triend. Raddiffe Senior had lost a fortune in Mexico years before. At a party given by Major Blount of the U. S. Army, Ted meets Paco Morales, ruling power of Mexico, and his beautiful niece, AUela, Morales tells how El Coyote, the mysterious bandit, killed a man about to reveal his hideaway. El Coyote steals from the rich, particularly Morales, and gives to the poor. Mayor Blount announces that the U. S. cavalry will join in the search for the bandit. A wounded Mexican, believed to be one of El Coyote's band, is captured. Ted is stunned to learn his father died penniless. Bob attributes the failure of Ted’s father's Mexican irrigation project to Morales. whose reign would have end-
ed with its success.

Why, 1 haven’t five hundted dollars to my name, and I can’t stay here.” Bob shook his bead. “You’ve got to stay here.

W e’U build gait * il I. l or the next week we’ll ride and talk and lay our campaign. 1 can do someth ng, old nun. You’ve got to let me.” Caught up by the eanestness in the man’s voice, Ted laid both hands on Bob’s shoulder. “Thank God y ou are here. It’s all so unreal. And tonight I can't see much ahead.” A dying ember clattered noisily on the hearth. Cob walked toward the door and once moie his voice had tecovered its old matter-of-fact
quality.
“There’s rye and Scotch in that cabinet, T ed. You ve been through a dark place in your life tonight and in a few hours it will be dawn Let's think of it as a real dawn. Meanwhile, I’ve got something that has to be done before the sun rises so don’t wait up.” ^gain Radcliflfe's eyes watched the graying logs. He seemed to be talking to the fireplace. “Queer,” lie said, “I can’t feel sorry for dad. I can't find pity for him. He was too tine for pity.” But the quiet voice only answered: “1 think I know your father even better than you. And I know, too, •omething of the feeling that makes a gambler of a man, and makes him willing to stake every thing, perhaps even the things he has no right to stake. And now, good night.” The footsteps of Don Bob died down the path. Within the house it l,ad grown suddenly cold. A tesln ous branch of mesquite hissed noisily and still the man stood blooding before the hearth, with somber, unseeing eyes fixed on the flickering
hre.
A chapter closed. The chapter oi his tirst youth had closed. For the first time a sen»c of the great uncertainty of life came over him, a sense of the vast, unreasoning tyranny of fortune. At last, something like a sigh escaped him, and turning away he dropped his cigarette ® among the dy ing coals. A... —e -* —— *:..: .._

"But the fellow was wounded,” protested Kadclifte. “He couldn’t

"Of course lie couidn t. Not alone. He had help. Someone was keeping watch. All night someone must have kept watch—even while we were out there he may have had his eyes on us.

He flashed on the light and the fellow lay there all quiet, with his eyes closed. Every two hours after that the guard looked in and the boots were still there. And this morning those damned boots were still there, but, by the Lord, that Mexican wasn’t. He had taken them off. stuck them neatly outside the blanket, and vanished. Somebody came for Inm, smashed the lock, and carried him away." Aga^p the old soldied called down eternal maledictions on his fortune. “He was our best bet, that peon—our only bet. * - a r. Aii
