Its w6ist, tind the steady coin battiig i, had raised Maure to the dig nity of captain, with no empty 'honors. More than once lie had led his men into danger and "into the jaws of death" for purposes of defence and succor. At last there came a time when he carried back fron victory over lawless r ot the senseless body of a friend, and heard. those -cruel jaws grliiding and gnashing beside him through long, long days and .nights of nursing and waiting. Brit the day acame when the poor )bps feebly Obeyed the first intelligence of. the -wide, dark eyes. "Maure, send for Madeline," they begged. She was his only sister. Maure sent for her at once, and as soon as wind a'nd wave, steamn and steed, faith and cour age, could vanquish space, Madaline Dechert crossed the threshold of the Texan ranch, where Captain Maure .anxiously . awaited her.

She had 'bi'ought with her an old servant friend-such as are left to few households-and between them they made a new kingdom for themselves of the wild ranch. Grad ually this kingdom touched, it over reached, it neared to the very center of Maure's round of duties and scant pleas' ures.' He fell more and more into the habit of sharing his daily- life with her, now at Dechert's bedside, Aow on the long Igallery beforethe house, now Under [the quiet evening sky. She was so sweet a crea.,ui-e that any mian. might have loved her for herself alone, but Maure loved. her 'only for the sake of that long-ago love. " . .
