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 a chair and was sleeping,
his limbs relaxed his body sagging.
"Poor fellow, he's done up," Father
O'Malley exclaimed.
ayes; 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 of
his fatigue. But he was like drunken
man. .....
"Tm not sleepy; I'll stand guard" "
the priest volunteered, and, disregard
'og further protest, he helped Alaire
remove Dawes coat.
Seeing that the bed was nothing
more than board platform covered
with straw mating, Alaire folded the
garment for pillow; as she did so a
handful of solled, frayed letters spilled
out upon the floor.
"Rest now, while you have chance"
she begged of her husband. "Just for
a 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 I ought to tell you, but
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 al
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 q
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

self. How could she have loved deep

For a long time she sat gazing at

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 Alalre bending over
him.
"You must get up" she smiled. "It
is nearly time to go, and Inez is cook

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
dcliverance so keen, that now she felt
Curiously weak, and she kept close to
Dave, comtorted 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
to his side and spoke softly, caressing-
ly. At such times he reached for her
hand and clung to 1t.
Dave was indeed weary; he was, in
fact, In sort Of stupor, and not infre-
quently he dozed for n moment or two
In his saddle. SCme two hours out
