Stevens drove fast. Then, In taking
an abrupt curve, grasping spear
ruined another tire. This time the car
rasped across the road into the cac-
tus, bursting the second front-wheel
tire. Like demons indeed Link and
Nels worked. Shuddering, Madeline
felt the declining heat Of the sun, saw
with gloomy eyes the shading of the
red light over the desert. She did not
look back to see how near the sun was
to the horizon. She wanted to ask
Nels. Strange as anything on this ter
rible ride was the absence of speech.
AS yet no word had been spoken. Made
line wanted to shrek to Link to hurry.
But he was more than humanity swift
in all his actions. So with mute lips,
with the fire In her beginning to chill,
with lifelessness menacing her spirit,
she watched, hoped against hope,
prayed for long, straight, smooth
road.
Quite suddenly she saw it, seemingly
miles of clear, narrow lane disappear
ing like thin, white streak in distant
green. Perhaps Link Stevens heart
leaped like Madeline's. The huge car
with roar and jerk seemed to an
swer Madeline's call, cry no less
poignant because it was silent.
Faster, faster, faster! The roar be-
came whining hum. Then for Made
line sound ceased to be anything
could not hear. The wind was now
heavy, imponderable, no longer swift,
plastic thing, but solid, like an onrush-
ing wall. It bore down upon Madeline
with such resistless weight that she
could not move. The green of desert
plants along the road merged in two
shapeless fences, sliding at her from
the distance objects ahead began to
blur the white road, to grow streaky,
like rays Of light, the sky to take on
more Of reddening haze.
That was Madelines last clear SEN
sation upon the ride. Blinded, dazed,
she succumbed to the demands upon
her strength. She reeled, fell back,
only vaguely aware Of helping hand.
Confusion seized her senses. All about

she was rushing, rushing, rushing I'M
der the wrathful eye of setting sun.
But at an end Of infinite time that
rush ceased. Madeline lost the queer
feeling Of being disembodied by a
| frightfully swift careening through
boundless distance. She distinguished
voices, low at first, apparently far
away. Then she opened her eyes to
| blurred but conscious sight.
The car had come to stop. Link
was lying face down over the wheel.
Nels was rubbing her hands, calling to
her. She saw house with clean white
washed wall and brown-tiled roof. Be
yond, over dark mountain range,
peeped the last red curve, the last beau
tiful ray Of the setting sun.

ing wave it rushed away. Stewart
lived. He was free. He had stepped
out into the light. She had saved
him. Life changed for her in that in
slant of realization and became sweet.
full, strange.
Stewart shook hands with some one
in the doorway. Then he looked up
and down the road. The door closed
behind him. Leisurely he rolled a
cigarette, stood close to the wall while
he scratched a match. Even at that
distance Madeline's keen eyes caught
the small flame, the first little puff Of
smoke
Stewart then took to the middle of
the road and leisurely began his walk.
Madeline watched him, with pride,
love, pain, glory combating for a mas
terry over her. This walk of his SEEM
ingly took longer than all her hours
of awakening, of strife, of remorse,
longer than the ride to find him. She
felt that it would be impossible for
her to wait till he reached the end Of
the road. Yet in the hurry and riot
Of her feelings she had fleeing panics.
She wanted to run to meet him. New
ertheless, she stood rooted to her
covert behind the window, living that
terrible walk with him to the utter
most thought of home, sister, mother,
sweetheart, wife, life itself-every
thought that could come to a man
stalking to meet his executioners.
With all that tumult in her mind and
heart Madeline still fell prey to the
incomprehensibIe variations Of emotion
possible to woman. Every step
Stewart took thrilled her. She had
some strange, subtle intuition that he
was not unhappy, and that he believed

cool, bright glance thrilled her. "I'll
need mebbe half an hour to go over
the car an to pack on what I'll want"
She could not thank him, and her re-
ply was merely request that he tell
Nels and other cowboys off duty to
come up to the house. When Link had
gone Madeline gave moments
thought to preparations for the ride.
A number of cowboys were waiting.
She explained the situation and left
them in charge of her home With
that she asked Nels to accompany her
down into the desert.
"Why. Miss Majesty, I'm powerful
proud to go. If you're goin' down
among the Greasers you want me-"
Madeline heard the buzz of the car.

CHAPTER XIII
At the End Of tho Road.


Madeline saw that the car was sur
rounded by armed Mexicans. They
presented contrast to the others she
had seen that day; she wondered a
little at their silence, at their respect
full front.
Suddenly a sharp spoken order
opened I'D the ranks next to the house.
Senior Monies appeared in the break,
coming swiftly. His dark face wore
q smile; his manner was courteous,
important, authoritative.
"Senora, you got here in time. Ell
Captain Stewart will be free"
"Free" she whispered.
She rose, Keeling.
"Come," replied Monies, taking her
arm. "Perdoneme, Sonora.
Senior Monies led Madeline through
hall to patio, and on through a
large room with flooring of rough,
bare boards that ratified, into small
er room full Of armed quiet rebels
facing an open window.
Monies directed Madeline's atten.
ton to man by the window. A loose
scarf Of vivid red hung from his
hand.
"Senora, they were waiting for the
sun to set when we arrived" said
Monies. "The signal was about to be
given for Senior Stewards walk to
DEATH"
"Stewart's walk! - echoed Madeline
"Ah, Sonora, let me tell you his sen
| tence-the sentence l have had the
honor and happiness to revoke fol

