Hammond, Madeline's brother,
takes Stewart to task. Madeline
exonerates him of any wrong in

CHAPTER XI
A Band Of GuerriIIas.

Madeline bolted the door, and, flying
into the kitchen, she told the scared
servants to shut themselves In. Then
she ran to her own rooms. 1t was only
a matter of few moments for her to
close and bar the heavy shutters, yet
even as she was fastening the last one
in the room she used as an Office q
Gathering roar Of hoofs seemed to
swell up to the front Of the house. She
caught a glimpse of wild, shaggy
horses and ragged, dusty men. She
had never seen any vaqueros that re-
sembled these horsemen. VaQueros
had grace and style; they were fond
of lace and glitter and fringe; they
dressed their horses in silvered trap
pings. But the riders now trampling
into the driveway were uncOuth, lean,
savage. They were guerrillas, band
Of the raiders who had been harassing
the border since the beginning Of the
revolution. A second glimpse assured
Madeline that they were not all Mex
leans.
The presence of outlaws In that
band brought home to Madeline her
real danger She remembered what
Stillwell had told her about recent out
law raids along the Rio Grande. These
flying bands, operating under the ex-
citement of the revolution, appeared
here and there, everywhere, in remote
places, and were gone as quickly as
they came. Mostly they wanted mon
cy and arms, but they would steal any,
thing, and unprotected women had suf.
fered at their hands.
Madeline, hurriedly collecting her
securities and the considerable money
she had in her desk, ran out, closed
and locked the door, crossed the patio
to the opposite side of the house, and,
entering again, went down long cor
ridor trying to decide which of the
many unused rooms would be best to
hide in. And before she made up her
mind she came to the last room. Just
then battering on door or window In
the direction of the kitchen and shrill
Screams from the servant women In

from something: what that was she

from something; what that was she
did not know But she remembered
Florence, and she wanted to look back.
yet hated to do so for fear of the
nameless danger Florence had men,
toned.
Madeline listened for the pounding
of pursuing hoofs in her rear. Invol.
UNFAIRLY she glanced back. On the
mile or more Of gray level between
her and the ridge there was not a
horse, a man, or anything living. She
wheeled to look back on the othas
side, down the valley slope.
The sight of Florence riding Majesty
In zigzag flight before whole troop Of
vaqueros blanched Madeline's cheek
and made her grip the pommel Of her
saddle in terror. That strange gait
of her roam was not his wonderful
stride. Could Majesty be running
wild? It flashed over Madeline that
Florence was putting the horse to
some such awkward flight as might
have been expected Of an eastern girl
made sure of this when, after looking
again, she saw that Florence, In spite
of the horses breaking gait and the
irregular course, was drawing slowly
and surely down the valley.
Madeline had not lost her head
to the extent of forgetting her swn
mount and the nature of the ground N
front. When, presently, she turned
again to watch Florence, uncertainty
ceased in her mind. The strange fea-
lures Of that race between girl and
vaqueros were no longer in evidence.
Majesty was In his beautiful, wonder
full stride, low down along the ground,
stretching, with his nose level and
straight for the valley. Between him
and the lean horses in pursuit lay an
ever-1ncreasing space. He was running
away from the vaQueros. Florence was
indeed riding the wind" as Stewart
had aptly expressed his idea Of flight
upon the fleet roam.
A dimness came over Madeline's
eyes, and it was not all owing to the
sting of the wind. She rubbed 1t away,
seeing Florence as a flying dot in
strange blur. What daring, intrepid
girl! This kind Of strength-and aye,
splendid thought for weaker sister
was what the West inculcated in q
woman.
The next time Madeline looked back
Florence was far ahead of her pur-
suers and going out of sight behind
low knoll. Assured Of Florence's safe
ty, Madeline put her mind to her own
ride and the possibilities awaiting at
the ranch. She remembered the fail.
boys on the telephone. To be sure,
windstorm had once broken the wire.
But she had little real hope of such
being the case in this instance. She
rode on, pulling the black as she
neared the ranch.
1t was perhaps fortunate for her,
she thought, that the climb up the
slope cut the blacks speed so she could
manage him. He was not very hard
to stop. The moment she dismounted,
however, he jumped and trotted off.
At the edge Of the slope, facing the
corrals, he halted to lift his head and
shoot up his ears. Then he let out
piercing whistle and dashed down the
lane
Madeline, prepared by that warning
whistle, tried to fortify herself for a
new and unexpected situation; but as
she espied an unfamiliar company of
horsemen rapidly riding down hollow
leading from the foothills she felt the
return of fears gripping at her like
cold hands, and she fled precipitously
into the house.

violence in the swift action whereby
Florence compelled Madeline to the
change Of apparel.
'It'd been my idea, anyhow, If
Stewart hadn't told me to do It," said
Florence, her words as swift as her
hands. don Carlos Is after you-you,

felt herself more forced than per-
suaded into acQuiescence. She mounted
the black and took up the bride. In
another moment she was guiding her
horse off the trail in the tracks Of
Majesty. Florence led off at right an
giles, threading a slow passage through
the mesquite. She favored sandy
patches and open aisles between the
trees and was careful not to break Il
branch. Often she stopped to listen.
This detour Of perhaps half a mile
brought Madeline to where she could
see open ground, the ranch-house only
few miles off, and the cattle dotting
the valley. She had not lost her cour-
age, but 1t was certain that these fa-
miliar sights somewhat lightened the
pressure upon her breast. Excitement
grpped her. The shrill whistle of
horse made both the black and Majesty
jump. Florence quickened the gait
down the slope Soon Madeline saw
the edge of the brush the gray-bleached
grass and level ground
Florence waited at the opening be-
tween the low trees. She gave Made
line quick, bright glance.
"All over but the rideI ThatIl sure

When Florence wheeled the fiery
roam and screamed in his ear Madeline
seemed suddenly to grow lax and help
less. The big horse leaped into thun-
dering action. FlOrence's hair streamed
on the wind and shone gold in the sun

Why was the stymie restored aft
er its abolition for more than
year?
The stymie was restored because
it was regarded as a mistake for
the United States to play style
Of golf that differed from the
rules that governed the game
where it was founded. The opinion
of those who favored a restoration
of the stymie was that it represents
part of the science of the game,
and that it would be a grave err
ror to develop style that differed
with the game as played abroad.
How many times has Miss Alexa
Stirling won the national champion
ship?
Miss Alexa Stirling is thrice ma
tional champion. She won such
honors in 1916, 1919 and 1920. In
1917 and 1918, because of the war,
the event to decide the national
champion was not staged. In 1921
Miss Stirling was defeated in the
finals by Marional Hollins, 5 and
4.
In stroke competition, Smith
played two shots and then was un-
able to find his ball. He dropped
another ball, played two strokes
and then found his original ball.
Five minutes was spent in search
ing for the first ball, it then being
regarded as lost. Has Smith the
right to play the original ball with
out suffering a penalty?
After searching for five minutes
and being unable to find the first
ball, the second ball came into play
the moment Smith made a stroke
with it. 1t is never permissible to
have two balls in play. Hence
when Smith played his first stroke
with the second ball it came into
play, and continued in play, re-
| CARELESS of the fact that the first
ball was later discovered.
