Then rustlers wipe the range clean and Ankrom traces the leak to Mosc Hackett. the range boss. In a showdown, he beats Hackett to the draw Ratchford, the sheriff, seems to have guessed Ankrom's identity, but is biding his time.

Chapter 18 JEfee One afternoon when Ankrom rounded a bend in the dry wash he was following he came abruptly face to face with another rider-the golden girl, Betty. If he was surprised by this unexpected meeting, she appeared equally so. But Ankrom, having witnessed previous samples of her excellent acting, would have been willing to bet his last cent that she had somehow deliberately engineered this encounter. Her curls were tousled by the wind, for she persisted in wearing her hat looped by its chin-strap on the back of her neck. Yet he had to admit that she made a most enticing picture.

"How does it happen that you're still staying on at the ranch?" Ankrom inquired. "I'm suffered on Ratchford's orders. He forbade my leaving until after the solving of the mystery surrounding the death of Kelton Drean." "Then you admit the colonel's TSIT Raffle 1 "Sure--why not?

Perhaps when all this is oast I may." But he did not grab at the bait she dangled with that last sentence. He said, "What were you doing in that cabaret in Peso Pinto?" Her eyes clouded.

When she jpoke her words were low and vibrant, as though great feeling lay behind them. "If there was deception in the way I came to the Trones it was only in my association with Drean. It happens I lent myself to his plan when he approached me because it seemed to offer the' only possible escape from my environment.

An' I'm here to state those boys are experts. They're ridin' Trone beef out of this country in trucks--an' they're getting away with it. There's head work back of that. Drean was crafty in his way but he never had the brains for that. Drean, I shouldn't wonder, was just a two-bit pawn in a big-shot game." "You're thinking," she said "that Drean wouldn't have been interested in cattle.

Well, perhaps the man you think was behind Drean isn't interested in cattle, either." Ankrorn looked at her sharply. "Mebbe 1 he finally said. "Anyway, he's getting at Trone from all angles. The stolen cattle were all prime beef. First time I ever heard cheeks.
