isfnetory, forhouttorod a lowKrowl.and
tho hair upon htn back and nock began
to brintlo.
"Down, AuIiihI" cried tho girl, tapping
him wnartly with tho paddlo. "Aron't
yon iiHhamod of yourBolf, ulr?"
Tho hound milwidod and became ahjoct
at onco. llruco had already taken a
strap from bin pocket and after nocuring
tho turkoyH legs toguthor thrown tho
heavy birds ncroiw bin shoulder. Ho wan
walling to assist her. Cynthia Htoppod,
and quito unnffoctwdly handed him hi
gun, which lio had for tho lnomeut ror
gottou. Thoro wiih Hoinothing annuo
titan in tho gesture. Tho gentleman re
ceived it with grave- courtoHys then ho
took tho plump llttlo hand which sho ox
toudotl to him frankly, and sho leaped
lightly upon tho rock, followed by her
attendant dogs. It wiih as if Diana, tho
huntress, wero returning from an uquat
ia excursion.
A steep, winding path, skirting rock
ml bowldor, led to tho heights above.
Tho uirl at onco took tho lead. calling to
CHAl'THlt III.
An old man with long gray hair and
unkempt beard was seated on tho door
stouoof tho ranch playing a violin. A
tall, muscular young follow lounged
against a neighboring live oak, listening
and placidly smoking. I. out in tho ion
doringof his dismal music, tho faco of
tho performer was vacant ami rapt. Ills
eyes had an uncertain wandering gleam,
and ho bout his chin upon thoiustruiueut
and hugged it closo to him with long
nvvcop of his bow, iih though intent upon
tho pursuit of sumo elusive melody that
ho feared might escape him. His kuccv
wero pressed close together, ami one foot
rested on the other, the toes turned in
ward, with a humorous suggestion tlmt
his musical efforts wore demoralizing hU
lower limbs. Near these erratic foot it
monstrous river cattish, recently caught
and thrown carelessly down, stretched
its unwieldy length.
Ho did not ceaso playing as Qyntldu
and llruco approached, but quito uncon
scious of their presence continued wak
ing tho echoes of the gathering twilight
with Ids fiendish muslo. His companion
greeted tho girl with a friendly nod, ami
ipiickly detaching himself from tho trve
(stepped toward her. Tho movement
brought tho fiddler to himself, who, still
playing, turned his body half round.
and as soon as his eyes rested upon the
stranger stopped abruptly, the iustru
mout giving an impatient quaver as tho
bow fell away from the strings. Ho
stared blankly at Cynthia, but said uoth
lug.
"Mr. Henry llruco, father, of tho Mos
quito valley ranch," said his daughter,
with a sudden blush. "He's lost his
pony, fell in tho river and wants to
know if you can take care of him over
night."

