CHAPTER II « — A Sabbath <*alm lay upon the hacienda of Don Jaime Miruel Hijruenea. lord of the Rancho Valle Verde, notwithstanding the fact that it was not Bunday. Don Jaime jp>z<‘d out through the arched entrance of hla MjfejK A Sabbath Calm Lay Upon the I Hacienda of Don Miguel Higuene*. : 'ft patio toward the distant, blue, ser rated hills where the United States of America ended and the Republic Os Mexico l>< .an. “1 wonder.” he thought. “what Is going to become of the tliguenea family” ( The problem proving too much for him. Dun Jaime did that which all of his rnce do with the utmost euse and without pjrelindnary notice. He fell Into a gentle slumber. And while he slept a man oA a h>>n«‘j colored horse with a dark stripe running the length of his hacklmne rode up to the hacien da entrance, dismounted, and strode stiffly through the ar<’.»■<! entrain e and «!own the flower bor,-r.-I gravel walk to the veranda. Observing Don Jaime at pence In the arms of _\! >r pheua the stranger removed a full cartridge b>d, with two pi-v.ds. an* hung bls armament on one of a pow of huge spike* drlveik into the adobe wall of the. house. Quietly he iltw another chair alongside Don Jaime, and disposed his tired body in It. Don Jninie murmured. without troubling to open his eyes. “Who the devil are you?" ft'Waka up, you lazy greaser. and see.” the visitor retorted. “When you apeak in your naturally loud, vulgar and Irreverent tone of voice I recognize you. I do not have to look.” Don Jaime sp.-ke perfect English, but the faintest clipped accent denoted It was not his mother tongue, lie added In Spanish: “Wei come to my poor house. It Is yours, grlhgo." “I don’t want your poor bouse. All I desire la accommodation and food foe and myself until morning and—" “Thou graceless one!" Don Jaime murmured drowsily but without offense. “But what else can one ex j met of a Texan—and particularly a i • ranger? But what brings you , here, my frf. nd?" . “A desire to be neighborly and to offer a alight return for your many evidences of princely hospitality — that and a natural desire to enjoy It again. Since when did you go into the sheep business. Jimmy?" Don Jaime’s dark eyes o|wn»'d widely nnd the hint of an ever ready smile failed from hie handsome fra tures, leaving them unlw-i .nably stern. "Where?" he demanded. * •"About ten miles south of here, I came across country from s.tu Ysidro and humj»ed Into them on your range. About forty % thousand of ilmm. I should say, although I'm no judge of sheep in quantity. The brand la Circle A" t "Tom Antrim s outfit. Well, if he's only ten miles from her? he's trespassing nn my range. Thanks for the Information. Ken. Fee I |* pretty scarce to the east of me and I suppose Tom Antrim got desperate. Tea. you have your urn's, gringo." “If you care to run Into Los Algodones and swear to a warrant charging him and John Don and Richard Roe and James Black and Thomas Green and say a dnsen other off color gents with trespassing. I’ll pick those boys up and lodge them In the Jusgado: then yon and yonr boys can run the'sheep off In peace." "I don't want to run them off In peace. Ken." Dm Jaime replied languidly. “I’ve done that before and it doesn't work. They always ohm back. Sure you haven't got some other work to do tomorrow?" "Now, look here. Jimmy." the ranger protested, “you listen to me. Tom Antrim’s there to stay. So Trn going to hang around the neighborhoods He's got twenty herders with him and 1. noticed they all carried rifles." •A man’s house is his castle." said * Don Jaime contemplatively, “and 1 presume that principle applies to the lands contiguous thereto.

Then beat him to the draw." “You are always my good friend," murmured Don Jaime gratefully. "Now. listen. Jimmy." Ken Hobart consiimed. *’Tomorrow I shall ntake it my business to <irop in to that sheep camp for luncheon. A little later you will ride up, alone and unarmed, I’ll report to Antrim that you're bent on an argument, hut not In the smoke; nnd he'll go out to talk to you, be<“.j!jst» | shitll advise ft strongly.

