CHAPTER 'VII
SYNOPSIS
Leo Hollister, returning unex-
pectedly from a trip abroad to
the Circle V • ranoh, ,his home from
ciildiboad, is troubled by signs of
neglect. Joey, an old prospector
friend of Matt Blair, Lee's foster
father and owner of,
the ranch,
tells Lee that Matt has killed
himself probably discouraged, by
hard times. The ranch is going
to ruin and; Vtnginira Mart's daugh-
ter, is visiting the Ambers, her
aunt and uncle, in. New York.
Her uncle wants her to sell the
place to Milton Brattish, old asso-
ciate of Whet. Lee.• pers'usadies
Virginia to return to the ranch.
M. .Archer follows her, accom

nobody ever found anything else

"I reckon Bnadas'h was the fust
man...to wake up. He was smart. He
sold out his claim to Don Luis, who
was all excited over the rush an'
thought this was his big chance to

It was • a wonvan's scarf, defiantly
gay and frankly soiled. It had 'evi-

So that was all that his kisses

Joey' was still up and smoking a
lonely pipe in the doorway of his
cabin when a familiar whistled call
came to him. A few moments later
Lee swung - off his horse in front
of him.
"Hello, Joey, I have some news
for you."
"Welt, it's ,time yo'me back, ye
unresponsible young nuisance!"
.All Joey's anxious loneliness
showed in those scolding words. A
strong brown hand came down on
his shoulder in •an affectionate grip.
"You're 'a good scout, Joey. Don't
you get • any notion that I'd! sneak
off wi-thout you. We're partners,
and we're •going• to stick together.

they pulled him out they found he'd
never walk again. By that time he
knowed that there wasn't -any gold

mentioned Bradusth's name again,
but for the rest of his life he set;

"But Brattish never come. 'Matt
was prosperous then, an' he got Don
I.us to sell ., back Bradish's claim
to `shim. He said it bottled up his'
land, or some such 'foolishness."

Lee' was leaning back against the
cabin, meditative and quiet, He had
pur'pos'ely started the • flow of Joey's
reminiscence and had listened. Slate
ty Gama had boasted drunkenly that
a certain ,,big • man would give . him

"Put 'em up!"
Lee shot forward .like a released

cabin, a thud and a s -mothered curse,
the sound of grunts and writhing
bodies. ..

from Curly that Lawler had abrupt-

The warmth vanished.

amusing angle. Recently he deli -ver -

it in his well. Next clay th•e well was
empty, but the well of a neighbor,
who had also been waterless, was full
