• ns Alalre and Dave rode back
toward Las Palmas. How or when
Alaire Austin came to feel that this
man loved her, she never knew. Cer-
tainly she knew tonight, and, strange
In say. the knowledge did not disturb
her. Alaire had been repelled by Luis
Longorio’s evident love for her, but
a similar emotion In this man’s breast
had quite the opposite effect. She was
eager for frietiuship, hungry for affec-
tion. starved for that worship which
every woman lives upon. Having a
wholesome confidence In her own
strength of character, and complete
faith In Law’s sense of honor, she was
neither alarmed nor offended.
For the first time In years she al-
lowed her intimate thoughts free ex-
pression and spoke of her hopes, her
interests and her efforts; under the
spell of the moonlight, she even con-
lldcd something about those dreams
that kept her company and robbed her
World of its sordidness. Dave Law
discovered that she lived in a fanciful
land of unrealities, and the glimpse
he gained of it was delightful.
Supper was waiting when they ar-
rived nt Las Palmas, and Dolores an-
nounced that “Young Ed” had tele-
phoned from the Lewis ranch that he
would not he home. Yielding to a sud-
den Impulse, Alalre said to her com-
panion :
“You must dine with me. Dolores
will show you to n room. I will be
ready in half an hour.”

Then, half to herself, the woman mur-
mured, “Yes, you have a heart.”
“I beg pardon?”
“Nothing. I'm glad you like her.”
"Do you mind If I call her something
else than Rosa, just to myself?”
“Why, she’s yours! Don’t you like
the name?”
"Oh, yes! Rut—see !’’ Dave laid a
finger upon Montrosa's forehead. “She

her that—The Lone Star.”
