CHAPTER XVI Following l-oia's statement that she had always dreamed of Douglas coming back, be a«ked, "But now that the man who bat eome back it different from the picture yon bad of him, are you sure it It not the picture you love instead of this strange creature that people laugh at and eall—futile'” “Who can answer such a pur-, tionf I only know I have not thought of anyone but you?” “Not even Paul Bodine’” The dark eyes widened. “While you were away he was the mn*t interesting man in all this country. He helped the hours to pas*, tell.ng nio of plarea he bad be<-n. people he had talked to — people one reads about but never we* out here. And besides, he is a great painter.” “He ia fortunate in having you as a model.” Uncertain of what might lie behind her cousin’s words, Lola looked a little fearfully up at him, then hurried on "But it is not of Bodine we are talking, dear. It is es you. Couldn't you, for my sake, try to be a little more like—like the mt of the men here?" "Like Bodine?*' Swept by eudd'n ang*- at his tone, she burst out at him, "Yes. like Bodine, if you must always bring the talk back to him. At least he does not wear black glaaaes or ride hordes that are cattle, or carry always a siUy camera beneath bis arm. You might do worse than be like Paul Bodine—l would not have to be ashamed then because of you.” In stormy anger the girl tore her hands from his. A moment later he hemd her running up the stairs. so<t a <ioor slammed at the end of 'he hall. Douglas made no move to follow. The silence of the patio deepened, and a feeling of intolerable wear!neso held him brooding. Was it for thio he had returned’ A wave of bitter rebellion surged over him at the changed world he had cume back to. Even to hw be had to wear a mask against those who loved him--to be ever on guard, to play a part, to trust no one. and sitting there m the sdenee it came over him that be was an alien in thia, his b<wne—an alien, mocked at. threatened and distrusted amid changed times In the half light of ihe patio Douglas’ face seemed older, and the straight line between his brow* grew deeper “Fst4e"-f<owning, he remembered the word Alison Neale had used Well, p. rfaaps she was right. He had been beet more than a month now. and what was accomplished? Suddenly he straightened With the force of unwelcome reveiatioa he rvofci'ed that one thing alone lay behind thia altitude of dejection— Alison Neale hr 4 lied. Well, what of that?

ored. “We are riding over to Paul Bodine's.” A little defiantly she add'-d. “Won't you come along?’* His eye* were smiling in the way! i she disliked, and to her surprise he i answered. "Nothing would please , me more.” At once he sent a peon boy to saddle his horse, choosing with ironic malice the sedate liUfe mar* hi* aunt sometimes rode, and a half hour later they were trotting down the road toward the border. They found Alison in overalls, bard at work in her garden. Without rising from her knees, i she pointed accusingly at a dozen disfiguring burrows made by gopher? in the midst of her garden plot. “Os all our underground workers, which are worst—Brotherhood er gophers?" th* lamented Then seei <ng Douglas, bespectacled and clinging to bis beloved camera, that half , mocking smile touched her lipa. "The master of Miracle Mesa rides early." “The temptation to visit so delightful a hostess finally Imcaine ir resistible,” he answered lazily, and slid gingerly from hia horse. “Beside*. this ranch ano garden—they are *o lovely May I take ita picture? No. do not move. You too I want. Just as you are." "There This will make my day worth while.” The sound of a slippered foot shuffled from the poreh. and with a little start llouglaa saw standing in the doorway the tame thick set Chinaman who had passed him at Record'* ranger station. Paying no attention to the others, the man approached Alison. “Miaaae Neale have lunch The face was wreathed in smiles. "Not to-day, Lin." the girl anth*n Douglas she added, “This is Lin Foo, the best cook on the border," in a high, thin voice the Chinese laughed and bowed, both hands lucked within his broad sleeves. Through a second's silence bc.*h men watched each other, then Douglas drew from hit poeket a small object. 1 have always wanted to a«k someone who knew just what this caning meant,” and stepping forward be held before the man's face the jade atone that had been left beside Baker’s body by the Yellow Killer.
