At a dinner in London ON one occa-
sion the conversation turned on the
subject of lynchings in the United

vain. Cerves was not quick to get an
idea. but when once he had one lodged
firmly in his head nothing could dis
place it. 1t must be left to die of old
age. SO Bud went to see Maria and
poured the whole tale of his woes into
her sympathetic ears.
All Monday forenoon he sat gloomily
in his tent and wondered how he should
word his resignation. 1t was all up
another flunk-a job lost and a girl
with it. But shortly after noon there
came diversion. \ group of very
much excited men arrived from Rigas
and demanded that he put them to
work Immediately. He complied at
once and did not insult kind fortune
by asking the reason for this sudden
enthusiasm for work. But in the even
ing he received an answer to the I'M
asked question. and it plunged him into
the depths of despair once more. Maria
had announced that at last she was
ready to make choice from among
w
completed she would marry the one
who had worked the most faithfully.
Day after day the work continued
with undated ardOr, and at last it was
finished. The first train had run over it
and had brought to Bud letter from
the superintendent of construction in
which many complimentary things
were said. Little cared Bud for high
flown phrases. 1t was all over, and to-
morrow some greaser would be made
happy by the prettiest girl in Mexico.
From force of habit. however. he wan

a bark strangely resembling that of

disquietude.
1t was two months now since the
