THE I'ESTHOL'SE.
CAVANAGH had kept a keen
watch over Wetherford, uud
whcu one ulght the old man
begun to complain of the
ache In his bones his decision was in
stant. "You've got it," he said. "It's up
to us to move down the valley tomor
row." Wetherford protested that he would
us soou die in the hills us in the val
ley. "I don't want Lee Virginia to
know, but if I seem liable to fade out
I'd like I.lze to be told that I didn't
forget her and that I came back to
find out how she was. I hate to be a
nuisance to you, and so I'll go down
the valley if you say so."
As he was ubout to turn in that
night Itoss heard a horse cross I life
bridge and, with intent to warn the
rider of his danger, went to the door
and called out: "Halt! Who's there V"
"A friend," replied the stranger in a
weak voice.
Itoss permitted the visitor to ride up
to the pole. "I can't ask you in," he
explained. "I've a sick man inside.
Who are you, and whut con I do for
you?"
Notwithstanding this warning the
rider dropped from his saddle and
came Into the light which streamed
from the door.
"My name Is Dunn," lie began. "I'm
from Deer Creek."
"I know you," responded the ranger.
"You're that rancher I saw working
In the ditch the day I went to tele
phono, and you've come to tell mo
something ubout that murder."
The other man broke Into a whim
per. "I'm a law abiding man, Mr. Cav
anagh," he began tremulously. "I'vo
always kept the law and never Intend
ed to have anything to do with that
business. I was dragged Into it
against my will. I've come to you bo
cause you're an officer of the federal
luw. You don't belong here. I trust
you. You represent the president, and
I want to tell you what 1 know, only
I want you to promise not to bring me
Into it. I'm a muii with a family, and
I can't bear to have them know the
truth."
There were deep agitation and com
plete sincerity lu the rancher's choked
and hesitant utterance, nnd CavanngU
turned cold with a premonition of what
he was about to disclose. "1 am not
an officer of the law, Mr. Dunn, not in
the seuso you mean, but I will respect
your wishes."
"I know that you are not an olllcer
of the county law, but you're not a
cattleman. It Is your business to keep
the peace In the wild country, and you
do it Everybody knows that. Hut I
can't trust the ollicers of this country;
they're all nfruld of the cowboys. You
uro not nfruld, and you represent the
United States, and I'll tell you. 1 can't
bear It any longer!" lie walled. "I
must toll somebody. 1 can't sleep, and
I can't cut. I've been like a man In
a nightmare ever since. I hud no hand
In tho killing I didn't even see It done
but I knew it wns going to happen
I saw tho committee appointed. The
meeting tluit derided It was held in
my barn, but I didn't know what I hey
Intended to do. You believe inc. don't
you?" He peered up at Cavanagh with
White face and wild eyes. "I'm over
seventy years of age, Mr. ('avanagh.
and I've been u luw abiding citizen all
my life."
Ills mind, shattered by the weight of
his ghastly secret, was In confusion,
aud, perceiving this, Carunagh begun
to question him gently. One by one
ho procured the names of those who
voted to "deal with" the herders. One
by one bo obtained also the list of
those named on "the committee of re-

nirrnuLV.
prlsal," and as the broken man deliv
ered himself of these accusing facts
be grew calmer. "I didn't know I
couldn't believe tluit the men on Unit
committee could chop and burn" Ills
Utteruuco failed him ugaln, and he fell
silent abruptly.
"They must have been drunk mud
drunk," retorted Cnvanngh. "And yet
Who would believe that even drink
could Inflame white men to such devil's
work? When did you Urst know whut
had been done?"
"That night after It was done one of
the men, my neighbor, who was drawn
on the committee, came to my house
and asked me to give hint a bed. lie
was afraid to go home. 'I can't face
my wife and children,' he said. He
told me what he'd seen, and then
when I remembered that It had nil
been decided in my stable and the
committee appointed there I begun to
tremble. You believe I'm telling the
truth, don't you?" he again asked, with
piteous accent.
