.ILtheir commendation. Dolores had allowed her eyes
and her smiling lips to say so much that she had
never ventured before. Manuel was fairly
smothered with praises. Marie Rose, however, had
gone home with Sallie and Bud Browning immedi-
ately after the race was ended. Manul, therefore,
had not seen her. The next evening he carried
milk to the Browning kitchen with unwonted eager-
ness.
Marie Rose met him at the door and, with only
a greeting, relieved him of the bottles. She turned
to put them down and get the emptyv cnes. Her
eyes were dancing and her lips were "holding
straight" only with difficulty; but she said not
another word. She turned back to Manuel with
empty bottles. Disappointment filled the boy's
eyes. She handed him two bottles before she broke
into a rippling, merry little gale of laughter. She
stepped back, caught her skirt daintily, and, with a
little flourish, as though removing a hat, she made a
low courtesy.
"Senor Manuel," she said, "I take off hat to one
gude rider-makes big winnin' for Brownin'
ranch!" She clapped her hands. "I been proud o'
you," she added. "You no been 'fraid to try?
No!"
The next evening Francisco went to see Anita,
but Manuel did not accompany him. Once again
Francisco left his guitar at home. Once again Man-
uel walked boldly to Bud Browning's front gate and
made the guitar "seeng" for the shining-eyed, brown-
skinned little girl who lived within. This time,
however, Marie Rose did not remain inside. Sallie
Browning gave the girl's shoulder a gentle, little
pat and sent her out into the warm night, down
the path that led to the gate. The stars were bright
overhead, the air was fragrant with perfume from
Sallie Browning's rose blooms.
It was several weeks after that that somebody
expressed surprise to Francisco at Manuel's interest
in the little Mexican at Sallie and Bud Browning's.
Francisco's chest expanded visibly.
"Francisco find hees -senorita," he said, "and
Manuel ees the son of hees papa!"

YOU NEVER CAN TELL
(Continued from Page 16)
and the following words written on the sheet in
red ink:
"I love to take them in my arms
And look into their eyes,
Enumerate their many charms
And tell them funny lies.
1 love to kiss their lips, you bet,
I love to see them smile
But I've never loved a girlie yet,
For more than a little while."THE CORRAL
