ner up; I'm going out to the mine!'
Then, with a saddle-gun under his
knee and his six-shooter hung at his
hip, he rode rapidly down the road,
turning out from time to time to let
long cavalcades Of mules string by.
The dead-eyed arrieros, each with his
combined mule-blind and whiplash
swinging free, seemed to have very
little on their minds but their pack
lashings, and yet they must be three
days out from Moctezuma.
Their mules, too, were we'll loaded
with the products of the hot country
-fanegas Of corn in red leather sacks,
oranges and fruits in handmade
crates, panoches of sugar in balanced
frames, long joints of sugar-cane for
the dulce pedlers, and nothing to 1ndi-
cate either haste or flight.
Three times he let long pack-trains
go by without word, and then at last,
overcome by curiosity, he inquired
about the revoltosos.
What revoltosos?" queried the old
man to whom he spoke.

YEARS HAD LEFT THEIR MARK
Served Later in Depletion OF
That of Judas.

On the wall of an old monastery IN
Milan hangs the famous Last Sup
per" of Leonardo da Vinci. 1t Is said
that this artist, in painting the faces
of the apostles, studied the counte-
nances of good men whom he knew.
When he was ready to paint the face
of Christ he could find none that would
satisfy his conception. After years or
careful search, says the Strand Mag
azine. the painter happened to meet
one Pietro Bardinelli, a choir-boy or
exquisite voice, belonging to the ca
thedral. Being struck by the beautiful
features and tender manner that be-
spoke an angelic soul, the artist in
duced the boy to be the study for the
divine face.
All was done carefully and reverent-
ly, but the picture was yet 1ncom-
plete, for the face of Judas was ab-
sent. Again the painter set about IN
search of a countenance. Years passed
before his search was rewarded and
the picture finally completed. AS the
artist was about to dismiss the miser-
able and degraded wretch who had
been his awful choice, the man looked
up at him and said:
You have painted me before.

Say, Phil" he hailed, disregarding
his pardner's obvious preoccupation;

what kind Of powder to get to break

o'clock, and"
He thrust his head out the door as
he spoke and paused, abashed.
Through the half-closed portal Of the
next balcony but one he beheld the
golden hair of Gracia Aragon, and she
fixed her brown eyes upon him with
a dazzling, mischievous smile.
"O-ho!" murmured Bud, laying COM
pelling hand on De Lancey and back
ing swiftly out Of range; 80 this Is
what you're up to-talking signs! But

him peremptorily with jerk OF his
head, Il got ten men hired and lot
of grub bought, and If you don't pick
out that mining stuff we're going to
lose a day. So get the lady to excuse
you and come on now."
"In minute" pleaded Phil, and he
went at the end of his allotted time.
and perhaps it was the imp of jealousy
that put strength into Hooker's arm.
well, that's all right" said Bud, as
Phil began his laughing excuses; but
you want to remember the Maine,
pardner-we didn't come down here to
play the bear. When they's any love
making to be done l want to be In
on it. And you want to remember that
promise you made me-you said you
wouldn't have a thing to do with the
Aragon outfit unless 1 was with you!''
why, you aren't-you aren't jeal'
Gus, are you, Bud?"
"Yes, I'm jealous!' answered Hooker
harshly; Jealous as the devil! And
want you to keep that promise, seer
"Aw, Bud" began De Lancey In
credulously; but Hooker silenced him
with a look Perhaps he was really
jealous, or perhaps he only said so to
have his way, but Phil saw that he
was in earnest, and he went quietly
by his side.
But love had set his brain In
whirl and he thought no more OF his
promise-only of some subtler way OF
meeting his inamorata, some way
which Bud would fail to see.

CHAPTER XIII.

