"The campaign for an amendment to the
Pennsylvania State Constitution has been
waged and lost, and the campaign for a
national amendment Is being carried on
with vigor. It Is, In my opinion, tho psycho
logical moment to concentrate on the work
In tho national field, and to show to Con

CIIAPTRn IV (Contlnned)
AS OTHKll ranches grew under the hands
XX ot such unregenerate owners, so also
under "Old Ed" Austin's management did
Las Pnlmas Increase and prosper. Tho estate
took Its name from a natural grove bf
palms In which the house was built: It
comprised an expanse of rich river land
backed by miles of range where "Box A"
cattle lived nnd bred. In his later years
the old man sold much land, and some he
leased; but when ho handed Las Palmas
to hta son, "Young 1M," as a wedding gift,
tho ranch still remained a property to be
proud of, and one that was known far and
wide for Its alio and richness. Leaving his
boy to work out ot it a fortune for himself
and his bride, the father retired to San
Antonio, whither the friends and cronies
of his early days were drifting. There he
settled down and proceeded to finish his
allotted span exactly as suited him best.
The rancher's Ideal of nn agreeable old age
comprised threo Important items to wit.
complete leisure, unlimited freedom of
speech and two pints of rye whisky dally.
He enjoyed them all Impartially until,
about a year before this story opens, he
died profanely and comfortably. He had a
big funeral and was sincerely mourned by
a coterie ot gouty old Indian fighters.
Lnn Palmas had changed greatly since
Austin, senior, painfully scrawled his
slanting signature to the deed. It was a
different ranch now to what the old man
had known: Indeed, It was doubtful If he
would have recognized It, for even the house
was new.
Alalro had some such thought In mind
as she rode up to the gnte on the afternoon
following her departure from the water
hole, and she felt a thrill of pride at the
acres ot sprouting corn, the denso green
fields ot nlfalfa so nicely fitted between
their fences. They wore like clean, green
squares of matting spread for the feet of
summer.
A Mexican boy came running to care for
her horse, a Mexican woman greeted her
as she entered the wide, cool hall and went
to her room. Alalre had ridden far. Part
of the night had been spent at the Ballla
Lgoat ranch, the remainder ot the Journey
had been hot and dusty, and even yet she
was not wholly recoered from her experi
ence of the outward trip.
The houae servants at Las Palm&s were,
on the whole, well trained, an.d Mrs. Austin's
periodic absences excited no comment; In
the present Instance, Dolores fixed a bath
and laid out clean clothes with no more
than a running accompaniment of chatter
concerned with housohold affairs. Dolores,
Indeed, was superior to tho ordinary aer
ant; she was a woman of some managerial
ability, and she combined tho duties ot per
sonal maid with those of housekeeper. She
was a great gossip and possessed such a
talent for gaining Informatlpn that through
her husband, Benito, the range boss, she
was able to keep her mistress In fairly In
timate touch with ranch matters.
Alalre, however, was at this moment in
no mood to resume the tiresome detallB of
management; she quickly dismissed her
servitor and proceeded to revel in the luxury
of a cool bath, after which she took a nap.
Later, as she leisurely dressed herself, she
acknowledged that It was good to feel the
physical comforts of her own house, even
though her home-coming gave her no espe
cial Joy. She made It a religious practice
to dress for dinner, regardless of Ed's pres
ence, though often for weeks at a tlmo she
sat In, solitary state, presiding over an
empty table. Nevertheless, she kept to her
custom, for not only did the formality help
her to retain hor own self-respect, but it
had its Influence upon the servants. With
out companionship one needs to be ever
upon guard to retain the nice refinements
of gentle breeding, and any one who has
exercised authority In savage countries soon
learns the importance of leaving unbridged
the gulf of color and of class.
But Alalre looked forward to no lonely
dinner tonight, for Ed was at home. It
was with a grave preoccupation that she
mado herself ready to meet him.
Dolores bustled in for a second time and
straightway launched herself Into a tirade
against Juan, the horseboy.
"Dell take me If there was ever such
