CHAPTER II.

The magnolia tree that had been
planted out by the acequia had seen
spring give place to summer and au-
tumn to winter nearly 13 times. when
at last one day old Berrendo and Girls
tho, his neighbor, hit upon merry
plan. Henceforth there should be no
more wrangling. The field over which
the water flowed was to be Liana's
marriage portion.
OF course they would have to wait
awhile for the wedding. Inocencio,
Berrendo's grandson, was only II, and
Llama. the granddaughter Of Cristino.

mined upon the plan which should put
an end to the contention Of years. the
two old men were In rare glee. In

the best.
Berrendo was sharply denounced In
consequence by his wife, but CristinO,
Door old fellow, had no senora's gra-
cious presence In his house. To be
sure, Llama opened her great eyes
wide when he laughed inordinately
and sat down on a table instead Of u
chair. But as he allowed her to take q
picture Of st. Catherine that hung on
the wall and cut out the saints figure
for doll she thought, on the whole, It
was rather nice.
Inocencio and Llama had grown up
together. and they were both alike IN
this-they were orphans. The little
girl was but years old when her par
ents, who had gone to spend a week
with some cousins in near by pueblo,
were carried off by pestilence Of
smallpox which swept down upon the
town. The boys mother had died in
giving him birth. AS to his father
we'll, no one ever spoke Of his father,
and Inocencio grew so at last that he
disliked to ask his grandfather any
questions concerning him.
However. he noticed singular thing
In this connection. Whenever by any
chance 1t happened that he was bold
enough to broach the subject Berrendo,
having gruffly warded him of, would
Invariably break into the same little
snatches Of an old Spanish song:
De mi lazo t'escaparas,
Pero de mis- bola-quandol
And then he would 60 about his work,

Berrendo had never been q gaucho-
Inocencio was sure of that-so why did
he sing this couplet? That was
gaucho's song.

"He claims some sort of relationship

with smile, "Will the senorita fetch

When she returned, her father met
her, having forgotten Cristino and the
conquistadores, and leading her to ca

ed her, and at first It was irksome to
remain dressed as her beautiful Monte

he would show her q likeness that he
carried In locket-that Of his mother,
he said-she would smile and, feeling
of her dressed hair and glancing at her
slippered feet, would say gayly:
"And I also shall look like that one
day"

One evening Catou sat looking over
the mail that Beausoleil had fetched
him. Ouelle was cuddled In a little
heap on the floor, her head against his
knee. Catou had tried several times to
open his mouth. At last the words
came:
Sweetheart, I must go to New Or
leans, but I can't take you, because"-
Ouelle sprang to her feet in an in
stant, and into her dark eyes came q
wild look. "But you are mine-mine."
In moment she forgot her queenly
bearing and fell sobbing in the mans
arms, her whole body quivering.
"Probecito," he said, holding her
close. 81 will come back to you soon.

You would, sure; but the best men

Clipped, and rather than have 1t drawn
out and retempered had had new

well along about then and felt that
I could afford it, to say nothing to the
common sense of having only the best

Of that seemed to be just waiting for

"This safe stood at the top landing

1T stood with its door toward the

stairs, and there had lain till he pick

HE did his first duty, to me, by
sending for the doctor, and later he
did his duty to the community. It was
easy to do that with the handle Of my
broken jimmy beside me at the foot of

the police station yesterday they confessed
to robbing many places and said they were
implicated in thefts in many more. Arthur
Pernell, who was arrested on Friday night

they both confessed that they had been
implicated in a number OF thefts, but before
they had gone very far with their confess

men who arrested the negroes, and a num-
Der of watches and rings are known to be

dict. Engineer w. II. Shumaker and Con-
ductor Johnson are entirely exonerated by
Coroner Tutewiler's verdict. Although they
violated technically a rule Of the company
prohibiting trains being run at high speed
in the city, the coroner's finding says they
were warranted in doing so by custom and
orders inconsistent with the rule.
A map prepared by Deputy Coroner DR..
Gels. showing the tracks of the Big Four in
Indianapolis. the switches. the location OF
telegraph offices and switch tenders and
others in charge of running trains and
keeping the track clear, was of much as
~sistance TO the coroner in reaching his de-
cisions as to who was responsible for the
wreck. By this map it is shown clearly
that if Yardmster Hicks had been notified
by Train Dispatcher Byers that the specials
from Lafayette were coming. he would
have notified the switch tenders, and when
the Big Four switching crew started to-
ward North Indianapolis, they would have
been notified of the approach of the spe-
cial by the switch tenders at Kentucky or
Senate avenue or Market street, or by the
operator at North street.
