Carefully he gave orders, max
ing certain that each man un.
derstood his part, and at the
end they left him and hurried
through the night until they
reached the Verde road. A half
mile beyond the Lowell ranch
the five men halted and waited,
just where the road rose out
Of dry arroyo.
Somewhat ahead of the rest
and hidden by a clump of
mesquite, Pablo sat his horse,
watching in the direction of
Verde. Ten minutes passed.
half hour, then a low whistle
from the leader and two of the
men urged their horses to the
center of the road. Almost at
once the lights of an approach
ing car cleaned, grew brighter,
and as it ratified up out of the
arroyo, cast its rays on the
horsemen, and the sound Of a
horn warned them to step aside.
Instead they stepped directly
into the glare of the headlights,
and the car. with a shrill grind
ing of brakes, ratified to a halt.
An irate driver, leaning out, de-
manded, "You fellows need the

car ratified on.
In the darkness Pablo smiled,
and as the car disappeared,
called, Better luck next time,
hombres," then after a quick
look down the road he gave a
warning whistle and faded back
among the mesquite.
Again the two men took their
station in the center of the
road, and again from Verde a
car came hurrying, dipped down
into the arroyo and emerged
almost directly in front Of the
horsemen. The top was folded
back, and even in the darkness
the two men could make out
the figure Of a girl at the
wheel. while from his sheltering
mesquite Pablo recognized the
straight, slender figure of Nora
Barnes. Quickly one rider raised
his hand in a command to halt,
and for an instant the car
slowed down, then suddenly,
sensing danger, the girl threw
the wheel sharply to the left,
jerking the car half off the road,
and her foot jammed down on
the accelerator. The rear tires
spun in the soft sand then
gripped, and the car leaped for.

two unseen riders closed in from
the darkness. Squirting his horse
forward, the nearer swung to
the running board, and twisting
the wheel from her hands, cut
the switch. The girl turned, a
blue blaze of light leaped from
her hand, and with a hoarse cry
the man knocked a revolver
from her grasp.

fully lingering the handle of
his automatic until Lolita called
him to dinner. And later,
when the women had left, he
sat smoking for long time,
his feet on the porch railing,
his eyes on the bright desert
stars that burned low over the
Mexican hills. The hour of
pease. Peace and the solace of
the desert night filled all that
silent world, bringing release
from toll and striving, dwarf
ing to insignificance the tenn
porary works and passions Of
man in that ageless immensity
Of sand and sky.
Yet on this first night of his
return Dicks brooding thoughts
ran back to that other night,
when word of his brothers
death had brought him home.
BrOOding
A bullet in the back! An
outstretched form in the desert
and the tracks of a horses
hoofs galloping southwark
toward the border. A limp,
crumpled figure carried up
these very steps by his cow
boys. Beyond that nothing ex-
cept the last letter he was ever
to receive from his brother,
the letter that had ended: Il
don't like the look of things.

Restlessly Lowell rose and
paced the length of the porch.
Well, perhaps he had learned
more, but that bullet fired

fenced all knowledge forever.
For a time he stood looking
out to the north, where the
long wall of the Barrier loomed
darkly against the sky. A little
wind blew across the desert,
bringing with it the chill of a
January night, and twice the
lights of automobiles flashed on
the road to Verde. The cold
grew more penetrating and at
last Lowell entered the house
and unfolded a large map, COM
pairing it with figures he had
copied from Sari's desk. Then
at last he pushed it all back
and sat quite still, his eyes
fixed in thought.
New Orders
On that same January eve
ming, in the little bunk house
that served as his office at the
dam, Nick Sari called five men
together. Ranged along the wall
they stood there, a strangely
grotesque lot, each with a
record of violence behind him,
each a recognized bad man."
even here in the border coun-
try where that title was diff
cult enough to earn and often
dangerous to possess. Yet now
they stood like chastened chill
dren while with open contempt
Sari glared up at them and
slowly, dispasSionately lashed
them with the cold anger Of his
words. Methodically he re-
viewed their past failures to
deal with the Verde ranchers,
holding them up to scorn,
sneering at their vacillation.
you've been too easy with
them-you, too, Pablo" he
ended. What in Hell good are
you if I'm to come back and
find half the Verde ranchers
still holding land that is mine?
Men rule by fear. Haven't you
learned that yet?
