light in the brush of the hillside flashed several
times rapidly.
Somebody's getting quite worried up there, - re-
hected the Boundary Rider.
Presently small gesticuating figure appeared
at the edge of the brush.
Don't you utter sound' admonished the
man of law in under breath to the driver.
Then the figure came forward at quick step,
painting emphatic reproaches. What fool bust
ness! Hey! what you wait for there? The DEVIL
that Gringo rurale come along and catch the
Chinamans. Bah! you not sense to find that old
mine tunnel. What's matter? You got a mule
head?"
why, hello, Pedro!" greeted the Boundary
Rider, as the figure came up to the wagon. Nice
evening for Chink party. Just take seat up
there by your partner"
Pedro drew back with splutter of Spanish oaths.
Come, up you go quickl' tersey urged the
officer, with significant click of his pistol.
Bah! that storekeeper lie, muttered Pedro as
he obeyed reluctantly. " He say you gone Campo"
well, next time you'd better not take chances
on what the storekeeper says about me- grinned
the Boundary Rider.
Thereupon the captor backed the wagon load
of contraband Celestias to the clump of sycamores
where he had left his horse, and with precau-
tons not to be taken by surprise swung into the
saddle. Then, tossing the reins to the driver, he
ordered him to move ahead on the trip down to San
Diego.

struggled across the border; but where and by
what means his deputies could not discover. The
Boundary Rider was warned to keep sharp look
out, and for a time haunted likely and unlikely
places for crossing the line, from Yuma to the
Pacific, but to no purpose. Finally the movements
of one Pedro, genial old Mexican, attracted his
notice. Pedro with pair of mules was making
frequent trips up from San Diego, ostensibly to
cross the border by usual up country trail; but
it was discovered he never crossed by that route.
Hence, the Boundary Rider thought something
might develop by tracking Pedro
Kept Watch of Pedro

~ evenings later the Boundary Rider was keeping
in unobserved touch with his movements In little
while Pedro struck into canon which descended
for half mile upon creek through which ran
the dividing line. His follower stole to a point
of vantage overlooking the creek to watch Pedro;
but neither the Mexican the mules appeared.
Presumably Pedro had camped for the night. The
Boundary Rider was inclining to that opinion, when
light flashed out in the deep shadow of mountain
over the creek the other side of the line. As
there was no habtation thereabout, it looked to
the pursuer if things getting ready for
cattle drive; SO he prepared for action. Leading
his horse down spur of the canon side wall under
cover of the darkness and the brush he posted him
self in concealment near the crossing and waited.

response to an answering signal on the
American side, the light flashed twice.
Something going to happen pretty
soon!" thought the Boundary Rider,
making sure of his gun. What presently
did happen became of absorbing interest
to him. From the shade of the Mexican
bank wagon was driven cautiously
down to the creek; then followed NUT
tered oaths as the team baked in mid
stream; so he moved to the edge of the
creek on the American side.

came from the driver of the wagon, as the
Boundary Riders figure loomed indis-
tinctly ahead. why don't you lend
hand here?"
Very obligingly the waiting officer
waded out until knee deep; then with
united effort the team was urged into
squirt. AS the wagon was drawn up on

ate in his headquarters at Campo, sixty miles from
the coast Then came the question of taking them
down to San Diego. To march them afoot was not
according to custom, and moreover provocative of
rescue; yet to mount them was to put premium
the best of escape. Then buggy was
thought of;NRut how to seat the prisoners with
regard to security problem. If the Boundary
Rider drove, it would have been necessary for one
cattle smugger to sit behind, which would not do at
all. If both placed in front, they might con-
spire to make dash for liberty at the first likely
chance
Finally the Boundary Rider decided to intrust

kept watch over the other the seat behind
In this way the officer and his prisoners started
down the mountains. All went well until they came
to a spot where the road skrted steep bank. Then
with jerk of the off rein the cattle smuggler driving
overturned the buggy down the bank. There was
of course pretty fair smash up far the buggy
was concerned; but that the horse and cattle SNUG
glers escaped without serious injury made plain
by subsequent developments. When the Boundary
Rider found, secured with the reins and gagged
with his handkerchief, the cattle smugglers had
ridden off to safety across the Mexican line. Still
the question is much discussed along the border
How should he have taken them down to the coast?

THE SENTRY OF THE SOUTHERN

6OMEWHERE along the boundary line
stretching from Yuma to the Pacific
~ coast there is horseman with keen
eye turned toward the barren, rugged
mountains of Lower California, or sweep
ing the expanse of desert which on the
far horizon merges into the salt marshes
at the head of the gulf beyond the Mexican
border If you meet this figure by chance
on narrow trail, it is as well to answer
any question put by him frankly; tor
shield pinned to his shirt proclaims him
to be a, or rather the, United States
Boundary Rider, with authority to use
the rifle and pistol he carries.
1t is a pretty long post, this of his,
hundred and fifty miles as the crow flies;
probably the longest and certainly not
the least exacting upon physical endur-
ance and temperament of any single law
guardian, national or otherwise. In the
rough, still thin1y settled border country
of the Southern California mountains and
across the wide, parched area of the Colo
RADIO Desert there is work enough for one
man in intercepting cattle smugglers
slippery Chinese immigrants, and an oc-
casional outlaw making hot of foot for an
asylum across the Mexican line. Hence
the reason why he does not follow any
regular patrol, but, doubling frequently
dust storm or when the torrential rains
turn dry river beds into cataracts, likely
to be encountered in some place, when in
formation might lead one to suppose he
was many miles distant. He is, in fact
an example of the value Uncle Sam places
upon the right kind of man, as contrasted
with the number employed by the Mexi-
can Government for the same duty across
the border.

THE CRAZY IDEA
OF A CRAZY NEGRO

For months past a certain negro wo-
man has never failed to appear at the
/. & C. y. depot at the arrival and de.
parture of every train. Her presence
has been noted by the train crews,
and others who frequently visit the
depot. This morning she was there
as usual. and Deputy Constable Perry
was on hand. His attention was call
ed to the woman. He said he had FIRE
quently noticed her, but as she never
seemed to notice any one and was
harmless. he did not question her.
This morning, however. he attempted
to do SO, but she ignored him. As
usual, when the train for the north
pulled out she hurriedly lei raGins1is
the direction OF Old Town. Perry Tol-
lowed her, and she leo him to her
home, in a cottage in the Stafford
grove. Here she told the officer her
name. and she also said she was COM
PEELED to meet every passenger train.
If she did not, she declared to the Of
ficer, the train would never get in and
out; that she had all the trains tied
up and she had to be there to let
them loose. No train, she declared,
could come and go unless she let II do
so. On all other subjects the officer
said the woman talked nationally.
She takes in washing for a living, and
her neighbors say she is a hard-work-
ing and well-behaved darkey, though
very peculiar.
This freak is a dark negro. about
twenty-five or thirty years of age. She
Is usually neatly dressed. Sunshine
Or rain, she is to be seen at the depot.
During the past summer the hottest
lays found her standing in the sun,
for hours at a time. when
he train was late. Invariably when
he trains leave she goes in the direc-
ion of her home as If in very great !
hurry. no doubt feeling that she has
performed a duty that is imperative.
