Every Bound of her voice struck through the heart of the Kid like a mighty chord iudi by a thousand sweet voices. "The black horse for yon. Pai cnal!" he called over his shoulder. "Steady all. I throw on the brake!" It screeched, the wooden blocks grinding on the iron tires as the Kid checked the rush of the horses with all his might. And then down Into the tangle. He caught the knife from the hand of the girl and slashed. The leather traces were shorn, the long reins gashed in two, and In a moment Mateo Rubrlz, on the bare back of the white wheeler, was gal loping straight ahead down the road. For he knew that the girl's mus tang, the red mare, and the black horse were all fresh, but the white was tired, very tired, already and with no feather's weight on Its back. They raced their horses for distance. And then they were running for time, with a sun that sloped with a maddening slowness towards the -western horizon. Cor the pursuit could not gain and the weary white horse held back the four fugitives. More than once, bullets sang In the air, but the distance was en tirely too great; only a random ebot could strike them. At last the Kid brought Sally close beside the white. He took the hand of Rubrlz and lifted twenty pounds, thirty pounds, forty pounds of the bulk of the big rider, transfer ring It thus to tbe strong back and the tireless. Iron legs of red Sally There was no faltering In her, and It was her strength that carried them Into the red of the sunset, and suddenly Into the quick twilight that securely covered them from fur ther pursuit at that moment. All pursuit was not ended, of course, unless those savage riders from the Valley of the Dead gave a little more thought to their memory of Juan-SUva, smiling open-eyed at the sun. Out tbe trntb was that they had neither sight nor sound of an enemy all the way to Ouraya. But tbe taste of life was so exceed ingly sweet to them all, after tha Valley of the Dead, that the precious trinket Inside the bit of chamois was sever unwrapped once during the entire journey. Perhaps there never was a hap pier Journey, In spite of the sand' filled winds that whipped and choked them, and the foul water, and tho starvation rations moat of the way. and the reason tor that hap pinoss was that here were four who had been through fire together, so that they knew the temper of one another. And what is happiness In this world? They had come Into the green of living mountains living wltb grass and wltb trees and with water after the naked desert they had crossed. The Kid himself as the evening closed In, had brought down wltb two shots from one of Estrada's re volvers a deer that leaped out be fore them from a thicket T OSITA stood leaning against a tree, Just then, tapping with her slender Angers against the rough of the bark. "Tell me, Matoo," she said, "If you have forglvon this grlngot Have you forgiven him, and forgotten?" "I?" exclaimed Rubrlz but even he guarded his voice so that It might not enter tho sleep and disturb the arennis of Pascual. "If I forgive him, may San Juan of Caplstrnno never forglvo me or be aiding me agalnl What? A man-stealer who caught away Tonlo from me? Forgive him? I'll see him damned before 1 forgive him." He half raised himself and glared at Montana, who lay flat on his back now, with his hnnds cupped at the back of his bend. "Ay. Mateo," snld the Kid, dream ily. "I've always known It. Some day I'll have my thumbs In the soft of your throat and break your wind pipe between them." Ruhrlz made a souud as though he ero drawing water, not air, through hla set teeth. nut when you are doad," said Rubrli, "San Juan strike me If I shall nol be a little sad." "Well." said Montana. In his gen tle voice, "when I've burled you. I'll got a thick-headed bulldog and call him Rubrlz. and that will take your place well enough." "Ah h h!" murmured Rubrlz, com lng softly, catlike, to his knees and one hand. "Be still, Mateo!" commanded tha girl. "You would help him, eh?" de manded Rubrlz. "And yet God knows bow many of your countrymen ha baa butchered like sheep." Sha went to Montana and leaned over him. "What am I to yon, devil of a gringo?" she asked. "Sit down here and I'll tell you," said Montana. She sat down at once, and ha moved until his head rested In her lap. "Now tell me," said the girl. "Afterwards," said he, "I'll tell you how much 1 love you, but now 1 wish to sleep. Sing to me, Roslta." "Ah," said the girl, "tell ma If I hate you or love you most!" "Sing to me," insisted Montana, and you'll find the answer In tha songs." She laughed a little, and then sha began to sing In a voice smaller than speech. Rubrlz strained bis ears to catch the sounds. He could see tha dimness of her hands smoothing tha brow of the Kid. When they came Into Duraya, Id tha middle of the night, they climbed, all tour, to the room of tha bishop. He rose from prayer to greet them. He was very tired, very weary. But when be saw them a strength flowed suddenly back through him. "My children," he enld, "are you tbe ones who went to tbe Valley of the Dead and undid the work of the devil there? Was It you who turned the slaves loose?" "Loose?" exclaimed Rubrlz. "Do you mean to say that tha slaves broke loose?" "ITTB ONLY have . rumors and ' ' whispers," said the bishop. "I know nothing for certain except that the soldiers are rushing towards the Valley of the Dead and extending long cordons to sweep up the es caped men. "And Inside the valley, Juan-SUva and the general himself were found dead and terribly mangled, and that Alvarez and another man were killed, also, together with a great many of the guards. "It Is a dreadful thing end It hap pened, I hear, while most of thi guards were rushing away to try to recapture daring prisoners who were escaping In the carriage of Juan Sllva himself! Ah, El Kced! Do 1 set you holding tho rolns? But I have been kneeling here In prayer tot Juan-SUva!" "All the saints praying would never be any good to the soul ol Juan-SUva," said Rubrlz. "Perhaps not," said the bishop "but 1 llko hard tasks. What Is this brother?" For Pascual, patiently, was hold lng up the broken half of the emer aid crown In one hand, and tbe lost Jewel of Alvarez lay In the othei palm. The bishop took up the trca sure as though It were truly com posed of green fire. He raised It In his Joined hands high above his head. One could forget, then, his meaget nightgown, his bare feet with tba wind blowing on bis shanks. Perhaps It was unclertcal tor a bishop to be seen In this Informal garb by a woman, but elnca be had one arm, at that time, about the shoulders of Roslta, the bishop did not seem to be troubled. "Well." said Rubrlz, "the devil had no commission for this Job, except that most of the work was done by a gringo." "Hush!" said the bishop. "Who can speak of tbe devil whore there has been the manifest hand of God?" He went on talking to Rubrlz, for a time, and to big Pascual, who whs smiling like a child, his two great bands clasped together. And at last Bishop Emlllano said: "But I have not said a word of thanks to my son Montana. Where has ha gone? And where Is Roslta?" "El Koed," snld Rubrlz, "why should he care about thanks when he has Roslta?" And all three of them, on a sud den Impulse, leaned out of the win dow and looked down. There In the thick gloom of the street they could soe a man and a woman walking slowly, their heads bowed close to gether. "Hal!" mid Rubrlz. "Can't he find women In his own country? Does the gringo dog come down here to steal our girls away from us?" "And our hearts, brother." sold i ruscuai. "Ay." erunted Rubrlz, "thess gringos they stop at nothing they will have all."