A captain of rangers' testimony carries weight with a jury. xv. 4t just isn’t possible to convict a IBguenes tn hla county. You have never killed anybody or Invaded another's rights—and that old bustard. Antrim, has never done anything else but." r “You are always." Dm Jaime Miguel iliguenes reiterated, “tny very go«>d friend. And you are as wise as a treeful at owls.’ Ton plot with all the consummate era it ♦' my own people" "Where the devil do you sappqse 1 got my education. If not along the Rio Grande?” Ken Hobart retorted. He lit a cigar and looked out over the pleasant garden. “Gosh, you’ve got a alee place here, Jimmy. 1 wish I’d been as discriminating in the selection of my ancestor* as you were.” Dan Jaime laughed lightly. “Only a little while ago I was reflecting that I have not had opportunity to practice the discrimination evinced by my ancestors In the picking of wives. Friend hobart." he replied. “If you would be lord of a rancho marry » lady who has one and doesn't know what to do with iL Fortunately. I possess thees —I mean this—rancho, soldo not need the lady'*’ "If you did. Jimmy, where the devil find her?” “You have the delightful habit of placing your finger on the weak spot, my friend. Where. Indeed, would 1 sad a suitable wife? I am too busy

with thees—l mean this —ranch, and when, once or twice a year I wander to the fleshpots it Is to be filled with amaxemenf and tear-of what would happen to me if I marry a modern, gtrl." "You have all of a Castilian’s horror of a woman who believes she can take as good care of herself as any man can. I suppose you want a girl who will consent to dwell behind bars, take rio exercise and stand for a fat old duenna tagging around behind her. not to see that she avoids romance but to make certain she doesn’t act natural and seek It.” “You are wrong, my friend. I am quite modern but a hit old-fashioned, too. I have been In love many times hut only in love with love. I must think long and carefully before asking any woman to share this life with me. Here, she would be lonely. She would look from this hacienda to horizon and see—rattle. She would look back and see—me. Ono grows weary /of scenery. She would come to regard me as a Jailer, not a husband. So I must be careful." “Well, when yon meet the girl yon truly fall desperately in love with, and she reciprocates your passion—" “She.” quoth Don Jaime Miguel Hisuenes solemnly, "shall he the mother of mv children ” Here?" I “Where she will, my friend.” D*n Jain e replied with simple sincerity “Thon. Jimmy." said Ken Rohm". “1 hope, for purely setfish reasons, you’ll meet yonr fate before long anfl that she'll refuse to marry you until ' you sell th s * ranch and move to Hotis : ton nr Dallas or San Antone or— ’’ 1 'T,> IF :u-nes men do not t;tk«» or i decs from women,” Don Jaime in- | terrupted. “And this rancho will . never be sold. Four generations of my family have owned it and fought for R. I love it.” "Wi-li. if she asks It, you*ll buy her a town house nnd live there xvith her part of the year, will ynn not?" "Asking Is not ordering or delivering ultimatums—" “Ultimata, Jimmy." the ranger corrected him. mischievously. “At any rate.” Don Jaime resumed, declining the argument, "it would be a del’ght to be led but h—l to be driven." . ■»' “Well, when some girl starts leading you. you'll need a good manager for this ranch. Jimmy. I'm growing weary of the rxH-kless. tnodratly paid life of a rar’ :or . . . sj least I could l»e depended on to keep this range free of sheep.” “There are also bandits from below the border who raid my cattle The cemetery of the Rancho J'atle Verde has gyown fast of late years." “Border fighting Is right up my alley. James, old son." "As a ranger yon fight with the law behind you. You start with a ’moral victory. Rut as manager of this ranch, which God placed too close to the Rio Grande for comfort, yon would have to he very careful. It Is better to be the head of a mouse than the tall of a lion. However. Friend Ken. If the time should come for me to tie myself to a girl’s apron strings I shall send for you.” D»n Jaime lifted from the floor be side his cfyalr a copy of a pretentious magazine devoted to country life in America. “Here Is a photograph of a girl.” he agld, turning the page*, fn dolently. “whose face and owe would cast a halo over Texas. Now. If she were as good and sweet and womanly as she is beautiful—’Miss Roberta Antrim.' ” he interrupted himself t<» read from the caption, "‘one of the enthusiastic members of the West Chester County hunt, mounted on her crack hunter crops y Boy.