If you go— it you fetch some word of Thorne to comfort Mercedes, you—well, you will have your reward. Dick, will you go.” “No—no!” cried Gale, in violence, struggling with himself. “Nell Bur- ton, I'll tell you this. To have the reward 1 want would mean pretty near heaven for me. But not even for that will I break my word to your father.” She seemed the incarnation of girl- ish scorn and willful passion. “Gracias, senor;,” she replied, mock- Ingly. “Adios.” Then she flashed out of his sight. Gale went to his room at once, dis- turbed and thrilling, and did not soon recover from that encounter. The following moening at the break- fast table Nell was not present. “She’s in one of her tantrums lately,” said Belding. “Wouldn't speak to me this morning. Let her alone, mother. She's spoiled enough, without running after her. She's always hungry. She’ll be on hand presently, don’t mistake me.” Notwithstanding Belding’s convic- tion, which Gale shared, Nell did not appear at all during the hour. Per- haps half an hour afterward, as Gale was leaving his room, he saw the Yaqui running up the path from the fields. Gale wondered what was the matter. Yaqui ran straight to Bel- ding, who was at work at his bench under the wagon shed. In less than a moment Belding was bellowing for his rangers. Gale got to him first, but Ladd and Lash were not far be- hind. “Blanco Sol gone!” yelled Belding, In a rage. “Raiders!" exclaimed Jim Lash. “Lord only knows. Yaqui says It] wasn't raiders.” “Send Yaqui to find the hess’ trall, an’ let's figger,” said Ladd. “Shore this 's no raider job." n the swift search that ensued Gale did not have anything to say; but his mind was forming a conclusion. When he found his old saddle and bridle missing from the peg in the barn his conclusion became a positive convie- tlon, and it made him, for the moment, cold and sick and speechless. “Hey, Dick, don’t take it so much to heart,” said Belding. “We'll llkely find Sol, and if we don’t, there’s other good horses.” “I'm not think'ng of Sol,” replied Gale. Ladd cast a sharp glance at Gale, snapped his fingers, and said: “D—n me if T ain’t guessed It too!" “What's wrong with you locoed gents?” bluntly demanded Belding. “Nell has started for Casita,” burst out Gale. “She has gone to fetch Mercedes some word about Thorne. Oh, Belding, you needn’t shake your head. I know she's gone. She tried to persuade me to go, and was furious when I wouldn't.”” “I don't believe it,” replied Beldirg, hoarsely. “Nell may have her temper. 'She’s a little devil at times, but she always had good sense.” “Tom, you can gamble she’s gone,” sald Ladd. | “Aw, h—1, no! Jim, what do you think?” implored Belding. “I reckon Sol's white head is point- ed level and stralght down Casita trail. An’ Nell can ride. We're losin” time.” That roused Beldlng to action. “I say you're all wrong,” he yelled, starting for the corrals. “She’s only taking a little ride, same as she’s done often. But rustle now. Find out. Dick, you ride cross the valley. Jim, you hunt up and down the river. I'll head up San Felipe way. And you, Laddy, take Diablo and hit the Casita trail. If she really has gone after Thorne you can catch her in an hour or s0.” “Shore T'll go,” replied Ladd. “But, Beldin’, if you're not plumb crazy That big white Not In an hour you're close to it. devil can’t catch Sol. or a day or a week!” “Laddy, you mean to say Sol Is a faster horse than Diablo?” thundered Belding, his face purple. “Shore I meuan to tell you just that there,” replied the ranger. “I'll ride veur Blanco Devil as he never was rid before, 'cept once when a d—n sight better hossman than I am couldn't make him outrun Sol.” Without more words the men sad- dled and were off. The interminable time that followed contained for Gale about as much suspense as he could well bear. What astonished him and helped him greatly to fight off actual distress was the endurance of Neil's mother. Early on the morning of the second day, Gale saw three white horses and a pay come wearily stepping down the road. He heard Blanco Sol's familiar whistle, and he leaped up wild with joy. The horse was riderless. Gale's “Blanco Sol Gone!” Yelled Belding, in a