The last straw tor Cons'ance la Donua's lemand for the horse. Fancbo. Chapter 28 Tour Of The Ranch Constance head n vibrant neigh. She looked across the grove. Pan cho, riderless, was laughing. And coining into the stable yard was Pedro, leading Midnight. And on Midnight was the bedraggled figure of Donna; Donna, mud-caked, hair hanging in wet straggles, a pitiful figure of woe. Constance ran to her anxiously. Her little sister, thrown, while trying to deprive tier of the mount she wanted. Tenderly Constance helped Donna from Midnight. Donna didn't look at her. she was looking at Pedro; and Pedro, Constance knew from months of association, was shaking with laughter. L'Tm awfully glad you happened Jaiong just then." Donna was mur muring In dulcet tones. "Intimating it wasn't a date?" asked Pedro, with a side glance for Constance. "Next time, let me know when you want to ride and I'll find a horse that isnt a one woman mount." Constance caught one glance of her old, dear Pedro In the look he gave her, then he swung onto Midnight's saddle and rode out. And Donna turned on her. "You put him up to that. You have train ed him to throw anyone else," she thrilled. Constance looked up at the wil lows. A great cloud had rolled from her spirit. She wanted to laugh, to throw her arms wide at the sud tn fopiinrr r relief. It meant there was still a fighting chance to save everything dear to ner. "But I'm going to ride that horse," Donna went on, her voice shaking with anger. "I'll have Don break Aim for me; and when Don gets F Hiroiigli with him, he'll be broken." I MlnMntT .wishing his tail &nd mane, Pancho came across the grove to Constance, like a child confident of hRVing performed a cute trick which would be duly rewarded. "Donna," Constance faced her sister, "you said this morning that I didn't own Pancho any more than any of the rest of you. I do. I've bought and paid for him and here Is the rccept. Now keep off." Donna looked at Constance then looked at John. "Nice engage ment present," she observed, and rnn away, her boot heels tapping the patio Door. So Involved Constance dug in her sweater pocket for a lump of sugar, patted Pancho's nose and turned him over to the stableboy. then stepped in side the patio with John. "What ho needs" stated John, "Is to be turned over someone's knee and treated with sole 01 a slipper." "Whose knee and what sllppe" ' risked Constance wearily. "Mother i-on't; theres no one else but me and. after all, I'm only two years older than she ... and Don." But aire was so Involved in their (fairs. She wondered If that was wtlat Peter Taylor had meant, that ne couldn't succeed wun weight of the Cabrillos about her shoulders, and that the purchase of Pancho was the first Indication she had shown of cutting herself off from this weight and traveling on her own. She would talk to John Imme diately. She would not tell him of Tom Tha vmimri PPrirn'R dlstrUSt had left was too deep; it was a dull aching pain her nope couiu not surmount. Enough to tell John he must not count on her marry ing him at any time. But Nadlne Cabrillo was In the patio. John, Jullano, Juanlt and Dolores were called Into service They would take lunch there, and mirplw rvinttanr trrtilrl rhftnire. ( "Mother," stated Constance firm- I work here. 1 haven't time to marine clothes a dozen tlniei a day .By toe moon Bo wman If I offend you, then 111 take my meals elsewhere. Now please ex cuse me." -. She ordered a tray sent to her office, then burrowed into the re ports which had come in that morning She didn't dare get be hind. Saturday the railroad would be open; the dairy cai put into op eration, and Pedersen would return from the south with the last of the herds; great cattle cars of herds to file Into the waiting barns. By Monday the ranch would be run ning full blast. Again Constance bent her head over figures. They were hearten ing. If the new herds produced with a respective amount of milk and cream, El Cabrillo would pull through In time. Figures, she thought, were de pendable. Figures and cows and land. It was .the human element you couldn't confine in columns . . . and if you did, it seemed that they slipped into the debt side. Her work completed. Constance lighted a clgaret and tipped back In her chair. If only there were some way to buy the ranch as she had bought Pancho. She'd be willing, eager to give the Cabrillos their share of the Income . . . providing she could run the place without in terference from them. If there were only . . some way. There wasn't. She was .handicap ped. But Michael Mahoney had fought through with more handi caps than she had. "Through for the day, Conchlta?" John stood at the door. Con stance looked at him in wonder. He was in riding breeches and boots; a dull blue polo shirt in tensified the blue of his eyes. ."Through until the evening re ports," she answered "I let them go last night and that Isn't wise." "Then ...vthen you'll go riding with me? I'd like to sec the ranch," Her first '-thought was one of re lief. They ' could talk while they were riding. She could tell John what she'd been Wanting to tell him. Her next thought was one ofi consternation. John was riding again. He had come in. was standing before her desk looking down at her with an expression totally for eign to him, hesitant, appealing. Defeated and sympathetic, she nodded. She wouldn't be able to talk freely this trip John who had loved horses and ,who hadn't been near one since he'd put the death- dealing shot into the favorite which had killed his father, was about to break his vow . . for her.
