Now bring me Quince. At that Sonya felt the world go round for one terrible second. She clutched the chair back tightly. And from somewhere at the right there came the sound of marching feet, the swift step of men obeying a master. Through the dappled shade cast by the poplar trees five figures moved Into her line of vision, four who walked abreast la twos and In their midst a fifth Starr Stone as she had seen him last, In cowboy boots and dungarees belted at his lean hips, a faded denim shirt lie half sobbing. "Forgive you? I glory In you I And well go together, never fear! If not one way, then another. It will not be a long good-by- , I promise you." "Souls covenant," said Starr Stone. Souls covenant, she answered. But here El Capitan leaped to his booted feet, his fist on the table again. It will not? be rasped. You think It will not? Carramba! El Capitan Diablo has yet the final word. You to the winds and the vultures, Quince, and may you remember many things In the the Interval. "You, he turned to Sonya and leveled a finger at her, "I give to that one among my men who rises to this Quinces empty place. ManI uel, my compliments, the lady. believe you like a woman with curls In the hair. And after you the rest. And that, as they say across the Border, Is that. Take them both away." The four men moved to surround their prisoner, the marching feet passed swiftly, and Sonya watched the tall bronze head go out of the shade Into the sun around a corner. The world and all It held turned dark before her just as the senora reached out a motherly arm.

"Senor," he said. Senor," said El Capitan, and the smile By VINGIE E. ROE 4 Co., Tn. was gone from It his face. was black with fury. For five years, Quince, you have been with me my best and ablest man. You have done my bidding quickly. You have led my raids. You have put my merchandise safely through Its secret ways. I have called and you have come, always. Always until lately. Lately you have come on laggard feet You have held back at my orders. You have disobeyed me. And I have now the reason. That reason Is a woman. A woman whom you have set before El Capitan Diablo. Whose word has been more to you than my word. Who, through your Instruction doubtless, has come upon the key of my activities. Who has caught Quntro with the goods lu his own store. Who holds Diablo and all his future In the hollow of her hand Or would so hold him had It cot been for Quatros swift action In the mutter. Senor behold the woman He had half risen again, leaning with one broad hand on the table. With the other he pointed dramatically to Sonya. And like a flash Starr Stone whirled and saw her. It was the first Inkling he had had that she was not safe In her own country, and her own pursuits, and the shock of It drained his lace to 1 a ghastly pallor. his lips formed soundSonya 1 lessly.

"Oh, Americans! do not double-cross- And Americans self? The tall man standing In the mottled shade looked long In his masters face. What years of wrongdoing, of obedience, of fenr, were In that look only they two might say. For a long time It held between the wild blue eyes, the deadly black ones. Then Starr Stone turned to Sonya. "A misstep lu my early youth It doesnt matter now what It was put me In the power of El Capitan I uibh. For my freedoms sake I cast In my lot with him.

For herself she asked scant favor. It had been always so with her. Service to her fellow men, comfort for all suffering things, had been her passionate aim In life. Of herself she thought last and least, of Starr Stone most. If only they had met In those early days of which he spoke, before that one misstep had put him In El Dlablos power, made him an outlaw, a Border renegade. When the sweetness, the kindness. In him had been paramount. Before sin and wrong had put the leopard spots upon him. But the spots were changed at last when It was too late. To his face he had repudiated El Capitan, signed his own death warrant, for anyone leaving the dark service of this monstrous bandit put himself on the spot as truly as any In more modern places. And he had done It deliberately, to prove to her that he was changed even to the death. The courage which had shone In his face at that repudiation had been magnificent.

El Capitan had spoken, and she was still a prisoner, the property of a dapper Mexican bandit with predatory eyes and laughing, thin lips, Manuel the aviator. And Starr Stone was gone oh, heaven) Gone to that ghastly fate which lurked In the poignant words, "you to the winds and the vultures," The wild blue eyes that had darkened and changed under the mandates of life, the long hands with their tender touch, the lips so warm upon her own! And presently the senora came padding softly to the door on heavy feet, for she was old and excellently fed, and entered to her kindly ministrations. Sonya whirled and faced her, her dark eyes burning in the shadows. "Senora," she said desperately, "have pity on met Can you not help nie? A knife, senora with my next meal left on the tray? In the name of that holy Woman whom you worship, please, senora 1" "I cannot, child," she answered "Manuel would kill mo. gently. Come, let me wash your sweet white body with fresh water.

Forget the stars, thb soft winds blowing, the creak of leather, and Starr Stones hand on hers laid on her pommel "If you have within you, senora," she said piteously, "any remnant of a womans pity for another woman lost to all the light of life, leave me to fight It out alone.

Before the little hangar Sonya saw In the starlight the ghostly shape of a little gray ship. They made toward It swiftly, and as they reached Its protecting wing a man stepped out from the hangar behind; a tall man, naked to the waist, his head bare, his feet also, a man who was prepared for spreading up" on the morrow. Starr Stone drew them both against the gray ships side. "Sonya he whispered, "Oh, Sonya I" Then, "Listen. We have one chance In a million. This plane Is still warm from a trip Manuel took this afternoon. I heard it come In about dark. Yes, said Sonya, "so did I." "It Is fueled. They are always so. Thank God and Concha we are here. I have just disabled the other one, I think, though not as permanently as I could wish. Weve got to take that one chance, Sonya. Its our only one. Get In quick." With his hands under her elbows Sonya went up along the side, dropped into the little seat, felt swiftly for the safety belt. Safe? the man whispered tensely, Safe," she answered pulling the buckle tight Then she saw Starr Stone turn to Concha and take her In his arms. Concha," he said softly but loud enough for Sonya to hear the whispered words, "I leave thee. It Is fate. But never will I forget thee, nor this thing which you have done. Always while I live I will remember. Adios, little one." And, bending his tall head, he kissed her on the lips. "Ready," he said, and, pushing the girl beyond the plane's wing tip, he caught the propellers blade. Dp and down he swung It one, two, three, then a fourth vehement time, and came llthely up and over Into the pilots seat as the roar of the catchiug engine thundered Into the night. There came the little surge the heavier one, the lifting of the tail as they rocked away along the field, the gathering of speed, and then the soft wave of stillness as they lost contact with the earth and sailed away Into the starry heavens. And Sonya Savarln, looking down with wide drawn eyes, had seen, just as they surged for the start, a long red spurt of flame where Concha stood In the shadows, heard, above the roar of the motor, the faint, sharp crack of a shot. Oh, God 1" she cried, a sob In her throat. "Oh, God! Conchital Conchlta, who, saving her lover yet could not save him apart from his, had made the last great sacrifice for love Itself.
