weeks. but little GOODNESS had arisen
between them.
There is nothing that makes me so
thoroughly angry" she cried, tears of
rage in her blue eyes, AS to have any
one contradict me. just simply hate
to be contradicted."

gone toward the coach stables. After
ward Juanita saw him riding away in
cloud of dust. She put her head
down on her arms and cried.
A year before Ralph had been sent
west with lung trouble. He had been
engaged to Mary Lesson: his father
and hers were partners in number
of mining claims. Both men were
millionaIres. 1t was a natural thing
that Ralph, fresh from college, should
fall in love with Mary.
He had gone the pace, too, in his
last year. A cold, neglected, had
spread to his lungs; the upshot was
that he was given the alternative be-
tween death and New Mexico. He
had made the sensible choice. He
went with regret. because he was in
love with Mary, and he dreaded the
rivals who flocked about the wealthy
heiress.
MARRY me and come with me-" he
had urged.
Mary declined Cold-hearted, she
was not going to bury herself in New
Mexico with a man who might not
live out the year. But she promised
to be true to him.
And her letters. gay and full of
stories of the home life, had made him
incredibly homesick-until he met
Juanita.
Now, riding homeward, he knew
that Mary was only the pale shadow
of his love: that Juanita had his
heart and always would have it. He
was going home because as man of
honor there was no other course And
he was going home cured.
He had not heard from his fiancee
for several weeks. And Ralph had
dared to hope what he had once feared
that she. too. had learned that her
heart lay In another's keeping.
A week later he stepped off the

In one of the industrial towns in
South Wales a workman met with a
serious accident. The doctor was sent
for, and came and examined him, had
him bandaged and carried home on a
stretcher, seemingly unconscious.
After he was put to bed the doctor
told his wife to give him sixpenny-

wife told the daughter to run and

Her indolent father, having amassed
a comfortable fortune as the landlord
of the most prosperous hotel along
the coach route. had had the means
to educate his daughter at the con-
vent at Santa Fe. Juanita had all the
Spanish charm and grace; now, with
the education and refinement got from
the good sisters. she could have picked
her choice of the wealthy suitors for
her hand.
But Ralph Brunton seemed utterly
different from the rough ranchers and
prospectors who stayed at the hotel,
tried to flirt with her and went away.
He had never attempted any liberties
with her. In his presence, under his
respect, her high spirits were subdued
to timid, wistful endeavor to win his
regard.
And she, too. had come to mean ev-
erything to him, though he dared not
admit it to himself. Because
