SYNOPSIS
Sleepy Cat. desert town of the Southwest,
is celebrating the Fourth of July. Jane Van
Tambel, beautiful daughter of (Jus Van Tam
bel, hated owner of (iunlock ranch, has arrived
from the East for the first time. She watches
the Frontier Day celebration in company with
Doctor Carpy, crusty, tender-hearted friend
of the community. Henry Sawdy of the Cir
cle Dot ranch, tricked in a fake horse race
the day before by Dave McCrossen, foreman
at Gunlock, plans revenge. He enters Bill
Denison, a handsome young Texas wrangler,
in the rodeo which McCrossen is favored to
win, and lays heavy bets on him. Unknown
to the crowd, Denison is a champion horse
man. McCrossen and the young stranger tie
in the various events. Denison then drops a
cigarette carelessly. Racing down the track
full tilt, he picks up the cigarette. The ver
dict goes to Denison when McCrossen refuses
to attempt the stunt. Entreated by the crowd,
Denison agrees to perform another trick. Jane
Van Tambel is asked for her bracelet and
throws it on the track. Just as Denison rides
to pick it up a yell from Barney Rebstock,
a McCrossen henchman, scares the pony, near
ly costing the rider his life. Gun play is pre
vented by the intervention of Doctor Carpy.
Back on Gunlock ranch, after two years in
Chicago, because of her father’s illness, Jane
gets lost riding in the hills and meets Deni
son, now a neighbor, who guides her home.
Not knowing her identity, he speaks bitterly
of Van Tambel. She tells McCrossen who
brought her home and he denounces Denison
as a cattle thief. Later she asks Doctor Carpy
why her father ii, unpopular and he tells her
it is because of Van Tambel’s ruthless and
unscrupulous character. McCrossen tries to
woo Jane, but is sharply rebuffed. Once again
she loses her way in the hills and meets Den
ison. On impulse she gives hifh her bracelet
for guiding her home. Their interest in each
other growing, she reveals her identity to
him.
CHAPTER V—Continued
— B—
laughed his dry little laugh.
“Well 1” he exclaimed benevolently.
“You did pick a real outsider, didn't
you? What did you think of the brute?”
In her confusion, Jane hesitated
‘Why—l thought him not had at all,”
she declared with spirit. What do you
think of him?”
“Why, to speak Just offhand, Jane,
I’d say Bill Denison had his enemies;
but I think he’s about as square and
open-and aboveboard a young fellow
as lives in the hills. I don't suppose
any of your father’s following would
agree with me.”
“He struck me, too, Doctor, as just
such a man,” interposed Jane iio
pulsively.
"What do you know about things
like that?” asked Carpy jocularly.
“You’re just a kid! He might be a
horse thief for all you could tell, girl.”
Jane drew herself up. “Don’t be so
fcure about every girl’s being a fool —
some or them might fool you! He
told me he used to work at Gunlock.
What was the quarrel between him and
Father?”
Dr. Carpy laid his cigar on the edge
of the table and braced himself. “It’s
a kind of long story,” he began, not
knowing exactly how to tackle a deli
cate subject.
“I’ve lots of time,’’ remarked Jane
disconcertingly.
“To begin with, your father was al
ways a grabber, Jane. Probably
eouldD’t help It —Just built that way.
1 suppose that hurts your feelings?”
The girl winced a little. “Whether
it does not, Doctor, I want to
hear both sides, and I know you are
honest. Go ahead, please.
Her appeal was Dot unheeded.
“You’re a kind of surprise, Jane,”
continued the doctor slowly, “for in
spite of the fact that the family name
is not very popular in this country,
everybody is talking about you—how
nice you are, and all that.
“Just to show you, Jane, how feel
ing has been: we've got an ex-sheriff
out here, one of the best and biggest
hearted meD in the mountains. He's a
character. He happened in to the
hotel the other day, and we got to talk
ing about you—now don’t blush or get
confused, girl—you’re entitled to a good
send-off, and I gave you a good one.
“Old Bill Pardaloe set where you’re
setting, with his feet on the table,
chewing tobacco, listening to every
word and never, all the time, saying
one word himself. When I got through,
l told him about you, and that you had
an aunt in Chicago who’d been out
here —a regular sport and no fancy
airs because she had a rich brother.
“Pardaloe—now I’m telling you this.
Jane, only to show you how some of us
felt —Pardaloe shifted his quid and
says, ‘Doc, It's kind of hard for me to
believe there’s one decent Van Tambel
in the world; I’m damned if I’ll ever
believe there’s two.' ”
“Oh, Doctor!"
“Don’t take It hard, girl. One thing
about these frontier men, they’re as
open-minded and simple as children.
