CHAPTER XIV.
superstitions and certainties.

SupeFStITlOnS ana CefLalnIieS,
The sensation caused by Ricordo
Guzman's disappearance was as moth
ing to that which followed the recovery
of his body. Whatever the facts of
the rescue, it was generally recognized
that the result had been to bring on
a crisis in the affairs of the two ma
tions. Strong influences, however,
were at work to prevent that very out
come for which the people of Texas
prayed. During the delay there arose
a report that Ricardo Guzman had
borne an evil reputation, and that he
had been so actively associated with
the rebel cause as to warrant punish
ment by the federal government. More
over, a legal question as to his Ameri-
can citizenship was raised-a question
which seemed to have important bear
ing upon the case.
Public interest is short-lived; few
living men can hold it more than day
or two, and it reckons no dead man
worthy of more than an obituary no
tice Thus in the course of time the
Guzman incident was in a fair way
of being officially forgotten and for
given.
But there were several persons who
felt intense relief at the course events
had taken, and among these was Alaire
Austin In the days following that
midnight expedition she had had ample
time in which to mediate upon her
husbands actions. 1t seemed probable
that he had fled to San Antonio, there
to remain until interest in the Guzman
matter had abated.
Alaire telephoned Dave Law. argu-
ing to herself that she must learn
more about her husbands connection
with the Lewis gang. Dave arrived
even sooner than she had expected.
She made him dine with her, and they
spent the evening on the dim-lit gal
lery. In the course of their cOnver-
sation Alaire discovered that Dave, too,
had a hidden side of his nature that
he possessed an imagination, and with
it a quaint, whimsical, exploratory turn
of mind which enabled him to talk
interestedly of many things and many
places. On this particular evening he
was anything but the man of iron she
had known-until she ventured to
speak of Ed. Then he closed up like
a trap. He was almost gruff in his
refusal to say word about her hus-
band.
Because of Eds appropriation of the
ranch cash, Alaire found it necessary
a few days later to go to the bank,
and, feeling the need of exercise, she
rode her horse Montrose. When her
errands had been attended to, she sud-
denly decided to call on Paloma Jones.
1t was years since she had voluntarily
done such thing; the very impulse
surprised her.
Paloma, it happened, was undergoing
that peculiar form of feminine torture
known as 'fitting;" but insecurely
basted, pinned and tucked as she was,
she came flying down to the gate to
meet her visitor.
Alaire was introduced to Mrs.
Strange, the dressmaker, a large acid
ulous brunette, with a mouthful of
pins; and then, when PalOma had Civ
en- herself once more into the seam

stress hands, the two friends gossiped.
81 don't know what dad will say
when he gets the bill for these
dresses" Paloma confessed.
"Your father is a mighty queer
man." Mrs. Strange observed. 81
haven't so much as laid eyes on him."
Paloma nodded. eyes. And he's get
ting more peculiar all the time; can't
make out what ails him."
'eWhere is he now?" asked Alaire.
"Heaven knows Out in the barn
or under the house." Taking advan-
tage of the dressmaker's mOmentary
absence from the room, PalOma con-
tinued in a whisper: 81 wish you'd talk
to dad and see what you make of him.
He's absolutely-queer. Mrs. Strange
seems to have peculiar effect on HIN.
Why, it's almost as if"
"What?"
''Well, / suppose I'm foolish, but
I'm beginning to believe in spells. You
know, Mrs. Strange's husband is sort
of-necromancer."
'How silly!"
There was no further opportunity
for words, as the woman reappeared at
that instant; but a little later Alaire
went in search of Blaze, still cOnsid-
erably mystiied. AS she neared the
farm buildings, she glimpsed a mans
figure hastily disappearing into the
barn. The figure bore a suspicious re-
-
she followed, he was nowhere to be
seen.
"Mr. Jones % Alaire called. She re-
peated Blaze's name several times !;
then something stirred. The door of a
harness closet opened cautiously, and
out of the blackness peered Paloma's
father. He looked more owlish than
ever behind his big, gOld-rimmed spec
tacles. "What in the world are you
doing in there?" she cried.
Blaze emerged, blinking. He was
dusty and perspiring.
"Hello, Miz Austin! ~ he saluted her
with poor assumption of breezipe ess.
81 was fixin' some harness, but I'm
right glad to see you"
Alaire regarded him quizzically.
"What made you hide?" she asked.
Glide? Who, me?"
81 saw you dodge in here like "a
gopher"
Blaze confessed: 81 reckon I've got
the willies. Every woman l see looks
like that dressmaker.
"PalOma was telling me about you.
Why do you hate her so?"
81 don't know s l hate her, but hey
and her husband have put a jinx On
me. They're the worst people ! ever
see, AIiz Austin"
"You don't really believe in such
thingsY
Blaze busted off a seat for his visi-
tor, saying: ST never did till lately,
but now Pm worse than a plantation
niger. 1 tell yOu there's things in
his world we don't sabe. wish you'd
get Paloma to fire her. I've tried and
failed. l wish you'd tell her those
dresses are rotten"
'But they're very nice; they're love-
ly; and I've just been complimenting
her. Now what has this woman done
to you?"
1t seemed impossible that a man of
Blaze Jones' character could actually
The Snowflake herald., 1917-09-14

harbor crude superstitions, and yet
there was no mistaking his earnest
ness when he said:
Il amt sure whether she's to blame,
or her husband, but misfortune has
folded me to herself"
"HOw?"
"Well, I'm sick"
"You don't look it."
81 don't exactly feel it, either, but
I am. 1 don't sleep good, my hearts
actin up, I've got rheumatism, my
stomach feels like I'd swallowed some
thing alive"
you're smoking too much" Alaire
affirmed, with conviction.
But skepticism aroused Blaze's in
dignation. With elaborate sarcasm, he
retorted: II reckon that's why my best
team Of mules ran away and dragged
me through a ten-acre patch of grass
burrs, eh? It's a wonder l wasn't
killed. / reckon I smoked so much
that / give a tobacco heart to the best
three-year-old bull in my pasture
Well, l smoked him to death, all right.
Probably it was nicotine poisonin' that
killed twenty acres of my cotton, too
and maybe if I'd cut out tobacco I'd
have floated that bond issue on the
irrigation ditch. But l was welded to
cigarettes, so my banks are closin'
down on me. Sure That's what a
man gets for smokin'."
"And do you attribute all these mis-
fortunes to Paloma's dressmaker?"
The man nodded gloomily. "That

The findings of the reserve board
say:
The unfortunate arrangements of
officers and directors IS the culmina-
ton OF a series of incidents, each
small in itself. and might easily have
been avoided by a little tact on one
hand and frankness and forbearance
on the other. They were accentuated
by unfortunate newspaper publicity.
some OF which was surreptitiously
given out and some upon authorized
statements. all Of which were mex.
cusable. They have now reached pro.
portions which, in the judgment OF
the board, render it impossible for
the parties involved TO cooperate TO
the degree necessary for efficient
public service, which, of course. is
the one controlling consideration.
There being no alternative, the
board is reluctantly compelled to &C
cept the designations of Directors

resignation of DR.. Mead is accent ed

Contracts have been placed for the

in less than Ice days. The total cost
of the buildings and plant will be in
the neighbcrhood OF Sl.OOC.C0O. and
il is expected that when the completed
plant is working up to its capacity it
will utilize the services OF approx

OF producing 1000 small planes per
