something to say to you. You will drUe
me to the river, and my horse will remain
here until I return fdr htm."
There was no mistaking the comwnnd
In Longorlo's tone; the master of Lns
Pnlmns rose ns If under compulsion. He
took his hat and the two men left the
room.
"Oh, my Ood 1" Raloma gnsped. "They'll
be In time, and so will the Lowls gang."
"Quick I Kd will take hlu runabout
we'll follow In my car." Alalre tied to
mnke herself ready. A few moments late?
she looked out from her window and saw
the headlights of Ed's runabout flash down
the drheway to the road: then she and
Paloma rushed to tho garago where the
taurine car stood.
'They'll never expect us to follow them"
Alalre Jrled to speak hopefully "and
we'll drive without lights. Maybe we'll
get there In time, after all." As the
machine rolled out through the gate she
elaborated tho half-formed plan that had
come to her: "The brush la thick along
the river: we can leave the car hidden
and steal up to the pump house. When we
hear tho boat coming maybe we can call
out In time to warn your father."
Tho moon Is rising." Paloma half sobbed.
"They'll be sure to see us. Do you thlnlf
wo're ahead of Tad Lewis?"
"Oh yes. He hasn't had tlmo to get here
yet. but he'll come fast when he starts.
This hi the only plan I can think of.
Alalra drove as swiftly as she dared,
following the blurred streak of gray that
was the road and taking the bumps with
utter recklessness. Already the yellow rim
of the moon was peering over the horlson
to her right, and by Its light she found the
road that turned abruptly toward the Rio
drande, a- mile or more distant. Tho blaok
mud from the last heavy rain had hard
ened; ths ruts In this side road were
deep, nnd the car leaped and ptunged, Hing
ing Its occupants from side to side. Ahead
loomed the dark ridge of the river thickets,
a dense rampart of mesqulte, ebony and
coma, with hero and there a taller alamo
or hackberry thrusting Itself skyward. Rut
even before they were sheltered from the
moonlight Paloma saw the lights of an
other automobile approaching along the
.in kiehwnv behind them the I lent.
vMantiv. of Tad Lewis's machine. A
tr.nm.nt inter Alnlre's car drove Into the
black shadows, but, fearing to switch on
her headlights, she felt her way cautiously
between the walla of foliage until at her
right another opening showed, like a nar.
row nrroyo, diverging from the one they
followed. Into this she swerved, regardless
of the fact that It waa half grown up with
brush. Thorny branches swept the sides
of tha machine: rank, dew-soaked grass
.. n h hslcht of the tonneau. The
car came to a Jolting pauso, then the motor
ceased Its purring and the two women sat
motionless, listening ior mo rauio oww

partsl therefore, when tho leafy canyon
walls behind her hiding place were bril
liantly Illuminated and a car stole silently
past at low speed, she seised Paloma by
the arm and whispered:
That's not Lewis."
'Who Is ItT It can't be Ed "
"No he and Longorlo are ahead of us.
It's another motor entirely."
The women got out, then breasted the
high grass and brambles between the hid
ing place and tho pump-lioue road, As
soon as they were back In the trail they
made all possible speed, speculating mean
while upon the mystery of the unknown
car. Emerging Into the clearing which
surrounded the power plant, they discov
ered the machine In question standing dark
and deserted In the shadows. Evidently the
driver, whoever hje was, well knew what he
was about, and -had not blundered upon
this place f accident, A hundred yards
away they could new see ths ghostly Rio
Grande. Its saffron surfaae faintly slivered
by the low moon; lights gleamed from the
windows ot Moralee's house. In the dls
tanse the vague outlines ot the Mexican
shore were resolving themselves, and far
beyond winked the evidence that some

Hgatlon ditch, and In the shadow of these
the women worked their way forward, un
obBrred. They had nenrly reached their
goal when out Into tho clearing behind
them, with mctnlllo rattle nnd clang, burst
nnothcr automobile, and Paloma whispered,
There's tho Lonls outfit at last."
In tho Lowls car were several men. They
descended hurriedly, and when ono of them
ran around tho front of the car to turn oft
its lights both women saw that he carried
a rifle. Rvldently Tod Lewis had come
prcpnred for desperate measures.
A small door ga.e entranco to the boiler
room, and Into the lock of this Mrs. Austin

