CHAPTER VII.
It was hard, this waiting in Santa
Bonita. Her only companion was
the elderly Mrs. Warden. The girl,
Lanya Correy, who might have been
friendly, did not come to the house
after that first evening. Lanya lived
in the little dobe directly across the
.street, and often Virginia saw her
come and go. But the girl never
glanced her way.
Steve Barron came riding along
the street, leading the gray mare
that Jim Randall had lent Virginia.
He smiled and took off his som-
brero.

"Change to riding clothes, Vir-
ginia," he said. "Pd like you to
.ride out to my ranch With me."
He talked with Sarah Warden
while she changed, then they left
the house and mounted. As they
rode away Virginia saw Lanya
Correy standing in the doorway of
her house She smiled, but the
dark-haired girl looked away. There
was annoyance on Lanya's face, and
Virginia decided it was because she
was riding with Steve Barron,
They rode southwest away from
the town, away front the lagged
skyline of the Silver Ridge. and
headed across the flatlands which
were half desert, half cattle lands.
After an hour, Steve reined in.
"Wait," he said. He dismounted
and walked, leading his horse, to a
spire of red rock,
Watching him, her hand shielding
her eyes from the sun's glare, she
saw with surprise that an Indian
was squatting at the base of the
rock. A horse stood behind the
rock. Steve began to talk to the
Indian, his voice reaching Virginia.
He was talking the Indian's tongue,
and adding to it the sign language.
Shortly, the Indian rose and went
to his borse and threw 1liinself upon
its bare back and rode rapidly away.
When Steve returned Virginia
said, "You talked his lane untie"
FIe smiled !ain't' "T''e- ,v.it
Apaches on my father's ranch in
Mexico," he told her
* * *
By midday they were at his
ranch. They had % meal in the big
adobe hacienda, a meal served by a
stout middle-aged Mexican woman.
Afterward Virginia sat on the ve-
randa while Steve talked with his
Mexican and Indian vaqueros. There
was no white man about the place.
In an hour they were in the sad-
dle again, still riding southwest..
Steve waved his arm in a wide
gesture that took in the vast• sweep.
Mg rangeland. "Some day my ranch
shall extend for many smiles." he
said. "Some day I shall owe 50,000
bead of cattle, i shall own a cattle
empire. This country will not al-
ways be wild. It will change, and
I -I shall own much of it.
"A woman -a beautiful senorita
-shouldn't refuse to be the wife of
such a rich man, do you think so,
Virginia?" he asked.
The question startled her. He
must, she thought, be thinking of
Lanya Correy. He didn't speak for
a long time. They rode around a
vast herd of cattle and on toward
some low hills. He halted then, and
said:
"I'll watt here, Virginia,"
She looked at him, puzzled again.
Then looked toward the hills. A
horseman was riding toward them,
toward the spot where she stood.
She glanced at Steve again and un-
derstbad his smile. Her heart
leaped. _
The distant rider must be -Phil!
She gave her horse the whip and
rode forward at a gallop. The
horseman waved, came riding fast
to meet her.

"I've been in love with this boy
fora year, but 1 can hardly see hint
once a month! Then I have to slip
out, and tell lies, or have friends

this for my good, hut it's only mak-
ing it hard for inc.

DISGUSTED.
* A girl who regularly deceives
* her smother, and consistently lies,
* cannot be trusted by her smother
* or:anyone else. Site must be Ms-
* ciplined like a child half her age,
* until she collies to realize that the
* only way to have fun in this
* world is to be honest, and
* straightforward, and dependable
* -in all things.
Instead of rebelling against
* these rules your mother has had
* to impose, you should be ashamed
* that she found them necessary.
* Don't you realize how much
* easier it would be for your
* mother, who is an ill woman, to.
* let you come and go as you
* please, get into what mischief you
* will? Instead, she has to watch
4' you constantly. She must be half-
* frantic with worry all the time,
* Yet you and this boy have
* the effrontery to misjudge ' her
* motives! If he encourages such
* wicked suspicions, he is not fit
for you to know. The lad to be
* trusted is the one who inspires
* the best in you, not the lowest,
* You are too full of resentment
* just now to realize the enormity
* of your thinking and your re-
* suiting conduct. Later on, when
* you are older, you will see the
* reason for all . this control -and
* how you will wish then that you
* had had the sense to turn to the
* right! ,
* The longer you keep up this
* defiance, and this lying, the hard-
* er it will be for you to stop. You
will grow to be a girl that nice
girls are not allowed to know,
and your name will become a by-
word among -the boys on the
street corners. Your whole social
life n'ill collapse -and then it
will be too late.
I hope you will take this serious-
ly today, and decide, once and
for all, to behave yourself, Don't
sneak out to meet any boy. Never
tell another lie. Determine to
slake your mother proud'of you,
so she can trust you again. When
she does, you will be given the
same privileges other girls have.
You have violated her faith, and
until you regain it you must en-
dure the restrictions she imposes.
