ake new and quite different ar-
angements, for moving on.
The towns one hotel received

treet. A ,horse was located and

oungran•cher in town for the day.
Long bef,ore. the train that he had
eft was whistling , for Saunders Sta.-
ion, Lee Hollister was 011 his, way.
He rode 'easily, with the grace of
;mgpustom, picking up familiar
andinarks and .thiniting that the old
andy waste looked good after
early two. years of wandering, even
o the clumps of last year's 'tumble-
eed, wind -bunched in the bottom, of
draw.
By .late afternoon!. he. had left the
iigh desert ' for the twilight o•f a
arrow • canyon whose ragged walls
()rimed Six hundred feet above the
anyon: fiver. He camped there for
he eight. .
In the morning- he ' started oit
gain, up a thread of trail that
tugged the canon wall., out again
n an open, ,flat, and over a ridge
"here the cedar and pinion gave,
ivla.y to slim -vine.
The far side of the -ridge slanted
down to a tiny mountain .-meadow.
There Was water there, and he dis-
,ounted, eased the cinches 'to rest
is horse and set about to appease a'
lealthy_tunger.Moving easily and
1ightly, he Merged into his aurrourid-
ngs as naturally as 'the tall straight
pines back of him or the brown
needle carpet beneath. He was tall
and straight himself, a „full six feet
of smoothly co-ordinated muscle,
with a keenly modeled profile, black
eyes that saW. much and betrayed
little, and a lean young face that sun
and wind •had finished in a warm
brown, •

But he had Chosen to errive froro

It was good to be back again, to

Good 'old Matt. Virginia would be

like the straprped-off masts of a
wrecked ship. Lee's sharpened glance
flicked towardthe valley again. Pawn
there he 'had seen a small ,puneh of
cattle, ,perhaps fifty or siXty. That'
also was unusual. • The Circle V cat-
tle always ranged; e hilia at this
time of the yea,r. •
Lee wheeled his 1 oree abruptly; re="
traced Ids way for a short distance.
and started zigzagging skswe-ward.,
The slope dropped abruptly, with
'stamp three and jutting angles, arid
..tales that sled beneath' Ns horse's,
feet. Over to the right a black ' hole
yaivned. That was the mouth of the
old Bonanza mine, Jong since aban-
dioned., where one lucky gold pocket
had given Matt Blair and his partner
their first start.. and had brought
hordes ;of other men' to stake claims.
That hillside had echoed once to
the soiind of voices, the blOWs of
picks and ease' melee boom of blast-
ing, as men burrowed feverishly for
the gold that was never found again.
Matt owned it all now, not so
much for its value—it wouldn't have
brought twenty cents an acre -•-but
because it was a relic of the old days.
The old Bonanza was behind Lee,
the last steep, turn of the trail
brought him info...a stuall gorge. Lee
suddenly gave a Scarcely audible
grunt.
A man vas coming toward him,
riding elosp . to the. fringe of cedar,
asif keeping out of view. He was
a big, loosely built man, with a long,
wolfish Lace and bulky Shoulders.
His stare of ,recognition carried a
swift surprise, and a flare of some-
thing elee, quickly hidden Then, be
rode forward with a grin, which
show -ed discolored teeth.
"Hello, Lee. You lsack?"
"Looka, like tt. Hello, 'Slanty."
The reply was civil, and no more.
Ie Hollister did not like Slanty
Game and Sleety knew it. He was
shifty and evasive, as oblique in his
methods as in his name. A good
worker when he wanted to bp, he
was too lazy and quarrelsicrine, to
h.old' any job long, and usually
shifted for himself in a cabin back
in the hills.
' Lee's eyes dwelt on him with an.
impersonal regard.
"Biding for the Circle V?"
"Not for that outfit." The grin
became a' sneer. "I'm hirin, other
folks to work for me. Want a job?" •
The laconic answer ignored
Stanty's evident desire to be offen-
sive and betrayed 'not the slightest
interest in Slanty's rise in life.
Slanty's ,eyes took on malevolence..
"I'm lookinf for strays," he ex-:
.plained, with sly insolenoe. "Been

"Better niot took • in, the wrong

Black eyes and greemish ones, met
and measured Each ,other. The green-
ish ones Wavered.
•
"Jest as touchy as ever, ain't yet,
Lee,? Wei, I'll take yore word for
it, this time. SO long; I've got work
to do."
He wheeled with a savage rake of
spurs; and wassoff. •
