TREACHERY
'"-vH-HO!" murmured the general.
"Are you tslking to me about
marriage?"
"I'm talking to you about noth
ing," said Roslta.
"I could go a general like Es
trada he could go to some big
ranch-owner with a hundred thou
sand cattlo wltb rivers and moun
tains all of his own a man like
Estrada could find a man with a for
tune and a daughter. Eh, Roslta?"
"Well, there are plenty of them."
"But let me tel. you I am going to
be rich In my own right And then.
Roslta well, I have eyes and I've
used them. Do you understand? You
are enough for me In yourself.''
She Jerked around towards him.
"Ab. Is It that?" she asked.
"Well, look at me and say some
thing. What do you see?"
"A big mustache," said the girl,
calmly.
It seemed to Montana that the
general would surely fly Into a pas
sion, but he only laughed.
"When I'm on horseback, I look
better." he said. "But I'm not beautl-
ful. However, there are beautiful
things about me."
"There are the soldiers who are
afraid not to follow you," said the
girl.
"They have followed me Into
places, too. They have died like flies
around me. Maybe they will die that
way again. That Is what e are, to
me. Flies, now that I am General
Estrada. But because they arc afraid
to run away when I lead them, one
day I shall be rich."
"Yes," nodded the girl.
"The finest province In Mojlco
I shall ask for It, and It shall he
mine. Shall we help ourselves to the
plunder, then?"
"We?"
"Yes, You and I. Roslta, I speak
from my heart See what I am. Not
beautiful. Not very young. But
strong. There Is a brain up here on
top of the mustache."
"That Is true," she answered.
"A BRAIN clever enough to see
that Roslta Is worth more than
a rich girl. Tell me, then are we to
be married?"
"Well, perhaps we are," she said.
"And then you will stop letting
your eyes run tbls way and that?"
"I'll try to stop," she said. "It's
hard to learn all at once."
She waa bard as steel, bright as
steel, cold as steel. There was no
smiling about her, now.
"Then we begin as trleni.a, and
hope to end as lovers?" he asked.
"We may end that way," said the
girl.
"Time teaches us how to put up
with ugly things," said the general.
"When you boar the crowd yelling
for me and when you see the horse
dancing under mo, then you will like
me much better. But If we are
friends, you know that there Is no
lying hetwoen us?"

"No," she agreed. But she
frowned.
"Then tell me was it the truth
'ou spoke to me tonight?"
"No," she said.
A little electric prickling spread
: ross the small of Montana's back.
"I knew It was a He," said the
jeneral, gently. "But truth Is always
a welcome guest, even wber It
comes late. Who was It tha. you sent
to the postern and told about the
signal that would bring out the ser
geant?" At this she closed her eyes and
bent back her head, as the Kid had
seen her do before. But ; t last she
looked at the governor again and
said, "It was a gringo."
"A gringo? And he has come safe
ly Into this fort and gone out again?"
"He has stalnei' his skin to make
It darker. His hair Is black. But his
eyes are blue."
"Go on!" urged the general. "I
shall have blm If I have to ride t
thousand miles to get him."

"It Is El Keed!" she said. almos
gloomily.
the general repeated
stupidly.
The anger of Rubrlz at this treach
ery made him actually murmur out
loud. The Kid gripped his arm to call
him back to himself. Ills own teeth
were set. At told himself that he
was seeing not Roslta, only, but the
hearts of all pretty women.
The general had taken the news
like a bullet through the. body. "El
Keed?" he repealed, stupid,). "But
be Is far away In the north. Mexico
Is closed against him". Ike the teeth
of a wolf frozen dead. Ho will never
dare to enter this country again.
Some other mnn has pretended to be
El Keed!"
"It Is El Keed," she Insisted, In
that flat voice. "In his own country
there Is nothing for him to do hut

"But In Duraya here In my fort
what could he want here?"
"Tlfe ememld crown of Our Lady,'1
said tho girl.
"Blood of my heart! Blood of
Heaven! Blood of my heart!"
gasped the general. "Why should ha
look that here?"
Tha girl smiled. "We are frlenda
we tell no lies to one another?"
said she.
But Estrada had to take a turn or
so up and down the room before he
could face Roslta onco more.
"Come away wllh me," he told
her. "I shall tend you safely home.
There are many things for me to do.
If the gringo devil and robber has
been Inside the fort If he hsi
smelled the wny Roslta. you have
told me more than the value of life.
Come quickly!"
They went off together, and th
muttering voice of the general rolled
Indistinctly over his shoulder: "El
Keed In Duraya' Blood of my
heart, what man would bellove It?"
