Little Paul had always been taught
by his mother that God had made him
and that he ought to be thankful that
he had been made so perfect; eyes,
ears, feet. hands and all complete.
His mother had bought new cook

He lifted the reservoir lid and looked
in. There was his picture, as natural
as life, in the water, but he was sore
ly troubled, while looking at it. When

cow-puncher's expressive phrase of
skepticism, "but it sounds TO mel"
This conversation was held one
night in camp while the other mem
bers of the band-eight in number
were sprawling around the fire, lin
gering over their supper. When Bud
and Cactus ceased talking they heard
Piggy's formidable voice holding forth
to the others as usual while he was
engaged in checking, though never
satisfying, his ravenous appetite.

devastating aspect. A beak-like nose
with a predatory curve projected
above mass of bristling. blue-black
whiskers. His eye was cavernous
and fierce. He was spurred, SOM
breroed, booted, garnished with re-
volvers, abundantly drunk and very
much unafraid. Few people in the
country drained by the Rio Bravo
would have cared thus to invade,
alone, the camp Of Bud King. But
this fell bird swooped fearlessly upon
them and demanded to be fed.
Hospitality in the prairie country is
not limited. Even If your enemy pass
your way you must feed him before
you shoot him. You must empty your
larder into him before you empty
your lead. So, the stranger of un-
declared intentions was set down to
a mighty feast.
A talkative bird he was, full of
most marvellous loud tales and ex-
ploits, and speaking a language at
times obscure but never colorless.
He was a new sensation to Bud
Kings men, who rarely encountered
new types. They hung, delighted,
upon his vainglorious boasting, the
spicy strangeness of his lingo, his con-
temptuous familiarity with life, the
world and remote places, and the ex-
travagant frankness with which he
conveyed his sentiments.
To their guest the band of outlaws
seemed to be nothing more than a
congregation Of country pumpkins
whom he was "stringing for grub"
just as he would have told his stories
at the back door Of farmhouse to
wheedle a meal And, indeed, his
ignorance was not without excuse, for

Bud Kings band of desperadoes,
outlaws and horse and cattle thieves
were in camp at a secluded spot on
the bank of the Frio. Their depreda-
tons in the Rio Grande country, while
no holder than usual, had been ad-
vertised more extensively, and Cap
tain Kinney's company of rangers had
been ordered down to look after them.
Consequently, Bud King, who was a
wise general, instead of cutting out
a hot trail for the upholders OF the
law, as his men wished TO do. retired
for the time to the prickly Businesses
Of the Frio valley.
Though the move was prudent
one, and not incompatible with Buds
veIIknown courage, it raised dissen-
sion among the members Of the band
In fact. while they thus lay inglori-
ousIy perdu in the brush, the question
of Bud Kings fitness for the leader
ship was argued with closed doors,
as it were, by his followers. Never
before had Buds skill or efficiency
been brought to criticism; but his
Story was waning land such is glory's
fatel in the light of newer star.
The sentiment of the band was crys-
tallizing into the opinion that Black
Eagle could lead them with more lus-
ter. profit and distinction.
This Black Eagle-sub-titled he
Terror of the Border"-had been a
member of the gang about three
months.
One night while they were in camp
On the San Miguel water hole soli-
tary horseman on the regulation fiery
steed dashed in among them. The
newcomer was of a portentous and

not run to extremes. Those brigands
might justly have been taken for
little party Of peaceable rustics as
sembled for fish fry or pecan gath
ering Gentle of manner, slouching Of
gait, soft-yoiced, unpicturesquely
clothed; not one of them presented
to the eye any witness of the des-
perate deeds they had earned.
For two days the glittering stranger
within the camp was Toasted. Then,
by common consent, he was invited
to become a member Of the band. He
consented, presenting for enrolment
the prodigious name Of. Captain
Montressor" This name was imm edi-
ately oyerru1ed by the band, and
Piggy" substituted as a compliment
to the awful and insatiate appetite Of
it's owner.
Thus did the Texas border receive
the most spectacular brigand that
ever rode it's chaparral.
For the next three months Bud King
conducted business as usual, escaping
encounters with law officers and being
content with reasonable profits. The
band ran off some very good COM
panies Of horses from the ranges, and
a few punches OF fine cattle, which
they got safely across the Rio Grande
and disposed of to fair advantage.
Often the band would ride into the
little villages and Mexican settle
ments, terrorizing the inhabitants and
pIundering for the provisions and am
munition they needed. 1t was during
these bloodless raids that Piggy's
ferocious aspect md frightful voice
gained him renown more widespread
and glorious than those other gentle
voiced and sad-faced desperadoes
could have acquired in lifetime

clature, first called him The Black
Eagle, and used to brighten the babies
by threatening them with tales Of the
dreadful robber who carried on little
children in his great beak. Soon the
name extended, and Black Eagle, the
Terror OF the Border, became a rec
fognized factor in exaggerated news
paper reports and ranch gossip.
The country from the Nueces to the
Rio Grande was a wild but fertile
stretch, given over to the sheep and
cattle ranches. Range law was main
ly a letter, and the pirates met with
little opposition until the Haunting
and garish Piggy gave the band un-
due advertisement Then McKinney's
ranger company headed for those pre-
cincts, and Bud King knew that 1t
meant grim and sudden war or else
temporary retirement. Regarding the
risk to be unnecessary, he drew on
his band to an almost inaccessible
spot on the bank Of the Frio. Where
fore, as has been said, dissatisfac-
ton arose among the members, and
Impeachment proceedings against Bud
were premeditated, with Black Eagle
in high favor for the succession. Bud
King was not unaware Of the senti-
ment, and he called aside Cactus
