KYNE Illustrated by Allen Dean SYNOPSIS. been n Antrim, sheen herder, er has sill P Tom 1 , kiled in a fight with Don Jaime Miguel Higuenes, who has since been looking after the sheep, which now belong to Roberta Antrim, New York, Robe•:ta goes Texas to look after her interests and stays at Don Jaime's ranch.The writes home to another uncle, "Crooked d Bill" Latham, who wishes her to marrY (Genn Ii.ackett, his friend and lawyer. CHAPTER XXL---(Cont'd.) Crooked Bill read Hackett Roberta's message and waited for a hearty laugh. It did not come. "Dog your cats, Glenn," he protested, "where's your sense of humor?" "I see no humor in the situation, Mr. Latham. I can only sympathize with Roberta. There she is, the guest of the man who killed her uncle, and who has had the hardihood to make a jest at the expense of his victim. Not satisfied with that exhibition of bad taste, he had, apparently, commenced to pay his court to Roberta immediate- ly, which is most embarrassing and distressing to her. She will be forced to Ieave his house, of course, and de- cline to permit him to continue to serve her in the mater 'of conserving those damnable sheep." "You tarnation monkey, you. Isn't that exactly what I planned should happen? The situation works out to make you shine by contrast. In the veflectea light from this rascal Hi- guenes, who would probably be a knockout with a Texas country girl but a washout with Roberta, you loom up like a lighthouse in a fog. Rob- erta practically admits it already. She's anxious to clean up on those sheep and return—and when she does, boy, you'll certainly look good to her." "You think so?" "I know so." "I wish I could be as confident as you, Mr. Lathan. Roberta has one weakness, and this is her sense of humor. Like yours, it's a bit—er— diabolical." "Nonsense. Why, don't you see she's mad at me? She knows now that I !mew who Higuenes was, or at least that in. all. probability I suspected that he and Jim Higgins might be one and the same person. This Don Jaime was only about three years old when I left Texas and I took a chance that I was forgotten there by now and that he had never heard of me, or, hearing of me, would not recognize me as his father's old friend." "Who shot you in the heel, eh? A. peculiar friend, I should say.". "Served me right. I insulted him." "I wish I had never joined in this conspiracy with you, Mr. Latham." "Faint heart never won fair lady. My boy, don't you realize you have a chance to be a hero?" "I do not." "You're singularly dull. Motors is still climbing and you need more money to protect me. So you've de- cided that those sheep should be sold to get ready cash. Consequently you've had two important cases continued, which will enable you to go to Texas and arrange the sale of the sheep." "Who will I sell thein to?" "To me, fool, to me. I'll give you more money for them than anybody ('Ise, and the more money you realize on them the stronger you'll be with • Roberta! Also, you'll arrive in time ie put a crimp in the aspirations of hon Jaime Miguel Higuenes." "He might shoot me, Mr. Latham?" seatedreettecea , "He might, indeed, but if he should, :11 tie1Binehistiiute I ; that would be entirely your fault, If 'iaeatatniau„�lagarPns. he's at all like his father, he'll fight you with any weapon you name, from ehillalahs to guillotines, and fight you airly. You were no mean light heavyweight boxer in college and you've kept yourself in condition. Why, boy, you could make a monkey out of Higuenes—and in defence of Roberta 1—wow! After that, all you'd. have to do would be to get her to name the day." "But how can I be assured that he will be jealous of me?" "He can't help it. It's in his na- ture. And you know Roberta. Right now she's busy working on him. She'll make him fall in love with her and then, when she has hint helpless, she'll put herr foot in his face. The man who makes love to Roberta is a gone hombre, but the smart fellow who refuses to take her seriously is the chapwho's bound to win her. And, once won, she'll make the finest and most loyal wife in the world." Glenn Hackett pondered. • "There I may be something in what you say, Mr. Latham. Higuenes wrote her that chap named Jim Higgins had killed nel.e Tom and, having sold her nation, he has the audacity is ranch.

Well had be been nicknamed Crook- ed Bill! other hand Iliguenes may be a slow starter. Meanwhile I'll keep you ad- vised if anything new turns up—hey, don't hang up yet. Haring has just handed me another telegram, ... It may be from Bobby... No, it's from Higuenes. Oh, Glenn, will you listen to this?" And he read over the tele- phone: "When you see yocr ward again I should be a proud Iran to hear you address her as Mrs. Higuenes, or Hig- gins, whichever suits you best. To that end I request your permission to pay my court. I know the going will be hard but I have never been aceus- tomed to getting anywhere without a battle, so I will take a chance. You know my people so I do not have to furnish social references. Can furn- ish financial credentials to please any save most exacting." CHAPTER XXII. Mignon awakened Roberta at seven ()clock next morning. As her mis- tress's tub was filling the maid an- nounced, somewhat grimly, that some- body had turned her out at six -thirty, . hich hour Mignon regarded as un- seasonable and unreasonable. She complained that she had eaten dinner the preceding night in the seevants' dining room with persons whose gen- eral color scheme and table manners she we not accustomed. "They might, with equal justice, find the same fault with you, Mignon," Ro- berta chid her. "No more grousing. if you please. We are in the Far West where men are men and women rope steers and bust wild horses. ' What iid you have for dinner?" Mignon recited the menu. "You ate precisely the same food that I had. Did the others have it too?" "Good heavens, no, Miss Roberta! They had brown beans, baked chilli peppers, steak, black coffee and a sort of thin tough pancake." "It must be good :'ood. Don Jaime told me last night that he had practi- cally been raised on a string of chilli peppers and pictures of the saints." "I think he's wonderful," said Mig- non with finality. "And I'm sure he'd make much more money in pictures than down here on this lonely ranch." "I do not think I should like Don Jaime in pictures, Mignon." "I'd adore him. Wasn't he wonder- ful on his horse, shooting at that ugly Mr. Dingle?" (To be continued.) Women and War "What are you going to say in re- ply Mr. Lathan?" "I'm going to encourage the boy, of course." "Why do that?" "To make hint work. Glenn, if I could only have motion pictures of Don Jaime playing the bear under Roberta's window—keeping her awake with his guitar and nis sad Spa lish songs, putting an extra dash of per- fume on himself and drowning her in silly romance, I'd' die happy. Oh, the poor, unfortunate devil!" "No sense of repression, eh?" "Not a scintilla," Crooked Bill assur- ed him. "That method of courtship works fine with a Spanish girl, but to modern American girls like Roberta it's nerve-racking and effeminate. Re- member, Glenn, there is one thing Ro- berta will never forgive, and that's bad 'caste. You can't kill a girl's uncle and then expect to rush her oil her feet, even though you killed in self-defence and in so doing performed a public service. I tell you Higuenes doesn't know any better than to walk into straight lefts and rights. Ima- gine Roberta the mistress of a ranch on the Rio Grande trying to teach a eholo butler to deal the grub from the left." Evidently Glenn Hackett promptly imagined it, for he laughed briefly for the first time. "But this chap appears to be educated and, to a considerable degree, Americanized," lee warned; as an afterthought. "So was his old man. Texas has be..n under six flags and the tribe of Higuenes has fought ender r,i al•l• "Outwardly they're plain, ordinary Americans, and no Yankee can take them into camp, but inwardly, I tell you, they're still Spaniards. They prefer their beef jerked and they're strong on red chilli peppers and brown beans. Spanish is their mother ton• gue. They speak English perfectly but think in Spanish. Why, if old Mike Higuenes could have unloaded his ranch during the Spanish-Amer- ican War he'd have emigrated to Mexico. He declared that war was an outrage against civilization.'