"Yes, I believe you. You must tell
this story to the Judge. It will end
the reign of the cattlemen."
"Oh. no; I can't do that."
"To.i must do that. It is your duty
as a Christian man and citizen.
"No, no; I'll stay and help you I'll
do anything but that. I'm afraid to
tell whut I know. They would burn
me alive. I'm not a western man
I've never been In a criminal court
don't belong to this wild country.
came out here bncuu.se my daughter is
not strong, and now"- He broke
down altogether and, leaning against
his horse's side, sobbed pitifully.
Cavanagh. convinced that the old
man's mind wns too deeply affected to
enable lilm to lind I Is way buck over
the rough trail that night, spoke to
him gently. "I'll get you something to
eat." lie said. "Sit down here and
rest and compose yoursi If."
Wetherford tinned a wild eye on the
ranger as he re-entered. "Who's out
there?" he asked. "Is It the marshal?"
"No; It's only one of the run hr:
from below. He's tired and hungry
nnd I'm going to feed him." Iioss r-
plied, filled with a vivid sense of the
diverse characters of the two i i he
was serving.
Dunn received the food with an eager
hand, and after be had finished his re
freshment Cuvaiingh remarked: "Tb
whole country should be obliged to
you for your visit to me. 1 shall send
your information to Supervisor Red
field." "Don't use my name," he begged.
"Thev will kill mc if they And out
that I have told. We were all sworn
to secrecy, and If I had not seen that
Are, that pile of bodies"
"I know, I know! It horrified me.
It made me doubt humanity," respond
ed Cavanagh. "Wo of the north cry
out against tho south for Its lynchlngs,
but hero under our eyes goes on an
equally horrible display of rnge over
tho mero question of temporary ad
vantage, over tho appropriation of
free grass, which Is a federal resource
something which belongs neither to
one claimant nor to the other, but to
tho people, and should be of value to
the people. Y'ou must bring these men
to punishment."
Dunn could only shiver In Ids horror
and repeat his fear. "They'll kill me
if I do."
Cavanagh at lust said: "Y'ou must
not attempt to ride back tonight. I
can't givo you lodging In the cabin
becauso my patient is sick of small
pox, but you eau camp In the barn till
morning, then' ride straight back to
my friend Iteddeld and tell lilm what
you've told me. He will see that you
are protected. Make your deposition
and leave the country If you are ufruld
to remain."
In the end the rancher promised to
do this, but his tone was that of a bro
ken nnd distraught dotard. All tho
laudniRrks of his life seemed suddenly
shifted.
Meanwhile the sufferings of Weihor
ford were increasing, aud Cavuuagli
was forced to give up all hope of get
ting him down the trail next morn
ing, and when Swenson. the forest
guard from the Sou l h Fork, knocked
at the door to say that lie had been to,
the valley and that the doctor was
coming up with liedlleld ami the dis
trict forester Itoss thanked lilm. but
ordered him to go Into camp across
the river aud to warn everybody to
keep clear of the cabin. "Put your
packages down outside the door," lie
added, "and lake charge of the situa
tion on the outside. I'll take care of
the business Inside."
Wellierford was In great pain, but
the poison of the disease had misled
his ina In. and he no lunger worried
over the possible disclosure of his iden
tity. At times ho lest the sense of his
surroundings and talked of his prison
life or of the long ride northward.
Once ho rose lu his bed to beat off
the wolves which he said were attack
ing his puny.
lie was a piteous figure as lie strug
gled thus, and It needed neither Ills
relationship to I.ee nor Ills bravery in
caring for the ltusque herder to fill
tho ranger's heart with a desire to re
lieve ills suffering. "Perhaps I should
have sent for I.lze at once," lie mused
ns tho light brought out the red sig
natures of the plngite. .
Once tho old man looked up with
wide, dark, unseeing eyes and mur
mured, "I don't seem to know you."
