CHAPTER XII
A Band of GuerrilIas.

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. It 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 a
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

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,
Miss Madeline Hammond He wouldn't
ambush a trail for any one else. He
wants you for some reason. So Gene
thought, and now believe him. Well,
We'll know for sure in five minutes.

Well slip around through the brush.
out Of sight and sound, till we can
break out into the open. Then we'll
split. You make straight for the ranch.
I'll cut loose for the valley where Gene
said positively the cowboys were with
the cattle. The vaqueros will take
me for you. They'll chase me. They'll
never get anywhere near me. And
you'll be on a fast horse. He can take
you home ahead of any vaqueros But
you won't be chased. I'm stalking all
on that. Trust me- Madeline. If 1t
were only my calculation, maybe I'd
It's because I remember Stewart.
That cowboy knows things. Come,
this heah's the safest and smartest
way to fool Don Carlos" Madeline
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 a
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
a few miles off, and the cattle dotting
the valley. She had not lost her cour-
age, but it was certain that these ia
miliar sights somewhat lightened the
pressure upon her breast. Excitement
gripped 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 a quick, bright glance.
"All over but the ride! Thatll sure
BE easy. Bolt now and keep your
nerve!"
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
light. Then hoarse shouts unclamped
Madeline's power Of movement, and
she spurred the black into the open.
He wanted to run and he was swift.
Madeline loosened the reins-laid them
loose upon his neck. His action was
strange to her. He was hard to ride.
But he was fast, and she cared for
nothing else. She was running away
from something; what that was she
did not know. But she remembered
Florence, and she wanted to look back.

MAY NOT HOLD A FAIR

The directors of the fair have not
made any definite arrangements fol-
1923 fair, and seem to be in doubt
as to whether the commissioners will
authorize holding a fair.
There has been some discussion
among the people as to who should
be the next secretary Of the fair
and who should not, and the indica-
lions are that the fair board share
the popular doubts as to who it
should be, and the latest gossip has
it that the commissioners have not
the money and the people and the
fair board have not the decision as
to secretary and that perhaps the
easiest way to decide it is to forget
the whole project.
The county commissioners will be
in session on the second Monday in
May, and we hope to be able to an
nounce some decision arrived at dur
ing that week.
1t seems definitely decided that
the Boise fair will be allowed to
lapse this year, and Twin Falls is
working overtime to make theirs the
big fair of Idaho. 1t has rated a
close second to Blaekfoot in recent
years.
