l die-clear stamp of Navajo luck charm. The outlines were clear and distinct.
 Kildare's brow wrinkled as he stared at the cryptic Indian letters. The lower tip of the swastika was bent inward. Looks as if watch-charm made that mark" he murmured to himself. That ought to prove something some day, maybe. Wonder where the empty shell is."
 It lay in the roots of dwarfed sagesbrush, two yards away. where the eiector had thrown it.
 Little Basilio sat beside Mercedes as she drew up her team.
 Dry-eyed, Mercedes watched as Blaze held the little fellow on his knee and petted him. Basiio had been friendly with My Man once be- fore. so Kildare put him on the horses back now. My Man arched his neck and whinnied as he regarded the boy. The child was treasured immediately.
 Then, with Mercedes help. all that
 
 in the wagon. While they had been busy at their task Basilio had con- tinued his friendship with the horse. They were ready to go now, and both Mercedes and Blaze turned inquiring eyes at the boy. He was busly play ing with the canteen that hung from the saddle. Mercedes face grew wistful as she regarded the little fell low. On the heels of this, gratitude for the mans thoughtfulness showed, too.
 T want a drink from your water bag. Senor Blaze. please" the child begged.
 Mercedes looked at Kildare, and a. he nodded ready consent, she reached to the horn of the saddle to lift the canteen to the boys lips. Uncon- sciously, she turned it over in her hands. There stenciled on the wet canvas covering, she saw the capital "A A" with which Acklin stamped has property.
 Mercedes caught up the canteen and tiger-like hurled it to the ground Swinging on her heels she faced Blaze. "You---a Double A man?" She waited for no answer. Her lips curled in contempt: "A Double A spy!"
 Blaze felt his face go white. With cruel insistence Mercedes flaming eyes swept him.
 Tt is not enough that they kill my father; Senor Acklin must send you here to spy and pretend to help me"
 Don't convict me without giving me chance to defend myself" Kill dare pleaded. T am a Double A man; but I didn't come here to spy. You don't know what you've said. 1

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER
 SUSPECT 1T
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from drug. gists who are constantly in direct touch with tbe public, there is one preparation that has been very suc- cessful in overcoming these condi- tions. The mild and healing inAu. ence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp. Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success,
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Com- psnies, in an interview of the subject. made an astonishing statement that one reason why so many epplicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large ma- jcrity of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilner,s cwamp- Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to pr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binglamton, N. Y., for sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention this paper.

Spy? I'd sure take that word from no man. Why do you say Acklin killed your father?"
 Who else so much wanted him out of the way? He had no enemies. Acklin." It was an unhoiy word as she uttered it. And his greed they were all my father feared"
 Even so," Blaze countered ''lt's not covenants way to shoot in the Lack or from ambush. I was going to the hacienda when I met you"
 There was frank disbelief in the girls eyes. Blaze knew there was nothing to do now but to tell her the truth.
 We had some shooting at the fence last night, Esteban---"
 "Esteban? Is he killed too?" No, he's just wounded. The Big Boss sent me down to get you. That's the business that brought me here We took the hoy In as soon as we found him. He'll be all right in week or so."
 "The Double A covers itself with the blood of my people" she cried,
 CHAPTER Xv. The Accusation
 Kent was waiting for them at the Rancho. Jose's death affected Tus- carora visibly. He tried his best to console Mercedes.
 When they had finished their sad task, the two men went outside.
 Mercedes joined them, ready for the ride to the Bulls Head. A stoical calmness rested upon her, leav- ingher a beautiful, madonna-like creature.
 Tuscarora rode with them for al mile before he turned for town. He had offered to see the undertaken and priest and do those other errands which death makes necessary.
 When they rode into the yard at the Bulls Head, Acklin met them. He dismissed Kildare with curt nod but turned covetous ingratiating smile on Mercedes. The whiteness of her face and her tired eyes were not lost on Acklin.
 Mercedes followed the big ranch man along the porch to where two riders sat opposite the entranch to the stairway. As they drew near they heard voice raised in song; wild, rollicking, not overly proper bunk house song. Blaze and Chet had evi- dently been taking it in.
 Acklin stopped in the doorway i'm peding Mercedes entrance. 'Tel | him to stop that noise," he demanded | of Chet
 "Heyt Ladies nresent Melody," i Chet called. "Cut the song"
 Melody stuck his flaming head over the banister above them. and called: S'all right. Just made his bed"
 The meeting between the wounded 1 boy and his sister was more than the sensitive singer could stand. Not | knowing what lay back of the girls reticence when she failed to answi!r | why their father had not come with l her, he turned and went downstairs.

there was the unmistakable imprint of a boot-mark. Blaze threw him. self down beside it and stretched his length as he imagined the assassin lad done. The distance from toe mark to elbow was good five inches longer than the impressions his own body made.
 Without disturbing the sand, Blaze searched for other signs that might tell him something. Tn. a hollow. about where the waist of the assailant should have come, he discovered the
