OSA A tfall.DtPri . ATM A WM 4,44A.S.1144, • • BY, PETER. B. KYNE (gentinued from last week) 'About thee miles out of Arguello, Lee ran his car dkown on a Sandy bar of the Rio •Honde and etopped. • 'Here is there we eat," he-i:xplained, and in a feryth minutes he had a campfire crackling between tee° flat rocks. He used another rock for a kitchen table and cut two large steaks frosni a sir- loin roast purloined 'them Joaquin Jose Ramon's grub box. From a esteems he poured water for coffee and set his coffee-pot on the coals. Next he set but two tin cups, a salt• and -pepper Shaker, a loaf of bread and a paper bag containing brown sugar. "You might slice the bread while I barbecue these steaks," he suggested, and while the girlobeYed • he cut and stripped of its bark a green willow fork. He sharpened the ends of the fork and hardened) and dried them for a few minute's over the fire, after which he hung the steaks 'between them, dusted: them liberally with salt and pepper and held them over a bed of !glowing Coals. By the time the steaks had lbeers barbecued the ebffee was at the boil; "and with a ' huge beefsteak eery:belch in one hand; and a tin cup of excellent coffee M the other the pair sat on the running - board •of Lee Purdy's car and supped. '."Did the ravens furnish Elijah with paper napldne?" she ventured to enquire demurely as the last of the meal disappeared 'between her gray-sitaihed lips. "No, indeed. Elijah was a practi- cal prophet and licked his Chops and fingers. IHowever, I think we may avoid that." He handed her a roll of clean white waste, le. supply of which he kept in one of the seat poc- kets for wiping his .hands after work- ing on the motor. • The girl sighed with ccmiteritment and pleasure, and in the glow of the headlights he warmed to the bright and friendly face she raised to him. "I de So enjoy picnics," she declared, "and this one was thoroughly en- jeyable." They proceeded en their journey. About ten o'clock the car climbed a long grade and came to a halt under a porte-cochere before a low white adobe house that gleamed in the starlight. A noisy pack of fox- hounds and field dogs, with a few Airedale terriers and two comical little Scotties, leaped up on the run- ning board to welcome their master to the seat sof the Purdy family; a beamis;h Mexican woman opened the door and stood there, silhouetted in the light that streamed from) within. Purdy flung her a quick, anxious query in Spanish and received one brief and casual in reply. He nodded with satisfaction and turned to assist Gail: "We'll leave your trunk right here in tithe car for to -night," he explained. "Conchita will bring your hand -bag to your room." He bowed to her. "You are wel- come to La Cuesta Encantatia, Miss Ormsby. As my Gaelic Hieland an- cestors 'would have it, Cal.& mile faltah'a-ten thousand welcomes.." "I think • you're quite the nicest desperado I have ever met." The girl beamed upon him with frank, ingenious approval. "My lot has now fallen in a very pleasant place indeed." .From the veranda she stepped into a large Diving robin. The adobe walls had been plastered and calcimined. then painted in old ivory. The fur- niture was old Spanish and large bright Navajo rugs covered the floor, with a tremendous thrown Kodiak bearekin rug in front of an open fireplace large enough to roast a yearling calf: A log fire crackled and threw shadows intothe subdued ight east iv a reading lamp; on the mantel were numerous pieces • of Pueblo Indian pottery; half a dozen well done landscapes challenged the barenees of the ;walls and in one cor- ner Gail Ormsby observed a belly grand piano. "Yeti might be chilled after that long night ride," Purdy suggested. am." He took possession of her coat and hat and laid them on a chair. "Now while you're enjoying that fire I'll go 'get Hallie." hNot necessary, Lee. Here I am," a languid' voice spoke from the dtor- way. "I was just about lie retire when I heard you qme in." ;Gail Ormsby turns to face a frail girl whose white face est gleam- ed in the dim light. She at Gail, surprised, with a welcome and a query combined in the glance. Purdy stepped to her wide, placed his arta around her waist and half drew her, half led her to Gail. "This is my little sister, Miss Hallie Pur- dy," he said. "Hallie, this Ls Miss Gail Ormsby, of Los Angeles." Hallie offered a thin little hand and a glad smile. "I found Miss Ormsby et San Onofre," her brother explained. "She got off the over- land there, en route' to the Box K Ranch. For some reason nobody met her there, eo I brought her home with me." "And you did exactly right - as usual," said Hallie,, and .preeented her cheek as her brother stooped