CHAPTER XV.
It was a joyful return to the Mesquite
▼alley ranch. Difficult indeed would
U be to exaggerate the enthusiastic wel
come of the Impulsive Kate; the over
joyed though restrained greeting of the
more conservative Edith, for in the brief
interval of his absence Miss Stafford had
passed some very lonely hours and had
found time to realize how much the
of Bruce had grown to be to
If she had reflected with bitterness
upon the change of his attitude toward
her, if she bad found the coutrast be
tween Miss Dallas and herself so over
whelming that she almost pitied Bruce
for the blindness of his own vision, there
was nothing strange or unfeminine in all
this. •
Indeed, considering the tender regard
the lady entertained for the ranchman,
it was quite natural that she should be
convinced that she was the one person
in the wide world to make him happy.
Quite as natural was it that she should
see nothing but misery for him in in
dulging this unexplainable regard for
Miss- Dallas, that she should believe
Bruce to be the victim of some species of
enchantment, and that the prestige of her
own birth and position should inspire
her with little but aversion and con
tempt for her rival
Actuated by these feelings, the fair
Edith during the first hours of his re
turn laid aside the pique that she had
shown of law and displayed an arch and
playful manner that Bruce had once
found irresif ‘«fjle. It was the old Edith,
whose nameless grace aig] charm had
once well nigh betrayed him into a dec
laration. Fora time he appeared like
one fascinated by a memory of the past,
and Edith was about to congratulate her
self upon the return of her influence
when one morning she beheld him saddle
bis horse and ride away without taking
leave of her as of old. It was three days
before he again appeared at the Mesquite
valley ranch.
Mias Stafford seeded no prompting as
to the nature of his journey. The direc
tion in which his horse had been headed
settled that. But she was grieved and
indignant Without stopping to trace
the steps by which she arrived at this
conclusion, she felt herself terribly out
raged and wronged. She was vindictive
in consequence. Howbeit, she resolved
to make one more determined effort tc
regain her ascendency. She would if
possible remove Bruce from the influence
of this rural siren who was fast teach
ing him to forget the requirements of hit
rank of life. If in the interval Cynthia,
Ending herself abandoned, should decide
to crown the hopes of one so suitable as
the gloomy Mr. Jerrold, Miss Stafford
would renew her childish belief that "all
marriages were made in heaven.''
In this strait she appealed to Kerno-
chan to fulfill a promise, given long be
fore, to take them on a fortnight's trip
to Austin, the capital of the state. Sb«
reminded him that her visit was draw
ing to a close, end that the time was
short in which to keep his word. Her
indulgent host readily acquiesced.
When this trip had been decided upon,
Phil Kernochan proposed that the four
should ride over to San Marcus on horse
back, it being necessary that he and hit
businest
their departure. The
prof seal was received with favor.
Before setting out Mias Stafford re
paired to her room, where she arrayed
herself in the faultless riding dress with
which she had once electrified Miss Dal
las. Aa she peered into her toilet mirror
there was a grim resolve about the lines
of her mouth from which her quick
witted sax might have argued no quarter
to a rival And it was noticeable that
the few additional hairpins with which
the lady found it necessary to secure her
raven tresses were placed in position al
most fiercely—very much as Mias Edith
might have used a harpoon upon some
creature that had excited her iwdntment
When has toilet was completed, she
surveyed herself from head to foot crit
ically, but with evident approval, after
which she opened a small jewel casket
and taking from an inner recess a ring
she aUyped it hurriedly upon the third
finger of her left hand. It was a solitaire
diamond, large and brilliant, and aha
passad har small handkerchief across It
once or twice, catching the morning sun
light on the flashing jewel and noting
bow it graced her dimpled hand. But
them was an expression in the lady's
dark eyes that was hardly reassuring.
Tha ring waa a mere memory with
Edith—a souvenir of an attachment
from which the sentiment had long
since faded—a relic <ft an almost forgot
ten past Howbeit, although she usually
wore no rin, she permitted it to rt
main upon hur finger that morning, and
drawing her riding glove qnicklyover
the gem she joined the mounted party
at tha ranch gate, where the impatient
Phil waa calling loudly upon the ladies
to hurry.
