She rose three steps and
pdised again. "What does it
matter7 I am only Gay That
cher. I have seen some of the
world—and I hope to see
more. I love adventure— al
most as much as you do. Mr.
Woolfridge. But I rather think
[ disagree with you about the
relative qualities of evil. You
see, I was brought up strictly
orthodox. And the training
still endures."
"I am interested to hear you
say it. You show me a great
many different peepholes of
yourself—all very attractive,
but none of them more than
a hint. What of the future?"
"The future,” replied Gay,
for once quite sober, "is as
much a mystery to me as to
you. I content myself with
doing what I must do. And
that is, making a living.”
He bowed. "I bid you good
night. Ysabel has lighted the
fire in your room. We have
many things to talk about in
the future.”
She looked down with that
quizzical, half-humorous
glance so much a part of her.
"My dear sir, how long do you
think I am staying here?”
“I wish and I hope,” said
William Wells Woolfridge with
extraordinary fervency, “that
It be forever.”
She went on up and into her
room without answer. Wool
fridge kept his eyes on the
landing for a few moments,
then turned to a desk in one
coi’ner of the vast room. He
took a cigar and shuffled be
fore him three different sheets
of paper. Each of these bore
the same letterhead—that of
the power company down
territory. Each was brief, each
doubtful and suggesting com
plications. Woolfridge reread
them, agile mind building up
meanings between the words.
And at last he rose and
warmed himself by the fire,
rocking to and fro on his heels.
*:‘It will go through,’ said he.
“I will put it through one
means or another. I am not to
ae stopped. Not by anything,
legal or not What is legality,
anyhow? I am committed to
this thing. I will not go back.”
In her room Gay turned out
the light and from her pillow
watched the cheerful running
of the _ fireplace flames.
Drowsiness immediately over
took her. “I think,” she told
herself, “that William Wells
Woolfridge is one of the most
dangerous men I have yet met.
And the danger of him is that
he conceals “himself so well. I
wonder if he stops short of
the commandments? Gay, my
dear, you wiggle out of this
quickly. Wolf’s Head is a poor
place for you.” She dropped
asleep, thinking not of Wool

Inside the steep face of the
canyon wall, and with a ledge
no more than four inches wide
holding him against a sheer
drop to death, Jim Chaffee
passed through those thunder
ing, crashing moments of
ordeal and torture. He was
surrounded all at once by the
crush and bellow of a herd
going to its doom. This mass
swept out of the darkness to
right and left of him. The
brutes shot directly over the
top of his head, pitching far
into the maw of the gorge.
Nothing could stop the force
of that flight; nothing could
divert it now. Sprays of sand
and rock skimmed his back,
and all that protected him
from being struck and torn
loose by those scudding, flail
ing hoofs was the insecure
outcrop of lava substance
above him. Even so, a breaking
away of the outcrop by the
tremendous pressure exerted
upon it might happen at any
Instant; a chance hoof might
A Speeding-Up Program
From Philadelphia Ledger
The Pennsylvania railroad hopes
to gain two Important ends by
talcing advantage of the low prices
of commodities and the efficiency
of labor to speed up its extensive
construction operations so that the
work now in progress upon the
electrification of its line between
New York and Washington and up
on its terminal improvements shall
be completed in two and a
years instead of in four as origin
ally intended. It will thus put itself
in a position to meet the demands

