Our revenues and expenses are not

through the gate.
When, later in the day, Madeline and
Florence, accompanied by Alfred and
Stillwell, left Don Carlos ranch it was
not any too soon for Madeline. The
inside of the MeXican's home was
more unprepossessing and uncomfort-
able than the outside. The halls were
dark, the rooms huge, empty, and
musty and there was an air Of silence
and secrecy and mystery about them
most fitting to the character Florence
had bestowed upon the place.
On the other hand, Alfred's ranch
house, where the party halted to spend
the night, was picturesquely located,
small and coZy, camplike in the ar
rangement, and altogether agreeable
to Madeline.

parted for Don Carlos rancho. AS the

taking Madeline and Florence with
them, and upon the return to stop at
Alfred's ranch. They started in the

riding, as the sun began to get bright,

The clamor burst into q roar. Have
began shaking his finger In Stewards
face and hoarsely shouting. Then a
1.-the young vaquero, swift as an In
dian, glided under Hawes uplifted
arm. Whatever the action he intended,
he was too late for it's execution.
Stewart lunged out, struck the va
quero, and knocked him off the porch
AS he fell dagger glittered in the
sunlight and rolled clinking over the
stones. The man went down hard and
did not move. With the same abrupt
violence, and a manner OF contempt,
then Don Carlos, who, being less sup
pie, fell heavily. Then the mob backed
before Stewards rush until all were
down In the courtyard
The shuffling of feet ceased, the
clanking Of spurs, and the shouting.
Nels and Monty, now REINFORCED by
Nick Steele, were as shadows Of Stew
art, so closely did they follow him.
Stewart waved them back and stepped
down into the yard. He was absolute
ly fearless; but what struck Madeline
so keenly was his magnificent disdain.
Manifestly. he knew the nature Of the
men with whom he was dealing From
the look of him it was natural for
Madeline to expect them to give way
before him, which they did, even Have
and his attendants sullenly retreating.
Don Carlos got up to confront Stew
art. The PROSTATE vaquero stirred
and moaned, but did not rise.
"You needn't jibber Spanish to me"
said Stewart. "You can talk Ameri-
can, and you can understand Ameri-
can. If you start rough-house here
you and your Greasers will be cleaned
up. You've got to leave this ranch.
You can have the stock, the packs and
traps in the second corral There's
grub, too. Saddle up and hit the trail.
Don Carlos, I'm dealing more than
square with you. You're lying about
these boxes Of guns and cartridges.
You're breaking the laws of my coun.
try, and you're doing it on property In
my charge. If I let smuggling go on
here I'd be implicated myself. Now
you get off the range. If you don't
I'll have the United States cavalry
here in six hours, anl you can gamble
they'll get what my cowboys leave Of