"I'm a friend. My naine Is Cava
nagh." "1 can't place yon," he sadly admit
ted. "I feel pretty bad. If 1 ever get
out of this place I'm going back to the
Fork. I'll get a gold mine; then I'll
go buck and make up for what I.lze
has gone through. I'm afraid to go
back now,"
"All right," Ross soothingly agreed,
"Hut you'll have to keep quiet till you
get over this fever you're suffering
from."
"If I.lze weren't so far away she'd
emtio and nurse me. I'm pretty sick."
Swenson caine back to say that
probably liedlleld and the doctor
would reach the station by noon, and
thereafter, for the reason that Cava-
Hugh expected their coining, the hours
dragged woefully. It was after 1
o'clock before Swenson announced
that two teams were coming with
three men nnd two women In them.
"They'l! lie here in half an hour."
Tlie ranger's heart leaped. Two
women! Could one of them lie l.ee
Virginia? What folly-what sweet,
desperate folly! And the other-she
could not be I.lze, for I.lze was too
feeble to ride so far. "Stop them on
the other side of the bridge," he com
manded. "Don't let them cross the
creek on any pretext."
As he stood hi the door the tint tor
of n handkerchief, the waving of a
hand, made Ills pulse glow and his
eyes grow dim. It was Virginia!
I.lze did not Butter a, kerchief or
wave a hand, but when Swenson sto
ped the carriage at the bridge she said:
"No, you don't! I'm going across. I'm
going to see Hoss, and if he needs help
I lu going lo roll up toy sleeves ana
lake hold."
Cavnnagli saw her advancing, and as
she cume near enough for his voice to
reach her he called out: "Don't come
any closer! Stop, I tell you I His
voice wns stern. "You must not come
a step nearer. Go back across die
dead line and stay there. No one but
the doctor shall enter this door. Now
that's final."
"I want to help!" she protested.
"I know you do, but I won't have It,
This quarantine is real, and it goes!"
"Hut suppose you yourself get sick?"
"We'll cross that bridge when we
get to it. I'm all right so far, and I'll
call for help when I need it."
His tone was Imperative, and she
obeyed, grumbling about his youth and
the value of his life to the service.
"That's till very nice," he replied,
"but I'm lu 11, and I don't Intend to
expose you or any one else to the con
tagion." "I've had It once," she asserted.
He looked at her and smiled In rec
ognition of her subterfuge.
"No matter; you're ailing and might
take it again, so toddle back. It's
mighty good of you and of Lee to
come, but there Isn't a thing you can
do, and here's the doctor," he ndded
as be recognized the young student
who passed for a physician In tho
Fork. He was a beardless youth of
small experience and no great cour
age, and as he approucued with hesi
tant feet he asked:
"Are you sure It's smallpox?"
Cavanagh smiled. "The indications
are all that way. That last Importa
tion of Basques brought It probably
from the steerage of the ship. I'm
told they've had several cases over in
the basin."
"Have you been vaccinated?"
"Yes, when I wns In the army."
"Then you're all right."
"I hope so."
There was a certain comic relief in
this long distance diagnosing of a
'case" by n boy, nnd yet the tragic
fact beneath It all wns that Wether
ford was dying, u broken and dishon
ored husband and father, nnd thnt his
Identity must be concealed from his
wife nnd daughter, who were much
more deeply concerned over the ran
ger thuu over the desperate condition
of his patient. "And this must con
tinue to be so," Cavanagh decided.
And ns he stood there looking toward
the girl's fair figure on the bridge he
came to the tlnul, fixed determination
never to speak one word or mnke a
sign that might lead to the dying
mail's identification. "Of what use is
It?" be asked himself. "Why should
even I.lze be made to suffer? Wether-
ford's poor misspent life Is alreudy
over for her. and for Lee he Is only a
dim memory."
Kedlleld came near enough to see
that the rauger's face, though tired,
showed no sign of Illness and was re
lieved. "Who Is this old heider?" lie
asked. "Hasn't he nuy relatives in
tho country?"
"He came from Texas, so he said
You're not coming in?" he broke off
to say to t lie young physician, whom
I.lze had shamed Into returning to the
cabin.
