A LITTLE ENLIGHTENMENT Sometime in the night Jean awoke to hear footsteps in the corridor outside her room.

She sat up with a start, and her right hand went groping for her gun.

Just for the moment she thought that she was in her room at the Lazy A, and that the night-prowler had come and was beginning his stealthy search of the house.
Then she heard some one down in the street call out a swift sentence in Spanish, and get a laugh for an answer.

She remembered that she was in Nogales, within talking distance of Mexico, and that she had found Art Osgood, and that he did not behave like a fugitive murderer, but like a friend who was anxious to help free her father.
The footsteps went on down the hall,--the footsteps of Lite, who had come and stood for a minute outside her door to make sure that all was quiet and that she slept.

But Jean, now that she knew where she was, lay wide awake and thinking.