After dinner that afternoon, when
Kernochan and Brace had left them tc
IpMtct the inevitable business, and
eery with the morning's ride, had
on taking a siesta in spite of the
stuffy atmosphere of the San Marcus
hotel. Edith was dominated by a sudden
energy. She leaned against a window of
the dreary parlor and gamed down the
dusty road toward the green foliage of
tha rivar. Bow eeol it looked there!
And what a abort distance awayl What
waa to prevent her going there If she
would? She answered this question by
ffflfjdflg the sleepy proprietor to have
saddled and brought to the
at once.

ly speechless and
rode quietly Out
of town. When the reached the river, she
did not stop, but guiding her mustang
■kUifolly across tha shallow ford she
turned in tha shade of the tress upon the
opposite bank, taking the direction of
the Dallas ranch. She knew its general
norition from a remark of Bruce during
the weal ‘ “
i week of tbaSan Marcus ball
did not think the distance great. Hardly
the trail road when sht
The man raised his serious face and
minted her gravely. Edith drew rein.
Just now this meeting was most oppor
tune. Did Mr. Jerrold know th^. dis
tance to the Dallas ranch, and would he
direct her to it? Buck stared, gave the
information in the usual blind southera
fashion, bnt did not volunteer any per
sonal guidance. Edith, moreover, did
not request it But was Mise Cynthia at
home? Mr. Jerrold stared again and
reckoned she was. Miss Stafford thanked
him and dashed away in the direction
Indicated, leaving the cownym gazing
solemnly after her. But ai she rode
Edith refleeted upon his gloomy bearing
and was not without feeling that she
was acting very generously toward him
in the utterly selfish purpose she had In
mind.
Cynthia was in her bower, whither of
late she had been much given to repair
ing. She was lying in her hammock,
•winging listlessly to and fro, her half
closed eyes dreamily regarding the ever
swaying curtain of green above her
head.
She was happy—happier than she had
ever felt or known before. He was safe.
He had returned. She was content.
And yet in the restful quiet of the little
wood Cynthia could not but feel a pang
of pity for the man who had just left
her with no hope in his eyes, to whose
generous conduct much of the present
joy she felt was due.
There was the sound of a footstep
withont, and tjie girl sprang to her feet
with a sudden flush. She put both hands
to her head as if to efface any disorder
of her tresses due to her previous atti
tude. A broad shaft of sunlight slipping
through the branches overhead steeped
in glowing warmth her picturesque face
anti figure.
A moment of expectation, and Miss
Stafford, cool, erect and fastidious, hold-
' ing her immaculate skirts in the gloved
fingers of her right hand, stepped within.
As she did so she toyed carelessly with
the riding whip held in her le ( and
gaxed curiously about her. Their eyes
met. Mias Stafford bent her head coldly
and permitted Cynthia the slightest In
clination of her arched eyebrows. The
recognition of Mias Dallas was equally
cordial.
An embarrassing pause followed thees
civilities. Edith was the first to break it
"1 suppose you are surprised to see me
here,” she began, with more embarrass
ment of manner than she had deemed
possible. She glanced down at the whip
she held lightly between her gloved fin
gers. Cynthia remained quiet
“The fact is. Miss Dallas." Edith re
commenced, t^ hesitation of her man
ner lending aq apparent sineerity to her
words, “the fact is, I am going away
very soon, bnt 1 felt 1 could not do so
without thanking you for your kindness
to me in being so good to Mr. Brace.
Cynthia raised her eyebrows and
stared blankly at Edith, turning her
head a little one side, very much as a
bird will when doubtful if it has heard
aright She grew a shade paler, but re
plied that she was gratified if anything
she had done had found favor with Miss
Stafford. If look and manner, however,
counted for anything, it was quite evi
dent that the temperature of Cynthia’s
gratification was indefinitely below sera
“I mean by your riding over to hia as
sistance in the reckless fashion you did,”
Mias Stafford continued. “It was really
quite romantic and kind of you, yon
know—quite what one reads about, and
I wanted to—to thunk you. I told Mr.
