Arrivâ€" ing in Arizona with her husband who has ailing lungs and their small child, they learn that the ranch is located $5 miles from the nearest railroad. Oid Charley Thane, ranchâ€" er and rural mail carrier agrees to take them to the "Dead Lantern" gate, 5 miles from the ranch house. As they trudge wearlly through a gulch approaching the ranch house, ‘a volce whispers "Go back! . . . Go back!" At the ranch house they are greeted suspiciously by the gaunt rancher partner, Snavely, and Indian Ann, a herculean woman of nfixed ‘nogru and indian blood. Snavely is difficult to understand but regardless, |Ruth takes up the task of trying to adjust their three lives to the ranch ud _ its _ development. Kenneth, i Ruth‘s husband, caught in chilling ‘rain contracts pneumonia and passes away before a doctor arrives. Ruth tries to carry on. She is not encourâ€" aged ‘by Snavely in plans to try and stock the ranch or improve it. She writes to her father in the East askâ€" ing a loan with which to buy cattle. She receives no reply. Will Thane comes home to visit his father . . . ind Ruth meets him. A rancher nearby decides to retire and offers to sell Ruth and Snavely his liveâ€" stock on credit. Snavely tries to balk the deal but Ruth buys to the limit of her threeâ€"quarter interest in Dead Lantern ranch. It was now the twentieth of July and since the single storm of ‘more than two months before, there had not been a cloud in the sky the size of a pigeon. The grass which had sprung up so ‘brave and green after the «storm was now wilted and the color of broomstraw. The lacy leaves o‘ the mesquite curled on drooping branches, dust laden; the broad, flat jeaves of the prickly pear were shrunken _ and _ yellowish; _ small bushes were as brittle as glass, and the twigs and weed stems underâ€" foot rustled like dry paper. The rirds, rabbits, coyotes and lions had left the countryâ€"all was desolation. attesnakes abounded. Old Charley himself had remarked to Ruth that the rains began about the end of June; Snavely had admitâ€" ted that it might rain around the twentyâ€"fourth â€"of â€" Juneâ€"before the real drouth set in; but Ann, Don Pranciseo, Alfredo, and Magda had stated calmly that the rain would come in abundance beginning with the Day of San Juan. Each morning the sun rose naked ubove the eastern mountaing and as ii rose a wave of stifling heat ewept over the desert as though a mighty oven door had slowly awung open. Ruth had rather expected rain on the Day of San Juan and, when that passed clondless. felt that in a day or so she would see the clouds bilâ€" lowing over the mountaing and smell the indescribable perfume of desert rain. Asg day succeeded day, each botter, dryer, more hopeless than the preceding day, her anxiety increased NOwW GO ON WITH THE STORY .

The increasing awareness of her responsibility drove her to asâ€" eume more and more the control of the ranch. Before she well realized it she was giving the orders for the day‘s riding. Snavely left everything to her. He rode out each morning but he rode alone and he returned alone. Occasionally as she rode ahout the ranch, Ruth came across him. Someâ€" Jimes he was.riding casually up some canon 4s though he cared not where he went, as long as he had no com:â€" pany; again, she had, sgen him sitâ€" ting in the shade of a scrubby live oak high upon a ridge top. ‘When; ever she saw him these days Ruth had an odd. uncomfortable feeling that Snavely was waiting for some thing. Snavely thought for a long time, then said he would go. It seemed to Ruth that there was an undercurrent of eagerness in his voice in spite of kis objections to the trip. He started the next morning with team and waâ€" gon, returning a week later with the logd. He appeared oddly satisfied. Now, whenever the riders found a weak cow with a starving calf or some calf without a mother, these animals were brought to the home rauch, turned into the small horse posture and fed. Some sixty cows were receiving their daily ration of meal, and about the ranch house and corrals wandered a band of nine or ten orphaned calves whom Ruth was bringing up on the bottle, ° One day she met Old Charley and Will as she was riding the southern boundary of the ranch. The two men came up to the fence and talked with her. ‘That evening she told Snavely that he ought to go to town for a wagonload of cottonseed meal which could be given to such cows as needâ€" ed it badly. She also suggested that be get a certain brand of dried milk â€"much advertised in the cattle i % raisers‘ magazineâ€"which, mixed with water, could ibe given to the underfed calves and the orphans,‘ The guich had been fenced by the Mexicans underâ€" Ruth‘sâ€" direction; also all the ponds were now deep and all but the one in the south pasâ€" ture was bone dry. Half of the herd watered at this bond, the other half at the corral troughs on the home ranch â€"‘The corral troughs could only water this number. Very litle wind came to turn the windmill which fed the tank by the corrals. Even after Alfredo had constructed a primitive hand pump, it usually meant three hours of backâ€"breaking labor to raise the required amount of water. And no «igns of rain, Each day, as she returned from the south pasture, sometimes driving a weak cow, or even carrying a dayâ€" old calf across her saddle, the awellâ€" ing fear in her heart increased. A hundred times a day she looked for clonds; if her riding took her near a hill she went to the top, eagerly scanâ€" ning the newâ€"made horizon. She knew that the Mexfcang were As day succeeded day, each hot ter, more hopeless than the preced ing day, her anxiety increased. There came a day when the water in the south pasture had shrunk to & thin sheet of wet mud. Then Ruth knew that the end had come; with the full herd trying to water at the‘ home ranch where uhere was barely enough for half, there could be only one result. If no rain came within a week the cattle would begin dying by dozens. |~ For the last few days as she watched the water so relentlesely‘ disappear, Ruth thought less about meeling her note and more about the cattle themselves. ‘The tears often started in her eyes these days. When the girl came upon a gaunt cow lying in the stifling shade at the bottom of some gully, with a «shriveled, panting calf at her side, she wanted desperately to explain to these poor creatures that she could not help, that she was not to blame. praying for rainâ€"she had given them all the candles in the house for the sacred picture they had hung in the ‘barn. And once she had entered the gulch after & calf, which had gone through the fence, and upon the rock had found a grotesque little mud image holding a tiny pot of cornmeal. Ann did mot reply when Ruth asked her wbhout it; but the girl had come to know the footprints of the glantâ€" When the last of the water was gone in the south pasture, Ruth felt that ghe would gladly give every antâ€" mal on the place to any: one who could take them to green fields and running water. Feeling as she did, the blow which fell on the following mail day was robbed a little of its power to hurt. She had written a letter to Parker explaining the situation and thank ing him for his previous offer to exâ€" tend payment. And although Old Charley would be bringing the mail and would not be going into town again until next week, the girl rode to the box. But the mail had already arrived when she reached Uhe box. ‘There were two letters addressed to her. Th one with the earliest postmark was from Parker who explained that for business reasons he had been obliged to take a loan on the note. It was now in the hands of J. H. Witherspoon, Inc., a broker, The secâ€" ond letter was from a broker. After reading it the girl stared at the cloudless skyline, then rode home. Hor lips. were set and her face shone yellow under the tan. . . "Conseâ€" uently, the cattle situation being whut it is owing to the present érouth. we feel it necessary to call payment on the note when due: namely. November first. next." "Well," said Will, "there‘s one thing certain <~when the raing hold off as long as this they make up for it when they do begin." Again, Ruth shook her head. Old Charley studied for a moment, then «lowly climbed out of the car. Will followed. "I‘ve seen some pretty baudâ€" times. mended," remarked the old man. "Things most always seem worse than what they are. But pshaw we‘re bound to get rain before long and when we do, iUl likely be a good one, «ame is Will says." "The last pond went dry a week azo." said Ruth dully. Old Charley tried not to show his surprice. "So2â€" Well, they‘ll get a little thin waterin‘ at the well, but it won‘t hurt them. ~Oh‘" fRuth suddenly turned away. Aitet a moment she said slowly. "I ~Oh‘" fRuth suddenly turned away.

