Ted receives an tnstnuotn.g message from Jito, Morales' - ..rd, who is insanely jealous of him The inevitable clash has come and i- -lie ensuing life-or-death battle, Ted wins but spares Jito’s life Adela visits Ann CHAPTER XLVI How lie knew that Radrliffr was n mi room last night.

as the rancher ran down the steps shr laid both hands on his arm "Yon heard what my uncle did?" He nodded "It was unworthy of a rahallero I am ashamed for him and for me. But what shall I say to Ted?" He patted her hand "Better say nothing at all dear It's over, and besides I ed had quite a busy evening after that " 'Flow is he* Ami where is he?" Boh nodded toward ihe house "Inside, trying to shave with his left hand He's just a little awkward this morning (or some reason.” Then his eyes wire tired with the memory ot that struggle, and he - hook the girl grntly by the suoublcis. Oui led made immortal border history last night Adela Jito's defeat will mean more ior ihe jreori than a dozen of El Coyote's raids Bui when did you hear of ili'' "By dawn this morning the vaqueros brought the news to the ranch, and an hour later Jitorode in He was terribly haltered Uncle and I put him to bed. and later be and lito had a long talk together, but they told me nothing " A door closed above them, and they looked up to see Ted His ngh* hand was bandaged and above His iorehead stretched an angry bruise. As he saw Adela his fare lightened Running quickly down the steps he look her hand and raised it to his bps "I've been so worried since l heard." she said simply, and even now there was a little tremor in her voice "You're not hurt?" Ted shook his head He tried to speak casually "I'm as sore as the very devil but not hurt Your little cousin has left Ins mark on every square inch of me. but in six months or a year I II be fit as ever." Together they sought the shadow of the porch, and as Don Bob lighted the girl's cigarette she looked swiftly up at Ted "I'm not going to talk about last night—not ever It was a cruel stupid act of my uncle's—and I shan t forgive him for that You 'ee. my friend. I have never known anv American well—and so my uncle is bitterly afraid 1 may fall in love with you" She smiled "Is it not a rompbrfient big Americano?" Then, suddenly serious again, she added But all this means you are in danger—very real danger Jito will not let many days pass before he wipes ou* the memory ol last night And it mav hr my uncle will help him You must not rome into Mexico again Ted Even here you are not safe ' "Safe from what?” "From Jito and from something — I don't know what There's a shadow I rant explain but that frightens me Don't you feel it.

assfl
his hat "It’s the first holiday I've ever hern offered—let’s go before this old slave driver repents." And together they ran down the steps to the girl's car "You're going to meet Father Campos if you come with me,'* Adela told Hun as they sped along 'He fled over here to the little Mex Iran chapel in Verdi when the churches were closed by the government in Mexico He'll be good fer that warlike soul of yours Have you met Him?" ‘ But Ted shook his head "I don'lj even know where the church is. I've, always had a half distrust foe' churches. They seem to keep ocf'
God "
"What an odd tlioiigut!" "Not to me Always to me God ha^ meant sunshine and open sky. It's as if there is a great deal of God in the wind and in the silence of the stars. More than in church. Is that a foolish thought?" "Who can tell? You might ask the padre." At the entrance to the little sunbaked church they found the man of God seated in the shade of a willow. Many years had passed over I’adre Campos, and some sorrows. He had seen the growth o( that country from a little prairie village to the paved and bustling town of Verdi He had seen swift killings, and many of tho-c baptized by his own Hands he had lived to see die in violent and sudden passions. And all this had left hmi with eyes that were a little weary, but with lips that were always ready to smile It was something the years had never dimmed, the sweetness and sympathy of that
smile.
He spoke without the least accent as he took Ted's hand. "I bad Heard of you. my son. when first you rame Today I hear of your great strength and of the use you pul if to last night Would it be pre* sumptuous for an old man to say that I am sorry the strength Goc gave you should be turned to tbt pain of another man? "I had no choice, father.” "1 know, I know. Jito is a violent child He has never learned that until one is master of one's own passion, he is only an animal." _ * Still smiling the old padre turned to the girl ' You would make even the great anti-Christ, Nietzche, believe in angels, with that face of yours But let us go inside, where it is coot ” Adela smiled up at Ted *‘J wonder if we dare? You see. padre, this young man believes—how did he sav it?—that churches keep out
God/'
The old priest nodded gravely.' Many churches have tried to. my child, but where love enters, there is God Is that not true, my son?” __ A throb of understanding caught Radclifle at the old man's words.' Ffere was one who had learned to live at peace with his own soul, who, m a world where about him men fought and pi--tied still believed 16 the power ol love. Together they went in Irom the blazing noonday sun to the cool obscurity of the little church Peace was there. The closing door shut out the world. "A church, the padre was saying as he looked at the bare rafters above, "a church is not important either for good or eyil except as it lifts up men s hearts. Tj'hat is why, when they drove me ou) of Mexico and closed the churche's, I did not despair, for 1 knew that if we had any place in the hearts of the people iome day we should come back. Ano 1 knew that if we had no place it would be better that we do not ever come back. Besides, we Mexicans have a saying ‘The desert is of God and in the desert no man may 4e°y hies’ N", '
