"Drenm-mnnl' she murmured.
As consciousness returns after a
swoon, so did realization return to
Alalro Austin. Faintly, uncertainly at
first, then with a Bwlft, strong effort,
she pushed herself out of Dave'B reluc
tant arms. They stood apart, fright
ened. Dave's gaze was questioning.
Alalro began to tremble and to struggle
with her breath.
"Are we mud?" sho gasped. "What
have wo dono?"
"Thero's no use fighting. It was
l,ere it was bound to como out. Oh,
Alalro II"
"Don't I" Sho shook her head, and,
uvoldlng his outstretched hands, went
to the edge of the vernndn and leaned
weakly against a pillar, with her head
In the crook of her arm. Davo fol
lowed her, but the words ho spoko
wero scarcely Intelligible.
Finally sho raised her faco to his:
"No I It Is useless to deny It now
that wo know. But I didn't know, un
til a moment ago."
"I've known all the time ever Blnco
tho first moment I saw you," ho told
her, hoarsely. "To mo you'ro all there
Is ; nothing elso matters. And you Idvo
me I I wonder If I'm awake."
"Dream-man," she repented, moro
slowly. "Oh, why did you como bo
lato?"
"So Into?"
"Yes. Wo must1 think It out, tho
best way wo can. I wonder what you
think of mo?"
"You must know. Thero's no need
for oxcuses; there's nothing to explain,
except tho mlraclo that such great
happiness could come to a fellow llko
me.."
"Happiness? It moans anything but
that. I was mlscrablo enough before,
what shall I do now?"
"Why, readjust your life," ho cried,
roughly. "Surely you won't hcsltato
wfter this?"
But Alalro did not seem to hear him.
Sho was staring out Into tho night
x again. "What a fnlluro I must bol"
sho murmured, flnnlly. "I suppose I
should havo seen this coming, but I
didn't. And In his house, tool ThlB
dress is his, and these JowoIb every
thing I" Sho held up her hands and
stared curiously at tho few rings sho
wore, as If seeing them for tho first
time. "IIow does that make you feel?"
Dave stirred; thero was resentment
In his volco when ho nnswered : "Your
husbnnd hriB sacrificed his claim to
you, as everybody knows. To my mind
ho has lost his rights. You'ro mlno,
minel" Ho waved a vigorous gesturo
of defiance. "I'll tnko you away from
him at any cost. I'll sco that ho gives
you up, somehow. You'ro nil I havo."
"Of courso tho law provides n way,
but you wouldn't, couldn't, understand
how I feel about divorce" Tho moro
mention of tho word was difficult, and
caused Alniro to clonch her hands.
"Wo'ro both too shaken to talk sanely
now, so let's wait "
"Thore's somothing you must under
stand beforo wo go any further," Davo
Insisted. "I'm poor; I haven't a thing
I can call my own, so I'm not sure I
havo any right to tako you away from
nil this." Ho turned a hostile eye upon
their surroundings.
"Money means so little, and It's so
enoy to bo happy without it," Alalro
told him. "But I'm not altogether poor.
Of courso everything horo Is Ed's, but
1 bavo enough. All my llfo I'vp had
everything except tho very thing you
offer and how I've longed for that I
How I've envied other peoplo 1 Do you

"Yes! I've something to say about
that. You gavo mo tho right when
you gave that kiss."
Alalro shook her head. "I'm not so
sure. It seems easy now, whllo you
are here, but how will It seem later?
I'm In no condition at this minute to
reason. Perhaps, ns you say, It Is all
a dream; perhaps this feeling I have
la Just a passing frenzy."
Dave laughed softly, confidently.
"It'e too now yot for you to under
Bland hut wait. It Ib frenzy, witch
ery yes, and more. Tomorrow, and
every day after, it will grow and grow
and growl Trust me, I've watched It
la myself."
"So you cared for me from tho very
first?" Alalro questioned. It was tho
woman's curiosity, tho woman's hunger
to bear over and over again that truth
which never falls to thrill and yet
never fully satisfies.
i "Oh, oven beforo that, I think I When
yen camo to my flro that evening In
OM chaparral, I knew every lino of
your face, every movement of your
tody, overy tono of your voice, as a
Han knows and recognizes his Ideal.
But tt took time for mo to realize all
tlut yen meant to mo."
Alalra nodded. "Yes. and It must
bare been the same with mo." Sho
wet Ida eyes frankly, but when ho
reached toward her sho held him away.
"No, dear. Not yet, not again, not

