CHAPTER XV.
It was a joyful return to the Mesquite
valley ranch. Difficult indeedwould
it be to exaggerate the enthusiastic wel
come of the impulsive Kate the over
joyed though restrained greeting of the
more conservative Edith, for in the brief
interval of bis absence Miss Stafford had
passed some very lonely hours and had
found time to realize how much the
presence of Bruce had grown to be to
her. If she had reflected with bitterness
upon the change of his attitude toward
lier, if she had found the contrast be
tween Miss Dallas and herself so over
whelming that she almost pitied Bruce
for the blindness of his own vision, there
was nothing strange or unfeminine in all
this.
Indeed, considering the tender regard
the lady entertained for the ranchman,
it was quite natural that she should be
convinced that she was the one person
in the wide world to make him happy.
Quite as natural was it that she should
see nothing but misery for him in in
dulging this unexplainable regard for
Mi6s Dallas, that she should believe
Bruce to be the victim Of some species of
enchantment, and that the prestige of her
own birth and position should inspire
her with- little but Aversion and con
tempt for her rival.
Actuated by these feelings, the fair
Edith during the first hours of his re
turn laid aside the pique that she had
shown of late and displayed an arch and
playful manner that Bruce had once
found irresistible. It was the old Edith,
whose nameless grace and charm had
once well nigh betrayed him into a dec
laration. For a time he appeared like
one fascinated by a memory of the past,
and Edith was about to congratulate her
self upon the return of her influence
when one morning she beheld him saddle
his horse and ride away without taking
leave of her as of old. It was three days
before he again appeared at the Mesquite
valley ranch.
Miss Stafford needed no prompting as
to the nature of his journey. The direc
tion in which his horse had been headed
settled that. But she was grieved and
indignant. Without stopping to trace
tlie steps by which she arrived at this
conclusion, she felt herself terribly out
raged and wronged. She was vindictive
in consequence. Howbeit, she resolved
to make one more determined effort tc
regain her ascendency. She would if
possible remove Bruce from the influence
of this rural siren who was fast teach
ing him to forget the requirements of his
rank of life. If in the interval Cynthia,
finding herself abandoned, should decide
to crown the hopes of one so suitable as
the gloomy Mr. Jerrold, Miss Stafford
would renew her childish belief that "all
marriage? Were made in heaven."
In this strait she appealed to Kemo
chan to fulfill a promise, given long be
fore, to take them on a fortnight's trip
to Austin, the capital of the state. She
reminded him that her viqit was draw
ing to a close, and that the time was
short in which to keep his word. Her
indulgent host readily acquiesced.
When this trip had been decided upon,
Phil Kernochan proposed that the four
should ride over to San Marcus on horse
back, it being necessary that he and his
partner should arrange some business
matters before their departure. The
proposal was received with favor.
Before setting out Miss Stafford re
paired to her room, where she arrayed
herself in the faultless riding dress with
which she had once electrified Mi^| Dal
las. As she peered into her toilet mirror
there was a grim resolve about the lines
of her mouth from which her quick
witted sex might have argued no quarter
to a rival. And it was noticeable that
the few additional hairpins with which
the lady found it necessary to secure her
raven tresses were placed in position al
most fiercely—very much as Miss Edith
might have used a harpoon upon some
creature that had excited her resentment.
When her toilet was completed, she
purveyed herself from head to foot crit
ically, but with evident approval, after
which she opened a small jewel casket
and taking from an inner recess a ring
she slipped it hurriedly upon the third
finger of her left hand. It was a solitaire
diamond, large and brilliant, and she
passed her small handkerchief across it
once or twice, catching the morning sun
light on the flashing jewel and noting
how it graced her dimpled hand. But
there was an expression in the lady's
dark eyes that was hardly reassuring.
The ring was a mere memory with
Edith—a souvenir of an attachment
from which the sentiment had long
since faded—a relic of an almost forgot
ten past. Howbeit, although she usually
wore no ring£ she permitted it to re
main upon her finger that morning, and
drawing her riding glove quickly over
the gem she joined the mounted party
at the ranch gate, where the impatient
Phil was calling loudly upon the ladies
to hurry.
After dinner that afternoon, when
Kernochan and Bruce had left them to
transact the inevitable business, and
Kate, weary with the morning's ride, had
insisted on taking a siesta in spite of the
stuffy atmosphere of the San Marcus
hotel, Edith was dominated by a sudden
energy. She leaned against a window of
the dreary parlor and gazed down the
dusty road toward the green foliage of
the river. How cool it looked there!
And what a short distance away! What
was to prevent her going there if she
would? She answered this queL%ion by
ordering the sleepy proprietor to have
her pony saddled and brought to the
front gallery at once.
Having succeeded in gaining the sad
dle unassisted, with an ease and dash
that left that worthy speechless and
staring, Miss Stafford rode quietly out
