CHAPTER VIII.
Following Up the Trail.

Dave was glad that he had swal
lowed young Eds" inclvillty, not only
for his own sake, but for the sake Of
Alnire. After all. he argued, It was
barely possible that Ed had spoken the
truth. There were many sorrel horses;
the evidence Of those rain-washed hoof-
prints was far from conclusive; even
the fact that Urhina belonged to the
Tad Lewis outfit was no more than n
suspicious circumstance. And yet, ear
nestly as he strove to convince himself
Of these possibilities, the Ranger could
not down the conviction that the ranch
er had lied and that he himself was on
the right track.
1t was late when he arrived at his
destination, but Lewis house was dark,
and 1t required some effort to awaken
the owner. When Tad at last ap-
peared, clad in undershirt and trou-
sers, he greeted the Ranger with a lev
eled rifle; but when Dave had
made known his Identity, he invited
him in, though with surly reluctance.
Lewis was n sandy-complexione
man of about forty, with colOrless
brows and mean, shlfty eye. For
merly a cowboy, he had by the eXer-
else Of some natural ability acquired n
good property-and a bad reputation.
Just how or why he had prospered
was a mystery which his neighbors
ever tired Of discussing.

Urbnu. What was wanted of hlm7

"Pino Garza." Dave told of the
meeting at the branding fire and its
outcome. He was aware, meanwhile
that Lewis family were listening, for
behind half-open bedroom door he
could hear an excited whispering.
"KIlled the first shot, ch?" Tad was
dumfoundcd. "Now 1 never thought

Lewis flushed redly and sputtered:
''If you make this stick with Adolfo'

word is as good as old Ricardo's. Ev-
erybody knows what he Is"
Later when Dave met the Guzmans,
Ricardo told him, excitedly. THAT

"Are you sure?"

"Buenol Another matter"-Ricardo
hesitated-"your bonita-the pretty
mare. She is buried deep"
I'm glad" said Dave. 81 think l
shall sleep better for knowing that"
Since the recent rain had rendered
the black valley roads impossible for
automobiles, Dave decided to go to
Pueblo by rail, even though 1t was a
roundabout way, and that afternoon
found him joltlng over the leisurely
miles between JOnesville and the main
line. He was looking forward to
good nights sleep when he arrived at
the junction; but on boarding the
north-bound through train he encoun-
tered Judge Ellsworth, who had just
heard of the CARA killing. and of
course was eager for details. The two
men sat in the observation car talking
until late hour.
Knowing the judge for a man of
honor and discretion, Dave unburdened
himself with the utmost freedom re
| gardlng his suspicious of Ed Austin.
Ellsworth nodded. "Yes, Ed has
thrown in with the rebel junta in San
Antoine, and Tad Lewis Is the man they
use to run arms and supplies in this
neighborhood. That's why he and Ed
| are so friendly. Urbina is probably
your cattle thief, but he has a hold
| over Ed, and so he rode to Las Palmas
when he was pursued, knowing that no
Jury would convict him over Ed Aus

"Do YOU think Ed would perjure

"He has gone clean to the bad late
