She returned to her desV. pulled It before tha hearth, mapped on a low light and start ed compoaim the reply, her eheeki aa scarlet aa the velvet robe he wore. And then ahe wrote, awlftly. Dear Pedro: Mr. Raskthome will write the formal decision to Judge Franck. but I would like vou to know why I reached my declslt-n. Really. 1 have never had to reach one. At no time have I. per sonally wanted to sell the ranch Despite your belief that the Ca brilloa have thought nf It only as a means of Income, this ha not been true of me. or perhans. as M sava. I am not a Cabrillo. To me. the ranch has always heen a vmhol of home. I have worked for the rfav when I eould re"rn the to live. Your offer forced me to retire for a visit, and that visit made me know 1 eould not part with It without first trvlnr to save It for welf. Perhan It l wron for me to follow vour nls.n to convert the place Into a dalrv farm, however the plan Is not original, and when you are flghtln" for something you love . . . all's fair. T know vottr father's contract allows him to remain as manager as lone as the ororrtv remains In the hands of the Cihrlllns T am bringing In a dairy exnert Tf he . . and vou. rare to remain under these circumstances, and Constance stopped to nibble the ec of her ren. WT" couldn't she th'ik of El Pahrl'lo without the Tavlors there Why couldn't she divorce them from the raneti: It waa the ranch she loved Were they as much a nsjrf of tie ranch as the house end the willow teees. and th Mils and the neean? They lore's That lu't'rled her next words. She was confident It was the only reason ahe wrote th-m. "and I hone you will find It convenient to stav. at least dur ing the three veers T am taking fo" irtw esrterfment T will arrive, on New Yeara dav May 1 now hear whether or not von will remain ... at vour esrHest convenience?

"vou bet we're staving We have r'ngslde seats at the biggest atocV show the west has ever nut on" John raced U" and down then stonned before Constance "Chita there's something oueer tbout her sieving on ' don't lVe It No business men. and 1 have grct reject for the business ehtlltr of ctt'emen. with the coital these follows hive would sVe three vesrs nut nf their live fir the nleature of n.fltrhlne a rirl make a -'lnre of the nlw they vented Co-nie whst Is this son e T.ivlor's like?"

" John resumed his paring and siin stnnoed before Constance "The Tavlors are remaining for ee of two reason he stated "Either th's vonne Tavlor hones to marrv El Cabrillo ... or else thev will vork against vou uctTcover " Constance reached for a clearet and for once John did not spring to light it for her. She was glad The silly little white cylinder was trembling Either reason wai dis concerting One more than an other. "Idiot," aha charged her self. "Aa the young Taylor can't marry El Cabrillo. unless Donna should succumb, and I can't imag ine Donna falling for a vaquero." Constance began, "ha must mean Destroyers Wait Repair. Vallejo, Cal..

THE ITIOOII Bo WflMrii to work . . . undeivotei How ever, aa I am hiring the dairyman and the employees have been with the Cabrillna since time began. I don't intend worrying about their making any headway" John drew an ottoman close. "I'm iealoua of that Tavlor " he confided, half ruefully. "He'll be there seeing you every day Con stance, how about taking mt on aa vour business manager?" "Dollar-i-year man?" inquired Constance. "But don't be foolish. John, there's no reason for my seeing Taylor every day. or even every week . . . and what if I should?" she added. "Look, here'a a letter from .he State Agricul tural college, must be Pederson'a credentials: Pederson la tha Dane Mrs. MacKelvey believes in so firmly." Constance tried several times to interest the family In the ranch. "Imagine a man graduating from a cow-college." disparaged Donna. "What good are those ref erences? Who cares If he's had ten years of practical husbandry since then? Anyone who could stand to be around cow could run dairy." Bound By Kindness C INSTANCE gave up. She waa leaving for the west, two days before Christmas. There would be nothing merry or peaceful among the Cabrilloa if she remained She had one last chore. She must tell her story. Fortunately the reporter had imagination. Into hia account he wove the history of Michael Mahoney. as well as the Cabrilloa. and. he gave full credit for the present condition of the ranch to the Tavlors. who had carried on despite changing conditions. "That." atated John, atriklnf the paper aa he drove with Con stance to her west-bound train will out a final check on Cabrillo credit. No man. aside from the one who loves you. will believe vou can make good against such odds" Constance aettlcd Into her eom nartment: Lamson bringing evl dencea of John Raskthnrne'a af fection with him. Candv. flowers, magazines and a number of booka on dairy farming She had received her Christmas gift from him. a fleece-lined coat nf softest leather: a leather bound wristwatch: laced boots of softest doeskin, and. riding In the bag "?e car. handsome stock sad dle Lamson. the only family repre sentative. gve her an a'itated farewell "Re careful of the 'orses. Miss Conchita. I wish vou would wait until T could loin vou " "You can loin me anvtlme vnu're readv." Constance assured him. "Someone has to drive my car out in the soring." Lamson left and she turned to John. How could she think of him s a sweetheart, when he was father mother and brother to her' He'd thought of the things fadine should have remembered He'd stood bv her through her trouhtes as Don should have stood Now he wa letting her go on. into a new world, without Irv ing to hold her: letting her fry out her wings, as a father would And he'd be there. In the background waiting. If the wings weren't strong enough. "John, you're binding me to vou with vour kindness." she whispered Into his shoulder, and leaned there a moment. And then the train was moving out and she was alone. Llhts slid oast her window, colored lights, tinv trees glittering In "hack windows along the rail'nad snow hiding the ugliness of the wn nlarea which held them Once, after she had turned out her light and lav watching the landscane. a sleigh waited at a crossing, a sleigh filled with nen nle old and voting ... a family, all together. goin somewhere to ce'-hrate the holiday. Constance thought of her moth er's farewell a ouick. light, per fumed kiss "1 hone vnu're not making a m'stake. dear " Don and Donna had left for a cocktail party without offering farewell. Constance had watched the e-!it-terlng parade, seeing herself In severe black tailored clothes Now she thoueht. bitterly 'The runt of the litter: the nueer cross- nreti: the throwback Morning came with the snow falling thirk. blurring the land scape and casting an unearthly "low In the romnartment. The diner was filled with families go. ing home for Christmas: with "ommercisl men hnrrving home for one dav with their families: even the waiters were filled with the iov of the holidays Constance retreated from the hanov neonle. She rang for a table and hurled her thoughts In the future. Here were the letters pertain ing to transactions. She'd read them through, every one of them . . but later, now she would study dairying She read Hol steins. Jersrva. Ouernsevs. Short horns. Herefords. Galloways Devons and Durhams marched cross the pages of the books reeo masn. tillage, housing, mar keting, crammed Into her mind What would Michael Mahoney have thought of his throwback she wondered once. She closed the hooks and leaned back as sured. She had done exactly what Michael would have done under the." circumstances. "I can't lose" she cried aloud "t can't it isn't in the cards; it's lust histo'v repeating Itself."
