created a furry Of suppressed excite
ment, therefore, when Luis Longorio,
the autOcrat of the Potosista forces,
boldly crossed the bridge, traversed
the streets of Pueblo, and entered the
Hamilton hotel.
From his seat in the lobby Law
heard the general inquire for Mrs. Aus
tin. and then saw him ascend In the
direction of the parlor. He rose and
strOlled restlessly about the hotel. A
half-hour passed and Longorio did not
reappear; an hour dragged by, and
then Dave took occasion to go to his
room A glance through the open par
lor door showed the foreigner in closest
conversation with Mrs. Austin. They
were laughing; they were alone; even
Dolores was nowhere to be seen. He
chewed several cigars viciously before
realizing that he was jealOus-yes,
madly, unreasonably jealous.
So! His divinity was not as unap-
proachable as he had imagined. Doubt
less Longorio was mad over her, which
explained the fellows willingness to
help her exact reparation from his gov
ernment. Fine doings for a respect
able married woman! 1t was wrong,
scandalous, detestable!
Had Dave only known the truth, he
would have gained a grim comfort
from it, for Alaire Austin was not en-
joying herself that evening. Her call
er stayed on interminably, and she be-
came restive under the flow of his con-
versation. For some reason or other,
LongoriO was not the romantic figure
he had been; in his citizens clothes
he was only a dandifed Mexican gal
liant like any number of others. The
color was gone from the picture; this
Quixotic guerrilla hero, this elegant
Ruy Bias, was nothing more than a
tall, olive-skinned foreigner, whose ar
dor was distasteful. Longorio was
tireSome.

August IA, 1917. Mrs. Phoebe
Webb, president of the Bee Hive
Girls of Snowflake, chaperoned a
party of about 80, who left for a
three days camping out and to
see the Famous Petrifed Forest
of Arizona, going by Woodruff to
join the Bees there and to go out
and sight-see and camp together.
After stopping in Woodruff for a
rest and drink, the journey was
pursued, and the company with
the Woodruff party arrived at
the Forest in late afternoon.

When they stood face to face in the
shade of gnarly oak tree, Alaire
asked him point-blank
"Where is PanfilO Sanchez?"
Dave met her eyes squarely; his
own were cold and hard. "He's where
he dropped at my second shot," said
he.
He could hear his companions sharp
inhalation. He did not finch at the
look she turned upon him.
''He was practically unarmed What
do you call-such an act?"
Dawes lips slowly whitened, his face
became stony. He felt himself pitt
lessly condemned.
"Why didn't you tell me at the
time?" she asked. "Why didn't you
report it?"
'T'n report it when you give me per-
mission"
"I-2 What-T She wheeled to
face him.
"Think moment. 1 can't tell half
the truth. And if I tell everything.
it will lead tO-gOssip."
"Ah! / think l understand. Mr.
Law, you can be insulting"
For the first time the man lost mus
cular control of his features; they
twitched, and under their tan his
cheeks became sickly yellow.
you've no right to say that" he told
her harshly. you've plumb over
stepped yourself, ma'am, and-I reck-
on you've formed quite a wrong opin-
ion. Panf1lO had his six-shOoter and
he used it; he intended to ambush me
and release his companion, but
forced his hand; so it amt what I'd
call murder; haven't lost any sleep
over it. +"
"You are utterly ruthless"
"Yes'm I'm not what you would
consider a nice person; the death of
PanfilO Sanchez means nothing what
ever to me. If you can grasp that fact,
you'll see that your own reputation
weighed heavier in my mind that the
lives of dozen Mexicans-or whites,
for that matter"
II go anywhere, everywhere. No one
has ever had the effrontery to ques-
ton my actions" Alaire told him,
stif1y.
"And / don't aim to give 'em a
chance" Dave was stubborn.
There was another interval of ST
Ience.
"You heard what Jose said. What
are you going to do?
Dave made gesture of indiffer-
ence. "It doesn't greatly matter. I'll
tell him the truth. perhaps. You might
warn him against any foolishness.
Jose has some sense"
The woman looked up curiously.
"Don't you know how to be afraid?
Haven't you any fear?" she asked.
Dawes gray eyes were steady as he
answered: "Yes'm! I'm afraid this
thing is going to spoil our friendship.
I've been desperately afraid, all along.