| Stewart had been court-martialed
and sentenced according to Mexican

diers to whom honorable and fitting

Then she waited. No change mani

Suddenly a door opened and a tai

Madeline recognized Stewart. Sh

He gave her packet of kilograms.
Madeline tore them open with shaking
fingers, began to read with swift, dim
eyes. Some were from Washington. as
surfing her of every possible service;
some were from New York; others
written in Spanish were from Ell Paso,
and these she could not wholly trans
late in brief glance. Would she
never find Stillwell's message? 1t was
the last 1t was lengthy. 1t read:
Bought Stewards release. Also ar
ranged for his transfer as prisoner Of
war. Both matters official. He's safe
If we can get notice to his captors.
Not sure I've reached them by wire.
Afraid to trust it. You go with Link

you and secure Stewards freedom
Take Nels with you. Stop for moth
Ing Tell Link all-trust him-let him

"STILLWELL."
Link, do you know the roads, the
trails-the desert between here and
Aqua Prfeta?" she asked. Can an au-
tomobile be driven from here into
northern Mexico?"
"Sure. But it'd take time"
eve must do 1t in little time" she
went on, in swift eagerness. "Other-
wise Stewart may be-probably will
be-be shot.
Link Stevens appeared suddenly to
grow lax, shriveled. to lose all his Pc
culiar pert brightness, to weaken and
age
I'm only IA cowboy, Miss Males
ty." He almost faltered. 1t was a sin
gular change in him. "Thet's an aw-
full ride-down over the border. If by
some luck I didn't smash the car I'd
turn your hair gray. You'd never be
no good after tibet ridel"
"I am Stewards wife," she answered
him, and she looked at him, not con-
scious of any motive to persuade or al
lure, but just to let him know the
greatness of her dependence upon him
He started violently-the old action
Of Stewart, the memorable action Of
Monty Price. This man was Of the
same wild breed.
Then Madeline's words flowed in q
torrent. II am Stewards wife. love
him; have been unjust to him;
must save him. Link, have faith In
you. I beseech you to do your best for
Stewards sake-for my sake I'll risk
the ride gladly-bravely. I'll not care
where or how you drive. I'd far rather
plunge into canyon-go to my death
on the rocks-than not try to save
Stewart"
How beautiful the response Of this
rude cowboy-to realize his absolute
Inconsistencies Of self, to see the
haggard shade burn out of his face
the old, cool, devil-may-care spirit re
turn to his eyes, and to feel something
wonderful about him then! 1t was
more than will or daring or sacrifice
A blood-tie might have existed between
him and Madeline.
Miss Majesty, tibet ride figgers i'm
possible, but I'll do It'll" he replied. His

beyond shadow of doubt that he was
walking to his death. His steps
dragged a little, though they had be-
gun to be swift. The old, hard, phys
ical, wild nerve Of the cowboy was
perhaps in conflict with spiritual
growth Of the finer man, realizing too
late that life ought not to be sacri-
feed.
Then the dark CLEAN that was his
face took shape, grew sharper and
clearer. He was stalking now, and
there was suggestion Of Impotence
| in his stride. 1t took these hidden
Mexicans long time to kill himl At
q point in the middle Of the road, even
with the corner of a house and oppo-
site to Madeline's position, Stewart
halted stockstill. He presented fair,
bold mark to his executioners, and he
stood there motionless full moment.
| That wait was almost uncomfortable
for Madeline Perhaps it was only a
moment, several moments at the long
est, but the time seemed year.
| Stewards face was scornful, hard.
Did he suspect treachery on the part
of his captors, that they meant to play
with him as a cat with mouse, to
murder him at leisure? Madeline was
sure she caught the old, inscrutable,
hooking smile f1eeting across his lips.
! He held that position for what must
mind, then with laugh and shrug
| he threw the cigarette into the road.
| He shook his head as If at the incom-
prehensible motives Of men who could
have no fair reasons now for delay.
He made sudden violent action
Of his powerful frame. 1t was the old
! instructive violence. Then he faced
north. Madeline read his thought,
knew he was thinking OF her, calling
her last silent farewell. He would
serve her to his last breath, leave her
free, keep his secret. That picture Of
him, dark-browed. f1re-eyed strangely
sad and strong, sank indelibly into
Madeline's heart Of hearts.
The next instant he was striding
forward, to force by bold and scorn-
full presence speedy fulfillment Of
his sentence.
Madeline stepped into the door,
crossed the threshold. Stewart stag.
gered as If indeed the bullets he ex-
pected had pierced him In mortal
wound. His dark face turned white.
His eyes had the rapt stare, the wild
fear Of man who saw an apparition,
yet who doubted his sight. Perhaps
he had called to her as the Mexicans
called to their Virgin; perhaps he Inn
agined sudden death had come un-
awares, and this was her image ap-
pearing to him in some other life.
"Who - are - you?" he whispered
hoarsely
She tried to lift her hands, failed
tried again, and held them out. trem.

why do the goods want to
cut up messy cats and rats in d
zoology course when they might

But there is a reason-two of
them-he says. In the first place
1t takes a brave coed to enroll
in a mineralogy course. Men in
the mining department are the &C.
cepted "non-queeners" of the
campus. They're hypocritical and
have impossible ideas about wom-
en-. The result Is that, when a
timid coed enters q mineralogy
classroom she is Immediately the
cynosure of half a hundred cold
eyes which pick her to pieces.
And, worse than that, they dis
cuss her dispassionately and with
out regard for her feelings.