"Please I After I've decided what
to do onco I feel that I can control
myself better Pll send for you. But
you must promise not to como until
then, for you would only mako It
harder."
At last ho took her hand nnd kissed
her wrist, Just over her pulso, ob If
to Bpccd n messngo to her heart, then
Into her rosy palm ho whispered a ten
der something thnt thrilled her.
Sho stood white, motionless, against
tho dim Illumination of the porch until
ho had gone, and not until the last
sound of hln motor had died nwny did
sho stir. Then sho pressed her own
lips to tho pnlm he had caressed and
wnlked slowly to her room.
CHAPTER XVI.
Tho Crash.
Tho Bcvernl days following Dave'B
unexpected call at Las Palmas Alalro
spent In n delightful reverie. Sho had
so often wrestled with tho question of
dlvorco that sho had begun to weary
of It. Sho gavo up trying, nt length,
nnd for tho tlmo being rested content
in tho knowledge thnt sho loved and
wns loved. A week passed whllo sho
hugged her thoughts to her breast, and
then ono evening she rode homo to
lenrn thnt Ed had, returned from Snn
Antonio.
But Ed was 111, nnd ho did not ap
pear nt dinner. It hnd been years
since either hnd dared lnvndo the oth
er's privacy, and now. Inasmuch ob her
husbnnd did not send for her, Alniro
did not prcsumo to offer her services nB
nurso. As n mnttcr of fact, sho con
sidered this quite unnecessary, for Bho
felt Buro that ho was either Buffering
tho customary nftcr-cffectB of a visit to
tho city or elso that ho lacked tho
moral courage to undcrtako nn expla
nation of his hurried flight from tho
ranch. In either event Bho was glad
ho kept to his room.
When Austin mndo his appearance,
on tho day following his return, his
bleared eyes, his puffy, pasty checks,
his shattered nerves, showed plainly
"Dream Manl" Sho Murmured.
enough how ho had spent Ills time. Al
though ho wns Jumpy and irritable, ho
seemed determined by an assumption
of high spirits and exaggerated friend
liness to nvcrt criticism. Slnco Alniro
spared him nil reproaches, his efforts
seemed to meet with admlrablo suc
cess. Now Ed's opinion of women was
not high, for thoso with whom he ha
bitually associated wero of small In
telligence; nnd, seeing that his wlfo
continued to manifest a complete lu
dlffercnco to his past actions, ho de
cided thnt his apprehensions hnd been
groundless. If Alalro remembered tho
Guzman affair at all, or If she had sus
pected him of complicity In It, time had
evidently dulled her suspicions, nnd ho
wns a little sorry he had taken pains
to stay nway so long.
Beforo mnny days, however, ho dis
covered that this Indifference of hers
wns not assumed, and thnt In Bomo
way or other sho hod changed. Ed
was accustomed, when ho returned ex
hausted from a debauch, to seeing In
his wlfo's eyes a strained misery; ho
hnd learned to expect in her benrlng
a sort of pitying, hopeless resignation.
But this tlmo she wns not In tho least
depressed. On tho contrary, sho ap
peared happier, fresher, and youriger
thun he hnd seen her for n long time.
It was mystifying. When, ono morn
ing, ho overhenrd her singing In her
room, ho wns shocked. Over this phe
nomenon ho medltnted with growing
nmnzement nnd n faint stir of resent
ment In his breast, tor ho lived a self
centered life, considering himself tho
pivot upon which revolved all tho af
fairs of his little world. To feel thnt
ho had lost even tho power to mako
his wlfo unhnpny nrgued that ho had
overestimated his Importance.
At length, hnvlng sufficiently recov
ered his health to begin drinking ngnln,
ho yielded ono evening to nn alcoholic
f jav tow
mB- 47 if
Impulse, and, Just as Alalro bado him
good night, cluniBlly sought to forco
an explanation.
"See herol" ho shot at her. "What's
the matter with you lately?" Ho fiaw
that ho had startled her, and that Bhe
mado nn effort to collect her wnnder
irig thoughts. "You'ro nbout ns warm
and wifely ns n stono Idol."
"Am I nny different to what I havo
