CHAPTER VI
^PHE weeks hurried by. Larry
A swung into the work on ihe
ranch, nursed hla aches in silence,
and was rewarded by Barnes' ap-
proval and increasing friendship.
Monnie and ihe Colonel were
more friendly toward him, too.
Bolh of them rode with the men
during spring roundup and brand-
ing and Larry was surprised at the
way the girl worked. She rode as
well as any man, could cut a calf
from a herd as skillfully as Barries.
During branding, she cooked for
the crew, then joined Larry in
holding the herd while the others
roped and draggud bawling calves
up to the Arcs. It was hot, tiring
work and Larry was glad when
the last calf had a hayhook brand-
ed on its hip and the cattle were
heuded out to summer pasturage.
He found Monnie riding beside
him. All of the old animosity had
disappeared.
"Dad likes the way you hSndle
cows and horses, too," she said.
And before he could say anything,
"He won't keep a hand who rides
a horse too hard, or gets his cows
excited. Says a fool cowboy can
run mere dollars off a cow than
all the grass in the Panhandle can
put on it. I had you picked as a
tenderfoot when you came here.
Guess I waa wrong." She laughed
at the memory.
Larry liked to hear her laugh
like that. "You were half right,
Misa Monnie. I grew up on a
horse, but I've been sway from
Texas for a while."
"What brought you back?"
"Sand in my boots, I guess.
Can't be happy any place else. I
quit my Job and came home. I
waa lucky when you almost ran
Into me--"
"When you crashed a atop
niim i ** ''M
"My fault, I know. I asked
about you, decided I'd hit your
Dad for a Job."
"But you're no ordinary cow-
poke, Larry." Her glance swept
over him from heel to hat. ap-
pro,vini?ly- "You're different.
You're educated—-"
"Half the cowmen '• the coun-
ty have college *rees," he
°°"Sutr they're sons of ranchera,
not |90 per hands. You— You—
Oh, there' Mlkel" She swung her
hat at a horseman riding toward
the herd. "So long. Larry, see
you Ister "« ^ v 1 ^ ' *
T ARRY felt like a new man after
lie had washed off the trail
dust, changed clothes. He waited
until twilight, then walked to the
ranchhouse, Monnie v.- s alone on
the porch, crisp and .>ummery in
white. She looked as if she were
dics-cd for u party. Larry
stopped at the railing.
"There's a dance in town to-
night. Some radio band. Would
you like to go?"
"I'm sorry you didn't ask me
sooner, Larry," she answered smil-
ing. "Thai's why Mike rode over
to meet us today. He asked me
to go with him."
"Okay, thanks. Maybe some
other time." Larry started to
leave but she stopped him.
"Come up and talk until Mike
comes, won't you? Dad's working
on tlie books. I want to know
more about your secret past." She
moved over on the swing, making
room for him beside her. Larry
couldn't muse.
"Now, let's hear more about the
man who quit his Job to be a
cowboy," she commanded.
Larry shook his head. "You
heard all that this afternoon. We'll
talk about yot^."
"That won't take much time.
Daughter of the toughest and best
rancher in these parts. Drive a
car too fast. Don't know much
book-larnin' but I make tolerable
biscuits. Free, suntanned and 21."
"There's a bit more to it than
thftt," Larry said. "First place,
you're not quite 21—you won't be
until August—August 20, I be-
lieve,"
"How did you And that out?"
"A top cowhand khows every-
thing," Larry answered, in mock
seriousness. "Let's see. . . . Went
to school In Now Orleans until
they kicked you out. Then tried
some school in St. Louis. Then
the university. You studied some
there, made the dean's honor roll,
once. Elected beauty queen dur-
ing your senior year-—"
Monnie turned to him, frankly
puzzled. "Pete's been talking—"
"You wrecked one car while at
state," Larry went on. "One boy
was hurt—got yourself engaged to
an eastern fellow and a wrlteup
in a gossip column. But you went
to Dallas and forgot him. Been
arrested for speeding some eight
times—"
"Even Pete doesn't know that- "
"Don't interrupt— You ropsd
in a rodeo, led two parades. You've
had four automobile accidents and
you testified at the coroner's in-
quest when this—this fellow wa#
found dead in s bunting car on
rood "
ie Colqnel's voice interrupted.
'Monnlel Telephone. for yout"
CHE was gone only a minute or
^ two. "It was Mike. He won't
be here until later. Something
happened to delay him—one of
the men got hurt-—" she explained,
then dismissed Bentley from her
mind.
"Larry Collins, where did you
find out all that about me? Some
of it was in the papera, bu not in
any you could have seen. How
did you know?"
"Power of the press." The words
slipped out before Larry realized
what he was saying.
"Then you're a newspaperman.
What are you doing here, getting
almosphere for a story?" If Mon-
nie was angry because he had
learned so much about it, she did
not show it. Rather, she seemed
pleasod.
"Something like lhat. But you'll
havo to keep my secret for a while.
It wouldn't do for the Colonel, or
Barnes—or—or Bentley to find out
who I am Just yet," Larry cau-
tioned, then asked:
"Pete said something about you
hitting a cow, getting hurt, Bentley
saving your life. Power of the
press didn't cover that. What did
you do, hush that one up?"
"Pete's an old woman—talks too
much. Besides, Mike—
"It couldn't have been the time
the car went off the road up the
canyon, could it?" Monnie shook
her h-ad, looked away. She
seemed unusually disturbed by his
question.
"I don't know anything about
any accident on the canyon road,"
she answered, almost coldly.
"But you do, Monnie, you do.
You were there, you helped pull
the dead man out of the burning
car. You testified at the inquest.
Bentloy testified at the same
time—"
Monnie Jumped to her feet,
faced Larry. Anger darkened her
face. "I told everything I knew
about that— I don't know what
ySu're talking about. Why should
I know anything about— What's
It to you anyway? What are you
doing here, spying on me?" She
turned her back on him.
Larry was standing beside her.
His fingers bit into her shoulders
as he turned her around to face
him. He waited a second, search-
ing her eyes, then spoke slowly,
dwberatcly:
"I hope I can trust you, Monnie.
You have to toll me all about that
accident. I have to know. I
have a right to know."
"The man you helped pull from
that burning car was my brother,
Hugh Collins!"
