Longorlo broke In with n snarl: "Is
It my fault thnt the country Is In
.arms? Military necessity compels mo
to remain here. I consider myself
mngnnnlmous. I " Ills volco cracked,
and he mnde n dlspnlrlng, violent ges
ture. "Go, before I change my mind."
Davo Blgnnlcd to tho others, nnd
Alalre slipped nway to make herself
ready. During the uncomfortable bI
1enco which succeeded her deparlaro,
Longorlo paced tho room, keeping his
eyes resolutely turned nway from Law.
"Do you mean that I, too, may go?"
O'Malley Inquired.
"What good ore you to mo?" snapped
ithc general.
"You will give us safe conduct?"
"lie still, priest I" Longorlo glared
-at tho spenker, clasping and unclasping
his lists behind bis back.
With the sound of hoofs outside,
Alalre and Dolores nppearcd, nnd tho
Mexican straightened himself with nn
effort
"Adlos, senorn I" ho said, with a stiff
bow. "Wo hnve had n pleasant friend
ship nnd n thrilling flirtation, eh? I
hall never censo to regret that fnto
Interrupted at such an Interesting mo
ment. Adlos I Adlos I" lie bowed
tformnlly, In turn to Dnve nnd to tho
priest, then resumed his pacing, with
ills hands at his back nnd his brow
furrowed as If In a struggle with af
fairs of greater moment than this.
But when ho heard tho outside door
creak shut behind them his Indifference
vanished nnd ho halted with head
turned In nn effort to catch tho last
uounds of their depnrture. Ills fnco
wus like tallow now, his lips wero
drawn back from his teeth as If In su
premo ngony. A moment and the hoof
beata had died nway. Then Longorlo
clipped his leash.
IIo uttered n cry n hoarse, half
strangled shriek that toro his throat.
IIo plucked tho collar from bis nook nn
if It choked blm; he bent his breast.
Seizing whatever article his eye fell
upon, ho toro and crushed It ; he swept
tho table clean of Its queer Spanish
bric-a-brac, nnd trampled tho litter un
dcr his heels. Spying n painting of n
alnt upon the wall, he ran to It, ripped
it from its nail, and, raising It over his

'iicnd, smashed frame und glass, cursing
all 6ulnts, nil priests, and churchly pco
jlite. Ilavoc followed him as ho raged
about tho placo wreaking hla fury upon
inuulinuto objects. When ho had well
'Plgh wrecked the contents of tho room,
Jnd when his first paroxysm had spent
tts violence, he hurled himself into n
chulr, 'writhing In ngony. IIo bit hla
wrists, ho pounded his lists, ho kicked;
finally ho sprnwlcd full length upon tho
floor, clawing nt tho cool, smooth tiles
until his mills bled.
"Chrhtl O Christ l" ho screamed.
Tho sound of his blasphemies
reached tho llttlo group of soldiers who
had lingered curiously outside, nnd
t'icy listened open-mouthed. One by
no they crossed themselves nnd stole
mvny Into tho darkness, muttering.
CHAPTER XXIV.
A Grateful Peon.
"With n singing heart Alnlrc rode
'through tho night nt her husband's
6lde. Tho strain of the lust few hours
had been bo intense, tho relief nt her
deliverance so keen, that now sho felt
curiously weuk, and she kept closo to
Dave, comforted by bis nenrness nnd
securo In tho knowledge of his strength.
Although he was unusually taciturn
wnd rodo with his chin upon his breast,
sho attributed his sllonco to fntiguo.
Now und then, therefore, sho spurred
to his sldo nnd spoko softly, caressing
ly. At such times ho reached for her
hand nnd clung to It.
Davo was Indeed wenry; ho wns, in
fact. In u sort of stupor, nnd not Infre

iln his saddle. Some two hours out

"If that bandit really means to Bpnre
us, why did ho send us nway In tho
night, like this?" sho asked. "I shall
bo surprised If wo arc not assassinated
before morning."
"IIo must have meant It" Alnlro
spoko with a conviction sho did not
entirely feel. "Father O'Mallcy aroused
the finer sldo of his nature."
