Business men of Monet, Mo-,
where shops of the Frisco rail
road are located, have exercised a
change of heart since the early
days of the strike of railroad
shopmen, Shortly after the
strike. strikebreakers were "boy-
cotted." Merchants refused to
sell them provisions, they were
denied admittance to boarding
or rooming houses. Hotels closed
their doors to them. A mass
meeting of merchants and bust
ness men was held there last
week and resolutions lifting the
boycott were adopted.

Right out then Nell swope she'd
go after Thorne. IF them cavalrymen
couldn't ride with a western girl to
save brother American-let them
hang back! One fe]1er, under orders,
tried to stop Blanco Sol. An that
feller invited himself to the hospital.
Then the cava1rymen went flynn for
their hosses. It didn't take long for
every man In that camp to get wind
of what was comm off. Shore they
musta been wild. They strung out
after Nell in thunderln' troop.
"Rojas and his men vamoosed with

There wasn't shot fred by anybody.
The cavalrymen soon found Thorne
an hurried with him back on Uncle
Sans land. Thorne was half naked,
black an blue all over, thin as rail.
He was given food an drink. Shore
he seemed starved man. But he
picked up wonderful, an by the time
Jim came along he was wantin' to
start for Forlorn River. So was Nell.
By main strength as much as per
suasion we kept the two men quiet

military uniform.
Gale shouted with joy and ran into
the house to tell the good news. It
was the ver-thoughtful Mrs. Bedding
who prevented him from rushing to
tell Mercedes.
Lash handed down ragged, travel
stained wan girl into Belongs arms.
Dad! Mammal"
It was indeed repentant Nell, but
there was spirit yet in the tired blue
eyes. Then she caught sight Of Gale
and gave him faint smile.
"Hello-Dick.'' =-=
"Nell!" Gale reached for her hand,
held it tightly, and found speech diff
cult.

her toward the door. ooh, Dick

Gale turned to greet his friend In
deed, 1t was but haggard ghost Of
the cavalryman. Thorne looked i'll
or wounded. Gales greeting was also
a question full Of fear.
ThOrne's answer was faint smile.
He seemed ready to drop from the
saddle. Gale helped Ladd hold Thorne
upon the horse until they reached the
house. Bedding came out again. His
welcome was checked as he saw the
condition Of the cavalryman. Thorne
reeled into Dicks arms But he was
able to stand and walk.
"I'm not = hurt. Only weak -

Take me to her."
"SheIl be we'll the minute she sees
him." averred Bedding, as he and Gale
led the cavalryman to Mercedes
room. There they left him; and Gale.
at least, felt his ears ringing with the
girls broken cry of joy.
When Bedding and Gale hurried
forth again the rangers were tending
the tired horses. Upon returning to
the house Jim Lash calmly lit his
pipe, and Ladd declared that, hungry
as he was, he had to tell his story.

Thorne was there, too, an he was
bein' worked over by the camp doc

that. tent. After satisfying myself
that Nell was all right, an Thorne
In no danger, went out.
Shore there was so darn many fel-
lers who wanted to an tried to tell
me what'd come off, thought I'd
never find out. But got the story
piece by piece. An here's what hap
pened:
"Nell rode Blanco Sol a-tearin' into
camp, an had a crowd round her in
fifty. She told who she was, where
she'd come from, an what she wanted.
Well, 1t seemed q day or SO before
Nell got there the cavalrymen had
heard word Of Thorne. You see,
Thorne had left camp on leave Of alb
sence some time before. In few more
days it turned out pretty sure that for
some reason Rojas was holdin' Thorne.
'Now, 1t happened when this news
came Colonel Weede was In Nogales
with his staff, an the officer left In
charge didn't know how to proceed.
Rojas' camp was across the line In
Mexico an rdin' over there was seF1-

No word from George Thorne had
( come to Forlorn River in weeks. Gale
grew concerned over the fact, and
began to wonder If anything serious
y could have happened to him. Mer-
cedes showed a slow, wearing strain.
Thorne's commission expired the
end Of January, and If he could not
get his discharge Immediately, he
\ surely could obtain leave Of absence.
Therefore, Gale waited, not without
growing anxiety. and did his best to
cheer Mercedes. The first Of February

and bandit operations in and around

dozen times Gale declared he
why they did not hear from Thorne !;
however, older and wiser heads pre-
vailed over his impetuosity. Bedding
and the rangers and the Yaqui held a
consultation. Not only had the Indian
+ become faithful servant to Gale, but
ne was also of value to Bedding.
Yaqui had all the craft of his class,
and superior intelligence. His knowl-
. edge of Mexicans was second only to
MS hate of them. And Yaqui, who
had been scouting on all the trails,
gave information that made Belding
decide to wait some days before send
Ing anyone to Casita.
1t was upon Gales coming from this
conference that he encountered Nell.
Since the interrupted siesta episode
she had been more than ordinarily
elusive, and about all he had received
from her was tantalizing smile from
distance. He got the impression
now, however, that she had awaited
him. When he drew close to her he
was certain of it, and he experienced
8 more than surprise.

Then the Yaqui uttered singular
cry. Gale had heard this once before,
and now he remembered 1t was at the
Papago well.
"Look at the Indian" whispered
Belding, hoarsely. ''D-n IL I don't
believe he understood every word Mer-
cedes said. And, gentlemen, don't mis-

and stood beside her as she leaned
against her husband. She seemed Inn

evidently 1t was SO powerful or hyp-

her. But she must have seen or d.
vined what was beyond the others,
for she offered him her trembling
hand. Yaqui took 1t and laid It
against his body in a strange motion,
and bowed his head. Then he stepped
back into the shadow Of the room.
Belding went outdoors while the
rangers took up their former position
at the west window. Each had his
own somber thoughts, Gale imagined,
and knew his own were dark enough.
He saw Bedding halt at the corrals
and wave his hand. Then the rebels
mounted and came briskly up the
road, this time to rein in abreast.

upon the former advance was not
clear; but he certainly was prominent
