could see their pursuers no longer. they rested a little. Domingo un- slung the leathern water-bottle from his shoulder. which had not been touched until now, and gave Armeda drink
 Then he made a motion as if swal- lowing some himself, and poured lit- tie of the water into the palm of his hand and moistened the mouths of the horses with it.
 The midday sun rose high overhead, and as they rode on through the long afternoon, on through the scorching desert, on through the terrible Nal pals, 1t beat down upon them merci- lessly.
 The wind that came across the dreary waste was blown straight from fiery furnace. The air shimmered with heat, and the bright metallic glitter upon the polished lava burned upon their eyeballs and made them reel, sick with dizzy faintness.
 Once Armeda swerved from her sad dle and would have fallen, but was stayed by her companions hand. He gave her more water to drink And when the moon came up again they yet rode-riding for life. They rode now from something more terri ble than the regulars But they rode slowly, uncertainty, and the miles stretched longer and longer; the wa ter was all gone no ", and their mouths became dry and parched and cracked, so that they could not talk.
 But the outlaw touched the girl gently now and then, and she an- swered him with look of supreme content She was willing to accept that which the saints should will.
 Finally her horse stumbled and fell, and could not rise again. Domingo caught her in his arms.
 Leave me, and ride" she whispered.
 But he only raised her to his own saddle, and the good Juan bore them both forward.
 At last he, too, fell. Then Domingo laid the girl on the ground, and, kneeling beside his horse, called him by every endearing name. conjured him by all tue dear saints to rise and carry them out of the black horror OHS AAOAAA L44eAL CuIo oCd Dtdct tDdS n1u been named for the father of all evil the Evil place.
 But the Malpais only clutched their lives the more
 He rose and lifted the girl in his arms and made forward as best he could Weakly, blindly, staggering and sometimes falling, but always for ward, with strength born of despair.
 ''Leave me-" the girl whispered again, "and save yourself"
 But Domingo knew the awful jour- the white moonlight, mountain peak loomed dimly. How far it was he could not cell, but somewhere between him and it was water.
 Ifhe could only keep on little longer they would be saved
 But even in the moonlight there does distance cheat the eye-does it still lie to one. Whenever he raised his head and looked across the plain to the mountain it seemed so far off, so unattainable, that his heart sank
 Still he struggled on through the long night. But just before day broke he fell and lay outstretched beside his burden on the black lava
 And then the sun came up and beat upon them, and they died.
 And old Torreon herded the goats that he had stolen from the English man, and looked ever away curiously towards the east. And the adobe huts of Manalillo knew again the quiet of a hundred years-and the Malpais lay and glistened in the sun

good three leagues from Manalillo was the ranch where Vicentio Torreon, her father, herded a few goats and basked in the sun all day, asking little in life except to be left alone.
 The night was still as it was white, except for the far-yelping of a coyote or the hoot ot an owl
 After time the sound of distant hoofbeats was added to these. A horseman drew in sight, silhouetted against the clear sky, rode up to the m at an easy lope and halted in front of the hut.
 You are glad to see me-" said the rider sarcastically, as neither the man nor the girl stirred; it is worth riding far for such welcome"
 "We are tired" answered Armeda indifferently.
 "Yes, Domingo, we do something besides play. we," grunted Torreon.
 The horseman flung himself down beside the girl ''Tell me-" he said
 I've have lost the new goats.
 1.-The ones you had from the Eng lishman?"
 Torreon chuckled a silent assent, remembering now they had gotten them.
 Did he come for them?" asked Do- mingo.
 Bah, mol He has not that courage. They have strayed away, up the ar royo."
 "They will come back"

AN OUTLAWS HEROINE,
Toge ther They Perished on the
 Great Western Desert.

Manalillo was only a collection of adobe huts, huddled under the eye of the burning sun, in the midst of the burning Arizona desert
 Maybe it had been there an hundred years maybe twice that time-for its annals were writ only in the sands of the wide, brown plain, and that which is written there to-day the wind cover eth tomorrow.
 But presently the railroad came, and with 1t signs of development. A ranch man gathered up the nucleus of a flock of sheep; some miners outtitted and went prospecting in the mountains; a fellow who had some smattering of science went off by himself into the heart of the Apache country, and came back with opals, rich with strange fire.
 These, and others like them, came to look upon Manalillo as their base for supplies; the place grew in importance; people from farther district began to come hither. and many riders, in fan tastic dress, were seen upon the streets.
 Some of these riders it would have been difficult to classify. They were certainly neither ranchmen nor miners It might not have been a serious mat ter to call them gamblers. Some of them were more than suspected of hav- ing helped to hold up" the Fort Stan ton stage on occasion; more than one rode horse for which he had never exchanged an equivalent.
 In the terse vernacular of the south west, they were simply bad men"
 It was because this portion had be- come too numerous that the leading citizens decided society must be reor- ganized, and they went about the task methodically.
 Among these bad men," the name of Domingo Juarez led all the rest, and it was decided by those having au- thority in the matter that Juarez must "go," preparatory to the establishment of au orderly community.
 When Ameda Torreon rode into Manalillo that afternoon to exchange a goats fleece for measure of meal she learned that matters of grave im- portance were afoot.
