After A Man's Heart
by JEAN
.l. HD AY: Tim has bten
ttjj uosorbed in his own unhap
pmejl over Iris DeMuth, to no
tics Buff's unhappmess over her
parents. Buff breaks down ond
eonfid" in Tim. He flduiiM her
to lead her oira life.
Chapter Seven
New Arrival
TIM and Buff noticed a car draw
ing up. It stopped by the aide
of the house and several persons
alighted from it: a win, oiuism
nun . nhimn. handsomely dressed
woman, a girl who was much too
fat. They began taking suitcases
from the back of the car; dozens
of suitcases, it seemed to the two
who looked on irom me winuuw
above.
AfWinc annnared suddenly.
"Well, here we are!" said the
thinnish man. "A day earlier than
we expected, but it worked out
that way.
Atkins murmured something.
"Nonsense! Nonsense! We paid
t in advance, didn't we?
We agreed on the date? Well, what
else is Were to unaerstanui neiy
me in with these suitcases. My
wife and daughter are tired. We'd
like to go upstairs at once."
Buff was unconscious that he
had seized Tirr.' arm in a vise
like grip.
"He's done it again," she whis
pered, ilea rented tne rancn
pnin."
Hi; answered her thoughtfully.
"Sure enough, my month la up to
morrow. He must have dated them
at the same time ne put tne aaver
tisement in the Denver paper." A
rare sound broke upon the air. Tim
was chuckling. " 'Able man, At
kins!' Shall we go down and deal
with him. Buff?"
A few minutes later. Buff and
Tim Corliss faced the foreman ac
cusingly. "Well. Atkins!" said Buff.
"Ain't much I can aay," mut
tered Atkins. "You know every
thing, don't you?"
"I wonder if I do! Have you
rented the place, month by month,
throughout the winter?"
The foreman shook his head. "I
iut an ad in a Denver paper. Mr.
Inrliss and this man Hunt an-
awcred it Mr. Corliss wanted it
right away but Mr. Hunt, he want
ed it through October. I didn't see
no partikler harm in it. Miss Buff.
Honest! Just letting them stay
here. I was going to foot the bills
for supplies, of course. Mrs. Webb
was gettin' tired havin' only me to
cook for. When you atop to think
of it," he continued mournfully,
"it ain't really no crime. How
could I know you'd come back
here, or Mr. Corliss would hurt
himself and stay on after his
month was up?"
Tim regarded him with cynical
amusement. "And what are your
pkiiis now, Atkins?"
Atkins made his accusers a pres
ent of the entire problem.
"I got my things packed and I'm
Iravin' this afternoon. You kin do
what you like about the Hunts.
They don't seem to want to take no
for ;in answer."
fluff considered. Atkins might as
wen go, sne tnougnt. no would
hnvj to eventually. Dr. Westland
had assured her he could get an
other man.
"All right, Atkins," she said,
thereby surprising the man who
had expected protest. "But let me
be sure of one thing: is this the
last in your series of tenants or will
they keep on turning up here,
month after month?"
Tim struck in: "You know Miss
Carroll could prosecute you, At
kins, I suppose?"
Victims Of Fraud
FOR one second an ugly change
took place in the lanky fore
man. His eyes narowed, menacing
lines bracketed his mouth.
"Mebbe she could, but she'll
have to catch up with me first!" He
turned on his fiecl and was gone.
Almost at once his car roared past
the house.
"Let him go," Buff said. "I'm
glad to bo rid of him. I'll call Dr.
Wostland and ask him to send out
the man he recommended. Mean
while there are these people
Hunt, didn't he say their name is?
I shall have to talk to them."
The opportunity came almost at
once. The husband and father
desrended the stairs, glancing
about him with an air of taking
possession of his own. BufI moved
forward to meet him.
"I'm Miss Carroll, Mr. Hunt, and
I understand that Atkins, my fa
ther's foreman, rented vou this
place for October. He had no au
thority to do so. I shall give you
back whatever you paid him, of
course. I'm very sorry you should
have been the victim of a fraud."
Mr. Hunt smiled tolerantly. "My
dear Miss Carroll, how do i know
that it was a fraud? 1 answered an
advertisement; paid cash in ad
vance; acted in entire good faith.
Now you tell me Atkins had no
right to rent this ranch. Until you
ran prove it we shall stay on, my
wife and daughter and I. I'm not in
the habit," he told her impressive
ly, "of being fooled."
Tim took quiet charge of the
conversation.
"You were this time, Mr. Hunt.
So was I. 1 rented the place for
September. I'd been here only a
few days when Miss Carroll ar
rived to close up the house. It's too
bad, but Mr. Carroll is the real
loser since he's refunding the rent
that Atkins has gone oil with."
Mr. Hunt spoke three sentences,
all indicating a menial process
whirh moved somewhat crcakily
but logically.