to, kiss st. Her large dark eyes, very bright, beamed upon .him a' profound affec- tion. "I've been very, very well since you left, darling," she replied to an anspoken'query, "Please sit on the .dtivetry before the fire, Miss Ormsby. Lee, what has happened to you?. There is blood , on your shoulder and a hole in -your coat." "Got pecked by a cow," he fibbed readily. "Reached for me over the edge Of the loading chute and serap- ed me a trifle. Any news?" "None, except over the radio, dear. Did y'ou call for the mail at Argu- ello?' Her brother slapped his thigh in huge disgust. "Forgrot al about it, se, sehheehl"seesessieshiaih Heine. Don't know what's the mat- ter with me lately. I think I have all 'Edam cheese far a head." Halide patted his hand forgivingly and turned to their ,guest. "We would be quite lonely here were it not lfor the radio," she explained. "People wh'o dwell in cities regard the radio as a pleasing•fact, but when pare's closest neighbor is twenty miles &bent the radio is a blessing. Be- fore we got the radio we had to de- pend entirely upon wireless. Lee be- came an expert operator during the war, eo he installed a receiving set here, arra after dinner he used to listen in. Sometimes we caught in- teresting world news." "You appear to have exercised con- .siderable discrimination in your se- lection of a brother," said Gail. "Most people ' .appreciate Lee. Don't they, darling?" "Don't snake xne blesth, Hallie." Gail sat between them on the divan while she and Purdy basked grate- fully in the glow of the burning legs. The donversattlion turned to a ditscusg niton .af the country, 'the life of the Purdlys, cattle eanditions. Purdy re- alized, however„ that his guest was very weary, so in about ten minutes he glanced at his watch saying, "Hal- lie, I think we might show Miss Ormsby to her room and then go to bed ourselves. You're up extraord- inarily late, and y'ou know that's against orders." He Picked 'Halide up in his arms andharriett her out of the room, down a hall and out to a . rear veranda, which opened en a patio enclosed on two hides by an angle formed by two wings of the house and on the other two sides by an adobe wall. The still night was heavy with the frag- rance of flewers, and Gail could hear a fountain splashing softly out in the midst of that fragrance. Along the eeranda they proceeded; at the. door of a guest chamber Purdy set his sister on her feet and turned to Gail Ormsby, who followed. "Here's your room, Miss Ormsby. Hallie's nurse lives on your right and Hallie lives on your left, while I hole up across the patio. Good night. Halite, after you've said good night to Miss •Ormsby see that you go straight to bed." :He kissed her and disapp.earect down the shadow of the veranda. CHAPTER IV The first shafts of dew-. light, es- caping over ;the, mountains to the east, descended into Lee Purdy's patio and thence into Gail Ormsby's room, awakening her. .For several minutes she lay in that ,pleasant state of mental and physical detachment which succeeds a night of perfect rest and precedes the .direful neces- sity of arising to face another day of existence. Presently she was aware of steal- thy footsteps ,passing along the ver- anda; then she heard a soft rap, three times repeated, on a door, and a voice said guardedly: "Senor!" Purdy's voice answered sharply in Spanish: "Quien es?" "Ramon, senor." "Entre, Ramon." A silence, save for the closing of a door. Then: "Hello, Chan, you crazy Chinaman - I've been expecting you two. I found your place in Arguello looking like a mad elephant had been through it. And I found the chuck wagon intact, Ramon. Jesus Ortega is driving it hack oVo the ranch. Sit down, Chan., and tell me all about. it. Speak soft- ly," he added, lowering his own voice. , Thereafter for a few minutes Gail could barely hear the subdued mur- mur of their talk then Lee Purdy's voice rose clear and commanding: "They will, will they,? Like hell, they will! Ramon, tell T,ominy Scaife to come here immediately. Then you and Chan arm yourselves. Don't worry, Chan. There's only cnie man on La Cuesta Encantada who owns the lynching concession, and that's Lee Purdy. They've treed the wrong varmint." There was a harsh note of anger, of impatience in his tones, but he conquered his displeasure and a- gain his voice died away to an indi- tinguishable murmur, follfrwed hy fo'otstteps that paddled swiftly along the veranda and; apparently out through a gate in the rear wall. Gail Ormsby dressed hurriedly ; then elle too crept quietly along the veranda, 'through the hall and out on- to • the rpoorteecochere. Lee Purdy's automobile, with her trunk in the onneau, still s'to'od there, and