CHAPTER L1V "Whv did you lead them to this trap. Manuel:" "Setior, we were thirsty, and two of us were sick. And, as you know, only in this canon is good, cold water and gr.i s for the horses. And nr did not think "I know, It dots not matter. And yet for a cold drink nt water the history of the border must be changed. For a moment’s tolly you find yourselves faced with a canon full of cavalry. But let that go. t hring you good word. You are free men again. Within half an hour the Amcrii .in cavalry moves down the trail, h .iving you free." Manuel crossed himself. "Free! But, Sthor. it is a miracle.” He laughed and looked about him. ‘‘None but I I Coyote could do that, eh, my children?" Boh stilled the shout of rejoicing with an upraised hand. "You are right, Manuel. None could have done it hut HI Coyote, yet evicn for lit Coyote it was at a price.” I tic long, i lose fellowship between those two men made Manuel guess the answer. His smile of exultation died and in a tremulous whisper he .I'-ked, "You gave yoursell up tor us?” "What else I offered |'| Coyote in exchange lor his hand. There wa no other way. It was a good trade. Without you I could have done lit tie, for you are the best of those who have come to me. It was better so. And yet,"'—his elenrhed fund tightened on the saddle-horn—"we were so near victory." For a time in the gloom of that granite recess he looked at them Fearless, impulsive, doghke in their loyalty, hath of them he had known —the history and ihr hopes ot each. They had far ed death together, they had kept har k the power of Morales. Yes. it had been a good game, ami a little glow of pride and of afteclion for these strangely assorted men showed now in Don Bob's troubled eyes. They stood silent, helpless before the disaster that had overtaken their leader. Uneasily thev looked at one another, like dumb animals in pain. He hail been th*’ir ptoteclor. He had led them in revolt. He had taught them to hope, and now he wa- going aw ay to face—none dared even gin -- Manuel's voice trembled. "Must it be this, amigo: I - it not better to tight our way out? ( ottte, stay with us and together when darkness comes we will tight our way to Ireedotn again Do not let them take you. Without you what are we but helpless children- Do not go from u*. you who have been oyr lather " Rut Don Boh -hook his head and smiled. Then tor the last tune he spoke “We bate never pulled trigger against the soldiers ot either your country or mine. To do that would have meant dctcat to the cause. But tnv going does not mean defeat Behind me I leave you to r.arrv on. You are the hope of the borderland Be men and no ore ran make you slaves Stand for the liberty that alone makes Itte bearable a.. il'iU Wi 'l Sfivst seed *e or aci-.!

But the major was already turning one. You will be enough, each ot you, unto yourselves. And now 1 go. There is much I would say to each of you, but the words would bring me pain, and here there is enough pain. You who have been faithful to me. be faithful to my memory. Protect the weak and make the strong fear you. If I could 1 would stay with you always, for you are men, and life with you was good. Anil now"—Bob held out both hands in a little gesture of parting—

"adios, amigos.”

Like statues they stood about him. Like motionless, sorrowing statues they watched him mount and turn away. Above them the wind intoned a low requiem among the branches of the mountain Mrs The sun cast long gashes ot shadow across the canon, and not until the last echo of Ins parting died away did these men move. Then, blinded with tears that would not he held back, old Manuel made tin sign ot the cross. "May (ioiI deal gently.” he whispered brokenly. "May the Mother of

Cod be kind.”

Already the major had ordered his men down the trail. He gave no reason lor tins sudden ending of the search, and the puzzled faces of his men were a mule reproach that, in his new affliction, the grizzled soldier did not even notice. When Bob joined him he was already sitting his horse, impatient to (fe gone anil put an end to those intolerable thoughts. Together they rode down the canon, each unwilling to begin the task that had to rn'Mc -the task that could lead to but one end. So in silence they rode ahead ot the main body ot cavalry ..nil when, by late afternoon, they emerged upon the level ih -ert trail, the major began. "Bob,” he said, "nothing in life Has ever hit me ju-t as this has. It's knocked me. It - going to change all —even thing in Verdi. The men who looked up to you. the leading part you took in everything Verdi did. I hey'll all slick by you, every man.

And yet. what can must be something thing I can do. Tv think, hut this the I hnd myself wi-h followed that trail, to. didn't I Boh " ing were deep on

over plans. "Boh, suppose I hand you over to the Mexican government. There’s nothing to prevent that, since you were caught on Mexican soil. Then every man of us will get Morales to say the word that will free you. You could repay him every head of stock you ever took. Your ranch would more than da that. But if we bring you to trial in the States it means a long federal action and prison. Bob, for a long term. Perhaps file.” Bob raised his head and looked at the sunlit world about him. “Two years ol prison would be life for me. Yes, Morales would have the power to releu-e. He would be the only one with such power, but he would never do it. and I can't say 1 blame him.” He shook his head. "No, let s not give the old buzzard that last satislaction. I couldn't take my pardon at his hands. But 1 do ask this. 'There are arrangements to make. 1 want to see that every man ol mine is made sale, as safe as anyone can be in this tragic country, Tve already left a note at the hank providing tor something like this. 1 want 1 cd to manage the ranch as an equal partner while I'm—away; and il 1 die I'm leaving the works to hint. He'll he a leader among the ranchers in five years. So I want a couple of days before you let it he known you have captured El Coyote.” "I'll give you all the time you need, Boh. E ven if the worst happens you won't he kept tinder detention until the trial comes. But don't let your men try a rescue. That will only mean bloodshed. And after that. God knows. Meanwhile, spend the night with me at camp, and tomorrow I'll go to Verdi with you. Verdi.” he repeated brokenly. ,‘T wish to Gou I’d never seen it.” "Softly," admonished Don Bob. and rubbed the velvet ear of hts horse. "Remember what the Spanish proverb says: ’The work is with us. the event with God.' Who knows what still lies ahead, for good or evil The sun had passed high noon on the following day when, powdered with alkali. Bob and the maior reached the Verdi reservation. Ted had dnven in trom the ranch and was sitting on the shady porch of the commandant's home, with Aunt Clara and Adela. Even before the maior had taken of! his spurs his wile read some vague, troubling message in the air. She linked her arm in his. and with quick anxiety scanned the major's worn face, bm wise with the wtsdort of years, she only said. “Come ami -it down, you two Lunch ts on its way." Blount kissed her. "Em going inside and take a long drink of brandy, dear,” he told Iter. Then he left them. On the porch Aunt Clara turned !» Bob "What’s wrong? Here, don't roll one, light one of mine.” Adela held a match. With a sigh ot weariness Bob sank hark into the chair that Ted had brought forward "You spoil me. you three. Y ou make me entirely too comfortable." CTo fie Continued Tomoert^*
