Kate home.
They rode together through the
wind-swept sunlit land. From time to
time his lazy glance embraced her, a
supple, graceful creature, at perfect
ease in the saddle. What was it about
her :Gat drew the eye so #irresistibly?
Prettier girls he had often seen. Her
features We're irregular, mouth and
nose too large, face a little thin. Her
contour lacked the softness, the allure
that in some women was an uncon-
. scious invitation to cuddle. Tough as
: whipcora lhe might be, but in her
there-1owed a life vital and strong;
dwelt a spirit brave and unconquer-
able. She seemed to him as little subtle
as any woman he had ever met. This
directness came no doubt from living
so far from feminine influences. But
he had a feeling that if a man once
wakened her love, the instinct Of sex
would spring full-grown into being.
Luck lay stretched full length on a
bunk, his face to the roof, a wreath
of smoke from his cigar travelling slow

cloud which hung above him. He

BY the table, facing him squarely,
sat Jose Dominique, q neatly built
Mexican with swapping black eyes, a
manner of pleasant suavity and an
e~ver-ready smile that displayed a dou-
Bile row Of shining white teeth. That
smile did not for an instant deceive
Luck. He knew that Jose had no
grudge against him, that he was q very
respectable citizen, and that he would

accession called for so drastic a ter
mination TO their acquaintance. For
