THE DEVIL AND THE DON

r1cal display of emotion, their elusive
ness, startling gesticuIation and comical
grlmaces when excited, were to him all
mat the antics of a cage Of monkeys
are to the small boy. In puzzled amuse-
ment he sat staring at Don Enrique,
lettlng him talk away until exhausted,
and then coolly informed him that he
had failed to catch his meaning
Don Enrique gasped with despair; what
could he do to arouse this thick headed
American, he wondered. A happy
thought occurred to him. Grasping
evans by the arm he dragged him to
the window. Mira, senor,'' he cried
pointing to the west, where a number
of slender columns of smoke were aris-
ing. 'Indiosi Apachesl Muchos, Inuchos'
Evans was a frontiersman, and his
mind instantly took in the situation.
WITH bound he reached his telegraph
instrument and began calling Chihua-
hua, while Don Enrique drew back from
the devilish machinery as far as he
could. The Chihuahua office was prompt
TO respond and the next moment an
urgent call for soldiers was leaping
along the Wire. There was immediate ex-
cltemcnt in Chihuahua; the fussy switch
engine that was standing for the moment
idly beside the telegraph office amolle
with a snort, and darted to the far end
OF the yard, where it began hastily sort

house, my friend. It is thine. All that

He was trying to kiss Evans again,
when a voice that shook with laughter
called from the window: Say, Evans,
what's the matter with the good 1ookin'
daughter? I'd rather kiss her than the
old man-I'n take her if you'll let me
get into the game.
d you an the daughter, tool"
Evans returned wrathfully, glancing at
the grimy face of "Cussin' Jimmy"
which was framed in the window, and
with mighty effort wrenching himself
free, he ran out of the room.
A year passed" and one day Evans
hailed the engineer of a train that was
slowing into Las Delicias, ''Say, jim

sheepishly. Sip on your best clothes

almost fell from their ponies. A whoop
and wave Of their leaders hand sent
them flying back toward the mountains,
and the soldiers, quickly pouring from
the train started in hopeless pursuit of
them.
Don Enrique was as one who sees a
vision so sudden a transition from dumb
despair to a sense OF safety stupetied
him. With round, wide open eyes, he
stared a few minutes at the fleeing In
dams, at the dusty soIciers above whose
heads fluttered the flag Of his country,
and then, in a sudden transport of joy,
rushed TO Evans and clasped him to his
arms.
My friend, my very dear friend!' he
cried, kissing the surprised American,
first on ope cheek, then on the other.
Nay, thou art more than friend-savior

thy railroad, and thy telegraph" Don
Enrique went on, not noticing this in
terruption, and holding tight to Evans,
who was struggling with all his strength
to get away.
Evans gave up, and, to escape further
OSCILLATION, pushed forward his head on
the Mexicans shoulder; his face was
flushed with shame and his eyes were
rolling lrdicrously from side to side, fair
~ speaking the disgust he felt.