"Perhaps," agreed tho priest "Some
where In him there Is n fenr of God."
But Davo was skeptical. "More like
ly n fear of tho gringo government,"
said he. "Longorlo Is a fourflusher.
When ho realized ho wna licked ho
tried to nave his face by a grandstand
play. IIo didn't want to let us go."
"Then whnt la to prevent him from
well, from having us followed?"
Alalre Inquired.
"Nothing," Davo told her.
As they climbed tho bank nnd rodo
onward into tho night sho said: "No
matter what happens, denr, I shall bo
happy, for at last one of my drenms
has como true." He reached out and
patted her. "You'vo no Idea whnt n
coward I was until you came. But tho
moment I saw you nil my fears van
ished. I was Hko a lost child who sud
denly sees Its father; In your arms I
felt perfectly Bnfe, for the first time In
nil my life, I think. I I couldn't bear
to go on without you, nftcr tills."
Davo found nothing to sny; tbey
rode along side by side for n time In
n grent contentment that required no
speech. Then Alalro asked :
"Dear, have you considered how wo
nro going to explain our murrlage?"
"Won't tho circumstances explain
It?" ,
"Pnrlinna Anrl vnr Tr conmn nrPH
since I learned what happened to Ed.
but In reality It's only a few hours.
Won't pcoplo talk?"
Davo caught nt tho suggestion. "I
see. Then let's keep it secret for tho
present"
With a llttlo reckless laugh sho con
fessed, "I I'm afraid I'll And It diffi
cult to be conventional."
"My wife I" ho cried In sharp agony.
Lcnnlng far out he encircled her with
his arm; then, half lifting her from
her saddle, he crushed his lips to hers.
It was his first display of emotion nlnce
Father O'Malley had united them.
There were few villages along the
road they followed, and because of the
lateness of tlw hour all were dark,
hence tho party passed through with
out exciting nttentlon except from nn
occasional wnkeful dog. But us morn
ing canio nnd the east began to glow
Dave told tho priest:
"We've got to hldo out during the
day or we'll get Into trouble. Besides,
these women must be getting hungry."
"I fear there Is something feminine
about me," confessed tho llttlo man.
"I'm famished, too."
At the next rnncho they enmc to they
nppllcd for shelter, but wero denied;
In fact, tho owner cursed them so
roundly for being Amcrlcnns that they
wero glad to rldo onward. A mllo or
two farther along they met a curt tho
driver of which refused to answer
their greetings. As they passed out of
his sight they saw that ho had halted
his lean oxen nnd was staring after
them curiously. Later, when tho sun
was well up and tho world had fully
awakened, they descried n mounted
man, evidently n cowboy, riding
through tho chnparral. He saw them,
too, and enmo toward tho road, but
after n brief scrutiny ho whirled his
horse nnd galloped off through tho cac
tus, shouting something over his shoul
der. "This won't do," O'Mnlloy declared,
uneasily. "I don't llko tho nctlons of
theo people. Let mo appeal to tho
next person wo meet. I can't bellevo
they all hato us."
Soon they enme to n rlso In tho rond,
nnd from the crest of this elevation be
held abend of them a small vlllago of
white houses Bhlnlng from tho shelter
of n grove. Tho rnncherln was perhaps
two miles nway, and galloping toward
It wns tho vnquero who had challenged
them.
"That's the Itio Negro crossing,"
Davo announced. Then spying n llttlo
house squatting a short dlstnnco back
from tho road, ho said: "Wo'd better
try yonder. If they turn us down we'll
have to take to tho brush."
O'Malley agreed. "Yes, nnd wo huvo
no time to lose. That horsemnu Is go
ing to rouso tho town. I'm ufrald
we're in for It."
Davo nodded silently,
Leaving tho beaten path, tho rcfu -
gees threaded their way through cue-
tus and sago to n gate, entering which
they approached tho straw-thatched
Jucal they had seen. A naked boy baby
watched them draw near, then scuttled
for shelter, piping nn alarm. A man
nppenred from somewhere, nt sight of
wlinm the priest rode forward with n
plensiint greeting. But tho follow wus
unfriendly. His wife, too, emerged from
tho dwelling and Joined her husband In
warning Father O'Malley away.
