Beginning War.

There was a great difference in the
manner of commencing war centuries
ago to what there is now. Now the
blow is frequently struck before the
word. and there is no obligation to is
sue a formal declaration at all. the act
of war constituting the declaration.
But in medieval times no war ever
began without formal declaration by
a herald. who in d most leisurely man
ner breathed defiance on the part OF
his royal master. exchanged innumer
able bows with his enemies and de-
parted in as dignified manner as ne
came.-London Chronicle.

The head of the rock on which Iii

driven into the solid rock to anchor

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, q
wealthy miner, who makes him a propo-
Eition 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 large
sum IN an unsuccessful attempt to re-
locate the vein and then allowed the land
TO revert for taxes. Hooker and LIE Ian
cey arrive at Fortuna near where the
mine, known as the Eagle Tail, is To-
Gated. 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
cntanElements make 1t impossible Tor
Mendez to secure valid title to the iand.
Phil, who has become interested In Ara
CONS daughter, Gracia. decides to turn
Mexican and get the title in his own
name.
