CHAPTER XXX During those day* of convalescence the valley ranchers—all who dared— rode up through the guarded gate to lit for a while with Douglae before the hacienda, sipping Spanish wine and offering their sympathy at his misadventure. There were other visitors not quite so welcome. From Verde came old Lucas, the banker. He could no longer permit his bank to carry the risk of loans already made to Mir* | ac'e Mesa. He must have money. Angrily Douglas laughed. "Money 1 | Where would I get money except I from you? i cannot move ;ny cattle until the rains come.” The banker shrugged. "In that case—" Almost threateningly Douglas leaned over him. "Do you remember what you said to me once in Verde if I overthrow the raiders you would let me have whatever money I need?" "And I repeat the offer—drive . them out once and for all and you can have any amount at any In tercst.” "flood! Give me a month.” "Impossible.” "Give me two weeks." "My dear fellow!” Violently Douglas’ fiat struck the desk. "Give me ten days just ten days, and if I have not driven them ' from the valley you can take over every acre of Miracle Mesa Rancho and every horse and steer that bears my brand." "And you?” “I will make you a present of my services as vaquero.” And In the end Douglas won his brief respite. Paxton, meanwhile, had disappeared with the completeness of the raiders them«<dve» Perhaps the last man who saw him was Paul Bodine. He too had ridden up the mesa to offer his conliolence during the later days of Douglas* convalescence and the two men smoked quietly outside the patio while Ixila sat between them, her big eyes moving laxity from one to the other. "The spite of a discharged employee is always an unpredictable thing," Bodine observed, “yet whoever dreamed it would lead Paxton I to join the raiders? He came to my re so the night you sent him away. I believe he thought that since I belong to your traditional enemies, the rapper miners. I would receive him with open arms. I listened to his story, told him I had nothing for him. and now I understand he has left the country." Douglas made no answer. He was almost certain that Paxton had done nothing of the kind. The man's Jeep-rooted hatred and his intimate knowledge of Miracle Mesa Rancho, rendered him too valuable a tool for (he raiders to Ignore, and although Douglas made no reply, he felt absolutely sure that Ed Paxton would N heard from yet again. So for an (sour the two men talked amicably, end when at last the artist took his eave, Lola walked with him toward ’.he great iron gate, where even in laylight two vaqueros kept constant guard. But now the gate was swinging' >pen to admit another rider, andl Alison Neale dismounted. She I waved to Lola, then cut across the’ awn to where Douglas sat, while* Lola watched her with a little I frown. Unconscious of that resentful scrutiny, the girl seated herself >n the grass beside Douglae' chair •nd. pulling off her riding hat, ran both hands through the thick mass es tawny hair. "Lovely hair," Bodine murmured In Lola’s ear. “At this time of year the aspens turn that same glorious gold" • The words brought a deeper frown to Lola’s face, and the artist added, “They do seem enormously absorbed in each other, those two. "Is It something you just have noticed?” Petulantly the girl retorted, "If you had seen as muck of this as I have, you would realise that i it hasn't been too easy far me.” "I have eeea for a tong lime how i

hard it Is for you, Lola." The man’s , voice was gentleness itself. "Do you , think, on the other hand, that it’s I been easy for me since your cousin , came back, knowing you two are intended foe each other, and yet, car- . ing for you as I have—without even the right to tell you.” t Her hand touched his, and he felt it tremble. "You have Leun a won* , derful friend—my only friend,'’ she , answered, half in tears. Slowly the little man raised her hand to his lips, but as if reluctant ’ to let him go, her fingers ciung to > his arm, and with an apparent effort * to change the conversation he glanced at the vaqueros by the gate. i "So you guard the hacienda night and day now?” , Absently Ixila nodded. r "You must have a small army r here." i "Nearly al! of Juan's riders." f “And still no news of the raid- * era?” ) "Nothing yet, but—" Lola's eyes were still lived on the couple across the lawn. "Juan may learn something to-morrow. The peon ho found in the morada is almost well, but still terribly afraid. Ho worships Aunt Ines for saving his life, and he , will talk to no one but her. This , morning he promised her that if , Juan would send him down to Mcxi- . eo, far away from the raiders, he , would tell everything he knew.” ( Suddenly Lola was conscious that the had said too much. "But I ought not talk about this, even to you, , Paul." He smiled. "Then let's not. There i are many things I would rather talk about, such as the next time you are . coming to my studio.” "I don't know when that will he | With Juan not yet recovered from hie wound-and all the countryside aflame. Aunt Ines hasn't wanted me to go down from the mesa. And yet," great tears stood in the girl’s eyes, "I need help so much. Paul. I'm SO terribly unhappy, and there'a no , one I can go to." "Not even me?” "Yea. you alone.” “Then I'll come to-morrow." But she shook her head. “With Aunt Ines and Juan around, what chance have we to really talk? And this time I want—*' On a sudden impulse the urged. “Paul, meet me here to-night." Bodine’s eyes raised toward Itouglas. "Do you think ft safe?) You know he doesn't want me to I come here so often.” "Meet me to-night " Her low, suppliant voice was almost a caress. 1 "No one will ever have to know." She nodded toward the vaqueros guarding the gate. "I’ll see that they’re away when you come. Please, Paul—thio isn’t just a whim. I need you now as I never needed you before. I—l’m not able to cope with thia alone. You mustn't fail me." He no longer hesitated. "11l be here at the gate tonight at eleven. But if—” A shadow fell between them, and looking up. they saw Lin Foo sitting hie burro just behind them, folding a large white napkin into a basket. Face abeam with smiles, he took off j hie broad hat and bowed to them, I then still smiling, rode toward the I * servants' quarters. "That Chink gives me the creeps.” J Bodine’s gate followed him. “I wonder just how much he heard’” The artist mounted, and leaning down, added in a lower tone, "Tonight at eleven." Ix»la joined the others when Bodine had gone, seating herself beside them in silence, but Alison, . happy at Druglas’ swift recovery , and unconscious of the ominous tightness about Lola's lips, nodded , toward Lin Foo. disappearing about ~ a corner of the hacienda.

