Chapter 5
LOVE SONQ
ROSITA reached out her right
hand, shouting. 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."

E FOR LINEN
NDUSTRY FUNDS
PORTLAND. Ore., March 16WAP)
Fine linens will catch the eye of
almost any woman, but the flax and

eye of a group of Oregon women.

Gabriel of Portland, tha Oregon wo
men's campaign for development of
tbe flax Industry has rallied wide
spread support. Oovernment co-operation

Encouraging words and support
were received by the group from Sen
ator Charles L. McNary of Oregon, the
minority leader.
"I am so happy to know of your
splendid co-operation1 and that of
your committees tn the matter of pro
motion of the linen Industry," Sena
tor McNary- wired Mrs. Gabriel.
'I hope we may succeed in obtain
ing government aid In a practical
way."
The new group will amplify previ
ous efforts which have been made to
secure funds. Authorization of a
large PWA loan for development of
the Willamette valley flax industry
was made, but funds were not allo
cated. Backers of the former movement
have hopes of receiving that financial
aid under new PWA funds expected
to be appropriated by congress. But
without resting on previous efforts,
the present campaign has been
launched to rally to the support of
dozens of state aervloa groups and
scores of prominent persona.
Concerted action abouid be taken
to develop Industries In which Ore
gon la peculiarly fitted by soil and
climatic conditions, declared Mrs. Ga
brLel.
