CHAPTER TX.

Not the least of the causes which
have brought Mexico to the brink of
the abyss is the endless quarrel be-
tween church and state, which has al
most destroyed the sanctity of mar
riage and left, besides, a pitiful her
itage of deserted women and father
less children as its toll.
Many an honest laborer has peoned
himself to pay the priest for his mar
rage, only to be told that it is not
legal in the eyes of the law; and many
another, married by the judge, has
been gravely informed by the padre
that the woman is only his mistress,
and the children born out of wedlock.
So that now, to be sure hat she is
welded, a woman must be married
twice, and many a couple. on account
of the p%rohibitive fees, are never mar
ried at all.
Cruz Mendez was no different from
the men OF his class, and he believed
honestly that he was married to the
comely Maria; but Hooker could have
enlightened him on that point If he
had cared to do it.
Bud was playing a game, with the
Eagle Tail mine for a stake; and, be-
ing experienced at poker, he stood pat
and studied his hand. Without doubt
Mendez had lost his usefulness as q
locator of the mine, since Maria was
not his legal wife and could not sign
the transfer papers as such. Accord
ing to the law of the land, the woman
now living with Aragon's mayordomo
was the Legitimate wife Of the con-
tract, and she alone could release title
to the mine once Mendez denounced
the claim. 1t
But Mendez had not yet denounced
the claim-though for a period of
some thirty days yet he had the ex-
elusive privilege of doing so-and Bud
did not intend that he should.
Meanwhile they must walk softly,
leaving Aragon to still hug the delu-
sion that he would soon, through his
mayordomo, have them In his power
and when the full sixty days Of Cruz
Mendez's mining permit had expired
they could locate the mine again.
But how-and through whom? That
was the question that Bud vas study

what me matter. Buaz raT1ea
Phil, after he had jollied him for a
week; you're getting mighty quiet
lately. Got another hunch-like that
n you had up at Aqua Negra?"
Nope" grinned Bud; but I'll tell
you one thing-if old Aragon don't
spring something pretty soon I'm GO
Ing to get uneasy. He's too ~dog-goned
good-natured about this"
Maybe he thinks we're stuck" sug-
gested De Lancey.
well, he's awful happy about some
thing" said Bud. u can see by the
way he droops that game eye of his.
and smiles that way-that he knows
we're working for him. If we don't
get a title to this mine. every tap of
work we do on 1t is all to the good
for him, that's a cinch. So sit down
now and think it out-where's the
joker?"
WELL" unused Phil, "the gold is
here somewhere. He knows we're not
fooled there. And he knows we're
right after 1t, the way we're driving
this cut In. Our permit Is good-he
hasn't tried to buffalo Mendez-and
it's a cinch he can't %denounce the
claim himself"
maybe he figures on letting US do
all the work and pay all the denounce-
ment fees and then spring something
big on old One-Eye," propounded Bud.
Scare i'm up or buy I'm off. and have
him transfer the title to him. That's
the way he worked Kruger"
well, say" urged Phil. lets go
ahead with our announcement before
he starts something. Besides. the
warm weather is coming on now, and
If we don't get a move or we're likely
to get run out by the revoltosos."
Nope" said Bud; 81 don't put this
into Mendezs hands until | know he's
our man-and If | ever do go ahead I'll
keep him under my six-shooter until
the last paper Is signed. believe me. /

Viii.