Just a word or a smile from an up-’n’-
coming girl like you and you’ll have
’em eating out of your hand.
“Bill Denison worked awhiie for your
father; he was foreman at Gunlock
Your father thought Denison was just
about right He could do everything—
and do it well. He made so much
money for your father that he gave
him a share In the cattle, a tenth, 1
believe it was. When he quit, Denison
asked for a settlement on his share.
You-- father told him he didD't have ao
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1936
share. They went to law about It.
Denison got beat—lie didn't have any
thing but a verbal contract. So Bill
went back to live on his own ranch
next to the Reservation. It's small,
but has plenty of good water from a
big spring that makes it valuable.
Then he began running off enough
Gunlock cattle in small bunches—cat
tle he claimed belonged to him, any
way—to pay off what your father owed
him. There was a great hue and cry.
But Bill was too smart for the Gun
lock boys —privately, 1 think the In
dians helped Bill. They swear by him.
"So Bill was cussed by your father
as a rustler. It made cattlemen laugh,
thinking of your father’s own reputa
tion in that respect. And the old man
brought a lawsuit against Bill to oust
him from the little ranch, account bad
title. That suit is still pending in
tlie land office at Washington. Now
Aiat’s just about the story, Jane. If
I’ve hurt your feelings some, I didn't
do it because I wanted to. You asked
me to tell you the truth. Did I do
right or wrong?”
The shock of the doctor’s story so
humiliated Jane that she wanted only
to get back home and hide what she
felt to be the shame of her father
from everybody. She l*:d promised to
ride back the hill trail with Denison;
she felt she just couldn’t do tt. She
took a short cut home across the
desert, tier mystified and disappoint
ed admirer, after lingering patiently
in the hills till dusk rode into town
only to learn at McAlpin’s barn that
Jane had taken her pony out early in
the afternoon.
It was a painful night. She realized
why the name she bore was so unpop
ular in Sleepy Cat.
Her depression bore her down; even
Quong saw that something was wrong.
He cooked special dishes to tempt
Jane’s appetite, but her appetite could
not be tempted.
“Why don’t you get out and ride any
more?” asked Bull Page one day. “You
haven’t been on a horse for two weeks
—just sit moping around the house,
eating nothing, talking nothing, just
“What Did You Think of the
Brute?"
reading and reading. Must be your
liver. Next time I’m in town I’ll buy
a bottle of Belcher’s Liver Regulator
for you.”
“Liver regulator I” laughed Jane
scornfully.
“Quong takes it, ,r urged Bull, quite
serious.
“I don’t need any liver regulator.
Bull. Just let me alone. I’ll be all
right’*
For another two weeks Bull was wor
ried. Then sullenly Jane relented.
She would take a horseback ride If
Bull would ride with her—not other
wise.
They started together. It was after
noon. The air was thick with a soft
haze that tempered the sun’s rays. The
trail led In and out of the thin pine
woods.
She began to think her nervous ap
prehension ot meeting Denison again
had been a wasted worry. Indeed, she
and her guide were homeward bound
within a mile of the ranch house when
both heard the clatter of hoofs behind
them. Jane would not have looked
around for a million dollars. Bull told
her there were two men coming up.
"Who are they?”
“Looks like Carpy and Bill Denison.”
Jane’s heart raced. However, this
seemed not so bad. Three men and
one woman were better than one man
and one woman. Carpy and Denison
approached together.
“Where are you riding to today, doc
tor?" asked Jane.
“Gunlock ranch.”
Jane showed surprise. “Who’s sick
at the ranch?”
"One of the boys,” said Carpy.
“That’s the first I’ve heard of It,”
exelaimed Jane. “Who is it?”
“One of the boys that got cut up last
night downtown, i sewed him up and
want to see how he Is. Nothing seri
ous. I guess,” said Carpy.
“Any news in town, doctor?” asked
Jane, though not In the least Interested
In Sleepy Cat news.
“Nothing but the brush fires up
North. This whole country’s dry as
tinder. 1 hope the winds will keep ’em
up North. What do you hear from
your father?” asked the doctor In re
turn.
‘Oh, he’s better,” said Jane. “He
talks about coming home pretty soon.
“Well, that’s news,” commented Doc
tor Carpy, noncommittally. “He's got
a wonderful constitution, that man,”
thinking to himself that It was much
too good. “How have you been your
self, girl?"
“Oh, I’m just fine, doctor.”
“Rarin' to go, eh? Come on, girl, IT*
race you through this pine belt.”
