"Still working on your secret clues?" Dona smiled.

Dudley did not return with Swergin for half an hour. Dona ant where she could watch her fa ther who lay pretending to be doz- Ing. She was sure Asger was only pretending and that behind his half closed eyes he was planning what he would do, once he was able to bo up.

Swergin appeared from the doc tor's cabin with Dudley at his heels and Dona arose. She wanted to meet the tiraber bose, far enough away from her father's room so that he could not hear what she had

to say.

Swergin did not offer any greet ing but halted, grinning at Dona. His little eyes travelled over her with the same boldness that had made her shrink from him the first time they met.

"I want to talk about Father" Dona began..

Swervin's thick lips parted in a grin. "Not a word about yourself?" He seemed to enjoy the flush that rose in her cheeks,

"We'll save that for later," Dons countered swiftly. "The doctor says Dad must not be excited. We are not to tell him the details concern Ing this affair with Ball. We may oven have to tell him that we have captured Ball."

"You mean killed him," Swergin

cut in.

"You have seen the doctor?" Swergin nodded. "And if you want my idea, I think all this in a bum bet. Don't know that I'll be ablo to do it."

This turn made Dudley cut in.. "You'll take your orders from Miss Delo." He spoke shortly and stepped forward ngressively.

"Who asked you to but in?" Swergin growled. "You'll be lucky to keep a whole skin around you if You stay here,"

"Dudley," Doun laid a hand lightly on his arm. "let me talk to Mr. Swergin. I think I can make him understand."

"No use wastin' taik. I ain't pro- misin' nothing. If Asper geta me on the carpet and opens up on me I'm telling him facts and not a lot of rubbish."

"But you would lie to save his

"You certainly have changed the bold front you made when we first arrived. You were willing enough to tell Asper Delo where to step off then! Dudley could not withhold this earcastic triath

he grinned suddenly. "Old Asper Swergin did not fame up. Instead wins a well man then and able to take it. I ain't lying to him now that he's low."

Dona causcht Dudley's arm. "Como, Dud. I have to get back to Dad" With a melting smile she faced Swergin, "You will at least promise to see me first, so that I can be there when you report to my father?"

"If you are not off chasing in the woods," Swergin grunted,

"When do you expect to report to-day?"

"I'm going out with two picked men and we figure to bring that pup in in a canvass tarp. We ought to be back by six tonight, if not nouner." Swergin squinted at the sun as he spoke and started off to ward the corrals.
