The man looks at Monte and he mutters, 'Gracias a Dios! That is all. He falls to sleep again that soon. And ever since he sleeps just like a baby. Like a child, senorita, with a smile on his lips. To see him so, you would not think him the evil man . . . he is. There was a low, musical laugh in answer, and a second voice said: I think I would like to see this man we rescued now. Perhaps one can never know! it would be well to look carefully and remember him. While he sleeps so, you mean? "Yes. No other way, to be sure. While his eyes see nothing in ret- urn.

His name is Doane. I know many things about him. The door opened to Doanes room. The elderly woman glanced in; then walked softly to the bed.

Doane saw that in age he might be anywhere between thirty-fiv- e and forty-fivHe noted the peculiar, easy grace of movement, sensing in the stranger, more than seeing it, the feline suppleness of strength that rippled beneath the bright shirt. The mans hands were white and slender, tapering at the fingers as though an artist had moulded them of strong white wax. He put down the bowl of broth and took out a cigarette; he lighted it with all the grace and eloquence of a priest at his ritual. The odd gray-gree- n eyes met Doanes with piercing directness through the spirals of smoke as he dropped his match. "And who are you? asked e. Doane slept deeply, in a dreamless peace, for nearly twenty hours. During this time an elderly woman replaced the mans watch and care of him. She sponged Doanes body; she placed damp cloths against his forehead. He slept on, unknowing. Then he awoke at last, there was a shaft of bright afternoon sunlight peeping through one of the windows room. Perhaps it had been the sound of muffled hoofs in the garden outside that had awakened him. He heard a horse stamp fretfully.

Before slumber conquered the firm red lips drawn now in a he told himself again that this hard straight line; he almost him, had girl brought him back from the tortures of hell; that she had picked him up at the very gates of death, knowing well he was her sworn enemy, and that he had come for . . . her.

She backed against the door, her eyes like glowing coals of black, smouldering fire; she fretted at her belt, still pulling at the gun that was not there. You would shoot your caballero, smiled your prisoner, senorita? Doane as he lifted himself on one I offer you my gun. You elbow. should find it in that holster, on the chair.

And immediately he had said it, he knew he had blundered, and he knew also that he meant it. These were not mere words; they were the echo of something buried deep within him, the echo of a still small voice that told him this was the most beautiful girl in the universe. A ruddy flush crept under the olive skin of her cheeks, and she spoke deliberately: r. Ah! Now you are insulting, I would not believe it, had these ears not heard you say it. My men tell me you are brave, that you fear no man alive. But your own a fool. The words make you gallant deputy Jim Doanel It is to laugh! Doane chuckled. "Alls fair in love and war, my friend.

DRYDEN The cattle grub and heel fly are different forms of the same insect. Starting in the spring, when it is in the fly form, the heel fly lays eggs in hairs of the animals. These eggs hatch into maggots which work their way through the hide and enter the muscle tissues. During the next nine months they migrate through the internal organs of the cattle and come out along the back. Cysts are formed and the maggots then turn into grubs about an inch long. In the spring they work their way out of the holes in the hide and fall to the ground. Within a few weeks they turn into heel flies and the yearly cycle repeats itself.
