who tells the story, that his for-
mer wife's twin daughters, Dan-
felle and Gabrielle, are coming
to *he ranch to live, their mother
being dead and their father,
Daniel Canneziano, who had
been the cause of Sam's divore-
ing his wife, in the penitentiary.
Sam has adopted a boy, John,
ROW grown to manhood, and a
girl, Martha, twenty-one, physi-
cally healthy but weak-minded
Mrs. Ollie Ricker, Martha's
nurse, lives with them. Hubert
Hand, a wanderer, and Chadwick
Caufield, John's wartime buddy,
are ‘he other members of the
household.
CHAPTER II—Continued
—
Until after he came, 1 had not real-
ized how little real laughing any of
us had done. We had been happy
enough, and content; but we had
never been much amused. He amused
us. He made us laugh. He took the
mechanical player off the old grand
piano, and played it as we had never
before heard it played. He spoke
pieces and sang funny songs cntil we
held our sides with laughing. He was
a ventriloquist, and a mimic besides.
He could imitate all of our voices
toa T.
Martha adore@ him. He played
with her by the hour. He made two
dolls, Mike and Pat, for her, and he
would let them sit on her knees while
he made them talk for her.
At the end of November, when he
began to talk about leaving, Sam
offered him a hundred and fifty a
month to stay on. He said, ike Hu-
bert Hand had said, “What for?”
“For living,” Sam said.
Chad laughed and shook his head.
“Double it, then,” Sam urged. “I
wouldn't have you leave the plac,
and Martha, for three hundred a
month; so why shouldn’t I pay it to
have you stay?”
Chad never would take any regular
money from Sam. But he stayed on.
He called himself the “Perpetual
Guest—P. @.” for short, but some of
the others said it stood for “Pollyanna
Gush” and called him “Polly” to twit
him. Pollyanna may not be litera-
ture, I don’t know; but a person of
that nature is most unccmmonly pleas-
ant to have around the house.
The girls got here on Friday, the
eighth of May. Sam aud I rode down
to attail in the sedan to meet them,
and John took the small truck down
to bring up their baggage.
I don’t know what there is about
riding in a train that turns folks
haughty and supercilious; but there is
something that does. A person who
would be right hearty and human on
his own two feet, sits in a car win-
dow and looks out at the platform
people as If they were something he
wanted to be careful not to step on.
By the time I had passed fifty or
more windows, and had reached where
the girls were standing, I was so
heated up | couldn't find a word to
say but, “Pleased to meet you,” which
was not the truth.
One of them smiled real sweet, and
said, “Mary! Upon my soul you
haven't changed at all in sixteen
years,” and made as if to kiss me;
whieh 1 did at once.
The other one gave me a jerky nod,
and stood there. watching the train
pull out, until Sam, who had been
poking along behind me, managed to
catch up.
“Uncle Sam,” she exclaimed, laugh-
ing and standing on tiptoe, and put-
ting her hands or his shoulders, and
tipping her pointed chin up to him.
“you dear, to have as! | had always
reme.nhered that you were the big:
gest man in the world, and now | see
that 1 was right about il.”
Sam didn’t kiss her, as she had ex-
pected him to. He patted her hands.
took them down off his shoulders and
held them a minute before he dropped
them and reached tc shake hands
with the twin who had kisaed me.
“Well. now,” he said. “this is sure
great. Little givls all grown up to
ladies, and coming tec see their old
uncle.” (lle haa bitten on that aucle
bait, though he was no more their
uncle than | 'was.) “Which of you 'g

