CHAPTER XII.
The Rodeo.

1t was with a feeling of some reluc-
tance that Dave drove up to Las Pal
mas shortly after the lunch hour, for
he had no desire to meet young Ed"
However, to his relief, Austin did not
appear, and inasmuch as Alaire did
not refer to her husband in any way,
Dave decided that he must be absent,
perhaps on one Of his notorious sprees.
The mistress of the big ranch was
in her harness, having at once assumed
her neglected duties. She came to
welcome her caller in a short khaki
riding suit; her feet were incased in
tan boots; she wore a manniSh felt
hat and gantlet gloves, showing that
she had spent the morning in the
saddle. Dave thought she looked ex-
ceedingly capable and businesslike
and not less beautiful in these clothes !;
he feasted his eyes cOvertly upon her.
II expected you for luncheon" she
smiled; and Dave could have kicked
himself. 'Tm just going out now. If
you're not in too great hurry to go
home, you may go with me-"
"That would be fine," he agreed.
"Come, then. l have a horse for
you" AS she led thu way back toward
the farm buildings, she explained:
''Tm selling off bunch Of cattle. Be
nito is rounding them up and cutting
out the best ones."
''You keep them, reckon"
always. That's how improve the
grade. You will see a splendid herd
Of animals, Mr.. Law-the best in
south Texas. suppose you're inter-
ested in such things"
"Td rather watch good herd of
stock than the best show in New
York. he told her.
When they came to the corrals, an
intricate series of pens and chutes at
The Snowflake herald., 1917-08-31

the rear of the outbuildings, Law be-
held two thoroughbred horses standing
at the hitching rail.
"Pm proud Of my horses, too" said
Alaire.
"YOu have reason to be-" With his
eyes alight, Dave examined the fine
points of both animals. He ran ca
resSing hand over them, and they rec
ognized in him friend.
"These beauties were raised on
Kentucky bluegrass. Brother and sis
ter, aren't they?"
"Yes. Montrose and Montrosa are
their names. The horse is mine, the
mare is yours" Seeing that Dave did
not comprehend the full import of her
words, she added: ''Yours to keep,
mean. You must make another Bessie
Belle out of her."
"Mine? Oh-ma'am Law turned
his eyes from Alaire to the mare, then
back again. you're too kind. l can't
take her."
"You must"
Dave made as If to say something
but was too deeply embarrassed. I'm
able to tear himself away from the
mares side, he continued to stroke her
shining coat while she turned an intel
Hgent face to him, showing a solitary
white star in the center of her fore
head.
"See! She is nearly the same color
as Bessie Belle"
"Yes'm! II want her, ma'am; I'm
just sick from wanting her, but-won't
you let me buy her?"
"Oh, l wouldn't sell her." Then, as
Dave continued to yearn over the ami
NAL, like small boy tempted beyond
his strength, Alaire laughed. 81 owe
you something, Mr. Law, and a horse
more or less means very little to me-
He yielded; he could not possibly
continue his resistance, and in his
happy face Alaire took her reward.
The mare meanwhile was dOubtfully
nosing her new master, deciding
whether or not she liked him; but
when he offered her a cube of sugar,
her uncertainties disappeared, and
they became friends then and there.
He talked to her, too, in way that
would have won any female heart, and
it was plain to anyone who knew
horses that she began to consider him
wholly delightful.
'You do speak their language"
Alaire said, after she had watched
them for a few minutes. "You nave
bewitched the creature" Dave nod

ded silently and his face was young.
! Then, half to herself, the woman mur-
INJURED, "Ycs, you have heart"
II beg pardon?"
Nothing. I'm glad you like her."
'Do you mind if / call her something
else than Rosa, just to myself"
"Why, she's yours Don't you like
the name?"
"Oh, yes! But-see!" Dave laid a
finger upon Montrosa's forehead. "She
wears a lone star, and I'd like to call
her that-The Lone Star"
Alaire smiled in tacit assent; then
when the two friends had completely
established their intimacy, she mount
ed her own horse and led the way 20
the roundup.
Dawes unbounded delight filled the
mistress of Las PalmaS with the keen
est pleasure. He laughed, he nummed
snatches of songs, he kept up a chat
ter addressed as much to the mare as
to his companion, and under it Mont
rosa romped like tomboy. 1t was
gratifying to meet with such apprecia-
tion as this; Alaire felt warm and
friendly to the whole world, and de-
cided that out of her abundance she
must do more for other people.
OF course Dave had to tell of Don
Ricardo's thoughtful gift, and eonclud-
ed by saying, 81 think this must be
my birthday, although it doesn't fit in
with the calendar"
"Don Ricardo has his enemies, but
he is good-hearted old man."
eyes" Dave agreed. Then, more
gravely, I'm sorry l let him go across
the river" There was a pause. If
anybody harms him, reckon I'll have
a feud on my hands, for I'm a grateful
person."
Il believe it. I can see that you are
loyal"
Il was starved on sentiment when
was little, but it's in me bigger than
skinned OK. They say gratitude is an
elemental, primitive emotion"
Perhaps that's why it is so rare
nowadays" said Alaire, not more than
half in jest.
"You find it rare?" Dave looked up
keenly. swell, you have certainly laid
up store of 1t today"
Benito and his men had rounded up
perhaps three thousand head OF cattle
when Alaire and her companion ap-
peared, and they were in process of
"cutting out" 1t was an animated
scene, one fitted to rouse enthusiasm

