plunging on their track. For, al the
first glance at this huge, pursuing fig
ure, the two Mexicans had turned and
bolted like rabbits, and now, as the
Yaqui whirled in after them, Bud could
hear them ~squealing and s%crambling
as he hunted them down among the
rocks.
It was grim work, too, even for his
stomach, but Hooker let the Indian fol-
low his nature. When Amigo came
back from his hunting there was no
need to ask questions. His eyes shone
SO terribly that Hooker said nothing,
but set about cleaning up camp.
After he had washed the ashes from
his eyes, and when the fury had van
ished from Amigos face, they went as
by common consent and gazed at the
body of the chief of the desperadoes.
Even in death his face seemed strange
ly familiar; but as Hooker stood gaz-
ing at him the Yaqui picked up his
gun.
Look" he said. and pointed to a
bullet-splash where, as the Mexican
held the gun across his breast, Buds
pistol shot had flattened harmlessly
against the lock. 1t was that which
had saved the Mexican chief from in
slant death, and the jar of the shot
had doubtless broken the rifle and
saved Bud, in turn. from the second
shot.
All this was in the Yaqui's eye as he
carefully tested the action; but, when
he threw down the lever, a cartridge
rose up from the magazine and glided
smoothly into the breech. With a rifle
full of cartridges the ignorant Mexican
had been swapping on an empty cham
Der, not knowing enough to Jack up a
she'll!
For a moment Amigo stared at the
gun and the man. and his mouth drew
down with contempt.

kicked the corpse with his foot
But If the MexicAa mao been a fool

non AS for the f~ederals, they occu-
pied the country to the east and at
tempted a few sallies, but as they
had nothing but their rifles, the artil-
lery drove them back.
Then, as the battle ceased, the
rebels began to celebrate their vic
tory. They broke into the closed can
tinas, disobeying their officers and be-
ginning the loot of the town, and
while half of their number were drunk
the federals, being informed of their
condition, suddenly advanced upon
them, with the Yaquis far in the lead.
They did not shoot, those Yaquis:
but, dragging their guns behind them,
they crept up through the bushes and
dug pits quite close to the lines. Then,
when the rebels discovered them and
manned their guns, the Yaquis shot
down the gunners.
"Growing holder, they crept farther
TO the front-the rebels became disor-
ganized, their men became mutinous-
and at last, when they saw they would
surely be taken, the leaders buried
two tons Of dynamite In the trenches
by the bull-ring and set a time-fuse,
to explode when the Yauuis arrived.

ties were kicked in every direction,
and when Hooker leaped to his feet
the Mexican scrambled up and rushed
madly for the creek.
But, though Bud was free, the bat
tie had turned against him, for in the
brief interval of his fight the other
two Mexicans had run for their guns.
The instant he ros they covered him.
Their chief, who by some miracle had
escaped Buds shot, gave a shout for
them to halt. Cheated of his victim at
the first he was claiming the right to
kill.
AS Hooker stood blinded by the
smoke and ashes the fellow took de-
liberate aim and once more his rife
snapped. Then, as the other Mexi-
cans stood agape, surprised at the
failure Of the shot, the cannonlike
whang of a Mauser rem the air and
the leader crumpled down in a heap.
An instant later a shrill yell rose
from up the canyon and, as the. two
Mexicans started and stared, Amigo
came dashing in upon them, a splitting
pistol IN one hand and his terrible
bookkeeping knife brandished
high In the other.
In the dusk his ayes and teeth
cleaned white, his black hair seemed
to bristle with fury, and the CLINT Of
his long knife made q light as he

