Cameron’s explanations appease ‘Warren, and the two proceed together. Taking refuge from a sandstorm in & cave, Cameron discovers gold, but too Iate; both men are dying. Cameron leaves evidence, in the cave, of thelr discovery of gold, ard personal documents. CHAPTER I.—Richard Gale, adven- turer, in Casita, Mexican border town, meets George Thorne, lleutenant in the Ninth cavalry, old college friend. Thorne tells Gale he is there to save Mercedes Castaneda, Spanish girl, his afflanced ‘wife, from Rojas, Mexican bandit. CHAPTER _IL—Gale “roughhouses™ Rojas and his gang, with the help of two American cowboys, and he, Mercedes and Thorne escape. A bugle call from the fort orders Thore to his regiment o ves les under le's 0~ tection. s CHAPTER IIL—The pair, aided by the cowboys who had assisted Gale In the escape, Charlle Ladd and Jim Lash, ar- rive in safety at a ranch known as r- lorn River, well across the border. CHAPTER o~ fugitives are at Tom Belding’s home. Belding is immi- gration inspector. Living with him are his wife and stepdaughter, Nell Burton. Gale, with Ladd and Lash, take service with’ Belding -as rangers, Gale telling RBelding the cause of his being a wanderer, a misunderstanding with his father con- cerning the son’s business abilitles. CHAPTER V.—Mercedes gets word to %horne of her safety. Dick also writes writing on his Infrequent returns to Forlorn River; and, besides, Elsie had written that her father had stormed over what he considered Dick’s falling into wild and evil ways. “Time flies,” sald Dick. “George Thorne will be free before long, and he'll be coming out. I wonder if he'll stay here or try to take Mercedes away?” “Well, he'll stay right here in For- lorn River, if I have any say,” replied Belding. “I'd like to know how he'd ever get that Spanish girl -out of the country now, with all the trails over- run by rebels and raiders. It'd be hard to disguise her. Say, Dick, may- be we can get Thorne to stay here. You know, since you've discovered the possibility of a big water supply, I've had dreams of a future for For- lorn River. . . . If only this war was over!” The discovery that Belding alluded to was one that might very well lead to the making of a wonderful and agricultural district of Altar valley. While in college Dick Gale had studled englneering, but he had not set the scientific world afire with his bril- liance. Nevertheless, his smattering of engineering skill bore fruit in the last place on earth where anything might have been expected of it—in the desert. Gale had always won- dered about the source of Forlorn ta his parents, informing them of his o i 3 henmbouts, Kells personality, and her | RIVer: He had discovered a long, nar kindness, attract Gale. row, rock-bottomed and rock-walled CHAPTER VI—Rlding the range. Gale #lls in with a party of three Mexican raiders encamped at a water hole. Watching his_opportunity to oust them, he sees two Indians ride Into the camp. One of them, a Yaqui, is evidently badly wounded, and the Mexicans seek to kill him in & cruel way. Dick drives them off, conveying the wounded Yaqul to Belding’s ranch. —_— CHAPTER VIl ! White Horses. “A cripplied Yaqui! Why the h—1did you saddle yourself with him?” roared Belding, as he lald Gale upon the bed. Belding had grown hard these late, wviolent weeks. “Because I chose,” whispered Gale, in reply. “Go after him—he dropped in the trail—across the Triver—near the first big saguaro.” “Sure, Dick, sure,” Belding replied, in softer tones. Then he stalked out; his heels rang on the flagstones; he opened a door and called: “Mother —girls, here's Dick back. He's done wp. . . . Dowhat you can to make him comfortable. I've got a little job on hand.” Gale slept twenty hours. Then he arose, thirsty, hungry, lame, over- worn, and presently went in search of Belding and the business of the day. “Your Yaqui was near dead, but guess” we'll pull him through,” said Yaqui under a horse’s hoofs—he was a hyena!” concluded Gale, shuddering. “I've seen some blood spilled and some hard sights, 1;:; that lnllumll:;n devil tolo{: tt,fl"'l‘"f‘:_' ,:fmfnn:;;iehé:’;cfl?fl;umre‘ You Need It because thousands of people are killed and hundreds of thousands are injured each year in just these my nerve.

Bar none, that is the limit! Dick, If I'm not mistaken, this fellow was a chief. It was a waste of strength, a needless risk for you to save him, pack him back here! But, d—n the whole Greaser outfit generally, I'm glad you did!" Gale remembered then to speak of his concern for Ladd. “Laddy didn’t go out to meet you,” replied Belding. “I knew you were due in any day, and, as there's been trouble between here and Casita, I sent him that way. Since you've been out our friend Carter lost a bunch of horses and a few steers. Did you get a good look at the horses thoge raid- ers_had at Papago well?” i Dick had learned, since he had be- come a ranger, to see everything with keen, sure, photographic eye; and, be- ing put to the test so often requifed-of him, he ‘described the horses s “a dark-colored drove, mostly bays and blacks, with one spofted sorrel. “Some ‘of Carter's—sure as you're born!” .exclaimed Belding. “well, what shall I do now?” asked Dick. “Stay here and rest,” bluntly replied Belding.- “You need it. Let the wom- en fuss over you—doctor you a little. ‘When Jim gets back from Sonoyta I'll know more about what we ought to do” " Gale had recelved several letters m his sister Elsie, the last of which he had not answered. There gulch that could be dammed at the lower end by the dynamiting of lean- ing cliffs above. An inexhaustible supply of water could be stored there. Furthermore, -he had worked out an irrigation plan to bring the water down for mining uses, and to make a paradise out of that part of Altar valley which lay in the Unlted States. Belding claimed there was gold In the arroyos, gold in the gulches, not in quantities to make a- prospector re- Jolce, but enough to work for. And the soil on the higher levels of Altar valley needed only water to make it grow anything the year round. Gale, too, had come to have dreams of a future for Forlorn River. On the afternoon of the following day Ladd unexpectedly appeared lead- ing a lame and lathered horse into the | yard. The legs of the horse were raw and red, and he seemed about to drop. Ladd's sombrero was missing; he wore a bloody scarf round his head; sweat and blood and dust had formed a crust on his face; little streams of powdery dust slid from him; and the lower half of his scarred chaps were full of broken white thorns. “Howdy, boys,” he drawled. *“I shore am glad to see you all.” “Laddy, go in the house to the women,” said Belding. “I'll tend to your horse.” “Shore, Tom, in 2 minute.