always been?"
"Humph I You haven't been exactly
sympathetic of late, nere I come homo
sick, and you treat mo llko ono of tho
help. Don't you think I havo feelings?
Jovol I'm lonesome."
Alalro regarded him speculatively,
then shook her hcud as If In nnswer to
somo thought.
In nn obvious and somewhat too mel
low effort to bo friendly, Ed continued :
"Don't let's go on llko this, Alniro. You
blame mo for going nwny so much, but
when I'm home I feel like nn Inter
loper. You treat mo llko a cow-thief."
"I'm sorry. I've tried to bo every
thing I should. I'm tho Interloper."
"Nonsense 1 If wo only got nlong
together ns well ns wo seem to from tho
outside, it wouldn't be bad at nil. But
you'ro too severe. You seem to think
a mnn should bo perfect. Well, none
of us are, nnd I'm no worse thnn the
majority. Why, I know lots of fellows
who forget themselves nnd do things
they shouldn't, but they don't mean
anything by It. They hnve wives and
homes to go to when It's nil over. But
hnvo I? You'ro ns glad to seo me as
if I hnd smallpox. Mnybc we've mndo
n mess of things, but ranrrlcd llfo Isn't
what young girls think It Is. A wife
must leurn to give and take."
"I've glvon. What havo I taken?"
sho asked him In n volco that quivered.
Ed mndo nn Impatient gesture. "Oh,
don't be so literal 1 I mean that, slnco
we're man nnd wife, It's up to you to
bo n little more broad-gauge In your
views."
"In other words, you want mo to Ig
nore your conduct. Is that It? I'm
afraid wo can't nrgue that, Ed."
"All right; don't let's try to arguo
It," ho laughed, with what ho consid
ered nn admirable show of magnanlm
Ity. "I hate arguments, anyhow; I'd
much rather havo a good-night kiss."
But when ho stooped over her Alniro
held him off and turned her head.
"No I" sho said.
"You hnvon't kissed mo for "
"I don't wish to kiss you."
"Don't bo silly," he Insisted. "Come,
now, I want a kiss."
Alalro thrust him back strongly, and
ho snw that her face had whitened.
Oddly enough, her stubbornness an
gered him out of nil reason, and he
began a harsh remonstrance. But he
linked when sho cried:
"Wnltl I must tell you something,
Ed. It's nil over, and hns been for a
long time. We're going to cud It."
"End It?"
"Wo enn't go on living together. Why
should wo?"
"So? Dlvorco? Is thnt It?"
Alniro nodded.
"Well, I'll bo d d I" Ed wns dum-
founded. "Isn't this rather sudden?"
ho managed to inquire.
"Oh, no. You'vo suggested it moro
than once."
"I thought you didn't believe In di
vorces couldn't stomach 'em? What's
happened?"
"I have changed my mind."
"Humph 1 People don't change their
minds in-a minute," ho cried nngrlly.
"Is thero somo other mnn?"
Now Ed Austin had no faintest idea
that his wlfo would nnswer In tho atllr
mntlve, for he had long ugo learned to
put Implicit confidence In her, and her
llfo hnd been so open that he could
not imagine thnt It held n double In
terest. Thereforo her reply struck him
speechless.
"Yes, Ed," sho sold quietly. "Thero
Is nnother man."
It wns llko her not to evade. Sho
had never Hod to him.
Ed's mouth opened; his reddened
eyes protruded. "Well " ho stam
mered. "Well I" Then after n moment :
"Who Is It, tho greaser or tho cow
boy?" Ho lnughed loudly, dlsngree
nbly. "It must bo ono or tho other, for
you haven't seen nny men except them.
Another man I Well, you'ro cool about
It."
"I am glnd you know the truth."
Muttering to himself, Ed mado a
short excursion nround the room, then
paused before his wlfo with a sneer on
his lips. "Did It ever occur to you that
I might object?" ho demanded.
Alniro eyed him scornfully. "What
right hnve you to object?"
Ed could not restrain n mnlevolent
glenm of curiosity. "Say, who Is it?
Ain't I entitled to know thnt much?"
As Alalro remained silent, ho let his
oycjs rovo over her with n kind of angry
appreciation. "You'ro pretty enough to
stnmpedo any man," ho admitted.
"Yes, and you'vo got money, too. I'll
bet It's tho Ranger. nun! Wo'ro
tarrod with tho samo stick."
