Now, what do you say?' “I accept, and I thank you—I can’t say hew much,” replied Gale, ear- nestly. “Good! 'That's settled. Let’s zo out and tell Laddy and Jim.” Both boys expressed sutisfactior at the turn of affairs, and then with Belding they set out to take Gale around the ranch. The wide grounds were covered with luxurian: grase and flowers and different kinds of trees. Belding explained that the Inxuri- ance of this desert place was owing to a few springs and the dammed-up waters of the Rio Forlorn. “I've got one never-failing on my place,” snid Belding. sweet water! You know what that means in the desert. 1 like this oasis. The longer I live here the better I Hke it. Tt's beautiful and healthy. Forlorn and lonely, ves, especially for women like my wife and I; but I like it. . . . And between you and me, boys, I've got something up my sleeve. There's gold dust in the arroyos, and there's mineral up in the mountains. 1f we only had water! There are possibilities, and 1 want ¥ou hoys to stay with me and get in on the ground floor, T wish this rebel war was over. . . Well, here are the corrals and the fields. Gale, take a lovk at that bunch of horses!” Belding's last remark was made as he led his companions out of shady gardens into the open. Gale saw an adobe shed and a huge pen formed by strangely twisted and contorted hranches or trunks of mesquite, and, heyond these, wide, flat fields, green— a dark, rich green—and dotted with beautiful horses. There were whites and blacks, and bays and grays. In his admiration Gale xearched his memory to see if he could remember the like of these magnificent animnls, and had to admit that the only cnes he could compare with thes _were the thlan steeds. &% 5 vShore Exreckon F “gavvy wn_v you don’t sleep nights,” drawled Lad:dy. “I &ee a Greaser out there—no; it's an Indfan.” “That's my I‘amgo herdsman.

The rirging of a bell, which Bel- ding said was a call to supper, turned the men hack toward the house. Tt was not untit they reached it and were about to go in that Belding chanced to discover Gale's crippled hand. e (Continued in Next Issue) PAID ADVERTISEMENT (Inserted By and for Harry A.
