where the wood blazed the brightest.
She watched It fare and become moth

clipping was not very large. When 1t
was gone she put the lid back and
went tiptosing to the door. Then she
ran.
Phoebe was down by the creek, %
Billy Louise went to the stable,
through that and on beyond, still rum
ming. Farther down was a grassy
nook-on beyond the road. She went
there and hid behind the willows,
where she could cry and no one be the
wiser. But she could not cry the ache
out Of her heart nor the rebellion
against the hurt that life had given
her. II she could only have burned
memory when she burned that clip
ping! She could still believe and be
happy II only she could forget the
things It said.
Phoebe called her after Q long while
had passed. Billy Louise bathed her
face In the cold water of the Wolverine,
used her handkerchief for Q towel and
went back to take up the duties life
had laid upon her. The doctors team
was hitched to the light buggy he
drove. and the doctor was standing in
the doorway with his square medicine
case in his hand waiting to give her q
few final directions before he left.
He was like 20 many doctors-he
seemed to be afraid to tell the whole
truth about his patient. He stuck to
evasive optimism and then neutralized
the reassurances he uttered by empha-
sizing the necessity of being notified II
Mrs. Macdonald showed any symp-
toms Of another attack.
Billy Louise ran into her own room,
grabbed q can Of talcum and did not
wait to see whether she applied 1t even
ly to her telltale eyelids, but dabbed
at them On the way to her mothers
room.

"Oh, your lumbago got to scrappins

sturdily before hsr she took heart and
created reasons, . whole company of
them, to tell her why shs ought to give
Ward the benefit Of The doubt. She
remembered what Charlie Fox had said
about circumstantial evidence. She
would not make the mistake hs had
made.
30 she spent other days and long.
wakeful nights. And eince it seemed
impossible to bring her faith to life
again Just a. It had been. with the
glamor OF romance and the sweetness
Of pity and the strength Of her own in
nocence 10 make 1t q beautiful faith
all her pity and Q little Of romance and
created something even sweeter than
her untried faith had been. She had a
new element 10 strengthen IL. She
knew that she loved Ward. She had
learned that from the hurt It had given
her to lose her faith in him.
That was the record OF the inner
Billy Louise which NO one ever saw.
The Billy Louise which her little world
in small details that escaped the no.
tice Of those nearest her. A look in
her eyes for one thing; . hurt. ques-
tioning look that was sometimes re-
bellious as well: . droop Of her mouth
also when she was OF her guard: q sad,
tired little droop that told OF the weight
Of responsibility and worry she was
carrying.
Ward observed both the minute he
saw her ON the trail. He had come
across country on the chance that she
might be riding out that way, and he
had come upon her unawares while
she and Blue were staring out over the
desert from the height they had attain
ed in the hills.
"'Lo. Bill!' he said when he was
quite close and held himself ready to
meet whatever mood she might pre-
sent.
She turned her head quickly and
looked at him, and the hurt look was
still in her eyes; the droop still show
ed at her lips. And Ward knew they
had been there before she saw him.

Then, too, she dreaded any risk Of

ing words had shown her that he
would never forgive the slight she had
put upon him; and she did not wish 10
put his threats to the test. Once Rosa
saw him, on her way to buy a few
centavos' worth of sweet potatoes; he
was huddled in his victoria, a huge
bladder of flesh, and he rode the
streets deaf to the plants of starving
children, blind to the misery of be-
seeching mothers. Rosa shrank into
a doorway and drew her tattered shawl
closer over her face for fear Don Ma
rio might recognize this misshapen
body and in these plnched discolored
features the beauteous blossom he had
craved.
Nor did she forget Colonel Cobo. The
mans memory haunted her, asleep and
awake; of him she was most desperate
~ afraid. When for the first time she
saw him riding at the head Of his cut
throats she was like to swoon in her
tracks, and for a whole day thereafter
she covered in the hut, trembling at
every sound.
In these dark hours she recalled the
stories of the old Varona treasure ana
Esteban's interesting theory of its
whereabouts, but she could not bring
herself to put much faith In either. OF
course 1t was barely possible that there
was indeed treasure, and even that
Esteban's surmise had been correct.
But it was little more than a remote
possibility. Distance lends a rosy
color to reality to our most absurd
imaginings, but, like the haze that tints
far-Off landscape, it dissolves upon
approach. Now that Rosa was here, in
sight of the ruined quinta itself, her
hopes and half-beliefs faded.
More than once she was tempted to
confide In Evangelina and Asensio, but
she thought better of 1t. Although she
put implicit faith in Evangelina's dis
