WHISPERING ROCK
. by JOHN LEBAR
w o 0440-00-00 CHAPTER. 8
Ruth had backed to the door. As Bnavely ceased speaking, he slowly settled into bis chair; slowly the lngers of his right hand bogan to rub his forehead.
"I'll take the money," breathed Ruth, and ran out ox toe mom.
Bhe entered the adobe and stood for several minutes Just inside the door, her hand on the crib against the wall. She trembled so that she could hardly stand. Alter a time, she stepped beyond to the bed beneath the window and seated herself, chin on palm, her eyes on the strip of far holxson seen through the doorway. lie: lace was white and- the four fingers of the hand beneath her chin were pressed in a row against her lips. The sun had set; 10m shadows raced into the valley. Near the grlndstonc by the kitchen door David's small voice detcrminedly ex- plained something to Sugarfoot. with her eyes still on the skyline, she went to the doorway. Part of that great expanse of land belonged to her. The rolling pasture lands to the east might extend forever, for any sign oi boundary. Behind her. she knew, the ranch extended to the mountai tops-acres and acres. grass, trees, canons, hills. . . . . Old Charley had spoken as though the Dead Lantern was a wonderful ranch—feed enough for two thou- sand head-forty thousand dollars a year. But. suppose he was wrong, suppose even, that the ranch could be made to earn only a quarter of that-the very amount she had lust agreed to take for her entire inter- est. What would she and David do when that money was gone? David would have to go to work. His 1n- heritance could have been a fine cattle ranch, a wholesome life out oi doors, a good education; and a rea- sonable number of opportunities afterward.
pride. Ruth could imagine how her step-mother would smile over such a letter. Pride. . . . Ruth had always been proud: how high she had held her head that day she had left home to go to Kenneth. No, she could not beg to be taken back, but perhaps she could write a. business letter to her father.
For a long time Ruth stood in the doorway, her eyes following David as he played with Sugarfoot. Yes, she would write the letter; what was pride compared with that pudgy- chwked little being? But, oh, that terrible man in the ranch house! Where was the strength to fight her fear?
Ann left the ranch house on the path which led to the barn. The giantess eyed Ruth curiously,
“Hello, Ann." Ruth smiled unde- cidedly.
The huge woman paused. "Mr. Enavely says to git out the buck- board-I'm goin ‘to take you-all over to 'I‘hane's place 50's you kin go in with him tomorrow."
Ruth put out her hand as though begging for time. The hand tremb- led. Slowly she stood up. "N-no, Ann." The girl walked swiftly past her and entered the living room. Snavely." she called.
The door oi Snaveiys bedroom opened at once and he looked out. "I'm sorry, but I've changed my mind"-—Ruth chilled as she spoke- “I don't want to go back on my word-I can't help it. The money you offered me wouldn't be enough. I must have a steady income-some- thing I can depend on for years. Don't you sec? I've Just got to stay here and make this ranchpsy. I'm writing East for capital. I—li you'd" help, I'm sure—" She paused, then straightened and said clearly, “Mr. Bnavely, this is all I have; it's all my son can ever have from me or his father. I've got to make it s big ranch. I'm going to stay!"
Bnavely did not move, nor did he make a sound; with pale eyes con- tracted to slits, he looked at the girl for a moment, then his head with- drew and the door closed softly.

Breakfast the next morning was s silent affair. Snavciy seemed wholly
absorbed with his food, but there was a tenseness about his every mov ‘
As she was leaving the room, Snavely loked up. "Any time you get enough oi thm here place an’ want to take me up on that deal, jest say m»
She paused and tried to smile. "Thank you. I shall remember. But first I'm going to see what can be done with capital-I'm writing East this morning."
"What if you don't git it?" "Walk-perhaps then we can make some o\her arrangement. Mr. Suave- ly-ii I am successful-I wonder- would you sell me your quarter in- ktgreat? I'd like to know the value
