Young Barnes, the cowboy, had his hands full with the spirited team. Presently Jim's ever-watchiful eyes caught dust far ahead, and dots of riders getting off the road into the cedar thickets. They would be Smoky"s outfit, Jim calculated, and gave them credit for seeing the buckboard first. They did not appear again and Jim knew they were hiding on their way back to Star Ranch. At four o'clock they drove into Grand Junction, which was consider- ably larger and busier than Green * "River, "Barnes, here we are," aid Jim. "This is a metropolis, compared to Green River." "Fust I've been home fer long," re- joined Barnes. "I'll take care of the team at my paw's." Barnes drove off down the road and Jim leisurely entered the lodging house, which, it<turned out, was run by a buxom woman, who made herself agreeable. She was loquacious, and very shortly Jim gained the surpris- ing information that no cattle herds had passed through Grand Junction this week. After supper Jim turned in early. Awakening early he got up and leisurely shaved and dressed, paying more than usual attention to his ap- pearance, He wes there to escort an English girl fifty miles across the + wilderness to Star Ranch. One thing he was 'sure of, and that was that it would be vastly better for Miss Her- rick than if Hank Hays had been sent. Suddenly this fact struck Jim as sin- gular, Was he ary better than Hank Hays? After breakfast he went out and found a boy to shine his high-top boots and brush his dark, worn suit and his black sombrero. Presently, then, he encountered Barnes. "Howdy, boy. Did you kave a nice time home?" \ "Gee, 1 did," grinned the cowboy. "You sure look bright this\morn- ing." \ "Wal, you look kinda spick an' span yourself, Jim," drawled Barnes. "Funny how the idear of a gurl gets n feller." "WFdRy? You mean terrible, my friend. A woman is as terrible as an army approaching with banners." "Gosh, who'd ever dreamed you had scen inside a Bible?" exclaimed the cowboy. "It's funny, though, how I happen- ed to remember that. Now, Barnes, listen. This Miss Herrick might take me for an honest, decent fellow like you. But if I let that pass I'd be sailing under false colors. I don't do that. And as I con't very well tell her myself you must." "Tell her what?" queried Barnes, with a puzzled grin. "You know. . . . The kind of a man Iam." "1 sort of like you myself. So if you want me to tell her anythin' you must say what." "Well then, tell her about Herrick hiring all the desperadoes in Utah, and that I'm one of them. Make me put worse than Hays and Heeseman thrown together." "Shore. Thet's easy. the idear, Jim?" "I wasn't always an outcast. And I think it'd hurt me less if this girl was scared and repelled. If she took me for a real Westerner, you know, and talked and laughed--well, I'd go get powerfully drunk and probably shoot up Star Ranch. So you fix it for me, will you, Barnes?" "Shore, I'll fix it," replied Barnes, with a sly glance at Jim. "You jest give me a chanst when the stage rolls up. © She's due now. I'll run down an' drive the buckboard up." But, the stage did not show up for an hour--a long, nervous, dragging one for Jim Wall. Grand Junction was no different from other Western points remote from civilization-- everybody turned out to see the stage tome in. It was a gala occasion for the youngsters, of. whom there was a surprising number. The women on- lookers, Jim observed, rather hung in Ee stage came rolling ry But what's ° 'wp in a cloud of dust. The driver, 3 d old frontiersman, brought it oa i fine flourish, and ed out Junction! Half x passengers ng ; two of h last to leave the ) . vi y "Your brother sent us to meet you," went on Jim, indicating Barnes, who stood to one side. "He did not come!" The full, rich voice, with its foreign intonation, struck pleasantly upon Jim's ear. "No. There's much work at Star Ranch. But it's perfectly all right, Miss Herrick. We will drive you safely over before dark." CHAPTER IX. Jim could not see clearly through the tan veil, but he discerned well enough that big eyes studied him. "Didn't he send a letter or any- thing? How am I to know you men are employed by my brother?" "I'm afraid you'll have to take my word," replied Jim, gravely. "But, Barnes, here, he can prove his iden- tity. He lives in Grand Junction, and of course there are responsible people who will vouch for him." "Migs, the boss did send word," spoke up Barnes, touching his hat, and stepping closer he added in lower tone: "He told me last night you was to fetch what come by Wells-Fargo." "Then it is all right," she replied, "My luggage is inside, on top and tied on behind. The name is on every piece. Helen Herrick." "Il attend to the baggage, Miss Herrick," rejoined Jim. "Meanwhile Barnes will show you where to eat. It might rest you to walk a little. We have an eight-hour drive." "Thank you. I've been riding stead- ily for two weeks and I'm stiff." Whereupon Jim set about collecting the pieces of baggage marked "Her- | rick." It appeared that the stage had been loaded down with them. Nineteen in all! Manifestly Miss Herrick had come to stay. To find room for all of them in the buckboard was going to be a task. He set about this methodically, his mind at once busy and absent. By packing care- fully under the seats and on them too, Jim got the bags all in. He went to the store and bought rope to tie some of them on securely. "Wonder what she looks like," he thought! He had felt vaguely uncomfortable when she looked him over through that veil. His task completed, Jim stood beside the restless horses, waiting. And it seemed he was waiting for he kngw not what. Presently Barnes returned, wearing an excited grin, His eyes were im- portant, "Jim, I fixed it. an earful," he said. "Did you? Much obliged, cowboy.", "She took off thet coat an' veil, Lordy! Utah never seen the likes of her. Red lips, pink cheeks, hair like gold, an' eyes like violets! Jim, for a minnit 1 went plumb back on my gurl!--But shucks, thet's crazy. She asked me to set at table. did, She's just as nice an' free as Herrick. It was while we was eatin' thet I had the chanst to tell her about the mno- torious Jim Wall. Mebbe I didn't spread it on. An' she looked--gee, such eyes! She said, 'So Bernie Her- rick sent a desperado to be my escort? How perfectly rippin' !'--Honest, Jim, thet's what she said. So I shet up pronto. . , . When I jest come away she said she'd walk 4 little in the orchard an' after goin' into the Wells- Fargo office she'd be ready." "Have you double-crossed me?" queried Jim, suspicious of this boy. "You were to make me out low-down." Jim, honest, if thet gurl ain't scared to death of you she's a new ome on me," declared Barnes. But there was fun and evasion in hig keen, hazel eyes. Somehow he had failed to fol- low instructions. "I'll go in the Chink's here and get a bite to eat. You watch the horses." Upon his return Jim espied Miss Herrick emerging from the yard of Mrs. Bowe's lodging house, She car- ried the linen coat on her arm, and without it did not appear so tall. She had a wonderful 'step, a free, swing- ing, graceful stride, expressive of health and vitality. © She did not look slender, as in the long ulster, but superb, broad of shoulder, She wore a half-length coat over her brown dress. It had a collar of dark fur which presented vivid contrast to her exquisite complexion, The veil was tucked back and now permitted sight of a wave of shining, golden hair. At a little distance her eyes looked like great, dark holes set in white. But as she approached Jim saw that they were violet in hue, warm, beautiful, fearless. "Are we ready to go?" she asked, gayly. "Yes, if you have seen the Fargo people," replied Jim. "I have it in my satchel," she re- turned, indicating the half-hidden re- ceptacle urder her linen coat. Jim tried to interest hi satchel because he was in robbers, but it.did not work: ly he had a murderous desire Hays.
