"Yon area man." Once back at his cabin after leaving Wetberford„ Cavanagh set himself to .00king some food, to take back with him to the peak. He brought in hie nerd: horse and burdened him with PIMP outfit and Utensils and extra slot hing. He filled his- pockets 'with 'such medicines as he pawned, and zzo at last. just as night was falitngt he aarted`back over his difficult trail. Wetherford met him at the door, longer the poor old tramp, but a priest, "tie who has devoted himself to Cbriat's service. "How is he?" asked the ranger. - "Delirious." replied the herder, "I've 'led -to hold him to his bed. I'm -glad • meve come. It's lonesome up here, come too ierr.

Poor devil, he don't know what :o think of It all." Ross did as Wetherford commanded - elm to do and withdrew a little 'way down the slope and without putting up his tent rolled himself in his blan- &tee etui went to sleep. •The ranger's first duty in the morn- ing was to feed the faithful collie and to send him forth with the flock. His next was to Imitd a fire and cook some breakfast for Wetherford, and as ,.he Out it down beside the tentdoor he heard the wild pleedIng of the Basque, who was struggling vit.h his nurse, doubtless in the belief that he was beingkept a prisoner. Only a few words- like "go home" and "sheep" were intelligible to either the nurse or the ranger. . Cavanagh' waited till a silence canoe, then called softly, "Here's yonr break- fast, Wetherford." -Move away," retorted the man within. ."Keep your distance." Ross walked away a little space, and Wetherford came to the door. "The dago is sure sick. There's no two ways about that. How far is it to the. nearest doctor?" "I could reach one by phone from the Kettle ranch, about twenty miles below here." "If he don't- get better today I reck- on we'll have to have a doctor." He looked so white and old that Cava-, nagh said: "You need rest. Now, I think I've had the smallpox. I know I've 'been vaccinated, and if you go to bed" - "If you're saying all that preliminary to offering to come in here you're wasting your breath. I don't intend to let you come any- nearhr than you are. There is work for you to do, Be- sides, there's my -girl: You're detailed to look after her." _ "Would a doctor come?" asked Ross quite huskily, moved by Wetherford's words. "It's a tiard climb. Would they think the dago worth it?" Wetherford's face darkened with a look of doubt. "it is a hard trip for a city man, but maybe he would come for you -for the government." "I doubt it, even if I were to offer my next month's salary as a fee. These hills are very remote to the townsfplk and one dago more or less of no importance. but I'll see what I can do." Ross was really .more concerned for Wetherford himself than for the Basque. "If the fever is something malignant we must have medical aid," he said and went slowly back to -his' own camp to ponder his puzzling prob- lem. One thing could certainly be done, and that was to inform Gregg and Murphy of their herder's illness. Sure- i,y they .weuld come to the rescue of the collie and his flock. To reach a telephone involved either a ride over into Deer Creek or a return to the Fork. He was tempted to ride_ all the way to the Fork, for to do so would permit another meeting with Lee. But to do this. would require many hours ;freer, and half a day's delay might peove fatal to the Basque, and, be- a.les, each hour of, loneliness and tell rend e red Wetherford just so Mucli- . more -open to the ,deadly attack of the tiketrite.

It was not an ordinary campfire, and the ranger's heart, quickened. "Another eheep -herder has been driven out and his tent and provisions burned!" he ex- claimed wrathfully. His horse snorted and shied as he rode nearer, and then a shudder passed through the ranger's heart as he per- ceived in the edge of the smoldering 'embers a boot heel and then -a charred hand! In the dpctoke of that fire was the reek of human flesh. For a long time the ranger sat on his horse, peering down into tbo, ashes until at last it became evident to his eyes that at leapt two sheep herders had been sacrifi `ed on the cattleman's altar of hate and greed. ' All about on 4ie sod the story was written all too ilain. V Two men, pos- dibly three, had 1een murdered, cut to pieces and burnel not many hours be- fore.

