HEART OF THE SUNSET

dirt floor, from the window of which
they watched Juan go to meet group
of horsemen. Inez went out. too, and
joined in the parley. Then, after a
time. the riders galloped away.
When Alaire, having watched the
party out Of sight, turned from the
window she found that Dave had col.
lapsed upon chair and was sleeping
his limbs relaxed, his body sagging.
"Poor fellow, he's done up," Father
O'Malley exclaimed.
"Yes; he hasn't slept for days." she
whispered. "Help me-" With the as
sistance of Dolores they succeeded In
lifting Dave to the bed, but he half
reused himself. 'Lie down, dear"
Alaire told him. "Close your eyes for
few minutes. We're safe now"
Somebody has to keep watch he
muttered, thickly, and tried to fight off
his fatigue. But he was like drunken
man.
sI'm not sleepy; I'll stand guard"
the priest volunteered, and, disregard,
s1g further protest, he helped Alaire
remove Dawes coat.
Seeing that the bed was nothing
more than board ps storm covered
with straw mating, Alaire folded the
garment for a pillow; as she did so
handful of soiled, frayed letters spilled
out upon the floor. a

she begged Of her husband. "Just for
q little WHILE
"All right" he agreed. "Call me in
An hour. Couldn't sl6ep-wasn't
time" He shook off his WEAKNESS and
smiled at his wife, while his eyes
filmed with some emotion. 'There is
something ought to tell you, butt
can't now-nOt now. Too sleepy" His
head dropped again; she forced him
back; he stretched himself out with q
sigh, and was asleep almost instantly.
Alaire motioned the others out OF
the room, then stood looking down at
the man into whose keeping she had
given her life. AS she looked her face
became radiant. Dave was unkempt,
unshaven, dirty, but to her he was Of
godlike beauty, and the knowledge that
he was hers to comfort and guard was
strangely thrilling. Her love for Ed,
even that first love Of her girlhood,
had been nothing like this. How could
it have been like this? she asked her
self. How could she have loved deep
ly when, at the time, her own nature
lacked depth? Experience had broad.

CHAPTER XIV.
A Grateful Peon.

With singing heart Alaire rode
through the night at her husbands
side. The strain of the last few hours
had been so intense, the relief at her
deliverance so keen, that now she felt
Suriously weak, and she kept close to
Dave, comforted by his nearness and
secure in the knowledge of his strength.
Although he was unusually taciturn
and rode with his chin upon his breast,
she attributed his silence to fatigue.
Now and then, therefore, she spurred
30 his side and spoke SOFTLY caressing-
~. At such times he reached for her
hand and chung to it.
Dave was indeed weary; he was, in
fact, in sort of stupor, and not infre-
Quently he dozed for moment or two

from La Feria the riders halted at g
point where the road dipped into a
rocky stream-bed; then, as the horses
drank, Dolores voiced thought that

ened her, and suffering had uncovered
depths in her being which nothing else
had had the power to uncover. StOop-
ing, she kissed Dave softly, then let
her cheek rest against his. Her mani
Her man! She found herself whisper
ing the words.
For long time she sat gazing at
him tenderly; then she tiptoed out and
delighted the naked Garcia baby by
taking him in her arms and hugging
him. Inez thought the beautiful
senora's voice was like the music OF
birds.
1t was growing dark when Dave was
awakened by cool hands upon his face
and by soft lips upon his. He opened
his eyes to find Alaire bending over
him.
"You must get up" she smiled. SIT
is nearly time to go, and Inez is cook
ing our supper"
He reached up and took her in his
arms. She lay upon his breast, thrill
ing happily with her nearness to him,
and they remained so for while, whis.
pering now and then, trying Intellectual
ly to voice the thoughts that needed no
expression.
"Why did you let me sleep so longY
he asked her, reproachfuliy.

