Arizona, to Anne, was limply unbelievable. It was such e con- tradiction towering mow- capped peaks. massive canyons. quiet blue artificial lakes and canals, lovely fertile valleys, and then the long white roads twist- rng through the whining sands over the flat hot lalns of desert that stretched as at and wide as the "ye could see.

It was, as Gil’! aunt had raid, a land a: far removed from civill- zaticci as one could find, and yet holding civilization within its gasp. Ii. was, as Anne had hoped. the one place in the world that made her come alive. She could feel that slowly healing process taking place within her, that re- awakening. The painful and frightening awareness that David was lost to her forever was dim- inishing; not only David. but all that on which she had built and planned her life. that something within herself that she had held on to. her faith and pride. Per- sonal equations, love and hate, triumph and sorrow. pride and fear, shriveled into nothingness in a country so magnificent. What would it matter in another thirty million years that a girl tamed Anne Ashton had been hurt. that she had thought that hurt matter- ed? She was made humble instead of resentful, peaceful instead ofte- belllous. If she could not yo: be grateful, at least now she sic-sept- ed what had been and knew it be- yond her power to resist or quest- lon what was to be

“You've lost that peaked lock," v

Miss Tracy informed her. "It's this desert air, clear as a .rout stream. and the sunshine and the long rides-there's nothing like the outside of a horse for the inside of a man, you know—and the quiet like a prayer at night."

“And Penlta’: cooking!" Anne laughed. "Don't forget that." An ol Mexican couple. Peplta

and Sabas. and their daughter Neonlla. were the only house scr- vants at this time of the year. There were ccw hands and-lterdz- men. a few Indians. The ranch covered forty square miles. ‘There were any number of out buildings, big bars. cattle sheds. barracks and mess halls, and what seemed like a scattered village of smell guest cabins for ln season therc- were sometimes from fifty to a hundred guests.

Both Miss 'I‘racy and Anne were still ln riding breaches-they had ridden twenty miles that (lay!- and had decided not to change for dinner. Replete with Peprttfs fam- ous cooking, drugged with mount aln air. weary with the dellgtt- ful fatigue of sheer physical ex- ertion. they were a5 content as two purring kittens. Thev. sit curled up before the six-foot fire- place in which logs had been laid and lighted, as the nights were cool after sundown.

“You can stand a few extra pounds," Miss Tracy said. "I can't see why girls want to keep so scrawny these days. Now when I was a girl, if I do say so myself, I had a figure that would take any man's eye." She gave her knitting a little poke with her needle as if to stab home the certainty of her remark.

"Tell me." Anne asked on an im- pulse, “were you ever in lnve, Aunt Bobby?" They had become almost as good "pals" as Giles was with his aunt, and Miss ‘Pracy had insisted that Anne must all her “Aunt Bobbv."

"I-Imm. . ." Barbara ‘Tracy count- ed off a row of stitches before st answered. "Was I ever in love? What, a question! Certainly I was in love, A half dozen timer. I ex- pect to be in love a time or two

"But I meant really in love- with one man."

"It was so real I thought I'd never get over it," said. "Would you believe it? I took to my bed for four months. I ‘vent about in a coma for almost m- other four. Then suddenly I snapped out of it and found I couldn't kill myself off like that. no matter how I trl-ed. People don't die of love-that's so much bunkum, my dear."

"What happened to map you out of it?" Anne asked.

"What happened? Why. I fell in love again, of course!"

"But I don't want to do that. I don't want to love anyone ner- agaln, leave myself open to be lhurt, humiliated. . . ."

"Bunkuml" Min Tracy miffed. |"You were made to love and be loved, my deer. The but thing you can do l‘: fall in love again as ulckiy as you can.‘ th one of the handsome cow- boys around here?" Anne asked, her grey eyes twinkling;

play of moonlight through the stirring loaves of the sllvt-r birch, when all at once dawn nsd er- rived and James remarked bright- ly: "It's all overcast, Ellen- and loads to be taken off the wagons st Rob's". It was early then, so early that the cream-mick had not come to the n-ill to ick up our can, which is among t first of the load.

This lovely suggestion led mg then to describe in detail, the exact laces where he would rind food or the meal- about dlIilF-Z-TOOIII, cellar and pantry. t
