The board met pursuant to adjourn
ment p N. Lair presiding and all
members present.
The County board decided to adVer-
tise for bids for the furnishing of

seconded the County Auditor was di-
rected to advertise for such bids &C
cording to law.
On motion, duly seconded. the follow
ing resolution was unanimously adopt
ed by the board, to-wit:
Whereas, One of the important mat
tiers before the Mimi. Legislature is
the proposition to issue \$10,OOO,O OO.O 90
Bonds>in 1928 and like sum in 1924,
the proceeds of which are to be used
in building permanent roads on the
Trunk Highway System, where the
traffic is so heavy as to make it i'm
possible to maintain good roads or
dirt construction, and where the at
tempt at maintenance is much larger
than the interest of said bonds, the
principal and interest of such bonds to
be paid from the License fees for MO-
tor Vehicles, without increasing suehi
fees and not a cent of direct taxes:
And whereas, the refusal of LegiSla-
tive sanction will retard the paving
of the most used highways for or 5
years at great economical waste to
the Trunk Highway Fund, and to the
General Detriment of the whole State,
Be it resolved, that the board of

posed by Com. c. M. Babcock and re-
spectfully urges the Senators and Rep

Madeline wonderingly watched him go
down the path with his hand on the
black horses neck.
She went in to rest a little before
dressing for dinner and. being fatigued
from the days riding and excitement,
she fell asleep. When she awoke 1t
was twilight. She wondered why her
Mexican maid had not come to her,
and she rang the bell. The maid did
not put in an appearance, nor was
there any answer to the ring. The
house seemed unusually quiet. 1t was
a brooding silence, which presently
broke to the sound of footsteps on the
porch. Madeline recognized Stillwell's
tread, though it appeared to be light
for him. Then she heard him call
softly In at the open door of her Of
fee. The suggestion Of caution in his
voice suited the strangeness of his
walk. With a boding sense of trouble
she hurried through the rooms. He
was standing outside her office door.
"Stillwell" !" she exclaimed.
"Please come out on the porch"
She complied and, once out, was en-
abled to see him. His grave face, paler
than she had ever behed 1t, caused
her to stretch an appealing hand to-
ward him. Stillwell intercepted it and
held 1t in his own.
Miss Majesty, I'm amazin' sorry to
tell worrisome news. But 1t can't be
avoided The fact Is we're in bad

discovered he was trailing bandits who
might turn out to be smuggling guer-

servants, finding a bunch Of horses
hidden down in the mesquite behind

my mind. My idea is that a cowardly
handful Of riffraff outcasts from the
border have hidden in your house,
more by accident than design. Well
let them go-get rid Of them without
even shot. If didn't think so-well,
I'd be considerably worried. It would

One long step brought him close to
her.
"Who was her" demanded Stewart.

He muttered low and deep, then
said, "Are you sureY'
Absolutely. I saw his figure twice
in the hall, then his face in the light.
1 could never mistake his eyes,"
Madeline was tremblingly conscious
that Stewart underwent transforma-
tion. She saw as well as felt the leap
ing passion that changed him.
"Call your friends-get them In
here!' he ordered, tersely, and wheeled
toward the door.
Stewart, waltz" she said.
He turned. His white face, his burn
Ing eyes, his presence now charged
with definite, fearful meaning, inf1u-
enced her strangely, weakened her.
"What will you do?" she asked.
"That needn't concern you. Get your
party in here. Bar the windows and

II won't tell you," he replied, and
turned away again.
"But will know" she said With a
hand on his arm she detained him. She
saw how he halted-felt the shock in
him as she touched him. "Oh, I do
know. You mean to fight !"
"Well, Miss Hammond, isn't 1t about
timeT he asked. There was weari-
ness, dignity, even reproof in his ques-
tion. "The fact Of that Mexican's pres
ence here in your house ought to prove
to you the nature Of the case. These
vaqueros, these guerrillas have found
out you won't stand for any fighting
on the part Of your men. Don Carlos
is a sneak, a coward, yet he's not
afraid to hide in your own house. He
has learned you won't let your cow
boys hurt anybody. He's taking ad-

make off with you. He'll murder, too.
