The Old Man Of the Adobe.
1t would be too difficult to express
the surprise and CONSERVATION Of Jer-
ry Chambers and Mike O'Connor when
the train Of two o4d-fashioned, we'll

Der Of passengers was less than 15.
stopped at the mountain village OF
Rosario and Riaz did not got of. They
were simply dumbfounded. True, they
did not ride in the same coach with
him, desiring to be together and not
Wishing to be seen together by him,
but they were on the sharp lookout
at every stop. "
He must a. foated out O. the win

the two stood on the platform and
watched the train move southwark.

made himself fnvisible.' L.. Il. s@.... b

be train was skimmin' along.

T. s. a & T
At the end of few hours they had
bought small skiff and had it laden
with their boxes and packages, and
1t was not long thereafter that Jerry
was leisurely pulling down the mar
row stream. While he rowed Mike did
most of the talking, the subject OF
greatest interest, of course. being tho
mysterious disappearance of Riaz.
IF you're sure you saw him at Pa
loma," said Mike, ''he can't be a mil
lion miles from Rosario, and where
he Is they are. I'd like to run into the
whole bunch, but I'd hate for only US
two to meet 'em face to face"
The sun had just sunk behind dis
tant mountain when the intersection
Of the two branches OF the river was
reached: To the right of Mike great
ragged cliffs rose thousands Of feet,
and to his left mountains, blackish-
green In spots, rolled far to the north.
The skin was grounded on the bank q
few hundred feet below the fork, at a
spot which promised suitable place
for the camp. The small tent was put
up about 40 feet from the bank, be-
hind clump of bushes. which
screened the view from the other
side of the stream, and the boat was
carried into the brush.
Both men were thoroughly tired
when they lay down and smoked their
pipes. -.
mike this is the most So
cluded place on earth," said Jerry, aft
er long silence.
Damned If can't hear myself
think" said Mike. wouldn't it be
fne to turn a few owls loose and let
lost dog howl round here in the
dead O. night?"
After partaking Of some coGoo, ba.
con and bread they stretched thom-
selves out and fell asleep. The earliest
sign Of day found them awake and
much refreshed. The first thing Mike
said was:
II had divil Of dream, Tommy.
, I dreamed saw man goin' down tho
other side o the stream with q lantern
in his hand, and he had 4 dog with
him. Tho dog barked and the man
think he was old, from the sound O.
his voice-talked to him Just like he
was man, ito. Then the old codger
turned into the bushes and disap-
peared. The dog kept ba<kin' and
barkin' till It sounded like 1t waa
miles away. think I woke up, but
I'm not sure about it."
whats the old saying about dream
Ing the first night in . new bed?''
laughed Jerry.
IT'S q sign the dream comes true,
answered Mike; "but don't want
this one to come true. That dog wa
a big divil, and the man looked all IN
q hump. I don't remember what kind
Of a face he had, but it must a. been
q dandy to wake me up."