Bruce aa I know he feels much as I do.”
There was a very perceptible change
in Cynthia's manner while listening to
this ingenuous statement. Apparently
■he grew several inches taller under Miss
Stafford's patronage. Her lip curled per
ceptibly. and her eyes flashed as she im
plied very decidedly that she was quite
aware what Mr. Brace thought about it
“Very possibly,” Miss Stafford assent,
ed quietly, “but I was only telling you
what he said to me. 1 am going away,
you know—we are both going away.”
Miss Stafford emphasised the “both.”
-I thought you ought to know bow we
felt in the matter.”
The ominous plural fell like a knell
upon Cynthia. She felt hes breath grow
quick and short, and a agddcn faintness
seised her. But she did not change her
attitude. She remained gazing stead
fastly up into the beautiful face before
her. There waa disdain in the brown
eyes, and she felt it
“And so you turned yourself into
Henry Brace's errand boy to let me
know,” she replied calmly. "Well, now.
thet's kind of you. Pm sure; you reck
oned I was just natch'ally lyin awake
nights to get your approval, and you
couldn’t rest until you took this way of
showin it P'raps you’ll be willin to
say, Mias Stafford, bow long you've been
oanryin hia messages and rannin his er
rands?”
She threw back her bead and laughed
Iflerrily •• she said this—a laugh so mu
sical and clear that it seemed to ripple
upward from the very heart of joy.
Miss Stafford blushed crimson beneath
her merriment It steeled her to adhere
to her original purpoea. With a sudden
gesture she stripped off the glove upon
her left hand. The glittering facets of the
diamond she wore flashed in the broad
shaft of sunbeams that cleft the bower.
“Do you nee that ring?" she demanded
coldly, suffering the fascinated ayes of
the girl to rest a moment upon the spar
kling gem. "Perhaps that will explain
my inttrest in the welfare of Mr. Bruce."
She turned quickly, Bashed one brief
glance of triumph upon Cynthia from
beneath her supercilious lashes and
•wept haughtily out of the bower. Cyn
thia waa alone with the agony of the
sudden revelation.
She pat one hand to her head in a half
daaed way, as if she. fait a sadden pain
there. The ground eeemed slipping away
beneath her feet; the horizon wl 'led
around her. She felt in one brief Inst mt
as if the sunlight had gone from the
earth, the vivid bine from the sky, and
the next she was lying prone upon the
mosses at her fast, weighed down by the
, despairing monotone that
to pofssm all thing
ov«r har
ner face deep dbwn in the soft HcMM
M if to shat out of right the dreadful
reality which suddenly confronted her.
Then a quick tremor shook her, and she
eras crying as if her heart would break.
And so he was really engaged to Mbs
Stafford. That was the end then. This
man whom she had so trusted and be
lieved had been playing a double part
with her and had called her ont of the
Ignorant content of her early life, only
to crash her with the new joy he had
awakened. Oh, the pity of 1U And she
bad shown she loved him sot Overcome
by the hitteraese of this reflection, she
sank down again and lay there pale mid

In the soft moesea, her eyes fined on va

one mortifying, agonising fact
The moments went slowly by. The
shadows shifted on the pine strewn floor.
High overhead a squirrel that had
marked her grief dropped a cone down
opon her as if in protest A motionless
red lizard, that at first seemed to sym
pathise with her. leered at her from an
adjacent stone and was growing viribly
hysterical And then this irony of na
ture was dispelled by a footstep that
came qniqkly into the bower. The
squirrel flashed sudden'v around a limb,
and the lizard rustled off into the thick
et Cynthia raised her eyes, Henry
Brace was standing over her, regarding
her with a curious, questioning glance.
She gave him no word or sigieof recog
nition. The one brief glance with which
•he swept his face had in it the scorn
and contempt of the injured woman.
She sprang to her feet, dashing away
from her with a passionate gesture tha
hand he had extended to her aid. Turn
ing her hack upon him, she sought the
farthest corner of the bower.
