SYNOPSIS.

Bud Hooker and Phil Delaney are
forced, owing to a 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, a
wealthy miner who makes him a PROPOSE
ton to return to Mexico to acquire title
to very rich mine which Kruger had
blown up when he found he had been
cheated out of the title by one Aragon.
The Mexican subsequently had spent a
large sum of money in an unsuccessful
attempt to relocate the vein and then al
lowed the land to revert for taxes. Hook
er and De Lancey arrive at Fortuna, near
where the Eagle Tail mine is located.
They engage Cruz Mendez to acquire the
title for them and begin preliminary work.
Aragon accuses them Of jumping his
claim. Hooker discovers that matrimon-
ial entanglements prevent Mendez from
acquiring valid title. Phil. who has
been paying attention to Gracia Aragon.
decides to turn Mexican and acquire the
title. Aragon fails in his attempt to drive
them off the claim. Rebels are reported
IN the vicinity. A rich vein of gold Is
struck and work on the mine is stopped
until the title can be perfected. Phil is
arrested by Manuel del Rey. captain of
the rurales and suitor of Gracia's. He
Is released on promise to stay away from
9racia.

CHAPTER XVII.

There was world of Mexicans in
the plaza when Hooker rode down
through the town. Never. 1t seemed to
him, had he seen SO many or liked
them less.
To the handful of Americans who
remained to man the mill and mine,
they were easily hundred to one; !;
and though their eyes were wide with
fear of the imminent rebels. they had
an evil way of staring at him which
he did not relish.
Even at the hotel. where the Span
sh-Mexican aristocracy was massed
ten deep, he sensed the same feeling
of yelled hostility and wondered vague
ly what it might portend. II Philip De
Lancey. for making love to girl. was
drafted into the army, what would
happen to him il these people should
ever break loose? And did they have
the courage to do their worst?
He fingered around the door for q
while. hoping to meet Don Juan or
some American who would tell him
the news; then, disgusted with every
thing. he flung away and left them to
themselves. Fortuna was not a white
mans country-he could see that with
out a tliagram-but at the same time
he intended to hold his mine until he
could hear from Phil.
Let the tides OF insurrection come
and go. let the red-haggers take the
town and the federals take It back
again-at the end he would still be
found at the Eagle Tail, unless Phil
received his title to the mine.
As for Aragon. whose fine Italian
hand he perceived behind the sudden
taking off OF Phil, let him make what
trades he would with the rurales and
Manuel del Rey. even to the giving Of
his daughters hand; but II, taking ad.
vantage OF the unsettled times. he
daree to try to steal their mine, then
there would be war to the knife
1t is a fine, comforting thing to be
single minded and Of one purpose. All
the rest OF life is simplified and or.
dered then, and man knows when to
raise his hand and when to hold Il
back.

about their mine. but he was a Mexi.

RASH DlSFIGURED FACE

San Martin, CALI used Cuticure
Soap and Ointment on my child's face
for bad rash, also on his scalp which
was very scaly. The rash disfgured
him for the time being. 1t itched and
caused the child to scratch it. He also
had an eruption on his scalp. When
putting him to bed would wash his
face and scalp with Cuticura Soap and
then use the Cuticura Ointment. He

"You forget, SIR" she said. that

She smiled, looking frankly into his
eyes, and Bud blpshed to the roots Of
his hair, but once again he held his
peace.

ished! Even as he washed out the
gold Phil's mind wandered far away,
back to the hotel where Gracia Ara
gon sat watching by the window.
Her hair was the color of gold, spun
fine and refined again; yes. it was
worth more than this golden dross
that he caught in the bottom Of his
pan. And what was gold II he could
not have her?
He paused in his labor and dreamy
smile parted his lips-then he broke
into a song:
Sweet honey bee. be sweet to me.
My heart is free. but here's the key:
Lock up the garden gate: honey. you
know I'll wait,
Under the rambler rose tree-ee.
Once more he returned to his work,
humming now the dulcet strains OF
THE Merry Widow" and when Bud
came back from the cut 1t was to hear
coon song:
Cos want yer. me honey. yes. want
yer. want yer:
Cos 1 want yer. ma honey. yes do!
So he labored and sang. until finally
the labor ceased, and then the song.
He went about other things, and other
thoughts, not so cheerful, filled his
mind.
Bud returned sadly to the company
of the Yaqui and gave it up. Perhaps
his pardner had been right when, rid
ing out of Aqua Negra, he had en-
larged upon the dangers Of Old Mex
leo. the land of manana and broken
promises" Certainly his speech had
been prophetic in regard to dark-eyed
women; for, even as he had said.
nothing seemed to please them better
than to come between man and man.
1t was a madness. he felt sure-the
spell of the hot country, where the
women look out from behind barred
windows and men sing beneath their
balconies at midnight. Already it had
cost him his pardner-would 1t con-
quer his will as we'll and make him
forget his trust?
In his impotence the idea Of some
perverse fate-some malign influence
over which he had no contpol-was
strong with Hooker; yet when the
blow fell he was not prepared for 1t.
1t was the third day of their mining
and. with Amigo, he had been driving
into the face of the cliff.
Already their round of holes was
drilled, the fuses cut, the charges set,
and as he retreated before the blast
he noticed absently that Cruz Mendez
was in camp. The shots followed. one
after another, and he counted them to
make sure there was no miss-fire-
then he looked around and discovered
that Phil was gone.
Where is Don Felipe?" he inquired

wlcKERsHAM SUPPORTERS
 TRY TO USE ADMINISTRATION

FAIRBANKS, Sept. 2S.-The duplic- ity of the campaign managers of Dele gate James Wickersham was shown here when posters appeared quoting letter from President Woodrow Will son to Delegate James WicRersham in such way as to make It seem that the letter was an endorsement of the Delegate. The letter was dat ed December 8, 1913.
 The letter from the President was in reply to one that Delegate Wicker sham had written to him in the name of the people of Alaska, thanking him for the railroad bill, and had no per sonal significance whatever. But, by using the letter without the letter tc which it was a reply, would make 1t appear that the President is support in= Delegate Wickersham.
 The people at Fairbanks resent the trick as a crude effort to fool then ard as an insult to the President.

 The artillery being sent against Antwerp is of Austrian manufacture, and is arriving at Brussels on Austrian railroad trucks. All the long German siege guns have been removed to the Aisne battlefield.
 The moment for the actual be- ginning of the siege of Antwerp will depend upon the outcome of the Battle of Aisne. Should the Germans win the contest in Northern France, the attack will be pushed at once; while, in case of German defeat, the troops TOW holding the line along the ScheIdt will be used to resist any Belgian attempt to cut the route of the retreating Germans.
 Communications with Ant werp have been almost complete ly suspended.
 In the northern part of Bel gium, which is still under the im- mediate control of the Belgian government, all is quiet.
 All cities and towns along the frontier are kept absolutely dark at night to avoid attacks from ZeppeIins which are cruising ov- CT the territory almost every night.

VALDEZ, Sept. 2S.-Charles F. Bun nell never took an active part in poll. tics until the campaign for Delegate to Congress more than two years ago, when he was an active supporter of Judge Robert w. Jennings, the Dem ocratic nominee. He participated in the Democratic convention in March, 1912, and was an enthusiastic adher' ent of the candidacy of Gov. Wood row Wilson for the Presidency in the campaign that followed.
 Many Republicans here, knowing of Mir. Punnelrs honesty and ability, wanted him for townsite trustee.
 During his IA years residence in Alaska Mir. Bunnell never affiliated with the Republicans.
