Bat etay dear of Cattle Kate's fringes for some day there's going to be the prettiest blowup ever seen In the cattle country of the Deep Heart hills--and Kate's going mile high on the explosion." "If you're so d--d bright as a aherlff why don't you busy yourself with trying to find out who stole that last bunch of steers from Conlan a month ago? The old man's half crazy with the loss. Yes--and that ninety head from Bossink--and the ones fun off Jermyn's range last year? It looks like there's plenty he-man stuff around Nameless to interest your keen powers or perception without picking on a woman." The sheriff waa tying his sack of purchases on behind his saddle and didn't look round. •I'll never find those cattle McKane --nor will anyone else--this xlde of cow-heaven." he said as he mounted, "but they, and their manner of disappearance, along with a few other things are all under that magnifying glass of mine. I think their ghosts will be in at,that blow-up." "That's rustler talk. Priced said the trader ahortly. Sure." returned Selwood as be rode away. That talk aet going In the eberlfr» mind a train of thoaght which was recurrent with him. which was forever traveling with him somewhere In his consciousness. Sometimes one thing set It gpfng. somMfllMn another. In (he twn>«ars air«MM& fussed of his term of office It had haan a matter of deep annoyance to fcha that he had not been able to put h|| |HMs on dhe mysterious rustlers who from time to time got away with stock up'ind down Nameless river. This unseen, baleful agency w*s bafiing as smoke. It struck here--and there--with a decisive clean stroke like the head of a killing hawk, and there was nothing to show the how and wherefore. Cattle disappeared from the range with a smooth magic which wa| maddening. They left no trace, nothing. It seemed ridiculous that ninety head of steers could be driven out of the country leaving no trail, but such had been the case. Selwood himself, with, a > picked posse, had trailed them into the river, and there they most have taken to themselves wings, for they had apparently never come out. To be sure Kate Cathrew was driving out her fall beef at the time, and the trampling band had crossed the river a hit below where the ninety head had entered the stream. That trampled crossing was the only spot for miles each wav where a cattle-brate could have left the water, for Selwood searched every foot with eagle eyes. The coincidence of time stayed with the sheriff doggedly, even though the Cathrew cattle, honestly branded, went boldly through Cordova and down the Strip, as the narrow valley beside Nameless was called, nnd thence oat to the railroad, three long days' drive away. And the smaller thefts--old man Con Ion's hunch and those of Jermj-n-- all lifted light as a feather. These had left not even a hoof murk. It was smooth stuff'--and It galled the sheriff, was a secret source of humiliation. He had heard a good many remarks about his own Inaction, though nearly all of the ranchers la the country were his friends. , But deep Inside himself he Isld s spiritual finger on the handsome, frowning-eyed woman at Sky Line and held it there. Sooner or later, he told himself, as he had told McKane, the steady rays of his searching glass would reveal In her the thing he knew was there. • This was not logic, It was Instinct-- a poor thing for a sheriff to hase his actions on. apparently, but Price Sel wood based hla thereon In unwavering confidence. And If he could have looked Into the living room at Sky Line that day he would have Jotted In his mental note book as correct, one premise--for the mistress sat again at her dark wood desk and reed a letter, and her face was well worth watching. The letter bore a New York postmark, and Its terms were sharp and decisive, almost legal, leaving no doubt of their meaning. • Thus they carried to her consciousness a clear presentment of antisfac tlon concerning the laBt shipment of cattle, and juat as clear an avowal of affection. Kate Cathrew's sharp face waa aaf fused with a light not meant for any •yes at Sky Line as she read and reread the sheets in her hands. At their concluding words--"and so think I shall be with you at the usual time"--her lips parted over her teeth In a slow smile which was the visible embodiment of passion, while her dark eyes became for a moment slumbrous with the same surging force. There was a man this woman loved. If ever a face spoke truth, aqd be was the writer of the letter. Though the scattered denizens of the outside world of Nameless knew nothing of this. It was covertly known at Sky Line. Every one of the hard-eyed band of riders knew It. with varying feelings, Minnie Pine knew It and old Josefa. Big Basford knew It and his red rimmed eyes glowed with the light of murder when he watched Kate sit on the veranda with I^awrence Arnold In the long summer days while the light drowsed down from the high blu«t vault and Rainbow cliff sent down Its prismatic colors shining afar over the slopes of Mystery. There was a look In the woman's dusky eyes that was plain as print--the hot. unsmiling. In fiammuhle look of untempered passion. Now she folded the letter, slipped It hack in Its envelope and put It away In a" drawer of the desk which she lockpd securely with a key on a ring that she took from a pocket in her neat outing skirt. The act was Indicative of Kate Cathrew's mode of life in her high domain. All things were ordered, filed and locked, so to speak, and she alone was the master. A little Inter she went out on the hroad veranda and sat down In the deep willow chair which rocked there, stirred fantastically by the stiff hreeze which swept in across the great hlne gulf of space between the peaks. Her eyes dropped down and down the wooded slopes of Mystery slanting beneath ber to the long green flats on Nameless, the equally long brown spaces of Nance Allison's tilled field. Sight of thst field was a harh In ber consciousness. It never failed to stir ber to slow and resurgent anger. It was an affront to her arrogant autocracy. a challenge and taunt.

"How do yon know?" aakad the ancient dame, weaving a basket la dim green grasses. "Because I heard what ahe aald to Caldwell." "You hear too much, An overloaded basket--breaks."

"What are you two talktn' about?" asked the slim boy whom Big baa> ford bad so nearly murdered that day on the porch, "always talkln' In that d--d native tongue. Why don't you learn white man's talk, Minnie?" The girl wheeled to him where, he leaned In the kitchen door, and ber comely dark face flushed with plea* ure. "Would you like me any better?" "Sure," he said, "make you aeem a little whiter anyway." There was cruelty In the careleaa speech, and It did not miss Its mark though Minnie Pine's dark eyea gave no sign. "The young-green-tree-wit h-the-rlstngsun- behlnd-lt may want to talk the white tuan'a tongue," said old Josefa grimly, Mbut she's a fool. All halfbreeds are. They reap sorrow." The boy laughed and his face came the nearest to wholesome youth of any at Sky Line. It still held something of softness, of humorous tolerance and good temper, as If not a II Its heritage of good Intent had been warped away to wickedness. His blue eyes regarded the big girt with approval, passing over her sleek black hair that shone like a crow's wing, her placid brow and unwavering dark eyes, her high cheeks and repressed thin lips. "I'll give you a klsa. tllnnla." he drawled, "for half that cream pia yonder." Minnie looked at the pie and at Joeefa, speaking swiftly. The old woman nodded. "If the mountain-stream wants la waste itself on the greedy Bands." she said, "who am I to counsel otherwise? Yonder Is the pie." Minnie crossed the clean*white floor and taking the pie from the window ledge where It sat cooling, divided It neatly. She fixed the two quarters on a plate from the cupboard and adding a fork, carried the whole to the boy. She .waa the embodiment of the spirit or womanhood alnce the world was--selling ber service to man for love. "Take it. Rod Stone." she said.

In 1886, when the firm's first boiling of soap was made at the original factory at Warrington, the output was 20 tons a week.
