.
1t was June and the windstorms
which had swept in from the south
east died away. No more, as in the
months that had passed, did the dust
pillar rise from the dump of the For
tuna mill and go swirling up the can
yon.
A great calm and heat settled over
the harassed land, and above the far
blue wall of the Sierras the first thun-
der caps of the rainy season rose up
till they obscured the sky. Then, with
a rush Of conflicting winds, a leaden
silence, and a crash Of Pickering light,
the storm burst in tropic fury and was
gone as quickly as it had come.
So, while the rich landowners of the
hot country sat idle and watched 1t
grow, another storm gathered behind
the distant Sierras; and, as empty
rumors lulled them to a false security.
suddenly from the north came the
news of dashing raids, Of railroads
cut, troops routed, and the whole Dor
der occupied by swarming rebels.
In a day the southern country was
isolated and cut off from escape and,
while the hordes Of Chihuahua insur-
rectos laid siege to Aqua Negra, the
belated Spanish haciendados came
scuttling once more to Fortuna. There,
at least, was an American town where
the courage Of the Anglo-Saxon would
protect their women In extremity. And,
If worst came to worst, 1t was better
to pay ransom to red-fag generals
than to fall victims to bandits and loot
ers.
As the bass roar Of the great whistle
reverberated ver the hills Bud Hook
err left his lonely camp almost gladly,
and with his hard-won gold-dust safe
beneath his belt, went galloping into
town.
Not for three weeks-not since he
received the wire from Phil and To-
Gated the Eagle Tail mine-had he
dared to leave his claim. Rurales, out
laws and Mexican patriots had dropped
In from day to day and eaten up most
Of his food, but one of them had
caught him mapping. and he had no in.
tention that they should.
A conspiracy had sprung up to get
rid Of him, to harry him out of the
country, and behind it was Aragon.
But now, with the big whistle blowing.
Aragon would have other concerns.
He had his wife and daughter, the
beautiful Gracia, to hurry to the town,
and perhaps the thought Of being
caught and held for ransom would de.
ter him from stealing mines. So rea-
soned Bud, and, dragging a reluctant
pack-animal behind him. he came rid
ing in for supplies.
At the store he bought -four and cot
fee and the other things which he
needed most. As he was passing by
the hotel Don Juan de Dios halted him
for a moment, rushing out and thrust.

act of friendship.
Long before he had lost his pardner

SYNOPSIS.

Bud Hooker and Phil De Lancey are
forced. owing to a revolution in Mexico.
TO give up their mining claim and return
10 the United States. In the border town
of Gadsden III meets Henry Kruger, u
wealthy miner, who makes him a propo-
sition to return TO Mexico to acquire title
10 a 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 q
large sum of money in an unsuccessful
attempt 10 relocate the vein and then al
lowed the land to revert for taxes. HOOK
er and lie bancey 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 hat matrt-
monial entanglements prevent Mendez
from acquiring a valid title. Phil, who
has been paying attention to Gracia Ara
igon. decides to turn Mexican and acquire
the title. Aragon fails in his attempt to
drive them off the claim. Rebels are re-
ported 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. cap'
tain OF the rurales and sutton of Gracia's.
He is released or promise to stay away
from Gracia. Phil is forced to enlist in
the %rurales. He asks Bud to take care
of Gracia. The rebels are defeated In q
fierce battle near Fortuna.

ture, he laid open his shirt and pointed
to a seal along the ribs.

"Yes," answered Amigo; but not

He threw up his open hands to sig
nifty that all were gone, and Hooker
said no more. For three months and
more he had worked alongside this
giant, silent Yaqui and only once had
he sensed his past. That was when
Amigo had torn his shirt in lifting,
and across the ripping muscles of his
back there had been shown the long
white vale Of a whip.

ashamed of 1t. But o that he was
about to go, Bud made bold to ask him
n more question, to set his mind OF

Perhaps this captain killed your
~people"
mo, senor," answered Amigo quiet
ly; they died"
He spoke the words simply, but
there was something in his voice that
brought up images of the past-ot
peaceful Yaquis, seized at every ranch
in Sonora on a certain night; of long
marches overland, prodded on by
rurales and guards; of the crowded
prison-ships from which the most an
guished hurled themselves into the
sea; and then the awful years o.
slavery in the poisoned tropics. unit

a troops within the next 10 days.
Washington, d. C.-Despite official
White House announcement that
plans for American evacuation Of
Vera Cruz will not be changed be-
cause of the Villa-C arranza split, it
was learned upon high authority that
the troops departure may be indefin-
itely postponed under pretext of civil
and diplomatic difficulties, pending
the outcome of the new revolt.
Delay in completing formalities for
turning over by Gen. Funston of the
port and customs collections to a
constitutionalist representative will
operate, it is said, to postpone depar-
ture of the troops. Isolation of Vera
Cruz from Mexico City by the cut
ting of railway and wire communica-
tons was also expected to delay the
evacuation.
Nevertheless seven transports are
loading army supplies at Vera Cruz
in anticipation of early surrender of
the city.
Complications viewed with some ap-
prehension in administration circles
ere prospective urgent demands by
Carranza for immediate departure of
the Americans and a protest from
Villa against giving the port to any
Carranza agent. This would present
a difficult and delicate problem to the
president-almost a choice of support
between the rival leaders.