plunge down and knock his
feet clear of the ledge. He
faced eternity while the roar
and the confusion swelled to
an indescribable pitch and his
brain grew giddy from the
strain of it.
Far down he heard the
wailing of animate flesh; he
had the sensation of a vast
waterfall rushing over the rim.
All muscles were growing
numb from the pressure he
placed upon them. Where was
the barb wire that had been
on the fence posts earlier in
the afternoon? At this very
spot he had spread the strands
apart to let himself and Gay
Thatcher through. Cattle
stench was in his throat, and
a stumbling brute fell so close
to him that he got the impact
of wind breaking against the
carcass. He no longer was able
to command his fingers, no
longer able to feel the strain
of them against the rock. In
that second of black despair
when he was about ready to
give up, the last member of the
herd capsized and hurtled
down with a grunt and full
throated bawling. And then it
was over, and a queer, op
pressed silence settled along
the dusty earth. He started to
haul himself out and was ar
rested by voice.
“Got ’em all?”
“Yeah. Every last pound o’
flesh.”
Riders were moving within
ten feet of Chaffee. He heard
the rasp of leather and the
jingle of chains. A match
broke the darkness, but he
was in too cramped a position
to be able to look above the
outcrop.
“Cut that out! Fincn me
match, yuh fool!”
“What’s the difference?
Shucks—”
“Which one o’ you addle
brains fired that shot?”
Jim heard denial come from
a number of throats. There
could be no mistaking the
voice of the questioner. That
only from the immense barrel
of Theodorik Perrine.
“Well, by Jupiter, somebody
fired it!”
“Reckon Chaffee come back
from Woolfridge’s in time to
get mixed up with the herd?”
“I shore would like to think
he was takin’ his last drink o’
water now,” growled Perrine.
“But we ain’t gettin rid o’
Chaffee that easy. Some o’ you
dudes is lyin’ to me. When I
find out who it is I’ll strip
said party and cut my mark.
Didn’t I say no shootin’? We
ain't advertisin’ this.”
“Nobody in this outfit fired
a shot.” That, Chaffee decided,
was Sleepy Slade. Sleepy was
the only man in Perrine’s
gang able to talk back. “Let’s
sift around and see if we can
corral Chaffee.”
“We’re goin’ to get out of
here,” said Perrine. “It’s work
aplenty for one night. I got
orders to be humble about it.
I got orders not to get in a
personal fight with Chaffee,
and I don’t want none of you
gents to kill him afore I get
directions to do it myself.”
“I’ll bet plenty pesos he ain’t
far off,” grumbled Sleepy
Slgde. “Let’s look, anyhow/’
** “Shut up. Sleepy. I’m run
nin’ this gang. I’m obeyin’ in
structions until I get a good
crack at him when nobody’s
lookin’. Come on. Back to
| home. Stretch out.”
They galloped away. Chaf
fee raised one half-paralyzed
arm and hooked *t over the
rim. Then he raised the other.
And there he hung for a long,
doubtful moment until the
cramp wore out of his hands.
He pulled himself upward and
back to safety, and fell flat
as his muscles and nerves,
stretched to the point of
breaking, began to jangle and
shake as they had never done
in twenty-seven years.
n wuuia have Dioken u
I lesser man—broken him for
all time. But at the end of
! five minutes Jim Chaffee sat
! up and rolled himself a cigaret,
shielding the flare of the
match in his palms. The light
wavered a little, which made
him swear softly. “I never
! thought anything could do
that. But I’m here to tell the
universe and every part and
parcel thereof I ain’t ashamed
of these shakes. Don’t know
when just bein’ alive felt so
all-fired good.”
He relished the smoke as he
never had relished another.
The cold, sharp night fog
penetrated his clothes and
quickly chilled him. Still he
kept his place on the hard
ground, lungs reaching out for
the pungent air, looking up to
the unfathomed sky. ‘‘I ought
to be plumb glad I’m in a
shape to feel cold. So Theo
dorik’s got orders not to kill
me unless it’s done private and
secret. Huh. Wonder who he’s
takin’ orders from? There’s
another item that comes under
the head of useful informa
tion. I might make a guess. If
I did I might be wrong. But
sure as the Lord made little
green apples there’s one man
or one outfit that’s tryin’ to
get a corner on Roarin’ Horse i
real estate. And usin” Theo
dorik to hurry up the process.
What happened to the bob
wire around here?”
He spoke mildly, as if he
discussed a subject of no
great interest. The manner
was only a cloak. Deep within
Jim Chaffee the fires were
burning brighter and hotter.
There was being developed a
tremendously harsh anger in
the man—an explosive, savage
temper that ripped at the
barriers he placed against it.
Chaffee knew this state of
heart and mind. Once or
twice before he had struggled
with it, half ashamed and half
afraid of the consequences
ensuing from it. Reason and
discretion alike abandoned
liim when that temper gripped j
him, and he was apt to do :
things of which he was not
proud. He hated to lose con
1 trol of his actions, no matter
how just those acts might be.
So he asked himself soft and
serene questions. And in the
end rose to inspect the fence.
