a ruffian without remembering it with

Perhaps the interest had been forced

as she gave everything.
Stewart had taken up his duties as
foreman, and his activities were cease

TO BE URGED

First we thought whoever made it was
hunting for water. But they passed
two ranches without watering. At
Seaton's wash they dug for water.
Here they met a pack-train of burros
that came down the mountain trail.
The burros were heavily loaded. Horse
and burro tracks struck south from
Seaton's to the old California emigrant
road. We followed the trail through
Guadalupe canyon and across the bor-
der. On the way back we stopped at
Slaughter's ranch, where the United

we met foresters from the .Peloncillo

continued to improve Then presently

observe Stewards singular behavior.
She never went out to take her Gus

him somewhere in the distance. She
was aware that he watched for her and
avoided meeting her. When she sat on
the porch during the afternoon or at
sunset Stewart could always be des-

She told Stewart that she hoped he
would soon be in the saddle again, and
passed on her way.
That Stewart loved her Madeline
could not help but see. When she dis
covered this she felt a little surprise
and annoyance. Then she interrogated
herself, and concluded that it was not
that Stewart was so different from his
comrades, but that circumstances made
him stand out from them. She re-
