A Stirring Story OF the
Mexican Revolution

He paused, smiling over the mem.
ory Of his misplaced credulity, and
Hooker and De Lancey Joined in
hearty laugh. From the town bum
that he had first seemed this shabby
little man had changed in their eyes
until now he was border Croesus,
the mere recital Of whose adventures
coniured up in their minds visions Of
gold and hidden treasure.
The rugged face of Bud Hooker,
which had been set in grim lines from
the first, relaxed as the tale proceeded
and his honest eyes glowed with ad-
miration as he heard the well-planned
scheme. AS for De Lancey, he could
hardly restrain his enthusiasm, and,
drawn on by the contagion, Henry
Kruger made maps and answered ques-
tions until every detail was settled.
After the location had been marked,
and the lost tunnel charted from the
corner monuments, he bade them re-
member it we'll and destroyed every
vestige of paper Then, as a final ad-
monition, he said:
Nov go in there quietly, boys
don't hurry. Prospect around little
and the Mexicans will all come to you
and try to sell you lost mines. Cruz
Mendez is the man you're looking for
he's honest, and he'll take you to the
Eagle Tail. After that you can use
your own judgment. So good-by"-he
took them by the hands-"and don't
talk"
He held up warning finger as they
parted, and Bud nodded briefly in
reply. Silence was habit with him,
desert-bred, and he nodded his head
for two.

some compliments 1t was dissipated in
moment.
Good! Pass on, amigos" cried the
beady-eyed little jefe, pasting label
on their pack "Adios, senor," he
added, returning Phil's salute with a
military flourish, and with a scornful
glance at Bud he observed that the
gentleman was muy caballero.
HUH" remarked Bud, as they rode
on through the town, we're in Mexico
all right, all right. Talk with both
hands and get busy with your eye
browe-and holy Joe, look at them
pelones"
The pelones referred to were q
squad of Mexican federal soldiers, So
called from their heads being shaved,
and they we're marching doggedly to
and fro through the thorny mesquit
bushes in response to shouted orders
from an officer. Being from Zacatecas,
where the breed is short, they stood
about as high as their guns; and their
crumpled linen suits and Tapping san
dale detracted sadly from the soldlerly
effect.
Big and hulking, and swelling with
the pride of his kind, Hooker looked
them over slowly, and spoke his hid
den thought.
'T WONDER" he said, turning to Phil.
"how many Of them | could lick with
one hand?"
We'll, they're nothing but lot of
petty convicts, anyway" answered De
Lancey, but here's some boys ahead
that I'll bet could hold you, man for
man, husky as you are. old fellow"
They were riding past a store, now
serving as an improyised barracks,
and romping about In the streets were
a pair of tall Yaqui Indians, each deco
rated with cartridge-belt about his
hips in token of his military service.
Laughing and grabbing for holds, they
frolicked like a couple of boys until
finally they closed in a grapple that re-
vealed sudden and pantherlike
strength.
And group of others, summing
themselves against the wall, looked up
at the Americans with eyes as fearless
as mountain eagles.
Eyes, that's right" admitted Bud,
returning their friendly greeting, "but
Wen never have no trouble with
them"
We'll, these Nacionales are not so
bad" defended Phil as they passed
the state soldiers of Sonora on the
street, but they're just as friendly as
the Yaquis."
Sure" jeered Bud, when they're
sober! But you get bunch Of em
drunk and ask 'em what they think of
the gringos! No, you got to show me
I've seen too much Of en-"
"You haven't seen as much Of em
as ! have, yet" retorted De Lancey
quickly. 1--WE been all over the repub.

swear these Sonorans here look good
to me. There's no use holding a
crouch against them, Bud - they

For in Mexico there are two peopiee'
the Spaniards and the natives, and the
Indians still remember the days when
they were free.
1t was through such land that Phil
and Hooker rode on their gallant
ponies, leading a pack-animal well
loaded with supplies from the NORTH
and as the people gazed from their
miserable novels and saw their OUTFIT
they wondered at their wealth.
But If they were moved to envy, the
bulk of a heavy pistol. showing through
the swell of each coat, discouraged
them from going farther; and the cold,
searching look of the tall cowboy az
he ambled past stayed in their mem
ory long after the pleasant "Adios!"
of De Lancey had been forgotten.
Americans were scarce in those
days. and what few came by were nd
ing to the north. How bold, then, must
this big man be who rode In front
and certainly he had some great re-
ward before him to risk such horse
among the revoltosos! So reasoned
the simple minded natives Of the noun
tains, gazing in admiration at Copper
Bottom, and for that look in their eyes
Bud returned his forbidding stare.
There is something about good
horse that fascinates the average Mex
ican-perhaps because they breed the
finest themselves and are in position
to judge-but Hooker had developed a
romantic attachment for his trim little
chestnut mount and he resented their
wide-eyed gapings as lover resents
glances at his lady. This, and frontier
education, rendered him short-spoken.

left to the cavalier De Lancey to do
the courtesies of the road.
AS the second day wore on they
dipped down into rocky canyon, with
huge cliffs of red and yellow sandstone
glowing in the slanting' sun, and soon
they broke out into a narrow valley,
we'll wooded with sycamores and mes
quits and giant blackberry trees.
The shrill toots of dummy engine
came suddenly from down below and
a mantle Of black smoke rose majes-
tically against the sky-then, at a turn
Of the trail, they topped the last hill
and Fortuna lay before them.
In that one moment they were set
back again fifty miles-clear back
across the line-for Fortuna was
American, from the power-house on
the creek bank to the mammoth con-
centrator on the hill.
All the buildings were Of stone,
square and uniform. First a central
plaza, flanked with offices and ware
houses; then behind them barracks
and lodging houses and trim cottages
in orderly rows; and over across the
canyon loomed the huge bulk Of the mill
and the concentrator with its aerial
tramway and endless row Of gliding
buckets.
Only on the lower hills, where the
rough country rock cropped up and
nature was at its worst, only there did
the real Mexico creep In and assert It.
