THURSDAY, ILLY U, lU4

The station door swung open, and Don Jaime Hlguenc* limped out, stood as erect as his damaged underpinning would permit, bowed from the hips and all but swept the station platform with his sombrero. Then he straightened and said:. “Meea—l mean Miss Antrim —I am devastated to think—’’ “How dare you presume to address me?” Rol>er|a cut in Icily. "I am not aware that I hare the dubious honor j; Lo< AlgoHv ■e —— “ wfC . I izT ,“How Dare You Presume to Address Me?" Roberta Cut in Icily. of your acquaintance, sir. although I believe you are my uncle's slayer, Jim Higgins.' He stared at her without rancor, nor did the pleasant smile that had crinkled his undeniably good looking countenance fade the slightest; lt>> berta made swift appraisal of him. He was about six feet tall, strongly built. lUhe and graceful. His complexion was a n-d.h-ii brown, a most agreeable color scheme when taken In conjunction with crinkly jet black hair and large, black, snappy eyes. "Black Irish.” Roberta reflected, noting his thick, almost snubby nose, the broad upper Up and the squa’re jowls, "The very worst kind of Irish!” 1 "Yes. 1 am Jim Higgins." Don Jaime admitted, without a particle of shame or*embarrassment, and from the inflection of hts voice, from a certain faint clipped manner of slurring his consonants, Roberta knew that Spuntsh was this man's tongue. "It was uaj misfortune to be the instrument of an Inscrutable fate that wafted jour delectable unde to his mansion in the skies.” '"Has anybody ever told you what a cool scoundrel you are, Mr. Higgins? Do you enjoy killing men?" “Oh. no! Not even in self defense." Roberta had a feeling that she was not going to make much progress in the face of the man's debonair indifference. "What do you mean by trying to shoot my foreman?” ’ “Why. it s the Open season on sheep herders. We’re allowed one, a day, and old Dingle Bell is the first I’ve I flushed in a week.” “He’ll be the last you'll flush in • many years if there Is such a thing ar daw and Justice in Texas.” “OK we’re very law-abiding. Indeed! Very few of us on this side of the Rio Grande kill for pleasure or profit. You’re going to have me arrested. I presume." • “I certainly am.” “Well, when the warrant Is issued the sheriff will telephone me about it and tell me to come In and talk it over. By the way, what are you doing around here, anyway? Is It your intention to camp all night on this platform or were you expecting some body to call for you? Is'lt possible that In a moment of exuberance I frightened Dingle Bell away and thus deprived you of your transportation?” “No, I’ll excuse you of leaving us stranded. Mr. Dingle would have departed In a little while, but not so precipitately. I do not mind telling you that we are waiting for Don Jaime Miguel Hlguenes send a car over for us. Do you Don Jaime?” / “I've known him all my life.” ; “What sort of man is be?” "We-ell, average, I’d call him. Just a fair sample of a greaser. Folks in this country don’t seem to mind having him around. Are you certain Don Jaime knew you were due here to- ’ day?" “Why. I wrote him a week ago." “Well, the hair must have slipped somewhere or he’d have bad a car hare to meet you—yes, and a light motor truck for your baggage. One thing Hlguenes prides himself on is his punctuality and hospitality. I’m very much afraid. Mees —1 me&n Miss—Antrim, that unless 1 get word to Don Jaime that you’re here, the station master will have to take you In. And 1 know he isn’t equipped for comjpany." Roberta’s troubled gaze met the yohkUg man’s with Just a hint of tolerance now. "I suppose you have your human* momenta, Mr. Higgins. Remember. however. I am certainly going to prosecute you for the attempted murder of Mt. Dingle, so don’t tangle yourself up in rash promises to render first aid. You may send word to See** Hlguenes if you wish, but all it will avail you is my thanks." “Toil may even omit the thanks," he replied, brightly. “I am delighted to have aa opportunity to withdraw from jour peppery presence, so with your

