Juan Torrejon was . man to act
with promptitude. no matter what
the exigency. Horsemen could not
ride through the dense undergrowth
into which solano had vanished. but
twenty bandits were on bis track q
moment later. The chief himself
sprang at Brockett with q snarl OF
fury. and made a lightning search OF
the prisoner. The search brought
forth the envelopes In which the orig.
1nal missives had rep0sed, and Tore
Jon, his fierce face lighting up tribe.
carefully slowed them in his own APP
parel.
He called young Mexican to his
side and ordered him to act as his in
terpreter.
Tell the young man." said the
chief, slowly and with an apparent re-
turn of good humor, that was quite
sure his friend had not carried on
the papers, but that wanted to make
sure-he will therefore pardon the
roughness Of the searching process.
Five minutes before the other young
man went out to catch fly balls, deft
hands had been over his clothing and
found nothing. He, therefore, simply
ran away, and left his companion to
face the music. So be it. II he can
be caught all right, all well and good.
II not, let him go his way-1 give him
credit for clever escape. You and
I, Senor Brockett, will meet the gen..

Noon came, and the bandits who
had pursued Solano began to straggle
IN. They brought no prisoner. and
declared that the young Gringo must
have been carried out and befriended
by the devil. Torrejon, courteous as
ever, made Brockett eat with him, and
asked him many questions concerning
the great game of the Americans, its
rules. its famous players. Towards
one o'clock sentry at the western
edge Of the clearing challenged loudly.
and a moment later two bandits es-

their horses by strong hands upon tho

then, quickly realizing the helpless
ness Of his situation, calmly returned

and emerged upon clearing, in which

some fifty men were lounging round

given and answered; the horsemen
dismounted, picketed their horses, and
