The Blue Black hair of Tho girl made More rigid Tho Ripe color in her Olive tinted Cheeks. Her deep Lustrous eyes had in them that Holt pained half pathetic sex of scion Peculiar to the eyes of the Span ish girls of the South. Yet Juana Kiev. Little of sorrow. Tho old rancher s Only Hugh Ter she Hod lived n petted life. She was a simple hearted child and we Atenci capacity for endurance or courage Lay with in her it had never been tried. After a series of vigorous pats bestowed with Many a cooing Spanish phrase of endearment upon her favorite Juana produced a Rosy a Polo from her pocket Wloch Pedro munched with evident satisfaction she had cot come to ask any service of Only for n morning greeting and now after a Ling eng Farewell put or she left the pretty Mustang looking Over the Gate after her and turned to the Steep walk again. She stepped carefully for fear of trend to too heavily on the crumbling san Adobe and getting a Tumble her Light feet made hardly a sound to to noticed among the noises of the country i reluctant return from the Gate to his Graz big Fellows the other sounds from the Pas Ture Tho twittering of Birds the Chir Jinp of squirrels the thousandfold murmur ind breath of the hour. Half Way Down Tho Steps stopped and Donly and the girl stood with a startled face listening. Only i Ceu ear and a Quick attention crud have caught above ill those other that singular and unusual Cue for my i n place and the Hiss of Whiser voices. Father s was the one word she had caught and half in curiosity Ball Lifear she Felt she must know Why her father s whispered Ivimey should thus de Tach itself from Tho Rustle of leaves to strike her ear and Call her attention to the murmur going on in the Little clump. She leaned silently Forward on the Odic Oltha hazy screen of live Oaks every nerve a passionate Resolution Rose within Fiji mind. It should not Bel it had not happened should not. Some one must prevent it yet there was to one but her self to do it. By the time she stepped firmly onco More upon the Garden path her mind was made up. She knew the uselessness of Appeal to her father. She had no confidante among the women of the ranch to whom she dared to breathe such a secret. All the Long slow Day it seemed eating her very soul ont. All her Sweet old time Confidence in her father was gone and when from time to time As was his demonstrative Spanish Way with his pretty daughter he Drew her to him with caresses Ahe could respond with no joyousness. At last the Long Day came to a close. The evening meal was ended the after sep per work was done. Juana came out from the House into the Broad porch guitar in hand crossed the porch quietly and seated her self on the Stone step As she had sat before evening after evening. She Sang the pretty Spanish airs she was accustomed to sing to her own accompaniment and though sometimes her voice grew very faint As the sick dread of what was before her swept across her mind she persevered und with a heavy heart entertained the Little household. They had All gathered upon Tho Long porch As was their evening Cus Tom her father was wont to sic by her Side smoking and listening and now and then Between his cigarettes making her Happy with his easy phrases of Praise. But this evening to soon Rose and left her joined the group of ranch hands in a dark Corner of the doorway Anft undercover of Junna s songs exchanged murmured question and answer with them. The Gray Twilight deepened into night. Soon the Moon arose Over the Eastern mountains casting on everything such a flood of yellow Light As Only California knows. The somber group in the Corner had relapsed into a Moody silence. Juana s guitar Sank into her Lap and the was broken Only by the sound of crickets and Tho cry from time to time of a night Hawk flying across the Orchard. The girl was watching Tho Moon creep up the sky and counting the minutes As she had already counted them Over and Over daring the Day. Her breath caught in her Throat but she Rose silently and carried her guitar into the House. As she passed her father she paused. The Moon is so Bright she said i would go out for a Little Lope with she had Ceu permitted More than once before to ride thus about Tho ranch lanes or for a abort distance along the Safe Leigh Horing Road on Bright Moonlight even Ings. Indeed her father never interfered much with her movements and their simple ranch life not unaffected by Amer ican customs was free from strict rules. On the outskirts Oft Cranch. A moment then gathering tightly in her left hand she be to climb the Trail Sho Toofic it is oot languor or delay her Strong Yong moving upward with scarcely a for breath till she reached the top. An old Fence bounded the Hill Pas to Jana s father. Sho Flea herself lightly against