The heavy bullets streaked the du*f
yojjfl belief that a horse, burdened or
unburdened, could find footing and
hold' it upon that wall of narrow
ledges- and Inverted, slanting gullies.
Hut he climbed on, sure-footed as a
mountain goat, and/ surmounting the
last rough steps, he stood a moment
silhouetted against the white sky.
Then he disappeared. Ladd sat
astride Rlanco Sol gazing upward.
How the cowboy must have honored
that raider’s brave steed!
Gale, who had been too dumb to
shout the admiration he felt, suddenly
leaped up, and' his voice came with a
shriek:
“Look out. Lnddy!”
A big horse, like a white streak, was
hearing down to the .right of the
wronger. Hlanco IMahlo! A matchless
rider swung with the horse’s motion.
Gale was stunned. Then he remem
bered the first raider, the one Lash
had shot at snd driven away from the
outlet. This fellow had made for the
mescpilte and had put a saddle on
Beldlng’s favorite. In the heat of the
excitement, while I,add had been In
tent upon the climbing hbrne, this last
rsfder had come down with the *|ieed
of the wind straight for tbe western
, nutlet. I’erhap*. very probably, he
, did not know Gale waa there to block

In sevcrnl Jumps, then square away
and stand stockstill. I.add fired nt the
closely grouped raider*. An Instant
passed Then Gale heard the spat of
h bullet out In front, saw n puff of
dust, then heard the lend strike the
rocks and go w hiniiig away. And it wns
nfter this that one of Ihe raiders fell
prone from his saddle. The steel-
jacketed .40*. had gone through him
on its uninterrupted way to hum past
Gale’s position.
The remaining two raiders fran
tically spnrrei) their horses and fled up
the valley. I.add sent Sol after them.
The raiders split, one making for the
eastern oi.fi d, the other circling hack
ot 'th** mesr.uites. Ladd kept on after
the lattei. Then puffs of white smoke
and rifle shots faintly crackling told of
Jim Lash’s hand in the game. How
ever, he succeeded only In driving the-
rniler back into the valley. Bur Ladd
had turned the other horseman, and
now It appeared the two raiders were
between Lash nhnve on the stony
slope and Ladd below on the level.
There was desperate riding on part
of the raiders to keep from being
hemmed in closer. Only one of them
got away, and he came riding for life
down under the eastern wall. Hlanco
Sol settled Into his graceful, beautiful
awing. He gained steadily, though he
was far from extending himself.
Some few hundred rods to the left
of Gale the raider put hla horse to the
weathered slope. He began to climb.

In clouds of dust.
Gale watched with strained and
smarting eyes. The thick throb In
his ears was pierced by faint sounds
of gunshots. Then he waited iu al
most unendurable suspense.
Suddenly something whiter than the
background of dust appeared above
the low roll of valley floor. Gale lev

taneda. Nell lay In the hammock,
her hand# behind her head, with gosy
cheeks and arch eyes. Indeed she
looked rebellloua.
Dick Was inclined to be rebellious
himself. Beldlng had kept the rangers
In off the line, and therefore Dick
had been idle most of the time, and,
though he tried hard, he had been
unable to stay far from Nell’s vicinity.
He believed she cared for him; but
he could* not catch her alone long
enough to verify his tormenting hope.
He had long before ’enlisted the loyal
Mercedes In his cause; hut In spite of
this Nell hud been more than a mutch
fpr them both.
Gale pondered over ah Idea he had
4ong revolved lit-mind, and whii-h now
suddenly gave place to a decision that
made his heart swell and his cheek
bum. "He went In search of Mrs. Bel-
ding, and found her busy in the
kitchen.
The relation betwreen Gale and Mr*.
Beldlng had subtly and Incamprehen-
sively changed. He understood her
lem than when at first he divined an
antagonism In her. If such a thing
were |M»*s|hle she had retained the
antagonism while seeming to yield to
some influence that must have been
fondness for him. Gale had come to
rare greatly for Nell’s mother. Not

of her home, but also of tbe Inhabh

ui a whisper. *
"You know!" cried Dick, with a
glow and rush of feeling. “Mother!
You'll give her to me?”
She drew him to Ihe light and
looked with strunge, piercing intent-
ness Into his fuce. Gale hud never
dreamed a woman's eyes could hold
suct^a world of thought and feeling.
It seemed all the sweetness of life
was there, und all the pain.
“Dick Gnle, you want my Nell? You
love her Just ns ,she Is—her sweet
ness—her goodness? Just herself,
body und soul? . . .. There’s noth
ing could clmnge you—nothing?”
“Dear Mrs. Beldlng. I love Nell for
herself. If she loves me I’ll be the
happiest of men. There’s absolutely
nothing that could make any differ.-
ence in me.”
“But your people? Oh, Dick, you
come of a proud family. I cun tell.
You’ve become n ranger. You love
the adventure—the wild life. That
won’t last. Perhaps you’ll settle
down to ranching. 1 know you love
the West. But, Dick, there’s your
family—”
“If you want to know anything
about my family, I’ll tell you,’’ Inter
rupted Dick, with strong feeling.’ “I’ve
no secrets about them or myself. My
future and happiness are Nett’s to
make. No one else shall count with
me.”
“Then. Dick—you may hav* her.
'God—bless—you—both.”
Mrs. Beldlng* strained face under
went a swift and mobile rvlaxstion,
and suddenly she was weeping in
atrangely mingled happiness and bit-
temcaa.
"Why, mother!” Gale could say no
lie simply could not keep hla step*
turned from the patio Every path
led there. ‘ Ills blood was throbbing.
Uls hopes mounting, hit spirit soaring.
“Now for some spunk!“ he said, un
der his breath.
Plainly he meant his merry whistle
and Ids huoyaitt step to Interrupt this
first languorous stage of the Siesta
which the girls always took during
the hot hours. - But neither girl heard
him. Mercedes lay under the pnlo
yerde. her beautiful head dark and
still upon a cushion. Nett was asleep
In the hammock. Her sweet, red lips,
with the soft, perfect curve, had al
ways fascinated Dick, and now drew
him Irresistibly. He had always been
consumed with a desire tg.Jdss her,
and now he was overwhelmed with his
opportunity. It would be a terrible
thing to do, but If she did not waken
at once— No, he would fight the
temptation. That would be more than
spunk. It would— She stirred—he
feared she would awaken.
He had dropped hack erect when
she opened her eyes. They were sleepy,
yet surprised until she saw him.
Then she was wide awake in a second,
bewildered, uncertain.
“Why—you heriv?” she asked, slowly.
“Large as life!” replied Dick, with
unusual gayety.
“How long have you been here?”
“Just got here this fraction of a sec
ond,” he replied, lying shamelessly.
“I thought—I was—dreaming," she
said, and evidently the sound of her
voice reassured her.
“Yes, you looked as if you were
having* pleasant dreams," replied Dick.
“So sorry to wake you. I can’t see