MANY thanks. senior. he said with
q erin sing and specious ~politeness.
I'VE have come far and the trail is
long, SO we will eat. The times r
hard for poor men now-this traitor,
Madero, has made US all hungry. 1t is
by him that we poor working men are
driven to insurrection-but we know
that the Americans are our friends.
Yes, senior, / will take some of your
beans, and thank YOU"
He filed a plate as he spoke and
lifted a biscuit from the oven, con
tinuing with his false patter while the
others fell to in silence.
Perhaps you nave heard, senior, ne
went on, the saying which is in the
land: Mucho trabajo, pace dinero;
no hay f~rijoles, viva Madero! Much
work, ~little money: no beans. long
live Madero!1
.sThat, in truth. Is no jest to the
Mexican people. This man has be-
trayed us all; he has ruined the coun-
try and set brother against brother.
And now, while we starve because the
mines are shut down. he gathers his
family about him in the city and lives
fat on the money he has stolen"
He ran ON in this style, after the
fashion of the r~evoltosos, and by the
very commonplace of his fulminations
Bud was thrown completely OFF his
guard. That was the way they all
talked, these worthless bandit-beggars
that and telling how they loved the
Americanos-and then, If they got a
chance, they would stick a knife in
your back.
He listened to the big man with a
polite federation. being careful nc 20
turn his back, and ate a few bites as
he waited, but though 1t was coming
dusk the Mexicans were In no hurry
to depart. Perhaps they hoped to stop
for the night and get him in his sleep.
Still they fingered on. the leader ait
ting on a log and continuing his
harangue.
Then, in the middle of a sentence,
and while Bud was bending over the
fire, the Mexican stopped short and
leaned to M side. A tense silence
fell, and Hooker was walked from his
trance by the warning click of a gun
lock. Suddenly his mind came back
to his guests. and he ducked like a
flash, but even as he went down he
heard the hammer clacki
The gun had snapped!
Instantly Hooker's hand leaped to
his pistol and he fired from the hip
pointblaDk at the would-be murderer.
With a yell to the others, n of the
Mexicans sprang on him from behind
and tried to bear him down. They
struggled for a moment while Bud
shot blindly with his pistol and went
down fighting.
Bud was a giant compared to the
stunted Mexicans, and he threw them
about like dogs that hang IN to a bear
With a man in each hand he rose tc
his feet, crushing them down beneath
him; then, in despair of shaking of

and hurled himself over backward into

of the raid. Coming to a. camp where
he expected to find all dead and still,
he had found himself face to face
with the very man he had sought to
kill. How, then, had the American
escaped destruction, and what had
occurred to his men?
Perhaps, in his ignorance, Aragon
was raging at his h%irelinge because
they had shirked their task; perhaps,
not knowing that they we're dead, he
was waiting in a fever of impotence
for them to accomplish the deed. How
aver it was, Bud saw that he held the
high card. and he was not slow to act
In the morning he saddled Copper
Bottom, who had been confined to the
corral for weeks. and went galloping
into town. There he fingered about
the hotel until he saw his man and
started boldly toward him. Surprise,
alarm and pitiful fear chased them
selves across Aragon's face as he
stood, but Bud walked proudly by.
"Good morning, ~senor!" was all Bud
said, but the look in his eyes was
eloquent of a grim hereafter.
And instead of hurrying back to
guard his precious mine Hooker loi-
tered carelessly about town. His
mine was safe now-and he was safe.
Aragon dared not raise a hand. So he
sat himself down on the broad veranda
and listened with boyish interest to

What, have you not heard of the
battle ?" cried portly Don Juan, delight

Negra has been taken and retaken,
and the railroad will soon be repaired.
My gracious! have you been out in
the hills that long? Why, it was two
weeks ago that the rebels captured
the town by a coup, and eight days
later the federals took it back.
"Ah, there has been a real war, Mr..
Bud! You who have laughed at the
courage of the M~exicans, what do you
think of Bernardo Bravo and his men?
They captured the last up train from
Fortuna; loaded all the men into the
ore cars and empty coaches; and,
while the federals were still in their
barracks, the train ran clear into the
station and took the town by storm.
And eight days later, at shutdown,
the federals took it back. All, there
was awful slaughter averted, senior!
But for the fact that the fuse went
out two hundred Yaqui Indians who
led the charge would have been blown
into eternity.

SAME old BEEF TRUST
1t Is In Control of the Shipments
From Argentine.

Washington, March 18.-"How the
Argentine beef industry, which imports
millions of pounds of meat into the
United States monthly under the new
tariff law. is dominated by Chicago
slaughtering and packing companies
which do by Ear the major portion of
the entire business" is described In a
farm bulletin issued today by the de-
partment of agriculture.
That Argentine beef has caused a re-
duction in the prices of meat in the
United States has been generally sup
posed but the department bulletin re-
marks that, 1T is not assumed that the
American controlled companies in
Argentine are using Argentine beef to
beat down the prices of Chicago beef.
At present, the bulletin says. there
are nine establishments for slaughter
ing. chilling or freezing and exporting
beef located in or near Buenos Aires
and five of the companies are now own
ed or operated by Chicago houses.
In the summarized conclusions of the
bulletin, it is shown that imported Ar
gentine dressed beef adds to the ma
the recent rate. little over per cent.
While some Of this meat has come from
British frigorificos at BuenOs Aires, a
great deal Of it has been consigned by
the Buenos Aires frfgOrif1cOs of the
Chicago slaughtering and packing COM
sale by themselves in New York or
wherever they please to send it by
rail.
According to the bulletin nine mil
lien pounds of Argentine beef are be-
ing imported into the United States
the United States received 2,06e. .794
pounds: in November. 3.sSS 1893; In De-
cember, $40, 488 pounds. and in Janu-
ary. 1856, ,797 pounds.
