CHAPTER IV.
BLAZE KILDA1tE ARItIVES.
Ten days later a stranger crossed
the desert from Golconda. .He headed
due north for the Benoit water hole.
He knew he was entering Paradise
Valley by forbiddc., ways. The hint
that he take the south road had reach-
ed him a day back.
The stranger sent his horse ahead
at a hard gallop. He found that the
spring had made a small pool in the
willows. He swung to the ground and
lot served the cinches, but almost in-
stantly the animal lifted his dripping
' muzzle and turned an inquiring eye
behind hint. The stranger followed
suit. In the shadow of the trees two
men sat.
The older of the two, a black -vis-
aged fellow spoke: "Howdy, strang-
er!"
It was Skip Lavelle, Acklin's straw -
boss.
"Howdy Kildare responded in the
same flat, tell -nothing tone in which
he had been accosted. His keen eyes
took in the rifles reposing so conven-
iently in their laps, the soiled cards,
and the interrupted game of rnonte.
The man who had addressed him
got to his feet.
"What's your name, stranger."
"Kildare; Blaze Kildare."
"Yu.h ain't ahnin' to linger around
here, be yuh?"
Blaze eyed him thoughtfully as he,
drawled: his reply: "Why, that all de-!
pends, don't it?"
He turned and started to lift the
saddle off his horse.
"No use takin" that down, mister; a
nary nit!"
'Thr answer, Kildare pulled it to the
ground.
"Now listen to me, muchacho," he
purred. "I'm going to breathe nay
horse, and we're going to drink our
bellies full ofwater before wet light
gut of here. What's all the big excite,
anyways. I got a permit to cross
this country."
"Let's see it," Skip and the other,
Chet Devine, demanded.
"Now what did I do with that per-
mit?"
He took off his hat, and peered into
it.
"Oh, yes!" He laughed. "Hare it
is!''
And in his hand Kildare held a
derringer that had been strapped in
his sombrero.
"Stick 'ern up!" he said in `velvety
tones.
"Well, I'll be damned!" Skip began.
He stopped short, and instinctively
Blaze sensed that some one was back
of him; but he dared not turn around.
Before "a`k':p could recover his tongue,
a voice droned in sweet arta dreadful
tones in. Kildare's oar: "That's good!
That's awfully good! It's your turn

rect than he knew: "There wasn't a

buys in the old Webster place."
"The big boss an& he's been gettin'
thick. We're gold' to have trouble.
If you're dome let's ride up and have
a look at the valley."
They sat in their saddles and stnok-
ed as the red-haired man talked.
"That's a big place there in the
bend, just before Rebel Creek gets to
the river," Blaze drawled.
"That's the Rancho Buena Vista.
Wait till you see the girl that lives
there—Old Ironside's daughter. She's
the reason they named this place
Paradise. Her daddy is the king -pin
of the Basques. He's got a son, too.

CHAPTER V.
A CHANCE MEETING.
The firat cool hint of evening reach-
ed Kildare as he picked his way along
the Little Washoe. The water gurgled
at his feet. He pressed his knees into
his horses sides and was about to ford
the stream when the animal threw
back its ears. It was an unmistak-
able sign, Some one was coming! Kil-
dare reached

so, he heard a child crying. He wheel-
edhis horse and sent him along the
soft bank about fifty yards to where
the river turned.
A. burro stood knee-deep in the mid-
dle of the river. Marooned on his back
was a frightened child, madly clutch-
ing a fishing prole in one hand, while
in the other he held a string of small'
bass. Struggling in the water at the
burro's head was a girl;; the mast
beautiful girl Blaze had ever seen.