There are some people in this world
with whom 1t seems impossible to quar-
rel, notably the parents Of attractive
daughters.
Perhaps, If Gracia AragoE had not
been watching him from the window
Philip De Lancey would not have been
quite 81 cordial with her father-at
least, that was what Hooker thought,
and he was SO badly peeved at the
way things had gone that he said it,
too.
Then, Of course, they quarreled, and,
one thing leading to another, Phil told
Bad he had a very low way of speak
ing. Bud replied that, whatever his
deficiencies of speech might be. he
was not fool enough to be drawn in
by a skirt, and Phil rebuked him again.
Then, with a scornful grunt, Bud
Hooker rode on In silence and they
said no more about it.
It was a gay life that they led at
night for the Fortuna hotel was filed
with mea of their kind, since all the
staid married men had either moved
across the line with their families or
were under orders to come straight
home.
In the daytime the hotel was nearly
deserted, for every man In town was
working for the company; but in the
evening, when they gathered around
the massive stove, 1t was a merry COM

So they separated, and while Phil
stayed in town to look over the rec
,rds Bud ate his beans and tortillas
with the Mendez family.
They were a happy little family,
comfortably installed in the stone
aoL 3 hat Mendez had built, and rap
lay. From his tent farther up the
canyon Bud could look down and
watch the children at play and see the
comedy Indian wife as she cooked by
the open fire.
Certainly no one could be more In
aocent and contented than she was,
and Ell Tuerto was all bows and pro-
testations of gratitude. And yet, you
never can tell.
Bud had moved out of the new house
to furnish quarters for Ell Tuerto and
had favored him in every way; but
this same consideration might easily
De misinterpreted, for the Mexicans
are slow to understand kindness.
So, while on the one hand he had
treated them generously, he had al
ways kept his distance, lest they be
tempted to presume. But now, with
Phil in town for a few days, he took
his meals with Maria, who was too
awed to say a word, and made friends
with the dogs and the children.
The way to the dogs heart was easy,
almost direct, and he finally won the
attention of little Pancho and Josefa
with a well-worn Sunday supplement
This gaudy institution, with It's spicy
stories and startling Illustrations, had
penetrated even to the wilds of Sonora,
and every Sunday as regularly as the
paper came Bud sat down and had his
laugh over the funny page.
But to Pancho, who was six years
old and curious. this same highly col
Ored sheet was a mystery OF mysteries,
and when he saw the big American
laughing he crept up and looked at it
wistful1y.
Mira said Bud, laying his finger
upon the smirking visage of n of the
comic characters. look, and l will tell
you the story"
And so, with laborious care, he
translated the colored fun, while the
little Mendezes squirmed with excite
ment and leaped with Joy. Even the
simple souls of Ell Tuerto and Maria
wer moved by the comicas, and Men
DEE became so interested that he
learned the words by heart, the better
to explain them to others.
But as for Mexican treachery, Bud
could find none of it. In fact, finding
them so simple-hearted and good-na.

Very likely, very likely" comment
ed Bud dryly. without listening to a
word: Isl, senior, 20 piensol"
A wave of fury swept over the Span
iard's face at this gibe and he turned
suddenly to De Lancey.
-Senor," he said. you seem to be a
gentleman. Perhaps you will listen to
me. This mine upon which you are
working is mine. l have held 1t for
years, seeking for the lost vein of the
old padres. Then the rebels came
sweeping through the land. They stole
my horses. they drove of my cattle,
they frightened my workmen from the
mine ! was compelled to fiee-myself
and my family-to keep from being
held for ransom. Now you do me the
great injustice to seize my mine!"
"Ah, no., senor,s protested De Lam
cey, waving his finger politely for ST.
1ence, you are mistaken. We have
inquired about this mine and 1t has
been vacant for some time. There is
no vein-no gold. Anyone who wished
could take 1t. While we were pros
pecting we met this DOR one-eyed
man and he has taken out a permit
to explore it. So we are going to dig
that is ALL"
"But, senori" burst out Aragon-and
he voiced his rabid protests again,
while sudden faces appeared in the
windows and wide-eyed poems stood
gawking in a crowd. But De Lancey was
equally firm, though he glimpsed for
the first time the adorable face of La
Gracia as she stared at him from be-
hind the bars.
mo, senor," he said, you are mis-
taken. The land was declared forfeit
for non-payment of taxes by the min
lister of Fomento and thrown open
for location. We have located it-that
is all"
For a minute Don Cipriano stood
looking at him, his black eyer heavy
with rage; then his anger seemed to
fall away from him and he wiped the
sweatf tom his brow
Very WELL" he said at last, II per
ceive that you are a gentleman and
have acted in good faith-it is only
that that fellow Mendez has deceived
you. Let it pass, them will not
quarrel with you, my friend-it is the
fortune of But stop at my store
when you go by and come and see me.
1t is indeed lonely here at times, and
perhaps I a pass a pleasant hour
with you. My name, senior. is Don
Cipriano Aragon y Tres Palacios-and
yours?"
He held out his hand with a little
gesture.
Philip De Lancey," replied Phil.
clasping the %proffered hand; and with
many expressions of goodwill and
esteem, with a touching of hats and a
wiggling of fingers from the distance,
they parted, In spite of Bud. the best
of friends.