Ialomn. wero safely Insldo. They found
themselves In utter darkness now, with a
smooth brick floor beneath their feet and a
strong odor of oil and burnt fuel In their
nostrils.
Alalre was agreeably surprised In Paloma
Jones, for. although tho girl was wrought
to a pitch of hysterical excitement, she
had. nevertheless, retained her wits; nor
had she faltered In the slightest It was
evident that the fighting blood In her father
was nrousod In her. for she said, calmly;
"When It gets light crough to shoot, I'm
going to get Tnd Lewis."
"Don't net too quickly," cautioned Alalre.
Perhaps your father nnd Davo have come
and gone. Anyway, we can warn them
Just as well by thing Into the air."
In reply to this suggestion Paloma merely
muttered something under her breath.
The brief night ride had given Alalre
tlmo In which to recover from her nrat ap
prehensions, and now she was surprised nt
her own coolness. Kd'a behavior had
shocked and horrified her; she was still
half paralyzed at his treachery; nnvortho
Icsi, her mind was clear, and she was deter
mined to avert a tragedy If possible. She
khew only too welt what weus Wppen
when Rlate Jones nnd Dave Law en
counlered the Leuls gang, the presence ot
Longorlo's soldiers merely mado more ter
tn n the outcome of that meeting. Tho
general was furious, It was plain that he
would not tolerate this expedition, the
avowed purpose of which was to prove hint
a liar.
It would make but little difference, there
fore, whether the quest for Rleardo Ous
man's body had been successful or not!
even the fact that this was American soil
would not deter Longorlo from violent no
tion, for the Rio Grande was no real bound
aiy, and this part of Texas was as truly
Muxlean ns that other river bank which lay
J()0 yards distant
A oonfu-lon of such thoughts was racing
thiough Alnlre's mind as she felt her way
out of the boiler room and Into that part
of the building where the pumping machin
ery stood. Dusty, cobwebbed windows let
In a faint ghost-glow of moonlight, but pre
vented clear observation of anything out
side. Alalre's fumbling fingers found the
If tch of the front door and began to lift It,
when some one spoke Just outside the build
ing. "What did you discovert" Inquired a
voice which neltner woman recognised, Pa
loma clutched blindly for her companion J
the two eavesdroppers stood rooted In their
tracks. The pounding of their hearts
sounded loudly. 81nce the building was lit
tle more than a wooden shell, they could
hear the answer:
The house Is full of Greasers. I cant
tell who they nre."
A third man spoke, this tlmo In Spanish.
'That was Tad Lewis who Just came,
ser.or."
Paloma placed her lips close to Alalre a
ear. "Who are those people?" sho breathed.
"I dont know. They muat ba the ones
who came In that strange automobile."
Paloma chattered viciously: "Kverybody
In Texas Is here I wish we'd thought to
scatter tacks behind us."
Cautiously they swung the door back and
looked out. The open space along the river
bank was lceled by the moonlight From
Morales's house, to their right, came tho
sound ot Voices. The women waited.
A few moments, then a number of men
aipcnred. Paloma judged there were at
least a tloxen, but sue wss too excucu u
count them. As they came straggling to
wnrd tho pump house one of them called
beck :
"Morales I Put out your damned lights."
Both women recognised Tad Lewlj as the
speaker.
Alalre had stubbornly refused to charge
her husband with any active sharo In this
pvll business, but her faith In Ed suddenly
venlshed when she heard him say:
"Hush I You're making too much noise.
You'd better scatter out, too, for there s no
telling whero thoy'U land." Alalre leaned
weakly against tho door. "I'm going to
leave nnd let you all attend to the reJst.
he was saying. But Tad Lewis halted him
as ho turned from the group.
"Whero nre you going, Edt You lert
vnnr car hnrk vonder bv the road. I al
most ran Into It"
"i:h? What aro you talking about? My
car M over by Morales's house."
"Senor Austin Is In a great hurry,"
sneered some one In Spanish "Once moro
hu lcaips all of the fighting to his friends.
That's Adolfo Urblna." panted raloma.
"1 know him." Stung by this open charge
of cowardice, Austin began a voluble de
fense, but In the midst of It General Longo
rlo addressed him sharply:
"You will stny here, senor. Nobody leaves
this place."
"I told you I wouldn't be a parly to tha
business," Ed declared hotly. "You forced
m' to come In the first place "
'Yes I And now I force you to stay."
Longorlo's stand appeared to please
Lewis, who chimed In with the words
That's right. Ed You've got to stick, for
nrif-A In vnnr llfo"
"What do you mean, you nearly ran Into
my car back yonder?" Austin asked, after
a moment
Ain't that younjsnachtno yonder by tne
thicket?" InqulredLewIs. "If It ain't,
whose Is It?" As no one answered he
started In the direction he had Indicated;
but nt thnt moment a man came running
from the river bank, crying softly:
"Look outl They come."
'I'm going to shoot," raloma Jones
gnsped, but Alalro, who onco ngaln henrd
the sound of whispering In tho shadows
Just outside their hiding place, managed
to restrain her companion. It was well
that she succeeded, for even as Paloma
raised her weapon a man passed swiftly by
the crack of tho half-open door and scarcely
ten feet beyond the muzzle of tho rifle. He
was followed by three others.
The first of the new comers, acting ns
spokesman for his party, stepped out Into
the moonlight and cried loudly: "Hello,
men I What's" goln" on here?" It was an
American voice; it had a broad, slow,
Texas drawl.
The group of plotters turned, there was
a startled murmur, then Tad Lewis an
swered: "Hello 1 Who aro you? What do you
want?"
"I reckon we must have got oft the
road," announced the stranger. Then he
peered out across tho (rlver: "Say I Ain't
that a skiff coming yonder?" he Inquired.
"Well, it don't look like a steamboat."
Lowls laughed, disagreeably. "We're
bavin' a little party of our own. I reckon
you fellows had better beat It Under
stand?" The outposts that had been sent to cover
the bank In both directions were now com
ing In. Through the stillness of the night
ttseee ansreeWn tne eni

