When our eldest daughter was three
years old she contracted a habit of
running way to play with a small
neighbor in her sand pile, though she
had one of her own.
l had always held to the rule of
making no promises of reward or pun
ishment which were not fulfilled, and
of explaining the reasons for my
action beforehand.
One day after many escapades l
said to her: MARY, l have told you
how necessary it is for me to know
where you are all the time, and how
wrong it is for you to go away without
asking me. 1 find that l cannot trust
you to do this, so l have decided if
you run away again to bring you
home and tie one end of a long rope
to your wrist and the other end to
the porch. This is the best plan 1
can think of to help you remember
what you must learn to do"
A few days later she ran away again.
Another child brought her home. 1
took her to her room to get her story,
knowing there was a long struggle be-
fore me. 1 used every device l could
think of to persuade her to tell me

Finally l told her all the events of

tell me about this yourself?" Her
answer was instant and conclusive.

CHAPTER Xxx.

A summer day dawned on Forlorn
River, a beautiful, still, hot, golden
day with huge sail clouds of white
m~otionless over No Name peaks and
the purple of clear air in the distance
along the desert horizon.
Mrs. Bedding returned that day to
find her daughter happy and the past
buried forever in two lonely graves,
The haunting shadow left her eyes.
Gale believed he would never forget
the sweetness, the wonder, the pas
sion of her embrace when she called
him her boy and gave him her bless
ing.
The little wrinkled padre who mar
ried Gale and Nell performed the
ceremony as he told his beads, with
out interest or penetration, and went
his way, leaving happiness behind.

IN this WOrlQ. An LICK, as 1dqul
says, she's shore your Shower Of
Gold"
He spoke of Gales finding love
spoke of it with the deep and wistful
feeling of the lonely ranger who had
always yearned for love and had never
known it. Bedding, once more Erac-
teal, and important as never before
with mining projects and water
claims to manage, spoke of Gales
great good fortune in the finding of
gold-he called it desert gold.
"Ah. yes. Desert Gold" exclaimed
Dicks father, softly, with eyes of
pride. Perhaps he was glad Dick had
found the rich claim; surely he was
happy that Dick had won the girl he
loved. But it seemed to Dick himself
that his father meant something very
different from love and fortune in his
allusion to desert gold.

by. Dick was startled. grieved. ani

enough about mineral to know that
this was a rich strike. All in a second
he was ~speechless with the JOY OF 1t.
But his mind whirled in thought about
this strange and noble Indian, who
seemed never to be able to pay a debt.
Bedding and the poverty that had
come to him! Nell, who had wept
over the loss of a spring! Laddy,
who never could ride again! Jim
Lash, who swore he would always look
after his friend! Thorne and Mer-
cedes! All these people, who had
been good to him and whom he loved,
were poor. But now they would be
rich. They would and all be his
partners. He had discovered the
source of Forlorn river, and was rich
in water. Yaqui had made him rich
in gold. Gale wanted to rush down
the slope, down into the valley, and
tell his wonderful news.
Suddenly his eyes cleared and he
saw the pile of stones. His blood
turned to ice, then to fire. That was
the mark of a prospector's claim. But
it was old, very old. The ledge had
never been worked. The slope was
wild. There was not another single
indication that a prospector had ever
been there. Where, then, was he who
had first staked this claim? Gale
wondered with growing hope, with
the fire easing, with the cold passing.
The Yaqui uttered the low, strange,
involuntary cry so rare with him, a
cry somehow always associated with
death. Gale shuddered.
The Indian was digging In the sand
and dust under the shelving wall. He
threw out an object that rang against
the stone. It was a belt buckle. He
threw out old shrunken, withered
boots. He came upon other things,
and then he ceased to dig.
The grave of desert ~prosIectors
Sale had seer more than one. Laid
had told him many a story of such
gruesome finds. 1t vas grim,A hard
fact.
Then the keen-eyed Yaqui reached
up to a little projecting shelf of rock
and took from it a small object. He
showed no curiosity and gave the
thing to Gale.
How strangely Gale felt when he re
ceived into his hands a fiat oblon&
box! Was 1t only the influence o.
the Yaqui, or was there a nameles'
and unseen presence beside tina
grave? Gale could not be sure. Blu
he knew he had gone back to the OLE
desert mood. He knew something
hung in the balance. No accident, NJ
luck, no debt-paying Indian could &C
count wholly for that moment. Gal
knew he held in his hands more thai
gold.
The box was a tin one, and not a
all rusty. Gale pried open the re
luctant lid. A faint old musty odo
penetrated his nostrils. Inside tn

strangely It came to Gale then that
he was glad. Yaqui had returned to
his own-the great spaces, the desola-
ton, the solitude-to the trails he had
trodden when a child, trails haunted
now by ghosts of his people, and ever
by his gods. Gale realized that in the
Yaqui he had known the spirit of the
desert, that this spirit had claimed III
which was wild and primitive in him.

them away-kissed the fire back to
them and the flame to her cheeks.
That action recalled Gales earlier
mood, the Joy of the present, and he
turned to Nell's sweet face. The desert
was there, wonderful, constructive, en-
nobling, beautiful, terrible, but it was
not for him as it was for the Indian.
In the light of NelT's tremulous re-
turning smile that strange, deep.
