And yet, how could he know that the Senora had made such a prom- ise to her.

Tracy rode far, taking a seldom traveled trail that led to the hills. She followed an arro o that ran between rock cliffs, en climbed the trail to a crest overlooking a small valley.

Reining in, she suddenly stifl- ened. Below and across the valley stood two saddled horses. The riders had dismounted and were beside a spring bubbling irom a iormation of rock. Jim Conroy and Ruth Garrison.

Tracy watched them, felt s tight. ening in her chest. Jim was sup- porting: Ruth as the girl leaned over tie spring to drink. Now Ruth
