wonder to every one woh that she did
not shoot Dennlson and have done with

that she loved him. Which she did.

"Tell me," said Maggie, "tell ine the

"Who told you?" asked Maggie,
"Two fellows that wns on the colo

"What did ho light fovV"
"Woman," ho told her, curtly. "She
was tho other man's wife."
Maggie's face wan so near the color
of the alkali sand outside that it could
not turn pale, And the only expression
of which her eyes Jiudo ver been cap
able ,as a dull hopelessness. So
there would have been no guessing

and went to her mid put his hand on

door nnd stood there, his feet wide
apart, considering the glaring flat nnd
looking back nt Mngglc, over his shoul

She cried for it good half hour, and
the whole experience frightened Ita
lic so niurh that It was not until neatly

subject again, tie meant to go nt It
tactfully, this lime, but It entne at the
end of a long, strnlnod pause. "Bay
what about our getting joined In wed

his breath for fenr she would cry again.
Hut she took It quietly this time, "f
ain't sure he's dead," she answered.
"I am," said Leslie. "Hut I'll go
fetch the fellows that told me nbout

He went out nnd saddled his bronco,
and depaited bv the way he hnd come.
"I'll be back," ho said.
He had no Idea wheie the fellows

In Albonn, New Mexico, Colorado or
California by now. nut though his
phrasing might have been less pol

with those of C.ilonne If It were hill
Impossible, Il should be done. It took
him four months to do It. nut at the
end of that time be rode up to the
ndobe again. There weie two men
with him, and they went into details
that caused Maggie to be convinced.
"All right," she said to Leslie that
night, "I'll many you." It was not
enthuslatie, hut Leslie made allow
ances, and took what ho could get.
So, the next morning, the ranch wns
left in chaige of tho two vaqueros, the
Mexican woman, the fourteen ihlldien.
and five mongrel dogs And Maggie
and Leslie rode off, side bv side, with
the two men bringing up the rear. The
same pndie who had made hei Mi s.
Dennlson made her Mrs. Leslie now,
and gae hei his blessing. Khe took it
stolidly. Then she and her husband
took the train for California, to see
Denniaon's grave.
The head-hoaid to It, had the sur
name hi black letters on a plain boanl
Riound. MaRgle did not llko that, so
Leslie paid for a new onr- wblte.patnt
ed with the Christian names as well.
When It wns duly put up. they went
on their way. The wny tas tow .ml
the Mojae Leslie had mining Inter
ests up theie. nnd, being In the gen
ei.il neighboihood, he took the op
poi tunity of looking them up.
At MoJae they left the. tinln, hlicd
a wagon nnd proceeded tow aid tho in
terior. All da. they dtove along a
rond that wound between soft-i oiling
hills, pale blown, shrub-flecked. The
sun sioiihed Near the iallwa theie
weie small rttlliwitod bits, wheie
gteen things glow. But they stopped
aftei a while. Bv afternoon it was
desolation.
"Wheie'll we put up tonight?" Mag
gie asked the flist time theie had
been a woid in two hours or more.
Theie was a house ahead, he told
her. He had Inquhed as to th.tt. Tt
was thiity-the miles Horn Ihe lail
wn moie oi less and It belonged to
one Dennis It seemed.
They came to it in due thin, but
Dennis himself was not aiounil lust
then. His wife explained that he had
gone to di he in n heilei and her talf.
She took thaige of them ItPiself, in
the meanwhile. She was a pieltv lit
tle thing, tiagiiall. oung, coiisinei -iug
the lmidships and the loneliness of
her lite. Hei ees weie liniment and
big, and her countenance was or a
sweetly insipid cast, with a skin still
ot peaihcs and tienm. She was glad
to see Maggie. Piobahlv she would
h.ue been glad to see tiny one, lor the
sakp ot human speeih. However that
was. she gave Maggie attentions or a
kind she had neet thought of.
And Maggie w.us feminine at he.ut,
though she had little enough thiiiue
to lealie II The gentle coddling ot
the litle thing melted hei. Within half
an bout she had learned to like hei
peihaps men moie than that to have
some allt'ction roi her. Thev weio
hand in hand, on the edge ot a bunk,
talking, when Dennis came in. Dennis
was hum civ Dennlson with a last syl
lable the less and a beaid the moie.
Maggie knew him at once. And he
knew her. Ills jaw foil.
"This is my husband," said the git.
The tone of adulation and possession
made Maggie sick but only loi a short
instant. She stood up and put out her
hand. Dennis hesitated, then he (nine
forward and took It. His tenoi was
making him quake.
"Pleased to inept ,ou Mr. Dennis,'
said Maggie, with stiess on the name,
and looking him sti .tight In the ejos.
His own fell. "Sine!" he agieed. la
mentably. He tiled to smile. "I got
to go to the con ill," he said.
Leslie wns theie. Maggie thought of
that and of what might possibly fol
low. "My husband's out theie .Mi.
Leslie's out theie; ou'll Unci him," she
called. It was a warning with intent
to save bloodshed. He might take It
or not, as he choose,
Ho took it. Instead of to the cor
ral, he wont to his loom and locked
himself In and oxatnlned his revolver,
against an emergency.
But Maggie went out to the stable.
She found her husband nibbing down
the stock, "Say," she said, stuncllng
beside him with her hands on her hips,
"Bay ho ain't Dennis at all. He's
Dennlson. He's my husband."
It vvus Leslie's turn to have his jaw
chop, "Did you know It?" sho de
manded, Ho faced her. "X did not, Mag. I
wouldn't have phiyed you any audi
dirty trick."
"All right," she said. She knew tin
truth when sho heard It. "It's douo
and thero nln't nny benso making tho
