effect
Big and hulking, and swelling with
the pride OF his kind, Hooker looked
them over slowly, aud SPOKE his hid

4 wonder" he said, turning to Phil,
"how many of them l could lick with
one hand?"
Well, 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 rs you are, old fellow"
They were riding past store, now
serving as an improvised barracks,
and romping about in the streets were
pair of tall Yaqui Indians, each deco
rated with cartridge-belt about his
hips in token of his military service.
And a group of others, summing
themselves against the wall, looked up
at the Americans with eyes as fearless
as mountain eagles.
Yes, that's right" admitted Bud,
returning their friendly greeting, but
we'll 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 EN-
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 l have. yet" retorted De Lancey
quickly. i've been all over the repub-
| lie, except right here in Sonora, and
swear these Sonorans here look good
to me. There's no use holding a
crouch against them. Bud they
haven't done US any dirt"
mo, they never had no chance"
grumbled Bud, gazing grimly to the
south. But wait till the hot weather
comes and the revoltosos come out OF
their holes; wait till them Chihuahua
greasers thaw out up in the Sierras
and come down to get some fresh
| mounts. Well, I'll tell 'em one thing"
he ended, reaching down to pat his
horse, they'll never get old Copper
Bottom here-Kot unless they steal
him at night. It's all right to be cheer
full about this, Phil, and you keep right
ON being glad, but got low-down

YES, and speaking about killings"
said Bud. you don't want to overlook

He pointed at group Of disman-
tied adobe buildings standing out on

segment OF whitewashed wall all spat-
tered and preached with bullet-holes.
There's where these prize Mexicans

After the first big fight they gathered

CHAPTER ~.

From the times of David and iona,
than down to the present day the
world has been full of young men
sworn to friendship and seeking adj
venture in pairs. "Pardners." they call
them In the west. and though the word
has not crept into tho dictionary get.
1t is as different from partner as a
friend is from business associate.
They travel together, these pardners
Of the West, and whether they be cow
boys or Cousin Jacks" the boss who
fires one Of them fires both of them,
and they go share and share in every
thing.
Bud Hooker and Philip De Lancey
had met by chance in Ell Paso when
the revolution was just beginning to
boil and the city was swarming with
adventures. The agents of the rebels
were everywhere, urging Americans to
join their cause. Military preferment,
cash payments, and grants of land
were the bats they used, but Hooker
stood out from the first and took De
Lancey with him. A Mexican promise
did not pass current where he was
born and they went to the mines In
stead.
Then the war broke out and, while
fugitiyes streamed out OF stricken
Chihuahua, they finally struck out
against the tide. fighting their way to
certain mine far back in the Sierra
Madres, where they could dig the gold
on shares.
Behind them the battle waged /;
Casas Grandes wastaken and retaken /:
Juarez. Aqua Negra and Chihuahua
fell; Don Porfirio, the Old Man of Mex
leo, went out and Madero took his
place; and still they worked for their
stake
Then new arms and ammunition
flowed in from across the border;
Orozco and his rebel chiefs went out
and the breath of war famed higher
against the hills. At last the first
broken band of rebels came struggling
by, and. reading hate and envy
in their lawless eyes, the Americans
dug UP their gold at shutdown and rode
all the night for their lives.
And now, welded together by all that
toll and danger. they were pardners,
cherishing no delusions as to each
others strength or weaknesses. but
joined together for better or worse.
1t was the last thing that either OF
them expected. but three days after
they fed out of Mexico, and with all
their money unspent, the hand of fate
seized upon them and sent them back
TO another adventure.
1t was early morning again. with
crowds along the street, and as they
ambled slowly along toward the line
the men on the corners stared at them,
The bunch OF cowboys gazed at Bud
who sported new pair Of high-heeled
boots, and knew him by the way he
rode: and the mining men looked
searchingly at De Lancey, a. II to
guess the secret OF his quest.
A squad of mounted troopers, riding
out on border patrol, gazed after them
questioningly. but Bud and Phil rode
on soberly. leading their pack. and
headed for Aqua Neg-a across the line
1t was grim place to look at, this
border town Of Aqua Negra, for the
war had swept 1t twice. A broad waste
of level land lay between 1t and the
prosperous American city, and across
this swath, where the Mausers and
machine gus had twiea mnvee. lay

ring-strong, willing, game and a
hard puncher. But l discovered in
my first fight with him, and also by
watching his battle with Nelson. that
he had a glass jaw. or. in other
words, that he could not stand hard
punch to the point and come back.
This gave me a line to work on.
| planned my battle carefully for
weeks ahead. | knew that il was
going to mean the making or the

that he would rush me and punish me

that he could give me and come back
for more of it. | knew that | would

to give in, SO he took Griffin, and that
settled it,
Right here I would like to COM

duct of Wolgast. We let him name
his own ring official, and we did not
even ask for look-in. But after the
fight, when he saw that his champion
ship title was gone, he set up loud
wall.
All the fans remember how he cried
and raved about that decision. Blu;
he did not get any sympathy. because
everybody knew that he fouled just to
keep from being knocked out.

Well. | thought that / would freeze

and my hands were benumbed. For
the first time since the match was
made | began to worry. The change
of climate seemed to affect me right
away, and l was afraid that some
thing would go wrong with me at the
last minute.
Nolan hustled me down to a room
which he had engaged opposite the
arena. He wrapped me in heavy
blankets and I lay in bed for more
than an hour. Nolan moved an oil
stove into the room to help warm me
up, and l must confess that | needed
1t badly. Never in all my life did !

blood in circulation.
But I finally got right and felt like
my own self again. We were called
to weigh in, and I jumped right out

the scales were in readiness in a
back room.
Wolgast landed a couple OF minutes
later | went over and shook hanGs
with him, but, to my surprise, he
seemed sullen and careworn. I ex-

The champion had nothing to say
during the weighing in. He looked
worried and worn, and the longer
sized him UP the more confident
became. There was something
wrong with Wolgast that day, and /
really believe that he knew away
down deep in his heart that he was
going to lose his championship.
