He had been in the south west a couple of mouths without see ing any woman except of low degree and proportionately homely, when he met Inez. She was rigged out in Mex kan style, with a lot of gay colors and gold lace. Iler eyes were very black and her lashes long. Iler complexion was olive und her cheeks red. The meeting occurred when the two were riding over the plains. Inez rode astride; her long black hair bung, a cable, under a m an’s sombrero. “Good morning, señorita,’’ said Bob. "Good morning, señor,” was the re ply. “Where are you goiug, señorita?” “Home. I have been out’looking for some stray sheep. Have you uny to bacco, señor?” Bob produced tobacco. Inez produced cigarette paper and rolled a cigar ttc on the Hat topped pommel of her sad dle. "May I see you to your home?” asked Bob. “You may, señor.” That was the beginning of It. The next stop was Bob and Inez sitting on a log on the bank of a stream. Bob took her hand in his. He failed to no tice that it was short and thick and the skin was rough. He failed also to notice that the cable at her back was composed of very coarse hairs. There was nothing soft or silky about it. But ting one arm around her waist, he PROFESSIONAL CARDS kissed her.

When a man is passiug from one w’o- man to another the surest way to snap their relations is for her to show jealousy. Inez did not improve m at ters. Bob gradually dropped her. Naturally he sought the Chambers, who were of his own class, and for the same reason he was welcomed by them. Of course Inez was not Ignor ant of this. One day when Bob was out looking after his sheep he saw Clara riding alone. He was about to Join her when he saw Inez riding in the oppo s'd? direction from Clara. The two girls met, and Bob saw that something was being said between them. Then Inez pointed with her finger. Clara had evidently asked the way some where. “Heavens!” exclaimed Bob in an agonized tone, and, digging bis spurs into liis horse’s flanks, he shot off to ward Clara. She was going directly toward a quicksand. She was nearly two miles from Bob and a quarter of a mile from the quicksand. Bob was goiug like the wind, but before he could reach her her horse began to flounder. By the time he reached the margin of hard ground the animal was half immersed.
