BEGIN HERE TODAP
Blaze KKildare of Wyoming,
hunts the murder of his young
brother. He finds his man at the
ranch of Buck Bodine in Paradise
Valley and shoots him dead. Kil- 1
dare falls in love with Mercedes, ,
a beautiful Basque girl, and helps {
her find the murderer of her fath- I
er, Dick Acklin builds a dam and ■
deprives the Basques of their wa- {
ter supply. Bodine makes a bomb
that destroys the dam when the
Basques launch it.
“To say goodby.”
“I reckoned you would,” The red
haired one paused. Nothing but the
hope of seeing Blaze had brought
him to town, but he would have de
nied it most profanely had he been
accused of it. “I may not see you
no more,” he went on. “I’m goin’
to Kelly Creek tonight. I stopped
in Paradise on the way down. Your
horse is all right. 1 put that long
rope of mine on your saddle.
Thought you might like it.”
Blaze climbed to his seat in the
stage to hide his embarrasnient. He
knew the reata Melody referred to;
his favorite for many years, a finely
woven Mexican. He wanted to
thank- him, but he did not know how
to express his gratitude. He put his
head through the open window and
said banteringly, “I’ll buy you a
drink for that if you’re here when I
get back.
Melody knew, as well as a man
can know a thing, that Blaze was
really telling him he appreciated the
rope, and that he would repay him
some day without countins, the cost
to himself, either.
“Come easy, go easy,l’ he flung '
back at lv ■ friend. “Don’t you go ;
spending all your wages for liquor. )
Costs a lot of money to ride the |
trains these days.”
The stage started then. Melody
did not doubt for a moment that this
was goodby. Blaze waved his hand
to him.
“Well, don’t get hurt,” the freck
lefaced man called to him. It was a
stupid remark, but it served to erase
the emotion from his face.
Late afternoon found Blaze on the
'well-known trail to the Rancho.
Three days are almost too short a
time for even nature to work her |
miracles, byt even so the precious ;
vvater was giving full promise of thej
days to come. i
Henaro Mariano, and Tersa, and
one or two of the old hands had ;
come back to work. The Hood-torn
debris was being removed. There |
was hopefulness and courage in the
air. Blaze saw that the patio which
had been Jose’s pride had received
marked attention. This last was Mer.
cedes’ doings; her first relaxation in
weeks. She rested now on the steps
where Acklin had given her the for
gotten vanity ' ase. Blaze was al
most beside her before she became
aware of him
“Senor!” It Was a cry of glad
ness, accompanied by a loo’; ton
left Blaze all a-tremble.
“You didn’t think I would „g?
with-out coming to sr I' mdby? ’
Mercedes shook her head.
I “No,” she said, ‘ I know’you come.
The Rancho begins to look lil; ' old
times, eh? You bear that th" Seno,
Acklin offer us part of the 'lam?"
“Yes; Melody told me. It’s won
derful! You’ve won your flight. Has
Kent gone home?”
“No, Senor. He is upstairs with
Esteban. My brother be glad to see
. you.”
They turned at the sound of pat
tering feet. Basilio had heard his
i big friend's voice. Blaze caught hold
of him.
“You come back to stay, Senor
j Blaze?” the child questioned.
“No, no, little chief.--. I’ve got t,
■go home, to Wyoming. J came to
; say goodby.”
Basilio crept closer to hiHi.
“Em going to miss you, bld-tim
er.” Blaze added unevenly. \
“Why you go away then? I want
you to stay.”
Blaze smiled. My Man had edged
his way to his master’s side.
“You're going to be real lonesome
{for me, little chief?”
The child nodded his head.

