CHAPTER XIV. 10 Ollly Louise Gets a Surprise FRIGHTENED? worried, sick at heart bocauso her. crowding doubts nm ensptclons hnd suddenly de veloped Into blnck certainty Just when Hhe hnd thought them dend forever, Billy Louisa rode up tho narrow, rocky corgc. She hnd coino to have n vogue- comprehension of tho tempta tion Ward 'must have felt. She hnd come to ncccpt pityingly tho possibility that tho canker of old Influences hnd eaten more deeply than appeared on the Mirfacc. She had sot herself etnnrhly beside him as his friend, who would ' help him win back his self respect She felt euro that ho must suffer terribly with that keen, analyti cal mind of his, when ho stopped to think ut nil. IIo hnd no warped ethics wlu-rewlth to case his conscience. She knew ills Ideas of right and wrong were as uncompromising as her" own, end If he stole cuttle, ho did It with his oyos vIdo open to tho wrong ho was doing. And yet "Thai's bad enough, but to try nud fnslrn ovldenco on someono else!" Billy Louise gritted her teeth over tho treat hory of It. She believed ho had done that very thing, now could she help It? She had seen tho corral and had seen Ward ride away from it In tho dusk of tho evening; or sho be lieved alio hnd seen him, which was tho narao thing. And sho knew what lay lichliid 'him. Was his version of the past after all tho correct one? MJght not tho purngraph sho had bin-nod been nothing more than the truth? Billy Louise fought for him; fought with her stern, youthful Judgment which wan go uncompromising. It takes yearn of clo3o contact with llfo to give one n sure understanding of hu man yyr-'-oss nnd human endeavor. At thh . .d, when Bluo would have crnsxed and taken tho trail home, Billy Loulso reined him Impulsively tho other way. Until that Instant sho hnd not Intended to seek Wnrd, but once her Cugers had twitched tho reins ngnlnst ttliWa neck, sho did not hesl tute; sho did not even argue with her self fjlie Just glanced up tt tho sun. Baw that It wob not yet noori so much may happen in two or three hours! and (tent IJIuo up tho hill at a lope. SI'O did not know what sho would flo or what sho would soy when she saw Ward. Tho two marcn fed dlRplrltcdfy nt tho lowest corner of tho Add, their hair rough with erposuro to' tho win ter winds and Uio storms, their ribs showing. With all tho hay ho had put up. Ward might at lea3t keep his horses In better shape, Billy Louise censured, as aho passed them by. Frrther along, Billy Louise heard n welcoming nicker and turned her head. Hero caino Rattler, thin-flanked and rough-coated, trotting down a shallow guilt j to meet Blue. Tho two iinrnc.t chummed together whenever Wnrd was at tho Wolverine. Billy Loulsoj pulVd up nnd waited till Rattler i reached her. IIo and Blue rubbed .nor,i s, und Blue laid back his earn and sho-.k his head with teeth bared, in playful pretense of anger. Rattler kicked up his heels In disdain at tho threat nnd trotted alongside them. BH'y Louisa rode with puckered eye brows. Ward might neglect his stock, hut hq would never neglect Rattler like this. And he must bo at homo, alnce hero wus his horse. Or elso . . . Sho ntruclc Blno suddenly with her rein-ends and went clattering up tho trull whero the nnow lay In shaded, crusty patches rimmed with dirt. Tho trail was untracked save by the looso stock, Where was Ward? What had happened to him? She looked again at Itatller. There was no sign of re cent saddle marks along his side, no tclltnlu Imprint of the cluch under his belly. Whero was Wnrd? B'lnd, unrcnwnlng terror filled Billy Loiil2e. She struck Blue again nnd plunged into tho ley creek crossing near tho stable. She stopped thcro Just long enough to seo how empty end desolnto It was, and how tho iliorccn and cattlo hn' huddled against Its sheltering wnll out of tho biting wlndu; and how tho door was shut nnd fastened so that they could not get in. Sho opened It and looked In, nnd qjiut It again. Then aho turned and ran, whlto-faced, to tho cabin. AVhero wps Ward? What had hap pened to Ward? Thief or honest mnn, treacherous or true what had hap pened to hltn? Billy Louise saw tha doorstep banked over with old, crusted snow. Her heart gave a Jump and stopped still. Sho felt her knees shako under her. Her fncu