The irrigation man left his friends and, crossing the stream on his horse's back, was soon approaching Mr. Molick. "Well, how do you think we're coming on?" asked Len's father. "I took your advice, you see I'm going in with you on this deal. I think it's a good one, I'm ready to sign the papers whenever you say so." "Well er I don't want to disappoint you, after what has taken place, Mr.
A large number would be shipped away, and others would be scattered over the ranch on ranges where the water supply could not be tampered with by Jason Molick. "Thinking of a storm?" asked Mr. Bellmore, for a midnight storm will sometimes stampede a bunch of cattle more quickly than anything else. "Well, I don't like the look of the sky," the ranchman said. "But it may blow over."
"I'm not going to lose the cattle for want of some water, when we saved 'em from the fire." Dave was about to make a remark, when he gave a cry of surprise instead. "What's up?" asked Pete. "Look! If that isn't Len Molick I'll eat my rope!" cried the young cowpuncher. "Len Molick started that fire!" "It's him all right," agreed Pete, after an instant's glance.
Over the rolling plains they rode, now and then catching sight of distant herds of cattle under the guard of cowboys, again gaining a view of the distant Centre O ranch. But they saw no sign of Molick or Len, nor could they catch, in the direction they were going, a glimpse of the place where the fence work and dam building had been going on.
Bellmore. "I have made some arrangements with Mr. Molick about water rights. He is going into the irrigation scheme with me. I really need him, as he owns certain patents in the water course. I meant to mention it to you, but it slipped my mind." "So you are going in with Molick?" asked Mr. Carson, in a curious tone of voice. "Yes. Is there any objection?"
Maybe, after all, it's a good thing I sprained my ankle, though it certainly does hurt!" he exclaimed, with a sharp indrawing of his breath. "Well, of course I'll be glad to have you see Mr. Carson my father," and again Dave rather hesitated and stumbled over the word. "But, as a matter of fact, some of the rights he has in Rolling River are subject to some agreement with Mr. Molick.
"But you have a right to that water, and I'm going to see that you get your share of it," said Mr. Bellmore. "It was partly my fault that Molick built that dam, for if I had not mentioned it to him he probably would never have thought of it. So it's up to me to make this fight for you, and I'm going to." Nor was the fighting all on one side. Molick brought suit against Mr.
"Quite a bunch of our cattle depend for a drink on what they get from Rolling River, and we've got a lot of cattle below there now," and he pointed to a section south of that part of the valley in which the work was going on. "Oh, well, we'll not cross a bridge until we come to it," said Mr. Carson. "I'll not assume that Molick is going to do anything wrong.
There'll be more water than Molick can impound unless he raises a big concrete dam, and before he can do that we'll have legally established our own rights, I think." They resumed their way to the valley to measure the water there, and for some time were kept busy, Dave helping his friend make the calculations.
"It will be Molick who causes it, if anybody does. But I want, for your own good, to warn you against this man. He has done a lot of mean things in this section, and he is capable of doing more. He's as mean as they make 'em, and I truly hate to say that about a neighbor." "Oh, I accept it in confidence," replied Mr. Bellmore. "I know you do, and that's why I didn't hesitate.
