I CHAPTER VII The slanting rays. of a dying sun �ell across the valley, throwing long ;hadows from each ranch -house. Cold' vas snapping in the air, prophesying .Frost in the coulees. The wind had fropped and the tiny trail of smoke -ose unbent from the ranch -house. From the bunk -house drifted the un- �ertain music ,of an &bused inouth- )rgan, and occasionally a half-word- �d ,song in a voice impatient at the ;ardiness of the indifferent musician. ,From a distant corral came, a plain- ;ive bawling, falling at times to a .-entle moo. Joe Stanton slouched from the ' ,anch-house and stood listening, hands )n hips; and presently his brother joined him. "Hiell of a row for respectable rancliers!" laughed Jim bitterly. The other shrugger his shoulders ind turned back to the open door. "Better be moving." He pulled out i large silver watch. "We've a good I ,bree hours of riding." They reappeared with short jackets Dver their vests and rifles across their shouldeTS, and silently entered the �tables. A 'big, ungainly figure 3tretcbed on the bare ground before the bunk -house rolled lazily over and i pair of unsteady eyes followed them through the stable door. The two brothers, leading out their horsesi. mounted and rode to the ranch -house. At a wh.istle the door opened and Mira appeared with the four wolf- hounds on leasb. "Domml Do,wn!" Joe whistled impatiently and the hounds, released, bounded about the horse. "Back, Neptunel Back Junol" Two -of the dog wbimpered, and trotted slowly back to Mira, where they stood in haughty resignation, watching their fortunate fellows gam- bolling qver the rise after the disup- pea-ring horsemen. The girl reached down and fondled their ears speaking to them.in cooing, gentle Voice. Up on the level of the prairie one of the brothers buttoned[ his jacket more closely about his, neck. "Looks as if it might be June" be muttered, pointing -to a k of &eey cloud close to the horizon. "Like our luck to have a.rains,torm on a big niglit" The other shiver0l. "Feel's like April to me. I don't know whato-s getting into me these nights. I get the shudders. Must ,be getting scar- h n hed out at -the oxetted dog that had leapeA against his 19g.