tscemed to pinch together, the flesh cllnrlng clouo to the bones. Her w'mlo being seemed to contract with tho deadly fear that gripped her. It was Itko that chill morning when she boil crept out of her cot and gono over to rnommle's bed aud hud lifted mom rate's hand that was hanging down. . . . Kim cauio to herself; sho was run ning up the creek, away from tho cabin. Running aud stumbling over rocks, nnd getting tripped with her rlOing skirt Sho stopped, as soon as Hhe realized what sho was doing; alio vtopped and stood witii her hands pressed hard against each side of her RANCH A tale cf the wild outdoor life of pioneer days that called forth all the cour age and resourcefulness of men and women inured to danger and hardship face, fotcing herself to calmness again or at least to sanity. She had to go back. She told herself so, many Umcs. So Billy Loulso went back to the cabin, slowly, with shaking legs nnd a heart that fluttered nnd stopped, fluttered nnd Jumped and stopped, and made her stagger as aho walked. Sho reached tho doorstep nnd stood there with her palms pressing hard against her checks ngaln. "You've got to do it. You've got toP sho whlsporoJ to herself commandlngly. Sho never doubted that Ward was lnsido. She thoucht she would Ami him dead lead nnd horrible, perhaps. No other solution seemed to fit tho circumstances. IIo was in there, dead. J It took' courage to open that door, I but Billy Loulso had courage enough to open It, nnd to stop lnsido and close I tho door after her. Sho did not look I lit anything In Uio cabin while sho did n, tnnijgii. sne kept her eyelids down so that she only saw tho floor directly In front of the door. Sho had a sense of relief that it looked perfectly nat ural, though dusty. "Throw up your bands I" camo hoarsely from tho bunk. Billy Loulso gasped and pulled her gun, nnd dropped crouching to tho floor. Also sho looked up. From her crouching position she looked into Ward's fever-wild eyes. He was sitting up In the bunk, nnd ho wus pointing his big forty-flvo at her relentlessly. "Get up from there I" ho ordered otcrnly. "Don't try nny gamo like that on me, Buck Olncy 1 dot up nnd go over and sit In that chair. I've got a frtw things to cay to you." Billy Louise somehow irrnnnod ihr truth, up to a certain point. Wnrd wan sick; ko sick ho didn't know her. Sho thought sho would better humor him. Sho got up and went and tat In the chair as ho direr -d. Ward, keeping tin jun pointing her way, sneered at her In a way that mado tho soul of Billy Louise crlmplo. She faced him blg-oycd, too amazed at tho chongo In him to feel nny fear mat lie would harm her. He had whls kern two Inches long. She wouldn't havo known him except for his hair and that waa terribly tousled; and his eyes, though they were wild aud angry. Hlo voice was hoarse, and whllo ho glared nt her, ho coughed with a hnrd, croupy resonance. "So you camo bock, did ynh?" ho asked grimly at last "Well, you didn't get a chanco to plug mo In tho back. How long did you lay up there on tho bluff Uils time, waiting to catch mo when I wasn't looking? I've been wish ing ru left that ropo so It would havo hung you, you 1" (Billy Loulso listened round-eyed to cortnln man sized epithets strnngo to her ears.) "I suppose you and Foxy and that halfbrccd havo been fixing up some more evidence, huh? You figure that I can't catch 'cm this time and work tho brands over, so they'll stand YCc, aud I'll B"t railroaded to tho pen. "Co You Camo Bade, Did Yuh?" Well, you've overplayed your hand, old-timer. I let you fellows dbwn easy, Inst time. I don't reckon Foxy object ed much to thoso few I turned back to him, nnd I don't reckon you did nny kicking when you found I'd cut tho ropo so It wouldn't hold your rotten carcass. You can't let well enough alone, .though. You thought you'd rnlso me, did you? You thought you'd come bock and try another whack at mo be hind my back. You knew hanged wall I wasn't tho klud of mau that would Jump tho country. You knew you'd find me right here, attending to my business llko I've always done. "But you'vo overplayed your hand. This tlmo I'm going to get you and Foxy and tho breed along with you. It was a rotten trick, running YO's over Seabeck'B brand. If I hadn't crught you in tho act, you'd hnve planted them cattlo whero all h 1 couldn't havo saved mo when they were found. If I hadn't caught you at It and run MIC monograms over tho wholo cheese, I I'd havo been up against It for fair So now you're going to get what's com- jff AT THE f&&m2 Ing to ynh. I won't tako nny chances on your not trying It again. 