the general stagnatfon of businesr, he soon had ten Mexicans at his call.
 Then, as Phil had dropped out of sight, he ordered supplies at the store and engaged Cruz Mendez-who had spent his fortune in three days-to pack the goods out on his mules.
 They were ready to start the next morning if De Lancey could be found to order the powder and tools, and as the afternoon wore on and no Phil appeared, Bud went on long hunt which finally discovered him in the balcony of their window, making signs ln the language of the "bear," as a man who flirts with . woman in Mex- leo is called.

 "Well, that's all right" said Bud. as Phil began his laughing excuses; but you want to remember the Maine, pardner-we didn't come down here to play the bear. When they's any love making to be done I want to be in on it. And you want to remember that promise you made me-you said you wouldn't have a. thing to do with the Aragon outfit unless was with you!"
 Why, you arent-you aren't 1eal- ous, are you, Bud?"
 Yes. I'm jealous!' answered Hooker harshly; Jealous as the devil! And I want you to keep that promise. see?'-
 "Aw, Bud" began De Lancey in- credulously; but Hooker silenced him with look. Perhaps he was really jealous. or perhaps he only eaid so to have his way, but Phil saw that he was in earnest, and he went quietly by his side.
 But love had set his brain in a whirl, and he thought no more of his promise-only of some subtler way of meeting his inamorata. some way which Bud would fail to see.

 At that Don Juan came down of the porch in his slippers and they engaged in protracted argument.

CHAPTER XII.

For sixty days and more, while the weather had been turning from cold to warm and they had been laboring feebly to clear away the great slide of loose rock that covered up the ledge, the Eagle Tail mine had re- mained mystery.
 Whether, like the old Eagle Tail of frontier fable, 1t was 50 rich that only the eagles head was needed to turn | the chunks into twenty-dollar gold pieces; or whether, like many other frontier mines. it was nothing but a hole in the ground, was matter still to be settled And Bud, for one, was determined to settle it quickly.
 Come on," he said, as Phil hesi- tated to open up the way to the, lead: i've got q month. maybe less. to get to the bottom of this; and then the hills will be lousy with rebels. If they's nothing here, we want to find out about it quick and skip-and if we strike it, by grab, they ain't enough red-fiaggers in Sonora to pry me loose from it. So show these hombres where to work and we'll be up against a
 The original Eagle Tail tunnel had been driven into the side of a steep hill; so steep, in fact, that the loose shale stretched in long shoots from the base of the drowning porphyry dikes that crowned the tops of the hills to the bottom of the canyon. On either side of the discovery gulch sharp ridges, perforated by the gopher holes of the Mexicans and the ancient workings of the Spaniards, ran di rectly up the hill to meet the contact But 1t was against the face of the big ridge itself that Kruger had driven his drift and exploded his giant blast of dynamite, and the whole slope had been altered and covered with a slide of rock.
 Against this slide, in the days when they were marking time, Bud and his pardner had directed their energies. throwing the loose stones aside. build ing up walls against the slip. and clearing the way to the solid schist There, somewhere beneath the tumble of powder-riven rock, lay the ledge which. if they found 1t, would make them rich; and now with singbe-5aeh and drill. they attacked the last huge fragments, blasting them into pieces and groveling deeper until they could strike the contact, where the schist and porphyry met and the gold spsay had spewed up between.

 And then-or so it seemed to Bud the mother glanced up quickly and fixed her eyes upon him. After that he was in less of hurry to return to the mine, and Phil said they would stay inside for week. But as for Don Cipriano, when he came across them in the crowded lobby he glared past them with malignant insolepce and abruptly turned his back.

