"H—I’« fire!” Crooned Bill’s voice
was the first to break the silence when
Roberta had finished reading this re
markable communication. “It’s true.
There is a God that marks the spar
row’s fall—and your Uncle Tom was a
binl!”
“Well, now that he’s dead. Uncle
Bill, you might be charitable and
«peak kindly of him. At least he was
my last of kin,” Roberta chid the old
man.
“All right, honey. I’ll notv say an-
•ther word."
Glenn Hackett thought the situa
tion, while a bit clouded, deserved the
customary consideration. "I’m very
•orry, Bobby,” he said.
"That’s kind of you, Glenn, Unfor-
tunately I never knew Uncle Tom—
had never seen him, that is. It’s too
bad, of course, but really poor Uncle
Tom wasn’t u very lovable character,
I’m afraid.”
“He was a turkey blizzard." Crooked
Bill declared with finality. /‘Roberta’s

for the benefit of Hackett, "He took

considerable, rind so far Us I know,
Roberta, you’re Ns next of kin. So
It looks as If you’re in the sheep busi

Roberta read the letter again. "Judg*
Ing by the name of the sender of this
telegram, Jaime Miguel Higuenes, It
would appear that Texas boasts nt
least one very Intelligent,, very
thoughtful, very frank and very humor
ous Mexican. He expresses himself
like an educated American. Uncle
Bill, you spent a great many years
down there. Do you happen to know
the Higuenes family?"
Crooked Bill’s fnce had worn his
most crafty smile while Roberta was
speaking, but now It was blank and
expressionless. “It’s been twenty-five
years since I operated In Texas, Ro-
berta. Higuenes! Hlguen'»»’ I pin’t
seem to remember anybody^hy 'that
name."
“It would appear," Roberta decided
presently, "that T hive n«»ed to en

Tom’s estate." Sho glanced with frank
Interest and approval nt lla«-kett.
“Certainly. Of course," Crooked
Bill agree«!, and thought more kindly
of Uncle Tom for having provided an
opportunity for these two to forg«»t
their recent differences and be friend
ly again In the name of business.
"Hackett Is the very man.”
"Hackett Isn’t," that harasso«! per
son declared with finality. “Jaime
Miguel Higuenes Is. That man Is hon
est and fearless. I can tell that much
from his telegram. Also he gives hank
references. If you desire, Roberta,
I shall telegraph the bank he men
tions. If the bank’s reply would
seem to Indicate the advisability of
requesting Higuenes to take charge
of your Uncle Tom’s estate for the
present, may I send him a telegram,
signing your name, and requesting him
to do so?”
Roberta was rer«'adlng the telegram.
“1 think.” she declared, “that Jaime
Miguel Higuenes must be a perfectly
fascinating person. In twenty-three
words he gives one the whole dramatic
story of a bloody shooting scrape out
on the range and gives one the Im
pression—in fact, the conviction—that
the result was no surprise to him and
that he Is not sorry the tragedy oc
curred !
He Is resourceful, not
squeamish and has Initiative, because
in the pursuit of Information he dared
to pick a dead man’s pocket. _ He Is
kind and friendly and thoughtful and
wants to help a jierson he has never
seen, and he is a man of substance
and takes a justifiable pride in his
personal and financial standing.”
MOh, those Spanish dons are as
proud as Lucifer,” Crooked Bill as-
su red her.
*
"He is also good-natured and easy
going, otherwise he would not bother
himself with the probably thankless
task of protecting the Interests of a
stranger—and an American at that.
Probably he acted thus because I am
a woman, which proves he Is gallant
and chivalrous.”
“A sort of knight-errant,” Crooked
Bill murmured maliciously, and
Hackett shot him a look of dlspleas-
«t*«». “Well, Mexicans, of whatever
class, are very polite to a lady. They
always make a great-to-do about wom
en. The chances are this Higuenes Is
an educate«! half-breed, Aztec Indian.
I wish he l»ad Informed us who killed
Cock Robin. He merely Rays It was
a cowman.”
“I wonder If he got hurt?” Roberta
murmured.
“Does It matter particularly?” For
a reason he had not even tried to
analyze, hut which had been born of
a subconscious resentment of the man
who had made It possible to Interject
Jalm? Miguel Higuenes Into Roberta
Antrim’s thoughts. . Glenn Hackett
spoke.
L ,
Ten thousand, cunning /mps peeped
for an instant from Crooked Bill’s old
eyes. “No, he didn’t got hurt—at
least. not very badly.”
“How do you know?” Hackett de-
manded, and Roberta looked at her
nncle inquiringly. “I believe you
know Jaime Higuene^.”
“I couldn’t make an affidavit to that,
Roberta. I cannot recall having met
him or even heard of him, so help
mo!”
Just then the butler entered to an
nounce dinners “Better reconsider
your decision rind break bread with
S. L. Boyce, Minister
«
and Investigate Jaime Miguel HTguo-
nes personally.”
“If you do you’ll get the surprise
of your sweet young life, my dear.”
Roberta’s brown eyes danced. No-
body knew better than Crooked Bill
bow she cherished sufprises.
"I think 1 should go down to Uncle
Tom’s funeral,” she suggested. “I’m
the last of the Antrims and It "would
be rather Indecent of me to permit
strangers -and not very sympathetic
strangers, I fear—to bury him.”
Crooked Bill was always practical,
e\en if mysterious. “I wouldn’t do
that, honey. I’m afraid Uncle Tom
won t k«*ep until you get there. I have
never heard of ice or undertakers In
Los Algodones, and as for hermetical
ly sealed caskets, there just aren’t
any. I have a friend down there, how
ever, and I’ll wire him to attend the
obsequies and send flowers for you
and a wreath of cactus for me.”
"Why have you always disliked
Uncle Tom so?”
. “Because you’re his niece, not mine,
an«l he’s never showed the slightest
interest in you, except to send you
five'dollars at Christmas nnd on your
birthdays; because I staked the un
holy wretch in the cow business and
he sold out the cows, refused to pay
the loan, went to Mexico w’here I
couldn’t collect and Ret up in the
Rheep .business; because he was ornery
from birth and looked It. Your father
was not what I would call a mental
giant, Roberta, but he was kind and
amusing and on the square, whereas
your Uncle Tom was a throwback, a
black sheep.”
“Every family has them," the girl
defended.
“Well, honey, you haven't yours any
more !”
"Tom Antrim’s outfit. Well, if he’s
only ten miles from here he’s tres
passing on my range. Thanks for ths
Information, Ken. Feed is pretty
scarce to the east of me and I suppose
Tom Antrim got desperate. Yes, you
