to Sandra when she saw the sun
casting its rays through her win

thing outside seemed greener and
brighter. The birds knew all about

CHAPTER TwENTY-FoUR


BOB WAKEMAN did not come
to the Mesquite In the ranch sta
ton wagon. or the stagecoach. He
was in a regulation yellow cab,
from La MADEIRA.
Il Just happened to be passing
through, so dropped around to see
you" He addressed his words to
Gordon Adams. but his arm was
about Sandra's shoulders.
II was so wonderful to see a IA
miliar person that her eyes were
bright with unshed tears. The
three, along with several Of the
Mesquite guests, were standing
around the small branding iron bar.
What a pal" the ranchowner
said, to everyone in general. He
dropped around to see me from La
MADEIRA. Just a 49-mile-taxi ride"
Appreciative laughter greeted that
information. How long are you
staying, Bob?" He led the new
guest aside.
As he did, Wakeman. in turn,
drew the red-haired girl along with
them. "Just tonight" Wakeman
answered, still keeping his arm
about Sandra's shoulders. I'm fly
ing on to Hollywood tomorrow.
Just wanted to see II Sandra Is re-
covering"
"Oh, yes" The ranchowner took
two Scotch and soda highballs from
a tray, offered by an Indian boy,
and ordered some sherry for the
girl "In fact" he resumed, "she is
thinking OF leaving the Mesquite
soon. Aren't you. Sandra?" he
queried with slow significance.
Sometime. she replied madden

he's darned easy on you. He wants
you back. Everyone In the store
does"
After dinner Wakeman and his
former designer played gin rummy
and talked, while Gordon Adams
played bridge, at table on the OPP
poste side OF the room. Sandra
wondered IL he could be playing
very good game, as he watched
her and Wakeman a great part OF
the time. And I'm watching him,
she thought guiltily, or I'd not see
his staring.
Young Wakeman left early the
next morning. to be in La Madeira

They were at the last gate Of the
Mesquite Ranch, the one leading
into the highway. The man un-
latched It and opened It. just a
trifie. AS she slid through Sandra
looked right into his eyes, feeling
her heart rock.
Tears were in your eyes when
you saw Bob"

Gordon Adams did not answer
He Just leaned on the gate and
watched her as she walked briskly
toward town. She turned once
furious with herself for doing IL
and saw him. still leaning against
the gate.
In the little village stores she
whiled away time. buying enough
TO keep clerks talkative and inter

cowpunchers from the ranch ad'

dreading TO go back 10 the ranch
house, she went to the movies
When she was out OF that small
wooden theater, she wished fervent'
ly that she had gone home In th'
daylight. instead OF giving in &c
the contrary urge that made hei

1T is the sincere desire OF my
government that the interests Of
its citizens may not be prejudiced
through exclusive treatment by
any of the controlling powers
within their respective spheres of

retain there an open market for all

Western world is alike concerned.
II believes that such n result may
be greatly aided and advanced by
declarations by the various powers
claiming spheres of interest in
China as to their intentions in re.

trade and commerce therein.
All the interested powers replied
in the affirmative except Russia,
whose reply was vague. John Hay,
in letter to Henry White dated
April 2. 1900, gives something of
the Russian position:
Russia would sign no paper, but
her foreign minister, Count Mura-
vieff. gave an oral promise to do
what France did. Later he flew
into a passion and insisted upon 1t
that Russia would never bind her
self in that way; that whatever she
did. she would do alone and with.
