CHAPTER XIII.

There are two things, according to
the saying, which cannot be recalled
the sped arrow and the spoken word.
Whether spoken in anger or in jest,
our winged thoughts will not come
back to us and, where there is no balm
for the wound we have caused, there
is nothing to do but let 1t heal.
Bud Hooker was a man of few
words, and slow to speak i'll Of anyone,
but some unfamiliar devil had loosened
his tongue and he had told the worst
about Phil. Certainly il a man were
the bravest of the brave, certainly if
he loved his girl more than life itself
he would not be content to hide
above the line and pour out his soul
on note-paper. But to tell it to the
girl-that was an objectionable sin!
Still, now that the damage was done,
there was no use of vain repining, and
after cursing himself intellectually
Bud turned in for the night. Other
days were coming; there we're favors
he might do; and perhaps, as the yes
terdays went by, Gracia would forgive
him for his plain speaking. Even to-
morrow, If the rebels came back for
more, he might square himself in &C
ton and prove that he was not a cow
ard. A coward!
It had been long time since any
one had used that word to him, but
after the way he had knitted dear
Phil" he had to admit he was it. But
dear Phil" It was that which had
set him off.
II she knew how many other girls
but Bud put a sudden quietus on that
particular line of thought. AS long as
the world stood and Gracia was in his
sight he .swore never to speak Ill Of
De Lancey again, and then he went to
sleep.
The men who guarded the casa
grande slept uneasily on the porch,
lying down like dogs on empty sugar
sacks that the women might not lack
bedding inside. Even at that they were
better off, for the house was close and
feverish, with the crying of babies
and the babbling of dreamers, and
mothers moving to and fro. ,..
It was a hectic night, but Bud slept
It out, and at dawn, after the custom
Of his kind, he arose and stamped on
his boots. The moist GOODNESS of the

have nothing to do with my father!
He does not love me, but tries to make
me marry first one man and then an
other. But l am an American girl
now, at heart-I do not want to sell
myself; I want to marry for love! Can
you understand that? Yes? No? Then
why do you look away? Have you
something that you hold against me?
All, you shake your head-but you
will not speak to me? When was at
school in Los Angeles saw the cow
boys In the west show. and they were
different-they were not afraid of any
danger, but they would talk, too. I
have always wanted to know you, but
you will not let mel thought you
we're brave-like those cowboys"
She paused to make him speak, but
Hooker was tonguetied. There was
something about the way she talked
that pulled him over, that made him
want to do what she said, and yet
some secret, hidden voice was always
crying: "Beware!" He was convinced
now that she had never been party
to treachery; no, nor even wished
him i'll.
She was very beautiful, too, In the
twilight, and when she drew nearer
he moved away, for he was afraid she

would sway MIN from MS purpose. But
now she was waiting for some an
swer-some word from him, though
the question had never been asked.
| And yet he knew what it was.
She wanted him to steal away with
her in the evening and ride for the
border-and Phil. That was what she
always wanted, no matter what she
said, and now she was calling him q
coward.
Sure them bronco-riders are brave"
he said in vague defense; but there's
a difference between being brave and
foolish. And man might be brave for
himself and yet be afraid for other
people"
How do you mean?" she asked.
WELL" he said, II might be willing
to go out and fight a thousand of them
insurrectos with one hand, and at the
same time be afraid to take you along.
Or might"
"Oh, then you will go, won't your"
she cried, clasping him by the hand.
you WILL won't you? I'm not afraid"
NO." answered Bud, drawing his
hand away, that's just what won't
do! And I'll tell you why. That coun-
try up there is full of rebels-the low
est kind there are. 1t just takes one
shot to lay me out or cripple one of
our horses. Then I'd have to make a
fight for it-but what would happen
to your"
I'D fight, tool" spoke up Gracia
resolutely. "I'm not afraid"
NO" grumbled Bud, you don't
know them rebels You've been shut
up in a house all the time-if you'd
been through what l have in the last
six months you'd understand what
mean"
"If Phil were here, he'd take mel"
countered Gracia, and then Bud lost
his head.
"Yes," he burst out, that's jest
what's the matter with the crazy fool!
That's jest why he's up across the line
now a hollering for me to save his
girl! He's brave, is he? Well, why
don't he come down, then, and save
you himself? Because he's afraid to!
He's afraid of getting shot or going up
against Manuel del Rey. BY grab, 1t
makes me tired the way you people
talk! II he'd done what told him to
in the first place he wouldn't have got
into this jackpot"
ooh my!" exclaimed Gracia, aghast
"Why, what is the matter with you?
And what did you tell him to do?"
II told him to mind his own bust
ness" answered Hooker bluntly.
And what did he say?"
"He said he'd try anything-once!"
Bud spat out the phrase vindictively,
for his blood was up and his heart was
full of bitterness.
"Oh dear!" faltered Gracia. "And
so you do not think that Phil Is
brave?"
Hes brave to start things" sneered
Bud, "but mot to carry 'em through!"
For a moment Gracia huddled up
against pillar, her hand against her
face, as If to ward off a blow. Then
she lowered it slowly and moved re-
luctantly away.
IT must go now," she said, and Bud
did not offer to stay her, for he saw
what his unkindness had done.
Il am sorry!" she added pitifully,
but he did not answer. There was
nothing that he could say now.
In moment of resentment, driven
to evaporation by her taunts, he had
forgotten his pledge to his pardner
and come between him and his girl.
That which he thought wild horses
could not draw from him had flashed
out in fit of anger-and the damage
was beyond amendment, for what he
had said was the truth.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1914-09-11

