to take this girl through to Gadsden
and to Phil, and his loyalty was such
that he would not admit, even to him
self, that Phil did not deserve her.
Alone, he would have taken to the
mountains with fine disregard for
trails, turning into whichever served
his purpose best and following the
lay of the land. Even with her in his
care it would be best to do that yet,
for there would be trailers on their
track at sunup, and it was either ride
or fight.
Free at last from the pent-in canyon,
they halted at the forks. while Bud
looked out the land by moonlight. Dim
and ghostly. the square-topped peaks
and buttes rose all about him. huge
and impossible except for the winding
trails. He turned up valley between
fast walk.
From one COW trail to another he
picked out way to the north, but the
lay Of the ground threw him to the
east and there were no passes between
the hills. The country was rocky.
with long parallel ridges extending to
the northeast, and when he saw where
the way was taking him Bud called a
halt till dawn.
By the very formation he was being
gradually edged back toward For
tuna, and it would call for fresh
horses and rested Gracia to outstrip
their pursuers by day. If the rurales
travelled by landmarks, heading for the
northern passes in an effort to out
ride and intercept him, they might
easily cut him off at the start; but If
they trailed him-and he devoutly
hoped they would-then they would
have a tangled skein to follow and he
could lose them in the broken country
to the north.
So thinking, he cut grass among the
rocks, spread down their saddle
blankets and watched over the
browsing horses while Gracia
stretched out on the bed. After a day
of excitement and a night of hard rid
ing there is no call for a couch Of
down, and as the morning star ap-
peared in the east she slept while Bud
sat patiently by.
1t was no new task for him, this
watching and waiting for the dawn,
For weeks at time. after hsrd

Bud. 81 was afraid they might be in
'front.'" he explained, as she gazed at
him with a puzzled smile.
'Yes," she said; "but what will you
do II they catch us?"
They won't catch u.s." replied Hook
er confidently. Not while I've got my
rife. Aha!" he exclaimed, still look
ing back, now we know all about it
that sorrel is Manuel del Rey's!"
And will you kill him?" challenged
Gracia, rousing suddenly at the name.
Hooker pretended not to hear. In
stead, he cooked his eye up at the
eastern mountain, whence from time
to time came muf1ed rifie-shots, and
turned his horse to 60. There was
trouble over there to the east some
,where-Alvarez and his Yaquis, still
harying the retreating rebels-and
some of it might come their way.
With Rel Rey behind them, even
though in sight, he was the least of
their troubles, and could be easily
cared for with q rife shot if they
could not distance him. Hooker knew
that the two rurales with him would
not continue the pursuit If their lead
er was out Of the way, SO that it would
not be necessary to injure more than
one man.
"Ah, how I hate that mani" ragged
Gracia, squirting her horse as she
scowled back at the galloping Del
Rey and his men who were riding on
ward rapidly.
"All right" observed Bud with a
quizzical smile, 'I'll have to kill him
for you them"
She gazed at him moment with
eyes that were big with questioning,
but the expression on his rugged face
baff1ed her.
II would not forget it." she cried i'm
pulsively. mo, after all 1 have suf-
fered, think could love the man who
would meet him face to face! But why
do you-ah!" she cried, with sudden
tragic bitterness. You smile! You
have no thought for me-you care
nothing that I am afraid of him! All,

American Victory In War of 1912.

American Victory In War OF 1912.
One hundred years ago occurred the
battle of the barges," between force
of English from the blockading squad
ron in Chesapeake bay and flotilla of
barges and gunboats designed to aid
in the defense of the city of Wash
ington. Commodore Barney, In COM
mand of the American f1otilla, being
threatened with attack by several
large British warships, had taken his
boats up the Patuxent river and found
a refuge in St. Leonard's creek The
British followed with superior force
of barges and small schooners. Hav-
ing no guns with which to wage a
fight at long range, Commodore Bar
ney dashed forward into the midst OF
the enemy. Soon the barges were en-
gagged in desperate hand-to-hand con-
flicts. For more than an hour the ac-
ton ragged, both sides fighting with
vigor and gallantry. But the Ameri-
cans having pierced the British line.
the enemy abandoned the fight and
fed precipitately to their ships.

IF you are looking for something

this revival Of one of the fascinating
achievements of the time of the EN-

constrained to ponder as to whether
we have ever had anything better

This pretty arrangement of the hair

The hair is waved and parted little
to one side in a very short part. This
waved portion is brought to the back

coils pinned fiat below the crown. The
hair over the ears is separated into
strands and curled in three rather
tight curls. A strand Of pearls, fin

is clasped round the head. Below 1t
across the forehead there Is slightly
curled fringe of hair.

good that it challenges the classic
models of the Greeks and divides hon.

PREPARED FOR GRANNY DAY"
Up Treasure at the Rate OF
$s,o0o,oO a Year.

