one day received instructions TO look

TO the White river Indian reservation

merry Mexican liquor known as pulque,
and while drunk and ugly shot and
killed a white man. The name Of the
latter was not given. but some par
uculars were added regarding the
Apache, which satisfied me that had
a bad case to deal with. This Estrada
had originally been one Of the cello
brated Geronimo's band, and was with
the latter when he was rounded up
and captured by Gen. Lawton. Al.
though OF great age. time seemed to
have made but scant impression on
his iron sinews. and he was looked

ly increasing IN darkness and size
Then flashes OF lightning darted
across the heavens, followed by peals
OF thunder. A storm was approach
ing--a most unusual occurrence in
New Mexico during the month of
April.
Down the road that skirted Los
Tanos man and a women were rid
ing 1t full speed. The man looked
anxioucly up at the sky. and said to
his companion:
Wish you would stir up the mare
some, Nettie. We must get across
the Montezumy bog before the rain
comes. IL We mean to be married this
year. Least bit OF water there will
make the path too soft"
It's no use. Tom" responded the
girl. I've spurred all I know. but she
won't go no faster"
Have to take our chances, then"
commented the man. I'VE can't turn
back. for the widow1l be after us with
a posse"
Before them stretched the low, fiat
expRnse Of the marsh, extending to
the right and left for several miles.
To look at, the surface Of the bog
appeared to be a hard crust, baked
stif and dry. and covered with a
white coating of alkali through which
grew no manner of living plant.
Down through the middle OF the des-
ert flowed the sluggish stream that
came from the Montezuma spring.
Across the bog there was a faint
path, which could be traversed in the
dry season; but once let the crust be
come wet and IL turned to a Shiny
mud that yielded 70 the weight OF
man or horse. and gripped so tightly
what it seized that self-relief was i'm
possible.
Just before the two riders reached
the edge OF the bog. the storm. which
had been gathering, suddenly burst
upon them, and the rain came down
In torrents. Nevertheless. they ad-
yanced slowly across the bog. The
binding sheets OF rain soon obliterat-
ed the path. and the ground grew
softer and softer every moment.
Twice the mans horse sank 70 the
knees. and once the mare narrowly
escaped. but at length they reached
the stream. Pausing a moment on
the edge. Tom started to ride into II.
Stay where you are a minute, Net
tie" he said. tin I find how the
bottom Is here"
All this time Red had been con-
eealed in ambush few yards on. He
was too far away TO hear what Tom

Il might well ask you that, Red. A"
I returned. How In the pane OF all
that's queer did you come TO get
mixed up with my men?"

Now, sit down and tell me why you

Red threw his big body on a wooden
bench and heaved a deep sigh.
1t was this way. Reno" he said
That Apache skunk killed the best
friend i had on earth. the husband Of
the girl that loved better than any
one else in the world. You remember
Tom Fallon?"
Remember him." I exclaimed. II
should think so. But you don't mean
to tell me that he was the man that
Estrada shot?"
1T was Tom" replied Red sadly;
him, an no other Tom. he went
over to see his old uncle, who is
superintendent of the Mammoth mine
and means to leave all HIS dough to
Toms kid. While he was there this

Why, l dunno. But when I heard Of

or Il might be tears. He burned to
distinguish himself. TO snatch her from
the power OF her rufnanly abductor.
Watching Tom ride into the stream,
he saw his horse lifted OF its feet and
carried down by the food current:
saw him recover q foothola; then
heard him shout 10 Nettie: GO back
go back" and he realized that the
horse was fast In the bog, for the
animal was churning the water into
suds in his frantic efforts to escape.
Now was Reds chance. The villain
was helpless to harm the maiden,
while he was free and unfettered.
Leaping to his saddle, he rode out
from behind the ohappaTai and dashed
straight at Nettie. She gave a scream
or surprise when she saw him, and
he endeaVored TO reassure her.
Il have come to save you," he cried
exultantly.
Haiti" yelled a harsh voice, and
Red looked up to see shining steel
barrel covering him in deadly aim.
Fervently he cursed his rashness in
yenturing too quickly from his am
bush. Tom had the drop on him with
.45 at ten yards, and even as Red
gazed he roared angrily: Put up
your hands, and lively. fore let day
light through you"
There was no disputing the stern
command. Red raised his hands and
sat disconsolate.
What are you up to around here?"
demanded Tom fercely

his shoulder. Then your fellows come
along just in time to stop me from
completin' the bill. They done took
my gun away. too"
Here one Of the Apaches handed me
long AS. which he stated belonged
TO Mason. and l passed the weapon
over to my old friend.
Here's your gun. Red" said; I'm
sorry you have been roughly handled
but you can't blame my men for that"
"Oh. that's all square" he returned
only / wish they hadn't come until
minute later. an I'd have fixed
things up the way I wanted them"
Don't be discouraged" told him
"Mr. Estrada Will get all that is com
ing to him. Uncle Sam has him in
hand now"
In spite OF this assurance Reds face
still wore an expression OF intense
gloom, and I half regretted having
given him back his weapon. fearing
lest he might be tempted TO some
rash move having for its object the
elimination Of Estrada from this ter
restrial sphere. AS matters turned
out, my anxiety on this point was not
altogether without foundation. We
decided TO stay where We we're until
dawn. and accordingly disposed our
selves TO rest as we'll as the extremely
limited accommodations at hand
would allow. The bullet wound in the
captive Indians shoulder did not
seem TO trouble him much. for. lying
on the floor of the shack. he slept
soundly. while my two men. worn o1i
with their exeruous. did likewise
Red. too. appeared TO slumber. but the

santa Rosa to Eet married. ;.

Santa Rosa to get married"
Red gasped in establishment. So IL
was an elopment. and not an abduc-
ton. after all. But his mind was made
up in an instant. II she wanted to
marry Tom IL was not for him to say
her nay. He bowed low to Nettie. a
smile breaking through the gloom up
on his features. Nettie laughed light
~ and turned TO her lover. Il reckon
you can put up that gun. Tom" she
called. Reds all right"
Tom returned the revolver to its
holster. and Red set himself manfully
to smooth the course OF true love. II
he could not be the best man he
would be the next best. and he bur
rfedly united the rawhide lasso that
hung from his saddle-horn. All this
time Tom had been seated on his
mired horse in midstream. Red rode
TO the edge of the bank and said:
III chuck this over you, Tom, and
get you out. Look out"
Deity Red swung the loop about
his head and sent II twisting through
the air. II settled down over Tom s
shoulders, and. taking a turn of the
free end about his saddle-horn. Red
backed his horse away from the
stream. In another moment Tom. wet
and muddy, stood by Nettie's side.
Once more Red swung his lasso.
and this time the loop settled over
the head OF the horse. This time he
had his hands full, but the effect Of
the strong, steady pull was soon ap-
parent. and at last the horse Joined
his master on the bank
About four o'clock that afternoon a
muddy party OF three rode up 60 the
little adobe church in Santa Rosa.
Lettering before the door were sew
eral cowboys dressed in their best,
who hailed the new arrivals with
stentorisn cheers. We'll, you're on
time, Tom Fallon," cried one OF them
but where'd you pick up your extra
pslT"
He's my hated rival; leastways he
was a hated one" returned Tom com
placently. But now we're friends.
/ and he's aSoin' to give the bride
| away"
1t was even as the triumphant lover
said. Red Mason had nobly agreed TO
wear the martyrs crown OF renuncia-
ton with as much grace as he had
once displayed IN stepping the bolero
at the Houston ranch
A year from that day saw few
changes in San Miguel county. The
widow had long forgiven Nettie and