Thar yftur road back yowder. It's a
right good road, and I'd advlee yon U

and the women noticed that he earrteet a
short saddle gun. They saw, also, that at
least one of the men at his beek VM
tlmllarly armed.
"Now, what's the hurry?" The etrenfer
was chuckling. Suddenly he r Ma
voice and called loudly, "Hello, Pave I Is
that you-all?"
The answer floated promptly back, "Helte,
Cap I Sure It's us."
"Have you got him?"
It was niate Jones's voice whek an
swered this time, "You betl"
Paloma Jones was trembling bow. She
clung to Alalre, crying thankfully, "It's the
Rangerel Tho Rangers I" Then she hrefce
away and ran out Into the moonlight,
trailing her absurd firearm after her.
".Sow, boys," the lunger captain was
aaylng. M know "most every one of ye,
and we ain't going to have the. least bit
of trouble over this thing, are wet I
reckon you-all are friends of Rleardo Out
man, and you Just couldn't wait to Had
out about him, eh?"
Atalre, who had followed Paloma, was
close enough now to recognise the two
Guzman boys as members of the Ranger
party. Lewis and his men had drawn to
gether at the nrat alarm: Longorlo's Mexi
cans had gathered about their leader. The
entire situation had changed In a mom set
and the Ranger captain was In control ,
of It '
Soon Dave Law and Blase Jones came op
over the river bank; they paused, strieken
with surprise at finding a score of pee4e
whero they had expected no more than
four.
Blaze was the first to speak. "What the-
hell?" he cried. He peered near-elghtedly
from ono to the other: then his huge bulk
shook with laughter, "Say, do my glasses
magnify, or Is this an Odd Fellows'
meetln'?" ,
"Dad I Oh, Dad I" Paloma scurried to
him and flung herself Into his arms.
"Lord of mercy, kldl" the father ex
claimed. "Why, yoi'd ought to be home
and abed, long 'ago. You'll catch your
death of cold. Is that gun loaded."
Dave Law was even moro amazed than
his companion. His nfst glimpse ot the
waiting figures had warned him that some
thing had gone wrong, nnd, therefore, he
did not stop to nsk himself how Tad Lewis
and Longorlo could have learned of this
affair, or what could have brought Alalro
and Ed Austin to the scene. Recovering
from his -first surprise, he took a position
beside his superior officer.
Captain Evans did not seem at all
troubled by the disparity In numbers, One
Ranger, or tvrb at the most had hlways
been sufficient to quell a Texan disturb
ance; now that there were three ot them,
ha felt equal to an Invasion ot Mexican
soil. If necessary In consequence he re
laxed his watchful vigilance, and to Dave