her companion to follow her. There ' ms now ami llddlo upon the doorstone,
was something in this friendly espionage! extended a heavy hand to lJruco, and
that was stimulating to tho sportsman
lie folt the inferiority of his sex un
der circumstances where It should have
been triumphant. At length, out of
breath and quite exhausted with his
hard climbing, he reached the olnvatcd
plateau. Tho girl was awaiting hlin.
As ho stepped out from tho dense friugi
of pine ami hemlock that bordered tin
river tho level rays of tho declining iuii
at first dazzled him. It was like einerg
ing from some twilight cloister into the
open day. A vmall cotton field with
shreds of the woolly crop still clinging
to tho dry nml withered plants stretched
before him in dull monotony. Deyoud
it, amid n grovo of great pecan that
formed a favorable barrier against uu
welcomed northers, stood a small stone
house, with its tall adobe chimney.
Smoko was curling from tho latter,
bringing with it suggestions of comfort
tlint npiwaled to tho wayfarer. Tho sun
was going down a great globo of tiro
behind tho low hills to the west. There
wero tho clanging of stock bolls upon tho
jPlr, tho bleating of sheep ami other
sounds which, albeit unmelodious in
thomselves, are not without their com
pensations upon tho frontier. The youn
inau turned to Cynthia.
She was seated on a fallen treo en
gaged in loosening an antelope which sho
had totherod to one of tho branches be
fore descending tho cliff, Tho fawn, rec
ognizing an addition to tho party in tint
ranohman s dog, was timid and wary.
Sho finally succeeded in reassuring it
somewhat, and with her pot tripping
daintily on before and tugging at tut
confining rojH) proceeded. Her compau
ion quietly took his placo at her side.
"Something of a scramble, wasn't it?"
Cynthia inquired, glancing at him slyly
from under her drooping lashes, not
without a feminine appreciation of his
splendid height.
Bruce acquiesced, shifting his gun from
his burdened shoulder to a more comfort
able position. Sho regarded him a mo
ment critically.
"You're feolln pretty well tuckered
now, ain't you'd" she finally said as the
result of this inspection.
Tho young man met this direct query
with tho customary untruth of suffering
uftuihood under similar circumstances.
"Landl" said Cynthia, waving a dimin
utive hand in protest. "Thot climb
isn't a circumstance. 1 can tako you to
100 worso places than thot right hero on
this river."
"Not with these turkeys ou my back
if 1 know it," he remonstrated.
Tho girl laughed at tho suggestion.
They had passed through a thorny
chaparral and werocloso upon tho ranch.
Tlio sound of a violin, ou which was be
ing played a lugubrious air, at times
bursting into sudden erratic strains, with
fitful minors and jarring discords, plain
ly reached them. Tho effect was weird
and indescribable
"Aro you married?" Cynthia inquired '
abruptly, stopping short in tho way and
leveling her blue eyes full upou him
with steadfast scrutiny.
Tho uuoxjiectednesa of this inquiry
was too much for tho sportsman. He
throw back his head and shouted his
musemout. Tho girl api eared relieved
at tho action.
"I reckon you ain't," sho Bald nt length.
"You couldn't laugh liko thot, I B'poso,
if you wero. Father says that tuno bo's
n-playin is 'Married" Life.' 1 think it's
dreadful. It's ouo of his own, and he
says it's tho result of oxporionco. I
thought perhaps I'd better give you
waruin. Come in now, and I'll make
you acquainted."
She lifted tho latch of a rudo gate, and
together they passed into the ranch in
closure.
after closing upou the hitter's fingers
uml lifting his arm as if it had been a
pump hand to restored them tohlmatriili
maimed and without uttering a word.
The saino formality was thon gone
tlirough with tlio younger individual,
whom Cynthia addressed as Buck .Tor
rold. This gentleman managed to ejac
ulate "Howdy?" In n tone as mechanical
as tho provious gesture.
Meanwhile old Dallas had straightened
out his legs, crossed them, and with hit
hands elapsed over his knees was gnzinii
up into his guest's face with a puzzleJ
gravity that begun to be embarrassing.
"Who bo ye?" ho finally said, with n
doubtful look, putting his hand to hit
ear. as if ho wero listening from a re
mote locality "Vhar did yo say y
kern from?" I
llruco wns about to reply when Cyn-1
thin interposed and repeated her pre
vious remark more emphatically, "lle't '
boon playin, yo seo; ho gets so far ovei
yonder thot it takes him a long time tc
get back," sho explained.
"lleen In tho river and lost hit
horsol" tho elder Dallas finally ejacu
lated slowly, as if a light was breakinp
in upon him. Then ho rubbed his hamh
togother ami chuckled softly to himself,
turning his head to one side and closing
his eyes ns if there was something very
amusing in tho recollection.
"Waal, waall Ef thisyer statoain't get
tin swnmped with tendorfoots my nam
ain't Alcidesl Lost his boss let it walk
off and leavo hinil" ho repeated, chuck
