Flame a leaped with the draught from the door, to tnrow oronze imnia on the dark face, to reflect flamea in the dark eyes, rnnctmr ran an InauirinK fin err along the plane uf his cheek and wondered if all thing unat tainable became increasingly pre cious. "You can't borrow without se curity. Pedro, she cniaea. "Michael, hasn't anyone ever told vou that you can't bargain -.ah inv?

I was afrsid rd try to sell some tough hombre on a lot with Irish eyes and skin that rated ninety-nine percent cream. He released her to build up the lire. The loga caught, blazed, filled the room with golden light, as Pedro's presence there seemed to fill it with life and vitality. "What have you been doing while I've been away?" he de manded. Constance remembered. Think' ln PHrn" "Too much of anything Is dangerous." he ehided, and leaned forward to atudy her "what's wrong?" Constance sat thinking, sat wat-hin Pedro. She was distrust. Inn .inhn Raikthorne as she had previously distrusted Pedro. Why? Was she so fickle, so vacil lating, she swung to the man in whose presence she was? Two months ago she had thought. "It u Pedersen, ana i against the Taylors and the Ca brillos, with John to back me. Now she thought. "It is Pedersen, Peter Senior and I. against John and the Cabrillos. with Pedro to back me." Until she was sure she wss not lone In this fight for El Cabrillo: until she knew, without question, who would back her to win, she couldn't speak; she couldn't risk disloyalty. , "I can't tell anyone, Pedro," she answered slowly. "That's all right, providing It doesn't burden you too much. Why not tell me hypothetlcally?" Constance wondered if she could break down the essentials and put them into a few words. "Pedro," she asked, "what la victory? Attainment of a thing, a person, a condition, or what?" To me, the victory lies In the battle. No one can defeat you if vou come out of the battle know ing you've given your best. You can lose every earthly possession, every earthly love, but as long as vou know you have played the game to the best of your ability, you're not defeated." In the deep sigh which came from Constance, came also her doubts and fears. "Thank you, Pedro." She stretched her hand to him. 'That's what I needed to know." "And I think," added Pedro, holding her hand tightly, "that Michael Mahonev wouldn't count a battle lost until he had been slammed Into the bastile and the key was turned on him. Even then his luck might turn at the sero hour." "Now let's talk business," sug gested Constance. "I'll have Juli ano serve dinner In here; provid ed he'll allow us to remain alone without a duenna. Poor Juliano. every time he sees me In slacks, he heads for the chapel to say a doren pravera for my soul." Pedro was home and all was right with the world. Quickened Pace ALL was right with ,"ohn Rask thome. Constance wondered how she could have thought John, her friend, faithful ever-patient John, would have taken advan tage of their agreement. It was ludicrous. They'd find a way to keep the ranch In the hands of the Cabrillos. Now all ennri must he concentrated on making It a success. Pedro was home. He arrived Just in time to save Constance from something, she was never sure lust what It was. The last round-up threatened to be a fu nereal affair. Little brown men rode spdlv out of El Cabrillo. herding the last beef cattle to market. Pedro rode with them Thry all returned together. In high snirits. Dolores, watching, shook ber head. "Pedro, she sighed, from his hand he can make them eat Life on El Cahnllo quickened Its pare. False soring came and the fields were planted. The Dutch Belted herd moved into the first quarters, ready, and Immrdi ately started giving the ranch Its flrt feeling of a dairv. Trurkloads of lowing, nrotest Ing cows came in from the south to stumble down the runw look about with resigned eves. then sniffing food, amble over to feed bins and accept El Cabrillo as home. hven the taonuo men grew contented. "Senorila," Francisco, a milker, railed one evening, "look. Saint Channel Daisy, she tsa eive in. crease.

