BY SST "SOIV OF THE WIND"
A NOVKL. A WEEK!
(Continued from our last Issue.)
Presented with the practical
proposition, Blanche began to
show signs of wishing to evade it.
"Oh, dear, I hate to. She will
say we ought to wait—that we
haven't known each other long
enough." _
"But wa won't and we have.
The short time Is a distinct ad
vantage. You can tell her that."
"No, you do it." Carron would
not have made Jhat flippant re
mark to Mrs. Rader for any con
sideration, but he suspected that
the wicked girl knew lt.
"I have to see your father," he
said with great dignity.
She looked at him quaintly.
"Oh, that will Just be fun! I
can't Imagine father under such
circumstances. What do you sup
pose he will say?"
"He will say that like all sin-,
ners, 1 have great hopes of
heaven."
They used frivolous, mirthful
words, but their eyes said deeper
things to each other, and half
spoken sentences were forgotten
on their lips. She was the first
to remember the time. "Oh, how
long have we been here? And
mother may be wanting me!"
She fled, her feet rushing on
the stair. Never before, perhaps
never afterward, did they have
quite that wild music uf joy in
toes and heels.
He thought of It ln his room
that night, after the whole house
was still. Like a refrain of de
light lt recurred between the so
berer sentences of his dlsucslon
with Rader. Blanche's prophecy
had been fulfilled. It had been
fun telling the scholar. "What do
you want to do that for?" he had
demanded of the young man who
had announced himself as want
ing to marry his daughter, Car
ron, who, two weeks ago, would
have phi the same question to any
acquaintance, had been able Im
mediately to give reasons as to
why he was wiser than all men.
The scholar had. shaken his head.
"But what Is she going to say to
your profession?"
Here he had struck a point
truly; but Carron had ridden lt
down. He had snapped his fin
gers.
He blew out his candle, since
already a brightness, which sifted
into his room from without, made
the pointed flames pale. He drew
a curtain aside. The fan of cloud,
that coquetry of the moon, was
furled and gone; the sky stood
deep and clear above the pines.
The moon's self was not high
enough yet to be visible, since to
be visible from where he stood
she must reach nearly to mld
heaven, but her radiance was up
on everything.
He let the curtain fall, and
turned back. The hour was scant
11 o'clock, but the house was
still. He was not tired, rather
preternaturally wide-awake. A
bat struck his window screen.
There lt was again, that sound, a
swish and a soft thud. His cost
half off, lie turned and looked at
tentively. In a moment, up
shontlng from below, plop, the
small, dark object came a third
time. He realized now what was
happening. Some one had thrown
a clod of earth lightly against his
window pane.
CHAPTKR VII.
The Middle of the Night.
He went quickly forward and
pushed the curtain wide. Down in
the angle of black cast sj.iv the
outside stair, the figure of
Blanche Rader was standing.
He slipped through the window
and down the outside stair.
Reaching the foot of it, imme
diately his fingers were grasped
by a cool palm and he was drawn
into the shadow.
She laid a forbidding finger on
his mouth when he would have
kissed her. lie tried to clasp her,
but slippery aa quicksilver, she
retreated before him. %
"Come—this way," she mur
mured, and pulled him after her.
Half running, he followed.
"Where are we going?" he whis
pered.
"Sh-h-h! the edge of the clear
ing!"
He had ado to keep her in
sight. Now the white back of a
neck gleamed, now a band shone,
laid an instant against a tree
trunk; but chiefly he tracked her
a* an animated shadow .gliding
rapidly among shadows that were
still.

THE TAOQMA TIMES
Houae and clearing disappear
ed behind tbem. A fretwork of
white and black streamed upon
their faces. They passed tha gate
posts that rose upon their pro
gress like phantoms.
The tors of the road brought
a momentary halt.
"Won't they know we have
gone?" he asked,
"Well, we will bava gone," she
answered, and laughed. The In
consequent, reckless note made
him uneasy, yet lt excited him.
She began to walk rapidly up
the road, which stretched like a
thin white wand between high
walls of trees.
