DAVE SANDERS, youthful range
rider with the I) Bar Lazy R out
fit, is fooled into matching the
speed of his pet pony. Chiquito,
against that of a race horse own
ed by
AD MILLER, a gambler. Miller
and his confederate,
GEORGE DOBLE, the latter a half
brother of
DUO DOBLE. the ranch foreman,
win heavily from the cowboys
when Chiquito is beaten. After
the race Oeorge Doble picks a
quarrel with
BOB HART, Dave's pal. Dave in
terferes and is attach.d by Miller.
Dug Doble separates them.
GO ON WITH THE STORY
"What's eatin' you. Sanders?" he
demanded curtly.
"Ho ripped me with his spurs,"
Miller said sullenly. "That's how
come I had to turn him loose."
Dave looked down at the man's
legs. His trousers were torn to
shreds. Blood trickled down the
lacerated calves where the spurs
had roweled the flesh cruelly. No
wonder Miller had suddenly lost in
terest in the fight.
The two gamblers packed their
race-horse, saddled, and rode away
without a word to any of the range -
riders.
CHAPTER IV
The next morning Dave roped his
mount and rode out to meet Chi
luito. The pirito was an aristocrat
ill his way. He preferred to choose
his company, was a little disdainful
of the ■cowpony that had no accom
plishments. Usually he grazed a
short distance from the remuda, to
gether with one of Bob Hart's
string.
Dave's whistle brought no nicker
of joy. no thud of hoot's galloping
out of the darkness to him. No
•Inewer came to his calls. At a
nanter he cut across the plain to
Bob Hart.
"Found 'em?" shouted Dave when
lie was close enough to be heard.
"No, and we won't—not this side
of Main pi. Those scalawags didn't
make camp last night. They kep'
travelin*. If you ask me, they're
movin' yet. and they've got our
broncs with 'em.*'
This had already occurred to Dave
as a possibility. "Any proof?" he
asked quietly.
"A-plenty. Three-four times we
cut trail of five horses. Two of the
five are bein' ridden. My four-Bits
hoss has got a broken front hoof.
So has one of the five."
"Movin' fast, are they?"
"You're dam whistlin'. They're
hivin' off for parts unknown. Malapi
iirst off. looks like. They got friends
there."
"Steelman and his outfit will pro
tect them while they hunt cover apd
make a getaway."
"He was probably lyin". You can't
tell. Point is. we've got to get busy.
My notion is we d better make a
bee-line for Malapi, right away,"
proposed Bob.
"We'll travel all night. No use
wastin' any more time."
Within an hour they were on the
road.
Jn the late afternoon they rode
back to the trail through a draw,
the ponies wading fetlock deep iu <
yellow, red. blue and purple flowers.
The mountains across the valley
looked in the dry heat as though
made of papier-mache.
CHAPTER V
The two D Bar I/azy H punchers
ate supper at Delmonico's. The
restaurant was owned by Wong
Chung. A Cantonese celestial did
, III« UUUf\Jll& 4*11« ftiii'iuci »vamu *jii
table. The price of a meal was
twenty-five cents, regardless oC what
one ordered.
Dave helped himself to bread
from a plate stacked high with thick ;
•slices. He buttered it and began to
eat. Hart did the same. Just about •
to attack a second slice, Dave stop-1
ped to stare at his companion. Hart
was looking past his shoulder with
alert intentness. Dave turned his
head. Two men. leaving the res
taurant. were paying the cashier.
The men were George Doble and
a cowpuncher"known as Shorty, a
broad, heavy-set little man who
workfed for Bradley Steelman, own
er of the Rocking Horse Ranch.
They paid their bill and passed
into the street. Immediately the
sound of a clear, high voice arrested
their attention. It vibrated indigna
tion ami dread.
"What have you (lonp with my
father?" came sharply to them 011
the wings of the soft night wind.
A young woman was speaking.!
She was in a buggy and was talking]
to two men on the sidewalk-r—the
two men who had preceded the
range-ridfrs out of the restaurant.
"Why, Miss, we ain't done a thing
to him—nothin' a-tall." The man
Shorty was speaking, and in a tone
of honeyed coneiliation.
"That's a lie." The voice of the
girl broke for an instant to sob. "Do
vou think I don't know you're Brad
Steelman's handy man. that you do
his meanness for him w\en he snaps
his fingers?"
"Is yore paw missin'? I'm right
sorry to hear that." the c wpuncher
countered with suave irony. His
glance followed Doble, wlip was
moving slowly down the street.
