and there is an
abundance on the market to fill your
preserving requirements if you get
busy right away.
Don't stint your family when it
comes to making grape preserves.
They all lqve grape jelly on hot
toast on cold winter mornings and
the young ones just gobble it up on
bread and butter, for that after-
school snack, so make sure that you
will have plenty on hand to carry
you through the winter,.
In addition to grape jelly and.
, grape butter, it is a good idea to put,
down other kinds of grape preserves.
If you've never tried Grape Marma-
lade and Grape Catsup, here is a new
thrill for you. These two grape pre-
serves will prove highly popular
with everyone.

utes or until skins are tender and
seal at once in sterilized jars.

It was hauled in by Arthur "Moon-

fectly formed creature was two and
one-half incises and it weighed only
three-quarters of an ounce. It was
caught in a trap with other lobsters
the largest of which weighed four
and one-half pounds.
The fact tfiat this midget lobster

measures, food for thought.