A Stirring Story of the Mexicon'
 Reuolution
SYNOPSIS

Bud Hooker and Phil De Lancey/ are forced, owing to revolution in Mexico, to give up their mining claim and return to the United States. In the border town Of Gadsden Bud meets Henry Kruger, wealthy miner. who makes him a propo- sltion to return to Mexico to acquire title to 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, spent a large sum in an unsuccessful attempt to relo- cate the vein and then allowed the land to revert for taxes. Hooked and De Lancey arrive at Fortuna near where the mine, known as the Eagle Tail, is located. They engage the services of Cruz Mendez, who has been friendly to Kruger, to acquire the title for them. and get permit to do preliminary work. Aragon protests and accuses them of jumping his claim. Bud discovers that matrimonial entanglements prevent Mendez from perfecting a valid title. Phil, who has been paying atten- don to Aragon's daughter. Gracia, de- cides to turn Mexican and get the title In his own name Bud objects to Phii.s attentions to Gracia- Aragon fails In his attempt to drive them off the claim.

leaving a great silence where all had been bugle-calls and excitement, and then the first fugitive came in, from down below.
 He was an old Mexican, with trem. bling beard and staring eyes, and he told a tale of outrage that made their blood run cold. The red-faggers had come to his house at night; they had killed his wife and son, left him upon the ground for dead, and carried of his daughter. prisoner.
 But later, when the comisario ques- toned him sharply, 1t developed that he lived not far away. had no daugh- ter to lose, and was, in fact, only a crazed old man who told for truth that which he feared would happen.
 Notwithstanding the denouement, his story stirred the Mexican popula- tion to the depths, and when Bud and Phil tried to hire men to push the work on the mine, they realized that their troubles had begun. Not only was 1t impossible to engage laborers at any price, but on the following day Cruz Mendez, with his wife and chill u on his burros, came hurrying in from the camp and told them he could serve them no more.
 Tt is my woman!" he explained; "my Maria! An, if those revoltosos should see Maria they would steal her before my eyes!" aE
 So he was given his pay and the fifty dollars he had earned and, after the customary "Muchas gracias," and with the faithful Maria by his side, he went hurrying off to the store.
 And nQw in crowded vehicles, with armed men riding in front and behind, the refugees from Moctezuma and the hot country began to pour into town, adding by their very haste to the panic of all who saw them.
 They were the rich property owners who, having been subjected to forced contribution before, were now fleeing at the first rumor of danger, bringing their families with them to escape any being held for ransom.
 In half a day the big hotel presided over by Don Juan de Dios Bracha- monte was swarming with staring eyed country mothers and sternly sub dued families of children; and final ly. to add eclat to- the occasion and compensate for the general confusion, Don Cipriano Aragon y Tres Palacios came driving up to the door with his wife and the smiling Gracia.
 If she had been 1T. any fear of cap ture 4by bold marauders, Gracia Ara gon did not show it now. as she sprang lightly from the carriage and waited upon her lady mother. Perhaps, after a year or more of rumors and alarms, she had come to look upon impending revolutionary conflicts as convenient excuses for trip to town, long stop at the hotel, and even dash to gay Gadsden in case the rebels pressed close.
 However that may be, while Don Juan exerted himself to procure them a good room she endured the gaze of

DEATH CURRENT IN WIRES
How Electricity Was Utilized by Do
tenders at Llege, German Attack
ers Being Electrocuted.

Paris.-The Petit Journal pub
fishes the following details OF the
fighting around Liege, obtained by 1t
from a Belgian officer:
German troops rushed on the barbed-
wire defenses before the forts OF Liege
In the darkness of night. A very
strong current of electricity was be-
ing maintained In these wires, and as
a result the first ranks OF the Ger
mans were electrocuted.
Unchecked, the assailants followed
in masses, but they were blinded by
the glare of powerful searchlights
They hesitated and started to retire.
At that moment heavy fire Of rifles
and artillery was concentrated on the
mass Of German troops and they were
cut to pieces. The mass of bodies
formed mound, in some places many
feet high.
To drown out the groans OF the
wounded, the German bugles sounded
martial airs, and the troops still alive
united In cheering.
Near one fort two columns OF Ger
mans, blinded by the glare Of Belgian
searchlights, attacked each other. This
incident was seen from the fort. When
one side seemed to have the better
of the struggle, the Belgian officer
goes on to say, "our artillery fired
into both sides alike, thus making the
struggle more even"
