Rubric, the bandit. Mateo is not th
usual bandit; he steals only rot..

Brother Paacual is not the ordinary
friar. Jar he hue tome to get Ma

"EL KEED"
"A II. Mateo, In thli 'El Koed' the
only man? Tnts gringo you

"Ay, this man I bat la the only
one. But I also lore him, and be
lovea me, Hal, raseual! Think that
I had him under the muzzle ot my
gun. That hla life waa like thla, in
my hand to crush. Aud there lay

!me from apeaking about It.
"But I lot them both go free be
cause Tonlo lovea me, even while
be la wearing another name and
speaking another speech. And Mon
'tana I saw was the second man in
,the world. Mubrli, then El Keed.
There la no third.
"! could not kill him. I left the
home. I took hla hand. We apoko
.quietly. We were friends. For a little
while, as I wont away, my heart waa
so full with my friend that I could
forget bow I h.id lost Tonln through
him."
The blood-bay mare was
Brother Paacual knew very well
that fnmous tale of how the Mon
tnna Kid. by means ot a tattooed
birthmark, bad Insinuated himself
into the Lavery household In the
place of the son whom Rubric, to
repay the whip-stroke, had stolen
twenty years before; but then some
stroke ot conscience had driven the
Kid south Into Mexico to find the
real heir, whom he had seen there
In hla wanderings, .
He knew bow Montana bad fought
to take young "Tonlo" away, and
how Rubrls, who had raised the boy
to love him and bate the "gringos,"
bad resisted desperately and then
pursued the pair north towards the
Rio Grande. Now Tonlo was restored
to hla blood and his family; he had
been sent oft to Europe to put aome
distance botween him and his ter
rible foster fathor, Rubrii; and the
Montana Kid El Keed in Moxlco
remained on the Lavery ranch about
to marry tho daughter of the family.
RUBRIZ blew his nose with a
great snoring sound.
"Now I am bolter," he said.
"This Montana who stole. Tonlo "
began the friar.
"Be silent!" shouted Rubrls, with
the face of a madman.
"(f he were with you, might you
not steal back the emeralds, even
from Fort Duraya and Goneral Es
trada? And It you wont to El Koed.
might he not remember bow you
onre spared him? Might he not ride
with you In spite of the danger?"
"He Is lo marry the sister of
Tonln. How can 1 make him leave
her?"
"Mateo, It la not for us to doubt.
Let us go north towards the land ot
the gringos. Let us cross the river,
'hen we have come to the place.
God will surely show us the proper
way. He will bring even Montana
Into our hands."
Rubrii. at this, had stopped his
paring. Ills heart began to lift
higher and hither.
'Taacual," he said, "who caa tell?

Admiration for the mourcefulnfM
and backwoods lore of Oswald Hunt.
74-year-old woodcutter, todny re
placed fears which had been held for
his safety when a protracted snnw
storm raged about his mountain
cabin 45 miles from here.
Saturday night a state policeman
and a government trapper imishlng
toward Hunt's cabin with emergency
rations found him on home-marte
skits mnklng a trek toward civilisa
tion to replenish his larder.
Laiifililng with great gusto, he as
sured the two he was In good health,
took the supplies and started back
toward hla lonely mountain cabin.

111 ot God, after all. It Is true! I
eel that the thing ehall be. We shall
ride together; we shall work to
gether; and what w 111 walla of stone
be, what will toldlera be, when we
two are sl-'e by aide?"
"But he Is a gringo and ah, the
pity of it!" aald the friar.
"Ay," groaned Rubrii, "the pity
of it! But only bla akin is American
and bis heart la pure Meilcan!"
IN the corral the blood-bay mare
was being drawn to the snubbing
post. And that great rider of out
law horaes. Tombstone Joe, waa
pulling the ropea. The cowpunchera
sat like crows on the fence posts,
eight feet from the ground.
The Montana Kid waa among the
crows. From the veranda of the
ranch house, he looked like any of
the others except that his shoulders
were a little wider and the big
double cord of back muscle could be
distinguished even at that distance,
and through the ablrt.
Ruth Lavery stood by one of the
porch pillars.
"We ought to go down," she said.
"There's no use having too much
audience," aald Kichard Lavery.
"That would make Montana want
to ride the mare himself."
"He's promised not to," answered
the girl. But fear changed the blue
of her eyes as she spoke.
"Promlaos well, promises are
being drawn to the post.
still only words, to Montana," aald
her fathor.
"Don't any that," she protested.
"Well, I won't say it, then," an
swered tall Richard Lnvery. But he
kept his thought In the grim lines
of his face.
"You've never loved hlmf" aald
the girl, nervously.
"Honor and respect him I can,"
said Lavery, curtly. "He's more man
than anyone I know."
At this she slghod, quickly, as one
in whom a great emotion la con
stantly pent. And she broke out,
suddenly, "You think he's only a
tramp."
"I don't think he's only a tramp,"
said Richard Lavery.
He looked down at a black band
around the arm of his coat. His wife
had died two months before.
"You think he's a tramp and
something more," said the girl,
speaking qulolly, mostly to herself.
"You sent Dick away to Europe to
get him away from Montana to get
him away from temptation. You've
never trusted Montana."
"Now that your mothor Is gone
said Lavery, very gently, "do you
think that he'll be with us long?"
8he lifted her bead a little. She
scanned, aa It to find the anawor
there, the long lines of the valley,
and the high plateaus, and the green
pasture lands for miles and miles
which all belonged to the Lavery
estate.
"We'll be married Sunday," she
said, briefly.
"He's put it off before," said the
rancher, and there was no mercy
In his hard voice. "He'll put it off
again."
"He won't! This Is the last time!
He knows It." Then she added. In a
half-weary, half-sad outburst.
"Doesn't he care about me?"
"Ay, he cftrea about you. And h
cares about other things, too. Horses
and guns and bis freedom."
