lie Dow, the handsome sixteen year. old
daughter Of Merchant DOW. of Tylquc.
some forty miles east OF this place, has
had wide experience OF snitors OF all
compilations and every shade OF fcro-
city. She is, pretty enough to drive
a metropolitan exquisite to the COM
mission OF cNtrHvaEancCs, and II will
be- easily comprrhcndcd that her charm
! for the lonely ranchman or the wild
shccphcrdcr is next to irresistible.
Miss Dow, however never found any
| difficulty In getting rid OF her lovers
| until she met Don Juan Miguel de Ia
| COrda, n fierce aud even naughty Bra
lillian, who claims lineage as Old as
| the everlasting hills. Don Juan is dark
not lll-loOking and full Of determine
lion. He met Miss Dow one glorious
afternoon when she was riding u favor
lie horse. and from that hour h. could
think OF nothing hut her superb figure.
her "bronzc brown eyes" and herr lus-
trOus hair.
The dons counting was swift an to
the point. There was no difficulty about
securing an introduction, and before he
had known her for quarter OF an hour

house. and In q few words told her
story. She was sure she said. the man
was mad. and as for marrying him.
she declared she would as soon think
OF mating with the Old Boy himself,
Dow Perr received Don Juan Cour-
teously when the latter called that
evening. and listened to him with n
Rnr show Of patience, rhr Brazilian
wasted no words

We can be married Immediately"
Sallic's father was naturally some
what nonplussed by such winged words,
He told the don that he did not know
him we'll enough t. consider him In
that light and advised that the discus
sion end right there.
Don Juan flew into terrible passion
and declared that he would take the
Girl without her flth"P's consent But
Snllic's father ETlppHd The don by the
collar and threw him out Of the front
door with SO much Energy and good will
that IL was some mnmCats before the
teeth Of tn noble Brazilian ceased to
rattle. He went away. however. VOW

to burn the house about the stern par
cRt's ears To get her.
Now. instead Of keeping his bitter
anger locked In mis- breast. De la COrda

intention OF taking the girl by force.

OF rsvolvcrs.
Keep one OF those for the crazy Bra.
lillian. my dear said he to Sallic. md
the girl marked Bows name on the
gun and put II away in a safe place.
Meanwhile love and mortified vanity
were waGinE n fearful warfare in tho
BraziliGns breast. No woman had ever
dared to resist his suit before. He
found little difficulty In enlisting band
OF reckless sheep hrrdcrs under his baH-
nor and advanced upon Mr.. Dow'S
house under cover Of the night
The sheep hcrdcrs were promised all

surrounded IN" house and called upon