1 suppose I'll have to," he protest
ed weakly.
I don't see the need of It. The
whole place reeks of the poison, uud
you might carry it uwny with you
Unless you insist on coming in und
are sure you can prevent further con
tagion I shall oppose your entrance.
You are in tho company of others. I
must consider their welfare."
The young fellow was relieved.
"Well, so long as we know what It Is
1 enn prescribe Just as well right
here," he said and gave directions for
the treatment, which the ranger agreed
to carry out.
"I tried to bring n nurse," explained
Hedtleld, "but I couldn't find anybody
but old I.lze who would come."
"I don't blame them," replied Itoss.
"It Isn't a nlco Job, even when you've
got all the conveniences."
His eyes as he spoke were on the
figure of I.ee, who still stood on the
bridge, awed and worshipful, barred of
approach by I.lze. "She shall not
kuow," he silently vowed. "Why put
her through useless suffering nnd
shame? Edward Wetherford's disor
dered life is near its end. To betray
him to his .wife aud daughter would
be but tlie reopening of an old wound."
He was stirred to the center of his
heart by the coming of I.ee Virginia,
so sweet nnd brave and trustful. Ills
stern mood melted ns ho watched her
there waiting, with her face turned
toward him, longing to help. "She
would have come alone if necessary,"
he declared, with a fuller revelation of
the self sacrificing depth of her love,
"and she would come to my side this
moment if I called her."
He went back to his repulsive serv
ice sustained and soothed by tho little
camp of faithful friends on the other
side of the stream.
Durlug oue of his clearest moments
Wetherford repeated bis wish to die a
strauger. "I'm going out like tlie old
time west, a rug of what I once was.
Don't let them know. Put uo name
over me. Just say, 'An old cowpunch
er lies here.' "
Cavanagh's attempt to change his
hopeless touo proved unavailing. En
feebled by his hardships aud his pris
on life, ho had little reserve force upou
which to draw iu tlghtiug such nu en
emy, lie sauk soou ufier this little
speech Into a coma which continued
to bold him lu Its uubrokeu grasp as
ulgtit fell.
Men ut line, seeing uo chance of uid
lug tho ranger, Kedlleld and the for
ester prepared to return, but Lee, re
cu forced by her mother, refused to ac
company thoiu. "1 shall slay here,"
she said, "till ho Is safely out of it
till I know 'that he Is beyond all dan
ger." Kedtield did not urge her to returu
as vigorously as Dalton expected him
10 ao, out wneu lie uuilerstooil me
girl's desire to be near her lover he
took off his hut uud bowed to her.
"Y'ou are entirely lu the right," he
said. "Here is where you belong."
Kediield honored Lize for her sym
pathetic support of her daughter's res
olution and expressed his belief that
Itoss would escape tlie plague. "I feel
that his splendid vigor, combined with
the mountain air. will curry him
through, even if he should prove not
to be immune. I shall run up again
day ufter tomorrow. I shall be very
anxious. Whut u nuisance that the
telephone line Is not extended to this
point. Itoss bus been Insisting on Its
value for months."
I.ee saw the doctor go with some
dismay. Young as he was, he was at
least a reed to cling to lu case the
grisly terror seized upou the ranger.
"Mr. Redfield, can't you send a real
doctor? It seems so horrible to be
left here without Instructions."
The forester, before going, again be
sought Cavanagh not to ubaudon his
work in the forestry service and Inti
mated that at the proper time ad
vancement would be offered him. "The
whole policy Is but beginning," said
he, "and a practical ranger with your
experience and education will prove of
greatest value."
To this Rons made reply: "At the
moment I feel that no promise of ad
vancement could keep me In this coun
try of grafters, poachers and assassins.
I'm weary of it and all it stands for.
However, if I could aid in extending
the supervision of the public ranges
and in stopping forever this murder
and burning that go on outside the
forestry domain I might remain In the
west."
"Would you accept the supervisor
hip of the Washakie forest?" demand
ed Dalton.
Taken by surprise, he stammered, "I
might, but am I the man?"
