rallied, as Bud refreshed himself be-

He pointed to a riot Of mescal bot
ties that marked the scene Of the
nights rotations, and Don Juan gave
him up as hopeless.
"A pile of bottles usually represent
the casualty list in a Mexican fight"
added Bud as Don Juan moved away.
But, jest as he would, Bud saw that
the situation was serious, for the fool

their cartridge-belts, and their guns
were no better than clubs. Unless the

SHRINK Derore the stern gaze or the
Texan, and, as the memory of his past
misdeeds came over him, he turned as
If to flee.
But there was a smile, an amused
and tolerant smirk, about he Ameri-
cans mouth, and even for that look
of understanding the harried hacien-
dado seemed to thank him. He was
broken now, thrown down from his
pedestal of arrogance and ~conceit, and
as Hooker did not offer to shoot him
at sight he turned back to him like a
lost dog hat seeks but a kind word.
Bud knew that Aragon was entirely
at his mercy, that fear had clutched
the once arrogant Spaniard by the
throat, and it was almost worth the
anxiety he felt for this mans daugh-
ter to see the father cowed. Aragon
crawled closer to Bud as If for the
protection he could not get from his
own people.
"Ah, senori" he whined, your par
don! What?" as he sighted the sack
Of meat-"you are going. too? Ah. my
friend"-his eyes lighted up suddenly
at the thought-"let me ride with you'll

We'll, you got 1t coming to you'll"
answered Hooker heartlessly.
But / will pay you Welt" pleaded
Aragon. Il will pay you" He paused
as If to consider what would tempt
him and then suddenly he raised his
head.
What is 1t you wish above every
thing?" he questioned eagerly Your
title to the mine-no? Bien! Take
me to the Iine-protect me from my
enemies-and the papers are yours!"
"Have you got them with your" In

desire to escape. II can get them

"Where?" demanded Hooker craft

swered Aragon. 81 have a great deal
of influence with him, and"
"Bastante!" exploded Bud in a voice
which made Aragon jump. Enough!
If you can get them, l can! And we
shall see, Senior Aragon, whether this
pistol of mine will not give me some
influence, tool"
"Then you will take them?" faltered
Aragon as Hooker started to go. You
will take them and leave me for Ber-
nardo Bravo to-"
Listen, senorl" exclaimed Hooker,
hating and advancing a threatening
forefnger. "A man who can hire four
men to do his dirty work needs no
protection from me-. You understand
that-no? Then listen again. / am
going to get those papers. If l hear
a word from you l will send you to
join your four men"
He touched his gun as he spoke and
strobe out into the open, where he
beckoned the mineral agent from the
crowd. A word in his ear and they
went down the hill together, while Don
Cipriano watched from above. Then.
as they turned into the Office, Aragon
spat out a curse and went to seek

Nov. In the taking Of the native boat
Kun Shan, which happened about q
year after left the country, there
was considerable bloodshed. That
was because the officers and passen-
gers showed fight, when they ought
to have had sense enough to see that
they had no chance.

up as harmless coolies and paid their
passage to Hongkong. They dis

Junk lying close in shore fred a gun.
This was the signal for each peaceful
looking coolie to produce a short
sword from under his blouse. One
party dived into the engine room. An
other lot rushed up to the upper deck.
Those In the engine room made quick
work Of the first and second engineers.
They then shut OF steam, bringing
the boat to a standstill.
Those on the upper deck didn't
have an easy job. The PASSENGER
saw them coming and boltsd to the
captains cabin, where the arms were
kept. There appears to have been

CHAPTER XVIII.

The Secret q the Aerodrowene.
The newly made Princess Of schom-
burg Lthow and her fiance, Santos,
reached Berlin safely. They dew in
the Hawk to Irkutsk In Asiatic Russia
and from there continued their Jour
nsv On the quick asroline TO the Ger
man capital. They sent the asrodro-
nome back to Cafyne.
The Rosiny mansion was ready for
tAs@. Rositta's hrst aston was to
ssaA word to the Count Won Wsrden-
stein that she wanted to sec him.
When the chancellor came. Rositta
received him alone. It was necessary
for her to explain the situation. The
Count Rosiny was dead. He had been
on board the Tar that Napoleon had
sunk. This freed RositGa, but 40 a
princess she could not marry q plain
citissn, - she asked the count to
make Mr.. Duprsl . titled nobleman.
ROSETTA told all she thought necessary.
and they talked for q long time
Santos was told the plans without
the slightest idea that It was a ire
nendous, farreaching plot designed to
destroy all the achievements of the
peace committee. He could see moth
ing but Rositta, hs could think Of moth
Ing but their approaching marriage.
The purpose the chancellor and Ro-
sltta had IN mind, was to manufacture
and equip . number OF aerodromones.
II they pursued this desire. they would
have. inside Of year. the power to
master the situation and take the lead
IN political affairs.

had been informed that after the sue

dromons he would have the title Of
count" conferred upon him, and that
~ would remove all the barriers b.
tween Rositta and him. Their mar
rlAgs would take place the day of the
trial Night This fired his ambition,
40 - worked hard and long. He was
allowed to plan ~ he wished, and one
day lad his blue prints before the
Count Won Werdenstein. He showed
hin that larger and more powerful

be nscessary: otherwise the design
and make would be unchanged This
Improvement in size would give more