1'ia going to protect myself right "Yon throw that gun on the bed." (Billy LouIbo did so, her eyes still upon Ward's flushed face.) "Now, get down that tablet from tho shelf. Here's a pencil." Ho drew one from under his pillow and tossed It toward her. "Now you write tho truth nbout ail this rustling. It's a bigger thing than allows right In thla neighborhood. I know that And I know, too, that Foxy has been pulling down some on tho side. Ho never paid for all the stock that's running around vented and rebrnnded MIC. I'vo got that Blzed up. Pretty smooth trick, too; a heap better than working brands. He ought to have been satisfied with that but a crook nover Is satisfied. I knew he wasn't tho tenderfoot he tried to make out, and when I snw some of his stock and that gate fixed to ring a bell when It was opened, I knew he was a crook. But ho mado a big mistake when ho threw In with you, you "I wont you to write down the truth about that Hardup deal; who was in with you. I know, nil right, but I want It down on paper. And I want to know how long Fory's been In with you, nnd who's working the gamo on tho outside. Oct busy; wrlto It all down. I'll give you oil the time you need ; don't lenvo out anything. Dates and all, I want the whole graft. Don't try to get away. I'vo got this gun loaded to tho guards, and you know I'm aching for on excuse " He stopped and coughed again, hoarsely, rncklngly. Then ho lay quiet, except for his rasping breath and watched. Billy Louise, with the tablet on her trembling knees, protended to wrlto. From under her Inshes she watched Ward curiously. Sho saw his attention wnvcr, saw his eyes wander aimlessly about tho room. She sat very still and waited, making scrnwly marks that had no meaning at all. Sho saw Ward's fingers loosen on tho revolver, saw his head turn wearily on the pil low. He was staring out through tho window at the brilliant blue of the sky with the dazzling white clouds drifting llko bits of cotton to the north ward. Ho had forgotten her. CHAPTER XV. Tho Hookln'-Counh Man. BILLY LOUISE waited another nilnuto or two, weighing tho pos sibilities. Sho saw Ward's fin gers drop away from tho gun, but they remained close enough for a dancer- ously quick gripping of It again, if tho whim seized him. Still stirelv tn goodness. Ward would never cet ernzv , enough to hurt her I Perhaps her fem-! Inlne assurance of her hold on him. more than her courage, kept her nerves fairly uendy. She bit tho pencil ab sently, wntchlng him. Ward turned his head restlessly on tho pillow and coughed ngaln. Bllly I 'also got up quietly, went close to tho bed, and laid her hand on his fore head. His head was hot. and tho veins wero swollen and throbbing on his , temples. "Brnve Buckaroo got a hendache?" eho queried softly, stroking his tern jips Boothlncly. "Got the hookln' cough. too. Got every mensly thing ho-, can think of. E n got a grouch ugulnst I tho Flower of the Rnnch-oh 1" Her , voice was croonlnely soft nnd sweet, np If she were njurmurlng over a sleepy baby. ( Ward closed his eyes, opened them, nnd looked up Into her face. Ono s hnnd came up uncertainly nnd caught her fingers closely. "Wllhelmlna-1 mlnel" he snld, Inls hoarse voice ' His eyes cleared to sanity under her i touch. Billy Louise drew a small sigh of re- , lief nnd renched unobtrusively wtth her freo hnnd for tho gun. Sho slid It down away from his fingers, und when he still paid no attention, sho picked It up quite openly nnd laid It against tho footboard. Ward did not Bay anything, no seemed altogether I occupied with tho amazing reality of her presence. t "You've got a terrible cold ; and from I Uio looks of things, you'vo had It for ' about six months," snld Billy Louise. Her eyes went comprehensively about thnt end of tho cabin, with tho de pleted cracker box, tho half-emptied I boxes of peaches and tomatoes, nnd tho buckets thnt were all but empty of wnter. She was