Jane saw her chance to escape an
uncomfortable situation, for Denison
hadn’t said a word. She dashed gayly
ahead and outran Carpy. But Denison
followed her, overtaking her and rid
ing alongside.
The spurt couldn’t last forever,
though Jane prolonged it to the best
of her ability. She wondered whether
she had jumped from the frying pan
into the fire; she was alone now with
Denison.
When she slackened her pace, out of
breath, her cheeks were aglow.
“I wouldn’t push that pony of yours
too hard,” suggested Denison inciden
tally. “He’s a nervous critter.”
“Oh, he’s all right,” said Jane lightly,
“but it does shake one up, doesn’t it?”
she exclaimed, panting a little.
“It does,” agreed Denison. “But I got
my real shakeup wheo I spied you on
the trait. I’ve been staking myself out
alone on ttiis trail every day for a
month or so, hoping to get sight of
you."
“I tiaven’t felt much like riding late
ly.”
“1 was afraid you were sick. I
watched for the doctor coming out, but
I didn’t see him. 1 used to ride uj
Gunlock Knob every day or two to see
if I could see of you.”
"I wish you wouldn’t do such things.
Where is Gunlock Knob?"
“It’s that peak over by the spring.
It’s really on your father’s ranch, I
guess, but I'm always careful not to
run into any of your men.”
“I’m sorry, but you mustn’t look for
me any more —please don’t." She
glanced at him firmly as she spoke.
To Denison she bad never looked so
lovely.
“Why?" he demanded. "Have I —’’
“You haven’t, but 1 have—l guess
that’s ttie way to put it. 1 mustn’t see
you any more. I don't expect to re
main in this country very long, any
way.”
“What have I done, Jane?”
“Nothing, nothing.”
“Somebody’s beeD telling lies about
me,” lie declared with some bitterness.
“No.”
“If you'd tell me what they are, 1
could answer them.”
“I said, no! No one has talked
about you.” His sudden intensity
frightened Jane. She burst into tears.
“Now I’ve made matters worse!” he
exclaimed penitently. “I didn’t mean
to scare you, Jane. I guess my bark’s
worse’n my bite. But it makes me
wild to think I’ve been lied about to
you.”
“You haven’t,” sputtered poor Jane.
“Don’t you believe me when I say no
body’s been talking about you?"
•‘Please excuse me, then. 1 do be
lieve you. But if you'd give me a
chance to, I’d be willing to tell you
every mean thing I've done in my life —
and leave it all to you. Don’t con
demn me without a hearing—that’s all
I ask,"
"Nobody Is condemning you. I’m
only, if anything, condemning myself."
“For what?” he demanded.
“For ever coming to this country at
all, if you must know,” she declared In
angry desperation.
“But, Jane, that doesn’t sound rea
sonable,” protested her companion.
"I can’t help that,” she said petu
lantly. “I wish I’d never seen this
country. And I’m going to leave it, the
very first minute I get a chance. Don’t
see me any more. I don’t want to see
anybody till I can leave here and for
get everything."
"Just as you say, Jane. This is
some trouble I don’t know about,” he
said.
“But if I can’t see you any more,
Jane, please remember that wherever
you are, here or ten thousand miles
from here, I love you.”
Jane got home thinking of how
wretchedly she had handled the sit
uation with Denison.
It proved to be her foreman, Mc-
Crossen, who had been cut up In a
gambling quarrel.
Jane kept Doctor Carpy for supper,
and that evening she held him as long
as she could. She felt down In the
depths.
When he started for town, Jane
walked out in the moonlight with him,
talking and clinging to his hand. When
he mounted, she still asked questions
to keep him talking and kept his hand
in hers.
“Jane,” he said, "there’s something
hurting your mind, not your body. Do
you want to tell me, girl?”
“Not tonight, doctor.”
“Sometime, maybe—come to me Just
the same as if 1 were your father.
You are a lovely young girl, Jane.
With what God has given you, you
can make or break any man in the
world. Use your power mercifully.”
Her face fell against his hand. He
felt on It the warmth of her tears.
“Mustn’t worry, my child. And if the
load, whatever It is, gets too heavy—
you know where to bring It,” he add
ed, wheeling away.
She had promised Doctor Carpy to
ride every day. and while attending
the wounded man he kept close tab
on her, but she avoided the main
trails and kept to the hills near the
ranch house. Carpy brought little
news from Sleepy Cat, but he spoke
of the forest fires north of town.
“I hope we shan't be bothered here,"
said Jane.
“No danger here unless they cross
the river. You haven’t much timber
on the east ranch. There’s none to
speak of over on the range. But you’ve
got a lot scattered around here in the
hills. If it should get down into the
reservation timber, there would be
hell to pay."
