CHAPTER VI
The Yauul.


Toward evening of lowering De
cember day, some fifty miles west of
Forlorn River, horseman rode along
an old, dImly defined trail.
This lonely horseman bestrode q
steed of magnificent build. perfectly
white except for a dark bar Of color
running down the noble head from
ears to nose. Sweat-caked dust
stained the long fianks. The horse
had been running. He was lean,
gaunt. worn. huge machine Of muscle
and bone. beautiful only in head and
name. a weight-carrier. a horse strong
and fierce like the desert that had
bred him.
The rider. fitted the horse as he fit-
ted the saddle. He was young man
Of exceedingly powerful physique.
wide-shouldered, long-armed, big
legged. His lean face. where 1t was
not red, blistered and peeling, was the
hue Of bronze. He had dark eye. q
falcon gaze, rowing and keen. His
Jaw was prominent and set. mastif
like his lips were stern. 1t was youth
with its softness not yet quite burned
whole cast of his face from being
ruthless.
This > young man was Dick Gale. but
not the listless traveller, nor the lOung-
Ing wanderer who, two months before.
had by chance dropped into Casita.
The desert had claimed Gale. and had
drawn him into its crucible. The
desert had multiplied weeks into
years. Heat, thirst. hunger. loneli-
ness. toll, fear. ferocity. pain-he
knew them ALL He had felt them all
the white sun. with its glazed, coaies-
cling. lurid fire; the caked split lips
and rasping, dry-puffed tongue; the
sicltenine ache In the pit of his stom-
ache; the insupportable silence. the
empty space. the utter desolation, the
contempt Of life; the watch and wait,
the dread of ambush. the swift flight
the fierce pursuit of men wild as
Bedouins and as fleet, the willingness
to deal sudden death, the pain Of
poison thorn, the stinging tear of lead
through flesh; and that strange para
dox of the burning desert. the cold at
night. the piercing Icy wind. the dew
that penetrated to the marrow. the
numbing desert cold OF the dawn.
Ladd's prophecy OF trouble on the
border had been mild compared to
what had become the actuality. With
rebel occupancy Of the garrison at
Casita, outlaws, bandits, raiders in
rioting bands had spread westward
Many a dark-skinned raider bestrode
one Of Belongs fast horses; and, In
deed. all except his selected white
thoroughbreds had been stolen. So
the job Of the rangers had become
more than a patrolling Of the bound
ary line to keep Japanese and Chinese
from being smuggled into the United
States.
On this December afternoon the
three rangers, as often. were separ-
ated. Lash was far to the westward
Of Sonoyta, somewhere along Canine
del Diablo, that terrible DEVILS road,
where many desert wayfarers had per-
ished. Ladd had long been overdue
In a prearranged meeting with Gale.
The fact that Ladd had not shown up
miles west Of the Papago well was
significant.
Gale tismounted to lead his horse,
to go forward more slowly. He had
ridden sixty miles since morning. and
he was tired. and not entirely healed
wound In his hip made one leg drag

down upon the PROSTATE Indian. Even
In the act the intelligent animal tried
to keep from striking the body with
his hoofs. But that was not possible
A yell, hideous in Its passion. signaled
this feat Of horsemanship.
The Mexican made no move to tram

turned the black to ride again over
the other Indian. Gale was Mortified
to see the Yaqui writhe and raise a
feeble hand The action brought re

Mexicans The horse snorted in terror.
Gale could bear no more. He took
quick shot at the rider. He missed
the moving figure, but hit the horse
There was a bound, horrid scream
Il mighty plunge. then the horse went
down. giving the Mexican a stunning
fall Both beast and man lay still.
Gale rushed from his cover to in

could reach the house and their weap

Then he yelled 1t IN Spanish. At the
point Of his rifle he drove the two
raiders out of the camp. His next
move was to run into the house and
fetch out the carbines. With heavy
stone he dismantled each weapon
That done, he set out on run for
his horse. Blanco Sol heard him com
Ing and whistled a welcome. and when
Gale ran up the horse was snortine

to the scene of the action. and his

well. was to give Sol drink and to
All his canteens
Then Gale led his horse up out of
the waterhole. and decided before re-
mounting to have a look mt the In

and his words were positive. He was
simply speaking aloud his mind.
"Yaqui-no hurt = much," replied
the Indian. and then he spoke
strange word-repeated It again and
again.
An instinct Of Gales, or perhaps
some suggestion in the husky, thick
whisper or dark face. told Gale to
reach for his canteen. He lifted the
Indian and gave him drink. and II

In human eyes he saw 1t then. Then

More Light Needed

1t was a sleepy village and its fire
company was anything but up to date.
One night fire was announced by
the violent ringing of the alarm bell,
and the sleepy fire fighters arrived at
the scene of action to find the build
ing wrapped in curling black smoke
No flames were visible from the out
side.
The captain of the company made
a careful survey and then calmly lit
his pipe.
