Chapter 28
Tour Of The Ranch
C5NSTANCE mapped her eyes
and her nose and looked up
with a watery smile. "Guest you
won't have much confidence in
my business ability after this
scene, will you?"
"Hrrrumph," (runted Peter
Taylor, "Never did have sny un
til now."
Shocked to alertness, Constance
looked at him. John had said the
older Taylor expected her to fail.
Somehow this substantiation of
John's power of discernment
faded before his other prophecy.
that Young Taylor would take the
easier route. And Pedro was now
out riding with Donna. And
Donna was riding Pancho.
Constance forgot everything
else. "About Pancho. ahe
minded Taylor.
"Er-a-yes, about Pancho, write
me a check for nine nunarea ana
he's yours.
Constance gasped at the price,
but wrote the check and accepted
the receipt and watched Taylor
enter the sale in his book. She
wondered why she felt such ten
derness for that huge old. gray
head . . . when it held thoughts
of taking advantage of her fail
ure. She couldn't trust herself
further. She clutched the receipt
in her hand and raced down the
hill. Pancho was hers, all hers,
the only thing in the world that
was hers, all hera . . . unless it
might be John ... he was waiting
for her.
And he was laughing.
Constance heard a vibrant
neigh. She looked across the
firove. Pancho. riderless, was
sughing. And coming into the
stable yard was Pedro, leading
Midnight. And on Midnight was
the bedraggled ngure 01 uonna:
Donna, mud-caked, hair hanging
in wet straggles, a pitiful figure
of woe.
Constance ran to her anxiously.
Her little sister, thrown, while
she, Constance, had been trying to
deprive her of the mount she
wanted.
Tenderly Constance helped
Donna from Midnight Donna
didn't look at her, she was look
ing at Pedro; and Pedro. Con
stance knew from months of as
sociation, was shaking with
laughter.
"I'm awfully glad you hap
pened along just then," Donna
was murmuring in dulcet tones.
"Intimating it wasn't a date?"
asked Pedro, with a side glance
for Constance. "Next time, let me
know when you want to ride and
I'll find a horse that isn't a one
woman mount."
Constance caught one glance of
her old, dear Pedro in the look
he gave her, then he swung onto
Midnight's saddle and rode out.
And Donna turned on her. "You
put him up to that. You have
trained him to throw anyone
else, she shrilled.
Constance looked up at the
willows. A great cloud had
rolled from her spirit She
wanted to laugh, to throw her
arms wide at the audden feeling
of relief. It meant there waa
still a fighting charce to save
everything dear to ner.
"But I'm going to ride that
horse," Donna went on, her
voice shaking with anger. I'll
have Don break him for me;
and when Don gels through
with him, he'll be broken."
Mincing, swishing his tail and
mane, Pancho came across the
grove to Constance, like a child
confident of having performed
a cute trick which would be
duly rewarded.
"Donna," Constance faced her
sister, "you said this morning
that I didn't own Pancho any
more than any of the rest of
you. I do. I've bought and paid
for him and here is the receipt
Now keep off."
Donna looked at Constance,
then looked at John. "Nice en
gagement present," the ob
served, and ran away, her boot
beels tapping the patio floor.
So Involved
CONSTANCE dug in her sweater
pocket for a lump of sugar,
patted Pancho's nose and turned
him over to the stableboy, then
stopped Inside the patio with
John.
"What she needs," stated John,
"Is to be turned over someone's
knee and treated with the sole
of a slipper."
"Whose knee and what slip
per?" asked Constance wearily.
"Mother won't; there's no one
else but me and, after all, I'm
only two years older than she
. . and Don."
But she waa so Involved In
their affairs. She wondered if
that was what Peter Taylor had
meant, that she couldn't succeed
with the dead weight of the Ca
bnllos about her shoulders, and
that the purchase of Pancho was
the first indication she had shown
of cutting herself off from this
Wright and traveling on her own.
She would talk to John imme
diately. She would not tell him of
Pedro. The wound Pedro's dis
trust had left was too deep; it
was a dull aching pain her nope
could not surmount. Enough to
tell John he must not count on
her marrying him at anv time
But Nadine Cabrillo was in the
ratio. John, Juliano, Juamta and
Dolores were called into service
They would lunch there, and j
surely Constance would change. :
"Mother." stated Constance1

time to change clothes a dozen
times a day. If I offend you, then
I'll take my meals elsewhere
Now please excuse me."