on the f nt veranda her host stood with a ip rr of field -glasses to his eyes, gaz- ing down into a world that seemed to swim far below them in an ame- thyst haze. And new the girl realized why the Purdys had named their home La Ou.esta Encantada. It was perched on the crest of a hill perhaps two thousand feet above the surrounding country. To the southeast and sweep- ing in a vast arc to the northwest lay a vast plain, a semi -desert, in which the night shadows still lingered; from this rapidly lifting shadow a white streak that was the road to Arguello came out of the foreground, while far across the plain the dawn light was painting with crimson and gold the crests of the mountains that hemmed in El Valle de los Ojos Ne- gros and were first to receive the caress of the new day. Gail Ormsby had seen El Valle de llos• Ojos Negros in •mid-arfterneon and knew it for a harsh, unlovely and lonely land, but new it had been touched by a ma- gical beauty. The lingering night shadows and the dawn mist merci- fully hid the crass reality of it; it seemed unreal, phantasmagoric, beau- tiful with a frail and gossamer beau- ty. To the north and northeast the hints were blurred with timber, hack (of which rose three jagged peaks, I snow-covered, crimson as blood with the npflung rays of a sun that was not yet in eight. Uip from the low- lands, that magnificent empire, came the -aroma of dawn, the incense re- leased when dewdrops, disappear in . vapor' and flowers and scented shrubs awaken and inhale.the light of life. From afar on the Enchanted Hill cock quails called their ianidlies forth to Alieir faring; a shyote ealuted the sun with a •final shrill cheer, and a Shame Indian thrush, the Caruso of birds, stirred inohis cage under the porte- cochere and burbled and trilled his joyous mating. •Seemingly he too re- alized with Gail Orineby, that here indeed was the Enchanted Hill. Lee Purdy lowered his glasses and for the first time Obeeeved his guest. "GOA Morning,. Miss ;Ormsby," he saluted her. "I'm glad you are up in time to catch the motif that in- spired Halle 'to call aur home La Cu.esta Encantada." He swept his arm in a wide circle. "You'll travel far before yiaur ''heart will thrill a- gain to beauty such as that. And I own it! I own everything to the tops of these mountains yonder and up to the treicest reserve. „I'm lantl-ipoor and financially herasseci, but - 1 own that, and I love it and -.Pm hap- py. Let others thumb their greasy ledgers end clip their coupons, and in- hale the fumes of gasoline in cramp- ed towns, but I will none of it. I like fresh air and to rise in the morning and leek at my empire." "I understand, Mr. Purdy. But do you usually look at it through field - glasses? I find my Poor eyes quite suifficient for the assimilation of this beauty." He glanced at her suspiciously. "Your conference with Ramon and the Chinaman awakened me," she ex- plained. "Is a mob from Arguello coming to lynch Chla.n?" He nodded. "They're down in the valley noee-eix automhbiles loaded with Some human beings who think they're men. But they're not going to lynch- Chan." "How db you know they are not?" she 'demanded. The little whimsical 'smile she had observed the day before and liked so much went questing over his face. "This is my castle and I'm King of it," he replied. "And I know how to be KinOf g a castle." Lee Purdy thoughtfully replaced his field -glasses in their leather case; with the buckling down of the lid OM would' have thought that the drama that impended was already a closed iocident. With an encompass- ing wave of' his hand toward the hor- iton, he said, "Well, that is New Mexico." "One should never weary of that view, Mr. Purdy." "I knew one who does. not. That scene below always soothes me when I am not particularly happy." "You are not of the southwest," Gail challenged suddenly. "No, I am not." A silence. Wihy did he not tell her the name of the land he had been reared in? "Your choice of words ansi the mariner of their pronuncia- tion are slightly foreign "I am not an English remittance man," he interrupted. "I didn't say you were." ' "You thought it, which is quite as uncomplimentary. I came out here to please myself, not my family, and I pay as I go --with my' own money. I'm a Yankee." "Oh! 