shocked at tho piti ful evidence of long helplessness. Sho did not quite understand. Surely ' Ward's cold had not kept him In bed so long. ; "Well, this Is no tlmo for mirth or laughter," sho said briskly, to hide how i close she was to hysteria, "slnco It I looks very much llko 'the morning i after.' First, we'vo got to tackle that fever of yours." Sho picked up a water pall and stnrted for tho door. As she passed tho foot of the bunk, j sho confiscated the two revolvers and took them outside with her. She had no desire to bo mistaken again for Buek Olney. ' When sho came back Ward's eyes were wild agnlu, and he stnrted up In bed nnd glared at her. Billy Lou lso laughed at him and told him to llo down like a nice buckaroo, and Ward, reculled to himself by her voice, WOLV obeyed. Sho got the washbasin and a towel and prepared to bathe his head. Ho wanted a drink. And when Bhe held a cup to his lips and saw how greedily ho drank, a HtUo Bob broke unexpectedly from her llp3. She gritted her teeth after It and forced a laugh. "You're sure a hard drinker," alio bantered nnd wet her handkerchief to lay on his brow. "That's tho first decent drink I've hod for a month," he told her, drop ping back to Uio pillow, refreshed to tho point of clear thinking. "Old Lady Fortune's still playing football with me, Wllllnm. I've been laid up with n broken leg for about six weeks. And when I got gay and thought I could handle myself agnln, I put myself out of business for n while, and caught this cold before I camo to and crawled back Into bed. I'm sure glad you showed up, old girl. I was getting up against It for fair." Ho coughed. "Looks U':o it." Billy Louise held herself rigidly back from any emo tional expression. She could not af ford to "go to pieces" now. She tried to think Just what a trained nurse would do, In such n case. Her hospi tal experience would bo of some use here, sho told herself. She remem bered reading somewhere that no, ex perience Is valueless, If one only ap plies the knowledge gained. "First," she said cheerfully, "tho pa tient must bo kept quiet and cheerful. So don't go Jumping up nnd down on your broken leg, Wnrd Warren; the nurso forbids it. And cinllc, If It kills you." Ward grinned appreciatively. SIek ns he was, he realized the gameness of Billy Louise ; what he failed to real ize was Uie gameness of himself. "I'm a pretty worthless specimen right now," he said apologetically. "But I'm yours to command, Blll-the-Conk. You're tho doctor." "Nope, I'm the cook, right now. I've got n hunch. How would you like n cup of tea, patient?" "I'd rather have coffee Doctor Wil liam." "Tea, you mean. I'll have It ready In ten minutes." Then she weakened before his Imploring eyes. "You really 1 oughtn't to drink coffee, with that fe ver, Ward. But, maybo If I don't make It very strong nnd put In lots of cream We'll tako a chance, bucka roo 1" "How much sugar, patient?" Billy Louise turned toward Jm wtth the to mato can sugar bowl In her hands. "None. I want to taste tho coffee, this trip." "Oh. all right I It's the worst thing yu con,(J think of, but that'll the way w,tn a Patient Patients always wnnt wiin i xney mustn't nave." "Sure get it, too." Ward spoke be tween long, satisfying gulps. "How's your other patient, Wllhelmliia? How's inomrale?" "Oh, Wardl She's dead mouimle's dendl" Billy Louise broker down un expectedly and completely She went down on her knees beside the bed nnd cried as she had not cried slnco sho looked the lost time at moiamle's still face, held In that terrifying calm. Sho cried until Word's excited mutter! :s varncd her that sho must pull herself together. "You bo R-stlll," sho commanded brokenly, fighting for her former Bafc cheerfulness. "I'm all right Pity yourself, If you'vo got to pity some body. I can stand my trouble. I haven't got any broken leg and hookln' cough." Sho managed a laugh then and took Word's hand from her hair nnd laid It down on the blankets. "Now we won't tnlk about things any more. You've got to have something done for that cold on your lung3." She rose and stood looking down at him with puckered" eyebrows. "Mommle would Bay you ought to havo a good sweat," sho decided. "Got any ginger?" "I dunno. I guess not," Ward mut tered confusedly. "Well, I'll