and far beyond twinkled the evidence
that some belated citizens of Romero

long-barreled rifle, and this she
clutched nervously as she and Alaire

In the Lewis car were several men.

one of them ran around the front OF

Paloma Jones was here he could not
imagine.
Alaire's caller remained at ease, and
appeared to welcome this chance of
meeting Austin. Luis Longorio was
the. sort of man who enjoys a strained
situation, and one who shows to the

PalOma was gone with rush. In
a moment she returned, ready for the
trip, and with her she carried a rifle
nearly as long as herself.

In offering to lend a hand in this
difficulty Alaire had acted largely
upon impulse, and, now that she took
time to think over the affair more
cOolly, she asked herself what pos
sible business of hers it could be. For
her part. Paloma was troubled by no
uncertainty of purpose; it did not
seem to her at all absurd to go to
her fathers assistance, and she was
so eager to be up and away that the
prospect of long evenings wait made
her restless.
AS usual, Ed Austin had not taken
the trouble to inform his wife of his
whereabouts; Alaire was relieved to
find that he was out and she decided
that he had probably stayed at Tad
Lewis for supper.
The women were seated ION the
porch after their meal, when up the
driveway rode two horsemen. A mo-
ment later tall figure mounted the
steps and came forward with out
stretched hand, crying in Spanish:
"Senora! | surprise you. Well, ]

naive; her face was that of a startled
schoolgirl. The Mexican warmly kissed
her fingers, then turned to meet Palo-
ma Jones. AS he bowed, the women
exchanged glances over his head. Miss
Jones looked frankly frightened, and
her expression plainly asked the mean
ing of Longorio's presence. To her.
self, she was wondering if it could
have anything to do with that expedi-
ton to the Romero cemetery. She
tried to compose herself, but appre-
hension flooded her.
Alaire, meanwhile, her composure
recovered, was standing slim and mo-
tionless beside her chair, inquiring
smoothly, what brings you into Tex.
