DAVE LAW FOLLOWS A TRAIL OF CRIME THAT LEADS
HIM TO A SURPRISING DESTINATION, BUT HE DETER-
MINES TO ENFORCE THE LAW TO THE LETTER
Mrs. Alnlro Austin, hnndsomo young mistress of Las Palmns
ranch, lost In the Texas desert, wnndcrs Into the little camp of David
Law, state ranger lying In ambush for n Mexican murderer. She Is
forced to stay 24 hours, until Law captures his man, kills another
and escorts her home. "Young Ed" Austin, drunken wastrel, berates
his wife and makes Insulting Insinuations about the- ranger. Austin
1b secretly In lcaguo with Mexican rebels and horse thieves. Mrs.
Austin starts for her other ranch, La Fcrla, In Mexico, to secure dam
nges for cattlo taken by Mexican soldiers, and encounters Gen. Luis
Longorlo, who becomes Instantly enamored of her beauty, much to
her embarrassment Meanwhile Davo Law, trailing horso thieves,
kills a man who shoots his horse.
CHAPTER Vll-Contlnued.
Tho mist and an curly dusk prevent
ed him from seeing Las Palmns Itself
until ho was well In among tho Irri
gated fields. A few moments later,
when ho rodo up to tho outbuildings,
bo encountered a middle-aged Mexican,
who proved to be Benito Gonzalez, the
rango boss.
Davo made himself known, and Be
nito answered his questions with ap
parent honesty. No, ho had seen noth
ing of a sorrel horso or a strange rider,
but ho had Just come In himself.
Doubtless they could learn more from
Juan, the horse-wrangler, who was
soHiewhcro nbout.
Juan was finally found, but ho
proved strangely recalcitrant. Ho ad
mitted that lie had seen a horso of
tho description given. Probably It be
longed to fioino stranger.
Davo changed his tactics. "Oigal" he
said, sternly. "Do you wnnt to go to
Jail?" Juan hnd no such desire. "Then
tell tho truth. -Where Is tho horso
now?"
Juan Insolently declared ho didn't
know and didn't caro.
"Oh, you don't, eh?" Law reached
for the hoy, and shook him until ho
yelled. "You will niako n nlco little
prisoner, Juanlto, and wo shall find a
way to mn'ko you speak."
Gonzalez was Inclined to resent such
high-handed treatment of his under
ling, but respect for tho Hangers was
deep-rooted, and Juan's behavior was
Inexplicable.
At last tho horseboy confessed. IIo
had seen both horso and rider, but
know neither. Mr. Austin and tho
stranger hud arrived together, and tho
luttcr hud gono on. That wns tho
truth.
"Ilucno I" Law released his prisoner,
who slunk away rubbing his shoulder.
"Now, Benito, we will find Mr. Aus
tin." A volco answered from the dusk:
"Ho won't tako much finding," nnd Ed
Austin himself emerged from tho stablo
door. "Well, what do you want?"
"You nro Mr. Austin, I reckon?"
"I am. What d'you mean by abus
ing my help?" Tho master of Luh Pal
mas approached so ncur that his
threatening scowl wns visible. "I don't
allow strangers to prowl around my
premises."
Amazed by this hostile greeting, Law
YAtBNTYW'
"I Don't Know Anything About You."
explained In a word the reason for his
presence.
"I don't know anything about your
man. What, d'you want him for. and
who aro you?"
Davo Introduced himself. "I wnnt
1dm for stealing Guzman's calves. I
trailed him from whero ho and his
partner cut Into your south pasture."
Benito stirred and muttered an oath,
but Austin was unmoved. "I reckon
you must bo a bad trailer," ho laughed.
"Wo've got no thieves hero. What
makes you Ihluk Guzman lost uuy
calves?"
Dave's temper, uover too well con
ttcUcd at I'osC begun to ruto. Uo could
mlL Vfv
TjuCVIVW Fin J
V
not Imagine why a person of Ed Aus
tin's standing should behave in this
extraordinary manner, unless, perhaps,
he was drunk.
"Well, I snw the calves, nnd I left
tho fellow that was branding them
with n wot saddlo blanket over his
face."
"Eh? What's that?" Austin start
ed, and Gonzalez uttered n smothered
exclamation. "You killed him? He's
dead?"
