young girls mood having apparently
changed to one of buoyant, careless
happiness her dark eyes smiling, her
lips uttering freely whatever thought

night, yet to Brant, already observing
her with the jealousy of a lover, she

He could not reconcile this sudden
change with what he believed of her.

There must be something real influ-
encing her action. These misgivings
burdened his mind even as he swung
lightly with her to the music, and they
talked together in little snatches.
The last two waltzes ended they
walked slowly through the scattering
throng, he striving vainly to arouse
her to the former independence and
intimacy of speech. Suddenly they
came face to face with Mrs. Herndon,
and Brant felt the girls arm twitch.

The storekeepers could only shrug
their shoulders. There had always been
ammunition in Arroyo City sufficient
for all social purposes. No one had
anticipated sheep. The Pecos Plateau
had been sacred ground, and it was
indispensable that it could ever be
desecrated by the trampling hoofs and

might have warranted euchre upon
their coat-tails. Beyond that, however,
there had been a hitch in the proceed

been presumptuous enough to make a
stand against the lords OF the earth!
Arroyo City, confident that the Quivera

questions as it gathered about the
wagon and gazed at the silent captive.
He was a singular-looking man, tall.
lean, sinewy. with a high, thin nose
and a square chin which seemed not in

across his cheek, and one ear was
notched welI-nigh as deeply as that Of
