! KYNOPSIS: Camped In the desert,,
Pierre learns from the old pro-'
pector, Jimmle Harrlgan, that a
man answering liruce's description
ie-wtth Colorado Bill hunting- the)
tost Mother Mountain Bold vein.
Vlcrre had impulsively given htt
irtuucv o Bruce for tble venture.
unnuu.ro that hie own estranged
father It backing It. Hoa Me con
cern It) not over the money, but the
tnjusl'ce done Ann. tchen llruce,
htr husband, hod deserted her on
the pretext that she and Pierre
were In love. Denying the charge,
Pierre wants to briny liruce back
to avert the scandal certain It the
villagers apprehend It. Meanwhile
he tears that the law, ll seeking
ilrnce as a suspect In a murder
for which Ann's lather has been
arrested, may expose the shameful
secret.

Chapter. 27
DESERT CONFIDENCES
"I DON'T care what happens to
1 me. Mr. Hnrrltcan." Pierre ex
claimed',' "If only 1 can find Druce
and get him home to Ann first. I
don't think that Bruce believes
-what he wrote In that letter to Ann
he Bliiiply couldn't. And It was
all to false.
"A woman like Ann couldn't be
untrue to her husband, even even
If the other man had tried to make
' love to her. And Ann couldn't let
her husband brand the other man
as that , kind of scoundrel when
the knew he was Innocent.
, "1 think Bruce Is so crazy to go
into this gold mine here that be
iosed the other thing as an excuse
;to get away1 from Orchard HIM
We didn't dare .- let them know
where we thought ha bad gone,
because they would send an officer
after him and then It would all
come out about bis leaving Ann.
"There was no other way but, for
me to find him first to he could
come home as If nothing bad hap
pened between him and Ann. It's
only Ann that's to be considered.
I don't count. I guess I'm finished
anyway." ? ,
' And the desert man, because bis
heart was kind, refrained from
more questions or comments.
For a long time pierre lay gazing
at, the stars. His companion sat be-
Bide the dead campflre, smoking.
I At last Pierre spoke softly, "Mr.
iHnrrlgaiH were you ever married?"
The mai) of the desert answered
."Not quite,. lad. I was near to tt
'once, but It missed me. Through
iforce av circumstances the years av
me life that should have been given
to murryln' a wife and raisin' a
family have been, spent In playln'
nurse to a flock av burros."
But.l'lorre's thoughts were too far
lawny for him to notice the humor of
the Irishman's views.
"When Father Tony . and my
jniolhor were young, mother would
not marry him because she wanted
a stage careor. I am sure mother
always lovod blm. I don't think
mother, ever really loved the man
she did mai;ry, my . father, lie was
torrlbly cruel to mother and me
when we war oh 'the stage togeth
er. Father used to make me. give
up everything to Bruce, his stepson.
Then futher deserted mother and
me went away, we never knew
where, and after that Father Tony
and mother and I were happy to
gether in Orchard Hill.
"You believe In love, don't you,
Mr. IlnrrlganT" ."'
The man of the desert answered
philosophically: "There must be
some such thing, I suppose, to per
snade men. and women to make
suclt fools av thlmselves over one
another.1
: ''Itve often won'dored," Pierre
continued, "how it would be to mar
ry a girl you loved and settle down
In' eomo nice place and be a bank
clerk,, or something nice that all
your life, I loved a girl once It
wou't do any barm out here In the
desert It I confess I love her yet I
inever told her I lovod ber because
jl was going to be an actor and I
don't think actors should marry. I
think the girl loves me, too, but we
have never talked about our love.
She married another man. I don't
think; they wero very happy to
gether. "But mother used to say there
are many things In life that are as
Dual and Irrevocable as death.
When the girl you love . marries
some other man It Is like that The
man might die, or they might be
divorced, but that wouldn't undo
the fact that they bad been hus
band and wife. The girl and I are
dead to each other. We can go on
loving each other, but we can't
change the foot of her being tho
other man's wife,".
There was a long silence after
this. Ilarrlgsn knocked the ashes
from his pipe and lay down. But
presently Pierre spoke again, and
there was a timid, childish quality
In his voice which touched the
warm Irish heart of bis companion.
"Are you asleep?"

