Leo Hollister,. returning 'unex- peotedly from a trip abroad to the Circle V. ranch, his home'from Childhood,—le troubled by signs o1 neglect. Joey, en old prospector friend of Matt Hlair, Lee's foster father .and owner of the ranch, tells Lee that Matt ,has killed .himself probably discouraged). by herd times. The ranch is going to ruin under Lawler, manager appointed by Matt's daughter Vir- ginia, who is staying in New York with her aunt and uncle, the Archers. Lee is worried when he sees Sleety Gano,- a trouble maker, now manager of the old Ceballos place, hanging around the Circle V. He hu) -les east and urges Virginia to et, home. Cancelling an engagement win young Stanley Brattish, she thur- ries west. "The bossy. was back at the Chicle V. The word was passed along on the• -.part of the old bands, at least, with reviving pride and • affectionate grins. This might mot be a boss with a very practical knowledge of the business ,of raising beef cattle, but behind her, unobtrusive, without a shadow of • authority yet always on, strand, was a Young man . who knew a great deal about, ranches and •stili more about thus' one, and Who 'had 'a• fist 'like a steam hammer, a habit of turning up in unexpected places, and a calm ,but inquisitive black eye. Virginia, feeling 'her bewildered anti half resentful way along new paths, nevertheless knew moments when something stirred her unex- pec:ediy: The sudden glimpse of a vista through a notch in, the hills, the sight of wide lands that ..were hers in spite of their burdens, of cat- tle. bearing her' own brand. • Theo the thrill would vanish before some discouraging detail, evidences of neg- lect or carelessness, such as a line of fence out of repair, ar an untouch- ed clearing which Should -have pro- duced several crops of alfalfa: "There's no excuse for such things.. You want to jump him hard." "You always want , .me to jump people hard," _she protested impa- tiently. "It isn'tl a crime, Lee. Just a few, strands of wire overlooked for e dray or :two, and a field that used to have something plan•ted_..•.•in it before he came. How was he to know?" "It's his; business..to know." He had dismounted and was' criti- cally inspecting posts and sagging wires. "In work like this,"- Lee went on, frowning. "the man who fails to meet such things On the jump' • is 'either asleep on' the nole or—" "Or what?" she demanded as ire paused, "Or be has an interest in letting things run down," he -finished crisply. "That's' ridiculous!" she retorted indignantly. "What possible Interest. could Lawler have in doing that? He couldn't .get the ranch himself, and who would make it worth his while?

Ste pulled her- self free. "You take too much, for granted," she said coldly. "I hate being pawed." The warmth went out of Lee's face like something wiped from a slate; his; abands dropped; he 'stood nieking down at her, ,tight-lipped. "Oh, certainly, if that's the, way you look at It." The ride home Was a silent one, tl.awler met them as they came into the VaIl'ey of the Sun. He was grin- "Been- 'lookin all over for ye, Miss Blair. Same company's come, yore aunt and a young gentleman. They've been here three hours." Stanley Bradish Chad already found a mount and was riding toward tt,em. "Thanks, Lawler." Virginia turned ,coolly to Lee. "It Won't be neces- sary for you to come so far out of your way. I'•il ride back with Mr. Bradish:" "It isn't out of my "*ay," he said lacer scally. 'I,'m spending the night with Joey." He . ride on with Iter to meet Stanley Braddsh, whose," father want- ed the Circle V and who himself prob- ably wanted something worth still mere to Lee Hollister. Each man recognized the other; and neither gave the faintest indication of it. Once more, and this time conscious- ly, the glance that passed between them was a measuring of power. * * * There was little time. now 'for Vir- ginia to let icer thoughts dwell on Lee. Sh•e had two unannounced guests to 'entertain, both city li'wel- lers of luxurious•' tastes. Mrs. Archer had retired exhausted to her room. Virginia excused • herself to Stanley and found her. "Darling; this is lovely! But why didn't you send word, and let me Meet you?" "I wanted to surprise you, dear. It was a silly notion, of course." Mrs. Archer returned the warm young kiss and smiled wanly. "I hope you don't mind my bringing Stanley this way, but I couldn't very well object when he wanted to come." • "Oh, no, of course not." Virginia smiled brightly. She paused, and the rest came jerkily, "Father was going to build• a new ranch house as 'soon as I came back. And I never came. The 'plans are in his desk still." Mrs. Archer looked frightened. She had not heard that hard sound in Virginia's voice since the first days after Matt Blair'g death. "Oh, but you were practically on the way 'home," she said soothingly. "And -1'm sure • we shall be very comfortable here. •Stanley has had one of his cars shipped out. Really if you weren't going to sell, I should insist an your getting a new one." • Virginia did not • answer immedi- ately: . •... • "O h, yes, I suppose I s•ball sell," she ,said, slowly. "It .would be fool- isth not to. But I'd rather not talk abetit, if you don't mind." • Mn -Archer flashed an, alarmed glance at her niece's face.. "Of course," - she said' hurriedly, "it's your property and I don't want to seem insistent; but if you . delay Each man recognized the" other, and neither gave the faintest AUCTIONEERS I indication o- f it.

' That was where the clash in- evitably came. They were not al- ways arguing, There were long rides together when there was no it trusion of cattle and fences. They stood one afternoon on ,,the crest of, a ridge. from which a wide panorama spread out. Lee was un- usually quiet that day. When they had dismounted he pointed out dots of color that looked like paint npl gaited, "Circle V cattle. They're all over these hillsides' and out on that flat, all with your brand on them, wait- ing to help feed. the world. That's Worth something, isn't it?" 'Yes, I suppose so." There was no answering lift of enthusiasm in her voice. "Oh, it's no use, Lee. Can't you see that? It isn't. in my blood the way it is in yours." "There's nothing I wouldn't do to thelp, Virginia, if that's' any use to you." "Butt you'll never make a ranch woman of me. Never. Better give me up as a bad lot, Lee." . '"r11 never give you up!"

Joey nodded thoughtfully. Silence fell between them again. * * •s • "You're not sore with me for trailing along this way, are you?" "Don't be silly." Virginia laughed and half shrugged as Stanley came out to where she stood' on the veranda tin starlight, leaking across the shadowy valley. "Wei,, I just wondered. You've been au, quiet. Rather withdrawn, you know." He bent a flushed gace toward her. "You ran away from me, Vee. Don't -you' know that I'd follow wou anywhere?" His voice had dropped to a whis- per.

"But -°don't let's talk about it tonight, will you?" * * * For Lee and for Joey also, the serpent had entered the garden. Tthere were no more long rides, nor quiet evenings by . Joey's fire. Vir- ginia rode with Stanley Bradtls'h now, showing him' aver the range, taking him deep into the - hills by trails that Lee had Shown her. '.On the third day after his 'arrival he and Virginia went. down to Saun- ders and came back'' with a long, rakish, can, smoke grey, with his -monogram in scarlet on the 'dooms. After that they were seldom home. At the end of the thi! d week more guests arrived, friends who had stopped!, off on a .coast-to-coast trip, and lights shone and music came from the ranch house until far- into the night. A newer, gayer life had come to the Miele V, and with one notable . exception, Lee Hollister had no part In it: The exception was the dance (OOzl!tinin :00.6) .

'Oh, yes, there's mixed blood there, Vee, Didn't your father pick him up one one of the reserva- tions? Or was it south on the bor- der?" Thos time Virginia showed, her annoyance.