used to get you all mixed up, when
youn were little tykes—couldn’t tell
one from the other”
“You won't have that trouble any
more.” said the one wio had nodded
at me. “1 am Gabrielle, and that
prim little puss is [rnielle. People
never get confused about us any
longer.’
The population of Rattail had come
running to the depot, of course, when
the train stopped; and. at last, swag
gering his way among mules, females
Indians. cowpunchers, and dogs, here
came John
“La-1a'" exclaimed gabrielle, when
she caugnm sight of him. “Who is
this picturesque man thing coming
toward us?”
John did «00k pretty fine, wearing
Bis new cosdnroy suit, and his shining
“How thrilling!” chirped Gabrielle.
“It is like living In a cinema, isn’t it,
Danny?” And off she went, sort of
skipping along the tracks, to meet
him.
When they met, John gave her
about the same attention that a pas
senger gives the ticket chopper at the
gate, in a city depot, when he sees
the train he is trying to catch moving
slowly out through the yards. He
pulled off his hat with a bow, but he
passed her, walking very fast. 1
thought that he was so flustered that
he did not know what he was doing.
He knew. He was heacd>d straight for
Danny. He bad been In the freight
house since long before the train came
in, sizing up from a safe distance
the girls’ arrival. Then he bad
sneaked out the back way, up past
the staticn house, and around it and
back again, to give the appearance of
having just that minute got into Rat-
tail,
“John,” 1 said, when he reached
Danny and me, and stopped short,
like he. had just been lassoed from the
rear, “this is Danielle Canneziano.”
John dropped his hat in the alkali
dust, his new hat, and reached out
and took both of Danny’s hands in his.
Falling on his knees in front of her
would not have been much showlier.
“I—" he produced, “I—I heard you
laugh.”
To me, it barely made sense; but
she seemed to find it interesting and
important.
“Really?” she sai4, and sort of
trilled it full of meanirsg.
Rattail’s population was beginning
to close in around us. 1 pulled at
John's sleeve; but 1 declare, if a
freight hadn't come along, forcing
those two to get off the tracks, they
might have been standing there yet,
gazing into each other's eyes.
1 was halfway home, riding beside
Danny in the sedan, when Gabrielle's
laughing out again, at some remark of
Sam’s, made me remember that she
had been the only one who had done
any laughing when we had met. Dan-
ny had only smiled. So, if that laugh
was what had put John clear off his
head, he had picked the wrong twin.
CHAPTER II1
The Secret
The first minute | heard that the
Canneziano girls were cowing to the
Desert Moon, 1 questioned my self as
to what reason any Canneziano ever
had for coming to the ranch, or for
writing to the ranch. The answer
was, to get money. 1 tried to think
that they would stay a few months,
long enough to put themselves in
Sam’s good graces, ask him for a tidy
sum, and leave. But they had not
been on the place two days before I
knew that there was something far
less simple, something, probably,
treacherous and sinister at the root
of this visit of theirs to the Desert
Moon.
On the evening of their arrival the
girls had unpacked their trunks in
their bedrooms. The next morning

