Ken Hobart had been much too pre- occupied With. the responsibilities of his job as •Don Jail 's general man- ager to waste any time speculating on his employer's affaires de coeur. When Roberta, Hobart had instantly decided Roberta took stock of the situation, that she was the sort of female no man could afford to take to wife, being much too skittish for the obligations of the married state in districts where the phrase "until death us do part" still is taken seriously. He knew Dong' Jaime Miguel Higuenes, so it never occurred to him that the latter would permit himself to fall in love with his guest; and in the brief contacts with Roberta it had seemed to him that Don Jaime would be the last man in the world she might be expected to fall in love with. Robbie's visit to him and the confi- dential information revealed by that young eavesdropper had first amused and then interested Hobart. Robbie was furious at Roberta for her ap- parent failure to appreciate his be- loved Jimmy and was for going to her and chiding her about it. Hastily Kan Hobart vetoed that procedure, but promised Robbie to look into the mat- ter and see if something couldn't be done about it. Well, he had done something, nor had he been too particular as to the means employed for its accomplish- ment. To Mr. Hobart's direct way of thinking, this charming guest at Valle Verde had demonstrated that she was not, after all, a heartless society girl. He had found her weeping in terror and grief because, forsooth, she had an idea Don Jaime might presently be killed. Many years as a Texas Ran- ger had convinced Ken Hobart that the prospects of Don Jaime's demise were far from nebulous; consequently he had to take those tears seriously. There was going toabe a fight. No doubt about that. And somebody usu- ally got hurt in such fights. So Ken Hobart hadthoughti k- plants, The bees which mix the pol- len are no respectors of color, and when they get through with sweet peas, for instance, they have probably mixed things up so much that weakly colored blooms are sure to result.

"There were twenty herders with the band an hour ago," the girl re- ported. "Don Jaime counted then]. There doesn't appear to be that many now." Hobart swept the scene with his binoculars. "Ten! Half the gang went ahead to pre-empt the water, and Don Jaime walked into them. He's alive and kicking, though. If he were not, there wouldn't be any shooting. And Julio hasn't got there yet. Well, he'll be careful. He'll probably come in from the rear and help the boss out. I wish I knew whether Jaime is in 'she old corral or at the water -hole. Smokeless powder, you see. One cannot tell. But the sheep move forward! That indicates confidence. Yes, Dingle has the water!" "Then Don Jaime's fighting ten of them." "Looks that way. He must be in the old corral, because he wouldn't 'last a minute in the open. The corral is boarded close and the light is fail- =ing. If he keeps moving he will not be too easy to hit." Julio rode out into the open a quar- ter of a mile south of them. Instantly Hobart pulled his rifle, sighted care- fully and threw up the dirt in front of the boy to attract his attention.

Riding along the skyline she could very readily be mistaken for a ]man—and such mistakes, in the im- pending circumstances, might reason- ably be fatal! It was incumbent upon, him, therefore, to catch up with her, to guard her approach to that 71d branding corral in the valley, to masse her take every advantage of the gound, to scout the territory for her. Also, a -disturbing thought had oc- curred to him. What if Dingle had decided to snake sure of the water for the sheep by taking possession of the water -hole before Don Jaime could get there? Of course, it was unbe- lievable that the latter would ride up to the water -hole before inakli.g a reconnaissance. On the other hand, was Don Jaime's mind completely cn the task in hand? Was it not probable that thoughts of a sentimental nature might lull him into indiscretion- Ver- ily, Ken Hobart could take no chances. There was immediate need of haste,. and he hastened; and as he galloped along the backbone of the ridge he was sickeningly aware that he was not the• only one who was hastening. There was Don Jaime, to begins with, hurrying to get to the water - hole and consolidate his position. After him eame his reinforcements -- the devoted Julio.
