Along tha road which ld (rem
; the Crown ranch to In town ol
, Cougar wept a buckboard. On the
teal, reins wrapped about her amall
hands, sat Constance King. Connie
was nineteen and as pretty as a
prairie rose. The fact that she was
heir to the richest cattle ranch In
vie state had spoiled here no more
than had the school for young
. . Indies which she had attended: she
atlil mananed to retain the iresh
neu and level-eyed honesty which
was her Western heritage.
The road iollowed the middle of
a broad valley in wnwn iraaea
mnnnv Lhttu&ndi of Crown cattle.
Along the fringe of the valley were
the ahac.es oi aquaiura, wno. ii&e
Jackals around the lair of the lion.
iad feathered to snatch what
crumbe they could. Many a fat
yearling bearing the Crown brand
had fallen victim to their greedy
loop and had moved by devious
(rails far back Into the hills.
Just where they went no man
would openly say; but Chuck Gale
owned a ranch in the far reaches
of the northern slopes where visi
tor! were not welcomed, and even
the tolerant and easy-going Jab
King could find a logical answer to
the question. But mere conjecture

casation of cattle theft, so Chuck

himself was courteously received at
uie crown ranch house.
The buckboard werH around
bend, rising to the two outside
wheels as It took the turn. Expertly,
Connie straightened out the rac
ing ponies and the vehicle settled
on four wheels, then swayed with
Its weight on the Inside ones. The
right rear wheel flew from the axle,
ran craaily for a hundred feet or
so Into the sage and grease wood,
ttien wobbled uncertainly and
settled on Its side, still spinning.
The buckboard sagged and the
wheelless axle gouged a furrow in
the road, while the broncs, startled
at the accident, plunged wldly and
threatened to throw each other,
Connie leaned back on the reins
bracing her feet against the dash,
and sawed them to a pawing,
prancing stop. She held them until
tney naa Quieiea somewnat, men
cautiously slacked the reins.
She got from the seat, and went
after the wheel. She rolled It back
and leaned It against the tilted
buckboard and started walking
back along the course she had fol
lowed, her eyes searching the
ground for the axle nut. Bhe walked
a hundred yards, two hundred
yards, without finding It, then re
traced her steps.
She halted at the buckboard.
gave a gesture of exasperation, and
for the first time looked about her.
Her Raze swept the western boun
dary of the valley, passed along the
unbroken horizon to the north,
swung along its west side and was
arrested. A horseman had left one
of the homesteads on that side and
was angling for the road on a
course that would bring him to It
a milt or so beyond her.
The horseman turned his horse
in her direction and put him to
a lope. Connie was aware of a feel
ing of relief.
She noticed the rider and her
first Impression was that he de
served no more than on glance.
He was not handsome, and his
hair needed cutting. Just another
squatter. When he was only fifty

again, and saw retails which she
naa missea at first glance. To be
gin with, he was clean. His range
clothing was well worn, but neat
and spotless: his tanned face shone;
his boots were scuffed but freshly
polished. His face was somber to
the point of dournes. but there
was a quiet assuranca about his
bearing that impressed her despite
her prejudice against squatters.
He rode up, halted the sorrel
with a gentle rein, and quietly
raised his hat. "Good morning,
Hiss King. Looks like you're hav
ing a little trouble."
Connie stood up. Indicating the
Wheel with a wave of her hand.
"I looked for the nut but couldn't
find It, and there Isn't even a piece
of balling wire handy."
He nodded gravplv and turned
the sorrel. He walked him to the
point where the axle had first dug
into the ground, pulled up for a
moment to consider, then moved
slowly on, bent In the saddle to
can the ground. Fifty feet farther
on he reined in. leaned over and
picked up the missing nut. He
rod back and dismounted.
"Rolled Into a little hollow," he

He raised the axle, and she notic
ed the bulge of his smooth muscles
beneath the dark coat. She slipped
the wheel on and he lowered the
buckboard. With pliers taken from
his saddlebags, he tightened the
nut as best he could.
"That ought to hold until you
get to Cougar. Tou can stop at
the blacksmith shop and have it
ogntenea wun a wrench.' He
stepped back and raised his hat.
Connie smiled a thin smile.
"Thank you," she said.
He returned her smille and Con
nie was guilty of an impolite stare.
That smile changed his whole ap
pearance; It was as thougn the sun
had suddenly popped from behind

Connie lingered. You re a
homesteader?" She Just couldn't

made a little motion toward the
slope behind him. Trying to raise
a few purebred cattle. I'm on my
way to Cougar to meet the stage.
My brother's coming on it. He's a
lawyer." He said 11 prouaiy.
"Really?" said Connie, and un
fastened the reins. "Going to settle

I sure hope so.
She nodded and smiled again

"I'm glad you happened alone.

She didn't look back, but she
knew that Jeff Tyler was trailing
her to be on hand U she shed the
