CHAPTER XII.
The Guznan Incident.


Ricardo Guzman did not return
from Romero. The man had disap-
peared, it seemed, completely and mys-
teriously. At first the facts appeared
plain: citizen Of the United States
had been lured across the border and
done to death by Mexican soldiers-for
it soon became evident that Ricardo
was dead. The outrage was a casus
belli such as no self-respecting people
could ignore; so ran the popular ver
dict. The Ominous mailed serpent
which lay along the Rio Grande stirred
itself.
OF course, the people Of Texas were
delighted that the long-delayed hour
had STRUCK; accordingly, when the
state department manifested it's will
ingness to allow Don Ricardo ample
time in which to come to life in pref
erence to putting a further strain upon
international relations, they were both
surprised and enraged. Telegraph
wires began to buzz; the governor Of
the state sent sarcastic message to
the national capital, offering to dis
patch company Of Rangers after
Guzman's body, just to prove that he
was indeed dead, and that the Mexi-
can authorities were lying when they
professed ignorance Of the fact.
This offer not only caught the popu-
lar fancy north Of the Rio Grande, but
it likewise had an effect on the other
side of the river, Tor on the very next
day General Luis Longorio set out for
Romero to investigate personally the
rancher's disappearance.
Now throughout all this public
clamor. truth, as usual, lay hidden at
the bottom Of Its well, and few even
of Ricardo's closest friends suspected
the real reason for his murder.

talk of little else than this outrage,

CHAPTER xI-continued.

A new moon was swinging in the
eky as Alaire and Dave rode back
toward Las Palmas. How or when
Alaire Austin came to feel that this
man loved her, she never knew. Ger
tainly she knew tonight, and, strange
to say, the knowledge did not disturb
her. Alaire had been repealed by Luis
Longorio's evident love for her, but
a similar emotion In this mans breast
had quite the opposite effect. She was
eager for friendship, hungry for affec-
ton, starved for that worship which
every woman lives upon. Having a
wholesome confidence in her own
strength Of character, and complete
faith in Laws sense Of honor, she was
neither alarmed nor offended.
For the first time in years she al
lowed her intimate thoughts free ex-
preston, and spoke Of her hopes, her
interests and her efforts; under the
spell Of the moonlight, she even con-
fided something about those dreams
that kept her company and robbed her
world Of it's sordidness. Dave Law
discovered that she lived In fanciful
land Of unrealities, and the glimpse
he gained Of it was delightful.
Supper was waiting when they ar
rived at Las Palmas, and Dolores an
nounced that "Young Ed had tele-
phoned from the Lewis ranch. that he
would not be home. Yielding to sud-
den impulse, Alaire said to her COM
panion:
"You must dine with me. Dolores
will show you to room. I will be
ready in half an hour"
The Austin ranchhouse offered a
contrast to the majority of Texas
country homes. Not for many years
had Dave Law been guest amid such
surroundings, and he began to feel
more and more out of place. With
growing discomfort, he realized that
the mistress Of this residence was the
richest woman in all this part of Tex
as, and that he was little better than
a tramp. Alaire knew how to be a
gracious and winning hostess; Of
course she did not appear to notice
her guests emil arrassment. She had
rather welcomed the thought that this
man cared for her, and yet, had she
deliberately planned to dampen his
feeling, she could hardly have succeed-
ed better than by showing him the
wide disparity in their lives and situa-
lions. Dave was dismayed; he felt

{From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
A wheatless ration fed to hens on
the United States department of ag-
riculture experiment farm has given
egg-laying results which compare IA
vorably with egg yields secured on
other rations containing wheat, and
therefore more expensive. Pullets to
which this ration has been fed for
IA years produced an average of
1913 eggs per hen for the pullet year.
During the first 16 weeks of its Sec
ond year this pen has averaged 28.5
eggs per hen, IT'S eggs per hen being

low because of small original holdings
and large export demands. This re-
suited in unusually high prices to pro-
ducers during the fall and winter of
1916. The supply was unexpectedly
heavy and large stocks were stored at
high costs. Then export demands fell
off, the wave of economy affected the
home demand, and the storage stocks
moved slowly. The net result, accord
ing to the department, is that almost
everybody ought to enjoy chicken din
ners now at decidedly reduced prices,
and without G feeling that they are
using up needed meat supplies. In
short, it is said to depend on the re-
tailers whether cheaper chickens will
be available.

the affair had caused him to look upon
her as an accessory. Nevertheless,
when she paid him his wages she gave
him good horse, which Jose accepted
with thanks but without gratitude. AS
Alaire watched him ride away with
never a backward glance, she decided
that she must lose no time in appriS-
ing the Ranger Of this new condition
Of affairs.
She drove her automobile to Jones'
vile that afternoon, more worried than
she cared Ito admit. Law was nowhere
in town, and SO, in spite of her reluc-
lance, Alaire was forced to look for
him at the Jones home. AS she had
never called upon Pa1oma, and had
made 1t almost impossible for The girl
to- visit Las Palmas, the meeting Of
the two women was somewhat formal.

no longer the woman he had ridden
with through the solitudes; her very

He did not linger long after they had
dined, for he wished to be alone, where
he could reach an understanding with
himself. On the steps he waited just
q moment for Alaire to mention, if
she chose, that subject which they
had still left open on the night before.

(From the United States Department of

A present congestion In the frozen
poultry market, shown by figures OF
the United States department OF ag-
riculture, can be relieved if the retail
dealers will handle the goods at a rea-
sonable advance over wholesale prices.
This action would make poultry avail
able at prices comparing favorably
with other meats according to the find
ings of a conference just held here
between wholesale poultry distrlbu-
tors and officials Of the department OF
agriculture. Both parties to the con-
ference say that more poultry should
be eaten when the facts are under
stood by tb9 consumer; and an IN
creased use Of poultry now, in the
opinion Of the department, will tend to
conserve other meats which are OF
more Importance to- Americans and
their allies in Europe. The retailers,
as well as wholesalers, it is pointed
