Laddy. who sat an interested specta-
tor.
"Yes, / confess 1t did" replied
Dick slowly, with his eyes on Nelps
face. But / didn't mind"
The girls lashes swept up swiftly
In surprise. She had taken his words
literally. But the dark-blue eyes met
his for only fieeting second. Then
the warm tint in her cheeks turned
as red as her lips. Hurriedly she
finished tying the bandage and rose
TO her feet.

ing With that Bedding appeared in
the doorway, and, finding the opera
tion concluded called them In to sup
per. After the meal, having favor
able opportunity when for a moment
no one was at hand, Dick went out
through the yard, past the gardens
and fields, and climbed the first knoll.
Westward the setting sun gilded

panse of desert. 1t awed Gale. What
a strange, gray, somber place There
was lighter strip of gray winding
down between darker hues This he
realized presently was the river bed,
and he saw now the pools of water
narrowed and diminished. In size till
they lost themselves In gray sand.
This was the rainy season, near its
end, and here little river struggled
hopelessly, forlornly to live In the

CHAPTER V
A Desert Rose.

When Dick lay down that night he
was duly conscious of pain and head
ache-that he did not feel well. De
spite this, and a mind thronglng with
memories and anticipations, he sue
cumbed to WEAKNESS and soon fell
asleep
1t was light when he awoke, but
a strange brightness seen through
what seemed blurred eyes. A mo-
ment passed before his mind worked
clearly, and then he had to make an
effort to think. He was dizzy. When
he essayed to lift his right arm, an
excruciating pain made him desist
Then he discovered that his arm was
badly swollen, and the hand had
burst its bandages. The injured men,
Der was red, angry, infiamed, and
twice its normal size. He felt hot all
over, and raging headache con-
sumed him.
Bedding came stamping into the
room.
"Hello, Dick. Do you know it's
late7 How's the busted fist this
mornlngT
Dick tried to sit up, but his effort
was a failure. He got about half up,
then felt himself weakly sliding back.
81 guess-Pm pretty sick" he said.
He saw Bedding lean over him, feel
his face, and speak, and then every
thing seemed to drift, not into dark
ness but into some region where he
had dim perceptions of gray moving
things, and of voices that were re
mote Then there came an Interval

Dick felt that same strange, quick
ening heart throb, yet he had never
been cooler In his life. More than
anything else In the world he wanted
to look at Nell Burton however, di-
vining that the situation might be
embarrassing to her, he refrained
from looking up. She began to battle
his injured knuckles. He noted the
softness, the deftness of her touch,
and then 1t seemed her fingers were
not quite as steady as they might
have been. Still, in a moment they
appeared to become surer in their
work. When she sat down beside him
and rested his injured hand in her
lap as she cut bandages, she was so
thrillingly near that he yielded to an
irrepressible desire to look up. She
had sweet, fair face warmly tinted
with that same healthy golden-brown
sunburn. Her hair was light gold
and abundant, waving mass. Her
eyes were shaded by long, downcast
lashes, yet through them he caught a
CLEAN Of blue.
Despite the stir within him, Gale,
seeing she was now absorbed In her
task, critically studied her with a sec

long for Dick to discover that he
liked her. Her face, except when she
smiled was thoughtful and sad. But
it seemed too strong, too intense, too
nobly lined. II was a face to make
one serious. Like a haunting shadow,
like a phantom Of happier years, the
sweetness Of Nells face was there,
and infinitely more Of beauty than
had been transmitted to the daugh-
ter. Dick believed Mrs. Belongs
friendship and motherly love were
worth much striving to win, entirely
aside from any more selfish motive.
He decided both would be hard TO
get.
Toward evening Gale heard the
tramp of horses and Belongs hearty
voice. Presently the rancher strobe
in upon Gale, shaking the gray dust
from his broad shoulders and waving
letter.
"Hello. Dick Good news and
bad" he said. putting the letter in