There was no fence. Not
even posts for a hundred yards
along the rim; the resistless
sweep of the doomed cattle
had carried all things away.
But progressing another hun
dred yards he found posts
intact, with the strands of
wire clipped off them. And ap
parently thrown into the can
yon, for he could find no trace
of the wire. This cutting had
gone on for almost a quarter
mile either way from his
point of investigation. Theo
dorik Perrine’s gang had done
it thoroughly and swiftly
sometime beyond midafter
noon.
“They must’ve been cached
in a gulley around here,
watching Gay and me,” opined
Chaffee. “Must’ve kept pretty
close tab on all my meanderin’
back and forth. I’ll give Theo
dorik ample credit. And he will
pay interest on that credit,
likewise.” He let himself go.
then and there. “That damned
1 bull-necked mountain of low
down crookedness! Nobody
but a man with the butcherin’,
j slashin’ instincts'of a muderer
I would throw all them cows
over the brink. He’s been ;
growin’ ugly five years, just
waitin’ for somebody to tip i
him on over into blood- !
lettin'. Theodorik, if you don’t
die sudden I’ll have to brace
you.”
He steadied himself. Yet he
remembered that his horse
outfit had also gone into the
chasm he saw red again. The
Stirrup S quarters lay five
miles distant and thither he
turned. An hour and ten
minutes later he reached the
ranch porch to find Miz Sat
terlee quite alone. The weary
tramp had not improved his
state of mind; rather it had
served to enrage him the more
and to crystallize his deter
mination to close with Theo
dorik and settle the account.
“Where's the boys?’*
“Mack heard a rumor about
rustlers bein’ down in the
alkali flats,” said Miz Satter
lee. “So he took the crowd and
went over there.”
“/eah, that’s another angle
Theodorik doped out to make
himself safe,” grunted Chaf
fee. He moved along the steps
and Miz Satterlee had a mo
ments view of his face as it
met the outthrust light.
“Jim Chaffee—what on
earth—1”
“Accident,” said Jim, reach
ing for his brown papers.
“Theodorik Perrine cut a lot
of wire off our canyon fence
and run all the lower bench
stuff into the brink. Ma’am—
I hate to tell you that.”
Miz Satterlee said nothing
for many long moments. Chaf
fee expected to hear a vigor
ous and bitter appraisal of
of Perrine. He was mistaken.
“I knew this was coming
soon enough,” said the mis
tress of Stirrup S very gently.
“I’m sorry about the cattle—
but I’m a great deal more
sorry to think what it means
to you and the outfit, Jim
There will be blood-shed. J
hate to think of that. I believe
I’d rather sell out than have
any of my boys brought home
injured. Jim, where are you
going?”
Her question stopped him
a yard or so removed from
the porch. “I’m going to gel
a fresh horse and saddle
ma’am.”
“To do what at this hour
of the night?”
“To hunt Theodorik Per
rine, ma’am,” said he, rage
shaking the words in his
throat. “To find Theodorik
Perrine and Sleepy Slade and
the seven other prowlin’,
slinkin’ yella dogs that run in
his pack!”
“What will you do when you
find them, Jim?” She was still
speaking in the same quiet,
sad manner; and she seemed
to be trying to bring him out
of the fury that clouded the
cool and shrewd judgement of
the man.
“I don’t know—yet,” he
muttered.
“I know,” said Miz Satterlee,
talking with more energy.
“You will be killed. Jim, you’re
outside of yourself. Stay here
until you cool off. What can
you do alone against them? I
depend on you—don’t go back
on me. I know—I know how
you feel. But I will not allow
you to be killed. What will
happen to Stirrup S then?
There is no other man I can
trust—nobody else big enough
to hold it for me. Jim—”
“Yeah. Wait until I cool off.
Wait until Perrine is out of
reach. Let him think he’s
gettin’ away with this. Let
whoever’s payin’ him to rustle
and kill think he’s gettin’
away with it. No. They’ve got
to be smashed! They’ve got to
be hit sudden and hit hard!
Supposin’ we let ’em alone
until to-morrow. Then you’ll
say to let ’em alone until the
day after. All the while they’re
gettin’ bolder and bolder. And
some night our barns go up in
smoke, and they rake the place
with lead. The rest of our stock
is rustled. No, ma’am. I’m goin’
now, and I’m goin’ to do
somethin’!”
“Jim, you can’t—”
“Miz Satterlee, I never have
gone against your husband’s
word, nor your word. But I’ve
got to do it now. Sure, I plenty
understand it’s all against
reason to trail out alone. But
Theodorik’s got to have the
fear of God planted in him.
And I want him to know I
ain’t afraid. I’ll bend that
gent’s neck and make him
humble. If I don’t nobody in
Roarin’ Horse is safe. Remem
ber that.”
He hurried away. She called
to him. He didn’t answer. Out
in the corral he roped one of
his string, a fresh, tough paint
pony, and he got a spare
saddle and bridle from the
bunkhouse. He was up and
spurring away, hearing Miz
Satterlee send a last call after
him.

In clinics and hospitals tend to pay
more rather than less their just

I A survey of six Chicago hospP*’*

undue amount of their income for
medical expenses. Only 4 per cent
of the patients were in a position to
pay a greater share.
