LOVE ON THE RANGE
BY NELSON C. NYE
Chapter One
Never Trouble Trouble
WHERE the trail crossed a high plateau the tall, lean
rider on the gaunt buckskin halted his dusty animal
and sat loosely in the saddle looking back. He scanned
the burning way with eyes narrowed beneath his
down-pulled hat, but no moving speck disturbed the heat haze
that hung like a pall over tne
earth.
This was not the first imc that
the bronzed rider had halteH f jr a
cautious backward glance. Many
times during the oast few Javr he
had done so. Once or twice he had
seen solitary horsemen, but they
had been traveling different
courses.
As he lounged now, with one
knee crooked about the horn, his
left hand went to his shirt pocket
and extracted cigarelte papers and
a sack or tobacco. Ihe same left
hand rolled a smoke and his tongue
licked the tiny cylinder while his
eyes scanned the backtrail.
With a shrue he lit the ciearette,
broke the match in two and let It
drop. Some of the cold intentness
left his glance as he faced front
once more and kneed the buckskin
into movement.
Abraham Lincoln Ankrom he
had been named by fond parents
in the hope that one day he might
be great. But such distinction as
had thus far come his way could
not have been farther from their
dreams. Up and down the twisting
length of this South western bor
der country he had achieved fiery
notoriety as "Blur" Ankrom king
of the corpsemakers.
He had found no pride In the
distinction, nor had he sought it;
it had come upon him octopus-like
against nia win. men nua aeiiuer
ately brought him quarrels that
they might lav claim to the emi
nence of having "downed Blur An
krom. But their hands had been
a little slow,
The lines of his face deepened
as he thought of those drifting
leather-slappers whose greedy lust
for the reputation he did not want
had taken them to hell on shutters.
Gradually the realization was be
ing forced upon him that nowhere
could he .litlc from their breed or
from the turmoil that,- like some
ghostly Nemesis, dogged his
horse s steps.
He had grown weary of the at'
tempts to find some haven where
he might let down his vigilance.
Such a place it seemed, for him,
did not exist. Peso Pinto lay ahead
and there, he told himself, he
would stop tonight and give him
self the rare treat of a night in bed
oeneain a roor.
To show himself thus openly in
a town, even a place the modest
size or Peso flnto, would be dan
gerous. But danger, loneliness and
himself had been companions dur
ing these last two years. And he
was tired of his efforts to avoid
trouble.
He crossed the sandy, stifling
stretch of desert at a slow lope,
passed the whitewashed stone
marker and urged his buckskin
across that invisible line that sep
arated himself from the State of
Texas.
The afternoon slouched along
and the plop .plop plop of the
buckskin's hoofs made the only
sound in the vast silence. To his
right, miles away across the haze
at heat, a broad mountain range
rose from the baking earth, one
great peak towering high above its
companions. Ankrom knew this
peak and from it checked his
course.
Presently he could discern far
off the sand-scoured adobes of
Peso Pinto where they lay squat
and solid against the yellow and

green of rabbit brush. There he
would spend the night.
A Woman's Cry
ANKROM urged his mount along
a little faster. He was not de
ceived by the apparent nearness
of the adobe structures. The town,
he thought, was about eight miles
oil. This morning una exhausted
his supply of provisions and
though he realized that he would
not reach his destination until
night, he did not hurry his horse
but only tightened up his belt.
After a little .hile he looked
back again but as before no mov
ing speck crossed his range of
vision. He ie t shnhtlv more com
fortable, for if he had been fol
lowed he felt he would have ob
served some sign before now. He
had been upon the trail five days
and not since the first day had he
seen signs or pursuit.
The sun, swinging low behind
those mountains, was gilding their
crests and sending long shadows
out across the range when An-
krom's hand went tov-ard the pair
of felt-covered metallic canteens
that hung from the saddle horn.
He had not tasted water since noon
and did not taste it now. Into his
hat went a portion of the precious
Mould to wet the buckskin s muz
zle. Ankrom loved this yellow
horse; many times had the brute
proved a friend in need.
Darkness came: the deep dark'
ness of the desert country.
It was close to eleven o'clock
when Ankrom reached Peso Pin
to's northern fringe and beheld the
electric lights of its old adobe
structures close up ahead. Though
he had eaten nothing since early
morning he did not hurry now. In
mis country a man in a hurry at'
traded instant attention, and at
tention was one thing Ankrom did
not wish.
He entered the town, tugged his
hat lower down across tiie alert
eyes that were flicking glances into
tne snaaows to leu ana rignu
Embarrassing situations con
fronted persons caught packing
hardware inside town limits, he
recalled. Pausing, he unDacked his
slicker roll, took from it a coat
which he donned and olaced in it
his gun belt and emDtv holster.
The big gun he thrust into the
waist-Dana 01 nis trousers in such
position that his otien coat con