The frolic of the woodland
deity seemed to have settled into
an Intense purpose. It was car
rying her forward at a pace that
did not slacken to the crest of the
slope. Here they dipped over In
to a dimple of land.
On this side the rlae of land
the trail was easy to follow. Fif
teen minutes, and he heard a
sound lits ear recognised.
"There are horses!" he said.
"Yea."
A few steps farther and he rec
ognized Blanche's mustang,
drooping like a stole —but could
that be the chestnut —his mare?
Early ln the evening he had left
her safe in the stable.
"How did she get here?"
"Down the trail. It was quite
easy," Blanche answered. "I
brought them before dark."
He lifted her bodily into saddle
and stood holding her with both
I hands.
She leaned down, resting hers
on his shoulders. "What time is
it?" she whispered.
The white silly little face of the
timekeeper with busy hands
measuring moments was to be
their last glimpse of the common
world that night. They had left
the common world behind on the
other side of the forest, and were
riding out through the raveling
fringe of trees Into a naked and
radiant plain.
Moving In the thick atmosphere
of light Carron felt lt like a de
licious element more volatile than
water, more palpable than air,
traveling In gradual ways that
floated toward him. It was the
floodtide of night, of which she
had spoken.
Within Carron, too, tide stood,
at flood, the tide of spirit and
blood that sweeps the will, and
with lt, makes a triple strength.
Close beside him, swaying a lit
tle in the saddle, her lips in.st
parted, as if to taste the sweet
ness of the wind, she leaned Into
lt away from him, giving herself
to the bodiless, caress.
Carron was losing his exact
sense of direction. He waa un
aware of how far the objects in
the landscape had retreated from
his conscious vision, until her
hand upon his arm startled him.
He had halted before he look
ed. They had come up almost to
the foot of the wall of hills. Im
mediately ln front of him a great
pale mass of rock rose^ They
must have approached it over the
level ln a gradually slanted
course, for at no time had he seen
It In front of him.
Blanche raised her eyes. Fol
lowing her* gaze his remained
fixed. It was not In this fashion
he had expected to come to the
feet of the Sphinx.
Again Blanche's fingers touch
ed his arm. "Keep well out un
til we are on the left of her. We
can ride ln there quite close. See
that rock on the ground, the large
one with the neck? We can tie
the horses there."
It was this girl, when he had
pointed out the Sphinx from afar,
who had surveyed lt with unrec
ognlzing eyes, and turning her
back, paased it by like a clandes
tine friend ln a crowd.
Now she moved around its feet
as if the ground here were fa
miliar to her. Befor* his aston
ishment could shape Itself on his
lips she was out of saddle and
running across the Interval of
space, her shadow flying small be
neath her feet. Her feet were
climbing in the slide of atones be
fore he had done fastening tbe
horses.
He was scarcely halfway up
the ascent when he saw her reach
and catch the first firm outcrop
ping. Edging cautiously up over
treacherous-looking terraces of
mixed shale and earth, she rested
her knee and both handa on a lit
tle projecting edge; with a spring,
drew herself up; so paused, kneel
ing; and, being human, looked
dark upon the breast of the
Sphinx.
For a moment she remained
halaneed perilously against what
appeaered the sheer (ace of the
rock. In another moment she
had vanished. She seemed to
have melted into the face of the
cliff. He shouted aloud ln hor
ror. Immediately her head and
shoulders reappeared. She <vas
waiting for him.
He drew himself up beside iier,
and found her sitting on a broad
ledge of rock perhaps five MR
deep. They stood on the edge of
the window of the Sphinx, and
the short locks on his forehead
were stirred by a wind from ua
where.
The rock closed ln on three
sides of them. It was like dip
ping Into black velvet. The foot
ing was firm and only a little
slanted. He went forward easily,
keeping one hand on the solid
rock. At first he could see noth
ing. Blanche was present only
as an echo and the flutter of a
skirt; but presently he began to
distinguish the outline of her
body, moving on ln front of him,
against a faintly bright distance;
suddenly his companion stopped.