bullies mo. This morning she told me I was a big child." "You are a big child," Lola repeated, unsmiling, “and it is because women spoil and flatter you.” Alison laughed. “Do I flatter him too. dear?” But there was no answering laughter in Lola’s eyes. Instead, Alison met a look of undisguised , hostility as sullenly the girl answered, “How should I know what . you say to him? You both stop talking whenever I come near you." An uncomfortable silence followed, and to break it, Douglas spoke of his impatience to see the pure-blood horses still pastured in Verde, and of the news that hie cattle were doing well on the grosses of Sonora. But Alison, haunted by that look 1 in Iwla's eyes, soon rose to go. and Ixila walked beside her to the gate. "I think you had better wait until next week, Alison, before you come again." Ixila looked away as aha spoke. "I want Juan to be kept * very quiet. Too many people aie seeing him for his good " "But you mustn’t worry any longer, dear. Why, he’s almost well enough to ride.” "Don't you think Aunt lne» and I had better be the judges of that?" Ixila's lips were bloodless, and sick at heart Alison laid both hands on the girl's shoulders. "What is it, Ixila? You're so changed. You've been different for the last month, and it make* me *ad to see the change in you. You act a ! -.iost as if you hated me, and there must never be hate between us ” Her low-pitched, earnest voice was pleading now. "Listen, Ixila. if it’s about Juan you must know that he and I are simply partners in an undertaking—an undertaking terribly important to both o'ua. You’ve got to believe me. Let's not forget pa*t : friendship and all it has meant to us. Let's not allow anyone or anything to destroy that. I swear you have nothing to fear from me.” Ixila tried to laugh “What makes you think I am afraid of you? Are you so irresistible?” Despairingly Alison held her eloser. “Ixila, Lola, there must be a way to reach you. Can't I make y. u see how wrong you are about al! this?" But Lola had thrown aside those conciliatory arms. "Keep away from Juan. That s all I ask of you.” Her voice was strident with unleashed I ar.ger. "I always knew you wore treacherous and deceitful. I've watched you day after day trying to worm your way into Juan's life. Oh. i I’m not the only one who knows it —everybody knows. And it’s all clear enough You would like to lie mistress of the great Miracle Mesa Rancho, wouldn't you? But you’ll never be. You hear that? Never! You can conspire—” ".Stop?" Alison's voice silenced the words in mid-air. “You’ve said enough, Lola." Her own eye* were biasing now, her cheeks pink with anger. "Not even old friendship gives you the right to speak as you i have ” "Then say you don't love Juan. Say it. Ix-t me hear you." Bale and with eyes aflame, the | two girls faced each other while ■ slowly Alison’s lips parted. She * made as if to speak, but no sound eame. and suddenly she was aware of the blood surging wildly in her veins, suffusing her throat, mounting to her cheeks. For a second she stood there, silent, then with a little gesture mounted and spurred through the gate. But for long minutes after she had gone, Ixila stood looking down the road, tearing to shreds the small lace handkerchief ehe held. •’You’ll never have him." .ho whispered once, and a spasm of trembling seised her. "Never, never." Her eyee turned to the desert, where in the middle distance she caught sight of Bodme galloping toward the sunset, and tke thought of having him for counselor and ally calmed her. < ►» v«w on MorneM », aws SsMsiw IMH.
