The story this far:. Virginia Antes is
atboard the Lanassa stage crossing the
qqusty plains of Arizona In the summer of
2878, bound for Santa Bonita where she
will meet her i#ance, 1'h1 Lawrence. Phil
she written to him. i�Arnfewanticaout l miles 11 that
Lannssn. the stage is held up by masked
bandits and a money boa addressed to a
man named Barron at Santa Bonita., is
seized. One of the bandits snatches a cameo
pin from Virginia's dress, causing the
letter concealed inside to fall to the
ground. The bandit leader returns it to
her. At Lnnassa she sees Lt. Jim Randall
whom she had known and had been in love
with back home in Washington. He is coldly
formal and over her protests insists that
be and his company will escort her through
the 70 miles of Apache country to Santa
Son its.
CHAPTER 1
(Continued From Last Week)
"Really, lieutenant," Virginia said
coldly. "What bearing have my
plans on your investigation? I see
no connection at all. Will you ex-
cuse me now?" She rose from her
chair.
"My apologies," he said crisply.
°'There is no connection. But I was
not being merely curious. I'm in-
terested in how you intend to travel
to Santa Bonita. It's a 70 -mile
trip through wild country. Apaches
brad been reported. It was about to
Suggest that it would be dangerous
for you to make the trip unescorted.
tMy detail is starting south in an
hour, You may accompany-"
"It would inconvenience you, lieu-
tenant," Virginia said coldly. "I
wouldn't think of causing you any
annoyance."
He regarded her soberly for a
tatiuute, then his smile' came again
and was faintly amused. He said
terlsply: "My detail will' be waiting
the edge of town. Tell your
giver to be there in an hour."
He bowed stiffly, his eyes still
,upon her. "Au revoir-Miss Ames."
He turned and walked from the
hotel,
!n her room again, her luggage
ready, Virginia was angry. Of all
e men in Arizona, it had to be
An Randall who met her. The
man at whom, three years ago, she
had thrown herself, to whom she
had offered her heart. The one man
who could laugh at her.
Then she thought of Phil Law-
rence and softened. Her thoughts
leaped 70 miles across wild country
to him and she grew gradually un-
easy. More than merely uneasy.
She became afraid.
There was Phil's strange, startling
letter. She took it from her hand-
bag and read it once more. It was
as mysterious and as frightening as
it had been on every other reading.
It was dated April 13th, 1878 -
six weeks before.
The face side of the single page
was the proper sort of affectionate
letter from fiance to beloved. But
it ended abruptly in the middle of a
sentence.
What was written on the reverse
side was what had brought Vir-
ginia across the country to the Ter-
ritory -and was what filled :ler
with fear.
It was merely one sentence:
"Corrie to nie, I beg you. For
God's s::le don't fail me!"

CHAPTER II
Those few written lines lived with
Virginia. They rang like a tocsin
of alarm in her consciousness. Their
meaning was obscure. Either Phil
Lawrence merely needed to see her
out of lonliness - or he was in
trouble, in danger, and could not
face it alone.
Whatever the motive behind the
strange message, she was coaling to
him. Nothing, not even her father's
displeasure nor the necessity of
travelling in Jin. Randall's company
would stop her. She was deter-
mined on that.
It was two hours after the lieu --
tenant's visit that she final -5r per-
mitted O'Grady to carry her lug-
gage from the hotel. And then very
slowly followed to the street.
She stepped from the hotel lobby,
crossed the porch and was descend-
ing the steps when she saw the dark,
well-dressed man who had smiled
and bowed to her that morning
from the street.
He halted before her on the steps
and removed his hat. He seemed
little over 30, but his temples were
lightly frosted with gray. He was
quite what she had judged hiini to
be: a gentleman, handsome, soft-
spoken. we'a-inannerefi.
,,
"Miss Aires?" he said. "1 under-
stand you are going to Santa Bon-
ita. My name is Stephen Barron.
My home is in Santa Bonita-"
His voice broke as he saw Vir-
ginia look beyond him. He slowly
turned to follow her glance. Vir-
ginia had been distracted by Jim
Randall. He was swinging from
the saddle of his horse, his face
angry. He strode toward her in a
determined way that delighted her.
She had annoyed him, as she ,had
intended.
He carne onto the steps so that he
faced them both. His face was not
only angry but threatening.
"Has this roan annoyed you, Miss
Ames?" he demanded.
'Virginia showed her surprise.
"No .. Not at all."
"I saw him accost you."
Color burned in her cheeks.
'Thank you for reminding ane of the
proprieties, Lt. Randall," she said
coldly. "It was I who was at fault.
I should not have permitted him to
stop roe. Do you mind permitting
inc to go to my carriage?"
Jim Randall stepped back, but the
other man held up hie hand,
He's Studying to Be a Romeo--Blueboy, a parakeet with a
150 -word vocabulary, gets a taste of apple from his mistress and
trainer, Mrs. Morley D. Jacob. She thinks Blueboy, who likes
to show off even in his sleep, is well enough prepared to learn a
love poem next. Not only does he speak full sentences, but he
lets loose low wolf whistles.
"Dear Anne Hirst:
My husband and I have gone
through some awfully hard times,
but now I am really at my wits'
end. We have been married 26
years. He is 44, and I am a little
younger. We have four married
children, and a litle boy four years
old.
"My husband gives me money to
pay the bills. But there has to
be more in life
than that! He.

times, and he
wants 'Yoe to go

him, I could,
but I wouldn't
take my boy
with Me; I have
too - much self
iespect. Also, I'm not well, after
four operations.
"I am a good wife. I keep my
husband's clothes clean, and the
house too, and have hie , steals
ready. I don't inind histett't:ing a.
few beers, but I think it's time to
have something ahead. He keeps
at me to save, but what's the use?
He has to have his good tines.
Had No Fun
"I never had ranch enjoyment
in life. I've been too tied down
with the children. I've not had time
to make many friends, either.
"What can I do to make niy
husband understand better?

"My apologies, Miss Acnes. We
were not properly introduced I ad-
mit.,"
"You were slow in realizing that,
Barron," Jim Randall snapped.
Stephen Barron was a man of
vast self-control; an ease lay over
hits that was marvelous. He had
been • insulted, but he showed no
anger beyond a faint narrowing of
his dark eyes.
"I don't like your insinuations,
Itantlail," he said. 'Tou make it ap-
pcar that my motives-"