Sides With Laughing.
the boys carried their trunks to the
attic. Going through the upper hall.
later that same morning, | saw one of
the empty drawers that had fitted into
their new-fangled trunks, lying beside
the door to the attic stairway.
1 hate clutter. | picked it up and
carried 't upstairs. 1 went in all
good faith: but | wear rubber-so.cqa
shoes around the house. and the stairs
are thickly carpeted; so the girls, who
were up there. did not hear me com
ing. Jus! before | got to the turn in
the stairs, | heard one of them say:
*“] am sure that there is no use in
searching tlie house. In the first
how, richer, that it was Gaby’'s. “Stop
being sure, and try being sensible.
We must find it. We have very little
time. How do you know whether he
could have brought t into the house
or not? There is a back stairway.”
Fool that I was, 1 kept right on go-
ing up the stairs. It took me a while
to develop the poll-prying, eaves
dropping, sneaking, and generally
despicable character that I did de-
velop later.
“Did you girls lose something?” 1
asked.
Danny jumped, from being startled,
but Gaby never turned a hair,
“Only a trinket of Dan's,” she said.
“Possibly she never packed it at all.”
I gave them the trunk drawer and
came back downstairs, wracking my
brain with questions.
Who was the “he” who had, or
who had not, gotten something into
the house? The something that they
must find, and had very little time in
which to find it. And, land's alive,
what was the something?
I resolved to say nothing, but €>
watch those two girls, like a hawk,
from then on. I did so. But it was
three weeks before | heard anything
more at all, though I saw a great deal.
It was during these three weeks
that Danny and John announced their
engagement. My own opinion is that
they got themselves engaged the first
five minutes they were alone together;
but that they had gumption enough
to wait for ten days before telling it.
Sam gave them his blessing. That
is to say, he said that any agreement
they wanted to make was all right
with him, if Danny was sure she
would be satisfied to live on the Desert
Moon, and if they would wait a year
to be married. They agreed to this,
the year of waiting, reluctdntly. The
only people who were downright
pleased with Sam's decision were Gaby
and myself. I, for certain reasons of
my own. Gaby, because she was
choosing to consider herself also in
love with John,
She made no bones about her feel-
ings. I did not do as John did, and
set all of her open advances toward
him down to sister-in-lawly affection.
Still, I didn’t believe that she really
thought she was in love with John,
until I hid in the clothes closet that
evening and heard Danny and ber
talking together.
Gaby’s actions, that evening, toward
John had been so downright disgust-
ing, sitting on the arm of his chair,
and trying to coax him out of the
house to see the mountains by moon-
light, and hanging herself around his
neck when they danced together, and
so on, that I had a notion Danny
might have a little conversation ready
for her when she could get her alone.
1 bad waited about ten minutes
when I heard the door of Gaby’s room
open. 1 was so tickled I all bat
squealed, when 1 heard that Danny
had come in with her, instead of go-
ing on down the hall tc her own room
Evidently they had begun their con-
versation in the hall, for Gaby’s first
words were, “jealous, my dear Dan?
“] don’t know. But it is silly for
you to act as you do. John is in love
with me. Why should you try to take
him away from me, when you don’t
want him yourself?”
“Are you sure of that?”
“Yes, | am. His good looks fas-
cinate you, and so does his unsophisti-
cation. You'd like the fortune he is to
inherit. Rut you would never be satis-
fied to marry him and live right here
for the remainder of your life.”
“No, 1 would not. [I'd marry him, if
he didn’t have a penny—it is you who
are always thinking about his fortune
—but 1 wouldn't allow him to bury
himself, and his beauty, and charm in
this Godforsaken country. I'd get
him out into the world, and nave him
take his place there. With his ability
and energy, and with me to help him.
what a place it might be! For you to
have him is—waste. Waste. You
don’t know anything about love. You'll
never learn. 1—I tell you 1 can’t bear
it. It isn’t fair—" She began to cry,
hollow sounding sobs, that seemed to
catch in her throat and wrench free
from it.
“1 am sorry, Gaby. 1 love John

“What about your desire for re-

“That desire was yours, not mine.