Manuelo. he who hath thos Dotch Belted, he has not soch butter fat" And his brown face beamed with pride above the starched white collar of his uniform. Now it remained only for the railroad to be completed so that they could bring in the rest of the herds and start El Cabrillo Rarcho on its road to security. , Meanwhile Constance and Pe dro rode. The hills were no longer sear brown but the tender young green of new grass, and the can. yons were filled with mauve mists. Purple rain clouds capped the peaks to shed silver streaks on the lowlands. The poppies came like golden coins scattered by the careless hands of a Cabrillo, or heaped in mounds flanked by purple lupin. Constance, watching the dark quiet man who rode beside her, found her own likeness to this land. Something new. tender and selfless was growing in her heart, veiled from maturing by a prom ise given In the winter of strsnge country. "Who said the sands or time ran swiftly?" demanded Pedro, a they sat in the shelter of a live- oak while the spring shower pep pered their retreat. "Michael, why three years?" Constance sprang up and walked to the edge of their shel ter, then turned back. "Because I Dromised. Pedro. You said, that first day, "how explain love to one who has never loved.' How did I know you couldn't bargain with love?" He was beside her. was holding her arms tightly. "You made some such bargain when you were east," he stated. "Didn't you know then?" "Oh Pedro, how could I tell It wasn't an infatuation, some ro mantic dream, propinquity . . , Pedro, how do I know now that it isn't?" "Don t you know?" I Didn't Think' THE rain droned on the trees and the rocks. Constance lifted clear eyes to Pedro's. "That niehl I came back; then when you re turned from your trip: those two short times I spent in your arms, I didn't think. I didn't want to think, it was enough to be ... to be there with you. Thai's why I asked you to promise there'd be 'no more of this.' " Love ..li t a matter of the brain," Pedro protested. "Mar riages that are thought out are loveless affairs. God knows. Mi chael, I didn't want to love you. I wanted El Cabrillo more than anything in the world, until I met you, and then I couldn't fight you to take it away from you. What I should do is lift vou by this mop of blue-black hair, drag you to Beachport. fling vou down before the magistrate and say- come on, say the necessary. I want this woman bound to me so she won't be able to go out bar gaining with love." And then drag vou home ... to our home. Mi chael." Constance knew In the next moment that was what she wished he could do. All of her in dependence fled; her desire to prove herself to the world: her responsibility to the family. Even El Cabrillo was no longer home. Anyplace with Pedro would be home. He released her suddenly. Damn civilization." he snaoDcd. mounted, and waited for her. She saw then it was no longer raining. I hey rode silently down to the ranch, their horses lifting minc ing leet from the puddles; the puddles giving the gold of the sun back with doubled radiance. Constance was thinking, it a too late now. I can't sell out. I can't do anything. I'm tied for the three years. I owe that to everyone. Pedro, she rode close to him. please try to understand." Some of the sadness she had seen in his eyes, that first evening at Marias was there, disappoint ment? I am trying. Michael." he an swered. "I have been, right along. i can t understand why. if vou love me. vou don't trust me enough to tell me everything. "I won't ask vou further. As I said, it's your battle. But from now on . . . it s up to you. He leaned forward to look down into the valley. "What's going on down there ... at the ranch?" Through a break in the willows Constance saw the sun glinting down on the wet hood of a car. Don a car. Behind it was her own little coupe. Oh dear." she breathed, "it . it looks as though the family had arrived. Oh dear." she said again, and rode forward, leaving a completely puzzled Pedro, fol lowing. The Family had arrived. Con stance knew it the moment she saw Juliano's face. It was radiant He bestowed upon her a most su perior lifting of evebrows as he made the announcement. 'The Cabrillos." he said. loftily. "have come to their home ... to live." To live ... the Cabrillos. "Constance1" John Raskthorne stepped out of the door and took Constance in his arms.

By far the largest source of supply for mules and cavalry horses was the United States, which supplied the British with more than 100.000 little cow ponies from the western prairies. The British used more than 300.000 horses In an effort to catch the Boer general. De Wet. whose small force of 2,700 men was mounted on cross-bred Blach Dutch and Armenian Arab horses.