self-you know care very little what
people say or think"
"Im sorry 1 killed the fellow
shouldn't have done it, but-One sees
things differently out in the rough and
here in the settled country. l can't
help but feel that his conduct, under
the circumstances, called fOr-what he
got. He wasn't a good man, in spite
OF what Jose says; Anto confessed to
me that they were planning all sorts
Of deviltry together"
"That is hardly an excuse" Alaire
smiled family.
'Oh, l knowr' Dave agreed. "Don't
weaken on my account"
"NO! I'm not thinking of the con-
the kind of man who can protect him.

direction frightenS me little on Jose'S
account. But"-she sighed and lifted
her shoulders in a shrug- perhaps

Dave laughed with some relief. 81
think you've worried yourself enough
over it, ma'am," he said; splitting
hairs as to what's right and what's
wrong, when it doesn't matter much,
in either case. Suppose you continue
to think it over at your leisure"
Perhaps I'd better. And now
Alaire extended her hand-"wont you
and MOntrOsa come to see me once in
while? I'm very lonesome"
"We'd love to-" Dave declared. He
had it on his lips to say more but at
that moment an eager whinny and an
impatient rattle of a bride bit came
from the driveway, and he smiled
There's her acceptance now"
"Oh, no! She merely heard your
voice, the tickle creature"
Alaire watched her guest until he
had disappeared into the shadows,
then she heard him talking to the

Not long after breakfast Don Ricar-
do GuZman appeared at the Jones
house and warmly greeted his two
friends. To Dave he explained:
last night / came to town, and this
morning l heard you had returned, SC
I rode out at once. You were unsuc-
cessful?''
"Our man never went to Pueblo"
Exactly. / thought as much. How
ever, go to meet Blanco today, and
perhaps / shall discover something"
"What takes you over thereY Blaze
inquired.
'Wait until / tell you. Senior David
here, brings me good fortune at every
turn. He hOnOrs my poor, thirsty
rancho with a visit and brings glori-
Gus rain; then he destroys my enemies
like a thunderbolt. No sooner is this
done than l receive from the Federals
an offer for fifty of my best horses.
Uaramba! Such price, too. They
are in a great hurry, which looks as
if they expected an attack from the
Candeleristas at MatamOr0S. l hope
so. God grant these traitors are Ge-
feated. Anyhow, the horses have gone,
and today l go to get my money in
gold"
"Who's going with you?" asked Law.
Ricardo shrugged. Nobody. There
Is no danger"
Blaze shook his head. "They know
you are a red-hOt rebel. wouldn't
trust them"
'"They know, also, that / am an
American, like you gentlemen" proud
ly asserted Guzman. "That makes a
difference. / supported the Liberator
God rest his soul land / secretly
assist those who fight his assassins,
but SO does everybody else. l am re-
ceiving a fine price for those horses,
so it is worth a little risk. Now, Sc
nor" he addressed himself to the
Ranger, 81 have brought you a little
present. Day and night my boys and
l have worked upon it, for we know
the good heart you have. 1t was fin
ished yesterday. See!" Ricardo un-
wrapped bundle he had fetched, dis
playing a magnificent bride of plait-
ed hOrsehair. 1t was cunningly
wrought, and lavishly decorated with
silver fittings. "YOu recognize those
hairsY he queried. "They came from
the name and tail of your bonita"
Bessie Beller Law accepted the
handsome token, then held out his
hand to the Mexican. ''That was
mighty fine of you, Ricardo. I You
couldn't have pleased me more. We're
going to be friends"
Guzman's delight was keen, his
grizzled face beamed, and he showed
his white teeth in a smile. "Say no
more, What is mine is yours-my
house, my cattle, my right hand.
and my sons will serve you, and you
must come often to see us. Now 1
must CO." He shook hands heartily
and rode away, waving his hat.
There's a good Greaser," Blaze said
with conviction, and Dave agreed feel
ingly.
Eyes! I'd about do anything for
him, after this" Then he took the
bride in for Paloma to admire.
