CHAPTER XXI.


That was night Of terror for the
women. Although Longorio's disci-
pline was in some ways strict, in 9TH
ers 1t was extremely lax. From some
quarter his men had secured supply
of mescal, and, forgetful Of Felipe's
unhappy fate, they rendered the hours
hideous. There were singing and quar-
reling, and shot or two sounded from
the direction of the outbuildings. Morn
ing found both Alaire and Dolores
sadly overweight. But they felt
some relief upon learning that the gen.
eral had been Unexpectedly summoned
from his bed at daylight, and had rid
den to the telegraph office.
Profiting by his absence. Alaire ven
tured from her room, racking her brain
to devise some means Of escape. But
soldiers were everywhere; they lolled
around the servants quarters; they
dozed in the shade of the ranch build
,ngs. recovering from the nights de-
bauch; and an armed sentinel who
paced the hacienda road gave evidence
that, despite their apparent careless
ness. they had by no means relaxed
their vigilance. A round Of the prem
Uses convinced Alaire that the place
was actually guarded. and showed her
the futility of trying to slip away. She
realized, too, that even If she managed
to do so, her plight would be little
better. For how could she hope to
cover the hundred miles between La
Feria and the Rio Grande when every
peon was an enemy?
She was standing in one OF the open,
sashIess windows when her former
protector, the old lieutenant. babe her
good morning and paused to smoke
cigarette.

$50! Let us go outside and learn
more about this" Longorio waved his
men before him, and followed them out
of the room and down the hall and
into the night.
When moment or two had dragged
past, Dolores quavered. what are
they going to do with him?"
Il don't know. Anyhow, you need
not fear"
There sounded the report of gun
shot, deadened indeed by the thick
adobe walls of the house, yet sudden
and loud enough to startle the women.
When LongOrio reappeared, he found
Alaire standing stiff and white against
the wall, with Dolores kneeling, her
face still buried in her mistress gown.

them, quickly. 81 beg thousand par

Let me go.''
The man pondered for an instant.

agreed reluctantly, "for I see you, too,

a delicate flower, and sleep is the dew

are cruel to postpone my delight; new
ertheless, yield to your feelings. But,
star of my life, I shall dream Of you,
and of that little priest who waits with
the key to Paradise in his hands,"
He bowed over Alaire's cold fingers.

had gone.