"So Atkins has gone, eh? And

it's the last day of September and
vou're still here? If Miss Carroll
honored your er reservations,
to speak, why not mine?"
"Mr. Corliss had a motor acci
dent," Buff intervened a little
stilfly. "Also I have no intention
of keeping the house open during
October. I m sorry," she said again,
"but I'm afraid you'll have to make
other arrangements. It's not worth
your while to unpack.
"I beg to differ with you. As a
matter of fact, we are unpacked. I
shall telephone my lawyer in Den
ver to look into this matter. I have
my receipt" he touched his coat
pocket and I think you'll find it
will be difficult to to evict me."
He was so pleased with the word
he repeated it. "To evict me, Miss
Carroll. No, I feel quite sure I'm
legally secure in my position."
"Buff," said Tim, "may I handle
this for you? I'll do a little tele
phoning myself to a lawyer I
know in Boulder. I think we'll get
pretty rapid results."
"May I ask your own position
here, young man? You came as a
tenant a stranger to Miss Carroll,
or so I understand. You were
slightly injured, and you remained
in spite of the or so you'd have
me believe! illegal proceedings
carried on by Atkins. You now ad
dress your landlady by her first
name. May I ask if the household
has consisted during this time of
you two young people alone?".
Alimentary Achievements
TIM kept his temper with an ef
fort. "By no means! Aside from
Atkins, Miss Carroll has been
chaperoned by Mrs. Webb, the
housekeeper. Not that I feel any
explanation is owing you; simply
to keep the record clear. I advise
you to pack, Mr. Hunt. Buff, I'll
telephone now and get this matter
straightened out." He swung his
crutches toward the living room
where the telephone was.
Mrs. Webb appeared almost at
once to announce dinner and Buffs
hospitable heart prompted her to
invite her obnoxious tenants to
stay even though her anger still
simmered at Hunt's implications.
Her wrath was not lessened by the
significant glance he gave the fat
cook. Wearing her apron, her
broad red face damn from her ex
ertions, she looked exactly what
she was: a servant; by no means a
chaperon in tne conventional sense
of the word.
Mrs. Hunt and her daughter de
scended at once. "Maudie May,"
said her father, with a proud wave
of his hand toward the fat Girl.
Buff with difficulty concealed her
joy. "Maudie May Hunt till sne is
tired she won't find a resting
nlace on this ranch! she mur
mured to Tim as she followed her
guests to the shaded dining room.
' 1 m atraid she will overnight,"
at least." he replied moodilv. "I
can't get hold of the fellow I want
just now nor anybody else for a
while. Big case in court and all
the legal lights arc tied up. I'll
call again later on but this is just
the silly sort of thing that takes
time to settle.
"I should think all you'd have to
no would be to call tne shenli,
she told him.
He shook his head. There was no
time for further talk between
them. Mrs. Webb had done her best
or her worst for the new ar
rivals. Platters of fried chicken,
mounds of fluffy mashed potatoes
mixed with cream, a great bowl
of crisp salad, homemade jam and
pickles, a green apple pie which
melted in the mouth from begin
ning to end it was a triumph of
culinary art. Mr. Hunt and his wifo
ate with openly expressed ap
proval. Maudie May settled herself
earnestly to the task of consuming
as much food as was possible with
out actually bursting, BufI
thought. Hit fascinated gaze lin
gered on the fat girl. Tim also
could not tear his eyes away from
the absorbing spectacle.
There was no hurry, no temper
amental skipping from this dish
or that, Maudie May was out to
make a workmanlike job of dinner
by no stretch of the imagination
could it be called luncheon and
make it she did. She neglected
nothing. Crisp stalks of celery were
given the same consideration as
the savory chicken. Biscuits ap
parently constituted a sort of filler
to occupy whatever crevices there
might be in the meal. Her jaws
moved rhythmically, tirelessly,
stopping only whcn'Mnudie May
drank from the tall glass of iced
tea beside her plate, a glass which
was several times refilled.
BulT began to feel choked with
food, though she herself ate very
little. Tim too trilled with his
meal. Occasionally the proud fa
ther of this remarkable diner
swept a glance about the table as
though to call attention to his
daughter's alimentary achieve
ments. There was no need. Neither
Buff nor Tim could have looked
away if the house had caught afire.
Kven Mrs. Webb passed from
delicht In this appreciation of her
efforts to definite uneasiness. When
Maudie May asked for and re
reived a second piece of pie,
drenched It liberally with thick
cream and consumed it with the
same earnest attention she had
given her first mouthful, the
housekeeper's worried glance
sought Buff. The girl shook her
head slightlv.
"Pretty good lunch!"
It was the first time Maudie Mav
had spoken save to request that the
biscuits be passed or her nlnte re
plenished. "Hope dinner is as nice."
