CHAPTER 17 Elizabeth rettig kept track of the Hays by notching a rafter with the butcher knife. When she had cut out fifty-two after Lieutenant Butler and hia detan left, a solitary rider appeared from the southwest. “Tom!" Elizabeth called to her nephew. “Look who’s coming!” The boy came forward on the run. his two sisters following him. He stared for a moment, then dashed out to meet him, Catherine and Mary trailing him. Finley Burkhauser paused long enough to hoist them all to the horse’s back. BUrkhauser was a different man now, leather-chapped, heavily armed. He wore a blanketlined buckskin eoat, and a bright-ly-colored wool scarf. A wide hat shadowed nis face and the crown came to a point fully fifteen inches above the hat band. When -Jhe stepped from the saddle, huge Mexican rowel spurs Jangled musically. There was a silver badge pinned to his leather shirt, and on each hip sat bone-handled pistols with eight-inch barrels. One by one he took the children from the horse, except Tom, who jumped down and strutted around the animal, examining him. Elizabeth smiled and waited for Finley Burkhauser to speak, but he seemed content just to look at her. Finally he took off his hat. “Elizabeth, darned If you aren't prettier than I remembered.” "You didn’t remember me that well,” she said laughing because she knew that he did remember her, that he probably remembered distinctly every woman he had ever smiled at; he was that kind of a man. "Can I ride him?” Tom said, hand on the stirrup. “You can try,” Burkhauser said, smiling still. “Ever see a horse like that, son?” “Gosh, 1 sure ain’t He’s big, ain’t he? What kind is he?” “They call that an Arabian horse. I gave five hundred dollars for him in Dallas.” "Gol —leeeel!” “Go ahead, get on him. But keep a firm hand on the reins; he’s got spirit." Tom hauled himself Into the saddle and gave the horse a small kick with his heels and was nearly unseated. He rode him around the yard, his eyes shining, a breathless expression on his face. Elizabeth said, “Finley, you’ve made him very happy. Thank you.” She took his arm. “Come inside. I want to show you my place.” He opened the door for her .and let her go in ahead of him. “I worried about you, Elizabeth.” “You aeodn’t have, Finley. As you can sec, I’rn fine.” She stood back and looked at him. “You seem taller, bigger. Perhaps it’s Mt* fisted*!*

•The boots,” he said. “Mexican! spike heels. I only wear 'em be-. cause I’m vain.” She Seemed surprised that he I would say a thing like that, and decided that Harry Butler would never have made such an admission to anyone. •‘The star looks good on you. Finley. Right, like it belongs there.” i “It’s the devil to keep shiny.” He put his hat and coat en the table, walked over to the door! and ran his hand over the rough wood. “You the carpenter?” “Tom and L” she said. “We’re proud of It.” “Not as proud as I am of you,” he said. The gentleness of his voice, the Intensity, made her turn. "Now, Finley. I thought we understood that we weren’t going to rush this." He sighed deeply. “All right, all right But you can’t stop a man for having feelings, can you?” He took the tin cup of coffee she handed him then, and squinted over the rim. “Can t I toss my hat tn the ring?” “You have a one track mind,” she said. “I’m happy to say.” His expression brightened. “I can just Speak my mind and hope for the best.” “You have a girl In Tascosa, FU bet” “Nope, and that’s a fact. They just don’t seem to interest me anymore. Elizabeth. You’ve ruined women for me. They all look pale and sickly." Then he laughed ‘That sound tike a He?" “Yes, it certainly did.” "Well, Tm not much of a liar,” he said. “But I’ve thought about you That’s the truth." He drank Ute ooffee, then put the cup on the table. "I’m real interested in the Indians." •They’ve left me alone," she said. “And I wouldn't think of bothering them.” “You don’t know much about Indians,” Finley Burkhauser said. ■They don’t leave anyone alone. Right now they’re looking you over and when they see enough, they’ll come closer. Nothing would please me more that to have you think I rode all the way here from Tascosa just because 1 was sweet on you, but it wouldn't be exactly the truth.” He nodded toward the south. “The Kiowas are stirring about, clanning up. My captain thinks they’re going to start raiding.” “Here?” Burkhauser shook his head. Td say no. You see, the buffalo are getting thin; they hate bide hunters. To an Indian, it’s a crime to kill an animal for his hide and let good meat rot. So the captain thinks they’ll hit Adobe Walls. That's a bide hunter settlement and it’s been squatting in the middle of their hunting ground for a Jong time." “Bat Masterson and his two friends came through here nearly • month agOb** rtie said, They

