A little later Kynaston sent a cor.
poral with two men and a led horse
to the railroad, ten miles away, with
instructions that after the officer came
they should wait till moonrise before
starting back. After seeing the little
party start he took refuge in his ham
mock. Pipe in mouth, he lay watch
ing the night drop down over the pur-
ping hills
The old padre felt his way painfully
out Of the tent that Kynaston had as
signed for his use, and very laborious-
ly made his way to the tree, guided by
the purring Of Kynaston's pipe.
when dost thou expect thy visitor
to arrive, my son.?
Should be here an hour after the
moonrise, padre, said Kynaston
But, senior, moonrise means moth
ing to blind man who never sees it,"
We'll, padre, it means that in about
four or five hours the officer who has
been sent to receive the stolen ar
ticles will arrive. When he does come
it will be up to him, as we Ameri-
cans say, about giving back to you the
bell that you have travelled so far to
get Won't you be seated?-and we'll
talk till he shows up.
With a word of thanks the old man
sank into the reclining chair which the
officer pushed forward.
In the course of that long talk, pune
tuated by the purr of his pipe and the
heavy breathing of the over-baked
earth, Kynaston learned much, for he
was an apt pupil.
He learned of heavy-footed wander
ings over hot plains and well-nigh
trackless mountains; of nights spent
in the waterless desert, with only the
yelping of the tireless coyotes for com
pany.

but there's horses comm up the trail
1t was the observant trumpeter who
spoke. Kynaston, obedient to the
summons, laid down his pipe and
walked down upon the fiat. He now
plainly heard the horses come quickly
up the rocky trail. Within a moment
or two they pulled up before the camp
