the south, and yet He rubbed his
eyes and stared again.
Dave pressed forward eagerly, in
credulously; the next instant he had
broken cover with a shout. Alaire was
at his side, clapping her hands and
laughing with excitement.
The cavalcade halted; the big man
tumbled from his saddle and came
straddling through the high grass, wav-
ing his hat and yelling.
"Blaze! You old scoundrel!" Dave
cried, and seized one of the ranchman's
palms while Alaire shook the other.
"Say! We're right glad to see you
ALL" Jones exclaimed. 1--WE reckoned
you might be havin' sort Of unpleas-
antness with Longorio, so we organized
up and came to get you"
The other hOrSemen were crOWdlng
close now, and their greetings were
noisy. There were the two Guzman
boys, Benito Gonzales, Phil Strange,
and a number of Jonesville's younger
and more adventurous citizens.
In the midst Of the tumult Benito in
uuired for his wife, and Dave relieved
his anxiety by calling Dolores and Fa-
Their O'Malley. Then, in answer to
the questions showered upon him, he
swiftly sketched the story Of Alaire's
rescue and their flight from La Feria.
When he had finished Blaze Jones
drew deep breath. "We're mighty

stirrups scanning the long. fiat road
ahead, spoke sharply: "Caramba

cried:

his companions ahead of him, and
when they had gone perhaps a hun

Juan's repeater, saying: ride In a
little way farther and wait. I'm going
back. If you hear me shoot, break for
the river. Ride hard and keep under
cover as much as possible" Before
they could demonstrate he had wheeled
MontrOsa and was gone.
This was luck, he told himself. Ten
miles more and they would have been
safe. for the Rio Grande Is not diff

He dismounted and made his way on

would not, and so they waited together.

HEART OF THE SUNSET

The Journey drew to an end very
quickly. Romero, deserted now by Its
garrison, stirred and stared sleepily at
the invaders, but concerned itself with
their presence no more than to wonder
why they laughed and talked so spirit
eddy. Plainly, these gringos were
barbarous race Of people, what with
their rushing here and there, and Win
their loud, senseless laughter. God had
wisely placed them beyond the ho

The crossing was made; Alaire found
herself in Texas once again. and II
seemed to her that the sun had never
been so bright, the air so clear, the
sky so high, the world so smiling. as
here and now. The men who had nd

too, and they were shaking her hands
and congratulating her. Even the Guz-
man boys, who were shy In the pres
ence of American ladies, were wishing
her the best Of fortune and the greatest
Of happiness.
Blaze Jones was the last to leave.
With especial emphasis upon her name,
she said: "Miz Austin, Paloma and
me would like to have you come to our
house and stay until you feel like goin'
back to Las Palmas."
When Alaire declined with moistened
eyes, explaining that she could not well
accept his invitation, he signifed his
understanding.
"We're goin' to see lot Of you, just
the same" he promised her, "'cause we
feel as If you sort of belonged to US.
There's a lot of good people In this
part of Texas, and them that amt so
good, God and the rangers Is slowly
weedin' out. We don't always know
the ones we like best until something

Alaire turned to Dave in dismay.

worry; they'll respect our wishes"
Father O'Malley had ridden on ahead
with Benito and Dolores; Dave and
Alaire followed leisurely. Now that
the moment of their parting was at
hand, they fingered by the way, delay
Ing it as long as possible, feeling nat
ural constraint at what was in their
minds.
"How iong-will 1t be?" he asked
her, finally. "How long before / can
really have you for my own?"
Alaire smiled into his eyes. "Not

He took her hand in his and they
rode on silently, song in the heart OF
each Of them.

Mammal Got Into Trouble Through
Nosing Around Too Promlscuous-
Iy Among Strangers.

Seals are very plentiful among the
Orkneys, and are sometimes caught
when asleep on the skerries. They are
attracted by musical sounds, and at
one time considerable number were
said to make their appearance In the
bay Of Hoy when the bell of the parish
church close by was rung.
Seals are usually much on their
guard against the approach Of men,
but when unmolested frequently come
close to boats or people ashore. An
instance of this occurred recently on
Skraill bay, in Sandwich, where some
yawls were at paddock fishing, writer
in the Edinburgh Scotsman says.
A seal made it's appearance, and
showed great curiosity as to what was
going on. It swan repeatedly between
two boats a short distance apart, and
ultimately devoted its attention to one
of them, diving under the boat and
coming up first on one side and then
on the other. At last 1t made spring
at fish which was being hauled out
Of the water on hand line. 1t failed
to get proper hold, but the fish was
thrown back to afford another chance,
which the seal quickly seized. 1t kept
so near that eventually one Of the fish
ermen got hold of its tail, and by the
assistance of another 1t was taken into
the boat.
It was a young one, about three feet
in length. It did not seem to appreciate
it's new quarters, and made strenuous
efforts to escape, but was kept q pris-

CHAPTER XIV.
The Dawn.