She was no longer in front of him
but beside him. In front of him
was a sheet of deep blue hazed
with white.
He saw neither what was above
his head nor beneath his feat, but
only what was in front of him,
too far to reach, yet not too far
to be real, not painted with the
colors of distance, but still over
hung by the glamor of lt — the
poetic and terrific spectacle of
the great brood of mountains.
Their multiplying summits
were all ln piercing silver light.
On their ledges and divides shad
ows like wings were folded. The
arch of the sky above him was
Immense, the canyon wus the con
verse hollow.
At first his ears had taken In
only silence. But that dwelt high
among the peaks where his eyes
had been fixed. Now he became
aware of a sound rising from be
neath. He looked down upon the
running hacks of lesser hills,
eacli outline painted by the moon.
Over these he had loohed Into the
great canyon, among these the
, river wandered and complained;
land into these the Sphinx's pedes-
Itai descended.
Again the woman stretched out
her hand and led him unhesitat
ingly.
They went down over Ion*!
shallow terraces. The moon had
sunk away until lt stood above the
Sphinx's head. The great canyon
sank behind the company of hills.
In their black hollow a bright
spot rippled like prlsmed glass.
That would be the river the moon
had caught leaping a rapid.
It was strange to come down
upon soft ground again, to fe^el lt
yield beneath his feet and see
leaves alwve his head. He was
traveling again on broad earth
down an abrupt slope, his com
panion soft-footing a pace ln ad
vance and threading rapidly
among the trees.
He had no forewarning of the
broken white which glimmered
suddenly beyond the trunks of the
pines. It was a line of boulders
tossed up ln a low irregular wall.
Blanche pressed between the
rocks or over tliem warily, look
ing back to point him a secure
foothold evidently known to her,
tried, and to be depended on.
Edging along cautiously, mov
ing her feet carefully as a cat, she
stopped and stooped, and gather
ing her skirts, crept Into an open
ing ln the rocks.
It was one of those wave-worn
caves sometimes to b* found In
the walls of mountain rivers, in
spring covered by the water
which now ran some four feet be
low. As he followed her into
the black hole, sliding feet first,
he could feel Its sides rough and
clean as coral; but earth had
been loosely sprinkled over Its
surface, and dry moss pulled up
by the roots, was drawn about the
entrance, and once they were both
in, she pulled It up In a heap, hid
ing half tho opening, leaving room
enough for their eyes to look out.
The floor of the cave was al
most level, so that as they lay
stretched upon It, they could look
out to the opposite band, or down
Into the river.
The air, sick for vibrations,
was vibrating by Its own empti
ness. Like a gong, it assailed the
senses in wares, at first beating
in upon tbem from without. Then
as Carron stretched his ears to
hear above It, a light faint noise
at some distance made all the vi
brations cease.
It rang first as a single dull
I.low struck like a challenge
among the mountains. Now It
multiplied, growing louder. Spaces
of earth sounded like a drum be
neath the tread. Again, among
stones, th* ringing was clear and
sharp. To those proud feet si
lence was a thing to strike echoes
from.
j The sound of the approach set
the listener's heart to its measure
—rhythmic, wild, Irregular, a rou
lade of liberty beaten out upon
the earth. Carron was shaking
like a man with a chill. But ths
girl lay aa still as moonlight,
though she looked as pale, and
her eyes were large with expec
tation of delight.
i A rapid trot sounded Just with
in tbe last fringe of pines. A
shadow ran out from the trees
and rested, quivering, on th*
bright ground, and the moon
shone on a black forelock and
pricked ears.
The horse paused at the upper
edge of the clearing and lifted
his bead high. He looked large,
and doubly large, being alone.
He began to advance down the
rocky floor at a gait a little faster
than a walk. An undulating mo
tion went through the whole body
as If the hoofs trod air. The
mane waved with lt, the tail
drifted like a plume. Carron
could see the quick ripple of mus
cles under tbe satin skin. That
was the back that had never felt
weight, the neck like a bow that
►had never bent except at its own
will.
