adobe and mostly crumbling to ruin.
Only one green spot relieved the bald
red of grounds and walls and this evil
IDENTIFY was made by the spring which
had given both value and fame to Don
Carlos range. The approach to the
house was through a wide courtyard,
bare, stony, hard packed, with hitch
ing-rails and watering-troughsi in front
of q long porch. Several dusty, tired
horses stood with dropping heads and
brides down, their wet fianks attesting
to travel just ended
"Wal, dog-gone 1t, AL If there amt
Pat Hawes boss I'll eat It," exclaimed
Stillwell.
"What's Pat want here. anyhow ?"
growled Alfred.
No one was in sight; but Madeline
heard loud voices coming from the
house. Stillwell dismOunted at the
porch and stalked in at the door. AL
fred leaped off his horse, helped Flor
ence and Madeline down, and, bidding
them rest and wait on the porch, he
followed Stillwell.
From the corridor came the rattling
of spurs, tramping Of boots, and loud
voices. Madeline detected Alfred's
quick notes when he was annoyed:
"We'll rustic back home, then," he
said. The answer came, "Now Made
line recognized Stewards voice, and
she quickly Strengthened up. 81 won't
have them in here" went on Alfred.
"Outdoors or in, they've got to be
with us!' replied Stewart, sharply.
Listen, AL" came the boom Of Still
wells big voice, ''now that we've but
ted in over hyar with the girls, you let
Stewart run things"
Then crowd of men tramped pell-
nell out upon the porch. Stewart,
dark-browed and somber, was In the
lead. Nels hung close to him, and
Madeline's quick glance saw that Nels
had undergone indescribable change.
The grinning brilliant-eyed Don Car
los came jostling out beside giant,
sharp-featured man wearing a silver
shield This, no doubt, was Pat Have.
In the background behind Stillwell and
Alfred stood Nick Steele, head and
shoulders over a number Of vaqueros
and cowboys.
Miss Hammond, I'm sorry you
came" said Stewart, bluntly. "We're
in a muddle here I've insisted that
you and Flo be kept close to us. I'll
explain later. If you can't stop your
ears beg you to overlook rough talk"
With that he turned to the men be-
hind him: mick, take Body, go back
to Monty and the boys. Fetch out that
stuff. All of It, Rustic, nowl"
Stillwell and Alfred disengaged
themselves from the crowd to take up
positions in front of Madeline and
Florence. Pat Have leaned against a
post and insOlently ogled Madeline and
then Florence. Don Carlos pressed
forward. His swarthy face showed
dark lines, like cords, under the sur
face. His little eyes were exceedingly
prominent and glittering. To Made
line his face seemed to be bold, hand
some mask through which his eyes
piercingly betrayed the evil nature of
the man.
He bowed low with elaborate and
sinuous grace. His smile revealed bril-

WELL" said Alfred "Majesty, wIlat-
ever actuated you, it was stroke Of
diplomacy. Stewart has got good stuff
in him. He was down and out. Well,
he's made game fight, and it looks as
If he'd win. Trusting him, giving him
responsibility, relying upon him, was
the surest way to strengthen his hold
upon himself. But, Majesty, remem-
Der, he's a composite Of tiger breed
and forked lightning, and don't imag-
Inc he has failed you if he gets into
fight"

line.
mo, l don't exactly mind we've got
the fastest horses In this country; but
I've no hankering for situation Gene
Stewart thinks"
Florence began disconnectedly, and
she ended evasively. Madeline did not
press the point, although she had some
sense of misgiving. Stillwell tramped
in, shaking the floor with his huge
boots; Alfred followed him, carrying a
field-glass.

Stillwell. "Somethin' wrong over Don

Both men hurried out, and while the
horses were being brought up and sad
died Madeline and Florence put away
the breakfast dishes, then speedily
donned spurs, sombreros and gaunt-
let's.
Here are the horses ready" called
IL
Is prince"
The girls went out In time to hear
Stillwell's good-by as he mounted and
spurred away. Alfred went through
the motions Of assisting Madeline and
Florence to mount, which assistance
they always flouted, and then he, too,
swung up astride.
II guess it's all right" he said,
rather dubiously. "You really must
not go over toward Don Carlos. It's
only few miles home"
"Sure It's all right. We can ride,
can't WEI" retorted Florence. II de-
clare he and AL were sure ratified"
Florence dismounted and went into
the house. She left the door open.
Madeline had some difficulty in hold
ing Majesty. 1t struck Madeline that
Florence stayed rather long indoors.
Presently she came out with sober face
and rather tight lips.
II couldn't get anybody on the
phone. No answer. I tried a dozen
times"

