“ I have heard Culver speak of him,

and Mr. Speed settled things between
you, Helen? I mean, has he— said any
thing?"
Miss Blake flushed.
"Not exactly.”
She adjusted a
cushion to cover her confusion, then
leaned back complacently. “ But he
has stuttered dangerously several
times.”
A musical tinkle of silver spurs
sounded In the distance, and around
the corner of the cook-house opposite
came Carara, the Mexican, his wide,
spangled sombrero tipped rakishly
over one ear, a corn-husk cigarette
drooping from his lips.
“ It’s that romantic Spaniard!” whis
pered Helen. "What does he want?"
" It ’s his afternoon call on Marle-
detta, the maid,” said Jean. "They
meet there twice a day, morning and
afternoon.”
"A lovers’ tryst!” breathed Miss
Blake, eagerly. "Isn’t he graceful and
picturesque! Can we watch them?”
“ ’Sh-h! There she comes!”
From the opposite direction ap
peared a slim, swarthy Mexican girl,
an Indian water-jug balanced upon her
shoulders.
She was clad In the
straight-hanging native garment, belt
ed in with a sash; her feet were ’ In
sandals, and she moved as silently as
a shadow.
During the four days since Miss
Blake’s arrival at the Flying Heart
Ranch she had seen Marledetta flit
ting noiselessly here and there, but
had never heard her speak. The pret
ty, expressionless face beneath the
straight black hair had ever retained
Its wooden stolidity, the velvety eyes
had not laughed nor frowned nor
sparkled. She seemed to be merely
a part of this far southwestern pic
ture; a bit of Inanimate yet breath
ing local color. Now, however, the
girl dropped her jug, and with a low
cry glided to her lover, who tossed
aside his cigarette and took her In his
arms. From this distance their words
were Indistinguishable.
“ How perfectly romantic,” said the
Eastern girl, breathlessly. "I had no
idea Marledetta could love anybody.”
“ She is a volcano,” Jean answered.
“ Why, It’s like a play!”
"And It goes on all the time.”
"How gentle and sweet he is! 1
think he Is charming. He Is not at all
like the other cowboys, Is he?”
While the two witnesses of the
scene were eagerly discussing It, Joy,
the Chinese cook, emerged from the
kitchen bearing a bucket of water, his
presence hidden from the lovers by
the corner of the building. Carara
languidly released his Inamorata from
his embrace and lounged out of sight
around the building, pausing at the
farther corner to waft a graceful kiss
from the ends of his fingers, as with
a farewell flash of his white teeth he
disappeared.
Marledetta recovered
her water-jug and glided onward into
the court in front of the cook-house,
her face masklike, her movements de
liberate as usual.
Joy, spying the girl, grinned at her.
She tossed her head coquettlshly and
her step slackened, whereupon the
cook, with a sly glance around, tapped
her gently on the arm, and said:
"Nice li’l gaily.”
“ The idea!” indignantly exclaimed
Miss Blake from her hammock.
But Marledetta was not offended.
Instead she smiled over her shoulder

followed at bis heels.
“ It serves him right!” cried Mias
Blake, rising. “ I hope Mr. Carara— ”
A din of falling pots and pans Is-
■ued from the cook-house, mingled
with shrill cries and soft Spanish Im
precations; then, with one long-drawn
wall, the pandemonium ceased as sud
denly as It had commenced, and Ca-
rara issued forth, black with anger.
"H a !” said he, scowling at Mario-
detta, who had retreated, her hand
upon her bosom. He exhaled a lung
ful of cigarette smoke through his
nostrils fiercely. "You play wit’ me,
eh?"
“ No, n o!” Mariedetta ran to him,
and, seizing his arm, cooed amorously
In Spanish.
“ Bah! Vamos!” Carara flung hsr
from him, and stalked away.
“ Well, of all the outrageous things!"
said Miss Blake. “ Why. she was actu
ally flirting with that Chinaman."
’’Mariedetta flirts with every man
she can find,” said Jean, calmly, “ but
she doesn’t mean any harm. She’ll
marry Carara some time— If he doesn’t
kill her.”
"K ill her!” Miss Blake's eyes were
round. “ He wouldn’t do that!”
“ Indeed, yes. He Is a Mexican, and
he has a terrible temper."
Miss Blake sank back Into the ham
mock. “ How perfectly dreadful! And
yet—It must be heavenly to love a
man who would kill you.”
Miss Chapin lost herself in medita-
tlon for an instant. "Culver Is almost
like that when he Is angry. Hello,
here comes' our foreman!”
Stover, a tall, gangling cattle-man
with drooping grizzled mustache,
came shambling up to the steps. Hs
dusted his boots with his sombrero
and cleared his throat.
’’ 'Evening, Miss Jean. Is Mr. Cha
pin around?”
“ I think you’ll find him down by the
spring-house. Can I do anything for
you?”
"N op e!” Stover sighed heavily, and
got his frame gradually Into motion
again.
"You’re not looking well, Stover.
“ This
Grubsllnger Thinks
Run.”
Ha
Can
Are you 111?” Inquired Miss Chapin.
“ Not physical,” said the foreman,
checking the movement which had not
yet comunicated itself the entire
length of his frame. “ I reckon my
sperret’s broke, that’s all.”
"Haven’t you recovered from that
foot-race?”
"I have not, and I never will, so long
as that ornery Centipede outfit has
got It on us.”
"Nonsense, Stover!”
"What have they done?” Inquired
Miss Blake, curiously.
“ I haven't
heard about any foot-race.”
"You tell her,” said the man, with
another sigh, and a hopeless gesturo
that told the depth of his feelings.
“ Why, Stover hired a fellow a coupla
of months ago as a horse-wrangler.
The man said he was hungry, and
made a good Impression, so we put
bim on.”
Here Stover slowly raised one boot
ed foot and kicked his other calf.
“ The boys nicknamed him Humpy
Joe— ”
"Why, poor thing! Was he hump
backed?” Inquired Helen.
"No,” answered Still Bill. "Hump
back Is lucky. W e called him Humpy
Joe because when It came to running
he could sure hump himself.”
"Soon after Joseph went to work,”
Jean continued, “ the Centipede outfit
hired a new cook. You know the
Centipede Ranch— the one you s«s
over yonder by the foot-hills.’’
"It was’nt ‘soon after,’ It was si
multaneous,” said Stover, darkly.
’’W e’re beginntn' to see plain at last.”
He went on as If to air the Injury
that was gnawing him. “ One day w «
hear that this grub-slinger over yon
der thinks he can run, which same is
as welcome to us as the smell of flow
ers on a spring breeze, for Humpy
Joe had amused us In his idle hour«
by running Jack-rabbits to earth— "
“ Not really?" said Miss Blake.
“ Well, no, but from what we set.
we judge he'd ought to limp a hu»
dred yards In about nothing and
three-fifths seconds, so we frame a
race between him and the Centipede
Cook. With tumulchous joy we bet
our wages and all the loose gear we
have, and iu a burst of childish en
thusiasm we put up— tbe talking-ma
chine.”
"A phonograph?”
"Yes. An Echo Phonograph.” said
Miss Chapin.

“ Easy enough,” was the answer.
"It's inside the lady.”

"Does yonr husband ever loss his

"Not any more. He lost It perma