"Dead enough to skin. I caught him
with his irons In tho flro and tho calves
necked up in your pasture. Now I
want his compancro."
"I hope you don't think wo know
anything nbout him," Ed protested.
"Where's that man on tho sorrel
horso?"
Austin turned away with a shrug.
"You rodo in with him," Davo per
sisted. Ed wheeled quickly. "IIow do you
know I did?"
"Your boy saw you."
Tho ranchman's voice wns harsh as
ho said : "Look here, my friend, yon're
on tho wrong track. Tho fellow I was
with had nothing to do with this af
fair. Would you know your man? Did
you get n look at him?"
"No. But I reckon Don RIcnrdo
could tell his horse."
"Humph l" Austin grunted, dlsngree
ably. "So Just for that you come
prowling around threatening my help,
eh? Trying to frame up n case, may
bo? Well, It don't go. I wns out with
one of Tad Lewis men."
"Whnt was his name?" Davo man
aged to inquire.
"Drhlna. IIo had n sorrel under him,
hut there nro thousands of sorrel
horses."
"Whnt time did you meet him?"
"I met him nt noon, and I'vo been
with him ever since. So you sco you're
wrong. I presumo your man doubled
back and Is lnughlng at you."
Law's first buwlldcrment had given
plnco to a black rage; for tho moment
ho wns In danger of disregarding the
reason for "Young Ed's" Incivility and
giving rein to his pnsslon, but ho
checked himself In time.
"Would you mind telling mo what
you nnd this Urblnn wcro doing?"
Austin laughed mockingly. "That's
my business," said he.
Dnvo moistened his lips, no hitched
his shoulders nervously. Ho wns aston
ished at his own self-control, though
tho certainty tlmt Austin wns drunk
helped him to stendy himself. Never
theless, ho dared not trust himself to
speak.
Construing this silence ns an ac
knowledgment of defeat, Ed turned to
go. Somo tardy sense of duty, how-
over, prompted him to lllng back, care
lessly :
"I supposo you'vo come a good ways.
If you're hungry. Benito will show you
tho way to tho kitchen." Then ho
wulkcd away Into tho darkness, fol
lowed by tli shocked gnzo of his
range boss.
Benito roused himself from his
amazement to say, warmly: "SI, coin
padre. You will enjoy a cup of hot
coffee."
But Law ground out fiercely: "I'm
not used to kitchen hand-oiUs. I reck
on I can chew my bridle reins if I get
too hungry." Walking to his horse, he
vnulted Into tho saddle.
Benito laid n hand upon his thigh
nnd apologized. "Sonor Ed Is a strange
man. He Is often llko this lately. You
understand mo? Will you como to my
houso for supper?"
"Thank you, but I think I'll rldo on
to Tad Lewis' nnd see Urblnn."
At this tho Mexican shook his head
as Ir npprehenslvo of tho. result, but ho
said nothing more.
Law hesitated as ho was nbout to
spur out of tho yard. "IJy tho way."
ho ventured, "you needn't mention this
to Mrs. Austin."
"She Is not here," Gonzalez told him.
"Sho has gono to La Ferln to see about
her affairs. Sho would not permit of
this occurrenco If she woro at home.
She Is u very Hno lady."
"Yes. Good night, Benito."
"Good night, senor."
When the Hanger had gone, Gonza
lez walked slowly toward his house,
with his head bowed thoughtfully.
"It Is very Htrange," ho muttered.
"How could Don Eduanlo havo met
this Gurza at noon when, vylth my own
eyes, I saw him ride away from Las
L'almns nt threo o'clock In tho after
noon? It Is very strange."
CHAPTER VIII.
Following Up the Trail.
Dnve was glad that he had swal
lowed "Young Ed's" Incivility, not only
for his own sake, but for tho sake of
Alnlre. After all, he argued, It was
barely possible that Ed had spoken the
truth. There were mnny sorrel horses;
the evidence of those rnln-wnshcd hoof
prints wns far from conclusive; even
the fact that Urblnn belonged to tho
Tnd Lewis outfit was no more than n
suspicious clrcumstnnce. And yet, ear
nestly as ho strove to convince himself
of those possibilities, tho ltangcr could
not down the conviction that the ranch
er hnd lied and that ho himself was on
tho right track.