“Coward! Quitter! Stool-pigeon—"
“That isn’t fair, Gaby. I'll help if
I can. I have been helping, haven't
I? I won't hinder in any way. But
the time is short now. Remember
that.”
“Danny—" There was a new tone
in Gaby’s voice, sweet like, and ap-
pealing. I did not trust it for a min-
ute; but I think Danny did, for she
answered, gently, “Yes, dear?”
“Forgive me, Let's be twinny again.
Friends?” 1 could hear the treachery
in that as plainly as I could hear the
words. [I think Danny did not hear
it, for she answered, “1 do want to
be friends Gaby. I do, truly. Only—
please, dear, won't you leave my man
alone?”
“And you'll help me. And you won't
tell him—anything?”
“Of course I won't tell, Gaby. It is
really your secret, now; not mine.
And I'll help you all I can.”
. * ® * . ® .
Revenge. Out of all that crazy
conversation the one word kept pester-
ing me like a leaking faucet, Did
people revenge other people, or have
revenge on them, or—what? I looked
it up in the dictionary. “Milicious in-
Juring in return for an injury or of-
fense received.”
I got a piece of paper and wrote
it down. “The Canneziano girls want
to injure, maliciously, some one on
the Desert Moon ranch, in return for
an injury or an offense received.” I
crossed out “The Canneziano girls,”
and wrote, “Gabrielle Canneziano,”
since Danny had said that she had
never considered that side of it at
all. It did not help any. It did not
make sense.
Since Sam and I were the only peo-
ple on the ranch they had known be-
fore they came here this time, it
seemed as if they had come to injure,
maliciously, one of us. I had never
done either of them a mite of harm
in my life. Sam had never done any-
thing but good for them. Of course,
Sam wnad not been very gentle with
their father. But, as I took pains to
discover, neither of them had any
kind feelings for their father. Both
of them laid their mother's death at
Canneziano’s door. They thought that
his cruelty and his neglect had killed
her. It was senseless to suppose that
they were harboring a grudge against
Sam for anything that he had ever
done to Canneziano.
The Desert Moon was like a three
ring circus during the months of May
and June, There were the girls, ever:
lastingly searching for something:
leaving the house shortly after the
men left it, each morning; returning,
tired out, just in time for dinner; off
again for the afternoon, and coming
home just in time to pretty up for sup-
per. After a while, 1 began to lose
interest in that; and, being a woman,
I allowed my attention to become dis-
tracted by the center ring where all
the love interest was going on. Most
of my attention I gave to the clown in
the ring,—to Chad.
I cannot explain it, now or ever;
but Chad, from the very first, was
head over heels in love with Gaby.
He had no more chance of winning
her, penniless, funny, kind little fellow
that he was, than an amateur has of
riding an outlaw pony.
She never gave him two looks. He
couldn't even make her laugh with his
jokes and his songs, as he could the
rest of us, But he followed her about,
and waited on her. He brought her
pony up to the house, instead of allow
ing one of the outfit to do it. He
brought her desert flowers, which she
tossed away to wither. And Martha
was half mad with jealousy.
Right at first. 1 think that some of
the others thought that Martha's
Jealousy was something of a joke. |
never did think so. Before long we
all began to feel that it was move
than a little serious. Sam talked to
Chad, and to Gaby about ft. Chad
did the best he could, after that, ta
be as attentive to Murtha as he had
been before; but if he so much as
opened a door for Gaby, Martha would
go into temper fits, and sulking spells.
As for Gaby, Sam's talk with her
made things worse. She had never
noticed Chad at all, so she had not
noticed that Martha was fealous of
him. She welcomed the news as an-
other tocl she could use to tease and
torment the poor girl. All along she
had delighted in teasing and torment-
ing Martha, though she had not dared
do it when Sam was present.
One of Gaby’s pleasant little ways
was to refer to Martha as an Idiot,
right before her face,
“La-la!” Gaby exclaimed one eve-
ning, when Martha was wa.dering
about. “The idiot gets on my nerves.
Can't you make her keep still, Mrs.
Ricker?”
“She isn’t harming anyone,” 1 said,
since Mrs. Ricker, as usual, said noth-
ing. “You leave her alone, and stop
talking like that, Miss.”
“I'm not harming anyone, now,”
Martha piped up. “But some day |
might. I'd like to ! won’t, though,”

she walked over close to Gaby, “it
you'll give me the gold monkey. I'l
be good then, for always.”

