THIRTEENTH INSTALMENT In the spring, for the first time, the Wallnces went up to the More ado stock ranch, ton miles back in the hills, This was where Dulce had spent most of thit spoiled and wilful childhood of hers: Cassy and Dan had heard repeated allus- fons to it, but had not seen It be- fore, They took Tommy, bodly ex. ploratory in his brown laced shoes and striped blue romper, and tod dling Margaret, particularly allure ing in blue gingham.

In the fields, mares stood ruminating deep In clover; a dozen youmg horses raced about a' level field, thelr wild hoofs tlinging clods of woft turf Into the sunshiny air, "That's 'Ln Lomita Ladymsid,' " lce sald, at one fence, "She's tueky," 'And these are the" "La Lomita Stables." "Gee," Dan exclaimed, "I think this fs fascioating:' My father," Dulce explained, as they walked about, 'was made about this place. He wanted to make it 'the Unost stock farm in the country.

It's ten miles out of town, too, And then I married my first husband here," Dulce explained pressing her white palm upward against a filly's soft nuzelng mouth, "Ho was an east ern hoy, a sort of -ne'er-do-well, roaly, whose family thought he might settle down here. But he never did, Ho broke my father's heart, and ho would have mine, it he hadn't been thrown one morn. ing, riding a horse that every man we had on the place sald" They were walking back toward the house now; Dulce paused her fri SUMMER CLINIC FOR CHILDREN--STARTING JULY 2nd & 3rd Wednesday,~--Mary Street School--9 a.m, Thursday,~Ritson Road School--9 a.m. To innoculate children against Diptheria and Scarlet Fever.

"Horror!" Cassy whispered, Dan: was bardly listening. "What a lite!" he said, "Up here in the hills with all the fruit and flowers and poultry you want, and these things to watch!" "Why, Danny, I never knew you wore so fond of horses!' 'om, yos, I've always been crazy about them!" "Dan VII have to put vou in here as foroman." The house was old-fashioned, but Cassy thought its ' fresh ¢olonial white and green much more nitrac- tive than Dulce's other, more luxur- fous plage, down'in the valley, Below was a lawn, and roses just beginning to bloom, and masses of garden flowers all ready for spring. After their walk in the sunshine, they were glad to sit still, in the shade for. a while, awaitng the cal) for luncheon, One of the trainers came around the corner of the house, and Dulco and he conversed in. easy Spanish undertones. Afterward they went in to luncheon, served in the shad- ed dining room a perfect meal, in cooking and serving and appoint ments, as were all Dulce's menls, Cassy had an odd moment, at the luncheon, For just a 'few se- conds sho experienced a curious feeling that the sealés had moved, and that Dulce's side had gone up. Bhe was jenlous--just a deep-faint prieck-of Dulce, She laughed it down; it was too ridiculous, But the beauty and the charm of the place overwhelmed her good common sense in spite of herself, When she: went 'upstairs with the maps, the same order and beau- ty there brought back the same little maddening prick, Such white beds, such speckless flowery wall. papers and colonial paneling. Shades drawn so primly at the win dows, towels ranged so neatly on glass bars, Cassy sat in Margaret's room droaming until Margaret wont to sleep, the color, swoelness, warmth, loveliness of La Lomita wrapping her in a sort of stupor, "Well, anyway, Dulce has no Tommy, and she has no Margaret!" Cassy found herself arguing ridi- culously, as, with her head against Margaret's pillow, she too fell inte a doze, Meantime Dulce had asked.
