CHAPTER XIII.
fi;�aGi?• TH�RUE ON THE SANE.
Long before the first faint.hint
dawn had tinged the sky, the Rancho
Buena Vieth was awake. Mercede
was ashen, First her brother and then
her father had ridden away and ha
failed to return.
Unable to stand inaction any longer
she left the house and walked as fa
as the emelt-bottom where her father
had crossed, listening for any sound
that might announce his return.
When Mariano returned with only
Henaro, Mercedes' face fell. She had
not known that her father had sent
the other men to the railroad with
sheep. But she lost no time in de-
spatching the vaquero for Kent. Old
Mariano was put to service; she sent
him to Ugarde's place, because it was
nearest.
"Don't conte back until you find
them," she ordered, "At daylight I
will go myself to the Bull's Head."
Loping along in the still uncertain
Iight, Mercedes' mind centred on the
Bull's Head and what she would find
there, Ackli:ls shadow darkened all
her thoughts. But even so she be-
came aware of the insistence of the
coyotes' barking.
Mercedes sent her horse into a gal-
lop, When she Sopped a shallow
arroyo her heart stopped beating as
she caught sight of her father's pow-
erful bay standing riderless, his head
lowered and sweeping from side to
side.
Ringed about hina, red tongues slid-
ing out over their wet fangs, crouched
the coyote pack. Mercedes emptied her
gun at them; they slunk away.
She walked her pinto to where the
other horse stood swaying. And then
—there at his feet, she saw the hud-
dled body of her father.
Mercedes got to her knees and felt
her father's cold hand. She promised
herself she would be brave; that bre
would not give way. Then with siee.-
ening Lcart she saw the terrible:
wound. Tenderly her hands u,resseu

sides, ane! My Man raced to where
Mercedes stood. The grim figure on
the ground, the overwrought girl, and
the empty -saddled bay told their awn
story. The message he brought her
would have to wait new.
He got down beside Jose anti ex
amined the torn chest.
"A long-range gun and 'a high -
'power bullet did this," he told her.
After he got to Inc feet he seanned
the ragged rim -rocks' 'nervously; and
sought for an excuse to get the girl
away. "You'd better ride to the ha-
raenda and get n rig; that is, if you
think you're wile to make it"
"'If you will wart, I'll go at once,"
Mercedes answered.
Impulsively she .placed 'her hand on

of Hurriedly Blaze turned Jose's face
clownward and pulled the old man's
e coat over the lead. Quickly thea he
tole oil his own shirt and vest, and
drneed them over a dcac' sage -brush,
d On top of it he pla.ed his hat. The
result was aicrtele Seate-crow. Leap -
leg into his saddle, ile galloped off
r before the feathet'cd.sravar,gers simnel
return to discover his deception.
When he gained the rim -rocks,
Blaze crawled on hands and knees to
their edge. For twenty yards, he
studied the decayed' rock. He came
to a at spot, three yards square. Fine
sand- filled the pockets in the decom-
posed granite.• In one of them there
was the unmistakable imprint of a
boot -mark. Blaze threw himself down
beside it and stretched his length as
he imagined the assassin had done.
The distance from toe -nark to elbow
was a good five inches longer than
the impressions his own body made.
Without disturbing the sand, Blaze
searched far other signs that might
tell him something. In a hollow, about
where the waist of the assailant
should have come, he discovered the
die -clear stamp of a Navajo luck-
charm. The outlines were clear and
distinct.
Kildare's brow wrinkled as he star-
ed at the cryptic Indian letters. The
\e-
ervil insistvniv elerec its' (laming eyes

