Bud hooked one leg over the horn OF
his saddle and regarded the hacienda
with languid eyes.
But as his gaze swept the length Of
the uncovered corredor it halted for
a moment and a slow smile came over
his face In the green depths OF a
passion-fower vine he had detected
a quick, birdlike motion; and then
suddenly, like a transformation scene,
he beheld a merry face, framed and

masked face among the flowers and
smiled again. That was the way Ora
