to Belding's talk With the cowboys,
Dick was hard put to it to dictate
any kind of a creditable letter. Nell
met his gaze once, then no more.
Bolding was talking over the risks in

Mercedes eane back, and her eyes
were shining. Dick, remembering
ldeiding's suggestion, delcided to prolit
by it.
"May I trouble you to write another
for tme?" asked Dick, as he received
the letter from Nell.
"It's no trottble, I'm sure-I'd be
pleased," she replied.
That was altogether a wonderful
speech of hers, Dick thought, because
the words were the first coherent
ones she itad spoken to him.

P'resently Gale paused, partly be
cause of genuine elotion, and stole
a look from under his hand at Nell.

ter. Dick believed Mrs. Belding's
friendship and motherly love were
worth much striving to win, entirely
aside from any more selfish Motive.
He decided both would be hard to
get.
Toward evening Gale heard the
tramp of horses and Belding's hearty
voice. Presently the rancher strode
In upon GaIc, shaking the gray dust
from his broad shoulders and waving
a letter.
"1 hello, Dick, Good news and
bad !" he said, putting the letter in
Dick's hand. "Had no trouble finding
your friend Thorne. Looked lit:e he'd
been drunk for a week ! Say, he
nearly threw a fit. I never saw a fel

We're going to see travel toward

and is holding out."
"D>o you think we'll have trouble
here?" asked Dick, excitedly.
"Sure. Some kind of trouble
sooner or later," replied Helding,
gloomily. "Anyway, my boy, ats soon
as you can hold a bridle and a gun
you'll be oil the job, don't mistake
mno."
"With Laddy and Jim?" asked
Dick, trying to be cool.
"Sure. With them and me, and by
yourself."
Dick drew a deep breath, and even
after BeIding had departed he forgot
for a ,moment about the letter in his
hand. Then he unfolded the paper
and read:
"Dear Dick-You've more th-in saved
my life. To the end of my days you'll
be the one ilan to whom I owe every
thing. Words fail to express my feelings.
"This must be a brief note. Helding is

then to tell her about some of the

breathless and wide-eyed upon his

Some one else was present at the
latter part of Dick's narrative. The
moment he becanme aware of Mrs.
ielding's presence he remembered
fancying he had heard her call, and
now he was certain she had done so.
Mercedes and Nell, however, had been
and still were oblivious to everything
except Dick's recital. IIe saw Mrs.
Belding east a strange, intent glance
upon Nell, then turn and go silently
through the patio.
Dick was haunted by the strange ex
pression he had caught on Mrs. Held

eyes. It had been one of repressed

The mother had seen how far he had
gone on the rond of love. Perhaps she
had seen muore--even more than he
dared hope.

wet muzzle against Gale's hand In ap

was loved In return. They had saved
each other's lives, and had spent long
days and nights of desert solitude to
gether.
The spot of secluded ground was
covered with bunches of galleta grass
upon which Sol began to graze. Gale
made a long halter of his lariat to
keep the horse from wandering in
search of water. Next Gale kicked
off the cumbersome chapparejos, with
their flapping, tripping folds of leather
over his feet, and drawing a long rifle
from his saddle sheath, he slipped
away Into the shadows. In the soft
sand his steps made no sound. The
twinkling light vanished occasionally,
