He had forgotten | DESERT AND ROSE . . [3 . . . . By MAY C. RINGWALT. . From the open flap of the small tent | sendded a lizard and sociably sprawled on a warm, red patch of sunshine splashing the In- dian blanket spread at his feet, but Norman, bend- ing over a letter- pad atilt on his hunched knees, was too absorbed in the business of his scratching fountain pen to even casually notice his neighborly little visitor. Finally, the man looked up from the | finished sheet, pushed back his som- brero, wiped the sweat from the band of fair, white skin that ribbed his tanned brow, and, with a sigh so deep ' drawn that it started a quiver of green I movement on the rug, read over the| letter he had written and now held in | his thin brown hand. It began with brusk tenderness: | “Dear:—At last the verdict's 1n.i and instead of the expected ‘hanged by the neck until he shall die, a sen- tence of imprisonment for life. “For your sake, I carried the case to the highest court of appeal. Went to | Los Angeles and had the great Wil- liard look me over. Both lungs havei healed. Provided I stay put—go on in the same sun-baked rut of the past two ; years, there {8 no reason why I should not rival Methuselah in hoariness of age. My life the forfeit if I break parole and attempt an escape. | “And so, sweetheart, we come to the i parting of the ways, my way and yours. I ought to have given you up long ago. But at first I thought it would be for such a little while that it would not matter, and afterward I hoped against hope that I should be able to go back to civilization and you. “Now I release you, little girl—insist that our engagement end. “Good-by, dear, and God bless you. You need not answer this. I shall un- derstand when your letters stop com- ing. No, do not offer to go on writing as friend to friend. I could not quite bear that now. NORMAN.” Silently, without a quiver of the grim-set lips, he folded the letter, slipped it into a stamped, addressed envelope, slowly sealed it, then, hls‘ head bowed in his hands, he began to sob—with a man's anguish and the abandon of a little child. i The days dragged by, heavy-weighted | with a sense of prison chains. Norman had boasted that he still had | his work. But he could not write. He could not think. He could only fever- ishly wait for the letter that he had asked her not to write. Yet not until two weeks had passed, and he knew at last that she had taken him at his word, did he realize to the full measure of bitter disappointment how much he had counted upon one more letter from her. The east-bound overland was due in an hour, and he was going on it.} He stood on the station platform walting—trembling from excitement and haste of packing, every now and again casting a stealthy glance over his shoulder as though afraid of being watched. With the caution of the real pris oner breaking jail, he had only bought & ticket to a near-by point. The kind-hearted meddlesomeness of his neighbors, the tyranny of the doctor under whose thumb he had been 80 many months, were capable of go- ing any lengths of interference when it came to a matter of what they con- sidered his own good. A whistle sounded. A flare of light swept the gathering night from the track. He snatched up his suit-cases— impatiently dropped them again. The i that the west-bound train passed ten minutes before his own. The puffing engine paused for breath the usual short, hurried instant of an express. A black parallelogram of a trunk was tossed from the baggage car. The black figure of a woman pas- senper got off the Pullman. The express gave a creak forward— rattled, rumbled, and roared into the awaiting blackness. The new arrival stood hesitating, a nervous, lost-child air about the slight, shadowy figure. Norman took a quick step to her assistance. The blurred light of the station lamp softly en- wrapped her. He started back, a cold fear clutch- ing his heart. The brooding of the last | hideous days had been too great a strain—his mind had suddenly given way! | it the woman did : she t aim wi 4 glad cry of: ¢ ure and comfo Ty [then come to Avondale Spri fort of each and eve tart back— | 1 not the hallucination of a s breakdown.
