He stared at her without rancor, nor
did the pleasant smile that had crinkled
his undeniably good-looking counte-
nance fade the sliShtest. Roberta made
swift appraisal of him. He was about
six feet tall, strongly built. 1.-the and
graceful. An out-of-doors. athletic girl
herself, Roberta knew that this man
was as hard as nails, with scarce a
pound of superfluous fat on him. His
complexion was a reddish brown, a
most agreeable color scheme when taken
in conjunction with crinkly jet-black
hair and large, black, snappy eyes.
His hat was soft lightweight white
beaver, broad-brimmed, high-crowned
and pinched to a peak. He wore an
Immediately clean white drill shirt,
sans sleeves below the elbow. His over

tt . long for him, for which reason the
excess had been turned up in a cuff
over his expensive high-heeled boots.
His spurs were Of the approved stock
mans pattern, brass with silver inlays
and steel heel chains; around his waist
was a wide, hand-carved leather belt
supporting two pistol holsters carved to
match. From each holster the pearl
butt Of pistol protruded; there were
spare cartridges in the belt.

ted, without particle of shame or en-
barrassment, and from the infection Of
his voice, from certain faint clipped

"Oh, no! Not even in self-defense. "
Roberta had feeling that she was
not going to make much progress In the
face of the mans debonair indifference.
Il never suspected my uncle's murderer
was such frontier dandy" she said
witheringly.
Don Jaime drew one OF his pistols,
tipped six empty brass shells out on
the station platform and thoughtfully
reloaded the weapon. "One is liable to
scare most anything out of the brush
in this county, Miss Antrim. I suppose
you entertained the popular impression
that frontier murderer is physically
as well as morally unclean" He loaded
the other pistol. I'm sure shouldn't
be blamed If my parents preferred

'Well, the hair must have slipped

you for the attempted murder of Mr.

"You may even omit the thanks" he
replied brightly. 'I am delighted to
have an opportunity to withdraw from

permission, senorita, shall ride swiftly

Again his hat swept the platform be-

on his horse, spoke few words to the
boy who was waiting there for him