tion. Even now I'm afraid, on your
account, to make public Panf1lo San.
CHEFS death. Yes'm, l know what 1t
is to be afraid"
1t became evident to Dave, as the
afternoon progressed, that they would
be very late in arriving at Las Palmas,
and he began to fear that his hostess
would feel in duty bound to insist upon
his spending the night at her home.
But as if his thoughts were telepa-
thic messages, she did the very thing
he feared.
1--WE won't be In before midnight"
she said, but I'll send you to Jones'
vile in the morning."

1--WE PrOmise!" Eagerly Cried the Pair

Mexican for his cOurtesies, he numDly
begged permission to pay his respects
that evening at her hotel, and she
could not refuse.
AS the coach went bouncing across
the International bridge, Dolores said
spitefully: "It will take more than the
pardon of poor Juan Garcia to unlock
heaven for that bandit. Do you notice
the way he looks at you? 1t is enough
to damn him for all eternity"
Upon her arrival at the hotel Alaire
received an agreeable surprise, for as
her vehicle paused at the curb David
Liw stepped forward, hat in hand.
"What bloodthirsty business brings
you to PuebloT' she queried, when they
had exchanged greetings.
Law smiled at her. 'I came to of
fer free board and lodging to a poor
Greaser. But he amt here. And you,
ma'am?"
When Dave learned that she was
counting upon General Luis LongOrio's
aid in securing justice, he regarded her
with some curiosity as he inquired:
isn't Longorio the very man who
robbed your"
eyes"
'1Mexicans are peculiar people," Law
said slowly. "At least we don't under
stand their business methods or their
habits of mind. From my experience
with them, wouldn't put much conf
dence in this Longorio's word. l say
this, and I'm supposed to have a little
Mexican blood in me-"
During this brief conversation they
had entered the hotel, and she gave
her hand to Law.
II hope we shall see each other
again." she murmured.
'That's more'n likely; I'm located in
your neighborhood now," he informed
her. "Tm leaving for Jonesville in the
morning"
"By train?"
"No'm. I'm goin' to follow the river
road if can get an automobile"
Mindful of the Rangers courtesy to
her on their previous meeting, Alaire
said: won't you go with us? We in
tend to start early"
Dave was nearly speechless with de-
light, and when the mistress of Las
Palmas had gone upstairs he felt in
clined to pinch himself to see If he
were dreaming. He had pursued a
fruitless quest during the past few
days, and his resentment had grown
as he became certain that Tad Lewis
had sent him on a wild-goose chase );
but the sight of Alaire miraculously
restored his good spirits, and the pros
pect of a long, intimate ride in her
company changed the whole trend Of
his thoughts. His disappointment at
Palmas had only served to enhance
his memories of their first meeting, and
time now had deepened his interest
tenfOld. Yes, she was "The Lone
STAR" the estrella brillante Of his
empty sky. There could be no doubt
about his feelings; he was more than
rOmantically interested, the mere sight
of her had electrified him. The discov-
cry distressed him, and he very prop
erly decided that the affair should end
here, since 1t could lead to nothing
except disappointment.

