CHAPTER 1V me sow's busin CHAPTER V A Desert Rose. When Dick lay down that night he avas dully conscious of pain and head- ache—that he‘did not feel well. De- spite’ this, and a mind througing with mémories and anticipations, he suc- cumbed to weariness and soon fell asleep. gl © 1t was light when he awoke, but a -steange brightuess seen through what seewed Llurred eyes. A mo- ment passed before hix mind worked llF)fl'lV and then he had effort'to think. Lle was he e d to 1t his right’ excruct rm, an ng pain made him desist. Then he' discovered that his avm was badly swollen, and the hand had hurst its banda; The injured mem- ber“was red, inflamed, and twice Ity normal e felt hot all over, and - a’ raging headache con- sumed -him, Relding came stamping into the rov. “Hello, Dick.

He saw Belding lean over him, féel his face, and speak, and then every- thing seemed to drift, not into ¢ pess, but into xome region where he had dim perceptions of gray moving things, and of voices that were re- Dote. Then there cume an interval when all was blank. When he again unclosed hix eyes the room was sunny, and cool with a fragrant breeze that blew through the open door. Dick felt better; but he had no particular desire to move or talk or eat. On the next day he was very much Smproved. “We've been afrald of blood pol- soning,” said Belding.” “But my’ wife thinks the danger’s past. Yow'll have to rest that arm for. a while.” Ladd sund Jim came peeping In at the door. “Come in, hoys. pany—the more keep him content. that's afl.” The cowboys entered, cool, kind-voiced. “Shore it's tough.” suid Ladd, after he had greeted Dick. “You look used up.” Jim TLash wagged his half-bald, sunburned head. “Musta been more'n tough for Rojas.” “Gale,” Laddy He can have com- the better—if _it'll He mustn’t move, slow, ensy, tells me one of our neighbors, fellow named Carter, s going to Casita” put In “Here's a chance to get’ wnnl w your Triend . the soldier.” “Oh, that will he -fiife " uzmmm Dick. “I declare: 14} sforkptien Thorne.

" Like Nell, she wore white, and she had a red rose in her hand. She was swift, hapulsive in her meve- ments to reach Dick's side, enor, I 'am so s l1—s0 happy you ave bett Dick greeted her, offering his left hand, gravely apologizing for the fact that, owing to @ late infirmity, he could not offer thé right. Her smile you were exquisitely combined sympathy, grati- tude, -admiration. - Then Dick spoke to Nell, likewise offering his™hand, which she took_shrly, Her reuly was DESERT GOLD ZANE GREY Beldips, | Riders of thePurple Sage.

Presently Dick remembered to speak of the matter of getting news to Thorne. senor, may I write to him?

So Belding arranged. it; des flew away to'her room to write, while Nell fetched pen and paper and seated herself beside Gule’s bed to take his dictation. What with watching NeH and try- ing to catch her giance, and listenin to Belding's talk with the cowboys, Dick was hard put to it to dictate any kind of a creditable letter. Nell met his gaze once, then no more. Belding was talking over the risks in- volved In u trip to Casita. “Tl tell you. boys, T'll ride in my- sell with ter. There's business I can see to, and I'm curious to know what the rebels are doing. Gale, T'm going to Casita myself. Qught 1o get back tomorrow some time. Tl be ready to sturt in an hour. Have your letter ready. And say—if you want to write home it's a chance. Sometimes we don’t go to the P, 0. in a.month.” He tramped out, followed hy the tall cowboys, and then Dick was en- abled to bring his.letter .to a cloge. | Mercedes came back, and her eyes' were shining. Dick, remembering Belding's suggestion, declded to profit by it. “May I-trouble you to write another for m L K, a3 he received xl* teer from Nell. e “It's o troubie, ure—T'd “he pleased,” she veplied. - That wuas altogether a wonderful speech of hers, Dick, zht, because the words were the- fitst coherent ones she had spoken to him. He settled back and began. Presently Gale paused,” partly be- cause of genuine ® emotion, ‘and stole a look from under his hand at Nell. If she had in the vew Jeast been drawn to him—- But that was absurd—im- possible ! . When - Dick finished dictating, his eyes were upon Mercedos, who sat sipilingly curious and sympathetic. How responsive she was! He looked it Nel I'res v she rose, holding out his lefter. He was just in time to see a wave of red recede from her face.

She left the room with Mercedes before he could express his thanks, But that strange. speaking flash of eyes vemnined to haunt and tormwent Gale. Tt was indescribably sweet, and - provocative & thoughts that he helieved were wild without warrant.

She was kind, soft-handed, moth- erly, and she coming in to minister to his-comfort; yet Gale felt that the friendliness so manifest in the others of the household did not extend to her. He was consclouns of sowething that « little thought per- suaded him was antagonism. It sur- prised and hurt -him. He reflected that there might come a time when it would be desirable, far beyond any &round of every-day friendly Kindli- ness, to have Mrs. Belding be: well disposed toward him.