"Lot mo try," Alalro begged, and
spurred her horso up to the group. Sho
smiled down at tho country people,
saying: "Wo hnvo traveled a long
,wuy, and we'ro tired nnd hungry.
Won't you glvo us something to cut?
We'll ouy you well for your trouble."
Tho man demurred sullenly, and be
gan n refusal; but his wife, after a
wondering scrutiny, Interrupted him
with n cry. Bushing forward, she took
the edge of Alutro's skirt In her hands
and kissed It
"God be praised I A miracle l" she
exclaimed. "Juan, don't you sec? It is
tho beautiful senorn for whom wo pray
every night of our lives. On your knees,
shameless one I It Is sho who delivered
you from tho prison."
Juan stared unbelievingly, then his
face changed; his teeth Unshed In a
smile, and, sweeping his hat from his
head, he, too, approached Alalre.
"It la I Senoru, I am Juan Garcia,
whom you saved, and this 18 Inez," ho
declared. "Heaven bless you nnd for
give me."
"Now I know you," Alalre laughed,
and slipped down from her saddle.
"This is a happy meeting. Sol You
live here, and that was llttlo Juan who
ran away as If wo were going to cat
him. Well, we are hungry, but not
hungry enough to devour Junnlto."
Turning to her companions, sho ex
plained the circumstances of her first
meeting with these good people, nnd ns
she talked the Gurclas broke In Joy
fully, nddlng their own nccount of her
goodness.
"We've fallen nmong friends," Alalre
told Davo and Father O'Malley. "They
will let us rest here, I am sure."
Husband nnd wlfo ngi cd in one
voice. In fact, they wero overjoyed at
nn opportunity of serving her; nnd lit
tle Juan, his suspicious partially al
layed, Issued from hiding nnd waddled
forwnrd to take part In the welcome.
Shnmefncedly tho elder Garcia ex
plained his Inhospltnblo reception of
tho travelers. "Wo henr tho gringos
nro coming to kill us nnd take our
farms. Everybody Is badly frightened.
Wo nro driving our herds away and
hiding what we can. Yesterday nt the
big Obispo ranch our people shot two
Americana nnd burned some of their
houses. They intend to kill all the
Americans they find, so you'd better be
careful. Just now a fellow rodo up
shouting thnt you were coming, but of
course I didn't know "
"Yes, of course. We're trying to
reach tho border," Father O'Malloy told
him. "Will you hldo us hero until we
can go on?"
Juan curtsied respectfully to tho
priest. "My houso Is yours, father."
"Can you tnke care of our horses,
too, and give us n place to sleep?"
Dave asked. Ills eyes wero heavy ; ho
had been almost constnntly In the snd
dle since leaving Joncsvllle, and now
could hardly keep himself awake.
"Trust me," tho Moxlcnn assured
them, confidently. "If somebody comes
I'll send them away. Oh, I can llo with
the best of them."
The Gurclas wero not ordinary peo
ple, and lliey lived In rather good cir
cumstances for country folk. There
wero threo rooms to their llttlo house,
nil of which wero reasonably clean.
The food thnt Inez set beforo her
guests, too, wns excellent If scanty.
