The complaint against him was
filed by o. E. Simmons, who al

M ling company by Mr. Hulburt.
The latter, he said, advised him that
$1,000 would be deposited in a bank
in Tucson to pay salaries. Fol-

he employed 80 Mexican laborers.
It later developed, he declares, that
no money was deposited and the
wages of the laborers and his SAL

was very still-the stiffness seemed
to touch them, to make them one
with it. The light was low. Little
soft scents of wood and pine and
smoke crept out to them. Little soft
sounds of night in the hills crept in
to them. The chirr of latydids filled
the air.
Suddenly Peter lifted his hand and
drew her face toward him until her
Hps lay against his throat. His hand
caresssd her shining. bronzs-gol&

"LIose your eyes," he said. ''It's
quite dark here and I will not talk
Maybe you can forget it's only Peter
and think it's some one you like"
Rowena lay very still, scarcely
breathing, against him. He could feel
her lips upon his throat quivering
ever so little.
"Peter," she said.
"Mmmmm," he murmured indis-
tinguishably.
"Who-whose cabin is it?"
He laughed softly. "Do-do you
care?"
Unconsciously she stiffened a little
in his arms, her quivering lips grew
firm. But she pressed more closely
into the curve of his arm.
"No," she said firmly.
cts my mother's," he said. "She
likes this sort of thing"
Rowena relaxed and laughed a lit
tie, tremulously. And the throbbing
silence enfolded them warmly.
After a long while-"Peter," she
said again.
"Mmmmmmm."

You'd better take me to town-take
me right away quick-as fast as ever
you can-"
"It's too late now"
"Too late is better than-never,"
she said. "And pretty soon it will be
never" Unconsciously their voices
had fallen to whispers. "It's never
really too late-until it really is-too
late" she added enigmatically. peter
believe me-you'd better-
Again he laughed softly. "Why,
Rowena, why?-You are my wife"
Because, if you DON'T warn
you, Peter LII never let you go
again-never-as long as you live
and it will be too late for ever"
Even against the straining of her
arms about him she wondered breath
lessly if he would rise up at that and
go away. But of course he didn't:
He laughed again, an odd pleased
laugh, and pressed his lips to her
fragrant hair.
And Constantine murmured quiet
contentment at their feet.

Rowena threw off her nervousness
in forced laughter.

gaily, though her voice was that of
one who has too little breath for a
torrent of tumbling words, "fancy
