and whistled. Nell watched tho '
horses. She loved them, never tired
of vouching them. But her gazo wurf ,
too consciously averted from tho
yearning eyes that tried to meet hers
to bo altogether natural.
A great fenced field of velvety green j
alfalfa furnished n rich background
for tho drovo of about twenty whlto
horses. Blanco Diablo was tho only i

not happy unless ho was running, or
fighting n rival. Of the two ho would
rather fight. If anything white 'could
roscinblo a devil, tills horse surely
did. Ho had nothing beautiful about
him, yet ho drew the gazo nnd hold
It. Tho look of. him suggested dis
content, anger, rovolt, vlclousness.
When ho wns not grazing or prancing,
, he held his long, lean bond lovel, point

Boldlng's favorite wns nlmost nil tho

Tho cowboys ndmltted some of

Though ho could not understnnd him

satisfying to the eyes of the rangers.

"I think ho wanted to get rid of

"Do yon love him?" nsked Nell; nnd
now a warm, blue Ilnsh of oyos swept i

"Do I? Well, rather." 1
"I'm glad. Sol hns been finer, n

Dick looked up at hor.
"It'll be be pretty hard to leave Bol j

Nell snt perfectly' still.
"Go away?" sho nsked, presently, ,
with Just tho faintest tremor In her

"Yes. Sometimes when I get blue j

In sober truth, Nell, It's not likely

Thero was no answor to this. Dick

Perhaps that's what alls this fellow."
"Dick, don't laugh," said Nell. "I've

Tho probability of n visit from tho

lng to build n now corral. It wns not
sightly to the eye', but It wasOdgh nnd
exceedingly strong. Tho gate wns u
mnsslve nffnlr, swinging on huge
hinges and fnstenlng with henvy
chains and padlocks.
At night Bcldlng locked his white
horses in this corral. Tho l'npngo
heVdsmen slept In the ndobo shed nd
Joining. Bcldlng did not Imnglnc thnt
nny wooden fence, however substnn
tlnlly built, could keep determined
raiders from breaking It down. They
would bnvo to tnko time, however, nnd
mnko considerable nolso; and Boldlng
relied on these fncts. Holding did not
bc!lec n bnnd of night raiders would
hold out against a hot rifio fire. Lndd
did not share Boldlng's sanguine
hopes.
One January morning Dick Gnle
was nwnkonod by n shrill, menacing
cry. He leaped up bewildered and
frightened. Ho heard Boldlng's boom
lng voice nnswerlng shouts, and rapid
stops on llagstones. But theso bad not
awakened him. Heavy breaths, almost
sobs, seemed at his very door. In
the cold and gray dawn Dick saw
something white. Gun In hand, ho
bounded ncross tho room, Just out
side his door stood Blanco Sol.
It wns not unusual for Sol to come
poking his head In at Dick's door dur
ing daylight. But now in the early
down, when ho bad been locked In
tho corral. It meant raiders no less.
Dick cnlled softly to tho snorting
horse; and, hurriedly getting Into
clothe nnd boots, ho went out with n
gun In each hand. Sol was quivering In
every riyiscle. Liko a dog ho followed
Dick around tho house. Hearing
shouts In tho direction of tho corrals,
Galo bent swift steps that way.
IIo caught up with Jim Lash, who
was nlso leading n whlto horse.
I They reached the corral to find
! Belfllng shaking, roaring liko n uiHd-
man. The, gnto was open, tho con-d
wns empty. "Tom, whero's tho Pnpn

"no's gone, Lnddy gonol"
"Doublo-crossed us, eh? I see benv

Indlnn fetched It from tho forge. It
wns used to pry out tho bolts nn'
steeples. Tom, I reckon thero wasn't
much time lost forcln' that gate."
Dnyllght made clear somo details of
the raid. Tho cowboys found tracks
of eight raiders coming up from tho
river bed whoro their horses had boon

