CHAPTER XIV.

In a land of class privilege and off,
ciaI graft it is often only in times Of
anarchy that a poor man can get his
rights. For eight months Hooker had
battIed against the petty intrigue of
Aragon and the agente mineral, and
then suddenly, when the times turned
to war and fear gripped at their hearts,
he rose up and claimed his own, hold
ing out his brawny right hand and de-
handing the concession of his mine
In day the whirlfgig of fortune had
turned, and it was the fighting man
who dominated. He spoke quietly and
made no threats, but the look in his
eye was enough, and the agente gave
him his papers. Then he wrote out q
receipt for the mining tax and Bud
stepped forth like a king.
With his papers inside his shirt and
a belt of gold around his waist there
was nothing left in Mexico for him
Once on his horse and headed for the
line and he could laugh at them all
In Gadsden he could show title to
Kruger, he could give answer for his
trust and look the world In the eye
It had been a long and strenuous
fight; a fight made against seemingly
insurmountabIe odds; a fight that had
cost him much, but he had won He
had proved the trust Kruger had
placed in him, and it had been fight
worth winning.
Yes, he was a man now-but his
work was not quite done. Up at the
big house, with the screeching women
around her, was Gracia Aragon, and
he owed her something for his rough
words. To pay her for that he would
stay. Whatever she asked now he
would grant it; and If worst came to
worst he would take her with him and
make good his promise to Phil He
had given his word and that was
enough. Now he had only to wait
It would not be long, for the parley
would soon be over, and Il the coward
" rurales surrendered the town to
the bandits he would make break for
the line and civilization with the girl
It would be hard ride, and alone he
would have no fear OF the results, but
he would chance 1t even with the girl
rather than leave her.
The boy lieutenant, the brothers
Mendoza, the superintendent, and Man
ueI del Rey, all were out on the hill
side talking terms with Bernardo
Bravo and his chiefs. With the rebels
it was largely a bluff, since field
glasses had shown them ts be short Of
cartridges; but they had over = thou
sand men Dassed along the ridges
and, with courage, could easily take
the town.
Bud knew that courage was the enc

FOUND WAY TO SEE PARIS
EngIishman Quickly Got on to Scheme
Which Enabled Him to do" the
City Thoroughly.

There is a very good friend of mine,
whom I now call the New Innocent
Abroad, says a writer in the London
Times. Though he has lived the great
er portion of his life in the West end
Of London, circumstances have always
conspired to prevent him crossing the
channel.
He cannot speak a word Of French,
and last week he spent three days In
Paris.
When he came back I went to see
him.
Il think have seen everything there
is to be seen In the streets OF Paris, he
said when met him, because I dis
covered the ideal way Of seeing a
strange city.
Whenever I wanted to go anywhere
I signaled a taxicab and showed the
driver the address wanted. Now, all
these French cab drivers are men with
wonderful intuitions- They knew at
once that really wanted to see Paris
In all its beauty So they took charge
Of me, and whenever wanted to go
from one office to another they drove
me all round the city.
Often after the first day I knew
that the place 1 wanted to call at was
not more than q few hundred yards
away from the hotel. Still the cab
drivers determined that 1 should i'm
prove my knowledge Of Paris.
''The proper way to pursue this
method Of sightseeing Is to drive for
half an hour in silence. Then you
stop the cab with violent signals, pro
duce your written address again and

treats you as though you are a naugh-
ty child Meanwhile, a small crowd

all anxious to prefer you their serv-
ices.

change Of courtesies you start on an
other Joy ride for half an hour or 50.