Sidelong glances disclosed to
him that this end of town was not
its best neighborhood. There were
saloons with beer and soft-drink
signs plastered on their windows,
and otner places or even less re
pute. There were machines parked
along this ill-lit street and here
and there a pony dozing beside
post.
Ankrom continued on his way
until, passing a high false-fronted
frame, he heard a woman's star
tled cry. The buckskin stopped of
its own volition while Ankrom'a
tall form went tense His eyes
peered through the wavering
shadows while he sat motionless.
A banjo tinkled from a place sev
eral doors removed. A burst of
laughter came from the building
across the street. Thoughtfully
Ankrom dismounted, trailed his
buckskin's reins.

fore which he stood. And yet this
seemed unlikely for the place was
dark and shuttered. He stooped
down beside his horse as though
inspecting the cinch.
Seconds passed and he finally
straightened. He cursed himself
tor a fool; told himself this thing
was none of his business, His
proper course was to ride along.
"Never trouble trouble till trouble
troubles you," he quoted softly,
and was reaching tor the horn
with one foot lifting toward the
stirrup when the cry came again.
Gleaming; Metal
SLOWLY Ankrom set his foot
down, the out-thrust arm re
turned to his side. He turned and
stared at the wooden building.
There was no movement among
the shadows about Its door.
"Extremely odd," he muttered
and eyed the house again. He felt
sure now that the cries he'd heard
had come from there. The last one
had been a sort of gasp. Slowly,
not quite knowing just what he
was going to do, Ankrom started
forward.
He was almost to the door when
a scream cut the quiet Thin and
high it was and stopped abruptly
as though a hand had -oughly
clamped across the mouth.
Ankrom hurled his body side
ways. What warned him he did not
know, yet even as he moved a
gleaming thing of metal whizzed
past three inches from his shoul
der, embedded itself In the post
beside his horse.
Toward that door Ankrom
sprang quickly. The muscles
Duigea like ropes along Ankrom s
jaw as his shoulder struck the door
and smashed. It. His momentum
flung him across the threshold
reeling into a room dimly lit by a
lamp that showed him three men
crouched before a wild-eyed girl
who was lashed to a chair. By their
clothes and evil faces he knew
those men for city thugs. A glow
ing branding iron was gripped in
the outstretched hand of the near
est
As Ankrom caught his balance
that man let drive with the red-
hot iron straight at his head. An
krom ducked. When he came uo
the right hands of the thugs were
behind' them in hip pockets and
coming out weighted.
Ankrom had no choice. It was
his life or theirs. One brown fist
flashed beneath his coat and came
out spitting flame in a steady
stream. Deafening reverberations)
rocked the room and snuffed the
lamp, plunging the place in black
ness through which cut lancelike
jets of Are.
Something struck Ankrom'i
right shoulder heavily, smashed
him backward and whirled him
half around. From the tail of his
eye he saw a black shape slide out
through the ODcn doorwav. For
long moments, tensely alert An
krom crouched in the zloom with
leveled gun. Nothing moved. Fi
nally he struck a match.
Une of those thugs lay slumped
against a wall. Another was face
down on the dust floor with one
arm outflung, the other doubled
peneatn mm; his rcet sprawled '
wide apart The third had van
ished. The girl's eyes were upon him
Intently. There was some strange,
unreadable emotion stirring in
their depths. A dirty handkerchief
had been bound across her mouth;
no doubt placed there after she
had screamed. He moved toward
her where she sat lashed to the
chair and her eyes remained stead
ily on his face. There was a ques
tion in them.