tured, he became nalr asnamed or MIS-
early suspicious and waited for the
return of Phil to explain Don Cipri-
amos complacency.
But the next Sunday, as Bud lay
reading in his tent, the mystery solved
itself. Cruz Mendez came up from the
house, hat in hand and an apologize
smile on his face, and after the Gus
tomary roundabout remarks he asked
the boss as a favor If he would lend
him the page of comic pictures.
"Segurol" assented Bud. rolling over
and fumbling for the funny sheet;
then, failing to find it instantly, he In
quired: What do you want 1t FORT"
"Ah, to show to my boy!" explained
Ell Tuerto, his one eye lighting up with
pride.
"Who-Pancho?"
"Ah, no. senor." answered Mendez
simply, my boy in La Fortuna, the
one you have not seen."
Bud stopped fumbling for the paper
and sat up suddenly. Here was a new
light on their faithful servitor. and one
that might easily take away from his
value as a dummy locator.
"Ohi" he said, and then: How
many children have you. Cruz?"
Cruz smiled deprecatingly. as par
ents will, and turned away.
by which woman?" he inquired, and
Bud became suddenly very calm, fear
ing the worst. Fol II Cruz was not
legally married to Maria, he could not
transfer the mining claim.
by all of Them" he said quietly.
"Five in ALL" returned Cruz-"three
by Maria. as you know-two by my
first woman-and n other. / do not
count him"
well, you one-eyed old ~reprobate!"
muttered Bud in his throat, but he
passed it off and returned smiling to
the charge.
where does your boy live now?"
he asked with flattering s~olicitude, the
better to make him talk, land is he
old enough to understand the pic
tures?"
"Ah, yes!" beamed Mendez, 'he is
twelve years old. He lives with his
mother now-and my little daughter,
too. Their is the woman of
the mayordomo of the Senior Aragon-
a bad man, very ugly-she is not mar
ried to him"
But with you suggested Bud, re-
garding him with a steely stare.
"Only by the judge!" exclaimed
Mendez virtuously. ut was a love
match, and the priest did not come
so we were married by the judge.
Then this bad mayordomo stole her
away from me-the pig-and l mar
ried Maria instead. Maria is a good
woman and married her before the
priest-but l love my other children,
too, even though they are not lawful"
$50 you married your first wife be-
fore the judge" observed Bud cynical
ly, land this one before the priest. But
how could you do that, unless you had
been ~divorced?"
"Ah, s%enor," protested Mendez, hold
ing out his hands, you do not under
stand. 1t is only the church that can
really marry-the judge does it only
for the money. Maria is my true wife
and we have three nice children
but as / am going through La Fortuna
l should like to show the picture paper
to my boy"
Bud regarded him in meditative ST.
lence, then he rose up and began a de-
teImined search for the funny sheet.
"All right" he said, handing 1t over,
"and here is a panoche of sugar for
your little girl-the n in La Fortuna.
1t is nothing" he added, as Mendez
began his thanks.
But oh, you marrying Mexican he
continued, relapsing into his mother
tongue as Ell Tuerto disappeared; you
certainly have dished us right"