fore ye tomorrow."
"I know that's what I'm wonder
ing about. You know I have no gun,
Mr. Harrlgan. I don't think I ever
bad one in my bonds." .,
"So I was thlnkln' and ye'lt do
better without. There'll be notbln'
far ye to shoot notbln' that ye
could shoot, I mean."
: "But what if I should meet i
wild animal of some kind?" ' '
"Ye'll meet notbln' bigger than
a coyote and ye'll meet no ooyote
If he sees ye first." -
"But I might be bitten by a
snake!" j ' '
"I've told ye what to do In that
case. Av course ye might drop dead
av heart failure. But the chances
are ye will not."
"What if I run out of water?"
"Ye'll carry enough to last ye to
Ulack water Tanks and back. If ye
should waste It by takln' a bath, or
mislay yer canteen ye ought to die
of thirst, as ye probably wll.
."Suppose I don't find Bruce and
Colorado Bill at the Tanks.'; . .
"Then ye'll come back here to
Drlppln' Spring and follow the
trail t showed ye to my place In
the Biscuit Hills. Ye can't miss yer
way to the Tanks because ye'll steer
straight fer the little hollow of
Mother Mountain. But, It ye should
not meet yer men on yer way to
the Tanks, or not find them there,
so .that ye have to come hack alone,
then be careful to stick to the trail!.
It , should be clear enough with
Colorado Bill and bis outfit Just
goln' over It, and yer own fresh
tracks besides, but, watch H every
step. It ye leave the way back here
to Drlppln' Spring and turn aside
Into Skeleton Sink ye may Just
make yer peace with God."
Again the alienee ot the desert
night was unbroken. Then Pierre
asked softly, "Mr. Harrlgan, do you
believe that those we call dead can
see us like a person In the wings
of a theater, could watch an actor
on the stage?" , ,.
'"Tla like the priests tell us, I
suppose." . .. .. " ;. -;,
. "Well," . returned Pierre. "I can
feel my mother watching me as I
used to when I played my bits on
the stage. And when I would-get
my cue to exit I would run off the
stage Into mother's arms. And Just
before mother died she made me
understand that death Is only the
exit ot the actor from the stage. ; ,
"You seo, Mr, Harrlgan, aa ac
tor's exit Is the most Important
thing be does. It doesn't matter so
much how you come Into this world
whether "you'are "born well and
all .that. It'a now you go out that
really counts.... . , . .. .. ... .
, "It'a Just almply no use to make
a good entrance In a great part It
you're going to fall down at the fin
ish, I mean; if you can't build your
part up to tlie very last lino, and
make your exit a great one. That's
what I've always thought I would
do., , .,
"I've always expected to play the
part, writtoa for me so .that when
my cue came I could make my exit
as I used to do when I was a kld-r
and that I would hear mother say.
Bravo, my little Pierre I
In the darkness the man of the
desert crossed himself and mutter
ed a prayer.
'Btit that's all over now. Mr.
Harrlgan. I'm a rotten failure. I
was cast to play the part ot a real
artist- ,ot the stage, and mother
aaved the. money (or me to go to
School. vAnd then I gave my school
monoy to Bruce, foe bltn to put It
into a gold mine out here In Nevada.
I don't think I can make much of
an exit now. The miserable soda
Jerk will Just sneak off the stage
anyway tie can manage it and the
sooner the better.. 1 don't think
mother will say, 'Brivo, bravo, my
little Pierre!'"
'The saints keep us. what talk Is
this?" muttered Jimmle Harrlgan
to himself. Aloud lie said, "Never
mind, lad, ye'll feel different when
ye see daylight to-morrow morning.
Go to sleep now like a good bey."
rom out of the vast desert came
a wild, weird, cry. .
.nr. uumgnn," whispered Pierre.
"Did you hcor?"
"'TIs only, a coyoto. lad. Co to
sleep, ye've talked enough,"
I I think It might be belter If
I had a guu."
The cry came again a lone-
drawn unearthly howl ending lu a
sobbing laugh.
"Mr. Harrlgan, then It Is asaln!
Did you hear?"
'Clo to sleep, lad, go to sleep."

CRY OUT AGAINST
CATHOLIC CLERGY
WEXICO CITY, July 30. -4APj
Dl4patcl.es from Jalapa, Vera Crust,
todov Bald the young man who shot
Governor Ad a 1 ber to Tejeda In the ear
laat Saturday was dead from wounds
Inflicted by friends- of the governor
immediately after the shooting.
Efforts to obtain a statement from
the youth .were futile, and he did
not reveal his name.
The attempt against the governor
was the subject of a vote of protest,
passed unanimously by the chamber
of deputies after Deputy Guillermo
Rodriguez, of Vera Cruz, had warmly
defended the governor's efforts to en
force the newly enacted state law
which limits to 13 the number of
priests who may administer to the
1,300,000 inhabitants; of the state.
. Dispute lies from Jalapa a.d that
normal school students and state gov
ernment employes paraded last night,
shouting "down with the clergy." The
governor, - addressing the paraders
from a balcony of the government
palace, declared be would not recede
from his anti-church policy.
