Ankrom shoots it out with a oanp which has jumped the water tank. Lee follows him. Chapter 25 Cutting Words - WHEN Ankrom finally faced Lee his face was calm. "Get It over with." he said. "Get what over with?" "The remarks you've been sav ing up since that affair you mis construed in the bunkhouse the analysis of my character you've hit upon from observation of my con duct." "Your conduct," she answered coolly, "is your own affair." And now Iter green eyes flashed. "But had you mentioned manners, I'd tell you frankly they're deplora ble." He doffed his hat In a mocking bow. Lee, he felt, not only regard ed him as a liar, but as a man who readily unshucked his irons for pay.

Get on back to the " Ankrotr broke off abruptly; said: "Nevei mind. Stay here an' see that no body jumps this water." "Wh where you flggerln' tc head for?" "I'm going to have a talk with Claydell," Ankrom said, and fee his buckskin steel. Accusations CLAYDELL'S ranch house was : rambling, single story affa with a thick sod roof and adob walls that were tinted pink. Ar. krom dismounted before th porch, dropped the buckskin' reins and strode within. He found himself in a lone broad room that was neat am clean. Its walls were adorned witi trophies, an Indian blanket or two a mounted antelope head, a rack 0: rifles. Back of a desk beside a win dow Claydell was rising to his feet "Don't touch me!"

Hadn't Betty's words proved this amply when she had passed on to him that day the con demnation she had heard from Lee's own lips? "Since we're iust a coudIb of redheads trying to be pleasant," he drawled, "I'd admire to remind you mat we re not on a college campus nere. in is is tne west a place where men ain't never got accus tomed to. . . ." He let his voice trail off, but made his meaning clear by the mockery with which he eyed her unconventional attire. Lee jerked her silk dress over her knees. "Heaven knows why I should have steeped my hands in blood to save you from that lyin' tinhorn!" she said angrily. An krom closed tho distance between them by one long stride. "What's that?" "I should have let that Drean make kill you the world would have been a finer plncel" Ankrom's thoughts were crazy "steeped my hands in blood" . . . "should have let that Drean snake kill you." He did not hear the beat of approaching hoofs. He was star ing nt her blankly. ''What tho hell you talkin' bout?" He crossed to her horse with rapid strides. "What's this you're sayin' about Drean?" He reached for the bridle but her loaded quirt struck down his hand; slashed him hard across the face. "Don't touch me! Get awayl" her voice was thick with sup- Bresscd emotion. "I killed Kclton irean!" With a sob she whirled her horse and was gone. She Loved llim CUE had killed Kelton Drean! t-J The impact of that revelation truck Ankrom far harder than her whip had done. The signifi cance of her act was suddenly all too plainshe had shot Drean to save his life because she loved him! Under any other circum stance she would have shouted a warning; but she hadn't risked that chance. His life had meant too much! It was very plain to Ankrom now that l.ee had loved him. Her love If not her trust of him had withstood that bunkhouse scene, and her fear for his safely had brought her after him to this cabin in such vigorous hutry she had found no time to swap her dress for more suitable riding gear. He groaned aloud. an expression of polite wonder on his face. "I'm Ankrom foreman of the Rafter T." Claydell was regarding him cu riously. "Ankrom? Seems to me you're the chap who made Tom Katchford back down over to the Trone place that night the pseudo Stru'.hers man was killed. Seems like I recollect your name was Streeter. . . ." Ankrom grinned coldly. "Your mem'ry's good, Claydell. However, I didn't ride way over here to en ter into a discussion of names. I hear you're Interested in rail roads. "Railroads?" Claydell's face was blank. "A particular railroad, then." "I'm afraid I don't quite get you," Claydell said. "I'm not inter ested in any railroad. Whatever gave you that notion? Were you expecting to sell me some stock, or something?" Ankrom said, "Are vou Inter estrd In acquiring the Rafter T?' "Not especially. I made Trom an offer once, several years age He didn't want to sell, he said Ankrom's white (celh gleamcr coldly behind his parted lips "Didn't want to sell, eh?" "What are you driving at?' Claydell snapped. "You wanted the Rafter T be cause you'd learned that a big road was planning to lay track from Amarillo to El Paso and would have to cross that land. You of fered to buy, but Trono wouldn't sell. So you set out to smash him to put him out of business so vou could steal the property from Trone's daughter, for a fraction of its worth. You hired a bunch of saddle bums to rustle Rafter T beef. You bought Mosc Hackctt to help that deal along." Claydell's eyes were widening; the first look of bewilderment wi giving way to incredulity tc an ger. You weren t making headway fast enough," Ankrom continued "You were afraid news of the rail road would be leaking out So you bought Hellle, the sheepman, body and soul an' sicked him onto tht water nt Rafter T's southwest line camp. To hold that water in case Knller i Kicked up you gave Heine a bunch of gun-slicks an you brought Bandera, the Mex killer. in to strengthen Hellle s hand." (Crtviikl (.. Ktl, c.

After a hard chase tha animal eluded him: but In so doing It led Hualca to one of the richest silver deposits ever discovered. Grasping a clump of bushes as he clambered over a ledge of steep rocks after the goat, Hualca slipped, up rooting tha bushes as he fell. The roots, strange as It seems, were liter ally coated with sliver. . Until 1666, this district produced silver valued at over 95.000,000 a year. Today the mines have been exhausted.
