SPARED of ever rising to the dignity
of possessing a gun of his own.
CHAPTER XVIII.
Master and Cow-Puncher
A broad grin spread over the face
of the Big Boss wheE dare told
him of Bodine's injunct; Kildare
wondered just what amused him so
much.
Morrow hailed Blaze as he came
out. Tomorrow was the Fourth Of
July.

Kildare shook his head. A dance,
in his present frame Of mind. held no
lure for him.
BY supper time the specter Of Be-
dine had become so menacing that
Blaze decided to ride down to the
Rancho. He waited until the boys
lad left and then silently followed
them.
Dawn had found him lying sleepy
eyed on the little mesa that rose back
Of the hacienda. He had had his
vigil for nothing. 1t was after seven
when he rode by the Rancho.
He saw a table set with white
napery, thin glasses, heavy silver. and
delicate, cream colored porcelain.
Daintiness, cleanliness, ancestry all
spoke there.
My Man whinnied. Basilio heard
him and jumped down from the wide
portico.

Mercedes came out OF the house at
that moment. Blaze greeted her with
a CHEEKY Good morning"

Mariana came out with the coffee.
Mercedes turned TO him.

she ordered. "He has a long way to

"Senor Kildare thanks you for car
ing for his revolver" she began. 'Iie
wishes you to return H."
The old man lifted a mournful
face to her az he pulled the revolver
from his pocket.
He put the gun on the table.
Basilio had caught the seriousness
OF the conversation. II kept him
silent. though several times he tugged
at his sisters skirts as n to catch
her attention. Mercedes was no en-

Mercedes flashed quick glance
from Acklin to Blaze, who held his
position near the table. His face
was emotionless. Had he known the
rancher was coming? Only by the

she acknowledge the cattle-man's
greeting.

that her words carried was beyond
him.
Better drift to the Bulls Head"
he said to Blaze.
1t was lightly purred, but carried
with it the dismissal of the man on
the veranda.
Acklin followed him to where My
Man stood. Kildare's stock had
taken a decided drop In his mental
ledger.
What kept you down here?" he
asked when they were out Of hearing
of the girl on the veranda.
Kildare's imagination was equal to
the occasion.

went out" he drawled. II ran into
Bodine and six or seven Of his men.
