she believed that her fathers decision
to make Pancho one OF the trustees
OF the estate held ominous forebod

friends of Juan Lopez, majordomo of
the rancho, and there was something
in the eye Of Lopez that Liberty

The Winston home In Albuquerque
was n OF the oldest in hat section

built IN the early forties by Colonel
Robert Winston. who %journeyed west
from New Hampshire in prospect of

Then they all left the hut, each
going in different directions.
In order not to rouse suspicion,
Lopez made his way to the house, and

PLY with his wife and daughter
Abeyta. Abeyta was a very attrac-
tive girl, about Liberty's age. and was
christened this Indian name after an
old Navajo squaw. who had been In
the Winston household for years.
Now at this time there was a great
deal of unrest among the Mexicans
along the border, and it was said that
there was q plot being formed by
some of the poems to revolt against the
government, which had at its head one
Rodiguez Cubrero. This news was
brought to Captain Robert nutledge
OF the Texas Rangers, who was in
structed by Washington to keep a close
watch on the border, as there was a
rumor that secret meetings were be-
ing held across the International
bridge, on the American side, and,
any outbreak might seriously affect
the diplomatic relationship between
the United States and Mexico.
Rutledge was as brave a ranger as
ever faced a greaser and he feared
nothing but God. For the past five
years he had spent most Of his time
chasing Mexicans across the border.
He vas q handsome fellow and stood
close to Six feet with his boots on.
The leader Of the revolutionists was
none other than Juan Lopez and his
followers were holding their meetings
in his camarn at the rear Of the Hor-
ton estate. Those who knew the his
tory Of Lopez claimed that he was
nt one time q member Of the treach-

"Ah, Senorita, l can no dance like
you Americanos," he answered with
n gracious bow.

how he had defeated the Mexican that
afternoon.
The eyes Of the Mexican cleaned
fire at these words, and instinctively
his hand clutched his holster. Rut-
ledge was or his feet in an instant.
But Lopez decided this was no time
to start anything, and as he slouched
away he remarked with heated anger:

heart Of Il Mexican" answered Rut-
ledge as he led his fair partner out
On the floor.
Pancho broke up the party earlier
than was customary that night, upon
request Of Liberty, who explained that
She was tired from the long journey
and the excitement which had fol-
lowed. So, about a half hour before
midnight the cowboys and servants
started for their lodgings. After Lib
erty had bid the Major and Captain
Rutledge goodnight she went direct
to her room and threw herself on
the bed to wait for the return of
Therese, who had gone to Ell Paso
with Manuel to attend a Mexican
dance. Tired as she was, it didn't take
her long to fall asleep, and a few
minutes later she was living over
again, in her dreams, the events Of
a day that had turned out to be the
happiest in her young life.
How long she slept she didn't know,
but she was suddenly awakened by
q noise just outside her window. She
rubbed her eyes and sat up. What
she saw made her blood run cold.
For, as she looked the dark figure
Of q man was cautiously climbing
through her window! With the aid
Of the moonlight she noted his fea-
lures were that Of q Mexican! She
started to cry out, but before she
found her voice the grim figure made
q leap at her and clapped his hand
over her mouth. at the same time rails
ing her bodily from the bed In his
big brawny arms as though she had
been an infant. She fought madly to
free herself. But he held her IN q
death-like embrace while she kicked
wildly at him. With one hand she
struggled to tear his from her mouth
but he held It there like Q wise. Then
she tainted.
The Mexican then snatched up her
handkerchief. gagged her with It, and,
making certain that there was no dan.
ger Of her reviving immediately, cnr-
ried her to the window: climbed
through and descended with his load,
over his shoulder, down ladder
which had been placed against the
trelliswork. At the bottom stood an.
other black figure. "Para la cabana,"
he said as the other stepped to the
ground with his unconscious load
sagging against him.
At that instant q third figure, which
had been crouched in a dark shadow
at the side OF the house, sprang at
the throat Of the man who was hold
ing Liberty. But. a stifr blow from
the other sent him sprawling to the
| ground.

FIRST EPISODE
The Lair of the Wolf.

Those who could recall the night
he rode into Discovery and showed
his horse In the shed back of the
AlvaradO Hotel. declared that James
Horton was one of the bravest men
that ver hit the trail between Al.
buquerque and Eel Paso. His entry
had been unheralded and unexpected
where he came from nobody knew.
He had q frame, powerful in its con.
struction, to defy argument, while his
cold, steel eyes, seemed to define the
ingredients Of the whisky he had
called for, In addition to reading the
soul Of the man who served it.
The AlvaradO, In those days, was
run by Jack McGuirk, q rustler. who
had slipped into the west from the
east and never talked about his past,
The ranch boys used to relate stories
about q wife and children Jack had
left somewhere in Vermont, and, &C.
cording to their story. there seemed
10 be another man mixed up In II
somewhere. But, Jack never told. and
the boys never asked, 30, the more
conservative Inhabitants Of the little
border town were inclined to accept
the whole thing as gossip.
One thing was certain. Jack Nc.
Guirk was about the most generous
institution that had ever struck the
alfalfa country. II fellow came
into his place to start something Jack
served him from the rear Of the bar
and then walked around In front while
he drank It, keeping his eye firmly
riveted on his holster during the trip
When the roundup was over and the
ranch boys came to town, loaded tC
the saddle with silver, and q deter.
mination to ring It on Jacks bar, II
was nothing unusual for the proprietor
OF the Alvarado to hold them up al
the point Of q six-shooter, when they
reached the sentimental stage, take
the remnants Of their salaries and
slip them into his safe, where they
were kept intact until the next day
when he would return the money to
them. The result. was that to many
It was just like receiving money from
home, and many of them could thank
Jack for their new boots and raw.
hides, which they had bought with
their " money and Jacks good
judgment. This was one Of the rea-
sons why Jack never suffered from
poverty.
NcGuirk took a fancy to Horton the
moment the big. stalwart fellow
crossed the threshold and slouched up
to the bar. Before the dusty stranger
had gulped down his overgrown por-
ton Of whisky McGuirk had learned
enough about him to satisfy a con-
siderable part Of his curiosity. In
those days, q nan who could hit the
trail between Las Vegas and Discov-
cry and live to relate his experience

nate. for prowling bands Of Apaches
