 Not a hit Every day brought with 1t new robberies. He and Chavez alone held up the stage at Coyote Hole station on the owen River road. cap ured eighteen prisoners, robbed the whole business and left 'em in the lureh. It's mighty long lane that has nary a turn. and the turn came at last to Yasquez. He was fooled to Greek Georges house, near Los Angeles. and there captured, shot to pieces. though, before he give in"
 Betrayed at last!" l exclaimed.
 'You-bet-your-boots' calculated our narrator. with a squint of the eye, as he looked steadily at me.
 -Tiburcio's ruling passion was a love for the woman, and it's nothins more'n just to him to say women in turn fairly worshipped him. I never saw the like; he fairly bewitched 'em. A husband never cut no figure with him.
 What did he look like, his general aBearance, as you recollect him?'
 Well. he was medium height, slender form supple, graceful, quick and nervous in manner. a good dresser he commanded attention anywhere he went His hair was jet black, skin fair, features clear cut and good to look at. except his thick Tipped, broad coarse. mouth. But he always had such a winning smile playing about the corners that softened 1t, or when the lips broadened into laugh be showed a fine set of even, white teeth. good to look at. His black eyes deep sunken n his head. laughed when in 3 good hnmor, but got away when the tiger was aroused in him. 4 glitter leaped there that smacked of an adder's sting or a rattlesnake's fang.
 Nobody would ever take this well hammered young fellow with his low mellow voice for the worst bandit except Murietta-that ever bulldozed the state. He worked a confidence on everybody who met him. and t was to this very gift that he owed his lib- eTty for so long.
 How did he fall at last?"
 Well. it was a case of love and vengeance. You see, he'd gone it all his life pretty rough on the fair sex. He ran off with a young daughter. scarcely l5 years of age, of his best friend near Cantua canyon. was shot by the father and the girl rescued; {; made of with SaIazar's wife and was nearly shot to death by the husband. and then-weH. he got his match when he ran of with Le.ya's wife.
 When Tiburcio went to Cantua canyon several months before the raid and murders at Snyier's store he met Leiva's wife. She was mighty pretty plump. Mexican wo- man of %. Leiva was a Chilean, several years older, a fine looking. strapping young fellow, with an honest. open, frank face, but not the iady's man that Tiburcio was. Rosaria fell in love with Tiburcio and it was through her persuasions her husband joined T.burcio and his freebooters's life. Leiva's first wrongdoing was at Tres Pinos After that, crime joined the two men in daily life and travels. Rosaria was with 'em. The close attention of Tiburc.o had ripened to intimacy. At last the truth dawned upon Leiva, arousing all his vengeful pas. sions. but not till they were camp ing at Rock Creek canyon did the crash come By ruse he worked it
 round so ne could play detective on Tibureio.
 He had given his wife all the love of his strong soul and had even committed crime to please her His heart was broken. He lay down on the ground and shaking with sobs cried in dumb agony the wiole night through. When day broke the strength of the man came back tc him. He got up. quietly dressed himself, then went to his chief and told him all he'd seen and that he dissolved partnership.
 They say Tibercio in answer said not word. but Leiva with 'Senor you are my enemy forever took his wife and children, hitched up his team and started for Elizabeth Lake
 Here he left his family and or horseback started or his revenge. his first step the capture and death of the betrayer of his home and happiness He knew Tiburcio's plans. his hid ing places and the ones who always spied for him.
