The girl shaded her eyps with her hand and watched this rider and his | orse. A red horse it was—a great | ed horse whose mane lifted above im like a cloud, whose beautiful body lay stretched along the earth in skimming flight, whose whole make and seeming were oddly familiar. For a long moment she watched, while her eyes grew round with won- der and her lips fell apart. Then she dropped her hand and laid it on Redstar's neck as if she made sure of his living presence. “Sweetheart,’”’ ;she said at last, in- credulousiy. You weren’t here be- neath me f. swear you ran yonder, as sure as death!” And far off there where he rode "like the wind itself toward the mys- tery of the all-engulfing Border, Ve- lantri®@ rose in his stirrups and scanned the solitary horse and rider, | standing like a statue high on the mesa's edge. He waa too far away to see the wondrous beauty of the red king| facing him, or to know his rider for a woman. But with his characteris- tic galety he stood up for a second and ‘sweeping the broad hat from his head, waved it in circles And Val Hannon, answering the stranger's signal, raised a hand above her head. [ CHAPTER 1V. The Cross in the Wilderness The summer drowsed upon the land. The winds had died this day and the brazen sun was monarch. here the Little Antelope trickled ggishly between its low banks, to urse¢ the straggling growth of trees hat lined it, the heat was somewhat tempered. = Cottonwoods grew here, tall and slim, and many wasatcha trees to spread their lacy shadow, and . there were desert flowers planted in stone edged beds among the sand, while the sword-like spikes of maguey plant reached out to catch the unwary. This was a desert gar- den, rugged, grassless, inured to heat and drought, yet pleasant to the eye and mind as many a more favored spot was not. To the west of the garden and beyond the trees, standing the | and soul and hody—these came to the doogs of Refugio and none was turned away, Ifor at those doors stood Hillairs, who for forty years watched the stretehing plains, He had seen some piteous things, and more that were tragie, and some that were bright with faith and courage and everlasting fdelity—such as John Hannon's love for his blind wife—~and he was gentle with understanding, But those who came te the Mission must: work, for Father Hillaire was poor In worldly goods and the scant fare that was so free on the long Father had ‘board in the great bare living-room behind the church must be taken from the sol! with unceasing labor, Frijoles grew on the level stretehes *IN.

Brown bread and milk and simple home- made wine, and the frijoles always, these waited the comer at the Mis- sion steps, be it dawn or dark or in the dead of night. But sometimes the slices of the dark bread were thin, the tea strongly flavored with sage, for gold came scarcely to the padre's coffers in these days. The sun went down toward the west and the long blue shadows started out across the level floor from the lone shafts of stone and the table- lands of the mesas, and the little wind began to whisper from the KEEP LODKING YOUNG It’s Easy—If You Know Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets ‘The secret of keeping young is to feel Kwn;om do this you must watch your iver and bowels—there’s no need of having a sallow complexion—dark rings under your eyes—pimples—a bilious look in your face—dull eves with no sparkle.

Ave!" He flung himself from the saddle and caught the padre's hands in both his own, pumping them up and down, boy fashion. “My son!" said Father Hillaire, gladly, searching the sparkling face, “Son——son! It has been long, long since Refugio has seen you. Come in. Have you eaten?” “Not since yesterday, but matters?”. He laid his arm affectionately about the old man's shoulders and turned toward the garden, carefully gathering the bridle rein he had not loosed. So they entered the garden, draw- ing the great red stallion after, and the father stopped and securely closed the gates. “Bonifacio,” he called depths where the shadows were al- ready falling, ‘‘come and take The Comet., Give him,” he continued as a slim youth camg briskly up through the wasatcha trees, “a little water— hot much—and rub him down well.
