Is it your intention to camp all 'night on this platform or were you expecting somebody to call for you? Is it possible that in a moment of exuberance I frightened Dingle Bill away and thus deprived you of your transportation?" "No, Pll excuse you of leaving us stranded. Mr. Dingle would. have de- 1 parted in a little while, but not so precipitately. And it's none of your business what we're doing here. How- ever, I do not mind telling you that we ire waiting for Don. Jaime Miguel Higuenes to send a car over for us. Do you know Don Jaime?" "Pve known him all my life." "What sort of man is he?" "We -ell, average, I'd call him. Just a fair sample of a greaser. Folks in this country don't scorn to mind hav- mg him around. Guess Don Jaime has them fooled more or less. Are you certain Don Jaime knew you were due here today?" "Why, I wrote him a week ago." "Well, the hair must have slipped somewhere or he'd have had his car here to meet you—yes, and a light motor truck for your baggage. One thing Higuenes prides himself on is his punctuality and hospitality. To have a guest standing around on this hot platform all day waiting for a ear that never came would just about break his heart. I'm very Much afraid, Mees—I mean Mise—Antrim, that unless I get word to Don Jaime that you're here, the station master will have to take you in. And I know he isn't equipped for company." Roberta's, troubled gaze met the young man's with just a hint of tol- erance now. "I suppose you have your humane moments, Mr. Higgins. Remember, however, I am eertainly going to prosecute you for the at- tempted murder of Mr. Dingle, so dent tangle yourself up in rash prom- ises to render first aid. You may send word to Senor Higuenes if you wish, but all it will avail yea is my thanks." "You may even omit the thanks," he replied brightly. "I am delighted tc have an opportunity to withdraw from your peppery presence, so with your permission,.senorita, I shall ride swiftly to the humble abode of this Higuenes and tell him to beat it over here like the devil with his car."

The country through which- they proceeded was brown and semi -arid, a plain with deep dry barrancas, cover- ed with a growth of stunted sage and mesquite; yet despite its aridity an unconscionable number of sleek white- faced steers lifted their heads to gaee at the car going by.

She gazed across the lovely valley and thought: "All those poor, simple people are sheltered under the mantle of his philanthropy. He is...the master, the feudal baron. Works with his men. Sits around campfires at night with his vaqueros, adjusting himself to comradeship with simple, primitive men and, doubtless, not finding it at all troublesome. Roberta, you're trembling on the brink of a great ad- venture." The car rolled across wooden bridgee over irrigation canals; and on the borders of a distant field Rob- erta say a long queof teams draw- ing mowers, the faint clatter of which was borne down. wind to her. Dozens of hay wagons were loading and stacking the new -cut alfalfa hay; per- haps a hunched men were raking and piling it. The fragrance of the har- vest came pleasantly to the girl's senses and it occurred to her that this valley had once been dry and barren until metamorphosed into a vast gar- den. by men of vision, courage and faith. To her it seemed a big, worth- while thing to have done—something Homeric. There was drama he it--- poetry, too. She knew no little mai had done this, and that none but a big man could carry on with it. And her impatience to meet Don Jaime Miguel Higuenes increased. They swept up through the Indian pueblo and were barked at and pur- sued by incalculable numbers of dogs of assorted breeds. "If Glenn Hack- ett were the overlord here he would banish. those curs," Roberta thought, "and justify his act on the ground of efficiency and eanitation. But these peones must have their dogs and doubtless Don. Jaime realizes that. Let them have dogs—millions of them. What affair is it of his? I dare say he has dogs of his own." Assorted brown children, in vary- ing degrees of nudity, stared and shouted at them; fat brown women, seated on. doorsteps or hanging oher fences in homely gossip, bowed or curtsied; then. they were through the pueblo and rushing up a gentle elope, through an avenue of oleanders, past great white barns and onto the an - TeaeS9:0177 tEe yareks° A cestral home of Don Jaime Miguel Hi times The dusky driver sounded nemia in g . his siren long and with a primitive enjoyment in its harsh dissonance; a voice cried within the high -adobe wall that surrounded the hacienda and the great wrought -iron gates were flung wide to admit them.
