start, and the pursuers never caught
sight of him until they reached the Rio
Grande. The river, swollen by floods,
seemed well nigh impossible, but the
case was desperate, and in he plunged
his doubly burdened horse. The tired
animal passed in safety, and was foun-
dering up the steep bank O n the Ameri-
can side when the pursuers reached the
river. Manuel pulled his Winchester and
fred at the ioundering horse. Then ii
WAS that that half moon was cut in the
top Of the ear of Padre Teodoro.
"Seeing that they had not stopped
them, Manuel and his party also plunged
their horses into the flood. They passed
in safety and continued the pursuit. AS
they approached some houses the animal
that Manuel bestrode reared back. A
foundered horse lay in the road. The
Mexican uttered a shout of triumph. He
knew that the fugitives could not be fan
away. The pursuers rushed on until
they came to the buildings. A solitary

little while back, stranger answered the
calm cowboy. fM you hurry you'd
orter to catch it,
manuel and his companions chased
after the stage, and the cowboy went into
one of the ranch buildings. There Padre
Teodoro and Carmelita were eating.
They had asked for shelter there and had
told the boss herder their story. The
cowboy told of his conversation with the
girls brother.

cowboys, who had been SO kind to them,
and boarded the stage. They went as
far north as Tombstone, where Rouville
had a friend and countryman in the per-
son of a storekeeper. He gave him a
place in the store, and the clever young
Frenchman o 0 adapted himself to his
new sphere. He and Carmelita were
married by an American justice of the
peace, for, of course, no clergyman
would have anything to do with such a
marriage.
"Rouville did well as a clerk, and some
years later returned to Las Casas, where
he opened a little store. For some time
the Mexicans were doubtful of Rouville,
but he developed a lot of business sense,
put down prices and kept good goods,
and before long nc store there could
boast a better trade than the 'Tiende de
Padre Teodoro,' as his place is still called.
He and his wife and children are, of
course, outside the pale of the church,
but the feeling against them has entirely
disappeared in Las Casas. Rouville has
become one of the solid citizens of the
little town, and has opened stores in sur
rounding towns-one of which, by the
way, is under the charge of Manuel Vii.
