CHAPTER VIII.
He met her eyes now, "Virginia,
I'm not the man you loved."
"You will be again."
"You must go home." His voice
eame from far off. "Give me six
months. I need that much time.
I'll come to you, then."
She searched the stern cast of his
face for something she remembered,
but he was wholly changed. He had
lengthened the two years difference
in their ages, and he returned her
scrutiny with old -young eyes like
those of Jim Randall.
"I could stay here those six
months," she said, "There's no rea-
son why I couldn't," She paused.
"Yes, I'll stay. I'll be here where
you need ale."
"I'll be off in the hills," he re-
p plied stonily. "Or at my ranch, I
wouldn't see you often."
His ranch! She ignored his argu-
ment. "Phil, you left your house
suddenly. We -Jim Randall and I
.--found it deserted, your uneaten
meal as you left it. What did it
mean?"
"Nothing," he said definitely.
She showed her despair. "And
your letter begging me to come?"
He shook his head wearily. "I
don't know. , , ." Then: "Don't let
things worry you, Virginia. I'll be
fIl right." He reached out and Iay
is hands on her shoulders, "It
was grand of you to come. Thanks."
He turned and stepped down from
tie veranda and strode away. into
the night.
The next morning he rode up to
Vhe house, but did not dismount.
irginia went to him and found
slim unchanged.
"I'm riding out to my ranch -
house," he told her.
"But you'll be back?"
"In a day or two," he replied, his
ayes drifting away.

"Phil, you're afraid of something,"
Virginia said, And when he did not
answer: "Is it -Steve Barron?"
His face hardened. "Not any
longer," he said, "He's ruined me.
There's little more he can do,"
"I don't understand, Phil," Vir-
ginia said,
"Barron refused to water my dy-
ing stock during the drought, when
he had plenty of water on his range.
I have reason to believe my cattle
were rustled by his riders."
"You are sure?"
He nodded jerkily. "He dream
of owning this country. He's
squeezing out the little ranchers.
He drives out nesters. His word is
.law, enforced by men with guns.
There are other things, too -which
no one would believe--"
Virginia grasped his hand. "Phil.
let's both go home!"
"No. Not yet," he said grimly,
"I have something to lick out here.
I want the time to do it."
He swung his horse about and
rode away along the dusty street.
Four days passed and she did not
see him. But shortly after nightfall
on the last day a cavalry troop ar-
rived and made camp outside of
Santa Bonita. It was'Jim Randall's
command, and shortly he came to
Virginia. They walked together out
into the moonlit desert night.
"You've seen Phil Lawrence?"
he asked.
"Yes. Steve Barron found him."
"Barron did, eh?" He regarded
her questioningly. "Is the trouble
between then ended?"
"I don't know," Virginia replied.
"1-I no longer understand Phil.
He's changed, Something has hap-
pened to him. He's withdrawn into
himself. He -he excludes even
me."
Jim lighted a cigarette. In the
glow of the match, his face was
stern and his eyes full of a great
loneliness.
"You still love him, don't you
Virginia?"
She nodded, "Yes, I love him."
"Then you must take him away
from Santa Bonita," he said.
She made a helpless gesture, "I
tried and failed, Something I don't
understand holds him here."
They walked slowly on, and the
Lights of the town lay a half mile
behind them, Jim began to talk,
low -voiced, of the four-day scout
from which he had just returned,
bitter that Natchi's marauding band
had eluded him. They stopped fin-
ally and Virginia was suddenly
aware that he Looked tired, The
loneliness in his eyes was deep and
ream.
•There was no hatred remaining
in her; she forgot that once he had
deeply hurt her. She said sudden-
ly, "Jinn, haven't you ever loved a
woman?"
He drew on his cigarette. He
looked away • from her. "Yes --
once," he said. "l3ut uselessly." .
"You think of it at times, don't
you?"
