: CHAPTER XIX
unhridIed.

In waking and sleeping hours, Made
line Hammond could not release her
self from the thralling memory of that
tragedy. She was haunted by Monty
Prices terrible smile. Only in action
Of some kind could she escape; and
to that end she worked, she walked
and rode. She even overcame strong
feeling, which she feared was unrea-
sonable disgust. for the Mexican girl
Bonita, who lay Ill at the ranch,
bruised and feverish, in need Of skill
full nursing.
One afternoon she rode down to the
alfalfa fields, round them, and back
up to the Epillway of the lower lake,
where group of mesquite-trees, ow-
Ing to tAs water that seeped through
the sand to their roots, had taken on
bloom and beauty Of renewed life. I'm
der these trees there was shade
enough to make a pleasant place to
linger. Madeline dismounted, desiring
to rest a. little.
Her horse, Majesty, tossed his head
and flung his name and switched his
tail at the flies. He would rather
have been cutting the wind down the
valley slope. Madeline sat with her
back against a tree, and took off her
sombrero. Suddenly Majesty picked
up his long ears and snorted. Then
Madeline heard slow pad of hoofs.
A horse was approaching from the di-
rection Of the lake. Madeline had
learned to be wary, and, mounting
Majesty, she turned him toward the
open. A moment later she felt glad
of her caution, for, looking back be-
| tween the trees, she saw Stewart lead
ing horse into the grove. She would
as lief have met guerrilla as this
cowboy.
Majesty had broken into trot
when shrill whistle rent the air. The
horse leaped and; wheeling so swiftly
| that he nearly unseated Madeline, he
charged back straight for the mes
| quites. Madeline spoke to him, cried
angrily at him, pulled with all her
strength upon the bride, but was
helplessly unable to stop him. He
| whistled a piercing blast. Madeline
realized then that Stewart, his old
master, had called him and that moth
| ing could turn him. She gave up try
ing, and the horse thumped into an
| aisle between the trees and. stopping
before Stewart, whinnied eagerly.
II want to talk to you" said Stew
art.
| Madeline started, turned to him.
and now she saw the earlier Stewart,
/ the man who reminded her Of their
first meeting at Ell Cajon. Of that
memorable meeting at Chiricahua.
II want to ask you something" he
| went on. 'sTve been wanting to know
something. That's why I've hung on
here. But now I'm going over-over
| the border. And l want to know.
Why did you refuse to listen to me?'
At his last words that hot shame,
tenfold more sitting than when 1t had
before Inundated Madeline, rushed
over her, sending the scarlet In a wave
to her temples. Biting her lips to
hold back speech. she jerked on Maj
