At such an hour her thoughts natu-
rally turned to Dave Law, and she
found herself yearning for him with
yearning utterly new. His love had
supported her through those miserable
days at Las Palmas, but now it was a
torture; she called his name wildly, pas
siOnately. He knew her whereabouts
and her peril-why did he not come?
Then, more calmly, she asked herself
what he, or what anyone, could do
for her. How could she look for sue
cor when two nations were at war?
Night had come before she finally
gave mp and acknowledged the hope
lessness of her situation. She had
fought bravely, but with darkness her
fears grew blacker. She was on the
verge Of her first breakdown, when,
in the early dusk outside, she heard
voices and the stamping OF horses
hoOfs. The sounds were muffled by
the heavy wooden shutters she had
taken pains to close and bar, but they
told her LongoriO had returned. Since
1t was futile to deny him entrance, she
waited where she was. Old PaDchO's
voice sounded outside; then there
came a knock upon the door Of the
room in which she stood.
Come in" she said tensely.
The lieutenant thrust his head in,
and, removing his hat, announced,
There is someone here to see Gen

Pancho was pushed aside, the door
was flung back, and man strobe
swiftly into the lamplight. He paused,
blinking as if mOmentarily blinded, and
Alaire clutched at the nearest chair
for support. A roaring began in her
ears; she felt herself sway forward as
If the strength had left her knees. She
heard Dawes voice family; he was say

As if in a dream, Alaire saw the
Mexican go out, closing the door be

toward her, heard him speak her name,
felt his arms around her.
Alaire did not swoon, but she never
could remember very distinctly those
first few moments. Scarcely knowing
what she did, she found herself cling

SOL Let US go outside and learn
more about this" Longorfo waved his
men before him, and followed them out
of the room and down the hall and
into the night.
When moment or two had dragged
past, Dolores quavered. "What are
they going to do with him?''
L don't know. Anyhow, you need
not fear
There sounded the report of a gun
shot, deadened indeed by the thick
adobe walls of the house, yet sudden
and loud enough to startIe the women.
When Longorio reappeared, he found
Alafre standing stiff and white against
the wall, with Dolores kneeling, her
face still buried in her mistress gown.

gasped. 'T can't talk to you. Go

The man pondered for an instant

agreed reluctantly, ''for I see you, too,

hopefully.

He bowed over Alaire's cold fingers,
then stood erect until she and Dolores
had gone.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Priest From monclova-

ne Priest rom moncIoVa.
That was a night of terror for the
women. Although Longorio's disci-
pine was in some ways strict, in 9TH
ers it was extremely lax. From some
quarter his men had secured a supply
Of mescal, and, forgetful of Felipe's
unhappy fate, they rendered the hours
hideous. There were singing and quar-
reling, and shot or two sounded from
the direction of the outbuildings. Morn
ing found both Alaire and Dolores
sadly overweight. But they felt
some relief upon learning that the gen.
era1 had been Unexpectedly summoned
from his bed at daylight, and had rid
den to the telegraph Office.
Prof1ting by his absence, Alaire ven
tured from her room, racking her brain
to devise some means of escape. But
soldiers were everywhere; they lolled
around the servants quarters; they
dozed in the shade OF the ranch build
ings, recovering from the nights de
bauch; and an armed sentinel who
paced the hacienda road gave evidence
that, despite their apparent careless
ness, they had by no means relaxed
their vigilance. A round of the prem
iseS convinced Alaire that the place
was actually guarded, and showed her
the futility of trying to slip away. She
realized, too, that even if she managed
to do so, her plight would be little
better. For how could she hope to
cover the hundred miles between La
Feria and the Rio 6rande when every
peon was an enemy?
She was standing in one of the open.

protector, the old lieutenant, babe her

cigarette.
"Well, it was a great night, wasn't

news this morning. We are going to
fight you gringos."

"Oh, yes"
'It's full of loot, eh7 Especially the

''Why do you ask?' Alaire was Gu
rious.
81 was thinking IL would pay US to
go there. If your soldiers march upon

How would you go about it?'
Pancho shrugged. ''That is the
trouble. We would have to march
around Texas, I presume"
Around Texas?''
"Yes. You see, Texas is bad coun-
try; it is full of-barbarians who know
how TO fight. II it were not for Texas.
We would have the United States at
our mercy" After some consideration,
he ventured this opinion: I'VE could
afford to pay the Texans for allowing
us to ride through their country, pro-

the cattle we ate. Well, Longorio is
