name over his riders bride hand.
Jose's profile was lined against the
pale sky. II was as that of n man who
swims alone in an ocean. His eyes
glinted like metal. fastened on some un-
known point ahead of him, some mys-
tic place of safety. Occasionally his
mouth puckcred i'm little unheard cry;
and his legs, bended back, worked
spasmodically as his spurred heels
sliced the fianks of his charger.
Richardson consulted the gloom in
the west for signs of a hard-riding,
yelling cavalcade. He knew that
whereas his friends the enemy had not
attacked him when he had sat still and
with apparent calmness confronted
them, they would certainly take furi-
ously after him now that he had run
from them--now that he had confessed
10 them that he was the weaker. Their
valor would grow like weeds in the
spring, and upon discovering his es-
cape they would ride forth dauntless
warriors.
Sometimes he was sure he saw them.
Sometimes he was sure he heard them.
Continually looking backward over his
shoulder, he studied the purple ex-
panses where the night was marching
away. Jose rolled and shuddered in
his saddle. persistently disturbing the
stride of the black horse, fretting and
worrying him until the white foam
flew, and the great shoulders shone
like satin from the sweat.
At last, Richardson drew his horse
carefully down to walk. jose wished
To rush insanely on, but the American
spoke tohim sternly. As the two paced
forward side by side, Richardson's lit
tie horse thrust over his soft nose and
inquired into the blacks condition.
Riding with Jose was like riding with
n corpse. His face resembled east IL
lead. Sometimes he swung forward
and almost pitched from hissseat. Rich
ardson was too frightened himself TIC
do anything but hate this man for his
fear. Finally, he issued mandate
which nearly caused Jose's eyes to
slide out of his head and fall to the
ground like two silver coins.
Ride behind ne--about fifty PAGES"
"Senor--" suffered the servant.
$50" cried the American, furiously.
He glared at the other and laid his hand
on his revolver. Jose looked ut his
master wildly. Hemade piteous ges-
ture. Then slowly he fell back, watch
ing the hard face of the American for
sign of mercy.
Richardson had resolved In his rage
that ut any rate he was going to use
the eyes and ears OF extreme fear TO de-
tect the approach of danger; and SO
he established his servant as a sort OF
an outpost.
AS they proceeded he was obliged to
watch sharply to see that the servant
did not stink forward and join him

The vulgar notice OF last night Is an insult
which cannot be overlooked by an indignant
congregation. The pastor announced that he
would give a course OF illustrated sermons on
"The Strange Story of Runaway Boy" the
subject OF the first discourse being "Leaving
Home, as announced in The Bulletin of Sat
urday night. More than this, large posters
appeared last week in prominent places about
town with the following announcement;
"Tho pastor of the Baptist Church begins
next sunday evening a series OF sermons
with pictures, each subject illustrated by
three revolving pulpit paintings, designed
and arranged expressly for pulpit use by the
Rev DIR. f. NJ. Long. Come-see--Hear."
Furthermore IL was stated by the pastor
that these paintings were gotten MP expressly
for pulpit work and had been extensively and
successfully used in different parts of the
country. In the face of all this information,
and knowing, as the reporter must have
known, tho character OF these sermons, he
insults the Peoples Church AID sends abroad
a false impression by his cheap twaddle OF
"Run-away Chap" and vilo insinuations OF

1t will he that there Is just enough

locals to give them color. IL is the skillful
arrangement of half truth SO cleverly prac-
ticed by th1 Auburn reporter tnat does the
mischief; tho other half is the corrective, the
lie Is in Withholding it,
The average attendance al ill the services

life of the community. This statement is
made in justice to the people OF Auburn, the

acingly gripping his revolver.
Jose hada revolver, too; nevertheless
It was very clear in his mind that the re-
volver was distinctly an American
weapon. He bad been educated in the
Rio Grande country.
Richardson lost the trail once. He
was recalled to it by the loud sobs of
his servant.
Then at last Jose came gathering for
ward, gesticulating and wailing. The
little horse sprang to the shoulder of
the black. They were off.
Richardson, again looking backward,
could sec n slanting fare of dust on the
whitening plain. He thought that he
could detect small moving figures in IT..
Jose's means and cries amounted to
O university course in theology. They
broke continually from his -qniYcring
lips. His spurs were as motors. They
forced the black horse over the plain in
great headlong leaps.
But under Richardson there was a
little insignificant rat-colored beast
who was running apparently with al
most as much effort as it requires for
n bronze statue to stand still. As a
matter of truth, the ground seemed
merely something To be touched from
Zine to time with hoofs that were as
light as flown leaves. occasionally
Richardson lay back and pulled stout
ly at his bride to keep from abandon

Jose harried at his horses mouth,
Topped around I'm the saddle and made

ran like a horse in despair.
Crimson serapes in the distance re-
semble drops of blood on the great cloth

Richardson began to dream of all pos

servant. Jose being Mexican. il was
natural that he should be killed in Mex

He remembered oil the tales of such

The great black horse was growing

biting curses of the men, the ring of
the shots, his own last contortion. He
wondered, too, if he could not somehow
manage TO pelt that fat Mexican, just
TO cure his abominable egotism.
IL was Jose, the terror-stricken, who
at last discovered safety. Suddenly he
gave a howl of delight and astonished
his horse into n new burct of speed.

selves the law and the arm of it
a fierce and swift-moving body that
know~ little of prevention but much
of vengeance. They drew up sudden
ly, and the rows of great tsilver-trimmed
sombreros bobbed in surprise.
Richardson saw Jose throw himself
from his horse and begin TO jabber at
the leader of the party. When he ar
rived he found that his servant had al
ready outlined the entire situation. and
was then engaged IN describing him,
Richardson, as an American senior of
vast wealth who was the friend of al
most every governmental potentate
within 200 miles. This seemed TO pro-
profoundly impress the officer. He
bowed gravely TO Richardson and
smiled significantly at his men, who un-
slung their carbines.
The little ridge hid the pursuers from
view, but the rapid thud of their horses
feet could be heard. Occasionally they
yelled and called to each other.
Then at last they swept over the
brow of the hill, wild mob of almost
30 drunken horsemen. When they dis
cerned the pale-uniformed rurales,
they were sailing down the slope at top
speed.
II toboggans half way down a hill
should suddenly make up their minds
10 turn around and go back, there would
be an effect somewhat like that now
produced by the drunken horsemen.
Richardson saw the rurales serenely
swing their carbines forward, and, Pc
culiar-minded person that he was, felt
his heart leap into his throat at the
prospective volley. But the officer rode
| forward alone.

These lines represent terrible names,
all different, used by the officer.
The fat Mexican simply grovelcd on
his horses neck. His face was green;
it could be seen that he expected death.
The officer stormed with magnificent
intensity: "-i - -"
Finally he sprang from his saddle,
and, running to the fat Mexican's side,
yelled: Go" and kicked the horse
in the belly with all his might. The
animal gave n mighty leap into the air.
and the fat Mexican, with one wretchcd
glance at the contemplative rurales,
aimed his stecd for the top Of the ridge.