Rage. sudden joy Teceived a violent check, then resurged when he saw a limp form in Jim Lash’'s arms. Ladd was supporting a horseman who wore a military uniform. Gale shouted with joy and ran into the house to tell the good news. It was the ever-thoughtful Mrs. Belding who prevented him from rushing to tell Mercedes. Lash handed down a ragged, travel- stained, wan girl into Belding's arms. “Dad! Mamma!” It was indeed a repentant Nell, but there was spirit yet in the tired blue eyes. Then she caught sight of Gale and gave him a faint smile. “Hello—DlIck.” “Nell!"” Gale reached for her hand, held it tightly, and found speech diffi- cult. “You needn’t worry—ahout your old horse,” she sald, as Belding carried her toward the door. “Oh, Dick! Blanco Sol is—glorious!” Gale turned to greet his friend. In- deed, it was but a haggard ghost of the cavalryman. Thorne looked ill or wounded. Gale's greeting was also a question full of fear. Therne's answer was a falnt smile. He seemed ready to drop from the saddle. Gale helped Ladd hold Thorne upon the horse until they reached the house. Belding came out Agaln. His welcome was checked as he saw the condition of the cavalryman. Thorne reeled into Dick's arms. But he was able to stand and walk. “I'm not — hurt. Only weak — starved,” he said. “Is Mercedes— Take me to her.” “She’ll be well the minute she sees him,” averred Belding, as he and Gale led the cavalryman to Mercedes’ room. There they left him; and Gale, at least, felt his ears ringing with the girl's broken cry of joy. When Belding and Gale hurried forth again the rangers were tending the tired horses. Upon returning to the house Jim Lash calmly lit his pipe, and Ladd declared that, hungry as he was, he had to tell his story. “Shore, Beldin',” began Ladd, “that was funny about Diablo catchin’ Blanco Sol. Funny ain’t the word. I nearly laughed myself to death. Well, T rode in Sol's tracks all the way to Casita. Never seen a gebel or a ralder till I got to town. I went straight to the camp of the cavalry- men, an’ found them just coolin’ off an' dressin’ down their hosses after waat looked to me like a big ride. “Some soldier took me to an officer's tent. Nell was there, some white an’ all in, She just sald, ‘Laddy! Thorne was there, too, an' he was bein’ worked over by the camp doc- tor. I didn't ask no questions, be- cause I seen quiet was needed round that tent. After satisfying myself that Nell was “all right, an’ Thorne in no danger, I went out. “Shore there was so darn many fel- lers who wanted to an* trled to tell me what'd come off, I thought I'd never find out. But I got the story plece by plece. An’ here’s what hap- pened : “Nell rode Blanco Sol a-tearin’ into camp, an’ had a crowd round her in a jiffy. She told who she was, where she'd come from, an’ what she wanted. Well, it seemed a day or so before Nell got there the cavalrymen had heard word of Thorne. You see, Thorne had left camp on leave of ab- sence some time before. In a few more days It turned out pretty sure that for some reason Rojas was holdin’ Thorne. + (Contilnuea In Next lssue) “EXPERIENCE” AT THE ELKO THEATRE TONIGHT ONLY Achicving a distinct triumph be- cause of its beauty and artistry, George Fitzmaurice’s splendid Para- mnount picture, “Experience” which was presented at the Elko theatre iast January, where it met with ex- ‘ceptional success by those who saw ‘t. The production is one of except- ional pictorial value, the story has charm all its own. Richard Barthel- mess as Youth, was the featured player, and in the support were such well known players as John Miltern, Marjorie Daw, E. J. Radcliffe, and Edna Wharton, who recently was hailed as the most beautiful girl in New York. The costumes were cich and the scttings beautiful and irtistic. Inclement weather prevent- ed numerous persons from viewing it at its first appearance here and 30 many requests were received, that it was decided to bring it back for onc day, tonight at the Elko. “THE FAST MAIL” AT THE GRAND THEATRE TONIGHT There can be no doutt about the ‘ntertainment value of “The Fast Mail” the William Fox melodrama which will be shown for the last time tonight at the Grand theatre. It is