Tho mrs of the rest and to gaze upon Tho scene East the Long Dusty Road was flanked by ranches More or less cultivated. Hen and there symmetrical rows of Beans it the Eye. Olive Trees mingled with scattered every where. Occa Tang lev Ted tiled Adobe relieved Tho to re Tojay of Opal pasture lands and Fields Hultaj with Oaks and yellow with the Blos soms of the Golden Mustard. Pm the Foothills Roso precipitately the role mountains whose crests Are often wiled Frith Clouds of feathery Ornist. A fair Hod and dear to the rancher s daughter Tarn her Babyhood the place of her birth ind of her people before her. Yet to any one else who Hud been there the most pict Roque thing would not have been the out j spread landscape but the Young Spanish i tue leu i co. Earl leaning on the worn Gate to look at it nodded without removing his Cigar she turned now and began a series of Otte and the passed on. She put away her guitar twisted a Scarf Over her head and let herself out at Tho Hack door carrying her Briddle in her a Little relieved by the possibility of action and the removal of need for self restraint she hastened at a rapid Pace up the path she bad trodden Early that morning a Light hearted and unsuspecting child to visit and pet her favorite. She reached the old Fence and whistled clearly across the Moonlit pasture once and again and presently Pedro came Trot Ting to her. With trembling hands she undid the Hay rope and pushed open the Gate and the Little horse walked through knowing Well enough that she wanted him. She fastened the Gate with mechanical care then putting one hand lightly on Pedro s mane she quickly and j listed the bridle scrambled to his Ohe had been on Pedro s Back without a Saddle too often to waste time now in arranging any such started. In a few minutes she reached a Road that skirted the base of the Hill then leaning Forward on Pedro s neck she spoke to him und Shook the bridle and sent him flying Down the Road at his Best Speed. Breathlessly the girl watched Tho Trees Fly by. Tho Road followed Tho Hills for half i mile before it struck a crossroad. Al ready Juana knew the men were at their Post below the spot where the stage Road touched her father s ranch. A fearless rider at All times she seemed utterly so now As without drawing rein she wheeled into Tho to user. And imperfect old crossroad and dashed Down it. It was Only used by a ams in Winter and was kept in no order nit the Little Mustang took his Way swiftly and surely Over the unyielding ruts of hardened Adobe and halt buried boulders. After what seemed to Juana an interminable time the reckless pair reached the Dusty stage Road safely. Here they turned ind cantered easily up the Road to meet the oncoming stage no sign of which yet appeared. Juana gazed eagerly before her watching for the expected Cloud of dust but they had cantered on a Milo and a half without adventure before it appeared and Pedro came to a full Stop to await it. The dust moved Down upon the waiting pair by the Road aide and As it came near Juana saw that it enclosed not the stage hut Only a Spanish family returning from .1 Day s marketing in Santa Barbara. In rhe Dusty Moonlight they seemed almost weird in their picturesqueness. The whole a noisy was in the Long Wagon from the strained to catch the half whispered half ,.onngwoman in Gay Bonnet Down through murmured words that Rose from within j ragged smaller members to the ugly Little the screen though it offered no percept j with his shrill bark and con to Fate Barrier to sound was quite dense j Tail is indispensable to the enough to protect Tho girl from sight of j Spanish household. together behind Tho toiled Pusti and cauda looked again up the Road from which Tho dust slowly cleared away. Her heart almost stopped As the fear shot across her that Sho had miscalculated the time. If she had missed the stage by now her father a branded forever n criminal their uti Ine was shamed whether the world Ever knew it or not. Suddenly she uttered a Joyful exclamation for around the Bend in the Road appeared the this time through the Cloud of loaded with people. The Driver reined in his horses suddenly at Jauw s violent be stipulations to Stop so suddenly indeed that they were dragged Back upon their stared with amazement at the girl and the horse. The passengers startled at the abrupt stoppage broke into questions Jid ejaculations As they recovered their balance and leaned out to hear what was said. Juana shrank Back abashed at so Large an audience Sefc she was too desperately set in her purpose to hesitate in her speech. In her fluent English touched with the accent the child keeps who Speaks another language at Home she poured out her Sto the real Story perhaps. Juana s ethical training did not include the