' "Bring tome rope, Barnes." .
Tm way ahead of you, Colo

I tared the fellows who stole my
kruek might cut your herd. I sent
mr BM upthe river at dawn to
Li
cut them off. Usually these cattle
thieves head right for the brakes.
. . . Pm driving up that way. Want
to go along, Monnle?"
Monnle shook her head. "No,
thanks, Mike. If I go, I'll ride
with Dad."
"You'll stay right here," the
Colonel ordered. "There's going to
be a hanging, and you dont need
to see it Come on. Petr."
The telephone Jingled. Barnes
answered. "For you, Bentley."
Bentley took the receiver, lis
tened. "Good work, Bill. Keep
him there. I'll tell Colonel Miles."
He turned from the telephone:
"Got your rustlers for you al
ready. Colonel. The boys picked up
the truck tracks, followed them
into Lost Canyon. One of the
thieves is up there, with the truck
. . . dead. BUI brought the other
one back to my place."
Monnle gasped. "Who? Which?"
"The dead man's a fellow
named Morrows, had him working
for me. The other the one up at
my place is Collins, your top
Hayhook hand, Barnes."
"I'll still hear what Collins has
to say," Barnes answered.
"We'll take the sheriff up to
Lost Canyon, identify the calves,"
the Colonel broke in. "Then come
by and talk to Collins. Dont say
anything about having Collins. I
dont want the sheriff to know It
yet We'll let on like Collins
escaped, help the sheriff hunt
around the river for him.
"We'U be over at midnight to
get him. There are trees on the
Hayhook that have been decorated
before. Guess they grew there
Just for hanging cow thieves." The
old rancher stalked out, followed
by his foreman. Bentley hesitated,
as if he intended to speak to
Monnle, then walked through the
door.
A hundred thoughts raced
through the girl's mind. She ran
after Bentley.
"Wait Mike! ITl go with you."
Her face was grim, her. lips set in
a determined line as she came up
to him. "I want to tell that low
down calf stealer Just what I
think of htm."