a shameless fellow," she cried, angrily,
"He delights Jn tormenting me, and Dlos'
he Is laxler than a snake, Work? Bah!
He abhors It All day long he snaps his
revoher and pretend to be a bandtdo, and
when he Is not risking hell's fire In that
way he Is whirling his rlata and Jumping
through it Uselcw capers! He ropes the
dog, he ropes the rose bushes, he ropes fat
Victoria, the cook, earning a huge bowl
ot hot water to scald the ants' nest. Vic
toria's rtomach Is bulled red altogether, and
so painful that when she comes near the
stove sho curses In a way to chill your
blood. What does he do this morning but
fling his wicked loop over a calf's head and
break off ono of Its llttlo horns. It was
terrible; but Senor Austin only laughed and
told him ho was a fine vaquero."
"Has Mr. Austin been here all the timer'
"Yes."
"Has he drunk much?"
"Urn m. No more than common. He Is
on the gallery now with his cocktails."
"He knows I am at homo 7"
"I told him."
Alalre went on dressing. After a little
she asked. "Hns Benito finished branding
the calet In the south pasture?"
"He finished yesterday and sent the rc
muna to tho Six Mile. Jose Sanches will
have completed the rodeo by this afternoon.
Benito rode In !at night to see you."
"By the way, jou know Jose's cousin,
Pannlor
"SI."
"Why did he leavo Las TalmasT"
Dolores hesitated so long that her mis
tress turned upon her Vith a looU of sharp
inquiry.
"He went to La Ferla, eenora." Then,
In a lowered tone; "Mr. Austin ordered It,
Suddenly, without warning, he sent him
away, though ranfllo did not wish to go.
Benito told me all about It"
"Why was he transferred? Comet What
alls our tongue, Dolores?"
"Well, I keep my eyes open and my ears,
too. I am no fool " Dolores paused
doubtfully,
"Yes, yest"
Dolores drew closer. "Bosa Morales) you
know tho girl? Her father works the big
pump englno at tho river. Well, he Is not
above anything, that man ; not above selling
his own llesh nnd blood, and tho girl Is no
better. She thinks about nothing except,
men, and she attends all the balles for miles
around, on both Bides ot the river. Panfllo
loved her; l.o was mad about her. That's
why he camo hero to work."
"They were engaged, were they not?"
"Truly, And Panfllo was Jealous ot any
man who looked at Bosa. Now you can
understand why he was sent away,"
Dolores's sharp eyes narrowed meaningly.
"Senor Ed has been riding toward the river
every day, lately. Panfllo was furious,
"I see! That Is all I care to hear."
Alone, Alalre stood motionless for some time,
her face fixed, her eyes unseeing; but
later, when she met her husband In the
dining room, her greeting was no less civil
than usual.
Ed acknowledged his wife's entrance with
a careless nod but did not trouble to re
move his hands from his pockets. As he
seated himself heavily nt the table and with
unsteady fingers shook the folds from his
napkin, he said:
"You stayed longer than ou Intended.
Um-m you were gone three days, weren't
you?"
"Four days," Alalre told him, realising
with a little Inward start how very far
apart she and Ed had drifted. She looked
at htm crulously for an Instant, wondering
if he really could be her husband, or It
he were not some peculiarly disagreeable
stranger, ,
Ed had been a handsome boy, but ma
turity had vitiated his good looks. He was
growing fat from drink and soft from idle
ness; his face was too full, his eyes too
sluggish; there was an unhealthy redness
In his cheeks. In contrast to his wife's
semi-formal dress, he was unkempt un
shaven and Boiled. He wore spurred boots
nnd a soft shirt; his nails woro grimy.
When In the city he contrived to garb
himself Immaculately; he was, in fact,
something of a dandy; but at home he
was a !oen, and openly reveled in a free
dom ot speech and a coarseness of manner
that were sad trials to Alalre. His prep
arations for dinner this evening had been
characteristically simple: he had drunk
three dry cocktails and flung his sombrero
Into a corner.
, "I've been busy while you were gone,"
he announced. "Been down to the pump
house every day laying that new Intake.
It was a nasty Job, too. I had Morales
barbequo a cabrtto for my lunch and It
was good, but I'm hungry again." Austin
attacked his meal with an enthusiasm
strange In him, for of lato his appetite had
grown as errant as his habits, Ed boasted
in his clubs that he was an outdoor man,
and he was wont to tell his friends that