At the lip of the water he
stooped his head, stretched out
his neck, shining while the mane
blew In a veil against it, put muz
zle in the current and drank.
CHAPTER VIII.
The Man ln Saddle
Color of night was draining out
of the sky when the rldeYs took
horses again at the foot of the
Sphinx. And the pulses of the
man too were at ebb. Memories
disappeared and appeared again
—Son of the Wind as he had ad
vanced down the slope toward the
water, sides of silk for knees that
dared to press them, head bent
waywardly sldewlse, at play with
its own liberty, and the slow un
dulation of the mane.
Once the eye had seen, the brain
seized Its object. Carron was ln
saddle; and though fancy pictured
Son of the Wind in the citadel of
tha canyon, or speeding among
mountains beyond possible human
ways, the persistent phantom
would not be unseated.
They went ln by the outside
stair. In his room objects were be
ginning to show themselves. Last
night they had worn brocade of
white and black. Looking at them
he had thought of Blanche. Now
he looked at her, and thought of
something else. He took her
wrists and laid her hands against
his shoulders. She leaned upon
him exhausted, looking up with
confident eyes.
"How did you find it?" he said.
"I didn't. It was a chance. This
country is my garden. Sometimes,
at full moon when I can't sleep, I
am all about it. One of those
times I went farther than I ever
had before and saw what I showed
you tonight."
"Have you ever shown lt to any
one else?" he asked.
Her eyelids fluttered. "No—
never. I didn't mean to show it to
you; but you are just myself. I
had to show you my passesston."
"Your possession?" The way
she used that word was strange.
"Yes, he Is mine. He's mine the
way my thoughts are. He is the
only thing I have ever known that
couldn't be tied and held by the
common things in the world.
When he moves he doesn't seem
to touch earth."
Carron looked at her dully.
"There will not be another like
him." she Bald. "These wonderful
things don't happen twice."
"No," he answered. This was

By John Reed Scott.
something he could understand. It
seemed to htm an oracle had
spoken. He took her to tha door
of her room, kissed her on the
forehead and left her.
The aun came Ilka an enemy
and surprised him sitting on the
edge of his bed, his head aunk In
his hands, while his brain repeat
ed over and over: "Why need she
know of It? Why need ahe know?
Why need she know?"
Ha started at the significance
of this, too surprised to reflect!
that these were words any man
might speak of any woman in any
affair. The Idea was fundamental.
It streamed upon his mind like
tlie day Into his room.
What a fool he was sitting here
in the sodden garments of yester
day while the hours of today ran
past him. High Impossibilities lay ]
between him and his object, but I
nothing looked too high for him
now.
He rose and wrote a message to
Esmeralda Charley.
Unwashed, unshaven, with last
night's dust and clay still upon
him. he came out of the house In
to the cool, yellow light. He made
the stage, as lt came up from the
dip of the creek bed. He mounted
nimbly on the wheel, and Inquired j
whether the driver would havej
time at the end of his journey to I
do a kindness for a stranger.
The autocrat on the high seat,
looking the young man over, in
quired what it might be.
It appeared to be this: To take
a message to a half-breed by name
Esmeralda Charley. This Indian
had orders to meet every stage
that came In, and he obeyed or
ders. But tha fellow couldn't
read; and If the driver would lie
so good as not only to deliver the
paper, but to read lt to the man,
Carron would remain his debtor
for life.
The driver, opening the paper
then and there, read the message
aloud to the tree-tops.
Take stuff out of storage, and
bring it, with the horses, over the
watershed, past the first fork of
the road, and through the gup In
to the next canyon. I will l>e
waiting on the road. Be there by
li, r CARItOX. .
The drlved cocked his eye at
the name. "F. Carron? Rancho i
Caballo?"
Carron admitted it.
The man extended his hand. S
"Put lt there." When the cere
mony was over—"See that off
leader?" he inquired. "Best
i horse I ever had. Mouth ain't .
spoiled nor his temper. Busted
on the Rancho Caballo."