of town. When she reached the river, she
did not stop, but guiding her mustang
skillfully across the shallow ford she
turned in the shade of the trees upon the
opposite bank, taking the direction of
the DallM raach. She knew its general
poeitioto from iraittk of Bruce during
the vceek of the San Maircus biliL She
did nc* thiylr the distance great.Hardly
had she taken th« trail road when she
encountered Buck .lerrold, riding along
listless and dejected upon the gaunt
Buckshot.
The man raised his serious face and
sainted her gravely. Edith drew rein.
Just now this meeting was most oppor
tune. Did Mr. Jerrold know the dis
tance to the Dallas ranch, and would he
direct her to it? Buck stared, gave the
information in the usual blind southern
fashion, but did not volunteer any per
sonal guidance. Edith, moreover, did
not request it. But was Miss Cynthia at
home? Mr. Jerrold stared again and
reckoned she was. Miss Stafford thanked
him and dashed away in the direction
indicated, leaving the cowman gazing
solemnly after her. But as she rode
Edith reflected upon his glooxny bearing
and was not without feeling that she
was acting very generously toward him
in the utterly selfish purpose she had in
mind.
Cynthia was in her bower, whither of
late she had been much given to repair
ing. She was lying in her hammock,
swinging listlessly to and fro, her half
closed eyes dreamily regarding the ever
swaying curtain of green above her
head.
She was happy—happier than she had
ever felt or known befoire. He was safe.
He had returned. She was content.
And yet in the restful quiet jfcf the little
wood Cynthia could not trat feel a pang
of pity for the man Who had just left
her with no hope in his eyes, to whose
generous conduct much of the present
joy she felt was due.
There was the sound of a footstep
without, and the girl sprang to her feet
with a sudden flush. She put both hands
to her head as if to efface any disorder
of her tresses due to her previous atti
tude. Abroad shaft of sunlight slipping
through the branches overhead steeped
in glowing warmth her picturesque face
and figure.
A moment of expectation, and Miss
Stafford, cool, erect and fastidious, hold
ing her immaculate skirts in the gloved
fingers of her right hand, stepped within.
As she did so she toyed carelessly with
the riding whip held in her left and
gazed curiously about her. Their eyes
met. Miss Stafford bent her head coldly
and permitted Cynthia the slightest in
clination of her arched eyebrows. The
recognition of Miss Dallas was equally
cordial.
An embarrassing pause followed these
civilities. Edith was the first to break it.
"I suppose you are surprised to see me
here," she began, with more embarrass
ment of manner than she had deemed
possible. She glanced down at the whip
she held lightly between her gloved fin
gers. Cynthia remained quiet.
"The fact is, Miss Dallas," Edith re
commenced, the hesitation of her man
ner lending an apparent sincerity to her
words, "the fact is, I am going away
very soon, but I felt I could not do so
without thanking you for your kindness
to me in being so good to Mr. Bruce."
Cynthia raised her eyebrows and
stared blankly at Edith, turning her
head a little one side, very much as a
bird will when doubtful if it has heard
aright. She grew a 6hade paler, but re
plied that she war Tatified if anything
she had done hat nd favor with Miss
Stafford. If look and manner, however,
counted for anything, it was quite evi
dent that the temperature of Cynthia's
gratification was indefinitely below zero.
"I mean by your riding over to his as
sistance in the reckless fashion you did,"
Miss Stafford continued. "It was really
quite romantic and kind of you, you
know—quite what one reads about, and
I wanted to—to thank you. I told Mr.
Bruce so. I know he feels much as I do."
There was a very perceptible change
in Cynthia's manner while listening to
this ingenuous statement. Apparently
she grew several inches taller under Miss
Stafford's patronage. Her lip curled per
ceptibly, and her eyes flashed as she im
plied very decidedly that she was quite
aware what Mr. Bruce thought about it.
"Very possibly," Miss Stafford assent
ed quietly, "but I was only telling you
what he said to me. I am going away,
you know—we are both going away."
Miss Stafford emphasized the "both."
"I thought you ought to know how we
felt in the matter."
The ominous plural fell like a knell
upon Cynthia. She felt her breath grow
quick arid short, and a sudden faintness
seized her. But she did not change her
attitude. She remained gazing stead
fastly up into the beautiful face before
her. There was disdain in the brown
eyes, and she felt it.
"And so you turned yourself into
Henry Bruce's errand boy to let me
know," she replied calmly. "Well, now,
thet's kind of you, I'm sure you reck
oned I was just natch'ally lyin awake
nights to get your approval, and you
couldn't rest until you took this way of
showin it. P'raps you'll be willin to
say, Miss Stafford, how long you've been
earryin his messages and rjinnin his er
rands?"
She threw back her head and laughed
merrily as she said this—a laugh so mu
sical and clear that it seemed to ripple
upward from the very heart of joy.
Miss Stafford blushed crimson beneath
her merriment. It steeled her to adhere
to her original purpose. With a sudden
gesture she stripped off the glove upon
her left hand. The glittering facets of the
diamond she wore flashed in the broad
shaft of sunbeams that cleft the bower.
"Do you see that ring?" she demanded
coldly, suffering the fascinated eyes of
