CHAPTER V
_.$XNOPSIs .
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? Uncle Ellis, perhaps, who
.engaged 'h.irh..„for me, and who has
made a home for me for years and
years! Or. jit•a,•d'isih, who has
milliees, and could have Lis 'choice
"Never!” the wh tspered . against
her kips'. "Honey . .
"Oh, let me go!"
The first impulse to yield brought
a blazing reaction. 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

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!"

eyes, felt herself swept to him In

The dark head turned -,slightly..
"They'4se born grubliners, Joey, if
I know the breed. I'd like to see

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.
I'n another second he would be
kissing her. Lee this afternoon,
Stanley this' evening . . . She could
not stand it.
"That's sweet. of you, Stan." She
mioved a little,• • just out of reach.
"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

a eWlers to two questions. Fnlslt,;'
what do you want to do most? See -
load, what do you believe you can,. -do
best? .
What you want to do is importent
because it is a guide to your inter-
ests: and your interests, say the ex-
perts, have quite as much, to do with
job -success as such more obvious fac-
tors) as education ands training.
What do you do when you do What
you like? What NYould yeti rather do
than eat?
The answer to these questions in-
dicates a "leading:" and a leading is
much too valuable and significant a
thing to be neglected or ignored: It
is a straight tire to your own truest
and deepest self. And ,When that'tip
points to an activity, it is as strong
and reliable an indication as you
could ask as to the nature of the
work that is likely to bring you 'the:

therefore, you are most likely to -suc-

One clue to the answer is to be
found in your school records.
Which of your studies did you like
bestL--find easiest? In which did you
-consistently get the highest marks?
If, in school, you"'r'egulaely took
prizes in mathematics, what 'more
logical to assume than that, on the
job, you might take prizes in lines of
work where figures, are important—
bookkeeping, accounting, statistics,
auditing, actuarial work. You , might
even wind up as • the c5oiitroller or
