White King is ,he quickest
and safest soap made-not only

every household need. 1t cleanses

won't hurt it, White King won't.
It's economical too. Because

and instantly you have a rich,

CHAPTER SIX

Raquel flushed excitedly as
she thought of the tall, slender
stranger.
Suppose he had not been in
Keno Joe's the night Of Lily's
summary trip across the bor-
der. Suppose he had come to
the Eldorado the night before.
Or the night after.
She, Raquel, would not be in
this train bound for Phoenix,
for New York, for who knew
what gaily carpeted fields OF
high adventure. She would be
back in Hermosa, married to
Bill Johnson. Or about to be
married to him. Making ready
for life in the big stone house
he had promised to build for
her on the 10 acres out by
Pueblo Creek. The place he
had bought for Lilly.
Lily's was to be a six-room
frame house. 1t had been no
trouble at all, Raquel found, to
wheedle a larger stone house
out of johnson.
"I won't live in anything that
had to do with-with-her,'
she told Johnson. Lily was al
ways her" between them.
What do you want me to
do?" the badgered cattleman
asked plaintively. The chang
ing moods of Raquel bewildered
him,

She laid both hands into his.
Anyway, now, I could never
marry an ex-convict-oh, it
would be too terrible"
Her words sank like shafts
into Morgan's soul.
He drew back from her.
never marry an ex-convict!"
He was staring at her with
eyes which tried not to COM
prehend. At last he had her
and he had no right to her.
Why should he shackle her
with the weight of his own stig-
ma? Why had he waited until
now, until this moment, to tell
her? Why had he been too vel
low to give her the truth? His
head sank into his hands.

John?"

as he arose and stalked back

come near me. You don't know
who I am. 1 should have told
you. Oh, Anne, I meant to tell
you. Why did I waltz"
"What-what is it, John?
Nothing can matter"
Anne had caught his arm and
her face, reflecting her panic,
was close to his. He stopped
and held her away from him.
His voice was hard and cold.
PaSSionleSS now-hiS voice.
Anne, I am an ex-convict!
Not once, but twice. And now
1 am an escaped convict. I was
in prison with Kent. was in
the very cell with him. 1t was
through him that knew of you
and made up my mind to hunt
you out!"
The Washington times., 1930-05-20
Much Surprised

He paused. Anne was facing
him in a dazed manner.
II found you and all this hap.
piness-a home-things I had
never known before. It all
changed me. It made me see
everything with new, clean eyes,
from a new angle-on women,
on everything, Anne. I'm sorry
I made you love me. The Big
House couldn't hold me in when
I wanted something; how could
you?"
He was pleading.
You mean-we had no right
to make love-it was my fault,
too," Anne'S voice was empty,
colorleSS. Her hands hung
liStlesSly to her sides. Her face
was lifeless and there was a
strange, CHASTITY look in her
eyes.
You think you can forgive
me?"
Eyes"
"An forget?"
"Yes."
"And I'll go away-far away
to the Hawaiian Islands"
"YeS."
And the thoughts of you
always will keep me straight,
Anne-always. Goodbye"
He turned and stumbled
away, and didn't look back.
Anne stood in the same spot.
When he had rounded the cor
ner of the house she piped an
inarticulate moan and sank to
the ground. Her mothers
voice, cheerful, teasing and be-
nign. called:
"You children must not for
get to turn that ice-cream
freezer. 1t must be hard and
cold"
"Hard-hardI" gasped Anne,
inaudibly.
"Cold!" groaned Morgan, as
he fumbled for his hat.
He couldn't find it.

stone costs money" John
sons bushy brows drew TO-
gether over his troubled eyes.
"Six rooms seems like aplenty.'
They were sitting on the
bench outside Pancho RolosS
adobe hut. Raquel rose, fluffed
out the folds of her faded green
lawn dress, prinked at the
flame-red cactus flower she had
tucked into the smoke OF her
black hair behind her left ear.
81 met a man up at Petes
store this morning" she said
lazily. HE was buying SAD

with silver trim"
Johnson recroSSed his legs,
studied the toe of dusty boot.

q bald attempt to inject indif-
ference into his question.
His names Farrell. JACK
Farrell. He's an engineer.
Something about mining. MY
but he's handsome" RaquelS
eyelids-Johnson had seen ca
mellia petals exactly like them
closed dreamily.
"About our houSe-little Rad
uel." johnson motioned her TO-
ward him. "If your heart is set
on a stone house, stone it's got
to be. You draw a picture OF
what you think you'd like to
have and I'll send it on to Phoe-
nix SOS the builders up there
can draw the plans"
Wheedling a 10-room stone
mansion out of Johnson had
been as easy as that.
The promise of wedding trip
to San Francisco, though, had
been more difficult. johnson
was set on honeymooning along
the Rio Grande. There was an
isolated ranch house on one OF
his tracts. Built by a fellow
from the East, who tired OF the
desert loneliness and returned TO
the more acute but more glamor-
Gus loneliness of the city.
The Washington times., 1930-05-20
His Surprise

Yesterday" she interrupted.
It was good to hear these
things. Farrell loved her. She
would like to listen to the
caress on his lips. If it were
not that they must be going
on, into the town. This meet
ing was not to be a clandes-
tine one. She would make sure
it would come to Johnson's
-earS. johnson had to be taught
a lesson.
Farrell could scarcely con-
ceal his surprise at Raquers
change in attitude toward
him. She was willing to be
seen openly with him, to let
the whole town know he found
favor in her eyes. She even
clung to his arm as they passed
along the main street, batting
him, indulging in happy rail
lery.
The touch of her was like
quicksilver in his veins. His
pulses leaped. Jove-she was
beautiful. The incarnation of
that flaming cactus flower she
wore in her hair. Did she
love him? Was she going to
throw Johnson oVer-for him?
Raquel dismissed Farrell at
the corner of the lane lead
ing to the RojoS shack. The
news of her frank admiration
for Farrell must have travelled
fast. Already it had brought
johnson to the hut, fuming
over her return.
II thought we might get
hitched right away" he greeted
her with a flourish of mag
nanimity. "and take that trip
to Frisco you been wanting"