It was lato when he arrived at his
destination, but Lewis' houso wns dark,
nnd It required somo effort to awaken
tho owner. When Tud nt Inst ap
peared, clad In undershirt nnd trou
sers, ho greeted the Banger with n lev
eled rlile; but when Dnvo had
made known his Identity, he invited
him In, though with surly reluctnncc.
Lewis was a sandy-complexloncd
man of about forty, with colorless
brows and n mean, shifty eye. For
merly a cowboy, ho hnd by tho exer
cise of somo natural ability acquired a
good property and a bad reputation.
Just how or why he had prospered
was a mystery which his neighbors
never tired of discussing.
Tnd, It seemed, resented any Inter
ruption of his rest, and showed the
fact plainly.
Yes, he employed a fellow named
Urblnn. What was wanted of him?
Law explained briefly.
"Why, he's one of my best menl"
laughed tho rancher. "Ho wouldn't
stenl nothing."
"Well, I hnd to shoot another good
man of yours," Dave said quietly.
Lewis fell back n step. "Which one?
Who?" lie Inquired quickly.
"Pino Gnrza." Dave told of tho
meeting nt tho branding flro nnd Its
outcome. He was nware, meanwhile,
that Lewis' family were listening, for
behind a half-open bedroom door ho
could hear an excited whispering.
"Killed tho first shot, eh?" Tad was
dumfounded. "Now, I never thought
Pino wns that bad. But you never can
tell about theso Grensers, can you?
They'll nil steal If they get n chance.
I let Pino go, 'bout n week bnck; but
he's been hnngln' nround, nlmln' to
visit some of his relatives up In the
brush country. It was probably one
of them old Guzman saw. Anyhow, It
couldn't of been Adolfo Urblnn; he
was over to Las Palmns nil tho after
noon." "Did you send him there?"
"Sure. Ed Austin can tell you."
"Where Is Urblnn now?"
"I reckon bo's asleep somewhere.
We'll dig him up and talk to him, If
you sny so."
But Adolfo Urblnn wns nowhero to
bo found. No one had seen him slnco
nbout seven o'clock, nor could it bo dis
covered whero ho was spending the
night. Davo rcmcniber,ed that It had
been about seven when ho left Las l'al
mns, and nscertuined, indirectly, that
Tad had n telephone. On his way from
Austin's Law had stopped at a rancho
for n blto to eat, but ho could forgive
himself for tho dclny if, ns ho sur
mised, Urblnn had been warned by
wire of his coming.
"That's too bad, ain't it?" Lewis
said. "But ho'll be around ngnln In the
morning, and I'll get him for you. You
lenvo It to me."
Thero was plainly nothing to do but
accept this offer, since It could nvall
nothiug to wait hero for Urblna's re
turn. Unless the fellow gave himself
up, ho probnbly could not bo found,
now that tho nlarm was given, without
a considerable search In view of
which Dave finally remounted his bor
rowed horso and rode away In tho di
rection of Jonesvllle.
It was after daylight when ho dis
mounted stiffly nt Blnzo's gate. Ko
was wet to tho skin and bespattered
with mud; ho had been almost con
stantly In tho saddlo for twenty-four
hours, nnd Don Illcardo's cow pony
was nlmost exhausted.
Blazo and Pulomn, of course, wcro
tremendously Interested In his story.
"Say, now, Hint's quick work," the
latter exclaimed, heartily. "You're
some thlef-buster, Dave, nnd If you'll
Just stay nround hero little calves can
grow up with some comfort."
When Dave rodo to Jonesvllle, nftcr
breakfast, he found that tho body of
bis victim had been brought In during
the night, nnd thnt the town was al
ready buzzing with news of the encoun
ter. During tho forenoon Don Ulcardo
and his sons arrived, bringing addi
tional Information, which they prompt
ly Imparted to tho Hanger. Tho Guz-
ninns wero people of action. All three
of them had spent tho night on horse
back, and Pedro had mndo a discovery.
On tho day previous Garza hnd been
seen riding In company with n mnn
astrldo a sorrel pony, and this mnn
hnd been recognized as Adolfd Urblnn.
Pedro's witness would swear It.
