The smoke from smelter, machine
shop and foundry, the noise of trains
proclaim Durango as a very busy town
as soon as a person steps into its rail
road station Although it often seems
a little quiet, as far as startling Incl
dents are concerned, and not much of
an exciting nature, outside of the ordi
nary hustle of business happens on its
streets from day to day, yet Durango
is lively town. There are few even
ings. even in summer when one can
not find amusements with which to
while away the hours. and If every
thing else fails, there are always de
lightful walks and drives through the
city and to the suburbs, which are not
to be despised on a cool, bright eveno
ing, such as we have in Durango all
summer Business does not cease by
any means with the coming of night.
The electric plant at one end of the
town is always at work and the coke
ovens at the other end. with their
bright fires shining out against the
dark background. are never.failing
source of delight and interest.

SCRIPTURE
By s. HOMER HENLEY.

CAND.
y Everywhere dazzling, white and
glaring hot sand, smoothly level for
little distances, then billowing softly
in breast-like mounds. But always
the same binding white stretch; no
cactus, no bunch-grass-just sand.
And brassy-blue sky-ring with
setting of copper sun, blazing infer
nally.
The American spoke first.
'Well, you've got me dead to rights
out here. What are you going to do
about it?"
The Mexican's only reply was to
point silently ahead. His big jaw
was set immovably and his heavy
eyelids dropped over a gaze colder
than ice. His companion watched
him furtively in growing apprehen-
sion.
Since dawn they had ridden over
maddening miles of this interminab BILE
desert, without the exchange of
single word. The Americans pride
of race in not "knuckling" to a dirty

gradually but ineXorabiy borne down
in part by the terrifying stiffness
and monotony of this blistered
waste, but much more by the I'M
natural silence and immobility main
tanned by the other. He had always
reckoned himself fairly brave man,
but the uncanniness of the whole
situation was getting upon his
nerves.
What fool he had been to ride
out, absolutely unarmed, into this
pale sea with this granitefaced devil.
He felt, savagely, that he would give
all he possessed to mash that grim
mouth, TO crush the light from those
narrow, steely eyes. Presently he be-
gan to speak rapidly, thicldy, as one
hurried on by an uncomfortable
something apart from himself.
Look here, now, l blame you.

married her where l couldn't; but

The risks that firemen take are an
most every paper contains stories of
their bravery. But the man behind the
fire engine-apparently he has only
to keep his machine going, and is as
safe as the man who pulls the lever
of an upright donkey" The story of
Bill Brown, as told by Mr.. Cleveland
Moffett in" Careers of Daring and
Danger" shows that the engineer
bravery is sometimes put to tests as
severe as those which the hoseman or
ladderman ever has to endure
What happened was this: Engine 90,
pumping her prettiest, stood at the
corner so near the drug house that
the driver thought it wasn't safe for
the horses, and led them away. That
left Brown alone, against the cheek
of the fire, watching his boiler and
keeping his steam gauge at IS.
As the fire gained, chinks of red-hot
sandstone began to smash down on the
engine. Brown ran his pressure up
to so, and watched the door anXiously
where the four firemen from his squad
had gone into the furnace.
Then an explosion of chemicals in
the building sent a flame wide as a
house curling across the street, en-
wrapping engine and man, and setting
fire to the elevated railway station
overhead. Bill Brown stood by his
engine with a sheet of fire above him.
He heard footsteps on the pavement
and voices grew fainter, crying; Run

for your lives!" He was alone, and
the skin on his hands, face and neck
were blistered.
Brown knew why every one was run
ming. There would be another explo-
sion. 1t was tolerably certain that he
must die if he stayed. But his four
chums were in the fire, and needed the
water. If he quit his engine the water
would fail.
He stocked in coal and ran the gauge
up another notch, easing the running
parts with the oiler. He was offering
his life for his friends.
In a few minutes the four firemen
came out of the building. Then Bill
Brown ran for his life with his com
rades. A second or two later engine
80 was crushed by the falling walls.

with quiet significance, the butt of
the heavy revolver in it's stamped
leather holster. Not muscle of his
face relaxed it's fixed strain. 1t made
the Americans jaws ache to look at
him.
He waited mechanically for the
answer he knew would not come;
then burst out again in a frenzied eff
fort to batter down the stony ram
parts of the others deadly silence.

the same thing in my place. You'd
have done worse if you could. Why
don't you say something, you dirty

ard! Get down off that horse and
fight me like a man. No, of course
you won't. Ugh. What a beautiful
fool l was to think that you would
help me to get away from her rela-
tives. You would show me a safe
way across the desert and over the
frontier would you? Yes, you would.
Yah! You dog, you! What | want to
know, is what are you going to do
with me? Answer me that Answer
me. What are you going to do with
me? Hey? Say something, can't

His voice had climaxed to a furi-
gus yell; but now he fell quiet sud
denly, watching with fascinated eyes
the phlegmatic mask of the utterly
unmoved Mexican. His burst of RAGE
had been but sorry cloak for the
cold terror that was clutching at his
heart. He realized this with increas-
ing alarm; and worse-he knew that
the Mexican knew it. In spite of the
terrific heat his face and hands were
clammy cold, and he shivered fitfully.
They rode on through the long
afternoon in clammy silence that
was unbroken save for the muf-
fed shutting of the mustangs'