She ordered a tray sent to her
office, then burrowed into the re
ports which had come in that
morning. She didn't dare get be
hind. Saturday the railroad would
be open: the dairy car put intc
operation, and Pedersen woulc
return from the south with thr
last of the herds; great cattle can
of herds to file into the waitins
barns. By Monday the ranch
would be running full blast
John looked in once and teeint
her working, went away without
speaking.
Again Constance bent her head
over figures. They were hearten
ing. If the new herds produced
with a respective amount of milk
and cream, El Cabrillo would pull
through in time.
Figures, she thought, were de
nenHahle., Fieurps and cows and

you couldn't confine in column
. . . and if you did, it seemed
that they slipped into the debit
side.
Her work completed, Constance
lighted a cigaret and tipped back
in her chair. If only there were
some way to buy the ranch as she
had bought Pancho. She'd be
willing, eager to give the Ca
brillos their share of the income
. . . providing she could run the
place without interference from
them.
If there were only" . . . some
way.
There wasn't. She was handi
capped. But Michael Mahoney
had fought through with more
handicaps than she had.
'Through for the day, Con
chita?" John stood at the door. Con
stance looked at him in wonder
He was in riding breeches and
boots: a dull blue polo shirt in
tensified the blue of his eyes.
"Through until the evening re
ports." she answered. "I let them
go Inst night and that Isn't wise."
"Then . , . then you'll go riding
with me? I'd like to see the
ranch."
I've Wronged You'
HER first thought was one of
relief. They could talk while
they were riding. She could tell
John what she'd been wanting to
tell him. Her next thought was
one of consternation. John was
riding again.
He had come In. was standing
before her desk looking down at
her with an expression totally
foreign to him, hesitant appeal
ing. Defeated and sympathetic, the
nodded. She wouldn't be able to
talk freely this trip. John who
had loved horses and who hadn't
been near one since he'd put the
death-dealing shot into the favor
ite which had killed his father,
was about to break his vow . .
for her.
"I'll change."
She swung her feet to the flool
and hurried to her room, trying
to close her mind to the memory
of that tragic day; the horss
writhing in pain; Mr. Rask
thome's brow wet as he tried to
keep his agony from his son: and
John, anguish etched on his face,
drawing a revolver to put an end
to the suffering of one and to
wait with the other until death
carried him into peace.
Constance tossed her first
choice of a sweater aside. She
had worn a pink hunting coat
that day. She'd wear white now.
There must be nothing to strike
the flint of memory.
Constance joined John In the
yard and found Pancho and an
other horse saddled.
'Let's go to the ton and work
back," she said as she swung into
the saddle. "Come on!" She rode
olf, and in a moment heard John's
horse behind her.
She Inoked back. Even Pedro
could ride no bettor. She flushed
with pride, as she had flushed to
long ago when she, a comparative
nonentity, had waited between
chukkcra for the ten goal man
to ride up and smile for her alone.
Kesolutely she skirted the soots
made dear to her by Pedro. When
they came out on a summit it
was f.ir from the boulder peak.
But El Cabrillo lay below them,
its inland valleys one mosaic pat
tern of beauty. And when they
turned, the western slope waj
rich with beauty.
thita, John pulled In close
to her. "I've wronged you. I
didn't believe a person could love
land enough to long to possess it
as you long to possess El Ca
brillo. I'm beginning to under
stand." Constance I m 1 1 e d at him.
"Look, John, see the half-moon
it makes, jutting out to sea. No
tice the coves; and now look at
the highway, like bandeau on
the hair of a beauteous blonde
. . . John, can you imagine that
cut up; pink stucco and log-and-stone
monstrosities every half
mile?' John ttarrd down at the scene
In the stillness faint sounds
reached them, the plaintive low
ing of cattle, the bnrk of a dog.
the sound of a motor.
He reached for Constance's
hand. "We'll keen it In one piece.
Chita." he promise,!.
His horse shied as a silver-gray
squirrel scurried before it, seek
ing the shelter of stub pine, and
John rose with the horse,
wheeled and came hack smiling.
"Oh. it's good tn be in a saddle
again. Dad would like it."
"Let's look at the barns," tug
Rested Constance quickly and
nnle ahead And in her mind she
was repeating his words: "We'll
keep it in one piece."