go out and find some sage, then, and give yon enge tea. That's another cure-all. She did not spend all her time pick ing sago twigs. A bush grew at the corner of the cabin within easy reach. Sho went first down to the stable and led Bluo Inside nnd unsaddled him. Ward was lying quiet when she went In, except that ho was waving her handkerchief to and fro by tho cor ners to cool It. Billy Loulso took It from him, wot It again with cold water, nnd scolded him for getting his arms from uoder tho covers. That, sho said, was no nice way for a hookln'-cough mnn to do. Word meekly submitted to being cov ered to his eyes. Then ho wriggled his chlu free nnd dvmqnded thnt she kiss hltn. Ward was fairly drunk with hap piness becauso 61q was Uiore, In tho cabin. "Wnr,d Warren, you're a perfectly nwful hookln'-cough man 1 There. Now that's going to be tho only oac Oh, Wnrd, it lun't I" Sho knelt nud curved an arm around his fnco and kissed htm ngaln and ye again. "I do lovo you, Ward. I'vo becu a wcak-kuced, horrid thing, and I'm ashamed to tbo mlddlo of my bones. You're my own bravo buckaroo always always 1 You've done what no other man would tI : By B. M. BOWER do, and yuu don't whine about It; ant I've been weak and horrid; and I'll have to lovo you about a million yeora before I can quit feeling ashamed." Sho kissed him again with a passion of remorse for her doubts of him. "Are you through being pals, Wll helmlna?" Ward broke rules and freed an arm, so that he could hold her closer. "No, I'm Just beginning. Just be ginning right I'm your pal for keeps. But" "I lovo you for keeps, lady mine." Ward stifled another cough. "When aro you going to marry mo?" "Oh, when you get over the hookln' cough, I o'pose." Onco more Billy Lou ise, for tho good of her patient, forced herself Into safe flippancy that waa not flippant at all, but merely a tender pretense. "Now It'3 up to you to show mo whether you nio in any hurry at all to get well," sho sold. "Keep your hands under tho covers while I make somo tea. That fever of yours has got to be stopped Immediately to once." She went over and busied herself about tho stove, never onco looking toward the bed, though sho must havo felt Ward's eye3 worshipping her. She huntc'l through tho cupboards nnd found a bottle of turpentine; slr upy and yellowed with age, but pun gent with strength. She found soma She Went Down on Her Knees Beslda the Bed and Cried. lard In a small bucket and melted half a cupful. Then sho tore up a woolen undershirt she found banging on a nail and boro relentlessly down upon him. "You gotta be greased all over your lungs," she nnnounced with a mntter-of-factness that cost her something; for Billy Loulso's Innate modesty was only Just topped by her good sense. Ward submitted without protest while sho bared his chest and applied the warm mixture with a smoothly vig orous palm. "That'll Ox the hookln' cough," she salu, as sho- spread tha warm layers of woolen cloth smoothly from shoulder to shoulder. "How does it feel?" "Great," ho assured her succinctly, and wisely omitted any love making. "Will your game leg let you turn over? Because there's some dope left and It ought to go betweea your shoul ders." "The gamo leg ought to stand mora than that," he told her, turning slowly. "If I hadn't got this cold tacked onto me, I'd havo been trying to walk on It by now." "Better give It time sine you've been game enough to lie here all this whllo and take care of It I don't be lieve I'd havo had nerve enough for that. Ward." She poured rurpenUna and lard Into her palm, reached Inside his collar and rubbed it on his shoul ders. "Good thing you had plenty of grub handy. Bat It must havo been awful !" "It was pretty lonesome," he admit ted laconically, and that was as faz as his complainings went Billy Louise then poured the watci off tho Gogo leaves she hod been brew ing In a tin basin, carefully fished out a stem or wo, and made Ward drink every bitter drop. Then she covered him to tho eyes and hardened her heart against his discomfort, whllo she kept tho handkerchief cool on his head and between times swept the floor with n cnrefully dnmpened broom nnd wiped tho dust off things and restored tha room to Its most cheerful atmosphere of Uvablencss.
