tant If that be absence or separation,
or even an Isabel, what ma tiers the
medium, if by it's magic all is made clear
and fair?
And beyond all this swift, marvellous
clarity of perception her aunts voice
rang in its bitter, sinister accusation OF
herself-NIavis, the gutter! A wild wave
up from the eternal deeps of love and
longing swept over her. Stand by, would
She and give Isabel right of way? Never!
She would go back to the Southwest
country. She would start this hour,
even though she went knowing that all
the odds were against her.
TWILIGHT was deepening to dusk, and
there was no moon. Mavis, descending
from the train to the station platform,
almost ran into the station-master. He
dropped his mail-bags to shake hands
with her.
Bless me, it's Mrs. Malloy! You sho'

ton a strong race is bred. 1t sends its
sons and daughters back to feed the
cities. For after the fourth generation
there are no city-born. God sees to
that"
Her gaze turned slowly upon Mavis-
the cold merciless appraisal of her eyes
lighted by some inner flame.
Kane should have married Isabel; she
was his mate. Do you suppose any force
of earth, or any misfortune of lean years,
or any loneliness. could have sent her
from him? In the desolation and the
drought men and women find each other
and God"
Her voice took on a more incisive note:
"You played the gutter, Mavis. Now

pleasures
Her laugh rippled out, keen with self
scorn, perhaps with pain. She moved
away without backward glance.
ONCE, while at school, Mavis had gone
" to an oculist complaining of her eyes.
The great man had directed her to spend
an hour each day looking out to sea at
the farthest ship or the skyline.
"The long focus is what your eyes
need" he said. "That is ALL
Now her soul had had the long focus,
and its vision had strengthened and

too, how that love becomes sometimes

dts loaded, and there's more cartridges

Mr.. Malloy yesterday. He was up here
with the Livingstones and their company
-they's swell-looking girl from the
East visitin' them"
In the dressng-rOOm on the Pullman,
Mavis had exchanged her travelling dress
for riding skirt. Now she got into the
saddle, conscious of choking pain in
her throat Dare she blame Kane if he
rode with Isabel?
The horse swung out on the long trail.
The short summer night had fallen over
the plains, but the road ran a white rib
bon between the green, irrigated fields.
The stars came out with increasing
brilliance, and the wind was but fitful
breeze laden with pollen from the corn
and the sweet, cloying smell of alfalfa
from pastures where the Herefords were
feeding.
The pony loped on, and Mavis let the
reins lie loosely on his neck. What was
waiting for her at her journeys end? Were
there years enough in the future in which
to drown the hateful past?
FROM some far-away ranch-house there
came at last the growing of cocks. Sud-
denly off to the east the moon-glow light
ened the sky. Limned against it stood
the great tower of the windmill, and be-
low it the dam of the reservoir circled,
its dark ellipse bordered by young will
lows of a years growth-the reservoir
whose completion marked for Malloy the
turn of the tide.
What great day it had been for Kane
when the pumps had begun to force the
water into the empty basin! Even she,
standing beside him, had felt, grudgingly,
secret thrill at sight Of his face.
With sudden impulse she wheeled the
pony sharply to the right, and, finding
the gate wide open, rode noiselessly over
the turf, green and soft where the water
trickled down from the troughs.
So softly, indeed, did the little horse
set down his feet that man kneeling at
the head of the dam, and very near the
completion of his task was made aware
of their presence only by the pony's
snort and start at the sputtering snake
of fire in the grass. Already on the verge
of flight, the man yelled, leaped, and with
no further word or sound fled like rabbit
toward the trail.
For bare moment Mavis's brain
went numb and cold with shock. Then
realization of the low-lying, sinister play
of sparks sent her to fling herself from
her horse and in wild haste to beat and
pinch at the sputtering fuse. Failing to
subdue the persistent spark, she wrenched
wildly at the thing, and the bit of twisted
fibers came away in her hand. The spark
dead, she flung it from her and sank
upon the dew-drenched grass her limbs
drenched with the dew of terror All the
devlish plan became clear to her.
Martinez, by dynamiting the dam,
would have sent the flood of stored waters