Bruce was astounded at this reception.
He took a step or two toward her and
attempted to take her hands in his. She
whipped them Indignantly behind her
and faced him with «U«K4»»g eyee. in
bis Ignorance of what had passed the
yonng ranchman cast about him for
some set of his that could have caused
this sudden anger.
“Cynthia,” he said, breaking the si

The woman looked up mystified. “Oh,

AreTou Going to the World’s Fair?
If so, see that your ticket
reads via Cincinnati and the C.
H. ft D. and Monon—the ac
knowledged ‘World’s Fair
Route.”
The only line out of Cincin
nati connecting with E. T. V.
& Q. and Q. & C. train No. 2,
arriving Cincinnati 10:30 p. m.
A solid train carrying through
sleepers from Jacksonville, Sav
annah, Birmingham, Atlanta,
Chattanooga, Macon and New
Orleans via E T. V. & G., Q.
& C., C. H. ft D. and Monon
Route to Chicago.
You can stop over in Cincin
nati if your ticket reads via the
C. H. ft D. and Alonon Route,
by depositing same with the
Merchants’ and Manufacturers'
Association. Chamber of Com
merce Building, corner of Fourth
and Vine Streets, one block
from Fountain Square (the C.
H. ft D. ticket office is. in the
same building). This enables
you to visit the picturesque
“Queen City” at no additional
cost, and special efforts will be
made to entertain strangers hos
pitably and reasonably.
The universal verdict of the
traveling public is that the Pull
man Safety Vestibuled trains,
running every day, "and Sun
day too,” via the C. H. ft D.
and Monon, between Cincinnati,
Indianapolis and Chicago, are
without doubt the "finest on
earth.” These trains were es
pecially built by the Pullman
Company for this service, and
embrace every improvement.
Their magnificent coaches, lux
urious smoking cars, superb
sleepers, observation cars, com
partment sleeping cars and un
excelled dining car service, af
ford "all the comfortsofhome.”
Leaving Cincinnati you pass
through the beautiful Miami
Valley, and for twenty-five
miles the double tracks run
through the very front door
yards of the finest suburban
homes in the country. Beyond
Hamilton and up to Indiana
polis, the line is noted for its
scenic beauty.
A stop over at Indianapolis,
the capital of Indiana, may be
obtained by depositing your
ticket with the Secretary of the
Commerical Club. This city is
more worthy of a visit than al
most any other of its size in the
West, and offers the greatest
inducements to traveller and
tourist. Between Indianapolis
and Chicago the line traverses
the very best agricultural and
commercial territory, and the
ride is one of unparalleled com
fort and beauty.
Bear in mind that the C. F.
& D. and Monon Route trains
all run via Burnside Crossing,
from which point the Illinois
Central suburban trains run
direct to the World’s Fair
Grounds every moment. At
Englewood connection is made
with the electric cars, which
run every five minutes to the
grounds, but we recommend all
rsons to go directly into the
earborn Station, which is lo
cated in the heart of the city
and from which all street car
lines converge, then go directly
by car or cab to your hotel or
boarding place. First locate
yourself; know where and how
you are to live while in Chicago.
Get the locality firmly fixed in
your mind, before going to the
World’s Fair by any of the
numerous convenient ways: the
cable cars, electric roads, ele
vated railroad, Illinois Central
R. R., suburban trains and the
steamboats afford ample accom
modations for all possible visit
ors, and it is but five minutes
ride from the business portion
of the city to the grounds. Take
your breakfast down town, buy
your lunch at the grounds, and
take your supper down town.
If you follow these suggestions
you will save money. The fa
cilities for serving lunch at the
World’s Fair Grounds are ex
traordinary and the prices are
cheaper than at your own home,
but breakfast and supper should
be taken down town, or at your
boarding house. The World’s
Fair is already the most astound
ing and stupendous spectacle
ever attempted by any people,
and a day’s visit wil II afford
more delight and instruction
than can possibly be obtained
in any other way or by the
same expenditure of money.
