Almost before he knew what he was

riding brought him to the place she
had described; then, as he gauoped up
to the door he heard a wOman's terri

entered the living room, to find two
ruffians threatening an old lady who
was half unconscious with terror.

men lodged under his arm. and escaped
into the open, then, as his accomplice
tried to execute the same tactics. Dick
laid him out with a deft blow between

arms and legs securely. he turned to
the old lady he had rescued.
No; I'm not hurt she answered,
promptly recovering her spirits now

Then the girl, followed by half a
dozen swarthy cowboys. dashed into

the bound man upon the floor, she
rushed into her mothers arms.

cried.
Don't know that I should have been

The men themselves say that while
they were on patrol duty some MeXf-

them a drink. 1t being cold night,
they drank from a black bottle and
the next thing they knew, they heard
the sound of quarreling in Spanish.
Many MeXicans, all armed, and eviden-

would have the American soldiers