upon a blanket.
what beautiful treel" he ex
claimed. 81 never saw one like that
What is it?'
''Palo verde" replied Nell.
"Senor, palo verde means green
tree" added Mercedes.
Little by little Dick learned details
of Nell's varied life She had lived
in many places. AS a child she re-
membered Lawrence, Kansas, where
she studied for several years. Then
she moved to Saltwater, Oklahoma,
from there to Austin, Texas, and on to
Waco, where her mother met and mar
ried Belding. They lived in New
Mexico awhile, in Tucson, Arizona, in
Douglas, and finally had come to lone
ly Forlorn River.
"Mother could never live In one
place any length of time" said Nell.
"And since we've been In the South
west she has never ceased trying TO
find some trace of her father. He
was last heard of in Nogales fourteen
years ago. She thinks grandfather
was lost in the Sonora desert.
And every place we go is worse. oh,
I love the desert. But I'd Ike to go
back to Lawrence-or to see Chicago
or New York-some Of the places Mr..
Gale speaks of I remember
the college at Lawrence, though I was
only twelve. saw races-and once
real football Mr.. Gale. OF
course. you've seen gamesY
"Yes, a few" replied Dick and he
laughed a little. 1t was on his lips
then to tell her about some of the
famous games In which he had par
ticipated. But he refrained from ex-
plotting himself. There was little,
however, of the color and sound and
cheer, Of the violent action and rush
and battle incidental to a big college
football game that he did not succeed |
in making Mercedes and Nell feel just |
as If they had been there. They hung |
breathless and wide-eyed upon his |
words
Some one else was present at the |
latter part of Dicks narrative. The
moment he became aware Of Mrs. |
presence he remembered
fancying he had heard her call, and |
now he was certain she had done so.
Mercedes and Nell however, had been
and still were oblivious to everything
except Dicks recital. He saw Mrs
Belding cast a strange, intent glance
upon Nell, then turn and go silently
through the patio.
Dick was haunted by the strange ex-
preston he had caught on Mrs. Beld-
ng's face, especially the look in her
Eyes. 1t had been one of repressed
pain liberated in fash OF certainty.
The mother had seen how far he had

CHAPTER VI


/
Toward evening of lowering De
cember day, some fifty miles west Of
Forlorn River, horseman rode along
an old dimly defined trail
This lonely horseman bestrode a
steed cs magnificent build, perfectly
white except for a dark bar of color
running down the noble head from
ears to nose. Sweat-caked dust
stained the long fianks The horse
had been running. He was lean,
gaunt, worn. a huge machine of muscle
and bone, beautiful only in head and
name, a weight-carrier, a horse strong
and fierce like the desert that had
bred him.
The rider fitted the horse as he fit
ted the saddle. He was young man
of exceedingly powerful physique,
wide-shouldered, long-armed, big
legged His lean face, where it was
not red, blistered and peeling, was the
hue of bronze. He had dark eve,
falcon gaze, rowing and keen. His
Jaw was prominent and set mastiff-
like; his lips were stern. 1t was youth
with It's softness not yet quite burned
and hardened away that kept the
whole cast of his face from being
ruthless.
This young man was Dick Gale, but
not the listless traveller, nor the lOung-
ing wanderer who two months before,
had by chance dropped into Casita
The desert had claimed Gale. and had
drawn him into its crucible. The
desert had multiplied weeks into
years. Heat, thirst, hunger, lOneli-
ness, toll. fear, ferocity, pain-he
knew them all He had felt them ALL
the white sun, with its glazed, coales-
cling, lurid fire. the caked split lips
and rasping, dry-puffed tongue; the
sickening ache in the pit of his stom-
ache; the insupportable silence, the
empty space, the utter desolation, the
contempt of life; the watch and wait,
the dread of ambush, the swift flight;
the fierce pursuit of men wild as
Bedouins and as fleet, the willingness
to deal sudden death, the pain of
poison thorn, the singing tear of lead
through flesh; and that strange para
dox of the burning desert the cold at
night, the piercing icy wind, the dew
that penetrated to the marrow, the
desert cold of the dawn.
Ladd's prophecy Of trouble on the
border had been mild compared to
what had become the actually. With |
rebel occupancy of the garrison at
Casita. outlaws, bandits. raiders In
rioting bands had spread westward. !
Many dark-skinned raider bestrode !
one Of Belongs fast horses and, in
deed, all except his selected white
had been stolen. So
the job of the rangers had become
more than a patrolling of the bound
airy line to keep Japanese and Chinese
from being smuggled into the United
States.

