LOPEZ’S HOMECOMING

’Ceneion Iopez, daughter of Census,
the outlaw, paused on the brink of the
arroyo, ousting n quick glance down its
scarred bed. Thenishe throw back her

From his carved cradle in the corner
’Oenciou's black eyed baby gurgled and
shouted at his mother’s reappearance,
but she passed him with semit notice.
Tho frijoles steamed. brown and savory,
in the great kettle; coffee bubbled in the
pot. The outlnw's daughter placed her
burden on the table, and, setting plates
and cups for two, turned hastily to the
stove again toaprend tortillas on the
hissing lids.

With her skin flushed by the strong
heat, ’Oencion bent to her task. piling
the crisp sheets, one after another, upon
an earthen dish. Once she straightened
up her graceful length and smiled op-
provingly at tho toothsomo hoop. Just
as the lost coke found its place It fugi~
tivo atop rattled the pebbles before the
door.

The flush on the girl's face deepened,
and her full eyes widened cxpectuntly.
She sprang to meet the newcomor’s
worm caress, took his rifle and sombrero
from him and hurried to serve tho meal
while he unwound tho folds of his dun
scrape.

“I saw thy signal, querida," he said
in a musical buss,iliuglng down the wrap
and moving to the cradle side. “How
futon my son? Is all Well with yo since
[lust come?" '

The baby slept. 'Cenoion laid be:
eager face on tho men‘s shoulder, smil-
ing down at tho woe. dark profile.

“All is well," she answered.

“And Juan?”

“Comes not till the Monday. You

A little frown drew between her brows.
but her lips still smiled. "Como, senor;

Smut-ting under his ill fortune and
fiercely angry at his false comrade, Ju-
un Lopez guthored together the wreck-
IIgo from his outfit and sot his face to-
wurd borne. It had been It disnstrons
trip from the very start. He might have
known when Atur refused to budge
from tho corrul and only passed the gate
protestingly under tho quirt that the
expedition was destined to failure.

Juan tied up his injured Imn as host

truth, and, hurling n vivid imprcontion
in the direction taken by Manuel alto:

the route of yesterday. “Madro do Di-

All day Atnr and Selim ploddod with

The fever of his hurt grow in his blood
and resentment consumed him.

“Good st. Bernard, reward him!" he
cried as a heavy jolt gave an oxtrn
twinge to his soreness, and, choking an
excited list at tho cloud cupped heights
above: “Send mist from thy mountain
