I think it's scandalous."
"But I'm making sure they earn
every penny -I've put the brakes
on.
In the seconds it took him to
erose to her, her mind leapt back
three years -to a dance at Alex-
andria. To the week that followed,
when she had dined and ridden and
sailed with this man; to a week that
had been ecstasy; to a week when
she had been 17 and hopelessly in-
fatuated with a man to whom love
was like so!,Iiering - a series of
campaign,.
A week only. At its end he had
turned to his next campaign. And
she had instantly hated him as
deeply as she had loved him. The
next time they had met, impetuous
and bitter with her sense of injury,
she had quarreled with hint. He
had laughed at her, and called her
a child. Site had sent him away,
telling him never to speak to her
again. He had obeyed. She had
not seen hint again -until now.
*
He was even more dashingly
handsome. He was bronzed and
lean and strong looking, But three
years seemed to have aged him. His
lips had turned firmer, his eyes
grown strange with an old -young
look, as if they had seen too touch
of life's hardness. He was smiling
at her now. his smile still charm-
ing. He meant to talk, of course.
And recall the part. But no -
"Miss Virginia Ames?"
She drew a canner breath. He
wasn't going to recall the past.
"Yes," coldly, "1 am Miss Antes."
"I am Lt, James Randall," he
said crisply, "I ant investigating
last eight's stage holdup. I under-
stand you were a passenger."
"Yes, 1 was,"
"Do you mind if I ask some ques-
tions? Tt will take but fife ntiu-
n les."
"Very well."

He sfood before her, one hand
]folding his campaign hat, the other
resting on his saber hilt. The cav-
alry's yellow stripes running his
breeches from boot -top to belt made
his legs appear very long. He
looked so much at ease it annoyed
her. Virginia's own tension was
terrific and increasing,
"First, Miss Ames, did you have
anything taken?"
"Only a cameo pin, It was not
of great value."
"You were the only passenger
robbed?"
"I think so -yes."
"The bandits were more con-
cerned with a money box the stage
carried?"
She said indifferently, "Yes,"
He nodded. "Could you describe
the bandits?"
*
She bad difficulty keeping her
voice steady; her hatred and con-
tempt for him seemed to come up
into her throat.
"Two of them, perhaps. The one
-the leader -was masked." With
few words she described the holdup
men.
Jim Randall regarded her thought-
fully. "The other passengers told
me there was a letter involved. You
dropped it, and one of the bandits
picked it up. The leader made him
return it,"
"There was a letter" Virginia
said, breathless now. 'It was -
valueless except ,now.
myself."
"Ole, something personal , . His
voice was infuriatingly matter of
fact, He was carrying this stranger
business too far, making a farce
of it. Virginia's lips thinned in
anger. She hated his smug conceit.
She wondered suddenly how many
girls he had -laughed at.
Then he was saying, "I under-
stand you are traveling to Santa
Bonita, Have you arranged trans-
portation?"
She gave him a long cold look, "T
have. I have hired a carriage and
driver. I ant starting today."
e *
His eyes were a smoke blue; they
were suddenly less mocking, He
• said, "Do you mind my asking if
you have people bhere, Miss Ames?"
She gave him a bright smile.. She
relished this; he had lost his post -
campaign skirmish. He had left
his flank unguarded,
"I have my fiance there," site said
deliberately.
"Oh, your fiance," He took it
without a change of expression. He
had no heart; he'd allow her no tiny
victory, Then he was smiling.
"Congratulations, Miss Ames. Per-
haps I know the -fortunate man."
She held her head high. "His
game is Philip Lawrence."
She caught a glimmer of expres-
sion in the smoke blue of his eyes,
"Philip Lawrence," 115 sampled
the name. "No, I do not know him.
His name is, however, familiar,"

Mother Love
Several years ago, during a pro-
longed drought in Australia, the wild
creatures of the bush became so
thirsty that they braved even the
dangerous dooryards of settlers for
a drink of water. So the settlers,
whose cattle and sheep died like flies
for lack of water, were constantly
on the lookout lest these wild crea-
tures drink what 'little water was
left, Each man lung a loaded gun
near the doorway to be used at a
moment's notice.
Such a call came one hot sum-
mer's day. Instantly the settler
seized his gun and stood ready.
Out of the bush a mother kanga-
roo, with a young one in her pouch,
came loping across the brown, pow-
dery open space surrounding the
house. Nearer and nearer she came,
her beautiful brown eyes fixed be-
seechingly on the settler. She made
her way straight to the tub of
water placed there for the use of
the few domestic animals that had
aurvived. Still the settler did not
shoot.
The water reached, she waited,
her soft gaze still fixed on the man,
while the young kangaroo in her
Sound drank its fill. Then she turn-
ed, without taking a drop for her-
self, and loped back across the
parched open apace and on into the
tangled depths of the bush. The
settler watched her until she dis-
appeared. Then he hung up his gun
and, with a choking in his throat,
went back to work, '
He is old enough for a pension,
But she keeps lura in debt, so he