FINDING OF BONES
SOLVES MYSTERY
Case Had Puzzled Police for
Seven Years.
Winnipeg, Man.—With the discovery
near Turtleford, Sask., by a farmer’s
wife, a seven-year-old murder mystery
has been solved and the disappear-
ance of the alleged slayer cleared up
by the Northwest Mounted police,
A jury brought in a verdict that
the bones were those of Charles Tay-
lor, for whom a nation-wide search
was carried on in the fall of 1922 fol-
lowing the murder of Taylor's cousin,
of Paradise Hill. Currie was found
dead outside his shack with two shot-
gun wounds in his body.
The coroner's jury further decided
hat Taylor, who disappeared immedi-
a after the murder,
death by his own hand.
Police authorities in Canada and the
United States searched for Taylor and
the mystery might never have been
solved but for the discovery of the
skeleton by Mrs. Frank Klein, who
came upon it while picking berries 200
yards from her home. She discovered
the skull and notified Royal Canadian
Northwest Mounted police. Constable
It was a bracelet charm of Gaby's, a
gold monkey, about the size of a large | |
almond, with jade eyes. The minute |
Martha had seen it she had begun to |
beg for it. Gaby would not give it |
to her; would not so much as allow |
her to wear it for a few hours at a |
time. As usual, this evening, she re-
fused to let Martha touch it.
“Yes, and you'll be sorry,” Martha |
threatened.
Just as she had hated Gaby from
the start, Martha had loved Danny; |
but she could not tell them apart. I
seemed incredible that even Martha |
could be confused about the two girls; |
because, if ever girls were opposites, |
those girls were. Their faces, just |
their faces, did look alike, They both |
had large brown eyes, straight noses,
small mouths, pointed chins, and com-
plexions the color of real light cara-
mel frosting. Danny's cheeks showed |
a faint pink, coming and going. Gaby |
painted her cheekbones, clear back to
her ears, with deep orange-pink color. |
They both had wavy, dark brown hair, |
cut just the same in the back, real
close fitting and down to a point. But |
Gaby brushed her hair straight back |
from her forehead, and put varnish
stuff on it till it was as sleek and shin- |
ing as patent leather. Gaby’s clothes |
were all loud colored, or seemed to
be—black turned gaudy when she put |
it on—and they were all insecure ap |
pearing, too defiant of paper patterns |
to be quite moral. Danny's clothes |
were as neat and quiet as a pigeon’s. |
Since Hubert Hand was too selfish |
ever to love anything that his nose |
wasn’t attached to, his carryings om
with Gaby should be classed, 1 think, |
not in the center ring, but as the main |
attraction of the third ring. And he
almost old enough to be her father, |
with white coming into his hair at|
his temples! |
To this day I have never under- |
stood those two, during those months. |

Baboon Formidable Foe When Incited to Fury
|
At night the South African baboon
Is a timorous creature, and as its sight
in the dusk is far inferior to that of
the leopard, the latter sometimes
steals up to where the troop is sleep
ing, makes Its pounce, and escapes
with a shrieking victim. But the
leopard does not invariably have the
best of jt. There are several well
authenticated Instances of such a night
murauder being surrounded and torn
to pieces. Another enemy much dread
tq] by baboons inhabiting the warmer
Incalities is the rock-python. But there
are Instances of evén the python being
destroyed by the combined fury of a
troop, All snakes, whether poisvnous
or not, are equally feared by baboons.
This is somewhat strange in view of
the circumstances that the latter can
at once distinguish between berries
that are wholesome and those that are
poisonous, even though they may never |
have seen them before. The hiss of
a snake will reduce the most enraged
baboon to a state of abject terror, and
a dead snake placed In the vicinity of
one will drive it almost distracted, |

“Murder” Fails as Way
of Getting Divorce
Berlin.—Herr Landwehr and his
wife found a brief experience of mari-
| tal felicity more than sufficient. But
| their effort to regain freedom has
| ended disastrously.
The couple live at Premnitz, in the
provincé of Brandenburg. The hus-
band is only twenty-three and the wife
| thirty- three. Whether this disparity
of years has had anything to do with
the mutual dislike that followed their
marriage is not disclosed.
On one point only could they agree
—that separation
neither could accuse the other of ac-
tual cruelty or infidelity, and as neith-
er had any desire to create the neces-
sary evidence, they languished chained
together in despair.
Then one day smoke was seen fis-
suing from their bedroom window.
Neighbors broke in, to find the bed
| ablaze—and Herr Landwehr sleeping
| peacefully upon it. The apparently
unpenitent wife freely acknowledged
that she had sprinkled benzine on it
and then set it on fire, and was arrest-
ed for the attempted murder of her
husband.
Now, however, she has been released
and the couple are condemned again
to live together. For investigation of
the crime, revealed that the “murder”
| was planned with the assistance of the
husband, it being hoped in this way
to obtain sufficient evidence for di-
| vorce proceedings.