' It le not caaough that they kill my
father; Senor tickihi must send you
here to spy-aud pretend to help me."
"Don't convict' me without giving
me a chance to defend.nys{lf," I il-
dar'e pleaded. "I am a Double A. man;
but I didn't come here to spy. You
don't know what . you've said, Spy?
I'd,sure take that word front no man!
Why do 'you say Aeklin killed your
father?"
"Who else so reach wanted him out
of the way? Ile had no 'enemies,
.Acklin!" It was an unholy word as
she uttered it: "Anel his greed; they
were all my• father feared,".
"Even so," 'Blaze countered, ,"it's
not a cow -man's eeay to shoot in the
back or from alienist!. I was going
to the hacienda when I stet you,"' '
There was :frank disbelief in the
girl's eyes. Blaze knew there was no-
thing to do now but to tell' her the
truth.
"We had some shooting at the fence
last night. Esteban—"
"Esteban? Is he killed, too?"
"No, he's just wounded. The Big
Boss snit lee down to get you, That's
the business that brought me here. We
took the boy in as soon as we found
him. He'll be all right in a week or
s0."
"The Double A covers itself with
the blood of my people," she cried.
CHAPTER XV.
THE ACCUSATION.:
Kent was waiting for them at the
Rancho, Jose's'death affected Tusear-
ora visibly. He tried his best to 'con-
sole Mercedes,
When they had finished their sad
task, the two men went outside;
Mercedes joined there, ready for the
ride to the Bull's Head, A stoical calm-
ness rested upon her, leaving her a
beautiful, madonna -like creature.
Tuscarora rode with them for a
male before he turned for town. He
had offered to see the undertaker and
priest and do those other errands
which death stakes necessary.
When they' rode into the yard at
the Bull's Head, Acklin met them, He
dismissed Kildare with a eurt nod hut
turned a covetous, ingratiating smile
on Mercedes. The whiteness of her
face and her tired eyes were not lost
on Acklin.
Mercedes followed the big ranchman
along the perch to where two' riders
sat opposite, the entrance to the stair-
way. As they drew near they heard
a voice raised in song; a wild, rollick-
ing, not overly proper bunk -house
song. Blaze and Chet had evidently
been taking it in.
Acklin stopped in the doorway, im-
peding Mercedes' entrance. "Tell him -
to stop that noise," he demanded of
Chet. -
"Hey! ' Ladies present, Melody!"
Chet called. "Cut the song."
tiMelody stuck his flaming head ever
the banister above them, and called:
"'S'all right? Just made his bed."
The meeting between the wounded
boy anti his ester was more than the
sensitive sieve; could stand. Not
knowing 'ALA, lay beck of the girl's
reticence when she failed to answer
why their father had not come with
her, he turned and went downstairs.

"Looks as if a watch -charm made

Littie Basilio sat beside Mercedes
as she drew up her team.
Dry-eyed, Mercedes watched as
Blaze held the little fellow on his
knee and petted him. Basilio had been
friendly with My Man once before, so
Kildare put him on the horse's back
now. My Man arched his neck and
whinnied as he regarded the boy. The
child was reassured immediately.
Then, with Mercedes' help, all that
was left of Old Ironsides was placed
in the wagon While they had been
busy at their task, Basilio had con-
tinued his friendship with the horse.
They were ready to go now, and both
Mercedes and Blaze turned inquiring
eyes at the boy. He was busily play-

The Future of
The Indian Princes.
Lord Oliver, one of the represents. -

Lords, has been asking in ,that Arse'
sembly what is to become of the semi-
independent princes who'now rule
autocratically 70,000,000 of the people.

remaining 260,000,000 tor be given

is that their powers ought to be re-
stricted so as gradually to' fit them.
into the scheme now under discussion
for malting British India selt-govern
ing
In answering Lord Oliver the Mare
guess of Reading holds,that constitu-
tional reform should be a gradual de-
velopment from within, not an 1m•
position from without. The princes
themselves naturally object in :the.
strongest possible way to. any inter-
ference with their powers. For the
same reason they are apprehensive
that the somewhat shadowy super-
vision hitherto exercised over' themt
by the Government of India may get.
to be intolerable if that body becomes;
truly elective. The solution they have.
been urging before a committee 'of in-
vestigation which has been -sitting in.
England under that able Anglo-Indian;
administrator, Sir Harcourt Butler, is:
tbat they should be taken out of the,
urisdiction of Delbi and transferred
