for moment and then turned back to the patio passing uurough tlie front door to his biplane ho felt singularly depressed in spirit as lie revvcel up his motor with single wave to the grim figure in

blue he looked down ulth regret in his eyes upon tlie hacienda which had once been his home he saw tlie vaqueros sitting on their horsey here and there among the depressed cattle he saw the bright pllmmcr as one of tlie men re moved his watch from his pocket to learn the hour then one of the steers bellowing no loudly that lloyd could liear it even above tlie thunder of his motor started to charge in blind reckless abandon to ward that faraway blutf lloyd guess ed the reason that cowboy removing his uatch had been the cause tlie flash of sliver load frightened thii animal tlie big steer ran headlong against another there was swirl of dust the whale herd began to move like lava across the flat mcu tlie vuqueros drove in from the sides trylni to curb the mad riot they mignt as uell hac
