CHAPTER I YE is very handsome, too." |—l Th* dark-haired girl A X sighed. handsome.” She nodded rapidly byway of emphasis. Th* girl beside her laughed. "But it's six yean since you hav* seen him, Lola. He may be fat and bald." They made a vivid contrast, those two. a contrast not only of coloring and manner but of something far nmr* fundamental—a difference in the way each regarded life itself. The one who had just spoken was sb-nder, with a kind of boyish slenderness, and the face too might hav* been the eager face of a young boy. Gray, thoughtful eye* looked out at you w ith calm, level gaze, but a little skeptically, as one who deals warily with a world not wholly to be trusted. The head was email, proudly poised, and the hair itself a cluster of coppery gold. She might have been twenty-five—perhaps les*. Ihe other-i—the girl named Lola—was unmistakably of Spanish origin. Thick hair so black it sparkled, 'b ar olive skin, and slightly slanting eyes. Younger than the other, there was sti>! something of a child’s wonder it the lazily unawakened eyes, but something too of the women. And—again In contrast—those eyes seemed to hold implicit trust, an acceptance of everything this friendly universe might bring. "Life will brgi' nga'n when he is lack,” she said *fler a silence. “With him life was always—” she -ought for the word, "always exciting, He made everything seem adventurous—when he was here you lived more quickly. And h* loved all this—he knew every foot of the enen and the foothills." .Imost enviously the other smiled down at the reclining girl. 'What < marvelously beautiful place he is oming jack to!” Her eye* rose to where ’*ll palms curved within the jatio, and wher* dotted beneath them vrang* tree* and feathered bamboo* lent deeper notes of green. "And to all this," half to henelf tn.- gir' was saying, “to all this he comes back as master." “IVhe come* baekf At the question both girls turv.ed to see a man in riding gitrb standing just inside the patio. Slight of bu.ld and scarcely taller than the girls themselves, his hair graying at the tempi** and a small, carefully trimmed beard made him appear older thsn his thirty-five years. Th* t lender, well modeled hands were never quite motionlees, and his eyes seemed always a little mocking. “Who I* coming back a* master!” Lola waved him to a ehair. "My -ousin. Jack Douglas—in two days he will be here " The man smiled in retrospect. “They still tell brav* tales of that tall cousin of yours. I hardly remember him.” "That’s because you were In Europe trying to become a famous artist. Paul "But is he going to Ilk* me, Alison? 1 was little more than an infant when last he kissed me goodby. Dint, 1 adored him! He was al) my childhood, ever since his aunt first brought me here to live—and that is as far back as 1 can remember.” “Will you marry him soon?” Alison asked "Quien Mhrf’ fxvla shrugged. ’That will be a* Juan himself deride*. There is no hurry. After all, we have a lifetime left, and Juan will find much to do after six year* away. From th* moment he arrives he will be master of all Uns — the last master of Miracle M«*a Rancho Hi* rid*rs ar* delighted that h* I* coming back, especially Frank Baker, for Juan was nis idol Juan taught him to shoot and ride.” "Your Juan will b* coming back to strange tim«s,” Alison said "Why did he ever leave hero.

"Bucbum he was a firebrand Ilk* you—only worse.’ Ahson smiled. “Is he headUtOns and stubborn too—like me?” "I only told you that lor your owr good ” "Os course yon d-d, dear. Bu

what doea your aunt think of her tempestuous nephew?” “She loves him like a «*n, but even for her he was too reb« lious.” “Rebellious against her?” “Oh, never that—Jack adored her. No one dared say a word against her while he was here. “The women of Verde ilollzed him, but my aunt wanted only peace, and with him there was no peace. No one knew what would happen next. He had a genius for making enemies — and always they were powerful enemies. Aunt Im s was frantic with fear." “So she sent him away?” “To the ranch of his m-ther'a

people. She hoped it would quiet him down.” Alinon frowned. "I hope it doesn’t quiet him too much." Her eyes grew i suddenly *peculative. "Why is he i coming back, Lola?" The question was asked casually enough, but a new note of interest had come into 1 her voices and the man, lolling in , his chair, took on an attitude of quiet i alertness. “Why! None of us know. We . simply got his wire that he was . coming. Perhaps —” the color of Lola's checks had deepened, "he wants to see mo again before I am . a wrinkled old lady.** “He could still wait years for that But thank the Ixird he Is coming back and the raiders may meet a man with the courage to stand up to them." Almost fiercely I she turned toward her friend. “Lola, l you can't know how I'm going to I welcome your Jack Douglas, pro* • sided—" and her eyes rose to where the sun just touched the desert's - rim, "provided he is the leader M have been waiting for.** e o e e Another was watching that same j vetting sun. Far across the desert , from the patio where those two girls g talked, a solitary rider had turned ids horse toward the foothills. a On and on he rode while the moon d rose higher, until at a turn in the y trail its pale radiance touched in I. dim outline a solitary building barn- " ly visible against the cliff that k flanked It. Dark and foreboding I those four walla of red adobe elay " loomed a little distance from the n trail, and like a great tidies* eye a w narrow window shed Its fiickeiing y illumination upon the night. Halting before that ailent dwell* g ing, the rider leaned from his saddle, and at his knock a heavy bolt rasped n from within, the door swung open, dimly revealing the dark feature* of it a man against the flickering light.
