GLORY RIDES THE RANGE | (Continued from Preceeding Page.) *You'll repent young woman!'" Glorlana answered his exasperated ery with an overshoulder laugh Glory now sought out her friend, Miss Philomena Miracle. She of the ctrange name was a rough-bred girl who had just left the delights of the open life to tend bar for Edward | Bristo at his “near-beer” pla the | “Oasls,” being enamored of Edward | and hopeful of a long-delayed pro- posal of marriage. ‘Hello, dewry! What'll you have?" “Not a thing to drink.” said Glor- fana. You The dry-barmaid’s only half-velled the snapping s “I dropped in just to see with my own eyes that the report you're here was true. ,Could hardly believe | 1 always tHought you had spunk,” Gloriana continued in a grieved tone. “It hurts me—it really does—to see a man-strong, ranch-bred girl like you—and the best looker. in Rabbit Ear—prying the tin tops off soda bottles. What's the idea, Mena? Do you think you're having a career?"” “The idea is that Ed Bristo thinks I'm necessary to his business and comfort,” countered Philomena, with breezy sniff. ‘“Does it happen that you've been slanting your yellow orbs his way? Glory Frazer, you ain't got interested in Edward?" “No, no, Mena, I haven't a wisp of interest in our Eddie, except as concerns you. What I really came for is to tell you the pinch I'm in and ask you to help me out. Can't you—won't you—" She paused to gather courage, then took the plunge: “Come on back to the range you never should have left, Mena—get to doing something worth while! My dad’s had to make an unexpected trip down into Mexico, and it's up to me to run the ranch. Come along back to the saddle and be my foreman.” “But who is there to fore?” the dark girl demanded, cautious from past acquaintance with the Frazer la- bor troubles, although obviously al- lured by the prospect of rank. “There is Mary Ellen O'Grady to start with, and there will be T. Weed Gay, when he shakes off certain ties that bind him—namely, wrist and ankle cuffs.” It took considerable persuasion to induce Philomena to desert the Oasis, but when Glory convinced her that a lttle absence from Edward might make his heart grow fonder, Mena consented to go to the ranch with her friend. She was to be “foreman” and to ride a splendid horse she had al- ways coveted, called Flame. So it was settled, and in a few days the women at Blaze ranch were joined by the released T. Weed Gay. Glory had decided to stay on the place and run it. Tumble Weed was a genial, depend- able sort of ruffan. On the night of his arrival he scratched his false this silly stand, don't say? Off the stuff?" long black lashes mirth of her thatch as meditatively as though the hair grew from his scalp, then turned to Gloriana. *“If you're the old man and Mena" forewoman and Ellen's the cook, ~~Little fishes, what am I?" ‘ou, Tumble Weed? Why, you'r the outAt!™ After supper, Gloriana settled be- fore the desk to attend to the con- fusion left by her father's hurried departure. ' ome time was consumed restoring the ranch “office” to its wonted neatness, but at last all their business papers were assorted to her satistaction. She turned to re-exam- ine at leisture the parcel from the south which had brought such. light- ning change into their lives. As she bogan to undo the wrap- pings, she noticed that the postage had been pald in United States stamps. The fact surprised her until she remembered that Nogales was ac- tually on the boundary; that to drop mall within the States required but the crossing of a street. The next second, however, her ex- pression of reassurance changed to intense scrutiny. And as she stared & doubt so cruel as to be well-nigh incredible hurt her mind. The only postmark stamped upon the wrapping paper was that of Rab- bit Ear, Ariz. The packet had not traveled by mail from Nogales or any other border office. It had been posted in their own rallroad town. The finger of suspicion straightened pointed. Timothy Rudd, late of M ouri, had been trading recently in Mexican horses; she knew that. With overyone else in their little world, he must have heard the detalls of their loss. Had he chanced upon WIFE TAKES HUSBANDSADVICE And Is Made Well Again Lydia E.

Although further urged by the hos- pitality of Western tradition, she gazed questioningly at him, not able to realize whether she was glad or sorry that he had come. “I fully appreciate that I've never been invited over here,” he continued, after stepping inside and closing the door. “But I have ample excuse tonight.” “An excuse, Phil, that nullifies your promise to me to keep away?” “You'd give me back that promise door Phil if you knew how worried I am about you—have been ever since hearing that your father had left you alone.” “Then you know he has gone?