ling ngain. "Yo might build up a bust
in tiro in that thar grate, Duck, and thaw i
him out, I reckon," pointing to tho open
hearth within. "Ye kin do that much." j
llruco, who had listened to tho coin- J
montary of the older Dallas upon his'
mishap with outward imperturbability,
but inward impatience, hereupon at
tempted to say something in his own de
fense, when Cynthia broke in:
"Prott " near as bad n caso, father, ns
when oid Julo wont off nml left you
down nt tho 'llvo oak water holo,' the
time you got down to doctor thot old i
ewe that was snako bit, aren't it?" shu
commented.
"It's gottln dark," nald tho old man, i
rising nbruptly and with a sudden crack-'
ing of his rheumatic joints "it's gottin
dark, and I reckon wo hotter go in," Ho
stooped and made n feeble clutch for his
relinquished fiddle, but his halting kmxM
wero uuequnl to tlio effort, and .Terrold
handed it to him. no turned ou the
doorstop nml picked a noto or two with
absent eyes and a wandering hand.
"Thoro nin't but two bedrooms in the
house outsidothosottin room, and them's
occupied," ho said vaguely, as if to the
remoto landscapo, punctuating his dis
course with nervous strumming of the
Instrument. "Yo'll hov to 'innko down'
with Duck and mo on tho floor aforo the
flro Ez for dry clothes, tho only oxtrys
on hand at this ranch ia n buffalo robe
and n ynllor 'slicker' yo kin tako yer
ch'ico. P'raps, ez it is, and thar Isung a
corner in dry goods outsido o' woman's
duds nml flxin's, yo bettor let thorn clothes
o' yourn dry on yo nnd hot up from the
insido. Yo look stout, and I'll allow yo
kin stand it. Cynthy, whar's thot ryo
whisky tho shoriff gin mo over nt tho
'barliecuo' last week? Yo might bring it
out and start your fr'end onto it. Iluck,
go to tho woodpilo nnd fetch nn nruifiu
of wood."
So saying nnd without pausing for n
roply ho at onco led tho way within,
followed by Bruco nnd Cynthln. A wood
flro mimed upon the nmplo hearth, tho
leaping flames roaring and crackling up
tho great chimnoy and lighting up tho
dim interior with fantastic piny of light
and shadow. Tho room was bare and
rocklos-dy lavish in coloring
ously out of drawing, hung upon tho
walls.
A door at tho opposite end of tho room
gave upon tho neighboring kitchen.
Thoneo proceeded tho rattle of cooking
utensils and a savory steam that ap
pealed to the fatigued and hungry
sportsman. A fow minutes later Cyn
thia appeared, accompanied by an old
i negress, tiirbaned and of middle ago,
i who carried a largo brown jug ami a
couple of glasses. This was tho ebony
i Amelia, tho presiding genius of tho mys
terious and appetizing realm sho had
just quitted.
, Sho handed a tumbler to llruco as ho
' stood with his back to tho blazing hearth
exhaling a cloud of steam in his efforts
to net upon the old man's advice, and
throwing the jug over tho hollow of her
elbow by u dexterous movement of a
black forefinger slipped through the han
dle stood ready to administer tho liquid
refreshment.
"Say 'whon.'sahr she directed, tilting
the liquor at a rapid gate into tho prof
fered glass.
"Whom" said llruco hastily, glancing
at Cynthia over his half filled tumbler.
"Sho!" laughed the obony Amelia,
chuckling nnd favoring the young man
with a dazzling dental display in her
amusement. "I)at ain't a 'marker' fo' a
young chap wot's jes' bo'n baptized I
Heah, boss!" turning to old Dallas, who
had boon silently regarding Bruce and
ills protestations against her generosity,
"show this goinnmn wot you 'lows to bo
do ubcrngo Texas 'rojubenator.' Doy am
no honVity oil do artlclol"
Alcldes Dallas stole n quick glance at
Cynthia as sho sat between the two dogs
dozing in tho corner of the hearthstone,
with ono arm around the prostrate Au
las uml her eyes gazing into tho blazing
grate. Thon ho stumped eagerly for
ward. "My shoulder belli a lectio bad today
whar 1 was throwed last spring at tho
'roundups,'" ho remarked apologetic
ally, his eyes still iiikiu tho silent Cyn
thia, "and thot old centyjH'do bito of five .
year ago still a-goln fur mo nt times nnd
contributln to make life a weariness of
the llesh, I reckon a small snifter taken
under sich dopros-dn sarounistances
might operate as a blossiu in disguise."
Ho paused after tills lengthy explana
tion, put his tonguo in his cheek and
looked warily around. Thoro was a
I dead silence. Mr. Buck Jerrold, who
had just entered stooping under n heavy
load of wood, cast down his burden upou
tho blazing health amid a shower of
sparks, nml leaning against tho chimnoy
1 pieco grinned incredulously us ho listened
to the old man's catalogue of his infirm
ities. Cynthia sat still between tho dogi
i and said nothing.
I "It's powerful slng'lar, Al," remarked
I Mr. Jerrold slowly, rubbing ids bearded
chin ami pursing his lips, "how long it
do tako, natch'aily, to git thot thar cent y
pedo plzen out'u a man's unfortunet sys
tem when wunst he's bo'n bit. You
don't seem to hov no kind o' success, al
though you've bo'n pickliu yo'se'f off ami

