CHAPTER xI--continued.


A new moon was swinging in the
sky as Alaire and Dave rode back
toward Las Palmas. How or when
Alaire Austin came to feel that this
man loved her, she never knew. Ger
tainly she knew tonight, and, strange
to say, the knowledge did not disturb
her. Alaire had been repealed by Luis
Longorio's evident love for her, but
a similar emotion in this mans breast
had quite the opposite effect. She was
eager for friendship, hungry for affec-
ton, starved for that worship which
every woman lives upon. Having a
wholesome confidence in her own
strength of character, and complete
faith in Laws sense of honor. she was
neither alarmed nor offended.
For the first time in years she al
lowed her intimate thoughts free ex-
preston. and spoke of her hopes, her
interests and her efforts; under the
spell of the moonlight, she even con-
fided something about those dreams
that kept her company and robbed her
world of its sordidness Dave Law
discovered that she lived in fanciful
land of unrealities, and the glimpse
he gained of it was delightful.
Supper was waiting when they ar
rived at Las Palmas, and Dolores an
nounced that young Ed" had tele-
phoned from the Lewis ranch that he
would not be home. Yielding to sud-
den impulse, Alaire said to her COM
panion:
"You must dine with me. Dolores
will show you to room. l will be
ready in half an hour"
The Austin ranchhouse offered a
contrast to the majority of Texas
country homes. Not for many years
had Dave Law been a guest amid such
surroundings, and he began to feel
more and more out of place. With
growing discomfort, he realized that
the mistress of this residence was the
richest woman in all this part of Tex
as, and that he was little better than
a tramp. Alaire knew how to be
gracious and winning hostess; of
her guests embarrassment. She had
rather welcomed the thought that this
man cared for her, and yet, had she
deliberately planned to dampen his
feeling, she could hardly have succeed
ed better than by showing him the
wide disparity In their lives and situa-
tions. Dave was dismayed; he felt
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1917-04-27

the affair had caused him to look upon
her as an accessory. Nevertheless,
when she paid him his wages she gave
him good horse, which Jose accepted
with thanks but without gratitude. As
Alaire watched him ride away with
never backward glance, she decided
that she must lose no time in appris-
ing the Ranger of this new condition
of affairs.
She drove her automobile to Jones'
vile that afternoon, more worried than
she cared TO admit. Law was nowhere
in town, and so, in spite of her reluc-
lance, Alaire was forced TO look for
him at the Jones home. AS she had
never called upon Paloma, and had
made 1t almost impossible for the girl
TO visit Las Palmas, the meeting of
the two women was somewhat formal.

Strange complications grow out
