thought you might have acquired the
habit during your travels abroad. In
that case, I should have been de
lighted to otfer you soma excellent
cigarettes from my bag."
Jumping up. tho girl laughed
brightly.
"Poor man! I understand at last.
You shall have tho cigarettes at
once."
"I am so sorry to trouble you, but
after such a memorable dinner "
"Yes, yes; I know!" she cried, as
sho vanished.
Stranlelgh listened for tho whistle,
but the first break in the sllcncp was
the coming of Miss Armstrong, hom
ing a box ot cigars In one hand, and
a packet of cigarettes In the other.
"Then you didn't call for help,
after all?" said Stranlelgh, a shade of
reproach in his tone.
"Oh, it was quite easy. By punch
ing tho bundles I guessed at what
they contained, and soon found the
cigarettes. Light up," she continued.
"I'll do tho talking," and Miss Arm
strong settled herself comfortably in
a chair opposite Stranlelgh.
"My father, as I've told you, is a
poor business man, and that Is why
I endeavored to acquire some knowl
edge of affairs. He has not been a suc
cess as a rancher, partly because wo
are too far from tho markets and
partly becauso he choso as cowboys
men who did not understand belr busl
and it came about that miners who
know him, and were out of work, ap
plied for something to do, and ho
engaged them as cowboys, until he
had half a dozen on his payroll.
These men were excellent as miners,
but useless as cowboys, and thus be
gan the gradual loss of my father's
money. It seemed, then, a dispensa
tion ot Providence that as he ram
bled over the western part of his
property he discovered signs of sil
ver, so ho and the cowboys took to
tholr old trade, and worked away
at the rocks until all the money was
gone."
rMD they really find silver?" asked
- Stranlelgh, interested.
"Oh, plenty of it," answered the
girl. "It Is evident they have opened
a very rich mine."
"Then whero is the difficulty?"
"The difficulty is the machinery;
thero is no capital to purchase it.
My father has tried to get the money
here. He enlisted the interest of Mr.
RIckotts, a lawyer In Bleachers, the
only rich man In the town. Rlcketts
came to tho ranch with a mining
engineer, and they examined tho
opening. Seemingly they were not
impressed with it, and Rlcketts ad
vised my father to go east and form
a company.
"My father explained his financial
situation, and Rlcketts, with appar
ent generosity, lent him five thou
sand on a note, payable on demand,
with the ranch as security. Rlcketts
gave my father the address of a law
yer In Chicago, who, ho said, would
bo of assistance to him. Tho latest
word we received from father is that
this lawyer, in ono way or another,
has annexed all the money. Father
telegraphed to Rlcketts for more,
which was refused, and then wo re
ceived word that he has left Chicago
on foot, determined to walk home,
since he had not even the money
left to pay his faro. We have no idea
where he is at present, except that,
ho is endeavoring to reach this place.
"Rlcketts at once took steps to fore
close on the ranch. He is apparently
quite within his legal rights, but
there are formalities to bo gone
through, and one of these Is tho ar
rival of tho sheriff to seize the prop
erty. That arrival tho men, headed
by Jim, are determined to prevent,
and now, perhaps, you can under
stand why you rode into danger when
you came from Bleachers this morn
ing." "Then tho mlno must bo a valuable
one?"
"I am sure it is; indeed, father
could make no mistake on that score.
He is an expert mineralogist."
"The position, after all, seems very
simple What you need, Miss Arm
strong, Is a change of creditors; a
creditor who is not in such a hurry
for his money. In other words, if
you could transfer that debt, you
would be out of Immediate danger
Would you allow mo to go to Bleach
ers to-morrow, and interview Mr.
Rlcketts?"
"Most decidedly not!"
"I have with me something more
than tho amount necessary to settle
with Mr. Rlcketts, so I think the
affair may bo arranged; you can go
to Rlcketts to morrow, and take up
tho note. But If the caso is as you
state it, Rlcketts will be reluctant to
part with the document. Is there
another lawyer In Bleachers?"
"There are two others."
"Well, get ono of them to go with
you, and make formal tender of tho
monoy."
Tho girl had reddened while ho was
speaking, and now she said, in tones
of distress; "I fear you completely
misunderstood my object in telling
you of my difficulties, Mr. Stranlelgh.
My object was not to borrow money,
but to explain why Jim Dean shot
at you."
"Oh, I understand perfectly why
you spoko so frankly, and I am much
obliged to you for doing so, but have
no hesitancy in accepting this money.
It is purely a business transaction,
and as you are a business woman, It
would be folly to reject an offer so
much to our mutual advantage. The
security is ample."
"That is true, Mr. Stranlelgh, but
I have no power, no authority, to
give this ranch as security. It be
longs to my father."
"Quito so yet you will receive
from Rlcketts your father's promis
sory note. That note you will hand
to me. All perfectly simple, you see."
The girl sat absorbed in thought
for some moments, then said:
"Very well, Mr. Stranlelgh: I will
take your money."
IT was several days later that Miss
Armstrong returned from Bleach
ers. Her first Interest was to satisfy
herself of tho patient's progress. He
had been getting on well.
"You are an admirable physician,
Miss Armstrong," he volunteered.
"Now let mo know whether you are
equally capable as a financier."
"I have failed completely," she
answered, dejectedly. "Mr. Rlcketts
has refused the money."
"Did you take another lawyer with
you 7"
"Yes."
"What did ho say?"
"Ho said Rlcketts had no right to
refuse, but a different question has
arisen. Tho guide who accompanied
you to the ranch brought back news
ot tho shooting. Rlcketts guessed at
once why you were shot at, and tho
sheriff has signed an affidavit, or
some such instrument, to show that
his life, and his men's lives, are in
danger If they go to seize the prop
erty, so this complication has been
overcomo by somo order from the leg
lslature, and the personal seizure Is
waived. The Bale Is announced to
take place In Bleachers two weeks
from to-day. Mr. Tlmmlns that is
tho other lawyer fears that Rlck
etts is within his rights in refusing
the money at this stage."
"This is all very interesting, Miss
Armstrong, but wo have a fortnight
In which to turn round."
"That is so," returned the girl, try
ing to speak hopefully, but Stran
lelgh saw she was deeply depressed.
"I am delighted," ho said, "for now
I shall have the pleasure ot trying a
fall with the estimable Mr. Rlcketts;
But tho eyes of tho young lord of
Wychwood twinkled, and then nar
rowed. Ho was In buoyant spirits at
thought of a battle, although none
would have guessed It except, per
haps, the astute Ponderby, and he
was absent.