Juan Garcia proved to be a good
guide, and he saved the refugees many
miles on their road to the Rio Grande
But every farm and every VILE geo yea
to make numerous detours. As the
night grew older, however they rode a
straighter course, urging their horses
to the limit, hoping against hope to
reach the border before daylight over
took them. This they might have done
had 1t not been for Father O'Malley
and Dolores, who were unused to the
saddle and unable to maintain the pace
Juan set for them.
About midnight the party stopped on
the crest of flinty ridge to give their
horses breath and to estimate their
progress. The night was fine and clear;
outlined against the sky were the
stalks Of countless sotol-plants stand
Ing slim and bare, like the upright
lances of an army at rest; ahead the
road meandered across a mesa, COW
cred with grama grass and black, form
less blOts of shrubbery.
Father O'Malley groaned and shift
ed his weight. Juan tells me We'll
never reach Romero by morning, at this
rate" he said; and Dave was forced to
agree. II think you and he and Alaire
had better go on and leave Dolores and
me to follow as best we can"
Dolores plaintively seconded this
suggestion. II would rather be burned
at the stake than suffer these agonies,"
she confessed. "My bones are broken.
The devil Is in this horse" She began
to weep softly. go, sonora. Save
yourself! 1t is my accused fat stom-
ach that hinders me. Tell Benito that

to 1t, when he remarries, that he retains
none of my treasures"
Alaire treasured her by saying: "We
won't leave you. Be brave and make
the best Of It,"
Eyes, grit your teeth and hold on"
Dave echoed. "We'll manage to make
it somehow"
But progress was far slower than it
should have been, and the elder woman
continued to lag behind, voicing her
distress in groans and lamentations.
The priest, who was made Of sterner
stuff, did his best to bear his tortures
cheerfully.
. In spite of their efforts the first rosy
herald of dawn discovered them still a
long way from The river and just enter
ing q more thiclly settled country.
Daylight came swiftly, and Juan finally
gave them warning.

The Mexican shook his head.
Dave considered for moment. "You

ions, "while l ride on to Romero and

Blanco's troops have left, and in that
case everything will be all right"
Suppose they haven't?' Alaire in

highest of moods, and had steadily re-

Miz Austin, your pictures In every

me, it's the worst atrocity of the war.

the group now, and he asked, HAS war
been declaredT
"Not yet, but we've got hopes" To
Alaire Blaze explained: "Ellsworth's
In Washington, wavin' the Stars and
Stripes and singin' battle hymns. but l
reckon the government figures that the
original of these newspaper pictures
would be safe anywhere. Well, we've
got our own ideas In Jonesville, so
some of us assembled ourselves and de-
clared war on our own hook. These
gentlemen"-Blaze waved his hand
proudly at his neighbors-"constitute
the Jonesville Guards, the finest body
Of American men that has Invaded
Mexican soil since me and Dave went

II was evident, from the words Of the
others, that the Jonesville Guards were
indeed quite as needless OF interna-
tional complications as was their COM
mander. One and all were highly in
censed at Longorio's per1dy. and, had
Alaire suggested such a thing, 1t was
patent that they would have ridden on
La Feria and exacted reckoning from
him.
Such proof of friendship affected her
deeply, and it was not until they were
all under way back toward Romero
that she felt she had made her appre-
citation fully known. When she reject
ed that these men were some OF the
very neighbors whom she had Stunned

she had so habitually misconstrued all

told her, bit by bit, what had happened
during her absence. She learned, much
to her relief. that Eds funeral had
been held, and that all the distressing
details of the inquiry had been attend
ed to. Jose Sanchez, it appeared, had
confessed freely. Although her new
friends made plain their indignation
at the manner Of Eds taking away,
they likewise let her know that they
considered his death only slight loss,
either to her or to the community. Not
one of them pretended 1t was anything