an he's signed tho pledge seuco then, ho

obliged to hobblo his roiwicnco an tako
a drink or go clean crazy."
I'oun-li
iibiti-! j
better a'readv, sis,
and I don't know ez I owe my Inside any
parlieklor grudge to bo dopresMn it to
thot extent."
Ho turned his back abruptly upon hU
daughter nml her solicitations, ami
swinging louml in tho wooden chair ou
which ho sat crossed his legs ami gazed
fixedly Into tho blazing coals with an
expression upon his withered face from
which there was no npioal.

gerons tendencies of liquor, Cynthiaj
mado ono more appeal.
"But you know, father, Dr. Stethy
scope prescribed this for you whenever
you wero feolin blue ami out of spirits,"
sho pleaded, a pretty trouble gathering
in her anxious brows.
"Dr. Htothyscopo is a crank and a
cussed fool!" letiirned tho elder Dallas
shaiply, still with averted back. "I kin
run my own insido without any advice
from him, I reckon. Wot's more," ho
added, with a grin that disclosed a fow
lonely and discolored teeth In Ids upior
jaw, "jest at present I'm not out of sper
rlts." Ho glanced nt Mr. Buck Jerrold loan
ing against tho chiinnoypieco anil winked
iioldly, as if to clinch the suggestion.
Cynthia, heaving another little sigh,
poured tho contents of the tablespoon
back into the bottle ami replaced it in
tho cupboard with an air of resignation.
She then returned to her seat in tho cor
ner of the hearth between tho sleeping
dogs.
Meanwhile Amelia had crossed tht
room to a point near tho lounging Mr.
Jerrold and stood listening seriously to
tho dialogue between father and daugh
ter before proffering hor services to him.
Sho now iierformcd the same gymnastic
feat with tho jug and extended tho old
man's empty tumbler.
"I hain't no use for It," replied Mr.
Jerrold listlessly, not changing his at
titude, but permitting his largo gray
eyes to wander in the direction of Cyn
thia. "Never havln bo'n bit yet and

Tho old man turned, with his glins in
his hand, and pasted doubtfully at Buck
Jerrold, as if to fathom tlio (sincerity of
hit remarUri.
"Tliot'n bo," ho said gravely. "Thar's
them ez believes yo never kin pit over

in tho faco of Providenco to over sign

train of infirmities nnd worryment thet

infected oven his own bemilchrnl grav

twitched; ho turned his back on Cyn
thln, normittcd Amelia to till his glass
to tho brim, nnd covering it with his
wholo hand bo that tho amount of his
indulgeuco was concealed from his audi
ence tossed tho draft off with surprising
facility. Ho returned to his seat ajumr
ently rofreshed.
Cynthia roso at onco with a sigh, nnd
repairing to tho closet returned with a
largo tablespoon and an ominous looking
bottle.

Sho iourcd out a tablespoonful of the
mi.xturo nnd held it toward him coax

tho old man, waving his medieinal favor
aside. "Yo don't reckon I wnnter mix

at the hotel that night, and ho ntrollcil into