while Florence and the two men got
supper During the meal 1t was not
lost upon Madeline that Florence ap-
peared unusually quiet and thoughtful
Madeline wondered q little at the
cause. She remembered that Stewart
had wanted to come with them, or de-
tail few cowboys to accompany them,
but Alfred had laughed at the idea
and would have none of 1t.
After supper Alfred monopolized the
conversation by describing what he
wanted to do to improve his home be-
fore he and Florence were married.
Then at an early hour they all re-
tired
Madeline's deep slumbers were dis
turbed by a pounding upon the wall,
and then by Florence's crying out In
answer to a call.
"Get up! Throw some clothes on
and come out!'
1t was Alfred's voice.
whats the matter?" asked Flor
ence, as she slipped out Of bed.
"Alfred, is there anything wrong?"
added Madeline, sitting up.
The room was dark as pitch, but
faint glow seemed to mark the posi-
tion of the window.
ooh, nothing much," replied Alfred.
"Only Don Carlos rancho going up in
smoke"
Fire - cried Florence, sharply.
you'll think so when you see it.
Hurry out"
Florence helped Madeline to dress.
Then they hurriedly stumbled over
chairs, and, passing through the dining
room, went out upon the porch.
Away to the westward, low down
along the horizon, she saw leaping rcd
flames and wind-swept columns Of
smoke
Stillwell appeared greatly per-
turbed
"Al, I'm lookin' fer that ammunition
to blow up," he said. There was
enough of it to blow the roof off the
rancho"
"Bill, surely the cowboys would get
that stuff out the first thing" replied
Alfred, anxiously.
II reckon so. But all the same, I'm
worryin'. Mebbe there wasn't time.
Supposin' thet powder went off as the
| boys was goin' fer it or carryin' 1t out
Well know soon. If the explosion
doesn't come quick now we can f1gger
the boys got the boxes out"
For the next few moments there was
silence of sustained and painful suS-
pense. Florence gripped Madeline's
arm Madeline felt a fullness in her
| throat and a rapid beating Of her
| heart. Presently she was relieved with
| the others when Stillwell declared the
| danger of an explosion needed to be
| feared no longer.
"Sure you can gamble on Gene Stew
art" he added. "Therel She's smol-
derin' down now. Reckon we-all might
jest as well turn in again. It's only
three O'clock"
Madeline awakened early, but not so
early as the others, who were up and
| had breakfast ready when she went
into the dining room. Stillwell was
not in an amiable frame Of mind. The
burrows of worry lined his broad brow
and he continually glanced at his
watch, and growled because the cow
| boys were SO late in riding over with
the news. He gulped his breakfast,
and while Madeline and the others ate
theirs he tramped up and down the
| porch. Madeline noted that Alfred
grew nervous and restless. Presently
he left the table to join Stillwell out,
side.

 Coach Bernier has devoted much of his time to his pitching staff. and as a result has developed a group of pitchers that have shown world g of stuff in the opening games. Me Milan let the strong Illinois nine came through in the Howard game with one marker against him. These two men will most probably be called upon for duty against the Wis cons.n outfit Wednesday and Thurs day.

Dan had long talk with the com missioners. He explained that this was to be our twentieth meeting in the | ring and it could be made the best | bout anyone would want to see if Lewis could be forced to give me a chance and not hold and run away l for 20 rounds. He went into the | finest details, explaining and illus trating how Lewis ran away in the ring and how he held with both arms under the shoulder blades when he was caught.
 We want a referee who will make them fight, gentlemen. a ref cree who wil enforce the rules against holding. That will make a real bout and 1t will be even better with five-ounce gloves" Dan said Morgan's suggestions were carried out. we learned when we arrived in Canton. Matt Hinlle, one of the best lected as the referee and both of us agreed to him without a question. No Sailing.
 The commission held a meeting with all the principals and an nounced that the bout had to be se- riously conducted and that no hold ing and stalling would be permitted. Morgan suggested that 1t would not give the fans run for their money
  for holding and that the referee could stop 1t easily by skipping down the gloves of the offender. Some of the discussions we had be- came public
 Before I went into the ring for the fight, Dan and l talked it over and we agreed that I. having only one way of winning. had to go in and punch all the time. I decided to get a knockout or get knocked out. be- cause knew we would never get chance to win by decision.
 Lewis started running in the first round. but I got a left hook over to the jaw and staggered him. He came In and clinched and the crowd yelled for break. The referee stepped behind me and slapped Ted's hands down. Ted didn't like it and be came greatly peeved.
 We went along with Lewis running to cover as much as possible and try ing to get Inside to clinch Every time he would come in the commits sioners would yell from the ringside and the spectators would shout from the house:
 GETS KID GOAT
 Break em."
 In close once, I said to Lewis:
 "Goure going to get thrown out for holding. Why don't you give em fight?"
 It made the Kid frantic.
 I kept pumping away at him with stiff left hand hooks and jabs and when l went back to the corner after the second round, Dan said:
 You got the Kid dizzy with those left hooks. He's getting ready for right"
 Twice in the third round stag gered him with lefts to the jaw. He had to stand up and take them be- cause he didn't know how to get out of the way. and the house kept yell ing Break" everytime he tried to get in close.
 Dan insisted after the third round that I start using right hands on him, but I didn't think it was time yet. I knew I had him going and that he couldn't last 20 rounds. l wanted to wear him down until l was sure that ho was ready for a couple of good right-hand jabs.
