Terence awoke' in 'the Morning 'feel-.
ng much better than he would have
ilted• to. His ihurts of the day before;

to such an eXtent that they gave hint

Canyon. He woMd have liked to con-
tinue his hastily begin and impetuous

horses were brought, and Terence,
Mary aed Marshall rode over to the

said Mare -hall.' "We were glad . to
'help You.- And now—I can only say
that our hospitality can best be re-
paid by -forgetting you ever saw me

call home." "
Terence r glanced at ,Mary, and she
'lowered her heed in agitation. He
turned"bacieto Marshall, and said:-
, "I cannot promide to forget, Sir—
'. but I do pro -muse to treasure this
chance meeting as- a secret all my

been Unwilling to tell Marshall on the

Mary --Mary. Her name, end, her
picture, kept 'passing :through \ his
mind. as he rode toward teven, . Tem-
porarily she crewded out' of his mind
even the duties of hie- mission. He
'could thin of nothing ng e.sebut Mary.
'The -clear sky, the 'sunlight, the green
trees, the birds, everything spoke to
him of love on this morning, a
His reverie was interrupted sudden-
ly by a cloud of dust en the horiZon.
He -pulled up and watched intently.
The dust was quickly coming toward
him. He pulled his horse aside under

His suspicion that something Un-

down the road he saw tho four men
suddenly pull up at a • mountain

around a bend in the road in the op-

moment later a buckboard,tearing
along at great .speed, hove into sight.
As it same up te the springs Terence
saw the drtverispull .up, and jump

His ,heart beat fast as he caught a

now on edge, Terence -watched and
waited in alarm. The driver, Miguel,
was loosening the horses' reins. 'Then
he started off With his pail to get the

Suddenly the 'hidden band of men
charged forth from the _brush: upon

bandits. : .".
Sertsieg the situation 'he quickly
started a fire. Wheri It was going