The largest private hoard in the
world is probably that owned by the
Ameer of Bokhara, the Russian vassal
state in Central Asia, writes the St.
Petersburg correspondent of the New
York Sun. According to the Turke-
stanskiye Kraj the Ameer possesses
in his stronghold a vault 315 feet long,
As feet wide and 20 feet high, COM
pletely filed with gold bars and coined
gold.
Some years ago the Ameer had an
other vault built to hold his savings,
and the new storehouse is now almost
full. There Is at the Bokharan court
an enormous cash book, which has
served for generations and in which
all revenues and expenditures are sup
posed to be put down, but also for gen.
erations it has never been checked
with the cash in hand"
Grating is the easiest thing in the
world at Bokhara. The Ameer's OFF,
cials draw no salary. They are ap-
pointed on the understanding that
they must keep themselves on what
they can make out of their various
Offices. There is no budget, and the
largest permanent charge on the
Ameers income is one of $4,000 an
nually for a local hospital. Then there
is a small contribution toward the up
keep of the Russian police In the pro-
tectorate and the maintenance OF the
Bokharan army which has shrunk
to a mere bodyguard.
The Ameer's annual savings, 1t Is
calculated, amount to more than $S,-
100000 a year He is by traditional
usage compelled to send every year
a number of valuable presents" to
the Russian authorities at Samarkand
and Tashkent. These presents con-
sist of carpets, silks and the like,
which are Immediately sold by the re-
cipients to native traders, from whom
the Ameer as regularly buys them
back at fixed prices, to be stored up
and to serve again as presents the
following year.

CHAPTER XIV.

Though the times had turned to war,
all nature that morning was at peace.
and they rode through a valley of fow-
ers like knight and lady in a pageant
The rich grass rose knee-deep along
the hiIlsides, the desert trees were
filigreed with the tenderest green and
twined with morning-glories. and in
open glades the poppies and sand
verbenas spread forth masses of blue
and gold.
Already on the mesquit-trees the
mocking- g-birds were singing. and bright
flashes of tropical color showed where
cardinal and yellow-throat passed. The
dew was still untouched upon the
grass, and yet they hurried on. for
some premonition whispered to them
Of evil, and they thought only to gain
the far pass.
Beyond that lay comparative safety
but no man knew what dangers lurked
between them and that cleft in the
mountains. Del Rey and his rurales
or Bravo and his rebels might be
there. In fact, one or the other prob
ably was there, and if SO there would
be fight, fight against heavy odds
if he were alone, and odds that would
be greatly increased because he must
protect Gracia
To the west and north rose the high
and impossible mountain which had
barred their way in the night; across
the valley the f1at-topped Fortunas
threw their bulwark against the dawn;
and all behind was broken hills and
gulches, any one of which might give
up armed men. Far ahead, like a
knife-gash between the ridges, lay the
pass to the northern pains, and as
their trail swung out into the open
they put spurs to their Eorses and
galloped
Once through that gap, the upper
country would lie before them and
they could pick and choose. Now they
must depend upon speed and the
chance that their way was not blocked
Somewhere in those hills to the east
Bernardo Bravo and his men were
hidden. Or perhaps they were scat
tered, turned by their one defeat into
rowing bandits or vengeful partizans,
laying waste the Sonoran ranches as
they fought their way back to Chihua-
hua. There were a hundred evil
chances that might befall the fugitives,
and while Bud scanned the country
ahead Gracia cast anxious glances be-
hind.
They are coming" she cried at
last, as moving spot appeared in the
rear. "Oh, there they are!"
Good" breathed Hooker. as he
rose in his stirrups and looked

me of this devil!"

voice thick with rising anger. III l

He jumped Copper Bottom ahead
to avoid her. for in that moment she
had touched his pride. Yes, she had
done more than that-she had de-
stroyed a dream he had, dream OF
beautiful woman, always gentle, al
ways noble, whom he had sworn to
protect with his life. Did she think
he was a pelado Mexican, a hot-coun-
try lover, to be infiameG by a glance
and 8 smile? Then Phil could have
her, and welcome. Her TRADE had
lessened his burden. Now his fight
was but duty to his pardner IN the
performance of which he would be no
less careful, but to turn her over to
Phil would not now be painful.
"Ah, Bud!" she appealed. squirting
up beside him. you did not under
stand! I know you are brave-and II

added, as she rode on through the
brush, "ald I'll take care Of Del Rey.

of the head and resumed his place In
the lead. Here was no place to talk
about men and motives. The noun

hillside, he could see armed men-and

Bud reached for his rife, jerked up
cartridge, and sat crosswise in his
saddle. He rode warily, watching the
distant runner, until suddenly he pulled
in his horse and threw up welcom-
ing hand. The man was Amigo-no
other could come down hillside SO
swiftly-and he was signaling him to
wait.

SOUTH NEGLECTED BY UNITED STATES
IN LAND RECLAMATION WORK

There is pending in congress a meas
ure that would do for the south and
central west all that the reclamation
or irrigation act has done for the arid
west. 1t is the bill presented in the
house by Speaker Clark and in the
senate by Senator John Sharp Will
liams, Of Mississippi. This is known
as the Clark-Williams flood protection
and drainage bill and is supported by
the National Drainage congress whose
next annual meeting is to be held at
Savannah, Ca, April 22-25, 1914.
The CIark-Williams bill will provide
for the systematic, comprehensive AMI
speedy reclamation of swamp and oy-
erfowed lands and their protection
from disastrous floods 1t will be
passed and the south will yet re
ceive the consideration to which this
great and rich and largely undevelop-
ed and neglected section of the coun-
try is entitled. But this will not be
done until our southern senators ami
representatives awake to a realization
of our interests and give their support
to Speaker Clark and Senator viii
liams in procrring this or some sim
liar bill