CHAPTER VIII
The Running of Blanco Ool.
Tho YaquI'. strungo glancu roved
over the corral, the swinging gate
with Us broken fastenings, the tracks
In tho road, nnd then rested upop Bold
lng. "Mnlo," he said, nnd Ida Spanish
was clenr.
"Shore, Ynqul, about eight bad men,
an' n traitor Indlnn," said Ladd.
"I think ho means my herder," add
ed Bcldlng. "If he docs, that settles
any doubt It might be decent to have
Ynqul malo Papngo SI?"
Tho Yaqul spreail wide his hnnds.
Then he bent over the tracks in the
rood. They led' every whither, but
gradually he worked out of tho thick
net to take tho trail that the cowboys
had followed downUo the river. Bcld
lng and tho rangers kept close nt his
heels. IIo found a trampled spotwl.ere
the raiders had left their horses. From
this point a deeply defined narrow
trail led ncross tho dry rlvor bed.
Tho trail of the raiders took a
southeasterly course over untrodden
desert. Tho Ynqul spoke In his own
tongue, then In Spanish.
"Think ho means slow march," said
Bcldlng. "Lnddy, from tho looks of
that trail tho Greasers nro having
trouble with the horses."
"Tom, shore n boy could see thnt,"
replied Lnddy. "Ask Yaqul to toll us
where tho raiders are houdln', an' If
thero's water."
It wns wonderful to see the Ynqul
point. With a stick he traced n line In
the sand, and then at the end of th u
another lino nt right nngles. He mnde
crosses and mnrks nnd holes, and as
he drew the rude map he talked In
Ynqul, In Spanish; with a word bore
nnd there in English. Bcldlng trans
lated as best he could. The raiders
were heading southeast toward the
railroad that ran from Nogales down
Into Sonorn. It wns four days' travel,
bad trail, good sure waterhole one
daycout; then water not sure for two
dnys. Raiders, not looking for pur
suit, could bo bended and nmbushed
thnt night nt tho first wnterhole, n
uutural trap In n valley.
The men returned to the ranch.
Tho rangers ate and drank while mak
ing hurried preparations for travel.
Blanco Sol and tho cowboys' horses
were fed, watered, nnd saddled. Ladd
refused to rldo one of Beldlng's
whites. He was quick and cold.
"Get mo a long-range rllle nn' lots
of shells. Itustlo, now," ho said. "I
want a gun that'll outshoot the dinky
little carbines an' muskets used by
the rebels. Trot ono out an' be quick."
"I'vo got n .403, a long-barreled
heavy rllle that'll shoot a mile. I use
it for mountain sheep. But Laddy,
It'll break that bronch's back."
"Ills back won't break so easy. . . .
Dick, take plenty of shells for your
Remington. An' don't forget your
field glass."
In less than an hour after tho tlmo
of the raid tho throe rangers, heavily
armed nnd superbly mounted on fresh
horses, rode out on the trail. As Gale
turned to look bnck from the far bank
of Forlorn river, bo saw Nell waving
n white senrf. no stood high in his
stirrups and waved his sombrero. I
Then the mesqulto hid the girl's slight I
figure, and Gnle wheeled grim-faced '
to follow the rangers. I
They rodo In single file with Lndd j
in the icau. no tooK a nee-une course
for tho whlto escarpment pointed out
hy the Ynqul,; nnd nothing save deep
washes and impassable patches of
cactus or rocks mnde him sworvo
from It
At noon tho rangers got out of the
thick enctus. The desert lloor Inclined
porceptlbly upwnrd. When Gale got
nn unobstructed vlow of the slope of
the esenrpment ho located the raiders
nnd horses. In another hour's travel
the rangors could see with naked eyes
a long, fnlnt moving streak of black-and-white
dots.
"They're hendln' for that yellow
pass," said Ladd, pointing to a break
In tho enstern end of tho escnrpraont.
"When they get out of sight we'll
rustle. I'm thlnkln' thnt wntorhote
the Ynqul spoko of lnys In the pass."
Tho rangors traveled swiftly over
tho romalulng miles of level desert
lending to the nscent of the esenrp
ment. When they achieved tho gate
way of tho pass tho sun was low In
the west. Lndd gave the word to
tie up horses and go forwnrd on foot.
The narrow neck of the pass opened
