She arrives by train and waits for the station wagon from Wagon Wheel Ranch to pick her np. After a long wait, Len Henley, of Congress Junction, picks her op, and drives her to his trailer house, where she eats breakfast Henley decides that Mary should put up at a hotel in Phoenix from which she can roam around and ecure accommodations at tome dude ranch. Bin Burdan, owner of the Wagon Wheel, had gone to HamUton Henley, Sr., for a loan. After Burdan left his office Healey purchased via phone the Burdan notes and collateral from the State Bank of Arizona. CHAPTER HI i She obeyed, took a few sips and as a desert raven glanced fluttered into the water and started to drink. "Is that a crow? she asked. "No, that is a desert raven. Didnt you hear him croak like Poes raven Nevermore? He assisted her to her feet Everything is in order, he announced, "and you are acceptable to the Spirit You drank from the Hassyampa and the Spirit sent his raven to light in the water above you, thus inducing you to gaze The legend has It that if you drink and gaze upstream you will never leave Arizona, whereas, if you drink and gaze down-streayou will never tell the truth again. Of course, if you turned out to be a pathological liar youd have to go home or be blacklisted. 'Tm so glad I won. What are you doing with that rock in your hand? "I saw that raven fluttering around, uncertain whether to land or down. If he had started down-streaI was going to throw this rock at him and head him upm m picion that Henley, senior, deserved He some mild adverse criticism. certainly looks far more prosperous than his son. That car cost at least four thousand dollars and I notice he has a uniformed chauffeur. Arrived in Phoenix he pulled up in front of a hotel and, leaving her seated in the car, he disappeared inside. The clerk reported the hotel one hundred per cent full, but Mr. Henley was not disappointed, for he had anticipated that He went to a house telephone and called a room, announced himself and was instructed to come upstairs immediately to Suite A. A handsome, middle-age- d woman met him at her door, took him in her arms and kissed him twice. These osculations he returned with interest and then said very solemnAunt Margaret you have ally, ways professed considerable affection for me. You great gladiator, I love you. Youre practically my boy, arent you? Didnt your mother beg me, when she was dying, to look after you? Of course youve never given me the ghost of an opportunity to look after you, but Ive always been standing by, ready to try. Your patience is about to be rewarded, darling. Ive found the most wonderful girl in the world, there are only two hotels in this city fit Oh! So you want me to remain in Arizona? "I love my native state and yearn to see it do well in the matter of immigration." But I must go home in the spring. The Spirit of the Hassyampa is a broad-minde- d little gnome and perfectly willing to permit his children to make little trips here and there for business and pleasure, but he does insist that they vote in Arizona. So, go back to New York if you must, but remember youll re- Will you be here when I return, Don Leonardo? If Im living Ill meet you at the depot. In fact the moment I saw you at Sughuaro I had a feeling that meeting you might develop into a f: D ! idence to visit some sort of misery upon me. He took her arm and led her n back to the truck and she paused at the trailer, climbed up on a wheel and looked in at the two horses. This chestnut with the silver points is a beauty, she said. Very well, Pablito shall be your horse when you visit my ranch and I have a fine silver mounted stock saddle that used to belong to my mother. It will fit you. I assume you can ride." I belong to a hunt club in Virginia and ride to hounds. Where shall we ride in Arizona? She saw something in his eyes that sent a tremor through her. Over the mountains of the moon, he answered enigmatically, and did not speak to her again for ten minutes. When he did he said: Im worried about finding hotel accommodations for you. Miss Sutherland. During the winter season our best and second best hotels are crowded, and for the next three days guests will be sleeping in the halls on cots. I may have to secure a room for you in some respectable private home. She had a mad impulse to inform him she would be glad to walk the aL treets all night provided he walked her. She was almost dizzy ' with delight and didnt want to be bothered by minor problems. Whatever you do is right, Don Leonardo, Im not a demandshe answered. ing woman nor am I a complaining one. When you volunteered to rescue me this morning you let yourself in for something, so the worry is all yours." A motor horn sounded behind them and a long, sleek, expensiye sedan, with the top down slid up alongside and held steady with them, while a handsome iron-gra- y man leaned out and waved at Len Len and shouted Hi, boy! Henley waved in return and shouted: Hi, old settler! Then the iron-graman spoke to his chauffeur and the car slid away, from Len Henleys nondescript caravan. He was going to stop and have a chat with you, Mary said, ,but when he saw me he changed his mind. He seemed terribly glad to see you. That was my father, he told her.

Start in at the beginning and tell me everything, Len. No shooting in the dark for your old Aunt Maggie. So he told her everything, and added. You have a spare chamber in your suite, havent you? You know I have. Youve occupied it often enough. Now what is this all about? May this girl friend of mine occupy it? How long? Until she can find accommodations at some local dude ranch. You know how women are. They have to shop around a little. Well, since an emergency exists she may occupy my guest room. Ill lock it off from the remainder of my suite, and telephone the clerk to assign her to it and give her the key. When my mother picked a friend she picked one, he declared. Aunt Margaret, youre the lily of the valley. You seem unduly excited about this young lady; Len. Youll be crazy about her. Do I have to meet her, darling? I knocked on her door just after the boy brought her up, Len, and when she opened it I asked if everything was all right in her room and did she need any more towels. She didnt need any more towels but shed like a maid to help her unpack. So I volunteered for that job, because I maintain one lady can always recognize another by her wardrobe. And, of course, I got a 'good look at her and we chatted some. Evidently she thought I was the housekeeper, because she tipped me a dollar and as if the tip wasnt enough she thanked me and told me I was very kind. Did you take her dollar? Of course.
