Richardson, as II he meant to hide be-
hind him.
OF a sudden the fat Mexican gave a
howl Of glee. Jose had come within the
torch's circle of light. With roars of
singular ferocity the whole group of
Mexicans pounced on the Americans

He shrank shuddering away from
them. beseeching by every device OF

initial demonstration 10y the American.
Richardson looked on impassively.
Under the blanket, however, his fingers
were cliuched as rigidly as iron upon
the handle of his revolver.
Here suddenly two brilliant clashing
chords from the guitar were heard,
and woman's voice, full of laughter
and confidence, cried from without:
"Helio! Hellol Where are you?'
The lurching company of Mexicans
instantly paused I'D looked at the

legs wide apart in order to balance HIM

And without waiting he started on pill

door. One could now hear a number OF
female voices giggling and chattering.
Two other Mexicans said: "Yes, il is

quietly away. Even the fat Mexican's
ferocity seemed to be affected. He
looked uncertainty at the still-immov-
able American. Two of his friends
grasped him gayly: Come, the girls

began. Laughing, his comrades hustled

to Richardson and huddled near his
knee. Then the cries of the Mexicans
meeting the girls were heard, and the
guitar burst out in joyous humming.
The moon clouded, and but a faint
square of light fell through the open
| main door of the house. The Goals OF
the fire were silent save for occasional
sputters. Richardson did not change
his position. He remained staring at
the blanket which hid the strategic
door in the far end. At his knees Jose
was arguing, in a low, aggrieved tone,
with the saints. Without the MeXi-
cans laughed and danced, and-it would
appear from the sound drank more.
In the stiffness and night Richardson
sat wondering If some serpent-like Mex
lean was sliding toward him in the
darkness. and if the first thing he knew
of il would be the deadly sting of the

He drew his revolver from under tho

1NprANAroIIs. Ind. Oct l0.-The
republicans of indianapolis suffered
the heaviest defeat in the history Of
the city In the municipal election
Tuesday. Fairly complete returns at
midnight show that Thomas TagRart
tdem.). Is elected mayor by about
1900 plurality and the rest OF the
democratic ticket by about $1,000 Two
years ago the republicans carried the
city by s.i00. and last year the city
went republican by 2,479 on the state
ticket This change of $500 In the
result is accounted for by about 1000
stay-at-home republicans and from
! 200 70 1900 republicans voting the
democratic ticket The main causes
attributed by the republicans arc that
the present administration has aroused
enmity by its rigid enforcement of the
liquor law. assisted by the vigorous
Nicholson temperance law passed at
the last legislature; dissatisfaction
with the street improvement policy;
the personal nnpopularity of their can
didate and the fact that he did not
vote for Harrison In 1899. His loss
from this last cause Is measured by
the thousand votes he ran behind the
ticket
Gen. Harrison voted at 10 o'clock in
the morning, walking from his house
to his precinct polling place. He
shook hands with three or four ac.
qnaintances about the polling place.
and was IN the booth just long enough

couple OF weeks ago in an interview

ticket
