frontier mines, II was nothing but a

to be settled And Bud. for one. was
determined to settle It quickly.

one or the chief difficulties that tba

A hawk will only visit a poultry yard
occasionally, and especially II he ia
shot at once or twice will be wary
about approaching 1t again. On the

single year the crows destroyed some
thing over FIVE hundred chicks.
Devices of all sorts were tried in
order to stop these ravages. Various
kinds of 'scare-crows" were tried but
with no effect whatever. Dead crows
we're hung up on stakes as warning
TO their fellows, but instead OF operat'
ing as warnings, they appeared TO
serve as Invitations to the dance
Decoying the birds was tried, but with
no substantial effect on the steady
losses. Poisoning even was resorted
to. but all to no avail. The losses CON
tinued almost constantly.
Finally q plan was adopted which
IS perfectly safe and sure In It's opera
ton. 1t consists simply in running
strands of binder Irvine about two feet
apart over the whole Of the poultry
range occupied by the young birds,
until they reach such size that they
are able to take care of themselves.
These strings are run over the tops OF
the brooder houses, and on supports
made by cross strands Of either WTa
or two or three strings of binder twua
twisted together. These cross strands
are held up where necessary by posts
The whole network of strings thus
formed is put at such height that tho
attendants in working about the yaFl
will not hit the strings when standing
upright. The area covered IN win
strings in this way at the Maine sta
ton poultry plant is usually about
three acres per year. The expense OF
covering this area is from $50 to ~

/ leaving a great silence where all had
been bugle-calls and excitement, and
then the FIRST fugitive came In from
down below.
He was an old Mexican. with trem-
bling beard and staring eyes, and he
told tale OF outrage that made their
blood run cold. The red-Haggers had
come to his house at night; they had
killed his wife and son, left him upon
the ground for dead, and carried on
his daughter, prisoner.
But later, when the comisario ques-
toned him sharply. It developed that
he lived not far away, had no daugh-
ter 10 lose, and was, in fact, only a
crazed old man who told for truth that
which he feared would happen.
Notwithstanding the denouement,
his story stirred the Mexican popula-
ton TO the depths, and when Bud and
Phil tried 10 hire men TO push the
work on the mine. they realized that
their troubles had begun Not only
was it impossible TO engage laborers
at any price, but on the following day
Cruz Mendez with his wife and chill
dren and all his earthly possessions
on his burros, came hurrying In from
the camp and told them he could serve
them no more.
1T is my woman!" he explained;
my Maria! All, II those revoltosos
should see Maria they would steal her
before my eyesl"
SO he was given bis pay and tho
nifty dollars he had earned and. after
the customary "Muchas gracias," and
with the faithful Maria by his side. he
went hurrying of to the store.
And now in crowded vehicles, with
armed men riding In front and behind,
the refugees from Moctezuma and the
hot country began to pour into town,
adding by their very haste to the panic
OF all who saw them.
They were the rich property owners
who, having been subjected to forced
contribution before, we're now fleeing
at the first rumor OF danger. bringing
their families with them to escape any
being held for ransom.
In half day the big hotel presided
over by Don Juan de Dios Bracha-

II she had been in any fear OF cap

she had come TO look upon impending
revolutionary conflicts as convenient

at the hotel, and even a dash to gay