"You don't really believe that," sho
told him, sharply.
"Why not? You'vo had enough op
portunity. I don't seo anything of you.
Well. I was a fool to trust you."
Alnire's eyes wero very dark nnd
very bright as she said : "I wonder how
I have mannged to live with you aa
long ns I have. I knew you were weak,
nasty so I was prepared for somo
thing like this. But I never thought
you were n downright criminal until "
"Criminal? Rotl"
"How about that Guzman affair?
You can't go much lower, Ed, and you
can't keep me hero with you."
"I can't keep you, eh?" ho growled.
"Well, perhaps not. I suppose you've
got enough on mo to secure n divorce,
but I can nlr some of your dirty linen.
Oh, don't look like that! I menn It!
Didn't you spend n night with Dnvld
Law?" ne leered nt her unpleasantly,
then followed n step ns she drew back.
"Don't you touch mel" she cried.
A flufh was deepening Ed's purplo
cheeks; his voice was peculiarly bru
tal and throaty as he said: "Tho de
cree Isn't entered yet, and so long ns
you nre Mrs. Austin I have rights. Yes,
nnd I Intend toxerclse them. You've
mnde me Jealous, nnd " Ho mndo to
encircle her with his arms, and wns
hnlf successful, but when Alalre felt
the heat of his breath In her face, a
sick loathing sprang up within her,
nnd, setting her bnck against the wall,
she sent him reeling. Whether she
struck him or merely pushed him nwny,
she never knew, for during the Instant
of their struggle she wns blind with In
dignation and fury. Profiting by her
advantage, she dodged past him, fled to
l'cr room, and locked herself In.
She heard him muttering profanely;
hoard him approach her chnmbcr moro
than once, then retire unccrtnlnly, but
she knew him too well to bo nfrnld.
Later that night she wrote two let
ters one to Judge Ellsworth, the other
to Dave Law.
Jose Sanchez rode to the Morales
house feeling somo concern over tho
summons thnt took him thither. He
wondered what could have Induced
General Longorlo to forsa'ke lil's many
Important duties In order to make tho
long trip from Nucvo Pueblo; surely
It could bo duo to no lack of zeal on
his (Jose's) part. No! The horse
breaker flattered hhnscH that he had
mndo a very good spy Indeed ; thnt ho
had been Longorlo's eyes nnd ears so
fnr as circumstances permitted. Nor
did he feel that he had been lax In
mnklng his reports, for through Kosa
he had written the general several
lengthy letters, nnd Just for good meas
ure these two had conjured up sundry
lmaglnnry happenings to prove beyond
doubt that Senora Austin was miser
ably unhnppy with her husbnnd, nnd
ready to welcome such n dashing lover
as Longorlo. Therefore Jose could not
for the life of him Imagine wherein
he had been remiss. Nevertheless, he
wns uneasy, nnd ho hoped that nothing
had occurred to anger his general.
But Longorlo, when he nrrlved nt tho
meeting-place, was not in a bad humor.
Having sent Rosa nwny on some er
rand, ho turned to Jose with n flashing
smile, nnd snld:
"Well, my good friend, the time hns
come."
Now Jose had no faintest Idea what
the general was talking about, but to
bo called the good friend of so Illustri
ous n person wns flattering. He nod
ded decisively.
"Yes, beyond doubt," he agreed.
The general laid an nffectlonnte hand
upon Jose's shoulder. "The flrst tlmo
I saw you I snld : 'There's a boy after
my own heart. I shall learn to lovo
that Jose, and I shall put him In tho
wny of his fortune.' Well, I have not
chnnged my mind, nnd the time la
come. You are going to help me and I
nm going to help you."
Jose Snnchcz thrilled with elation
from head to foot. This promised to
v the greatest day of his life, and ho
iclt that ho must bo dreaming.
"You haven't tired of Rosa, eh? You
still wish to marry her?" Longorlo wns
Inquiring.
"Yes. But of course I nm a poor
man."
"Just so. I shall attend to that.
Now wo come to the object of my visit
Jose, I proposed to make you rich
enough in one day so that you can
murry."