the girl to rest a.moment upon the spar
kling gem. "Perhaps that will explain
my interest in the welfare of Mr. Bruce."
She turned quickly, flashed one brief
glance of triumph upon Cynthia from
beneath her supercilious lashes and
swept haughtily out of the bower. Cyn
thia was alone with the agony of the
sudden revelation.
She put one hand to her head in a half
dazed way, as if she felt a sudden pain
there. The ground seemed slipping away
beneath her feet the horizon whirled
around her. She felt in one brief instant
as if the sunlight had gone from th$
earth, the vivid llue from the sky, and
the next she was lying prone npon the
mosses at her feet, weighed down by the'
gray, despairing monotone that seemed
suddenly to possess all things. She
pressed her hands over her eyes, burying
her face deep down in the soft lichens
as if to shut out of sight the dreadful
reality which suddenly confronted her.
Then a quick tremor shook her, and she
was crying as if her heart would break.
And so he was really engaged to Miss
Stafford. That was the end then. This
man whom she had so trusted and be
lieved had been playing a double part
with her and had called her out of the
ignorant content of her early life, only
to crash her With the new joy he had
awakened. Oh, the pity of it! And she
had Bhown she loved him so! Overcome
by the bitterness of this reflection, she
sank down again and lay there pale and
wretched, twining her fingers listlessly
in the soft mosses, her eyes fixed on va
cancy and oblivious of all' else save this
onemortifying, agonizing fact.
The moments went slowly by. The
shadows shifted on the pine strewn floor.
High overhead a squirrel that had
marked her grief dropped a cone down
upon her as if in protest. A motionless
red lizard, that: at first seemed to sym
pathize with her, leered at her from an
adjacent stone and was growing visibly
hysterical. And then this irony of na,-'
ture was dispelled by a footstep that
came quickly into the bower. The
squirrel flashed suddenly arc md a limb,
and the lizard rustled off into the thick
eti Gynthia^ raised .. her eyes. Henry
Bruce was standing over her, regarding
her with a curious, questioning glance,
She gave him no word or sign of recog
nition/ The one brief glance with which
she swept his face had in it the scorn
and contempt of the injured woman.
She sprang to her feet, dashing away
from her with a passionate gesture the
hand he had extended to her aid. Turn
ing her back upon him, she sought the
farthest corner of the bower.
Bnucewas astounded at this reception.
He took a step or two toward her and
attempted to take her hands in his. She
whipped them indignantly behind her
and faced him with flashing eyes. In
his ignorance of what had passed the
young ranchman cast about him for
some act of his that could have caused
this sudden anger.
"Cynthia," he said, breaking the si
lence, "what is the meaning of this? I
am going away on a ferief trip to Austin.
I have come to bid you goodby. Have
you no word to say to me?"
Bruce took a step nearer to her.
She waved him away with an imperi
ous gesture.
"There is no need of it," she said. "I
have received your goodbys already from
her!"
Bruce stared. He gave a surprised
glance about him. Lying at his feet
among the pine needles was a dainty
glove of undressed kid. He recognized
it instantly as belonging to Edith. In
voluntarily he stooped and picked up the
perfumed trifle. It was redolent of its
owner. He turned with a look of in
quiry to Cfiithia.
"Has Miss Stafford been here?" he
asked almost sternly. He was hardly
prepared for the icy brevity of her reply.
"Yes."
"And she told you I was going away?"
"She said you were both going," said
Cynthia simply. The words seemed to
choke her, but she recovered herself with
an effort. "She showed me the ring that
you gave her and said she wished to
thank me for my kindness to you."
In spite of herself the tears started to
the girl's beautiful eyes. An angry flush
came suddenly over the face of Bruce.
"It is strange that as one personally
interested I learn of this now for the
first," he said dryly. "Am I to under
stand that Miss Stafford told you I gave
her a ring?"
"She gave me to understand that she
was engaged to yon," said Cynthia
quickly, looking him straight in the
eyes.
Bruce took a step nearer to her.
"It is false!" he said, with white lips.
A sudden revulsion of feeling crimson
ed Cynthia's face and neck. She regard
ed him earnestly.
"False?" she whispered.
Bruce took the little brown hands in
his and looked down into her face.
"False!" he said. "Don't you know,
darling, there is but one girl in the wide
world I would be willing to. make my
wife?" She looked up at him shyly
through the tears of a moment before.
"Who is thet?" she said.
"Cynthia Dallas!"

Seven years ago our daughter Blanche, then

hands and face, which our physician pro
nounced eczema. Slie seemed to derive no bene
fit at all and if the cold air reached her face or
hands, they would swell up at once and look al
most purple, and headed blisters would form
and break, discharging a watery substance and

would
tear patches of skin
from her face and
hands. The itching was intense. We tried
many doctors and many remedies and at last
gave up the case as hopeless. But in the sum
mer of '91 our daughter Cora tried Hood's Sar

breast, which caused her much pain and diffi

bottles it
entirely disappeared.
Blanche,
who is now eleven, had spent seven years of
suffering, so I concluded to give her Hood's

June to take the medicine and at this writing
