But whatever the mystery, the key to all of it must be in Bowie's hands; the thought left her prostrated. She felt an impulse to send at once for him, to learn everything; but the sequel might be dreadfully embarrassing. Then the happier thought occurred that grizzly old Ben Pardaloe might know something, perhaps everything. The longer she pondered, the more she felt sure that to him she must turn. Whatever there was of fact in Monica's story might be learned from him. Fired by her shock and uncertainty, unable to sleep that night, so distrait next day that Dona Maria chided her, yet tortured by her conviction that Monica was right and determined to resolve her doubts, Carmen made an excuse the second day to take Pedro and Maria and the to waylay go to Monterey Asking in Monteold stage driver. rey at the stage barn, she learned be in late in would that Pardaloe She lunched with her the afternoon.

Be careful-say it when she is alone. Say: I hunger for strawberries." Sanchez stared. The message was the strangest. But the shining gold coin laid in his hand was quite comprehensible. He repeated his lesson until Bowie was satisfied he had it straight and dismissed him. ‘Put up your horse and go get some supper. Start tomorrow morning at two o'clock. Ride fast or I shall overtake you. Tell Senorita I said this. But do you understand? Be careful no one hears you." Late that night, long after the house was quiet, Carmen lay dreaming when she thought she heard a low voice without her window humming her Spanish air, ‘‘Go Ask the High Stars Gleaming.'"' A delicious feeling crept over her as she lay and listened. She scrupled even to listen - it seemed like forbidden fruit; but, like forbidden fruit, very sweet. It was Henry Bowie, she knew for certain. None but a madman would have essayed that song on the rancho at midnight. He had ridden hard all day to sing late at night. She sat up in bed and thought. Some acknowledgment she must make. She tiptoed stealthily to her dresser, found a candle, lighted it, and crept toward her window. All that Bowie saw was a white arm canlighted a slowly extended and dle set cautiously within the pane.

Once opened, he could read it at a glance. But what did it imply? He thrilled at the signature. Certainly Carmen could not be engaged to marry the bald Spaniard.

"It would be an added honor." retorted Bowie. He took the laugh that went around with entire composure and, turning, asked Carmen whether she would not now go ferning. "I know where there are some rare specimens," he declared. But Carmen had already colored rather more than she liked and declined further excursion. Riding home, Don Vicente took the post of honor at Carmen's side, but she carried in her arm, almost ostentatiously, Bowie's roses. Bowie had dropped into the cavalcade carelessly after losing Carmen, but he clung jealously to her book and shawl. He presently found himself, somewhat to his disgust, riding at the side of Tia Ysabel, and he did not escape unscathed. "Don't they make an admirable couple?"' she asked, looking ahead at Carmen and Don Vicente, whom she had managed to drag into her voluble talk. "I like Don Vicente so much. Of course, he is much older. But he is wealthy. And of such a fine family. They ought to be very happy together,'' she sighed. "Do you mean to say that they are engaged to be married?" demanded her much-nettled escort. Aunt Ysabel spoke guardedly and rather low to be the more impressive.

And despite her efforts to busy herself in things around her, Carmen faded in health and spirits. Not until Pedro came to her, hat in hand, one day in the spring with brief news did she revive. ‘‘Senorita," he said, "Sanchez and I, we were over at the valley of thepines yesterday, lookin' for cattle. Senorita, the strawberries are red."' She was sewing in the patio, her thought far from her fingers. She sprang to her feet. ‘"‘Muchas gracias, Pedro, muchas gracias.
