Dad viewed his daughter with a

'He ain t ever said so." he re-
marked.
"And would you expect him to?
He's a guest."

'And I ve picked up considerable

•Oh. well. don t rub lt ln Dad."
"Ain t rudbin it In Ain t goin

Sally smned again and her glance
wandered to the crest of the graasy^
slope and seemed to go beyond tt.
'lt was awťully funny." she sald.
"but l was scared for a minuté. We
rode over as far as the second ridge;
I wanted hun to see i real piece of

he d never been )i\ a horše betore.
But he did pretty well. although the
sorrei was getting nervous from the
way his niouth was pulled."

served Dad.
"He wouldn t let me. He got tuad

And he wouldn i let me eatch the

then it took him another flve min-
utes to gei on l can t desertbe ex-
actly the way he did it. lt was Uke
shinning up. Ot course, he was pretty
well seratched and mussed, and his
temper was in a frtghtfui statě.''
"Any language'" asked Dad.
"No he was too busy. I think.
Cointng home he nearly feli off twice.
trving to ease himself ln the saddle.
But he never squealed. And he says
he s gomg out riding tomorrow morn-
ing He wou t make it, though. he'11
be too lame to move.'
Did nodded with understanding.
Any dude would be too lame to move
under euual circumstunoes. Vet he
was not entirely certatn that the
Wreck would fail to move. even
though too lame for he had a wav
of plavíng the game according to his
own rules.
'Til put on a house dress, I be-
lieve," said Sally.
"Sure." agreed Did. "Bob*3 here."
She paus^d for an instant, a look
of surprise in her eyes.
"When did he come* l didn't ex-
pect him untii tomorrow morning."
'He otiiiie a while back. He ain t
goin to be able to go with you to-
morrow. as near as l can make out"
1 Sallv frowned involuntanly, then
shrugged and oontinued her march
toward the house. Dad settled back
against the fence and resumed his
musing. Sallv would be mighty dis-
appointed if she did not get to the
tram tomorrow she was all packed
and expectant. But he knew that
she would not sav verv much she
was not much of a hand at complain-
ing. Still. it seemed. even to Dad,
that lt was too bad to postpone ev-
ervthing right at the last minuté.
He would not mind ridtng over with
her himself. but it was too long a
trail for people with twinges and
kinks. Sometliiies he wished the
ranch was a ilttle mite nearer the
railroad. But Sally nover even com-
plained about that.
There had been no railroad at all
when Dad Morgan e«me into the
range countrv. at least. none within
a couple of hundred nules or more
Now there was a main line north of
them. onh about thirty-five nules on
a good trail. Il seemed very near to
Dad when it flrst came but when
Sally besan going to school in the
East. and there were seasonal goings
and cormngs. with the necessity of

city and ranch. Dad realized that it
was not verv close. after all. So far
as he and Ma were concerned. that
niade no difference But Sally had
grown up. and she had an education,
and ihe knew the ways of plares far
beyond the range. and—well. Dad un-
derstood. Still. even Sally was quite
satistied with the range country. pro-
vided she was not quarantined there.
lt was not a verv targe ranch that
Dad Morgan surveyed through half-
squinted eves. nor was it a husy one.
The alr of idleness was everywhere

was simply a ranch taking a long