permission, senorita. I shall ride swiftly to the humble abode of this fellow Hlguenes and tell him to beat it over here like the devil with his car." Again his hat swept the platform, before he climbed down and limped to his horse, spoke a few words to the boy who was waiting there for him. and set off down the road at a smart gallop, "There goes the handsomest, moat cultured, most interesting ruffian any woman will ever meet,” Roberta declared. ”i do hope his lameness will not be permanent." “He’s marvelous, gorgeous.” breathed Mignon. “I wonder why he doesn’t go In the movies.” “Mr. Higgins ought to get along beautifully in that profession.” Roberta sighed. “He certainly has admirable control of hl* temper. I couldn’t seem to Insult him.” In alx>ut an hour a handsome sedan appeared, accompanied by a speed Roth were driven by youths of Undoubted Aztec ancestry. With out a word they fell upon Roberta’s baggage and stowed it in the *{>eed w.-tgon, whereupon the driver of the sedan approached, hat In hand and said ; “The senor Hlguenes sends thees car and the compliments of heem to the senorita. Don Jaime tell to me to say to the senorita he ees ver' sorry he have make the bonehead play not "to come before. Jus’ now Don Jaime Is ver’ busy weetb wash heemself and make the shave for deener." Robert* smiled at the naive youth’s report and entered the car- with Mignon "I winder what Davy Crockett saw in Texas.” she mused. “He died for It?" As the party reached the summit of a Sow range square mile after square mile of smiling green valley lay outspread before them. Evidently their chauffeur whs> aware of tbe beauty and comfort of the scene, for he stopped thecar to give them opportunity Jto enjoy it. “All thees.” he said with a wave of his hand and a proprietary air. “belong to Don Jaime Miguel Hlguenes. Maybeso I theenk two hundred t’ousand acres In all. Mira, senorita. On the mesa you see the beeg white hacienda weeth the red roof. That Is the home of Don Jaime. He I* my good boss." ' You are very fond of Don Jaime?" Roberta queried. “11 1. senorita. I die for heem. My father she’s die for heem!” Roberta was impatient to see Don Jaime Miguel Hlguenes for whom men died so gladly. She gazed across the lovely valley and thought. J “All those poor, simple people are sheltered under the mantle of his philanthropy. He Is tbe master, the gentle despot whose slightest wish is their law. He is a feudal baron. Roberta. you’re trembling on the brink of a great adventure. How I would enjoy having Glenn Hackett meet and know a man like I*on Jaime Miguel Higuenes .!’’ The car rolled across wooden bridges over irrigation canals: and on the tvorders of a distant field Roberta saw a long queue of teams drawing mow er*. Dozens of hay wagons were loading and stacking the new-cut alfalfa hay; perhaps a hundred men were raking and piling II The fragrance of the harvest came pleasantly to the girl’s senses and It occurred to her that this valley had once been dry and barren until metamorphosed Ihto a vast garden by men of vision, cour age and faith. To her It seemed a big, worth while thing to have donesomething Homeric. There was drama In It —poetry, too. She knew no little man had done this, and that none but a big man could carry on with it. And her Impatience to meet Don Jaime Miguel Hlguenes increased. They swept up through the Indian pueblo and were barked at and pursued by incalculable numbers of dogs of assorted breeds. “If Glenn Hackett were the overlord here he would ban ish those curs. ” Roberta thought, “and justify bls act on the ground of effi ciency and sanitation. But these peonee must have their dogs and doubtless Don Jaime realize* that Let them have dogs—millions of them. What affair is It of his? I dare say he has dogs of his own.” Assorted brown children, tn varying degrees of nudity, stared and shouted at them; fat brown women, seated on door-steps or hanging over fences tn homely gossip, bowed or curtsied; then they were through the pueblo and rushing up a gentle slope, through an avenue of oleanders, past great white barns and on to the ancestral home of Don Jaime Miguel Hlguenes. They halted under a red-tiled porte-cochere, and Mrs. Ganby came out to welcome them. ’’Don Jaime begged me to present hie excuses for his failure to meet you. Miss Antrim,” she explained. "He has been working cattle with his men the past two days—they’re shipping from Valle Verde station—and Don Jaime has only just gotten home and is busy making himself pretty. And this young lady with you la—" “My maid, Mignon, Mrs. Ganby." “Yon are fortunate to have brought her with you. Don Jaime has Mexican or Indian maids—l don’t know which—to care for the house, but until 1 came he had nobody to train them and everything has been at sixes and sevens. Tve been here about aix weeks and am gradually getting order out of chaos. Do you speak Spanish, Miss Antrim F

•Tnfortunately, no." “The servants understand nothing else. lam studying the language and am beginning to make myself understood. You have a modern bath with hot and cold water. Dinner Is at six” “Does Don Jaime dress for dinner*’ “He put* on his coat, even when we haven’t got company," Mrs. Ganby laughed. "In this part of Texas men readily acquire the comfortable shirtsleeve habit." “What a lovely room!" Roberta exclaimed. as she entered. It was a large room, and furnished in an oldworld elegance. In fact, Roberta, who knew something about such things, was satisfied that every article of furniture In the room had come from Spain and waa at least three hundred years old. The windows opened onto the patio, and the scent of flowers filled the room. A cluster of roses occupied a vase on the dressing table. “Don Jaime plucked these and placed them here himself,” Mrs. Ganby informed her. “He was in great distress at having you arrive a day earlier than we expected you. I fear you didn’t figure your time-table correctly. Miss Antrim. Yes, this is the nicest room In the house. It was formerly Don Jaime's mother’s room. Dinner will be served shortly after you have tidied yourself up a bit. Don’t hurry.” Roberta chose to wear that night the dress, shoes and stockings which had precipitated that unfortunate propoaal on the part of Glenn Hackett, and was unusually critical of the manner In which Mignon prepared her bobbed halr/_ She wanted to look her best when she should meet Don Jaime Miguel Hlguenes. At last she was ready and made her way corridor hall Mrs. Ganby led her into Don Jaime’s spacious living room. At a small sideboard, his back toward her, stood her host. He was arrayed in flannel trousers and white buckskin shoes, a soft white silk shirt, a black silk bow tie. and a blue serge coat. Roberta was Impressed by the extreme youthfulness of his figure, for she had anticipated a very much older man and, for a reason she had no ground for entertaining, she had expected him to be short and portly. Mrs. Ganby spoke: “Don Jaime!” He turned. “This young lady is Miss Antrim, Don Jaime." (TO BE CONTINUED.)