Thortle’i , rommliatao expired the
end of January, and If he could nbt
get hla discharge Immediately, he
stipely could obtain leave of absence.
Therefore, .Gale waited, not without
growing anxiety, and did his best to
cheer Mercedes. The first of February
came bringing news of rebel activities
and bandit operations In and around
Caslta. but not a word from the cav
alryman. .
A dozen times Gale declared/h®
would rtde/Jn to Caslta and find out
.why they did not hear from Thorne;
however, older and wiser heads pre
vailed over his| impetuosity. -’ Balding
and the rangers and the Yaqul held a
consultation. Not only had the Indian
become a faithful servant tq Gale, but
he was also of value to Beldlng.
Yaqul had all the craft of his class,
and superior intelligence. His knowl
edge of Mexicans was second only to
his hate of them. And Yaqul, who
had been scouting on all tne trails,
gave Information that made Beldlng
decide to wait some days before send
ing anyone to Caslta.
It was upon Gale’s coming from _this
conference that he encountered Nell.
Since the interrupted siesta episode
she had been more than ordinarily
elusive, and about all he had received -
from her was a tantalizing smile from
a distance. He got the impression
now, however,, that she had awaited
him. When he drew close to her he
was certain of It. and he experienced
more than surprise.
“Dick," she began, hurriedly. “Mer*
cedes is dying by inches. Can’t you
see what alls her? It’s more than
love or fear. It’s uncertainty—sus
pense. Oh. can’t we And out for her?"
“Nell, I feel aa badly as. you about
her. I wanted to ride to Caslta. Rel-
ding shot me up quirk, the last tlma."
Nell mme close to Gale, clasped hla
arm. Thffe waa r»«< rotor In her far*.
Her -eyes held a dark, eager exrltto
ment
"Dick. mtU you slip off without

Pleasant dream*.
Dick tumnl away then and left the
patio by the opening Into the yard
Nell was really sleepy, and when she
had fallen asleep again he would re
turn. He walked around for a while.
Presently, ns If magnet-drawn, he re
traced hla steps to the patio and en
tered noiselessly.
Nett was now deep In her siesta.
She was Inert, relaxed, untroubled by
dreams. Her hnlr was damp on her
brow.
Again Nell stirred, and gradually
awakened. Her eyes unclosed, humid,
shadowy, unconscious. They rested
upon Dick for a moment before they
became clear and comprehensive. He
stood back fully ten feet from her.
und to all outside appearances re
garded he,r calmly.
“I’ve Interrupted your siesta again,”
be said. “Please forgive me. I’ll take
myself .off.” ——
He wandered away, ow! when It
became Impossible for him To stay
away any longer,lke returned to the
patio. - ' •• - • .

"Grarlaa. amor." she replied, mock-
Ingfy. “Adloa." Then she flashed out
of hi* sight.
Gale went to hi* room at once, dis
turbed and thrilling, and did not soon
recover from that encounter.
The following morning at the break
fast table Nett was not present. ”She’a
In one of her tantrums lately," said
Beldlng. “Wouldn't speak.to me this
morning. I>et her alone, mother.
She's spoiled enough, without running
nfter her. She's always hungry. She'll
be on hand presently, don't mistake
me.”
Notwithstanding Beldlng’s convic
tion, which Gale*shared, Nett did not
appear at all during the hour. Per
haps half an hour afterward, as Gala
was leaving his room, he saw the
Yaqul running up the path from th#
fields. Gale wondered what was tha
matter. Yaqul ran straight to Bel*
ding, who wns nt work at his bench
under the wagon shed. In less than
a moment Belding wgs bellowing for
his rangers. Gale got to him first,
but Ladd and Lash were not far be*
hind. ' -
The Instant his glance rested uporr
Nell's face he divined "she was feign
ing sleep. Dick dropped upon his
knees and bent over her. He wanted
more than anything he had ever want
ed In his life to see If she would keep
up that pretense of sleep and let him
kiss her. She must have felt his
breath, for her hair waved off her
brow. Her cheek* were now white.
Her breast swelled and sank. He
bent down closer—closer. But he
muit have been maddeningly slow, for
as he bent atlU closer Nell’s -eyes
opened, and he caught a swift purple
fixe of eyes as ahe whirled her head,