"Another week!" Both men stared at the girl. "You must be wrong," wid Old Charley. "No, the well‘e going dry â€"it gives ont eooner each day."

STRIEBEL _ Snavely slowly arose as the riders came «traight up to him. Ruth spoke: "Mr. Thane has told me of a ’plu('o in the north pasture where ‘there is indication of waterâ€"he and :lny brother found it last summer." she paused. "Why didn‘t you tell me about it?" ! "I had reasons," said Snavely, his eyes on Will. "I didn‘t want to go gettin‘ your hopes upâ€"there ain‘t no use diggin‘ in that gully bottom jest because of a little rain seepage." | _ "But, Mr. Snavely," said Ruth, "now that we have need of the water Idon‘t you think it would be wise to try to get it?" Old Charley looked at his son and then at Ruthâ€""Why, just what I said; use the well at the corrals, the one with the windmillâ€"the old well." to take care of a good half of your herdâ€"let part of ‘em water at the eorrale." If no rain came within a week the cattle would begin dying by dozens. "Atâ€"theâ€"corrals? But I don‘t unâ€" derstandâ€"do you meanâ€"what do you mean?" _ "But that‘s what we have been us ing," cried Ruth; ‘"that‘s the one that‘s going dry!" "What!" ejaculated Will. "Aren‘t you using the upper well at all?" "Upper wellâ€"what upper well?" asked Ruth in a dazed voice. "Well, I‘ll ‘beâ€"" Old Charley looked at his son. Old Charley nodded and turned to Ruth. "The prospect Harry and Will found last summer was in the upper end of the north pastureâ€"I guese Harry didu‘t get around to developâ€" ing it beforeâ€"he left. But didn‘t anyâ€" body tell you about it?" "Noâ€"" Ruth‘s heart was ‘beating wildly. "I never heard about any other water." "Harry bought the pipe," eaid Will. "Remember, Dad? We passed a 10ad of it on the way to town last fall." "There‘s a big pile of pipe behind the barn," said. Ruth. "Tell me quick! Is there water we can use in the north pasture?" "It‘ll have to be developed," said Old Charley slowly. ‘"‘Shouldn‘t take more than a day or two." responded Will. He thought a moment, then pulled an enyvelope from his pocket and wrote on it with a pencil. "Here, Dad, you run on into town and send this telegramâ€" I‘ll be staying over a few days." He turned to Ruth. "Suppose I ride back with you and show you that place. Seems to me you ought to develop plenty of water with a day‘s work or "If you canâ€"you won‘t find nothin‘, though. Maybe a little rock basin tull of rain water under the sand." "There had been no rains for sevâ€" eral months when we located the prospect last summer," sald WIill; "the sand was wet and we dug far enough to see that water was run ning into it from that big dike. That dike is a natural underground dam "All right, all rightâ€"go abhead and dig all you‘re mind to if you‘ve got such an allâ€"fired interest in the Dead Lantern, XMr. Thane." Will made no reply and Ruth thanked him with her eyes. To Snavely she said, as she started her horse, "Please have the two men follow us with picks and shovels." It was not long before Will guided her into a small arroyo, one of the hundreds which led down from the mountains. He never went on with it," said Will, softly.
