PICTURES
AND
@SCRAPPLED
EPIGRHYMES:

The boy gazed anxiously
upon two apples that he
bore the one was small
the other big, and lus-
cious to the cores~'Now
THESE ARE both good apples"
mused the lad: (which
shall I eat, and which one
give to teacher? Gee,
think she's awful sweet !"
with due deliberation and
with honest sacrifice he
parted with the larger
one, and teacher said
How nice! !" She had no
dim conception of THE
TIMES that he had sighed
to keep the better apple
for himself. There is a
pride THAT scorns to TRY
to gain the praise OF
aught save Conscience's
eyes there's but one
choice MEMS SOULS can
make which Conscience
ratifes. If Thomas Paine
had writ today the thought
here set apart. his trembling
pen had bled the words re-
echoed In each heart. Which
apple shall I give to her,
my Teacher-mine own Land?
May this. my choice, be one
that He, my God, will
understand.
ROBERT RUSSELL.

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Surprise.


 Law found it good to feel horse between his knees. He had not realized until now how long Montrosa's saddle had been empty. The sun was hot and friendly. the breeze was sweet in his noStrilS as he swept past the smiling fields and out into the mesquite coun- try. Heat waves danced above the patches of bare ground; insects sang noisily from every side; far ahead the road ran a wavering course through a deceitful mirage of ripping ponds. It was all familiar, pleasant; 1t was home. With every mile he covered his strength and courage increased.
 Such changes had come into his life since his last visit to Las Palmas. that it gave him a feeling of unreality to discover no alteration in the ranch. He had somehow felt that the build ings would look older, that the trees would have grown taller, and so when he finally came in sight of his desti- nation he refined in Q look.
 Behind him he heard the hum of an approaching motor, and he turned to behold car racing along the road he hpd just travelled. The machine was cunning fast, as long streamer of choking dust gave evidence, and Dave seon recognized it as belonging to Jonesville's prosecuting attorney. As It tore past him it's owner shouted something, but the words were lost. In the automobile with the driver were several passengers, and one of these likewise called to Dave and seemed to motion him to follow. When the ma chine slowed down half-mile ahead and veered abruptly into the Las Pal mas gateway, Dave lifted Montrosa to run, wondering what pressing neces- sity could have induced the prosecut- ing attorney to risk such reckless burst of speed.
 Dave told himself that he was nn- duly apprehensive; that Strange's warnings had worked upon his nerves. Nevertheless, he continued to ride so hard that almost before the dust had settled he, too, turned into the shade of the palms.
 Yes, there was excitement here something was evidently very much amiss judging from the groups of ranch-hands assembled upon the porch. They were clustered about the doors and windows, peering in. Briefly they turned their faces toward Law; then they crowded closer, and he perceived that they were not talking. Some of them had removed their hats and held them in their hands.

Heedless of those in his path, he forced his way into the house, then down the hall toward an open door, through which he saw room full of people. From somewhere came the shrill wail- ing of woman; the house was full of hushed voices and whisperings. Dave had but one thought.

disappeared"
 "She's done that very little thing" Strange declared.
 ''WhatY'
 She's sappeared--anyhow. she's gone. Yesterday when I saw you was laid up and couldn't help me, I phoned her ranch; somebody answered in Spanish, and from what could make out they don't know where she is.''
 Dave wondered if he had understood Strange alright, or if this could be trick of his own tired brain. Choosing his words carefully, he said Do you mean to tell me that she's missing and they haven't given an alarm? l reckon you didn't understand the message, did you?"
 Strange shrugged Maybe I didn't. Suppose you try. You sabe the lingo"
 Dave went to the telephone, leaving Phil to wait. When he emerged from the house few moments later, 1t was with queer, set look upon his face
 T got 'em," he said. "She's gone left three days ago."
 ''Where did she go?'
 .sFhey wouldn't tell me.''
 "They wouldn't?' Strange looked up sharply.
 Wouldn't or couldn't" The men eyed each other silently; then Phil in. quired:
 "Hell, what do you make of it?'
 T don't know. She wasn't kidnapped, that's cinch, for Dolores went with her. I-think we're exciting ourselves unduly."
 The little fortune-teller broke out excitedly: "Yes we are! Why do you suppose I've been playing that Morales girl? l tell you there's something crooked going on. Don't I know? Didn't I wise you three weeks ago that something like this was coming off?" It was plain that Phil put complete faith in his powers of divination, and a certain degree of conviction. Dave made an effort to clear his tired brain.
 "Nery we'll" he said. If you're so sure, I'll go to Las Palmas. I'll find ont all about it, and where she went. If anybody has dared to-" He drew a deep breath and lis listlessness van ished; his eyes gleamed with a hint of their customary fire. sI reckon I've got one punch left in me-" He turned and strode to his room.
 AS Dave changed into his service clothes he was surprised to feel a new yiger in his limbs and Hew strength ef purpose in his mind. When he stood in lis old boots and felt the familiar drag of his cartridge-belt, when he tested his free muscles, he realized that he was another man. Even vet he could not put much faith in Phil Strange's words-nevertheless there might be danger threatening Alaire and if so, it was time to act.
 Phil watched his friend saddle the bay mare, then as Dave tied his rife seabbard to its thong he laughed nerv- ously.
 You're loaded for bear."
 The -horsenari answered, grimly. I'm 1oa ded for Jose Sanchez. If I lay hands on him I'll learn what lie knows"
 You can't get nothing out of Mexi- can"
 'No? I've made Filipinos talk. Be lieve me, I can be some persuasive when try" With that he swung leg over Montrosa's back and rode away.
