CHAPTER 3

At that moment Ybarra, shuffling
on toward run away. Either through
coincidence or the house, halted mo-
ment to watch it by kindness of Prov
idence, the frightened rabbit dashed
toward the entrance of the cave. As
it was about to enter there for shelter,
it took a sudden turn and fled in the
opposite direction, with renewed
speed. Ybarra was Immediately sus-
picious. Something-perhaps some
one-must have frightened the ami
NAL. He uttered a little cry. Per-
turned and called:

tribe of earlier days, Ybarra's faith
full servant, appeared in the doorway
Don Carlos motioned to the cave. Joe
understood The old Spaniard, his
days for physical combat passed, went
on toward the hacienda, leaving the
Indian to see to the safety of the cas-
es.
When Ybarra entered the house, he
was welcomed warmly by the one
bright ray in his shattered, lonesome
life. 1t was a young and very beauti
full girl, whom he called Nan. She was
dark, of the Spanish type, but never
theless sparkling American. Ybarr;
often described her to strangers al
the kind of girl an orphan always
imagines his mother was. And tina
was description enough, both of beau
ty and of character.

Father Father!" she whispered,
her throat closing on the words as
she realized that Don Carlos had
reached the end
Ybarra looked up at her and smil-
ed bravely. His outstretched hand
held a fluttering, bulky manuscript.
The other envelope lay on the floor,
beside him. Then, as if exerting all
his energy, he spoke with quivering
lips.

its yours. Read this-read it, and
know 1 loved you as my child. This
is the story; it will explain
Ybarra pushed the yellow papers
into her hand and fell backward to
the floor
Nan and Gwyn gazed at each other
for a moment with a look filled half
with uncomprehensive mystery, half
with amazement Ybarra's parting
confession had so shocked and as
founded her that she could find no
words to voice her feelings. Gwyn,
in the short time that he had known
her, had naturally enough not learn
ed the secrets of her heart. Moreover
the tense excitement had remained at
such a high pitch ever since he had
met her that he had not been able to
study the girl He could see, oil
course, that the revelation made by
Ybarra as he was dying had thoro-
ughly upset Nan. but, as he had moi
learned exactly in what light she hat
looked upon her supposed father, h'
deemed it wisest not to speak unit
he knew her sentiments. The two
looked down again at the manuscript
before them. Gwyn held in his han'
the second envelope, while they read

down one side, his finger pressed on
something. The inner side flew open,
revealing two large, sealed envelopes,

ly. Rushing past Gwyn and Nan, who

iard's face and saw there hidden
terror. He was dying.
