the dead body of Ed Austin.

him and brought him in. He hasn't

Law ran his eyes over the room, and
then asked, sharply, "Where is Mrs.
Austin?"
He was answered by Benito Con-
zales, who had edged closer. "She's
not here, senior"
"Have you notified her?"
Benito shrugged. "There has been
no time, it all happened so quickly"
Someone interrupted, and Dave saw
that it was the local sheriff-evidently
it was he who had waved from the
speeding machine a few moments be-
fore.
'T'm glad you're here, Dave, for you
can give me a hand. I'm going to round
up these Mexicans right away and find
out what they know. Whoever did it
hasn't gone far; so you act as my
deputy and see what you can learn"
When Dave had gained better con-
troll of himself he took Benito outdoors
and demanded full details of the trag-
edy. With many lamentations and in
coherencies the range boss told what
he knew.
Ed had met his death within half
mile of Las Palmas as he rode home

TO the house, had found the body, still
warm, near the edge of the pecan
grove. He had retained enough sense

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. 1t
was all familiar, pleasant; it 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 feeling of unhealthy 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 destl-
nation he refined in to look.
Behind him he heard the hum of an
approaching motor, and he turned to
behold a car racing along the road he
had just travelled. The machine was
running fast, as a long streamer Of
choking dust gave evidence, and Dave
soon 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 a half-mile ahead
and veered abruptly into the Las Pal
mas gateway, Dave lifted Montrosa to
a run, wondering what pressing neces-
sity could have induced the prescott
ing attorney to risk such reckless
burst OF speed.
Dave told himself that he was I'M
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.
Dawes knees shook under him as he
dismounted; for one sick, giddy instant
the scene swan before his eyes; then
he ran toward the house and up the
steps. He tried to frame a question,
but his lips were stiff with fright.
Needless of those in his path, he forced
his way into the house, then down the
hall toward an open door, through
which he saw a room full of people.
From somewhere came the shrill wall
ing of woman; the house was full of
hushed voices and whisperings. Dave
had but one thought. From the depths
of his being voice called Alaire's
name until his brain rang with it.
A bed was in the room, and around
1t was gathered group of white-faced
people. With rough hands Law cleared
way for himself, and then stopped,
frozen In his tracks. His arms relaxed,