and fell to its knees. Mavis was now
fifty yards away, and the Mexican, out Of
the saddle and shrieking curses, wheeled,
and Mavis caught the CLINT of gun.
There was a shock, a jar, splintering
tingle in her knee. Involuntary her
finger pressed the trigger, and twice she
heard Martinez cry; then
"I've got the drop on you, Martinez"
she said. "Don't move or I'll finish
YOU
She saw the gun at his feet, and guessed
at his shattered arm.
"Move back now," she said "Backl"
HALF dazed as he was by misery and
fear, the Mexican, looking into the
muzzle of the automatic, fell back step
by step.
"Now face about, straight ahead-no!
down the trail. And remember, if you try
to run or get away, it is all up with you.
1 shoot straight, you know, Martinez"
He knew. He moved ahead, twisting
his sleeve about his wounded arm.
walk faster" she commanded. For
there was red, wet stream dripping from
her ankle, but Martinez must not know.
She was not afraid of the Mexican, but
she was afraid that the deadly weakness
would conquer her before they reached the
end of the trail.
Easter, Martinez, she said again. In
her own ears her voice sounded thin and
far away. All, there were the lights of the
bunk-house, and lights, too, in the stone
house. She wondered if the shots had
been heard. Martinez was staggering;
twice he moaned, and the sound wrenched
her. 1t was not pleasant to do to human
being what she had done to Martinez.
But was Martinez human being, or just
a toad or a snake?
The corral, dark and low behind the
row of pepper trees, seemed lit suddenly
with dancing lights. Noises hummed in
her ears, droning like bees.
4F-faster, Martinez" she gasped, her
voice waif of sound.
Then out of the black void enveloping
her came another voice:
"Who is it? Great God! it's"
ats the quitter-come home," she
murmured-and pitched forward into
Kane's arms.
CHE awoke at dawn, but the everlasting
- wind of the plains, with its wild song
of drought, lulled her to sleep again, for
to her it sang the song Of home.
She did not rouse again till noon, and
Kane sat beside her bed, his chin leaned
on his palm, his elbow on his knee. The
collar of his shirt, thrown open, revealed
his lean brown throat and the rapid pulse
beating there. His eyes glowed from his
gaunt face, but he made no movement
toward her.
Martinez she murmured, taking up
the broken thread of her thought.
"Safe," Kane said grimly. "But he
won't talk. Tell me, when you are strong
enough"
She told him in few words. At the end
his face was gray as ashes.
"We found the dynamite, but we
couldn't understand where you came in.
Do you know how much of that fuse was
left after you put it out? T,co inches!'
Suddenly he slipped to his knees and
flung his arms fiercey about her.

not been fair to you. Then tried to face

TWO SMALL INDIAN BOYS
MYSTERI0USLY DISAPPEAR

years old. son of Maggie Dave, disap-
peared day before yesterday and a
search is being made for them by the
Piute colony. 1t was feared that the
boys had gone swimming and drown
ed, and the river has been searched a
long ways above and below town
without any trace of the boys being
found AS it is too early for the
swimming season and neither of the
boys can swim there is believed to be
small chance of their having gone TO
the river. There are no Indians liv-
ing nearer to Winnemucca than Mil
City, so it is not considered probable
that the boys have run away to visit
friends, unless they have gone on
freight train. Sheriff Lamb believes
that they have slipped into box cal
and gone east or west. This morning

believed to have been made by the
boys He followed the tracks from
the Southern Pacific main line to the
switch north of the new High school

HAUTAUQUA IS NOW
BIG DRAWING CARD

The second Chautauqua season
opened last night with a dramatic
production by the Comus Players.
This company consists of four ar
lists of high merit who gave a very
pleasing performance. This was di-
vided into two parts, the first being
dramatiZation of Ralph Conner's
great novel of Canadian frontier life
which was given under the name of
Carson of the North Woods" Some
comedy scenes were interpolated
which added much spice to the pro-
duction. The second part consisted
of one scene from Sir Forbes Rob-
ertson's greatest play, "The Servant
in the House" which was participated
in by Mrs Reddie and Miss Young. The
work was very pleasing and the audi
ence was thoroughly appreciative.
The play was given under difficult
ties in that the trunks of the company
containing their costumes failed to
come through from Reno. However
they borrowed costumes in the town
and got along nicely.
The opening talk was given by the
superintendent, A. C.. Strange, who
explained the purposes of the Chau-
tauqua movement.

BAPTISTS TO SELL
And BUILD ANEW

The Baptist church organization
has decided to dispose of the old
church building and secure a more
central location. Several lots are now
under consideration.
When the Episcopals announced
that they would change their location
to the corner of Fourth and Melarkey,
Rev. l.. NJ Gates, pastor of the Bap-
Ftist church, wrote Rev. George Gard
ner of Reno, superintendent of mis-
sions, suggesting that the Baptists
buy the Episcopal building. Rev. Card
ner came to Winnemucca to look over
the situation and it was decided that
the better plan would be to secure a
more central location than that now
occupied by the Baptist church and
as soon as the present building can
be sold to build a new church of mod
ern type. with rooms for Sunday
school, with basement and all the ac-
commodations for social gatherings
which are so essential for the up-to-
date church structure.
One location which has been under
consideration is the corner owned by
George NJ. Rose, on Lay and Melarkey
While the price at which this ground
is held may eliminate that location,
if it should be selected all the church
es of the town would be near to-
gether. The Episcopals and Baptists
on opposite corners, the Catholics ad-
joining the Baptists, at the corner of
Fourth and Melarkey; the Christian
Scientists, in rented quarters, diagon-
ally across from the Catholic church,
and the Methodist church one block
distant, at the corner of Third and
Lay.
