cHAPTER XVII.

AS the sun, after a passing storm,
comes forth all the more gloriously, SO
the joy of their new-found friendship
changed the world for Bud and Ora
ella. The rainbow that glowed against
the retreating clouds held forth more
than a promise OF sunshine for them.
and they conversed only OF pleasant
things as they rode on up the trail
The dangers that still lay between
them and the 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 mad 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-
sequential 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 battle-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 f1irted 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 enemiesN and death
= They rode on until the sun sank low
and strange tracks struck their trail
from the east Bud observed that the
horses were shod, and more tracks Of
mounted men came in beyond He
turned sharply toward the west and
followed rocky ledge to the hills,
without leaving 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 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.

saxa Moon IL Oval shaned.

Astronomers will await with inter
est details of the experiment" car.
ried out by Professor Stiattesi at Bo-
logna by which he claims to have
demonstrated that the moon is oval
shaped.
The moon is more easily measured
than any other heavenly body, but
though 1t has been measured thou
sands Of times no difference has been
detected between its polar and equa-
torial diameters. A clergyman recently
put forward the theory that the side
of the moon always turned away from
the earth is OF the same size and
shape as the great pyramid which, &C.
cording to Revelations, forms the
New Jerusalem" Eventually. so as.
serts the author OF the theory. the
moon will fall on the earth. and the
hemisphere turned earthward viii
bury itself in our planet. while the
pyramidal New Jerusalem will project
above the rack and ruin of the elo-
ments as the Celestial City, where the
faithful are to spend eternity.
This remarkable lunar theory has
been published with a preface by the
bishop Of Exeter.

cattle that had vanished In the track
of war In the distance he could see
the line of fence and the ruins of a
house The trail which he had fol-
lowed led on and on to the north. But
all the landscape was vacant except
for his grazing horses. Above the
mountains the midday thunder-caps
were beginning to form; the air was
very soft and warm, and He woke
up suddenly to find his head on his
knees.

and shaking himself resolutely. this

At the first big drops Gracia stirred
nneasily In her sleep. She started up
as the storm burst over them; then. as
Bud picked up the saddle-blankets and
spread them over her, she drew him
down beside her and they sat out the
storm together. But 1t was more to
them than a sharing Of cover. patient
enduring of the elements. and the
sweep Of wind and rain. When they
rose up there was a bond between
them and they thrust and parted NO