leaned against the low wall beside
him.
IF I would speak from my heart"
she asked, If would talk plain, as
you Americans do, would you like me
better then? Would you talk to me
instead of standing silent? Listen,
Bud-for that is your name-I want
you to be my friend the way you were
friend to Phil. l know what you did
for him, and how you bore with his
love-madhess-and that was my fault,
too But partly 1t was also your fault,
for you made me angry by not coming.
yes, will be honest now-it was
you that | wanted to know at first, but
you would not come, and now am
promised to Phil He was brave when
you were careful, and my heart went
out to him. You know how it Is with
us Mexicans-we do not love by rea-
son. We love like children-suddenly
from the heart! And now all wish
in life Is to run away to Phil. But
every time speak of 1t you shut your
jaws or tell me am fool"
"Umpum," protested Bud, turning
stubborn again. Il tell you you don't
know what you're talking about. These
rebels don't amount to nothing around
the town, but on a trail they're awful.
They shoot from behind rocks and all
that, and woman amt noways safe.
You must know what they're like
these old women don't think about
nothing else-so what's the use Of talk
ing And BESIDES" he added grimly,
I've had some trouble with your old
man and don't want to have any
more"
What trouble have you had?" she
demanded promptly, but Hooker would
not answer in words. He only
shrugged his shoulders and turned
away, crumpling his hat in his hand.
"But MOI" she cried as she sensed
the meaning Of his concealment, you
must tell me! want to know. Was
1t over your mine? Then you must
not blame me, for he never has told
me world"
MOI" inquired Bud, rousing sudden
ly at the memory of his wrongs. Then
maybe you will tell me how he got
this"-he fetched a worn piece OF ore
from his pocket-"when my pardner
gave 1t to you! 1t was right there
lost my pardner-and he was a good
kid, too-and all because of that rock.
Here, take a look at it took that
away from your father!"
Then he stole it from mel" flashed
back Gracia as she gazed at the speci-
men. ooh, have you thought all the
time that betrayed Phil? But didn't
l tell you-didn't I tell you at the
hotel, when you promised to be my
friend? All, see that you are hard
man, Mr.. Hooker-quick to suspect,
slow to forget-and yet I told you be-
fore! But listen, and l will tell you
again. | remember we'll when dear
Phil showed me this rock-he was so
happy because he had found the gold!
And just to make it lucky he let me
hold it while we were talking through
a hole in the wall. Then my father
saw me and started to come near-I
could not hand it back without betray-
ing Phil-and in the night, when I
was asleep, some one took it from I'M
der my pillow. That is the truth, and
l will ask you to believe me; and if
you have other things against me you
must say what they are and see IL
cannot explain.

The Country Editor

William Allen White,
The country editor job is not
writing. The average man who
looks at an editor in any Kansas
town and finds his career worth
emulating, knows little about the
aforesaid career. The average man
believes that all the editor has to do
is to go around with his note book,
and jot down a few personals, write
up a batch Of desultory thoughts
On large affairs and go to press and
cut the receipts.
The truth is different. The
country editor has to make the
news he writes. The Commercial
Club, the church, the baseball
team, the college, the law and or
der league, the county central com.
mittee, the whist club, the good
roads movement all must feel the
influence of his guiding hand. He
must be in everything and run err
rands for every one, pass the paper,
get the hall, hire the band, send
out the circulars, deliver the adj
dress of welcome, do the town ~
ing for harmony's sake and hold
the sack. He must be guide, phil
osopher and friend TO those in
trouble.
The preacher, the town drunk
ard, the statesman, the social
climber, the real estate boomer, the
man from the grand lodge who is
about to exemplify the new work,
the promoter, the broken soldier
kindly babe to stay, the captain Of
industry and the girl with the
fatherless baby, all come to him to
help them in their troubles. He is

APrObIem For The Farmer

Among the many problems that
lace the farmer this autumn none
Is more difficult to solve in some
particulars, at least, than that Of
what crops should be grown next
year in place Of cotton. We know
of some farmers who are going
ahead with this matter, however,
as il there is but one way to solve
Ii. A glance at the work that these
farmers are doing shows readily
that they are depending largely on
food crops.
Especially is it true that many
oats are being planted in the coun-
~ this fall. Probably no year in
the history Of the county would
show larger percentage Of oats
planted than this year. Another
fortunate thing is that few farmers
ii the county had planted oats be-
lore the recent freeze. Consequent
" they are not injured as result
if the record breaking November
weather.
There are other farmers who are
considering very carefully and very
deliberately what they will plant
mother year. To them the answer
that they should plant food crops
largely is not sufficient. for them.
They are asking; How much
corn? How much oats? How
much Of other food crops?" But
they are all practically agreed that
they will reduce the cotton crop BY
about fifty per cent Ii they will
stand firmly by that resolution il
should serve to help them over
other obstacles. For that is the
great problem Of the farmers now,
to do away in a large part with cot
ton and to plant in place Of cotton
other crops that will help them tc
feed themselves.