The rangersic ened as the bloody tale unfolded ranger, f before him. Then a fierce hate iof uch warfare flamed In his heart. Co Id this enormity be' committed under any other civilized flag? Would any ether government in- terrhingle so foolishly, so childishly, its state and federal authority as to per- mit such diabollsn ? In his horror, hi sense of revolt, he cursed the state If which he was a. citizen. He woul I have resigned his commission at the moment, so intense was his resentmen of the supine, care- less, jovial, shatter' government under which he was se ing. "By the Lord," he breathed, with solemn intensity, "if this does not shame the .people of this state into revolt, if these fiends are not hound- ed and Irtmg, I will myself harry them. I cannot live and do my duty here un- less this /crime is avenged by law!' Chilled, shaking and numb, he set spurs to- his horse and rode furiously down the trail toward the nearest town, so eager to spread the alarm that he could scarcely breathe a deep breath. On the steep slopes he was forced to walk, and' his horse led so badly that his agony of impatience was deepened. He bad a vision of the murderers riding rast into far coun- tries. Each hour made their- appre- hension progressively the more diffi- cult. "Who were they " be asked himself again and again. 'What kind of man' did this thing? W s the leader a man likce Ballard?

Strangely beautiful and very subtle was the vibrant stir of that wire as it conveyed back to his ear the little sigh with which she made answer to his plea. He took his way upward in a mood which was meditative, but no longer bitter. CHAPTER XV. SHADOWS ON THE KIM HE decision which Cavanagh made between love and duty distinguished the officer 'from the man, the soldier from the dvilian. He did not hesitate to act, and yet he suffered a mental conflict as he rode back toward the scene .of that inhuman sacrifice on the altar of greed. "It will be hours before any part of the sheriff's posse, can reach the falls, even though they take to the swiftest motors, and then other long hours must Intervene before I can ride down to her. Yes, at least a day -and a night must drag their slow course before I can hope to be of service to her." And the thought drew a groan of anxiety. from him. At such moments of mental stress the trail is a torture and the mountain side an inexorable barrier. Halfway to the hills he was inter- cepted by an old man who was at work on an irrigating ditch beside the , road. He seemed very nervous and very inquisitive, and as he questioned the ranger his eyes were like those of .a dog that fears his V master's band. Ross wondered about this afterward, but at the moment his mind was busy with the significance of this V patient toiler with a spade. He was a prophet- ic figure In the most picturesque and sterile land of the stockman. "Here, within twenty miles of this peaceful fruit grower," he said, "is the crown- .ing infamy of the freebooting cowboy." He wondered as he rode on whether the papers of the state would make a jest of this deed. "Will this be made the theme for caustic comment in the eastern press_ for a day and then be forgotten?" As his hot blood cooled he lost faith en even this sacrifice. Could anything change the leopard west into the tame- ness and serenity of the ort? "No," he decided; "nothing but death will do that This generation, these fierce and bloody hearts, must die. Only in that way can the tradition of violence be overcome and a new state reared." At the foot of V the toilsome, upward winding trail be dismounted and led his weary horse. Over his head and about halfway to the first hilltop lay a roof of fleecy vapor. faint purple BAD BLOOD Is The Cause of Boils and Pimples.

' V • . His dnicei filled with emotion; touch- ed Redfield, and he said, "Can't I go to the relieteof the herder?" "No; yob must not think ,of it You are a man with a family. But if you can find any one who has had the smallpox send dilin up. The old herder who in nursingthe patient is not strong and may drop at any moment. Then ire up to me." The men cable back to the campfire conversing in low tones, some of them cursing in tones of awe. One or two of them were small farmers from Deer Creek, recent corners to the state, or men with bunches of milk dows, and to them this deed was advesoine. The sheriff followed,, saying: :i"Well. there's nothing to do but waif till morning. The rest of you men better go 'home. YOU can't he of any use here." For more than three bourn the sher- iff and Redfield sat with the ranger, waiting for daylight, and during this tire time the tire of every man in the re- gion was ought up and discussed. Among others, Ross mentioned the old man in the ditch. "He wouldn't hurt a bumblebee," de dared the sheriff. "He's. got a bunch of cattle, but he's the mildest old man in the state. He's the last rancher in the country to even stand for such work. What made you mention him?" "I passed him as I was riding back," replied Cavanagh, "and he had a scared look in his eyes." The sheriff grunted. "You imagined all that The old chap always has a kind of meek look." It was nearly noon of a glorious day as Cavanagh, very tired and very hun- gry, rode up to the sheep herder's tent Wetherford was sitting in the sun 6t1mly smoking his pipe, the sheep were feeding not far away, attended by the dog, and an air of peace covered his sunlit rocky world. - "How is the Basque?" asked the ranger. • Wetherford pointed upward. "All over." . "Then Vit wasn't smallpox?" - "I reckon that's what it was; it sure was fierce. I judge it's a case of Injun burial -no ceremony -right here in the rocks. I'll let you dig the hole (I'm just about all In), but mind you keep to the windward all the time. I don't want you spotted." Cavanagh understood the V necessity for these precautions, but first of all came his own need of food and rest. Turning his tired horse to grass, he stretchedV himself along a- grassy, sun- ny cranny between the rocks and there ate and afterward slept, while all about him the lambs called and the conies whined. He was awakened by a pebble tossed upon him, and when he arose, stiff and sore, but feeling stronger and in bet- ter temper, the seri was wearing low. Setting to work at his task, he threw the loose rockOutof a hollow in the leilge near IV, and to this rude sepul- cher Wetherford dragged the dead man, refusing all aid, and there piled a cairn of rocks above his grave. The ranger took a hand at the Vend and rolled some huge bowlders upon 1 the grave to insure the wolves' defeat • "Now burn the bedding," he com- manded. "Tile whole camp has got to gm and your clothing, too, after we ,- get down the hill." "What will we do with the sheep?' "Drive them over the. divide and leave them." • All these things Wetherford did, and, leaving the camp in ashes behind him, Cavanagh drove the sheep before him on his homeward way. As night fell the dog, at hii command, rounded them up and put them to bed, and the men went on down the V valley, leaving the brave brute on guard, pathetic fig- ure of faithful guardianship.