"You are. Your experience fits you
for a position where the fight Is hot.
The Washakie forest is even more a
bone of contention than this. We have
laid out the lines of division between
the sheep and the cows, and it will
take a man to enforce our regulations.
You will have the support of tlie best
citizens. They will all rally, with you
ns leader, and so end tlie warfare
there."
It can never end till Uncle Snm
puts rangers over every section of pub
lic lands and lays out the grazing Hues
as we have done in this forest," re
torted Cavanagh.
I know, but to get that requires a
revolution in the whole order of
things." Then ' his fine young face
lighted up. "Hut we'll get It. Public
seutimeut is coming our way. Tlie old
order Is alreudy so eaten uway that
only Its shell remains."
It may be. If these assassins are
punished I ahull feel hopeful of the
change."
I snail recommend you for tlie su
pervlsorship of the Washakie forest,"
concluded Pulton decisively. "And so
goodby and good luck."
England, his blood relatives, even
the Hodllolds, seemed very reunite to
the ranger as lie stood In his door that
night and watched the sparkle of
Swenson's camptire through the trees
With I lii' realization that there waited
a brave girl of the type that loves sin
gle heartedly, ready to sacrifice every
thing to the welfare of her idealized
subject, he felt unworthy, selfish, vain
"If 1 should fall sick she would in
Bist ou nursing me. For her sake I
must give Swenson the most rigid or
ders not to nllow her, no matter what
happens, to approach. 1 will not have
her touched by this thing."
Beside the blaze Lee and her mother
snt for the most part In silence, with
nothing to do but to wait the Issue of
the struggle going on In the cabin, so
near nnd yet so Inaccessible to their
will. It was ns If a magic wall, crys
tal clear, yet Impenetrable, shut them
away from the man whose quiet hero
ism was the subject of their constant
thought.
It wns marvelous, as the dusk fell
and the air nipped keen, to see how
Lize Wetherford renewed her youth.
The excitement seemed to have given
ner a rresn nom on lire, sue was
wearied, but by no means weakened,
by her ride nnd ate heartily of tho
rude fare which Swenson set before
her. "Tlds Is what I needed." she ex
ultantly Bald "the open air nnd these
trout. I feel ten years younger al
ready. Many's the night I've camped
on tho range with your father with
nothing but a purp tent to cover us
both and the wolves howling round
us. I'd feel pretty fairly gay If it
wnsn't for Ross over there in that
cabin playing nurse nnd cook nil by his
lonesouieness."
Lee expressed a deep satisfaction
from tho fact of their nearness. "If
he Is 111 we can help him," she reiter
ated. There was a touch of frost in the air
as they went to their beds, aud,
though she shivered, I.lze was undis
mayed. "There's nothing the mutter
with my heart," she exulted. "1 don'i
believe there was anything really sert
ous the matter with me, anyway. 1
reckon I was Just naturally grouchy
and worried over you and Ross."

BALLARD'S
SNOW LINIMENT
A heallwr remedy to effectively meet the needs of animal flesh need not be a harsh, strong mixture,
too drastic for the human body; Ballard's Snow Liniment is proof of this. It ranks with the best of the
flesh healing remedies designed for man; and it Is equally as prompt In curing the wounds and nesft
diseases common among animals. Owners of blooded horses prefer It to any other liniment because it
leaves no disfiguring: scars in any of the minor accidents' or ailments. It heals by a mild power to
which the flesh of horses responds readily. ..., . ,' . . ,
It Is of great value in healing harness Ralls, barbed wire cuts, woundr, festering sores and many
other ailments to which horses are subject. In the relief of human suffc-:ng, it has done a world or
good, particularly in easing the pains of rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica cr.d lumbago. When gent y
rubbed in where the pain exists, it gives a most gratifying relief to the afflicted. As a household
remedy for cuts, burns, bruiseB, sprains, contracted muscles, stiff neck, frost bites, swellings, chili
blalns, tvy poisoning, there is nothing better on earth.
