"Not only am I to aaoort you but I wu to aee tthat you have every apaolail attention.'' Ha added casualty, "that last waa my own Idea." Mary's color rose. "Thank you," he aald tremulously. "H-how did you ever know me, Lieutenant Johnson T" He bowed. "I waa told to look for the most beautiful lady in Mon terey and tor once, his Excellency waa right" He had given up trying to analyse the impulse that had led him into this daring masquerade. To Mosquito, he had merely aald cryptically, "we are going to Mon terey to put the beautiful Imperious Benorlta in her ptoce. Outside, Mary looked at dim in quiet astonishment as he led her up to three carriages waiting in a row. "You sea Benorlta, it Is a problem. That horse, harnessed to the first carriage la a tired old fel low. He'd probably take us straight to the Governor's mansion. The second horse is a year or so young er but no imagination. A turn or two around the Flaza and then the Governor's mansion." Mary smiled as the plot dawned on her. "And the tfctrd carriage?" "Ah Senorita, this is the Carnival carriage. The horses are young and reckless. They like the nar row, crowded little streets. They prance to the music from the gay cantina. They are very sensible. Mary looked at him, her face radiant. "Sounds like a dare." Then, "and I always take a dare, Mr. B&merrec" Their progress through the town took them through narrow streets crowded with gay celebrants. Finally the carriage stopped and Ramerres bore her in strong arms to a tree-fringed' knoll where the surf broke Just beyond on the rockr beach. enrawUns: beside bar, be asked quietly, "what are you thinking about.

They both laughed and then, be cause it seamed the only thing to do, Ramerres put hla arms around her suddenly and crashed his mouth to hers. Mary felt a mer curial thrill race over her and her Una seemed to take flame. The next instant though she pulled back and her hand shot out and slapped him square across the cheek.

Prissnd inconspicuously aa a traveller he would ' go Into the : place alone. Mosquito would ride Into the town as "Ramerres" and whehe posse chased him, the Capttaa Vu&d close the shutter of tba Polka window which would be a signal tor Pedro and bis men to Invade the saloon. "All right Mosquito, let's get to the camp and get started." "Tea and Mi Capltan, when we get to work, you forget the Senor ita, humm?" "Forget her?" Ramerres said calmly, "I never even think of her." Then, mounting his horse he looked up at the sky and murmured, "I wonder where aha Uvea," "Girl, you've item migbty bard to find lately." "I I hadn't noticed It" Ha frowned, then looked away. "Mary, I've got a plan in mind and there are a few question I'd like to ask you. What did that fellow Ramerres took like? Would you know him if yon aaw him again?" Her straight brows draw togetner In thought "Gee, rm afraid not, Jack. Hi had his face mostly cov ered. But I could tell by his lingo that he's either Spanish or Mex ican. Why?" Tm goln' to get bin." His words were staccato. I've given orders that all gold from the mines stays in Cloudy; We're keeping It at the Polka. Ramerres has already discovered that there's no gold com ing out and we've spread it around that you're banking more for the boys than Wells-Fargo could carry in a montn. l uunk ne u oa inter ested enough now to want to find it" She looked at him proudly. Gee, Jack had enough brains for ten men. This Ramerres was up against plenty u be really naa ute nerve to come to Cloudy. . . . As It happened, the "handsome Lieutenant," garbed again in his Mexican dress, was at this moment lazymar away some bouts in a sman canyon near the bandit camp. In his hand he held a poster, offering "ten thousand dollars for tba cap ture or Hamerres." "Ton see, Mi Capltan," Mosquito was saying gleefully, "now they give you a raise. You are worth twice as much to them. By Ool ites, everybody in California, they look for you. What beef success you are." He peered at the silent Ramerres. "what's wrong weeth you lately, au tapnanr" Ramerres looked up tatereatadrr.

"WaH be stad to welcome yon stranger," Ranee said tightly, "soon as we know who we're meetin'. . . . And I advise yon to spin it before soma of the boys start getthV mad."

Deliberately walking up to Ramerres, ha said with no attempt at ooncaallng his hostility, "glad to have mat you Mr. Johnson." Then, with a glance at Mary, jut we dont like people that try to move in on a claim that's already been staked. Will ha back In maybe an hour. And I don't wont to tad, you kers them.0 There was a long silence as Ram erres watched the departing Sher iff and his men through the door. Then Mary said slowly, "if you could shuffle Jack like a deck of cards an ace would oome out on top. Only he's just a little funny when It comes to me." Bha turned to the bartender. "Nick, put out the lights and bolt the back win dows and doors. There's a lot of money here and with the boys out chasing Ramerres I'm not going to take any chances." Bamerres felt hla breath pump in his lungs. "Yes, it would be too bad if Ramerres circled back Mire." Mary swung around. "It might be too bad for him too. Because he'd have to take ma before he could take Ibis gold In hers." "Is It your money?" "Most of it belongs to the boys." That's different "No it isn't. I've got a personal Interest In it Tou see," sbe said as he looked at her Inquiringly, "I know how hard they work to gat it, how they eat dirt, sleep dirt and breathe dirt and It isn't just for themselves either. There aint a one of them that hasn't got some one back borne that theyre work ing for. And I dont think thia Ramerres Is so smart If ha was he wouldn't be steal in' from peo- le comin' out here to make their omes, to build up the West If be was smart, he'd know men don't have to rob and kill ilka wolves to live." There was a queer pause as Ram errei stared at her. Then ha made his decision. He would not give the signal. "look, Golden Hair," he said, talking rapidly, "the Sher iff's given me just one hour with you. ijet's spena it outsiaa." A short walk through the fra grant night air brought them to Mary's favorite spot, the glen be side the mountain stream. They didn't speak for a moment just let the mafia draw them together In a sweet, ineffable closeness. Than ha said fauskihr. "Golden Hair, if a been wonderful seeing you. And to think that tomorrow rm liable to ha far away from here." She asked with a breathless catch, "you can coma hack can't you? That is, if yen want to sea me bad enough." -i snouian-s, uoiaen Hair. Al ways, in his daring career, ha had been cautious when It cams to wo men. Now, all sorts of desires were making demands upon him. "But who Is there to say what love will do?" "Love!" Bteppin back, she out her hands to her cheeks, flaming in the darkness. Then a voloe spoke out of the darkness. It was Nick the bar tender. "Oh, sorry to kinda' in terrupt you Miss Mary but the Sheriff just got back and he's lookln' for you. Gosh, Is he boilln' mad on account of Ramerres givin' him the slip." : When Nick bad gone, aha whis pered, "I guess you gotta be roin' now account oi .jack, x wouMnt want . to see no trouble between you." He took her bands. "Tomorrow bight, Golden Hair, m be at your cabin." He brought both her hands to his lips and the caress seemed to find its way to her toes. "All tonight rn say tomorrow," She told him. "And all tomorrow rU say to night" To be ooschutos) CROSS ROADS Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Hobbs and sons visited Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Winborne Sunday afternoon.