Sulphur and Rheumatism.
One of England's most distinguished
physicians hns Just reported a valuable
piece of Information thnt he learned
from a gossipy old lady who was ad
dicted to the habit of giving medical
advice to her acquaintances, says the
Los Angeles Times. She gave some of
this advice to one of the learned physi
cian's patlcots who was suffering from
rheumatism vn the hands, BXggestlng
that the patient "put sulphur In her
stockings." The pntlent took tho ad
vice and the rheumatism In the hands
disappeared; also n silver ornament
worn on the patient's wrist turned
bluck.
Smaller Buns.

Mr. Crlmsonbeak Yes.
"Too bnd."
"Well, there Is somo hope. You

his buns now."
FENCE COMING INTO ITS OWN
Discarded From One End of Country
to Other, It Is Now Being Revived
In Many Suburban Colonies.
Tho great American fence Is coming
again Into its own.
Time was when every homo every
where gained n Benso of seclusion with
the nld of post, picket or pnilng, but
In recent yenrs these hnvo been con
verted Into firewood from one end of
the country to the other. Suburban
development nnd the brondcnstlng of
tho "homo beautiful" Idea hnd much
to do tho evolution.
In nine enses In ten the change was
for the better. The fence had deteri
orated. From n work of art, In many
lnstnnces designed by the architect of
the home It inclosed, it became a mat
ter of unsightly "pickets," and finally
n solid, forbidding, ugly affair ol
boards, often unrelieved by any effort
nt decoration whatever.
A new Interest In the fence, how
ever, Is developing. It Is manifest In
many fnmous suburbun colonics In the
North, It hns spread westward to wage
war with the unlversnl hedge,
Tho revival grows out of the fact i
that few appreciated the decorative
possibilities of the fence. The white
washed array of pickets, the forbid
ding hldeousncss of the vertical rows
of knotted boards, the equal unlovell
ness of Iron splftes were not represen
tative of the Idea. They were n de
generation born of nn era of utilitari
anism. They deserved the ban thai
came to be placed upon them. Tlu
fence rejuvenation has nothing to dc
with either type. And yet the fenc
thnt Is coming Into its own agnin It
not new. It is n revival from the besi
era of typical American domestic ar
chltecture when the justly famoui
"American Colonlnl" type wns cvolvec
upon English foundntions, but with nr
ndmlxture of origlnnllty which stIL
makes the product noteworthy for dls
Unction and beauty.

Suggestions for Home Builders.
Few persons In plnnnlng the locn

the necessity of hnvlng tho rooms so
plnced as to make them as comfortable
as possible. Little heed Is paid ns to
which way tho lot should face and on
which side of the house certnln rooms
Miould be placed. Careful attention to
what aro considered for the most pnrt
as Immaterial points in building locu
tion nnd design Is very lmportnnt nnd
results In satisfaction nfter the house
Is built.
The lot should face either south
or west and whatever else Is done the
house must suit the ground on which
It Is built. The dining room Is n great
factor, worthy of consideration, nnd It
should be so plnnned ns to hnve south
or enst exposures. If so located It will

Overplantlng of Streets.
There Is no sort of tree grown that

as 25 feet to each other. It Is not
desirable, In any ense, thnt a green
tunnel should be built or that green
wnlls at street sides are desirable or

a tree Is one of Us strongest traits or
points of character and It should havo

natural form nnd outline. Thlrty-flvu

And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $50,000.
Lawrence Bros, of Vera, Saskatche
wan, are looked upon as being nmongst
the most progressive farmers In West
ern Canada. They have had their
"ups-and-downs," nnd know what It
Is to be In tight pinches. They perse
vered, and nre now In an excellent
flnnnclal position. Their story Is nn
Interesting one. Coming In from tho
states they traveled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river, tho
Red Deer river, through the Eagle
nills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen, but this
did not dlshenrten them. They hnd
some money, with which they bought
moro horses, nnd some provisions.
When they reached Battleford they
had only money enough to pny their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river,
nnd this they hnd to borrow. It wns
In 100G that they filed on homestends,
having to sell n shotgun for ten dol
Inrs In order to get sufficient money to
do so. Frank Lnwrence says:
"Since that tlmo we have acquired
altogether a section and n half of
land, In nddition to renting nnother
three qunrters of n section. If wo
nadto se" out now we cou,d Probably
realize about 550,000, nnd have mndo
all this since wo camo here. Wo get
crops In this district of from SO to
35 bushels of wheat to tho acre and
oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the acfo.
Stock hero pays well. We have 1,700
sheep, 70 cattle and CO horses, of which
a number are registered Clydes."
Similar successes might be given of
the experiences of hundreds of farm
ers throughout Western Canada, who
have done comparatively as well. Why
should they not dress well, live well,
have comfortable homes, with nil mod
ern equipments, electric light, steam
heat, pure ventilation, and automo
biles. Speaking of automobiles It will
be a revelation to the reader to learn
that during the flrst half of 1917, 10,
000 automobile licenses were Issued in
Alberta, twice ns mnny ns in the whole
of 1010. In Saskatchewan, 21,000 li
censes were issued up to the first of
May, 1917. In Its monthly bulletin for
June the Cnnndian Bank of Commerce
makes special reference to this phase
and to the general prosperity of the
West in the following:
"Generally speaking the western
farmer is, in many respects, in a much
better position than hitherto to In
crease his production. Two years of
high prices for his products have en
abled him, even with n normal crop,
to liquidate a substantial proportion
of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy Improved farm machinery. His
prosperity Is reflected in the demand
for building mntorlnls motor cars
and other equipment. It Is no doubt
true that some extravagance Is evi
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor enrs, but it must be remembered
that mnny of these cars will make for
efficiency on the farm and economize
both tlmo and labor." Advertisement.
