Show THE UINTAH BASIN FARMER pushing aside the scene that rose before him. What was It he had said to her about not being able to remain? What excuse had he made? He could not recall his words; he know only that Tonia had beckoned him back, and that he was going to her. Magdalena, with all her witcheries, could not hold him. And Magdalena, stung to the soul, had realized that he had only played with her to win back Tonias uncertain fancy. He could see now what he had been too dull to read In the girls pallid, tragic face ; the shame of having been made an Instrument for his vanity ; the that pronounced her wholly unworthy of Luis; the certainty that Tonia would laugh nowt and that the w'hole village would laugh with her. Valencio had followed her as she turned from him to run Into the garden ; he had seen the knife in her hand, had heard her despairing threat ; but even as she spoke he had listened for the laugh that should tell him that her threat was but a Jest ; that he might return, carefree, to his first love. He had listened for the laugh for the laugh Horror seized him and held him rigid. The laugh was ringing all about on, THE BELLS OF FATE child-woma- By CHARLOTTE CANTY ( by Short Story Pub.

But Valencio, crouching beneath the mesquite bushes on the hillside above the house, knew all of the tragedy and more. He had waited, hoping that there might be some mistake; that Magdalena might have struck a blow less true than she threatened. But there was no mistake ; Magdalena was been dead; past tne shame of having tricked by him, played with to rouse the jealousy' of the woman he preheart And his cowards ferred. trembled as he listened to the broken voices from below, for the cry of the moment was, Who Is to tell Luis? Luis would come in from the Rancho de los Cerritos at sunset to spend his Sunday with Magdalena. One Sunday out of each month he came, and it was since his last visit that all of this mischief had been done. Valencio, his narrow face working, cursed Luis and himself and the whimsical Tonia, at whose fickle heels he had danced these two years past. But for her coldness he would not have dreamed of setting up this flirtation ; and surely he would not have selected Magdalena if he had bold thought of Luis.

He lifted his hands to his head to shut out the sound, bat he could hear it ringing into his brain; the laugh of Magdalena, the child laugh that had been the chief grace of her young . womanhood. An Indian legend dimly came back to him; the story of a man who had been pursued by the dying whispers of the woman he had murdered. Was this to be his punishment to be pursued by the laugh that he had killed? The wild pounding of his heart stopped him. He had been running, sobbing breathlessly in terror of a phantom that ran with him. Spent and exhausted he went down, only to be urged up and on again by the silver tinkle that came to him, now near, now far, but always- witk the bljthe ring that he knew.