wction plus and contains enough thrills to satisfy even the most crit- ical movie fan. *The Fast Mail”, which was pro- duced from Lincoln J. Carter’s sen- sational railroad melodrama, is even better than the original play which ran for 22 seasons. All the thrills that delighted the popular love for exciting melodramas are shown on the screen with the realism which could not be attempted on the stage. There is not a duil moment in the :ntire film. Climax Joilows climax and thrill mounts upon thrill during the course of this cyclonic malo- drama.. “The Fast Mail”, which is a pic- tureization of Lincoln J. Carters well known melodrama of that name is the wildest, wooliest, rip-roaring motion picture that h: flickered across the silver sheet these many days. The cast is well chosen with Charles Jones, Eileen Percey, James Mason, William Steele, Adolph Men- jou and Harry Dunkinson in tae leading roles. “MAN FROM HELL'’S RIVER” AT GRAND THEATRE SUNDAY The vivid, colorful, turbulent life of the Canadian Northwest forms the background for the stirring action >f “The Man From Hell's River” *oming to the Grand theatre for two days beginning Sunday. It is the work ot James Oliver Curwood who nas written many successes for the sereen. Irving Cummings, who di- rected the feature, also plays the leading role that of an officer in the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. The story is one that requires the best sort of acting to put it over, and Cummings’ naturalness gives it its big appeal. He returns from the frozen north to find his swectheart the wife of a vicious renegade. How Ye triumphs in one of the most crashing climaxes of the screen is enough to send shivers up and down the spine of the spectator. To see it will make you clutch your seat and hang on to the finish. In the supporting cast are Eva Novak, Wal- lace Beery, and Rin tin, the mighty dog of valor. *IMPOSSIBLE MRS. BELLEW AT ELKO THEATRE SUNDAY Miss Gloria Swanson, who appears in the leading role of “The Impossi- ble Mrs. Bellew,” which is the pro- gram Sunday and Monday at the Elko theatre, displays a number of gowns that will delight the feminine audience—moving in the gilded soc- iety of the continent, dancing through the gay capitols in the pic- ture, Miss Swanson’s role demanded a gorgeous wardrobe, and this was secured in Paris—selected by Miss Swanson, who made the trip for this purpose. Director Sam Wood selected a cap- able cast for the support of Miss Swanson. Robert Cain is the hus- band who causes all the trouble, while Conrad Nagel plays opposite the star in the role of a novelist. Mickey and Pat Moore are seen in sympa- thetic kiddie roles, while other wel! known players include Richard Wayne, June Elvidge, Herbert Stand- ing, Helen Dunbar, Arthur Hull and Clarence Burton. 1t is pointed out that “The Impos- sible Mrs. Bellew” will have an es- pecial appeal to women, as Miss Swanson wears several choice gowns brought direct from Paris by the star. “PARAMOUNT TOWN” AT ELKO SUNDAY AND MONDAY As an added attraction, a film tak- en at “Paramount Town”, where the famous Paramount pictures are made showing intimate scenes of the well- known Paramount stars at work, at play and in their homes, will be shown Sunday and Monday at the Elko theatre on the same program with Gloria Swanson in “The Im- possible Mrs. Bellew”. Walpurgis Night. In Germany “Walpurgis night”—the night preceding the first day of May— corresponds to Hallowe'en in this country, and considering that All Saints’ day was originally kept on the first of May, there would appear to be but little doubt that Hallowe’en and Walpurgis have a common origin, which, doubtless, dates back to the earliest belief In a personal and all powerful Evil one. The German peasants believe that on Walpurgls night there s a witch festival, or gathering of evil spirits on the summit of the Brocken, in the Harts mountains, and the malign in. fluenc# of this convocation is believed to be felt all over the surrounding country. It was an old custom, and still observed in some places, to light great bonfires of straw or brush on that night, to drive away the spirits of darkness supposed to be hovering in the air.