Through this he must pass, and it sym- bolized to him the line -of demarcation between the V plain and the mountain, between order and violence. Slowly he led his horse along the mountain side, grasping with eager. de- sire at _every V changing aspect -of the marvelous mountain scene. It was in- finitely more gorgeous, more compel- ling, than his moonliant experience the night before. As he led his horse out upon a pro- jecting point of rocky ledge to rest his love for the range came back upon him with such power, that tears misted his eyes and his throat ached. "Where' else will I find such scenes at this?" he asked himself. "Where in all the lowlands could such splendors shine? How can -1 leave this high world in which these wonders come and go? I will not! Here will I bring my bride and build my bathe. This- is my world." But the mist grew gray, the aureole of fire faded, the sun went down be- hind the hills', an the chill of evening deepened on the trail, and tie he .re approached the scene of man's inhu- manity to man the thought of camping there beside those charred limbs nail- ed for heroic resolution. He was hun- gry, too, and as the air pinched he shivered. "At the best the sheriff cannot reach here •before midnight," he said; and settled down to his unsought, e netting vigil. . His one relief lay in the me alicom- . position of a long letter to ir- ginia, whose life at that moment was a comfort to him. "If such purity, such sweetness, can- come from vio- lence and vulgarity then surely a new and splendid state can rise even out of the ashes of these murdered men. Perhaps this is the end of the old," he mused, "perhaps this is the begin- ning of the new," and as he pondered the last faint crimson died out of the west. "So must the hate and violence die out of America," he said, "leaving the clear, sweet air of liberty behind." • He was near to the poet at the mo- ment, for be was also.the I6ver. His allegiance to the great •republic stood the test. His faith in democracy was shaken, but not destroyed. "I will wait," he decided. "This shall be the sign. If this deed goes unavenged then will I put off my badge and my uniform and go back to the land where for a hundred years at least such deeds as these have been impossible." He built a fire as night fell to serve both as a beacon and as a defense against the cold. He felt himself weirdly remote in this vigil. From his -far height he looked abroad upon the, tumbled plain as if upon an ocean dimly perceptible, yet august. "At this moment," he said, "curious V and per- haps guilty eyes are wondering what my spark of firelight may mean." His mind went again and again to that! tall old man in the ditch. What was. the meaning of his scared and sorrowful glance? Why should one so peacefully employed at such a time and in such a place weir the look of a hunted' deer? Wbat meant the tre- mor in his voice? Was it V possible that one so gentle should have taken part in this deed? "Preposterous suspicion, and yet he had a guilty look." At last, far in the night, he heard the snort of a horse and the sound of voices. The law (such as it was) was creeping up the mountain side in the person of the sheriff of Chauvenet county and was about to relieve the ranger from his painful responsibility as guardian of the dead. At last V he came, this officer of the law, attended (like V a •Cheyenne- chief) by a dozen lesser warriors of various conditions and kind, but among them -indeed, second only to the sheriff - was Hugh Redfield, the forest super- visor, hot and eager with haste. As they rode up to the fire the officer called out: "Howdy, ranger? How about it?" Ross stated briefly, succinctly, what he had discovered, and as he talked other riders came up the hill and gath- 'VA) — 1Pwal" CRIPPLED ISYI RHEUMATISM 434 N.Y. Ave, 'Whiting, Ind. is.u.20tli.