AN ADVENTURE
AMONG THE CANNIBALS


A short article appearing in the
Glenns Ferry Gazette few days ago,
written by an old friend OF mine
about my curios gathered from the
four corners of The globe, puts me in
mind of an expedition 1 took into
the interior of one of the Fiji Stands
in search of tin. Rumor had brought
the story of large bodies of native
tin in some of the islands of the
archipelago, and the English COM
pany I represented ordered me to
make diligent search for it.
We dropped anchor about half
mile off shore in little cove well
protected by a headland, and taking
a party of six men we pulled through
the surf and started inland through
the dense tropical jungle. We haSl
not gone far before we were sur
rounded by horde of naked savages,
armed with their pigskin shields and
spears, who took us prisoners, bound
us and led us farther into the in
terror to the home of the king, where
we found a group of huts made of
bamboo and nipa, and built on stills
to protect them from the snakes.
AS we entered the bario there was
a weird chant, accompanied by din
of Oriental music that seemed to bode
no good to us, and the king, appear
ing on little platform built at the
door of his hut, to my surprise adj
dressed us in good English, and this
is what he said:
Gentlemen, you all look good to
me, but the king only eats of those
who rule, so the fat boy who leads
the party is my meat, and the rest
will give to my brave warriors for
feast"
My spirits fell as they never fell
before, but it did not seem to do me
any good, so l rolled cigarette and
after lighting it and hiding behind a
smoke screen, 1 asked the old king
how he learned to speak my language
50 well.
Hal" he said; 81 had a good mis-
sionary with me for years, and after
lie taught me all he knew l ate him;

Kindly tell me your name so l can

rying to be civilized for years, and
wish no blood of a Mick in my

After refreshing myself with
CUP made from an Englishman
liked with a fat ALA boy, left over

efore, I stole silently into the trop-
,al night with a great sorrow for my
rave men, but thankful heart for

Boise, May ITO start the move
ment for a reduction of freight rates
for Idaho, Governor c. C. Moore and
the Public Utilities Commission have
arranged for the services of Leonard
Way, former rate expert with the
Commission, during the summer
months. Mr.. Way is secretary to
Senator F. R. Gooding and when it
was found that he would be in Idaho
this summer the governor and the
commission asked for his services
in getting the rate bureau work
started
The commission will soon appoint
rate man who will work with Mr..
Way this summer to secure the bene-
1T of his knowledge of Idaho con-
ditions.
Governor Moore is particularly
anxious that a determined effort be-
made to secure a reduction on freight
rates for the Idaho producers. 1t
was through his efforts that the fund
for a rate expert was put back in
the appropriations after it had been
cut out by the appropriation com
mittee. In his message to the leg
islature the governor said, While

GOSSIP OF THE
STATE CAPITAL

Boise, May 2.-The solution for
the problems of the Idaho farmers
is to get upon cash basis, says
Mark A. Means, State Commissioner
of agriculture. 81 realize that such
suggestion is easier said than done
and it may seem like a strange
theory at this time when so many
of the farmers are loaded down with
heavy indebtedness and struggling to
get back to their feet financially. But
it can be attained if the farmers will
raise a variety of crops so that they
will always have something to mar
ket.
"The great trouble of the past has
been that we have been too much
of a one crop state. In the hope OF
making a big return we have rushed
heavily into one crop or another
and have neglected to put out an an
Choir by diversifying our crops SO
that we can always have something
to sell. 1 feel that another mistake
has been made in trying to hold our
crops too long in hope of higher
market. My theory in operating my
farms has always been to sell my
stuff when it was ready and get the
money. 1t is too risky to speculate
on hopes of higher prices. By get
ting my money / was able to pay
cash for my purchases and was not
eaten up by interest charges and
could get whatever advantage there
was in cash price.
Idaho is coming back strong
We have the soil and the resources
that will bring great production but
we will have to get down to smaller
acreage, diversified crops and farm
the year around We ought to have
a silo for every automobile in the
state and a cream station for every
gasoline station. When we can al
ways have little something on the
farm to sell and will sell it when it
is ready for market we will have the
money to get on cash basis ana
prosperity will be ours.
'oThere is only one time when 1t
might be better to hold for a time
than to sell when the crop is ready
and that is when the price offered
S very near the cost of production.
If there is a profit to be had 1t is bet
.er to take it than to hold for pos
,ibly higher profit and be eaten mp
~ shrinkage and interest.
81 do not believe in preaching or
rying to farm by theory but these
ire fundamentals of success. own
What you have instead of letting
ONE other fellow have the big in
crest in it. When we get on cash