Above all, say this to yourself, not ono time, but many times; "I am
going to like arithmetic and it is going to like me I"
Do this to please me, and soon you will find your lessons coming easier.

Here at last is little Bessie Carr, an

made us know
and love her a
whole great big

we ever did be

I cannot go very far without mother, I am

and living all I can out In the open. I
cannot go to school, but I love study and
books, and I read as much as mother will
allow, I read aloud to mother,"
"I want to tell you about a funny spider,
I watched him spin his web on our front
porch Just at twilight. Next morning
mother called me to see his web. It was
spun from the porch to the cosmos and
way over to the btrdhouse In the yard, it
was over fifty feet long and looked like a
telephone. Mother told me all about how
hard the spider worked. When we came

Mother said that Just because she praised
Mr, Spider's telephone system, ha needn't

"Mother and I went for a long Walk one
day last week ; we went to a cranberry bog
to watch the pickers. While mother sat
under a tree and crocheted, I ran around
and picked flowers and got a drink from
the brook."

the rough life was the life for him; but
as a matter of fact he spent much more
time In San Antonio than he did at home,
nnd each of his sojourns at Las Palmas
was devoted principally to sobering up from
his last visit lo the city nnd to preparing
for another. Nor was ho always sober
een In his own house; Ed was a heavy
and a constant drinker at all times. What
little exercise he took was upon the back
of a horse, and, ns no one knew better
than his wife, the physical powers he once,
had were rapidly, deteriorating.
By and by he Inquired vaguely; "Lets
e. Where did you go this time?"
"t went up to look over that 'ignaclo
trnct"
"Oh yes. How did you find It?"
"Not very promising. It needs a lot ot
wells."
"I haven't been out that way since I
was a boy. Think you'll lease It?"
"I don't know. I mint And some placo
for those La Ferla cattle."
Austin shook his head. "Better leave
em where they are Until the rebels tako
that country. I stand mighty well with
'That's the trouble." Alalre told him.
"You stand too cll so well thnt I want
to get my stock out of Federal territory
as soon as possible."
Ed shrugged carelessly. "Suit yourself:
they're your cows"
Tho meal went on with a, desultory flow
of small talk, during which tho husband
Indulged his thirst freely. Alalro told him
about tho accident to her horse and tho
unpleasant ordeal sho had suffered In
the mcsqulte.
"Lucky you found somebody at the water
hole," Ed commented, "Who was this
Banger? Never heard of the fellow," he
commented on the name. 'The Bangers aro
nothing llko they used to be."
'This fellow would do credit to any or
ganisation." As Alalre described how ex
peditiously Law had made his arrest and
handled his man, her husband showed in
terest. "Nicolas Anto. eh?" said he. "Who was
his companoro?"
"Pandlo Sanchex."
Ed started. 'That's strange ! They must
have met accidentally."
"So they both declared. Why did you
let Panfllo go?"
"We didn't need him here, nnd he was
too good a man to lose, so " Ed found
his wife's eyes fixed upon him and dropped
his own.
"I knew you were short-handed at La
Ferla." There was nn Interval of silence,
then Ed exclaimed, testily, "What are you
looking nt?"
"I wondered whnt you'd say."
"Eh? Can't I Are a man without a
long-winded explanation?" Something in
Alalfe's expression warned him of her bus.
plctbn; therefore ho took refuge behind an
assumption of anger. "My Cod! Don't
I hac a word to soy about my own ranch?
Just because I've let you run things to suit
yourself "
'Walt I We had our understanding."
Alalre's voice was low and vibrant. "It
wob my payment for living with you, and
you know It. You gave me the reins to
Lns Palmas so that I'd have something to
do, something to live for and think about,
except your actions. The ranch has
doubled In value, every penny is accounted
for, and you have more money to spend on
yourself than ever before. You have no
reason to complain."
Austin crushed his napkin Into a ball and
flung It from him; with a scowl he shoved
himself back from tho table,
"It was an ldlotla arrangement. Just tha
same. I agreed because I was sick. Dad
thought I was all shot to pieces. But I'm
alt right now and able to run my own busi
ness." "Nevertheless, It was a bargain, and it
will stand. If your father were alUe he'd
make you live up to It."
"Hell I You talk as if I wore a child."
shouted her husband : and hln plump face
was apoplectic with rage. 'The title is in
my name. How could he make me do
anything?" v
"Nobody could force you," his wife said,
quietly. "You are still enough of a man
to keep your word, I believe, so long as I
observe my part of our bargain?"
Ed, slightly mollified, agreed. "Of course
I am: I never welched. But I won't bo
treated as an Incompetent, and I'm tired of
these eternal wrangles and Jangles."
"You have welched."
,"Eh?" Austin frowned belligerently.
"You agreed to go away when you felt
your appetite coming on, and you prom