Their distance from Las Talmas nt
tho tlrao when they had been seen to
gether proved beyond question thnt un
less Urblnn hnd flown ho could not
havo nrrlved nt tho place In qucstlou
by noon, the hour Ed Austin had fixed.
This significant bit of Informntlon,
however, Dave advised tho Guzmans
not to make public for tho time being.
Toward midday Tad Lewis and three
of his men arrived with the news that
Urblnn hnd left for Pueblo before they
could Intercept him.
"He's got a girl up there, and ho
gone to get married," Tnd explained.
Tin sure sorry we missed him."
Davo smiled grimly nt the spenker.
"Are you sure ho didn't cross to the
other side?" lie asked.
Lewis retorted warmly: "Adolfo's an
all-right hombre, nnd I'll back him.
So'U Ed Austin. I guess jne nn Ed
nro responsible, oln't wo?" Some
skeptical expression in his hearer's
face prompted him to inquire, brusque
ly, "Do you believe what I'm telling
you nbout his goln' to Pueblo?"
"I guess he's gone somewhere."
Tud uttered an angry exclamation.
"Looks to mo llko you'd mndo up your
mind to snddlo this thing onto him
whether he done It or not. Well, he's
n poor Mexican, but I won't stnnd to
sec him railroaded, und neither will
'Young Ed.' "
"No?"
"You heard met Ed will alibi him
complete."
Law answered sharply: "You tell Ed
Austin to go slow on his alibis. And
you tako this for what it's worth to
you: I'm going to get nil the cattlo
rustlers In this county all of them,
understand?"
Lewis Hushed redly nnd sputtered:
"If you mnko this stick with Adolfo,
nobody'll bo safe. I reckon Urblna's
word Is as good ns old HIcardo's. Ev
erybody knows what he Is."
Later when Davo met tho Guzmans,
Hlcardo told him, excitedly, "Thai
horse Tad Lewis Is riding Is the one 1
saw yesterday."
"Aro you sure?"
"Listen, senor. Men In cities remem
ber the faces they see; I havo lived
all my life nmong horses, nnd to ran
they lire like men. I seldom forget."
"Very well. Tnd says Urblnn hna
gone to Pueblo to pet married, so I'm

going to follow him, nnd I shall be
there when he arrives."
"Buenot Another matter" RIcardo
hesitated "your bonltu the pretty
mare. She Is burled deep."
"I'm glad," said Dave. "I think I
shall sleep better for knowing that."
Slnco the recent rain had rendered
tho black valley roads Impassable for
automobiles, Davo decided to go to
Pueblo by rail, even though It was a
roundabout wny, and thnt nfternoon
found him Jolting over tho leisurely
miles between Jonesvllle nnd the mnln
line. lie was looking forward to a
good night's sleep when he nrrlved nt
the Junction; but on boarding the
north-bound through train be encoun
tered Judgo Ellsworth, who had Just
heard of tho Garza killing, and ot
course wns eager for details. The two
men sat In the observntion car talking
until u Into hour.
Knowing tho Judgo for a man of
honor nnd discretion, Dave unburdened
himself with tho utmost freedom re
garding his suspicions of Ed Austin.
Ellsworth nodded. "Yes, Ed ha
thrown In with the rebel Junta lu San
Antone, and Tad Lewis Is the man they
use to run nrms nnd supplies In this
neighborhood. That's why he nnd Ed
nro so friendly. Urblnn Is probnbly
your cattle thief, but ho has n hold
over Ed, and so ho rodo to Las Pnlmna
when lie was pursued, knowing that no
jury would convict him over Ed Aus
tin's testimony."
"Do j oil think Ed would perjurw
himself?" Davo asked.
"Ho has gone clean to tho hnd late
ly; there's no telling whnt he'll da I'd
hute to see you crowd him, Dave.
"They call you the best lawyer lu
this county because you settle so many
cases out of court." The Judge smiled
at this. "Well, hero's a chanco for you
to do the county a good turn und keep
Ed Austin out of trouble."
"How?"
"Tho prpsecutlng attorney Is n new
man, nnd ho wants to make u reputa
tion by breaking up the Lewis gang."
"Well?"
"IIo Intends to cinch Urblnn. on HI
cardo's and my testimony. You're u
friend of Austin's ; you'd better tip him
to set his watch ahead a few hours and
save himself a lot of trouble. The
prosecuting attorney don't like Ed any
too well. Understand?"
