and they conversed only OF pleasant
things as they rode on up the trail.
The dangers that still lay between
them and tho border seemed very re
mote now, and neither gave them a
thought. There was no one in all the
wide world but Just these two, this
man and woman who had found them.
selves.
Twenty miles ahead lay the northern
pass, and from there It was ten more
to Gadsden. but they spoke neither OF
the pass nor Of Gadsden nor OF who
would be awaiting them there. Their
talk was like that Of children, incon-
s%equential and happy, They told OF
the times when they had seen each
other, and what they had thought; Of
the days of their childhood. before
they had met at Fortuna: Of hopes
and fears and thwarted ambitions and
all the young dreams Of life.
Bud told OF his b~attle-scarred father
and their ranch in Arizona; OF his
mother and horse-breaking brothers,
and his wanderings through the West;
Gracia of her mother, with nothing OF
her father, and how she had firted In
order to be sent to school where she
could gaze upon the outstanding Amer
leans. Only Bud thought OF the trail
and scanned the horizon for rebels,
but he seemed more to seek her eyes
than to watch for enemies and death.
They rode on until the sui sank low
and strange tracks struck their trail
from the east. Bud observed that the
horses we're shod, and more tracks OF
mounted men came in beyond. He
turned sharply toward the west and
followed a rocky ledge to the hills,
without leaving a footprint to mark
the way of their retreat.
Those hoof prints brought Bud back
from the land of dreams In which
he had been wandering to a realiza'
ton OF the dangers that lurked about
them. But a little way ahead was the
pass they must cross, and he sud
denly realized that they could not
safely do SO in the broad light OF
day. He must not take such chances
OF losing his new found happiness

A VIEW OF HIMSELF.


The following story is going the
rounds of the newspapers and is well
worth passing n
A Young man OF a fine family and
splendid gifts was going down as fast
as 1t was possible for a man to go,
through strong drink. His friends had
pleaded with him. but he had taken
their warnings as an insult. One OF
them, who was a court sten~ographer,
was sitting In a restaurant one eve
ming when the young man in question
came In with a companion and sat
down with his back to him at the adj
Joining table. He was Just drunk
enough to be laxative about his pri-
waite affairs. and on the impulse OF the
moment the s%tenographer pulled out
his notebook and took a shorthand re-
port of every word he said. 1t was
the usual maudlin folly Of a young
man with his brain muddled by drink
and included a number Of highly can
did details Of his daily life-things
which, when he was sober. he would
as 500 have put his hand In the fire
as speak about to a casual acquaint-
ance. The next morning the ste
nographer copied the whole thing
neatly and sent 1t round to his office.
In less than ten minutes he came tear

CHAPTER XVI.

Though men may make a Jest Of II
In books, 1t is a solemn thing to kill
a man, even to be near when one is
killed. II Gracia had slain Del Rey
herself in a passion her hot blood
might have buoyed her up, but now
her whole nature was convulsed with
the horror Of 1t and she wilted like a
flower.
An hour before she had burned with
hatred OF him. she had wished him
dead and sought the man who would
kill him. Now that his life had been
shipped of between two heart-beats
she remembered him with pity and
muttered a prayer for his soul. For
Hooker, for De Lancey she had no
thought, but only for the dashing
young captain who had followed her
to his death.
OF this Bud had no knowledge. He
realized only that she was growing
weaker, and that he must call a halt,
and at last, when the walls of their
pass had widened and they rode out
into the open plain, he turned aside
from the trail and drew rein by a
clump of mesquit.
Here, let me take you," he said,
as she swayed uncertainty in the sad
die. She slid down into his arms and
he laid her gently In the shade.
Poor girl" he muttered. its been
too much for you. I'll get some water,
and pretty oon you car eat"
He unslung the canteen from his
saddle flap. gave her a drink, and left
her to herself. glancing swiftly along
the horizon as he tied out their mounts
to Craze. But for her faintness he
would have pushed on farther, for he
had seen men OF 10 the east; but hun.
ger and excitement had told upon her
even more than the day-and-hight ride.
For a woman. and sitting a side-sad-
die, she had done better than he had
hoped; and yet-well. 1t was a long
way to the border and he doubted If
she could make it. She lay still in the
shade OF the mesQuit, just as he had
placed her, and when he brought the
sack Of food she did not raise her
head.
Better eat something" he sug-
gested, spreading out some bread and
dried beef. Here's some oranges |
got from Don Juan-In just put them
over here for you"
Gracia shuddered, signing YEARLY.
Then, as If his words had hurt her.
she covered her face and wept.
What did you tell that MANI" she
asked at last.
"W'y-what man?" inquired Hook
er, astonished. Amt you going to

through her tears. mot until l know

There was a shade of bitterness in

she was careful not to allude to Phil.

always drove this shy man TO silence,

Bud hung his head and grinned
sheepishly. 1t was not difficult to make

And so Gracia had not wanted Del
Rey killed as he thought she did.
She was not the vicious woman he
had thought her for a time. She was
just the gentle, noble girl he had
sworn to protect and conduct ACROSS
the border to her flance. Again came
the desire to claim her, but there was