* Must bo an Irish banter.” Don Jaime opined. “Look at that. Ken. and see if you can work up a cheer or two." The ranger studied the page? casually. “Weil, why don't you pull out for Westchester county. New York, secure an introduction to her and see if site's too gmai to be true or otherwise? At least you’d'Start with one kadvantage. She was still unmarried Wh< n this magazine went to press.” \ "<»ne Antrim at a time, Ken. When l\e disposed of Totp it will be time to\<ln«am of having a look at Roberta." 011 aren,t Afraid they're related, are you?" . Dm Jaime favored his guest with j a withering glance. “A man named, Jim Hobart was hanged at Austin last week," he retorted. “Was he a relative of yours—thia train robber and murderer?" "Tea," Ken Hobart answered evenly. “he was my half-brother. And I tracked him and captured him. A black sheep will crop out in the best of regulated fam!lira, you know." Don Jaime’s hand caressed that of his friend. “1 did not know. 1 am sorry, my friend." Ken Hobart turned bleak eyes upon his host. "I want tn quit the rangers, D>n Jimmy. I wasn’t Jesting v hen I said I’d like to be the manager of Ranthn Valle Verde if you should ever need me." “Y<»u are the man I have been seeking. Ken. When y<MI reach town tomorrow wire your resignation to the governor of Texas, and as soon as you are released return here." “Hope you'll be here when I arrive. Jimmy. You’ve got t» fight that Antrim outfit, and whee you do, for the Lord’s sake be carefUL I really want this Job.” “If I atn still here yon will be assistant general manager. If I am not here you will be general manager —and executor of my estate. I will make a new will tonight. Your salary will never be les* than the one you enjoy at present Write your own ticket." he added, with a touch of the • tremendous prodigality of his Castilian blood—a prodigality developed to an excess growth doubtlren, because of the tremendous Inconsequence of his nigged environment Don Jaime made hfil will and hand; ed It to Ken Hobart at breakfast the following morning. “Your instructions are an in that envelope, too.* he explained, "tn ease I should be unfortunate. I have some Mexican first cousins; they’re emigres, living In T-os Angeles,' and I*m leaving them the ranch in trust, with you as trustee and manager. The revolution* hare

ruined them and I support them now. Socially. Tn> proud of them, but the' fact remains that they’re d—d spendthrifts. and if they had their way they’d sell this ranch and the cattle for fifty cents on the dollar in order to start splurging again. And a Mexican grandee is much too conscientious a splurger to continue on the Job indefinitely. Consequently I, with my acquired American conservatism, mast look after the poor devils." “Don Jaime.” Hobart protested, “I’m your employee now. HI wire the governor of Texas my resignation and, -without waiting for its acceptance, I’ll ride back In time to be present when Antrim’s sheep come to the guarded water-holes.” Don Jaime smiled. "As you will. Ken. While I require no additional proof that I have made no mistake in hiring you. still"—he shrugged and grimaced as only a I-atln can—“it Is nice to have It. As you know, we of the H’gnenes tribe are easy-going people. We do not require the services of supermen, for we have never had them, but we have been accustoms* loyalty. Because I know you loyal to your job I hy ve engaged you." “Thank you. Don Jaime.” They rode away Into the southeast together. In a clump of cottonwoods a hundred yards from the sheep camp they parted. Don Jaime waiting while the ranger rode into the camp of the Invaders. A smallish, unnrepossessing man. who might have been anywhere from forty five to sixty year* of age. stood untl 'r a smokcd'scnlored fly over a small barbt'cue pit upon which a side of mutton was roasting. As the~ ranger rode up. this man placed his arms akimbo, and gazed alertly at the stranger. (TO BE CONTINUED.) BOX AFRICA.
