The cowboys, Lndd and Leah, rm. hired at once upon their arrival at Tom Balding’: ranch, and Gale also got a Job. He told Belding that his father had been disappointed in his eflortatogokutobusinellllldthat be had. come west to seek his fortune independent of the cider Gale.

Mrs. Balding at first append add- ing the young man tc the ranch stafl on the ground that her daugh- ter Ncll. Beldingk stepdaughter, might fall in love with him, and Dick was indeed undoub at- tracted to the girl when aha und up the hand he had injured in his attack on Rojas, but Belding was impressed by the story the cowboys told of the encounter in the Cusita tavem and hired tbe youth.

Balding, besides ' ' _ fine nora- es on his oasis ranch in the midst o1 the desert along the border, was also a government officer appointed to watch for Chinese and Japanese smuggled over the line. The two cowboys-and Gale accordingly rang- ed about the place. keeping an eye on the border, especially as 'ebel raiders often crossed and Balding was afraid that they would try to steal some of his stock.

One night, weeks after he had aken his new job, Gale saw tluee ylcxicans about a camp fire. They were evidently members of a "ald- ing band and were in their way with a group of stolen horses back across the border.

Dick was riding one of Beldings white horses—Blanco Sol—-..nd "Gus anxious to give the horse a diiQt. but the Mexicans .- .- camped around the only wcll ii the neigh- borhood Hc waited all night watch- ing for the raiders to leave, but when dawn came and they started their breakfast fire he saw two Indians riding toward them on burros.

One was a Papago and the other a Yaqui, the latter evidently badly hurt or ill. From his vantage point on a hill Gale saw the two Indians pass around a knoll, and come sud- denly up on the Mexicans.

One of the latter seized a gun and fired point blank at the newcomers. His third shot knocked the Papago from his burro. and the Yaqui, who had been helped to retain his seat by his companion, fell too.

The leader of the.ralders' vaulted on to one of the horses and tried to ride down the fallen Yaqui. Gale remembered what he had heard of the Mexicans’ hatred for the Yaquis. He could bent no more. He took a quick shot at the rider. He missed the Mexican, but hit the horse. which fell, giving its rider a stun- ning fall.

The two other raiders fled to cover and the horses they had captured ran away with the Indians’ burrcs.

Gale approached the Yaqui. The Indian was still alive.

"Gringo good -- no kill." he said.

The other Indian was dead and Gale, putting the Yaqui across Blanca 501's saddle. took him to the Balding house

IV.

Meanwhile the Beldings took care of Mercedes and it was expected that soon Theme would come, marry the girl and leave. But Belding be- gan to consider it ‘--- ‘ for Thorne to carry Mercedes through a country overrun on both sides of the border with rebels and raiders.

He suggested that ‘Ihornc and the others settle down at Lonesome River. for he had great faith in the future of the area and Gale had devised a. schem for damming the stream and supplying water. The cowboys were stirred by the plan and cach staked out a claim for himself.

But no word came from Thorpe. He was soon expected to get leave and come to the ranch, but the Beldings lived far from the post of- fice, and Tom forbade anyones tak- ing an unnecessary risk in crossing a country where hostile bands might be roving.

Dick was failing more and more in love with Nell, but the girl gave him little chance to court her. Sht was constantly with Mercedes who was grieving at lack of word from Theme.

One day Nell came to Dick and frankly asked him to go to Casita to find out what had become of the

man.

"Mercedes is dying by inches.‘ she said. "Just a word from Tome or about him would save her."

But Dick refused to make the trip. -

“Aer you iifraid?" Nell asked

,' Wife Who Stands by Until Husband Recovers

From Infotua ‘on for Gold-Digger is Sure to ‘Get Him ck, if She Wants Him- Rosy Future Based on a Fairy Tale — Whzztéltgmlzlfell Adopted

l, ,

Dear Miss Dix-My husband is U yours old. Inst Simmer a fl-yvll-Qll girl went tc work for him and theyfell in love with each other. Person- ally. I think the girl's sax appeal gave my husband a new thrill and tint it , . wiilaJlwearoff.,I-Iehimse1fadmitsthat itis probably infatuation on his part. The girl his not a good reputation. Strangely enough, the girl's mother dogs all she can to encourage theaffair. Asks him to her house all the time. Cooks up good things for him to eat. Even went so far as to tell him that if he would take out separation papers he could stay at her housc all he wanted to.

My friends think I am crazy not to leave my husbandJbut I love him more than anything in the world. I realize he has done wrong, but I don't think he is altogether to blame. Don't you think that if I stick to him through this affair he will love me more than ever after it is over _.and will do everything he can to

make me happy? DESPERATE WIRE.

Answer:

You are meeting a. dangerous situation _,, _ and if you will Just stand tc your guns you will win out. Nine women out of tén lost their husbands under similar circumstances, because when the Other Woman comes along they haven't the nerve and the

with co and wisdom

backbone and the sensejo put up a ftght for their own . They ‘lilo down and quit without striking a. lick and let her walk off with er prey. .

The wife always has one trump card in her hand. 'i‘hat is her mar- riage certificate. Her husband can't divorce her as long as she behaves herself, and the Other Woman can't marry him unless she does. ‘that fact alone should make even a Jealous wife think a long time before she goes to the divorce court and so hands her husband over to her rival.

Evidently your husband must be well off, or else the girl and her mother would not be pursuing him so hotly. For mothers have an even keener spent for money than have gold-digging flappers. They are tryingtc force you to divorce him so that the girl can marry him and they can get their greedy hands on his pocketbook, but you can, at least. balk part of their plans by just sitting steady and holding your own.

Of course, your husband doesn't showup in a very heroic fight as the easy mark for a sexy flapper and a predatory old woman. and God only knows why a woman like you wants to bother with him, for with his weakness for the flesh you will probably spend the remainder or your life protecting him and pulling him out of scrapes.

_ But the point is that you do love him and you can save him. in the coures of time he will get tired of philandering and settle down into the most devoted of husbands and will forget that he ever loved any other woman but you. For it is a curious thing that a man can break his wife's heart with the little affairs and still be absolutely faithful to her in his heart.

and

There are two good reasons for a wife's sticking to a phllandering husband instead of throwing him overboard as he deserves. The chief one l5 that she does not secure her happiness by divorcing him if she loves him. The decree absolute does not heal the hurt in heu- heart, nor fill the lonely places in her life, and she is less unhappy having a little of his society than she is entirely separated from him.
