The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-06-13

"Ah. senor," shrugged Del Rey, was
he not a Mexican citizen? Very we'll
then; he could be summoned for mill
tary service. But the circumstances
were these. Your friend came yester-
day to this town, where ! am at pres
ent military commander, and made an
unprovoked assault upon my person.
For this, according to law, he should
have been shot at sunrise. But, not
wishing to occasion unpleasantness
with the Americans now residing here,
] offered him the alternative Of mill
tary service. He is now enlisted as a
rural for term of five years"
Give years." exclaimed Hooker;
and then, instead of starting the ex-
pected rough-house-upon which the
rural guards were prepared to jump on
his back-he simply threw down his
hat and cursed. Not anyone in par
ticular, but everything in general;
and at the end of it he turned once
more upon the watchfud captain.
"Dispenseme, senor," he said, this
is the truth, Is it,"
"Si, senor," returned Captain del
Rey. But before leaving with his de-
tachment your friend wrote this letter,
which he requested me to deliver to
you"
He offered with a flourish a sealed
envelope, from which Bud extracted a
short note.
Dear Bud:
When you get this I shall be far away.

now. Rather than be executed | have
enlisted as a rural. But I shall try to be
brave for her sake. Take care of her,
Bud-for me! PHIL.
Bud read 1t through again and medi-
tated ponderously. Then he folded it
up and thrust it in his pocket.
"Muchas gracias, senior captain" he
said, saluting and turning upon his
heel; and while all the Mexicans mar
veled at the inscrutable ways Of Amer
icanos, he mounted and rode away.

CHAPTER XVIII.

A month of weary waiting followed
that day of days in Fortuna, and still
there was no word from Phil. Bernardo
Bravo and his rebel raiders passed
through the mountains to the east, and
news came of heavy fighting in Chi
huahua. Don Cipriano Aragon moved
his family back to his hacienda and
Gracia became only dream.
Then, one day, as Hooker and the
Yaqui were industriously pounding out
gold, a messenger came out from town
with a telegram in his hand.

returned Bud, waving a disparaging
hand toward the noise Of the shouting.
At this she broke down and laughed.
Evidently she was not so fearful of
discovery after all.
you forget, sir" she said, that
am Mexican!"
Then, as he failed to show any signs
OF contrition, she changed her mood
again.
But wait!" she ran on, her eyes
flashing. Perhaps we are not 30 eager
to defend our government nen we
have a new one every year. But If the
men who are gathering in Chihuahua
invade our country, you will find that
as Sonorans those men will fight to
the death.
You laugh because you do not un-
derstand. But why should we So
norans fight side by side with the
federals and rurales? Are they not
the soldiers Of Diaz, who have simply
changed to another master? That

down Maderistas in the hills; now he
IS fighting for Madero! And tomor-

She shrugged her shoulders scorn-
fully, and Hooker perceived that she
was In earnest in her dislike of the
dashing captain, but prudence warned
him to say nothing If he would escape
being drawn into the quarrel.
mol" she went on, after an expec-
tant pause, let the rurales pursue
these bandits-they are hired for that
purpose! But If Orozco and Salazar
join this ladron, Bernardo Bravo, and
seek to capture our towns, then, Senior
Americana, you will see real war and
men fighting to the death! All, you
laugh again-you are a Texan and

Chihuahuans-but it is the truth. And

She smiled, looking frankly into his
eyes, and Bud blushed to the roots of
his hair, but once again he held his
peace.
What, senor," she bantered; you
do not speak? Surely, then, your
friend De Lancey was wrong when
he said YOU would save mel For look.
Mr.. Hooker, am promised to marry

Great Britain. 4. day or so later the
kaiser voiced his displeasure with the
crown prince through an inspired tele-
gram published in the Cologne Gazette.
This was regarded as a public and

In October Of last year the crown

Notwithstanding the ~aft1uent condi-