'Boston!" • ."Yes-.complitcated with Worches- ter, Massachusetts, and the inherited linguistic and literary traditions of the Purdy tribe -Longfellow, Emer- son, William Dean Howells and' the Boston Transcript." Her silvery laugh tinkled pleas- antly upon his earsonce more. "And with six automobiles ,approaehing, loaded with men intent upon lynch- ing a Chinaman who is at once a friend and a guest of yours, you havien't found suifficient provocation to swear! Aren't you going to bake some measures to make good on your statement of a few moments ago that there isn't going to be any lynching?" "I'm not worried about those boys, Miss Ormsby. I wouldn't spoil this frolic for anything. I'm going to en- joy it." "But a mob is a very dangerous thing, Mr. Purde." "Only for people who persist in be- lieving that myth, Miss, Ormsby. A mob without capable leadership is like an army that attacks without a purposeful plan. Let us not disturb ourselves over the gentlemen from A rgu el to. Wizen they arrive they will be taken care of nicely. Mean- while we're up unusually early and it will be an hour 'before •breakfast is ready in. the house, although the ranch cook will be serving few hands in about ten minutes. Would you care to walk up to the mess hall and have a cup of coffee now?" "Thanks, no. I'm much too nerv- ous bo think of drinking coffee now." "I'm not." . "Where is your Chinese friend?" "In his natural element -the ranch kitchen -chattering pleasantly with Joaquin, my cook. I suggest that the best place to see this show is the place where the principal performer is to he found, We have nothing but scenery here." "Very well, I'll go," the girl an- swered tremulously. "Do you think there'll be any bloodshed?" "I don't ktiOw. I hope not. If there..should be, it will not be any of ours.

GILLETT'S LYE Efill blood with the same horror that you would view the shedding of your hair," They walked around the house and along a path lined with ragged rob- ins, winding through a grove of scat- tered oaks. Under one of these a- bout two hundred yards from the ranch -house ;stood a low frame build ing-a combination kitchen and mess hall. At a little distance was the bunk -house. A small Chinaman a- bout thirty years of age stood at the sereen door and held it open to admit Purdy and the girl.' His slant eyes were solemn and anxious, but he said nothing. Gail glanced down the long table and saw ,places set for twenty- five. "I had no idea you employed so many men, 'Mr. Purdy." "I do not. Ten men is. -my limit, even in the busy season. Those places are set for our guests who are so shbrtly to arrive." Gail Ormsby stared at her host, amazed. "Do you mean to tell me you are going to give tho;se beasts breakfast?" "Certainly. It's the custom in this country. One feeds everybody arriv- ing at meal -time, and without ques- tioning his age„ color, creed or pre- vious condition of servitude. Are you quite sure you'll not have a cup of coffee?" She shook her head, so Purdy ac- cepted a cup of coffee which Cohan brought at his request: He sipped it with evident enjoyment and was a- bout to order another when Joaquin called from the kitchen that the guests had arrived. Instantly Purdy rose and opened a door Which led in- to another room at the side of the hall. "This is the commissary," he ex- plained. "You' can hear every word spoken in the mess hall and if your curiosity gets the better of you, het -e is a small knothole in the door. It affords an unobstructed view of our euests."

By the way, what are you. gtoing to do with him, Jake?" "We're going to hang him to a convenient tree," Jake replied ferob- "Well, there are a dozen trees ex- tremely convenient. Will you boys have breakfast before or after the in- teresting event?" Ensued a brief silence and a mur- mur of Winces. The situation was being carivaseed. Lee Purdy's cheer- ful voice interrupted'. "There are two excellent arguments, for and against breakfasting 'before and after, Jake. Those who breakfast before may loe.e their breakfast after. It is no un- usual thing for strong men to become ill at a hanging. On the other hand, those who elect to 'breakfast after may discover they have lost their ap- petite for breakfast My principal argument in favor of immediate ac- ceptance, phis the superior service. The man you plan to hang after breakfast will wait on you during breakfast. How's that for an orig.. deal idea, Jake?"

Good Time to Raise a Foal According to the Dominion Animal Husbandman there is at present a definite scarcity of good, fresh, young horses for farm and city worleand an increasing demand for them at fairly remunerative and generally in- creasing prices. Since it takes four or five years to breed, raise and de- ovelop a horse to anarketable age, it will be some time .before the demand can be satisfied, therefore present prices may !be enveeted to.hold or ev- en improve for a number of years. It would seem, therefore; that it would be a profitable venture for any far- mer who has a reasonably good draft brood mare, that he can spare from heavy work, to breed her and raise a foal.
