Ferla was several miles from the rail
road; therefore 1t could not have been
more foreign had it lain in the very
heart Of Mexico rather than near the
northern boundary.
In such surroundings, and in spite Of
faint misglvlngs, 1t was not strange
that, after few days, Alaires unhap-

quality and that her life. for the mo-

Alaire looked up wonderlngly. II am
deeply grateful. You overwhelm me.
You area strange man."
Dear lady, live to serve you. Your
wish Is my law. How can I prove it
further?"
The strained, throbbing silence that
followed LongoriO's last words did
more to frighten the woman than had
his most ardent advances. He would
nave fingered indefinitely over the
table, but Alaire soon rose to 20, ex-
planning:

My husband is expecting me-"
This statement was blow; it
seemed to crush Longorio, who could
only look his keen distress.
AS they stepped out into the street,
in the gutter stood Inez Garcia with
her baby in her arms, and beside her
the ragged figure Of a young man,
evidently her Juan. The fellow was
emaciatcd, his face was gaunt and
worn and frightened, his feet we're
bare even of sandals, the huge peaked
straw hat which he clutched over his
breast was tattered, and yet in his eve
there was a light.
They had waited patiently, these
Garcias, hcedful Of Longorlo's orders,
and now they burst into a torrent of
thanks. They flung themselves to
their knees and kissed the edge of
Alalrc's dress. General Longorio en-
1oyed this scene tremendously, and his
Deaming eyes expressed the hope that
Alaire was fully satisfied with the mo-
ment.
"Ihcy look very poor" said Alaire,
ana opened her purse; but Longorlo
would not permit her to give. Extract
ing large roll Of paper money from
MS own pocket, he tossed 1t, without
counting to Juan, and then when the
oniookers applauded, he loudly called
TO one of his officers, saying:

l.ohgorio drew from his pocket several
photographs Of the Austin ranchhouse.
Where did you get those? Alaire
asked In astonishment,
"Ah! My(secret. See! They are