also into necessity of a rigid one that served its purpose of warning As Well and gave the Driver no room to suspect either her father or his ranch of them Well known characters in Carpon Teteria. It made a company. As soon As she ceased one and another of the women cried out that they o. Yet she could not go without knowing Bow things turned out she had not much fear of Eer Fons results now the Driver was on Hia Gnand for she knew a show of Force and preparation would scatter the half Breedaw still less did she fear that any of the con federates won id be captured amid their familiar Fields and the world. Nevertheless the misgiving that some one might possibly be Hurt Drew her on after the stage. She cantered along behind it until it had passed an old Walnut tree not far beyond which was the place of ambush. Nearer to the concealed group of men than this tree she dared not go for not a Man stand ing concealed id the dark spot beyond would have failed to know at a glance the girlish figure on the familiar Little mus Tang. So she Drew rein in the shadows of the Walnut and sat and watched the stage As it rapidly decreased the distance Between itself and the fatal spot. From the place where Pedro stood tin seen herself she could clearly see that spot. She knew just where the men must be what their positions must be Juan s and Domingo s and just what signal would be Given and what move would to made. The stage bore Down upon the was almost Sharp crack of the whip Cleft the air and reached the girl s ears and the stage lunged More swiftly Forward into the Shadow. The girl leaned Forward with strained eyes and ears. Would that sudden resist less dash carry them past then came several Quick confused shoots and then a pistol shot followed by a Long Low cry of agony and despair. Then the stage stopped. The Moonlit air grew Black to the girl and she cried out herself with a piercing shriek All thought of self control lost in her passionate Spanish soul. She knew it was her father s voice and even Detoro the Road cleared to her eyes she Shook the reins and Clung blindly to Pedro s Back As he flew Over the ground toward the huddle of stage and men. The horse checked himself abruptly trembling a Little As he came upon the excited group. The men who stood about something on the ground wheeled sharply to look As he dashed Down upon them. They Cost weird shadows in the Clear Moon Light As they stepped Forward and stopped recognizing the girl and looking at hoi with More amazement than before As she Slid Down from the horse and without pay ing any attention to them staggered across the Moonlit space dropped Down beside Tho prostrate figure und put her arms about it. The old Man Lay stretched out in the dimness Between the Moon and shadowed place of ambush where they had carried him und Laid him with his head on a loosely rolled horse Blanket. His eyes were closed and the blood trickled from a wound in his left shoulder making an ugly red track in the soft White dust. Tha half Breeds were nowhere to to must have shrunk Back and scattered away across the Fields at the first sign of resistance. The men standing about Drew away half respecting the girl s despair half eager to Tell their Story to the women who waited frightened yet full of curios Ity in the stage. Only the Driver stood close by to enforce his claims on the Rob Ber s Pei son lest Juan a should dispute at once now he had seen old Pablo s face How much the girl had concealed and guessing her relation ship to the rancher. Pablo was not dead. Duaim looked up and As she univ the Man standing grimly by it flashed across her what he was there for and the whole sequence of prison and shame crowded from her mind by the More imminent fear of death Rose up be fore her. With a dry tearless sob and a passionate movement of despair she sprang up and Flung herself before the Man breaking into wild pleading. Leave him with she cried. Leave him with me you Are no one is Tho worse Why must you take him what Good give him to not con vey him to prison. He is an old in Fin. See his Gray hair and the blood. He is Hurt Himl you shall have Gold All Yon want there is no one but me and i care not if there is nothing left for me but leave my the Driver was not a hard Man and the girl s piteous voice and pathetic eyes moved him nor was to possessed of so rigid n sense of civic responsibility As to make him think that it was Bis duty to resist her. The Gray hair that Juana appealed to brought to his mind his own Gray haired father. Be looked at her and at the robber and turning around left her kneeling in the dust and walked away without a word a minute More and the stage had resolved it self into a Cloud of dust fast disappearing Down the dim stretch of in Bois in Overland monthly.