As for the Aendozas and their So
Moran miners, they were properly
chagrined at their waste of ammuni-
ton and swore by Santa Guadalupe to
fight it out with hand grenades- Even
as their leaders Wrangled the Mexican
powder men were busiIy manufacture
ing bombs. and all the while the su-
perintendent was glancing to the
south, for swift couriers had been sent
to- Alvarez, the doughty Spanish ha-
ciendado OF the hot country. to beg
him to come to their relief.
Twice before Alvarez had met the
rebels The first time he spoke them
well and they ran on all his horses.
The second time he armed his Yaquis
and Yaqui Mayo rancheros against
them and drove them from his domain,
inflicting a sanguinary punishment
Since then he had been itching to
engage them in a pitched battle, and
when the word reached him he would
come. Two hundred and forty Yaquis,
all armed with repeating rifles, would
follow at his back, and even with his
boosted thousands Bernardo Bravo
could hardly withstand their valor. So.
while the rebels parleyed, demanding
ransom Of millions and threatening
to destroy the town, the defenders
argued and reasoned with them,
hoping to kill the time until Alvarez
should arrive.
In the open space in front Of the
house the refugees gathered in an anx-
ious group, waiting for messengers
from the front, and as Hooker walked
among them he was aware of the ma
Hgnant glances Of Aragon- There were
other glances as well, for he had won
great favor with the ladies by ditching
the powder train, but none from Ora
cia or her mother.
Bud would Lot have admitted that
he resented this lack Of appreciation
on the part Of Gracia. In fact he hard
ly knew that he did resent it, but he
watched anxiously for any sign Of ap-
proval from this girl who was to be
his pardner's bride should he conduct
her safely to the border.
From the beginning the Sonora Ara
gon had treated him as a stranger, &C
cOrding to the code of her class, and
Hooker had never attempted to in
trude. But If Gracia still remembered
that she was an American girl at heart,
she forgot to show 1t to him. To all
she was now the proud Spanish lady.
thrown with the common people by
the stress OF circumstances, but far
away from them in her thoughts.
The conference between the leaders
dragged on and messengers came and
went with the news-then, after hours
OF debate, it broke up suddenly in a
row and the emissaries came back on
the run. Even at that they narrowly
escaped, for the rebels opened fire
upon them from the ridges, and before
they could get back to cover the
dandy, Manuel del Rey, received bull
let hole through the crown Of his hat.
A grim smile f1ickered across Buds
face as he saw the damage it had
wrought, for he knew that Amigo was
in the hills-and a bullet shot down

Road Mirrors in India.

The success Of highway mirrors at
dangerous turns and functions of
streets and roads where there is con
siderable traffic in England, has led to
their adoption In India At Bombay
the largest mirror so far erected for
this purpose has been put into use. 1t
is ten feet by five feet in sizeS The
use Of the mirrors on English roads
has demonstrated their value in pre-
venting accidents and collisions on
blind approaches and highway inter
sections. The usual size Of the mir
rors now in use is between two and
one-half and eight feet long by about
three feet wide.-Popular Electricity.

ONE PHASE OF MARRIED LIFE
Seeming UnhappIness Most Probably
Due to Lack OF Something to
Talk About.

It is the eternal tete-a-tete OF mar
ried life that most critics Of that bliss
full condition find fault with. From 1t
spring boredom and dull, sodden ST.
lence, assert these cynics. Therefore.
a hint for escaping this one depress-
ing quality of marriage should have
our best attention.
To illustrate, you viii see it fire.
ouentIy on the trolley, when q man
and his wife are sitting side by side
It is almost perpetual silence. They
have nothing to say to one another.
Perhaps the wife will emit cheerful
peep, but the husband will respond
with a nod Of the head or hesitating
yes or no. It is most always that way.
No common interest observed. In fact.
Il looks as If they are mad at one an
other; as If they were bored. A young
man or woman looking on the couple
would be apt to say: 20, you married
life"
But they are not mad Let some
charming lady acquaintance come In
and sit down by the husband and he is
all smiles and has plenty to say. Then
he is a cordial companion He is 3
changed man. And the same 1t would
be with the woman. Now, don't misin-
terpret the scene. When that man and
wife get hack home they drop their
trolley manners and act sensibly and
lovingly again. Mad-he would just
as likely be mad at the evening star
or a bush full Of roses. But you
wouldn't think it on the troIley.-EeW