were on their way to winter out at Adobe Walls, but he said he d stop on his way back.” “Him again.” Burkhauser said. “Why the devil couldn’t he stay in Dodge?” “Now don’t start that. I like Bat He loaned me the money to buy trade goods.” Finley Burkhauser straightened. “Loaned you money? You didn’t borrow it from him, did you?” “Yes, 1 did," Elizabeth eaid finhly. "Finley Burkhauser, if you’re thinking what I think ybu’re thinking, you’re in for trouble.” “Now 1 don’t want to fight, but you could nave come to me.” "Could I? You ran off to join the Rangers.” “Well, you Could have said something, given me some kind of a hint." "Finley, you know you're the kind of a man who doesn’t need any encouragement.” She compressed her lips firmly for a moment. “Let’s not argue when there isn’t anything to argue about. 1 borrowed the money from Bat and I intend to pay it back, every cent, with interest" “I know the kind of interest—“ “If you say it Finley. I’ll throw something at you!” She shook her finger at him. “You’i* as bad as Harry Butler." “Aw, now wait a minute." he said. “Harry’s a nice guy. but ne doesn’t have any imagination. You don’t want to marry a man like Harry. I know him. and he’d take you. but not the kids. To me that’s small mindedness, and you couldn’t live with a man gke that” She frowned, her interest immeasurably sharpened. "Finley, haw could you know that?” “You mean I’ve hit it? Well, I thought Butler would propose." “And you, Finley? Would yo”i hesitate to take the boy?” “No,” he said. “And not because I'm large-handed either. Handling the boy just don’t scare me. that’s all.” He laughed. “I’d take five like him to get you. Elizabeth, and figure 1 got the best of the deal.” She smiled. “My, I’ve undersold myself. Women must really be scarce out here if a man was willing to take on a ready made family just to marry her.” She saw the cloud come into his eyes and for a moment she was puzzled by it, for he resented her words and seemed offended by them. Then she gained an insight into thia man. something she would never forget. He could Joke about his vanity, Ms old sweethearts, his faults, but he would hot have anyone doubt bls sincerity. The strongest woman can have her weak moments, as Elizabeth l» about to reallzA Her firm resolutions about Finley are not K firm after all. The story continues tomorrow.

Dear Friends: Though the great Atlantic lies between us and you folk at home, our hearts are very much with you as we look ahead to the holiday season. It is really the message of Christmas that ha s brought us to this faraway land, isn’t it? For the Lord has called us to go with the message that He has sent his Son into the world and that we, through Him, might be saved. With that as our visidn and inspiration we are facing our study here. We are all four'in school. Little Harry Jr. leads the family in French study. He bravely at first, happily now, goes each day to the Belgian kindergarten where he is now the only one in his class who speaks English. Nearly evfery day he surprises us with a new French expression which he has learned. Alice Jean is very happy in second grade at the International School of Brussels. She is taught in English but has a daily class in French. She finds plenty to keep her busy but enjoys her fellowship with the many other American children in the school. Some are missionaries children and most of the other are children of army personnel. The Colonial Government School sixteen hours a week, and a tutor six hours a week, plus work at home keeps the other two of us quite busy. Many ifi the class have had several years bf French before coming here to study so with little and no French we can’t afford to let grass grow under our feet. We wish you could be in class with us for a day. You would receive a renewed vision of missions. We sit and study together, Germans, Italians, Spaniards, English, Americans, Austrians, Canadians, Swedish, Swiss, a literal tower of Babel, but all striving to learn ’and understand one language, French. About half of the class is Catholic and the other half Protestants of all denominations. , Do continue to hold us up in prayer for that is our source of strength. There is much missionary work to be done right here in Brussels. His promise is “I will strengthen thee, yea, I will help thee” and “Lo, I am with you alway.” His presence is. very real to us. May the presence of the Christ be real and living to each of you during the holidays and all the year. Love and prayers, Mr. & Mrs. Harry Speakman and children, Alice, Jean and Harry, Jr. I 20 Years Ago I I Today I O’.— ■■ 'O Dec. 23, 1938—Thieves broke into the J. J.
