SYNOPSIS

Don Alfredo, wealthy, Spanish owner OF
Southern California rancho, refuses to heed
several warnings of raid by band OF
outlaws, Sierra Indians. One day after ne
has finally decided to seek the protection
Of the nearby mission for his wife and fam.
lily, the Indians strike. Don Alfredo Is killed
and his two young daughters are torn from
the arms OF the family's faithful maid,
Monica, and are carried away to the hills
Padre Pasqual, missionary friend OF the
family, arrives at the ruins of the ranch and
learns the story Of the raid from Monica.
After a trying and difficult trip across the
plains and mountains from Texas to Cali.
fornia, youthful Henry Bowie, Texas adj.
venturer, with his friends. Ben Pardaloe
and Sinmie, an Indian scout sight the party
Of Indians who have carried off the two
little girls. The three Texans attack the
war party OF fifty -odd Indians and through q
clever ruse scatter the savages to the hills
The girls are saved. The group makes its
way out of the hills and meets the distraught
Monica, the children's maid. The girls are
left with Monica and the friendly Padre at
a mission, and the Texans proceed to Mon
terey. Here Bowie completes his business
for Gen. Sam Houston of Texas who has
commissioned him to deliver an important
message. Bowie decides to have look at
the wild unframed country that California
was In the middle Nineteenth century.
Bowie disappears from California but re-
turns eight years later and makes the &C.

the Rancho Guadalupe.

hand toward her. The Texan per-
ceived his peril. His horse strove
vainly to pit his strength against the
strength of his enormous enemy. 1t
was hopeless endeavor. Relent-
lessly the bear dragged horse and
rider toward him. Luckily a stable
tree stood near. With shout and
spur Bowie, plunging forward,
whirled the horse and managed to
circle the tree before the bear could
take up all the slack. It gave the
Texan an instant of respite, and
he dismounted. But in that instant
the bear charged him.
The tree between the two was of
little consequence, as the hunted
man was aware, and the grizzly's
leap was far beyond the nirnblest
feat of a runner. Taking what was at
best merely desperate chance,
Bowie, as he jumped, fired shot aft
er shot into the BEARS mouth and
head. Then he dropped the empty
revolver, whipped out his knife and,
waiting not second, plunged di-
rectly into the bears arms for what
was likely to prove a fatal en-
brace. Only one of the two, he knew
could come out alive.
The foreman Pedro was riding
away from the corral when he saw
Don Ramon's riderless horse racing
out of the hills. The half-breed real
lied at once there was trouble.
Shouting to nearby vaqueros to fol-
low, he spurred for the hills. Be-
fore he reached them Bowels horse,
dragging the broken rope, shot out
of the canyon and gave him the di-
rection. At the same moment he
heard pistol shots echoing down the
canyon walls. Urging his compan-
ions who were stringing along be-
hind to follow fast, Pedro galloped
into the canyon.
His practiced eye told him the
story as he rode. Whatever it had
been, it was over, for the canyon
was as still as the grave. On he
galloped until, rounding a bend, he
sssaw the bodies Of the grizzly and
xlAe Texan lying less than ten yards
saass&rt, both apparently dead.

to save himself. In the end he was
killed. The vaqueros made nightly
sport with the big fellows. The Tex
ans, seeing bear after bear brought
to the knife, were not greatly inn
pressed.
In the morning Don Ramon invit-
ed Bowie for a canter over the
rancho. He particularly wanted to
see how the rain had left the foot
bridge leading across the river to
the grain fields which stretched in
rolling acres toward the bay. Re-
turning, he suggested short cut
through the hills. The two men
were riding briskly abreast when,
crossing a canyon, they stumbled
suddenly, almost on top of bear
ambling along on her way with two
cubs to the matanza ground.
mira! Cuidadol Oso pardo,"
cried Don Ramon.
The warning was well ordered.
The bear, enraged, reared with the
swiftness of jack-in-the-box on her
huge feet and sprang, as luck would
have it, at Don Ramon. She struck
him with raking blow Of her claw.
1t caught his trouser leg. The stout
cloth, unhappily for the rider, held
and the unlucky Don found himself
torn from the saddle. In catapult-
ing headfrst to the ground his foot
caught in the stirrup, and his fren-
zied horse dashed down the canyon,
cragging the rider a dozen yards
before the Don could release him.
self. AS he kicked clear with
mighty effort his head struck rock,
and he sprawled on the canyon floor,
half conscious. The bear dashed
awkward but swiftly after the flee
ing horse and the helpless rider.
Bowie, close at hand, had barely
seconds to head his panicky mount
toward the angry beast and uncoil
his lasso. Yelling to the Don to
fee, Bowie flung his rope at the lop-
ing grizzly. It settled over her head
and Bowie, squirting swiftly back
despite the weight and size of the
grizzly, jerked the monster around
and threw her off her feet.
Only for an instant. Rolling over,
the bear, doubly infuriated, seized
the lasso in her claw and began reel
ing Bowie and his horse hand over

and his scouts were grateful but
could not think of so great draft on
this magnificent hospitality.
In the living room, while the rain
poured furiously outside, Don Ra-
mon smoked TRANQUILITY and listened
to Bowie and his nephew. The la
dies talked about the wedding in
Monterey. In the morning it was
still raining hard - the rancho
seemed afioat. The Texan had no
choice but to accept Don Ramon's
hospitality, and the day went in sto-
ries told before the big log fire.
stories of Texans and the country
of the Staked Plain; the story of
Santa Ana and the Alamo, which
was told without any effort to water
down the cruel butchery by the Mex
leans. And interspersed were sto-
ries of this new California, to which
the plainsman listened with hungry
interest. Don Francisco had already
taken fancy to Bowie. That eve
ming he questioned the Texan with a
purpose.
Bowie, quite alert to all that went
on, noticed the glances that Fran
cisco cast at times toward Carmen,
who was in animated talk with Dona
Maria. Even the Texans attention
wandered at moments from Fran
cisco's explanation to the two wom-
en- as they chatted. Both were beau
tiful, of type the roughhewn Texan
had never yet seen. They we're
beautiful in artless animation. The
bronzed son of the desert was al
most stunned by the atmosphere of
charm. The Dona at forty had lost
none of her youth; the years had
tempered without engrossing the
portrait of her maidenhood. The vi
vacity of youth was still hers, en-
riched now by the dignity of matron-
ly charm. Yet Bowie's eyes were
drawn to her daughter Carmen,
just old enough to realize the pres
ence of stranger and protecting
her attractiveness by the slight re-
preston of gir1hood.
Bowie listened, indeed, to the
words of Don Ramon; but he heard
the cadences of another voice-a
voice of sweet-throated music,
strange to the ear but bewildering
in utterance. For the first time in
his life the Texan, without realizing
it, began to love the strange tongue
in which Californians spoke and to
listen for every syllable that might
fall from the lips of the young Span
ish girl. The clinging black of her
gown did not hide the tender slope
Of her shoulders; it contrasted with
the ivory Of her slender neck; and
above this, from a perfectly poised
head, fell soft masses of brown hair.
They framed the features of one
just at the threshold of ful1-bloomed
adolescence: lips filling with prom
Use of richer maidenhood; eyes
that retired under long dark lashes
and opened with searching light.
"You want to start tomorrow"
Don Francisco was asking. Bowie
nodded.

Don Ramon lifted his eyebrows
as if pleased-at last he had found a