CHAPTER xxlII-continued

Longorio broke in with q Snarl: "Is
II my fault that the country is in
arms? Military necessity compels me
10 remain here. / consider myself
mountainous. l." His voice cracked,
and he made a dispairing, violent ges-
ture. "Go, before change my mind"
Dave signaled to the others, and
Alaire slipped away to make hdgself
ready. During the uncomfortable 81
.ence which succeeded her departure,
Longorio paced the room, keeping his
eyes resolutely turned away from Law.
''Dc you mean that I, too, may go?'
O'MaIley inquired.
"What good are you to meY snapped
the general.
''You will give us safe conduct"
"Be still, priest!" Longorio glared
at the speaker, claSping and unclasping
his fists behind his back.
With the sound Of hoofs outside,
Alaire and Dolores appeared, and the
Mexican Strengthened himself with an
effort.
"Adios, senora I" he said, with stiff
bow. "We have had-a pleasant friend
ship and a thrilling Irritation, Ell? !
shall never cease to regret that fate
interrupted at such an interesting mo-
ment. Adios! Adiosw He bowed
formally, in turn to Dave and to the
priest, then resumed his pacing, with
his hands at his back and his brow
furrowed as if in struggle with az
fairs of greater moment than this.
But when he heard the outside door
creak shut behind them his Indifference
vanished and he halted with head
turned in an effort to catch the last
sounds of their departure. His face
was like taIlow now, his lips were
drawn back from his teeth as if in SUI
preme agony. A moment and the hoof-
beats had died away. Then Longorio
slipped his leash.
He uttered a cry-a hOarse, half
Btrangled shrek that tore his throat.
He plucked the collar from his neck as
If it choked him; he beat his breast
Selling whatever article his eye fell
upon, he tore and crushed it: he swept
the table clean of it's queer Spanish
bric-a-brac, and trampled the litter un-
der his heels. Spying painting Of 8

Waists Normal to Lona.

All dresses except those designed
for young girls show either normal
or long waist line, says the Drygoods
Economist. The Various lines for
college and high school girls have
rather short waists or by means
of wide girdles give general effect
Of short waists. The use Of wildly
colored plaid silks for trimming these

growing in favor. Colors follow close
" those shown In coats and suits,
with leaning, perhaps, of navy and
other shades of blue, which are not
seen except in few suits.

WRAP COATS NEW
COLD BATH AS BEAUTY AID
Grating Shower Finds II Precau-
ton Against Wintry Blasts.

The woman who is accustomed to q
cold shower will find it a great precau-
ton against the cold of winter. 1t
should be taken the first thing in the
morning in a well-warmed bathroom.
Some enjoy the tepid shower, which
is afterward allowed to run cold.
The cold plunge is more taxing to
the delicate woman, and if a shower
is impossible the cold sponge bath is
its best substitute, says a beauty ex-
pert. All Of these cold baths should
be followed by a brisk rubbing with
several coarse towels, so as to in
sure the healthy glow which imparts a
glorious tinge to the surface of the
body.
If your flesh is fiabby, after washing
the face with warm water and soap,
dash the skin with cold water to which
has been added teaspoonful of BEN
zoin. A cold compress around the neck
at night will harden the flesh and re-
move the f1abby appearance.
There are many women who, when
cold weather approaches, put on ar
mor-like clothing and shut themselves
in almost alright houses. This is
wrong, of course, both for beauty and
health. Some skins are sensitive to
cold and direct contact with wintry
winds 1e hard on them; but though
your caticle may be delicate, it need
not prevent you from going out. A
coat of good skin food, well rubbed In
and busted over with powder, should
be applied before leaving the house.

HaIf-Length Garments Are Suit
able For All Occasions.
Sleeveless coatee Intended to Be
Worn Under Loose Coat or
Heavy Fur Mantle.

Nothing could be more charming
than the half-length wrap coats of the
present season. They are admirable
from every point of view, for not only
are they original in design, but they
are also practical and suitable for all
occasions, says Idalia de Villiers, a
Paris correspondent.
The sketch shows q warm sleeve
less coatee which is intended to be
worn under a loose motor wrap or
under a heavy fur mantle. This lit
tie coatee is exceedingly decorative
and it would look delightfully."- cozy
and festive at restaurant tea or for
visiting when the outer mantle was
thrown off. The material of this mod

MAlnoa Materw

The phrase "alma mater" as applied
to colleges and universities, is said to
have originated in the University Of
Bonn, Germany. A statue of the Moth
er of Christine alma mater, or be-
loved mother, stands over the doorway
of that famous seat of learning. From
it the phrase received its origin.