Tho Judgo pondered this suggestion
for n moment. " 'Young Ed' Is n queer
fellow. Onco In u whllo ho gets bin
neck bowed."
As the situation develops in
tho next Installment, Mrs. Aus
tin finds trouble Increasing for
her. Dave Law picks up somo
important evidence.

OHM
No Financial Depression, and
None Since the War Began.
A well-known correspondent
it of nn J
r recent- T U
Western &
i the rS j
Into con-
Importnnt Western dally paper
ly made an extended visit to
Canndn, nnd In summing up
suits, after going thoroughly Into con
dltlons there, says there Is no financial
depression In Canada, nor hns thero
been anything of the sort since tho
wnr began. Anyone who bus watched
tho barometer of trade, and scon tho
bnnk clearings of tho different cities
grow nnd continue to grow will hnve
arrived at the same conclusion. Tho
trade statistics reveal a like situation.
The progress that tho farmers nro
making Is highly satisfactory. As this
correspondent says: "It Is true thero
have been ndnptatlons to meet new
conditions, nnd taxes have been re
vised, nnd that a very large burden of
added expense In many lines has been
assumed, but It hns all been done me
thodically, carefully nnd with full re
gard for tho resources to bd called on
"That this has been done fairly nnd
wisely Is proved by the present com
fortable financial position.
"With tho exception of n restricted
area in the east, Canada is not an in
dustrial country. The greater portion
of the Dominion must be clnsscd.as
agricultural area, with only an Infini
tesimal part of It fully developed.
"Lacking complete development, tho
ngrlculturnl portion of Canada has
naturally pluced Its mnln dependence
upon fewer resources thnn would bo
the case In the States. Even In ffeer'2j
times, Dusiness wouiu no suuject to
more frequent and wider fluctuations,
duo to the narrower foundation upon
which It rests.
"Thus, Canada has been able to
come up to the war with efficiency and
sufllcicncy nnd to maintain and even
advance Its civilian activities.
"Canada's first element of financial
strength lay In Its branch bank sys
tem. This system has two great ad
vantages: It makes the financial re
sources of the Dominion fluid so thnt
supplies of capital can run quickly
from the high spots to the low spots;
nlso, It places at the command of each
Individual branch the combined re
sources of the whole institution so
thnt there Is an efficient safeguard
against severe strain nt nny ono
point.
"Here In Winnipeg, the nil-Canada
banking houses maintain big, stron
branches nnd, ns elsewhere In tho
Dominion these held to nn attitude of
saneness and solidity thnt prevented
even tho start of any financial dis
turbance. That business generally Is now com
ing strong on an even keel Is lnrgely
due to the absolute refusal of tho
banks, both branch nnd Independent,
to exhibit the slightest signs of ex
citement or npprehenslveness.
"For nil Canada tho savings bank
figures nre astonishing. Beginning with
1913, they nre, for the fiscal year end
ing March 31:
1913 ?022,O2S,9G3
191-1 G03,050,?30
1915 083,701,432
1917 888,705,098
"Theso figures represent what Cana
dians hnve put away after paying tho
Increased living cost, which Is nbout
the same as In the States, all lncreas
es In taxes and imports of all kinds
made necessary by the war nnd gen
erous subscriptions to war bond Is
sues. "Prohibition has helped greatly In
keeping the money supplies circulat
ing In tho normal, necessary channels.
Tradesmen generally attribute a largo
part of tho good flnnnclnl condition to
tho fact that the boozo bill has been
eliminated. Canada takes law enforce
ment with true British seriousness.
"Financially, as In every other re
spect, Canada hns developed sufficien
cy. She has done It In spite of Initial
conditions which would not look prom
ising in the States and she has done It
Jn n big, strong wny.
"One of tho best things we did," said
ono of the leading Winnipeg bankers
to me, "wns to decide early 'In tho
gnmo that wo simply would not borrow
trouble.
"Wo started In ignorance of lmw the
wnr would develop and without know
ing exnetly what our resources were,v"
and hnd to find the way.
MAnd yet Canadians nre not overbur
dened with taxes nor aro they com
plaining of them. For tho common
people there has been but a slight tax
lncrense, If any, in n direct wny. In
direct payments, of course, nro mado
