toward the door.
Stewart, wait! ~ she said.
He turned. His white face, his burn

with definite, fearful meaning, influ-
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
lock the doors. You'll be SAFE"
Stewart! Tell me what you intend
to do"

turned away again.
"But I will know" she said. With a
hand on his arm she detained him. She

him as she touched him. ooh, do

out you won't stand for any fighting

is a sneak, a coward, yet he's not

CHAPTER XIV
The Mountain Trail.

AS Stewart departed from one door
Florence knocked upon another; and
Madeline, far shaken out Of her usual
serenity, admitted the cool western
girl with more than gladness. Just to
have her near helped Madeline to get
back her balance. She was conscious
of Florence's sharp scrutiny, then Of
sweet, deliberate change Of manner
Florence might have been burning
with curiosity to know more about the
bandits hidden in the house, the plans
of the cowboys, the reason for Made
lines suppressed emotion; but instead
of asking Madeline questions she in
troduced the important subject Of
what to take on the camping trip. For
an hour they discussed the need Of
this and that article, selected those
things most needful, and then packed
them in Madeline's duffle-bags.
That done, they decided to lie down,
fully dressed as they were in riding
costume, and sleep, or at least rest,
the little remaining time left before
the call to saddle. Madeline turned
out the light and, peeping through her
window, saw dark forms standing SEN
tinel-like in the gloom. When she lay
down she heard soft steps on the path.
This fidelity to her swelled her heart,
while the need Of 1t presaged that
fearful something which, since Stew
arts passionate appeal to her, haunt
ed her as inevitable.
Madeline did not expect to sleep,
yet she did sleep, and 1t seemed to
have been only a moment until Flor
ence called her. She followed Florence
outside. She could discern saddled
horses being held by cowboys. There
was an air of hurry and mystery about
the departure. Helen, who came tip
toeing out with Madeline's other
guests, whispered that it was like an
escape She was delighted. The others
were amused. To Madeline 1t was in
deed an escape. She heard low voices,
the champing of bits and humping Of
hoOfs, and she recognized Stewart
when he led up Majesty for her to
mount. Then came pattering Of soft
feet and the whining Of dogs Cold
noses touched her hands, and she saw
the long, gray, shaggy shapes Of her
pack Of Russian wOlf-hounds. That
Stewart meant to let them go with her
was indicative of how he studied her
pleasure. She loved to be out with
the hounds and her horse.

| your reason she replied. "Still, l
may offer it again some day. Good
night"
He said goodnight and turned.
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 it
| 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. It was
brooding silence, which presently
broke to the sound Of footsteps on the
porch. Madeline recognized Stillwells
tread, though it appeared to be light
for him. Then she heard him call
| softly In at the open door Of her Of
flee. The suggestion Of caution In his
voice suited the strangeness of his
walk. With 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 beheld it, caused
her to stretch an appealing hand to-
ward him. Stillwell intercepted it and
held it in his own.
Miss Majesty, I'm amazin' sorry to
tell worrisome news. But it can't be
avoided. The fact is we're in a bad
fix. If your guests amt scared out
of their skins it'll be OWN to your
nerve an how you carry out Stewards
orders"
"You can rely upon me-" replied
Madeline, firmly, though she trembled.
'Wal. what we're UP against is this:
that gang of bandits Pat Have was
chasin'-they're hidin' in the housew
"In the house?" echoed Madeline,
aghast.
Miss Majesty, it's the amazin' truth,
an shamed indeed am I to admit it.

it couldn't hev happened if I hedn't

an if Stewart hedn't rid out on the
mesa after US. It's my fault. But now
we've got to face ito f1gger. Now,
listen. When Stewart left you an hour
or so ago he follered me direct to
where me an the boys was tryin' to

to pieces. At that we was helpin' Pat
all we could to find them bandits. But
when Stewart got there he made a diff

red to a Greaser bull. Anyway, when
the sheriff set fire to an old adobe hut

Pat Have he'd six fellers with him, an
from all appearances bandit-huntin'
was some fiesta. There was a row, an
it looked bad fer a little. But Gene
was cool, an he controlled the boys.
Then Pat an his tough de-poOties went
on huntin' That huntin', Miss Majesty,
petered out into what was only farce.

LABOR SHORTAGE is THE
PREDICTION FOR THE WEST

Denver.-Industrial and employment
conditions in Colorado and adjacent
mountain states continue on an in
creasingly steady and prosperous
basis, according to the report of con-
ditions made by Ounce Record, direc-
tor of the United States employment
service of the Department of Labor
for this district. Record reports that
this is especially noticeable in metal
mining, agriculture and manufacturing
and building, being manifested by a
shortage of labor in these branches.
Compared with the report Of the
United States as a whole, issued in
Washington, the mountain district is
seeking labor, while throughout the
country at large small decrease in
employment has taken place.
In Colorado, due to increased acre
age in agricultural crops and vegeta-
bles, and sufficient moisture, there is
an exceptionally strong demand for ag-
ricultural workers, with a shortage Of
several hundred field workers The
WACdI AuL NSoLs AOW dL uduu, Will AS-
quire many more additional farm
hands. Increased activity in sugar
beet cultivation over 1922 has necessi-
tated importation of several thousand
beet workers into the state to care for
the crop. Metal mining, with the ex-
ceptiOn of silver, and development
work in conjunction is on the upgrade,
resultant in a demand for experienced
workers which is not being met.
Coal mining, however, due to low
seasonal demands, continues on a part
time basis, with the majority Of the
mines operating on only a part-time
basis.
Nearly all industrial plants con-
tinue capacity operations, particularly
those manufacturing mining and smelt-
ing machinery, building materials, steel
products and car equipment. Expert
enced mechanics are needed at these
points.
In New Mexico Industrial employ
ment is slightly increased and steady,
particularly noticed in agricultural
pursuits"
Twenty-six federal and state road
construction projects and many mu-
nicipal improvement programs raise a
demand for workers, also, the report
declares.

The single word, with all it might
mean, with all it might not mean,
softened him as If by magic, made him
gentle, amazed, shy as boy, sitting
under a torrent Of emotions.
Madeline thought she had persuaded
him-worked her will with him. Then
another of his startlingly sudden
moves told her that she had reckoned
too quickly. This move was to put
her firmly aside so he could pass; and
Madeline, seeing he would not hesi-