Junnlto, taking cue from his parents,
flung lilmself whole-henrtcdly Into tho
task of entertainment, nnd since Alalre
met bis advances half-way ho began,
beforo long, to look upon her with par
ticular favor. Onco they hnd thorough
ly made friends, ho showered her with
tho most llatterlng attentions. His
shyness, It seemed, wns but u pretense
nt heart ho wns a bold and enterpris
ing' fellow nnd so, ns n murk of his
admiration, ho presented her with all
his personal treasures. First he
fetched and laid in her lap a clgur-box
wagon with wooden wheels evidently
tho handiwork of his fnthcr. Then ho
gave her, ono by one, a highly prized
blue bottle, n rusty Mexican spur, nnd
the ruins of whnt had been a splendid
cisp-knlfo. Tliero wero no blades lu
Iho knife, but ho showed her how to
peep through a tiny hole In the bundle,
whero was concealed the picture of n
dashing Spanish bull-fighter. Tho ap
preciation which these gifts evoked In
toxicated the little man und roused him
to n very madness of generosity. Ho
pattered nway and returned shortly,
staggering nnd grunting under tho
weight of nnothcr nnd n still greater
offering. It wns a dog a patient,
hungry dog with very llttlo hair. Tho
animal was nllvo with Hens It
scratched absent-mindedly with ono
hind paw, even while Junnlto strangled
It ngnlnst his unked breast but It was
the applo of its owner's eye, and when
Inez unfeelingly banished It from tho
, houc Junnlto began to squall lustily
Nor could ho bo conciliated until Alnlro
took blm upon her kneo nnd told him
about another boy, of precisely his own
ago nnd size, who planted a magic bcun
In his mother's dooryard, which grew
up and up until It reached clear to tho
sky, whero n giunt lived. Junnlto Gnr
cln had uover lienrd tho like. Ho was
spellbound with delight; he held his
breath In ccstnsy ; ouly his toes moved,
and they wriggled like ten fat, brown
tadpoles.
In tho midst of this recltnl Garcia
senior appeared in tho door with n
wnrnlng.
"Concent yourselves,' bo said, quick
ly. "Somo of our neighbors nro com
ing tills way." Inez led her guests In
to tho bedchamber, a bare room with a
dirt floor, from the window of which
they watched Juun gn to meet a group
of horsemen. Inez nt out too, and
Joined In tho parley. Then, after a
time, tho riders galloped nway.
When Alalre, having watched tha
party out of Bight turned from tho
window she found thnt Dave had col
lapsed upon n chair and wns sleeping,
ills limbs relaxed, bis body sagging.
"Poor fellow, he's done up," Father
O'Mnlloy exclaimed.
"Yes ; he hasn't slept for dnys," she
whispered. "Help me." With the as
sistance of Dolores they succeeded In
lifting Dave to the bed, but he half
roused himself. "Lie down, dear,"
Alalro told him. "Closo your eyes for
a few minutes. We'ro safe now."
"Somebody has to keep watch," ho
muttered, thickly, and tried to fight off
his fatigue. But ho was like n drunken
man.
"I'm not sleepy; I'll stand guard,"
tho priest volunteered, nnd, dlsregnrd
ig further protest, ho helped Alalro
remove Dnve's coat
Seeing thnt the bed was nothing
more than a board platform covered
with straw matting, Alalre folded tho
garment for n pillow; ns she did so n
handful of soiled, frayed letters spilled
out upon the floor.
"Rest now, while you have a chance,"
sho begged of' her husband. "Just for
a little while."
"All right," ho agreed. "Call me In
an hour. Couldn't sleep wasn't
time." He shook off hla weariness nnd
smiled nt his wife, while his eyes
filmed with some emotion. "Thero la
something I ought to tell you, but I
can't now not now. Too sleepy." His
hend drooped again; she forced him
bnck; ho stretched himself out with a
sigh, nnd wns asleep almost lnstnntly.
Alalro motioned tho others out of
tho room, then stood looking down at
the man into whose keeping she had
given her life. As she looked her fnco

unshaven, dirty, but to her ho was of a

phasizing tho neod for team play by
tho forces of American thought and
opinion.
Welcoming tho leaders of the movo
ment at the "Whlto Houso In a brlof
speech the president oxprcssed tho
belief that American public opinion,
although understanding tho war's
causes and principles, needed guid
ance to remember that tho war should
end only when Germany is beaten and
Germany's rule of autocracy and
might aro superceded by tho Ideals
of democracy.
This Is the Issue which tho Amer
ican people should always keep in
mind, tho president said, In order to
avoid bolng misled Into byways of
thought and the resultant scattering
of tho forco of public opinion.
Talk of oarly peace before Gormany
is defeated is ono of the evidences of
misdirected thought, ho suggested, and
should not cloud tho vision of thoso
who understand that tho United
States is fighting now for tho same
ideals of democracy and freedom that
havo always actuated tho nation.
Tho president gave warning that it
should not bo forgotton that German
successes would mean not only pro
ventatlon of tho spread of democracy,
hut possibly tho suppression of that
already existing.