ised to live clean, at least around home."
"Well?"
"Have you done it?"
"Certainly. I never said I'd cut out the
booze entirely."
"What nbout your carousals nt Browns
ville?" Austin subsided sullenly, "Other men
have got full In Drownsvllle."
"No doubt. But you made a scandal.
You have been seen with women, In a
good many places where we aro known."
"Bah! There's nothing to it,"
Alalre went on In a lifeless tone that
covered the seething emotions within her.
"I never Inquire Into your actions at San
Antonio or other large cities, although of
course I have ears and can't help hearing
about them ; but these border towns are
home to us, and people know me. I won't
be humiliated more than I am; publlo pity
Is hard enough to bear. I've about
reached the breaking point."
"Indeed?" Austin leaned forward, his
eyes inflamed. Ills tone was raised, heed
less of possible eavesdroppers. 'Then why
don't you end It? Why don't you divorce
me? Cod knows I never see anything ot
you. You have your part of the house and
I have mine; all wo share In common Is
meal hours, and and a mail address.
You're about as much wife as Dolores Is."
Alalre turned upon him eyea dark with
mfeery. "You know why I start dlvotte';
you. No. Ed, we're ganar to lta am aV''
agreement, and theae IkrawrmvVIe aytaaeTssj '
aro going to ceaae." Jttr lhe wAltenasL
"So are your viatta t the jntmalaa; sta
tion." "What do you mean br (bait"
"You transferred Panfllo beeatus ha waa
growing Jealous ot you aad Xa."
Ed burst Into sudden Urarnter. "Ctaeat
Lord! Thero'a no harm In a little flirta
tion, rtoaa's a pretty girt."
His wife uttered a breathless, smather
ed exclamation: her hands, as they lay
on the tablecloth, were tightly ehitcfced
"She'n your tenant almost your set-ran.
What kind of a man aro you? llareert
you any decency left?"
"Sayl do easyl I guess I'm no different
to most men " Austin's unpleasant laughter
had been succeeded by a still moro un
pleasant scowl. "I have to do somethlnr.
t's dead enough around here"
iou must stop going- mere."
"Humph! I notice you go where you
please. Bosa and I never spent a night
together in the chaparral "
"Ed!" Alalre's exclamation was Ilka the
snap of a whip. She rose and faced her
husband, quivering as If the lash had stung
her flesh.
"That went home, eh? Well, I'm noi
fool! I've teen something of the world,
and I've found that women are about like
men. I'd llko to have a look nt this David
Law, this gunman, this Handsome Harry
who waits at water holes for ladles in
distress." Ed Ignored his wife's outflung
hand, and continued, mockingly: "I'll bet
he's all that's manly nnd splendid,
everything that I'm not."
"You'd better stop," gasped the woman.
"I can't stand everything."
"So? Well, neither can I."
"After this, I think you'd belter go
to San Antonio. Maybe I'll forget before
you come back."
To this "Young Ed" agreed quickly '
enough. "Cood!" said he. "That sulta me.
It's hell around Las Palmas, anyhow, and
I'll at least get a llttlo peace at my club."
He glowered after his wlfo as she left the
room. Then, still scowling, he lurched out
to the gallery where the breexe was blow
ing, nnd flung himself Into a chair.
Complete Isolation, of course, Alalre had
found to be Impossible, even though her
ranch lay far from the traveled roads and
her Mexican guards were not encouraging
to vsltors. Business Inevitably brought
her into contact with a considerable num
ber ot people, and ot these the one she saw
most frequently waa Judge Ellsworth of
Brownsville, her attorney.
It was perhaps a week after Ed had left
for San Antonio that Alalre felt the need
of Ellsworth's counsel, and sent for him.
Ho responded promptly, an always. Ells
worth was a kindly man of flfty-flve, with
a forceful chin and a drooping, heavy-lidded
eye that could either blaxe or twlnklo. Ha
was fond ot Alalre, and his sympathy,
like his understanding, waa ot that word
less yet comprehenslvo kind which Is most
satisfying. Judge Ellsworth knew mora
than any four men In that part ot Texas; '
information had a way of seeding him out.
and his head was stored to repletion with
facts of every variety. He was a good
lawyer, too, and yet his knowledgo of the
law comprised but a small part ot that
mental wealth upon which he prided him
Belt. He knew human nature, and that
he considered far more Important than law.
His mind was like a full granary, and
every grain lay where ho could put his
hand upon it
He motored out from Brownsville, and,
after ridding himself of dust, insisted Upon
spending the Interval before dinner in an
Inspection of Atalro'a latest ranch improve
ments. He had a fatherly way of walking
with his arm about Alalre's shoulders, and
although she sometimes suspected that his
warmth of good-fellowship was merely a
habit cultivated through political neces
sities, nevertheless it was comforting, and
she took it at Its face value.
Not until the dinner waa over did Ells
worth Inquire tho reason for his summons.
"It's about La Ferla. General Longorlo
has confiscated my stock," Alalro told him.
Ellsworth started. "Longorlo I That's
bad."