For sixty days and more, while the
weather had been turning from cold
to warm and they had been laboring
feebly to clear away the great slide
of loose rock that covered up the
ledge, the Eagle Tail mine had re-
manned a mystery.
Whether, like the old Eagle Tail Of
frontier fable, 1t was so rich that only
the eagles head was needed to turn
the chunks into twenty-dollar gold
pieces; or whether, like many other
frontier mines, it was nothing but a
hole in the ground, was matter still
to be settled. And Bud, for one. was
determined to settle it quickly.
Come on" he said, as Phil hesi-
tated to open up the way to the lead;
I'VE got a month, maybe less, to get to
the bottom of this; anu eaen the hills
will be lousy with rebels. If they's
nothing here, we want to find out
about it quick and skip-and II we
strike it, by grab, they amt enough
loose from it. So show these hombres
where to work and we'll be up against
rock by the end of the week"
The original Eagle Tail tunnel had
been driven into the side of a steep
hill; SO steep, In fact, that the loose
shale stretched in long shoots from
the base of the frowning porphyry
dikes that crowned the tops Of the
hills to the bottom of the canyon. On
either side of the discovery gulch
sharp ridges, perforated by the gopher
holes of the Mexicans and the ancient
workings of the Spaniards. ran di-
rectly up the hill to meet the contact
But it was against the face OF the big
ridge itself that Kruger had driven
his drift and exploded his giant blast
of dynamite, and the whole slope had
been altered and covered with slide
Of rock.
Against this slide, In the days when
they were marking time, Bud and his
pardner had directed their energies,
throwing the loose stones aside, build
ing up walls against the slip. and
clearing the way to the solid schist.
There, somewhere beneath the tumble
of powder-riven, rock, lay the ledge
which, if they found it, would make
them rich; and now with single-jack
and drill they attacked the last huge
fragments, blasting them into pieces
and groveling deeper until they could
strike the contact, where the schist
and porphyry met and the gold spray
had spewed up between.

r. VERY little girl has right to play
L in the water and to learn to swim
and be as much at home in it as her
brother is. The adventurous spirit of
boyhood takes him out with his fell

splendid swimmers, and the mere
knowledge that they possess this ac-
complishment keeps them from get

on his way; "and I'll bet nobody else

revoltosos; but, as for them, they
knew nothing about it.
Not until he got back to Fortuna

dawned upon him then was gradually
dawning upon the whole town.

were out of employment because OF
the general stagnation Of business. he
soon had ten Mexicans at his call.
Then, as Phil had dropped out OF
sight. he ordered supplies at the store
and engaged Cruz Mendez-who had
spent his fortune in three days-to
pack the goods out on his mules.

morning if De Lancey could be found

SYNOPSIS.

Bud Hooker and Phil De Lancey are
forced, owing TO revolution in Mexico,
to give up their mining claim and return
to the United States. In the border town
of Gadsden Bud meets Henry Kruger,
wealthy miner, who makes him propo-
sition to return to Mexico to acquire title
to very rich mine which Kruger had
blown up when lie found he had been
cheated out of the title by one Aragon.
The Mexican subsequently spent large
sum in unsuccessful attempt to REQ
cate the vein and then allowed the land to
revert for taxes. Hooked and De Lancey
arrive at Fortuna near where the mine,
known as the Eagle Tail. is located. They
engage the services of Cruz Mendez, VINO
has been friendly to Kruger, to acquire
the title for them, and get permit TO o9
preliminary work. Aragon protests an6

rich fabric, folds, covered cords, tucks
and plaits, very neatly made Of the
material, provide the best Of all dec
orations. There is something about
the distinctive character Of this un-
usual product which precludes much
ornamentation.
In the construction Of apparel for
mourning it should be borne In mind
that extremes of style are inappro-
pirate. Conservative designs in
dresses and hats are in good form
always and in mourning costumes
they are imperative.
In the matter Of decoration. also,
the forms that show careful workman
ship and express a sedateness in
choice are consistent and therefore
beautiful.
In millinery there is wider range
in choice Of trimmings, but, after all,
none looks SO well as forms of flow
ers, buckles or ornaments made up in

CHAPTER XII.

In its inception the Fortuna hotel
had not been intended for the use of
Mexicans-in fact, its rates were prac-
tically prohibitive for anyone not be-
ing paid in gold-but, since most of
the Americans had left, and seven dol
lars day Mex was no deterrent to the
rich refugee land owners. it became
of a sudden international, with fine
mixture of purse-proud Spaniards and
race-proud American adventurers.
Not a very pleasing combination for

Representative Simeon D. Fess Of
Ohio met an old friend in Washington

regard to loss of hair.
Yes, l have a great prejudice
against being bald" remarked Fess'
friend, "but guess I'm elected"
We'll, you know the old story about

THE big fly and the little fly were
promenading across an expansive bald
head, and the big fly remarked to the
little fly: See this fine, wide boule-
ward here? l can remember when it
was nothing but a narrow cowpath.