CHAPTER X.
Jose Sanchez swears an Oath.
LlreS0Ine

Jose Sanchez SWears an Oath.
Jose Sanchez made use of the delay
at Pueblo to institute further inquiries
regarding his missing cousin, but no
where could he find the slightest trace.
Jose swore an oath that he would learn
the truth if 1t required his whole life
time, and, If it should turn out that
his sainted relative had indeed met
with foul play-well! Jose told his
friends they could judge. by looking at
him, the sort of man he was. He proud.
ly displayed LOngOriO's revolver, and
called it his Cousins little avenger. The
weapon had slain many; it had duty
still to perform, SO he said.
Jose intended to confide his purpose
to Mrs. Austin, but when it came time
to start for Las Palmas there was a
fourth passenger in the automobile,
and he was obliged to hold his tongue
for the moment. Alaire was in good
humor, and expressed her relief at
escaping from everything Mexican.
81 haven't seen q newspaper for
ages, and / don't know what is going
on at Jonesville or anywhere else," she
confided.
Dave told her of the latest develop
ments in the Mexican situation, Of
home happenings, and when she ask ed
him about his own doings, he Informed
her of the affair which had brought
him to Pueblo.
Of course all three of his companions
were breathlessly interested in the
story of Pine Garza's death; Dolores
and Jose did not allow a word to
escape them.
"Caramba 1t required bravery to
ride alone into that rincon," Jose de-
clared. II know Pine Cara we'll, and
he could shoot like the devil"
"You said your horse saved your
life," Mrs. Austin went on. "How do
you mean" When Dave lad explained
she cried, quickly, "You weren't rid

eyes. She's buried where she
dropped. I've been right lonesome
since she went away"
Alaire turned a quick glance upon
the speaker to find his face set and
his eyes miserable Impulsively she
laid her hand upon his arm, saying:
Il know how you must feel. y Do you
know what has always been my dear
est wish? To be able to talk with anil
mails and make friends of them"
Dave smiled absentmindedly.
There's a wonderful book about a
near-sighted old Frenchman who was
cast away on penguin island. He saw
the big birds walking around, and
thought they were human beings"
"How did you happen to read Ana
tOle France?" Alaire asked, with
sharp stare of surprise.
The Ranger stirred, but he did not
meet her eyes. "Well," said he, 'I
read most anything / can get A fell

A basketball game between the high

slty basketball team is being planned
TO take place Wednesday evening Dec.
26 at the Coliseum the proceeds of

The training trip in the spring. one
of baseball's most fascinating phases,
is to be passed up next season 1T ap-
pears and many fans and players will
mourn to hear of it. The most recent
dope from the big league offices indi-
Gates that as a measure of war econ
omy almost all of the big league clubs
will cut out the camps next spring.
Thus the fan must part with the
very engrossing dope that is yearly
sent north from the training camps
and the player must start the season
without the conditioning that he has
always enjoyed after vigorous work
out under the Dixie sun. Players
who are wise and who wish to make
a good showing next season will spend
their winters in healthful pursuits and
will not show up next season with any
greater girth than Is pardonable.
Many players heretofore have kicked
up their heels in the winter season
and have enjoyed diversions and re-
freshments OF an Incorporate char
acter, knowing they could make it all
up on the training trip in the spring.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-12-18

The early weeks before the season.
opening have been dear to the heart Of
the fan for the grand stories that en-
bellish the sport page at that time.
This is the dope that always comes
in for lot of merry joshing, but 1t
pleases the fan just the same and it's
certain that he will miss it.
1t has been estimated that with the
increased price of railroad fare, berths,
hotel bills and so on that it would
cost at least $4,000 more to take a
team south and provide for it next
spring than it has before. There
seems to be no hope Of making this
up anywhere and SO the trip south
must get the boot. The players will
be asked to report week or SO be-
for the beginning of the season and
to report In first rate shape, at that.
There will be exhibition games among
the big league teams before the
season opens. And as there will be
many vets in the game next year it
looks like they'll have to step some to
get the frost out of their old bones.

If those who have been braying
about baseball's dismal future have
not begun to quiet down DIT they
soon will. Every magnate and man
ager of any importance in the country
has come forth with harsh words for
such as choose to despair the games
chances for next season. In fact much
more has been heard from the squelch-
ers of the knockers than from the
knockers themselves. A lot of base
balls big bugs have worked them
selves into a state Of furious indigna-
ton over the treachery of various
knockers and calamity squealers, but
these latter, have not been able to
make the noise the magnates have.
And there are those who believe that
the magnates have managed to give
baseball's uncertain future more prom
inence than even the knockers did.
