test. In general their observation is
that they never knew what easy

THE SPEED FIEND

The speed Gend sails along the
road, without a thought OF trouble;
his eyes. as dreamy as a toad, gaze
out on field and stubble. No thought
has he for other folk that might en-
joy to travel; he just sits there and
let's her smoke as he burns up the
gravel The folks he takes out for
spin hang on in fear and quaking,
and humble through a sickly grin,
they like the speed he's making.
But when they get back-if they
do-they say: THAT guys some
pigeon; no more of that for US
we're through" and then they get
religion. The highways only wide
enough to commodate his fiiyyer;
he makes all others take to bluff or
jump off in the river. OF safety
first" he's never heard nor does he
care a trife; he flies along just like
a bird that tries TO beat rife. From
early spring to autumn late he holds
his reputation, but finally he meets
his fate and gets a long vacation.
Such guys that think it is good sport
to spurn Dame Chance with laugh
ter. at last get berth by rule of court
or face the grim hereafter.

less, dangling YaQul.
Gale kept pace with his horse He
bore the twinge OF pain that darted
through his injured hip at every stride
In the heat of midday he halted In the
shade of rock, and, lifting the Yaqul
down, gave him a drink. Then, after
a long, sweeping survey of the sur
rounding desert, he removed SOILS sad
die and let him roll, and took for him
self a welcome rest and bite to eat.
The Yaqui was tenacious Of life
He was still holding his own. For the
first time Gale really looked at the
Indian to study him. He had large
head nobly cast and face that re-
sembled a shrunken mask. 1t seemed
chiseled I'm the dark-eyed, volcanic
lava of his Sonora wilderness. The
Indians eyes were always black and
mystic, but this Yaqui's encompassed
all the tragic desolation Of the desert.
They were fixed on Gale, moved only
when he moved.
Gale resumed his homeward jour
ney. He held grlmly by the side Of
the tireless, implacable horse, hold
ing the Yaqui on the saddle, taking
the brunt of the merciless thorns In
the end it became heartrending toll.
His heavy chaps dragged him down {;
but he dared not go on without them
for, thick and stiff as they were, the
terrible, steel-bayoneted spikes Of the
choyas pierced through to sting his
legs.
To the last mile Gale held TO Blaneo
Soils gait and kept ever-watchful gaze
ahead on the trail. Then, with the
low. fat houses of Forlorn River shin
ing red in the sunset, Gale tagged and
rapidly weakened. The Yaqui slipped
out Of the saddle and dropped limp in
the sand. Gale could not mount his
horse He clutched Sors long tall and
twisted his hand in It and stag
gered on.
Blanco Sol whlstled a piercing blast.
He scented cool water and sweet al
falfa hay. TwlnkIing lights ahead
meant rest. The melancholy desert
twilight rapidly succeeded the sunset.
II accentuated the forlorn loneliness
Of the gray, winding river Of sand and
its grayer shores. Night shadows
trooped down from the black and
looming mountains.