The girl's face, white and shining!
in the moonlight, leaned out of the J
buggy toward the retreating vaque-1
ro. "Don't you dare hurt my fath
er! Don't you dare!" she warned.
The words choked in her tense
throat.
Shorty continued to back away.
"You're excitedi Miss. You'll be
sorry you talked this away to me,"
ho said with unctuous virtue. Then
he turned and went straddling down
the walk.
Quickly Dave gave directions to
his friend. "Duck back into the
restaurant. Bob. Get a pocketful of
dry rice from the Chink. Trail those
birds to their nest and find where
they roost. Scatter rice behind you,
and I'll drift along later. First off. 1
got to stay and talk with Miss
Joyce."
A moment later Hart was in the
restaurant commandeering rice and
Sanders was lifting his dusty hat to
the young woman in the buggy.
"If I can help you any. Miss
Joyce," he said.
Beneath dark and delicate brows
she frowned at him. "Who are you?"
"Dave Sanders my name is. ï
reckon you never heard tell of me,
I punch cows for yore father."
Her luminous, hazel-brown eyes
steadied in his, read the honesty of
his simple, boyish heart.
"You heard what I said to that
man ?"
"Part of it."
"Well, it's true. I know it is. but
I can't prove it.""
"How do you know it?"
"Steelman's men have been watch
ing our house. This man Shorty
was one."
"Any special reason for the feud
to break out right now?"
"Father was going to prove up on
a claim this week—the one tha
takes in the Tularosa wate~-holes.
Don't you think maybe they're try
ing to keep him from proving up?"
"Maybeso. When did you see him
last?"
Her Hp trembled. "Nigl\t before
last. After supper he start <1 for the
Cattleman's club, but he never got
there."
"Looks like some of Brad Steel
man's smooth work." admitted Dave.
"If he could work yore father to
sign a relinquishment—"
Fire flickered in her eye. "He'd
ought to know Dad better."
"What's more, it wouldn't be their
play to injure him. but to force a
relinquishment," continued Dave.
"That's true. You believe that,
don't you?" Joyce cried eagerly.
"That man who jus' passed is my
friend," he told her. "He's trailin'
that duck Shorty. Like as not we'll
find out what's stirrinV*
"I'll go with you." the girl said,
vivid lips parted in anticipation.
"No, you go home. Soon as 1 Und
out anything I'll let you know."
"You'll come, no matter what
time o' night it is." she pleaded.
"Yes." he promised.
CHAPTER VI
The trail of rice led down Mission
street, turned at Junipero, crossed
into an alley, and trickltd along a
dusty road to tho outskirts of the
frontier town.
Doble and Miller were small fish
in the swirl of this more desperate
venture. Dave knew Brad Steel man
by sight and by reputation. The
man's coffee-brown, hatchet face,
the slope of nose and chin, com
bined to give him the look o a pre
dacious wolf. Suspected of many

FATi I KR." Sil H WARN KD.

crimes, ho had been proved guilty
of none.
A soft, low whistle stayed Dave's
feet. From behind a bush Dob rose
and beckoned.
"The 'dobe house over to tin
right," said Bob. "L been up and
tried to look in, but they got cur
tains drawn."
They made a wide circuit and ap
proached the house from the rear.
Dave crept forward and tried the
door. It was locked. Tho window
w s latched and the blind lowered.
"How about the roof?" asked
Hart.
Dave's eyes lit.
"What's the matter with tpkin' a
whirl at it?" his partner continued. |
"You're tophand with a rope."
"Suits me fine."
The rope snaked forward and up,
I settled gracefully over the chimney !
Dave slipped oft' his high-heeled |
boots and went up hand ov. hand. !
In another moment he was huddled I
against tne chimney waiting fi>r his
companion.
As sqon as Hart joined him he
pulled up the rope and wound it
round the chimney.
Davo moved down the roof to the |
nearest dormer.
It was a casement window, and at
(he touch of the hand it gave way. \
The heart of tho cowpuneher beat j
fast with excitement. In tl , %adowy
darkness of that room death might
be lurking, its hand already out
stretched toward him. He peered in.
accustoming his eyes to the black
ness. A prickling of tho skin ran
over him. For he knew that, though
he could not yet make out the ob
jects inside the room, his face must
be like a framed portrait to anybody
there.
Dave eased himself over tho sill
and waited for a moment while In
listened. the revolver in his hand. It
seemed to him that he could hear a
f 'nt murmur of voices, but he was
not sure. He moved across the bare
plank floor, slid through the door,
and again stopped to take stock of
hi» surroundings.