and descended Into a vnlloy half a mllo
wide, perhaps twlco that In length.
It hnd nppnrently unscnlnble slopes of
weathered rock loading up to beetling
wnlls,
"Keep down, boys," snld Lndd.
"There's tho wnterhole, nn' bosses
hnve sharp eyes. Shoro tho Yaqul
flggored this place. I never seen Its
like for a trap,"
Both whlto nnd black horses showed
against the green, and n thin curling
column of blue smoke roso lazily from
nmld the mesqultes,
"I reckon we'd bettor wait till dark,
or mebby daylight" snld Jim Lnsh.
"Lot me flgfer some. CloTf, what
do you mnko of tho outlet to this
hole? Looks rough to me."
With bis glass Gnle studied the nar
row construction of Walls and rough
ened rising floor.
"Lnddy. It's hnrder to get out nt
thnt end thnn here," he replied.
"Shore that's bnrd enough. Lot me
have n look. . . . Well, boys, It don't
take no flggerln for this Job. .Jim,
I'll Want you at the other end blockln'
tho pass when we're rendy to stnrt."
"When 'II thnt be?" Inquired Jim.
"Soon ns It's light enough In the
mornln'. Thnt Greaser outfit will hang
till tomorrow. Thore's no sure water
nhend for two. days, you remember."
Tho rangers stole bnck from tho
vnntnge point nnd returned to their
horsffl. which they untied nnd left
farther round nmong broken sections
of cliff. For the horses It wns n dry,
hungry enmp, but the rangers built a
fire nnd had their short though
strengthening meal.
Jim Lash rolled In his saddle
blanket his feet nenr.the fire, nnd
went to sleep. Ladd told Gnle to do
llkewlso while he kept tho fire up hnd
waited until It was Into enough for
Jim to undertake circling round the
raiders. When Gnle nwakened. Jim
was up saddling his horse, and Ladd
wns talking low.
With Lndd loading, they moved
away Into the gloom. Advance was
exceedingly slow, careful, silent Final
ly tho trail showed pnlc In the gloom,
and eastern stars twinkled between
tho lofty rnmpnrts of tho pass.
Ladd halted and stood silent n mo
mont "Luck ng&lnt" be whispered.
"Tho wind's' In your fnce, Jim. The
horses won't scent you. Try to got up
ns high ns this at the other end. Walt
till dnyllght before rlskln' n loose
slope. I'll bo rldin' the Job early.
Thut's nil."
Lndd's cool, easy speech wns scarce
ly significant of the perilous under
taking. Lash moved very slowly
nway, leading his horse. Then Lndd
touched Dick's arm, and turned back
up the trail.
Togethor they picked a way back
through the winding recesses of cliff.
The campflre was smoldurhig. Ladd
replenished It and lay down to get a
few hours' sleep, while Gale kept
wntch. The after pnrt of tic night
wore on till the paling of stars, the
thickening of gloom Indicated the
dark hour before dawn. Ladd awoke
before the falntan gray appeared.
Tho rangers nto and drank. When tho
black did lighten to gray they sad
dled the horses and led them out to
the pass and down to tho point whore
they had parted with Lash. Here
they awaited daylight.
The valley grew clear of gray
shadow except under lennlng wnlls on
tho eastern side. Then a straight col
umn of smoke rose from among the
mesqultes. Manifestly this was what
Ladd had been awaiting, no took the
long .405 from Its sheath and tried
the lover. Then ho lifted a cartridge
belt from the pominol of his saddle.
Every ring held a shell and theso
shells were four Inches long. He
buckled the belt round him.
"Come on, Dick."
Lndd led the way down the slope
until he reached u position that com
manded the rising of tho trail from
a level. It was tho only place a man
or horse could leave the valley for
thev pass.
"Dick", here's your stand. If any
raider rides In range take a crack at
him. . . . Now I want tho lend o
your boss."
"Blanco Soil" exclaimed Gale, more
"Dick, Here'a Your Stand. If Any
Raider Rides !.T Range Take a
Crack at Him."
In amaze that Ladd should ask for the
horso thnn In reluctance to lend him.
"Will you let me have blm?" Ladd
repeated, almost curtly.
"Certainly, Laddy."
A smllo momentarily chased tho
dark, cold gloom that had set upon
ranger's lean race.
