Only yesterday she lectured me because I do not ride enough. Ixad your stallion Into the corral.” Hastily, as If impatient for the sunlight, the huge horse stepped out from his atali, walking with a fastidious lightness that brought a thrill of pleasure to Douglas' heart, while in uneasy silence the rest of tha group followed to the corral, where Douglas and the stable boy alone entered the circular enclosure. Through the bars of the corral Douglas handed Alison his camera "If you would hold this for me, please?" She took it, her puszled eyes on his, and without another word the man turned to face his huge antagonist. Head eraet, nostrils distended, the stallion seemed to be waiting. Beneath its shining coat Douglas could see the play of powerful muscles, and he knew that master horseman as he was the task before him would be no easy one. Unhurriedly he stopped forward, and while the peon held the animal's head, ho climbed dumsily into the saddle, then looked uncertainly about him until Bodine smiled tn open relief—no one who sat a horse as be did could hope to ride- Coronado. “That solemn owl will not keep his glasses long," the little man murmured to Alison, then called to the peon, “Let go his head.* Instantly the servant darted back and clambered to the topmost bar of the corral—the arena was free at last to those two wary adversaries. Both were absolutely immobile now, poised as if taking each other's measure Then without warning, without a sound, the battle was on. Bolt upright on hind l<-gs the ani mat reared until It stood towering above the eorral, pawing the air with its forefeet while the saddle leather creaked with the tension . and Douglas’ feet clamped downward in the stirrup*, tiuperbly confident, the great brute balanced there, then whirled, sending the rider% hat spinning to the dust, and gathering himself, ha leaped three 1 times, landing with stiff forelegs, 1 jarring the very er 'h with the- im- • pact.

tered that it concealed itself, and even Record found it hard to believe that this swaying, shaken, all but defeated rider was producing an illusion that surpassed any mere horsemanship the border had ever seen. It was mystification in its highest form—the very essence of equine mastery. He seemed so rear disaster, yet that disaster never came. Suddenly Record's heart .umped and Alison screamed. Without warning the great stallion had reared upright and flung him-elf backward in n last attempt to conquer his enemy by crushing him l>e. neath the saddle horn. Ix>lh hid her face in her hands as the maddened beset fell straight on its back, hulling a cloud of taway dust high in the air, obliterating the two con teatanta from the sight of the anxious spectators outside. Record war half over the wall of the corral wh< n horse and rider crashed to earth, and through the sand-filied air h<saw Douglas leap a»ide. landing on his feet. Again the swirling dust of the eorral hid them, but when the air cleared the stallion was standing upr.ght, while quietly in the saddle, brushing the sand from his shoulders, Dpuglas sat. The battle was over. Trembling head lowered, all the fire gone from his eyes, the great beast seemed the very picture of defeat, but not yet trusting that sudden surrender. Douglas raised the reins, touching the quivering flanks gently with his spur, and in response the horse moved a few feet forward, then slopped, as if awaiting the will of its master Three times about the corral Douglas rode, causing thI horse to wheel, stop and start again, then slipping from the saddle, he led his new prize forth. With eyes still unbelieving, the watching peon slid to earth, and fa ' as bare feet could carry him he raced to the stable to tell the talc of how this Gringo had ridden Coronado. Record, meanwhile, wss pounding Douglas* back in high delight, and still breathless with the struggle Douglas looked about hnn. "But where is Bodine?” The ranger grinned. "Just went inside. Somehow he wasn't looking happy. "Not happy? But what a pity! I must leave my little mare with him as consolation." From a distance Douglas saw Alison's eyes fixed on him in a long, thoughtful scrutiny, and quickly h« turned to stroke Coronado's neck. But as they rode back late that afternoon. Record took the first opportunity to voice his misgivings "It wasn't wise. Jack,” he said, when the girls were out of earshot. "Bodine will never forgive y«u for taking that horse away from him ” "Partly for that I did it,** l>oug las answered. "This masquerade has served a good purpose, but its time is nearly over." "And then?” "Then I want to gather together ! the f*w ranchers who still have . courage, destroy that cursed morada before they rvaliM we've start-d, and And the hiding place of the Yellow Killer." "Sounds like a fair-sited mouth- ( ful to me. And today you may find . you have another enemy at hand by riding that inan slayer. Don't ever underestimate Paul Bodine " "Oh, it's never wise to underestimate anyone,” Douglas answered lightly. And not until later war hr ( to learn how true a word he had spoken.