"He’ll sort of make up for the loss
of me, won’t he?”
“You’re going to give him to
1 me, Mr. Blaze?”
, “He’s yours little chief. I’ll leave
; him in Paradise. You be good to
I him.”
He lifted Basilo to My Man’s back.
When he turned to Mercedes, she
was looking away. She knew the
sacrifice he made in parting with
My Man.
A few steps about the patio on the
horse’s back, and Mercedes hade Ba
silio tell Terese that the Senor
would stay for supper. When they
were alone, Mercedes searched the
eyes of the man who sat beside her.
What a lot he had dared for her!
Didn’t he know that she loved him?
Why didn’t he speak?
Mercedes failed to realize that her
very nearness rendered Blaze al
most speechless.
‘1 hate to leave,” he muttered at
last, ‘and right along I’ve been tell
ing myself I’d mighty well pleased
to get home if Mooney went back,
too. Did you eve!* get mistaken
about yourself like that?”
Mercedes did not answer lest her
voice should betray her.
“Pm awfully blue,” Blaze went
on. “In spite of all the trouble and
the fighting, J've been happier here
than ever before in my life. I’ve
been trailing Mooney for two years.
I’ve kept my word with the Kid.
When their trial’s over, I’ll be
through. I’ll go back to my ranch.
But no matter; I’m gojng to be
{homesick for Paradise Valley and
{you.”
“Homesick for me?” Mercedes
{ queried in broken tones.
{ Blaze looked away, but he nodded
his head.
“Yes, Mercedes. I’m going to
miss you.”
My Man whinned as Blaze
stopped.
“I’m going to miss him, too. And
he ll miss me. I want you to ride
him once in a while, Mercedes.”
“I’ll be very good to him,” she
whispered in hushed tones. ‘J 11
keep him until you come back, Seflor
Blaze”. She stopped short andgot
{ up. “You will be—coming back, eh.
-Senor?”
{ Blaze caught the not of fear, of
| concern, in her question; but be
{failed to take advantage of it. In
{ stead he murmured unhappily: “I’ll
Ibe coming back some day, but when
! quien sabe?” ,
This was not at. all what he want
ed to say. nor was it entirely the
truth. He had a. very definite idea of
when be would be coming back. He
. nted ’ > tell her so; to ask Tier to
care for him, and to wait until he
came hack. To his credit, he was
not well expei’-eneed in the ways of
love. The modesty of the man was
his b---t virtue. So lie pretended no!

to understand, to be surprised: when
it was only because he could not be
lieve that happiness, such as having ,
he - meant, was to be his. Mer
cedes was so close so lovely. She |
seemed so well poised, so at ease, ;
that his own confusion was only ■
magnified by comparison. His ha- ;
bitual and often tested composure .
had deserted him in his hour of ■
need. Blaze wa truly miserable,)
and in an evident attempt to stem!
his own feelings, he resorted to the ;
bantering tone that had served him
so well in his man-world.
“And what will I find when I do
come back?” He tried to laugh good
naturedly. Mercedes bowed he;
head. Blaze pm a hand on each of
her shoulders. “I’ll ask Kent ,or
somebody, how Mercedes is, and >
they’ll say, ‘Huhph! She’s a big j
lady now. She’s got a new name!’
Maybe it will be Ugarde, or Rodri
gues, or Liotard! Yes, sir! That’s
what they say. I'll look at my
old gray hair—how time flies! But .
I'll find you. And there you’ll be a I
great lady with three or four black- j
haired kiddies of your own!”
Mercedes shook her head. Her j
eyes were misty, but she smiled. , {
“No!” she murmured. ‘I don’t
think so; not tho- e kids.”
This was Mercedes of old.
“Yes, you will!” Blaze grinned.
“The Fight man will come along,
querida. You look sharp so that he
don’t get by.”
“Huh!” she muttered. ‘I look
sharp all right. But he don’t.”
“He?”
“Si! That right man! He's so blind
like a bat. But maybe he don’t want
to sec Basques girl. Still, if he comes
back—with his gray hairs—l’ll be
here. Arrascada! That’s a good
name. I’ll keep it.” She forced a
tantalizing smile to her face as she
went on: “You won't have to waste
no time then when you come.”
Once before, in that very patio,
they had looked into each other’s
eyes as they did now. Blaze saw
there what he should have, seen long
ago.
“Oh, querida mia,” he breathed.
Whatever else he intended to say
was smothered in Mercedes’ hair. He
caught her un his arms and held
her to him. There was color in her
face again; her lips red for his
kisses.
“I’ll be coming back,” she heard
him say.
From a distance, it seemed, came
her low, wild, tomboy laugh. He

was wafted in spirit again to that
unforgetable day on the river. She
was speaking, and even her voice
was reminiscent of that afternoon.
“I guess maybe,” she managed to
say, with a defiant little toss of her
head, “Mercedes will have those
three, four black-haired kids any
how, huh?”
: Minutes passed as they sat there
| without speaking. The shadows be
' gan their evening tryst. Peace and
! happiness settled down upon the pa
{tio.
In a room above, some one lighted
a lamp. It’s mellow glow reached the
man and girl on the steps. His arm
held her closer for a second and
then relaxed. Mercedes laughed
liquidly. From it’s accustomed place
, she caught up her guitar and
I crooned a plaintive little Spanish
I love-song in a voice for Blaze’s ears
alone:
If the stars in the sky far above you
Have brought you, beloved, to me,
{lf, in their wisdom, they’ve chosen
you,
i How then, can I help loving thee?
I How then, can I help loving thee?
“La-la-la-la-la-la-la” throbbed the
' guitar. Blaze closed his eyes. This
was the end of the trail! Life be
gan anew here.
Atear stole down Mercedes’
check. Happiness had overwhelmed
her. The morrow no longer threaten
ed. She was readv for the dawn.
