"Ah, good morning, Don Felipe" re-

in the accepted Spanish manner, while
Bud hooked one leg over the horn OF
his saddle and regarded the hacienda
with languid eyes.
But as his gaze swept the length OF
the yine.covered corredor 1t halted for
a moment and a slow smile came over
his face. In the green depths Of a
passion-fower vine he had detected
a.. quick, birdlike notion; and then
suddenly, like a transformation scene,
he beheld a merry face, framed and

made no sign that he saw her, and
when he looked up again the face had

rode into town he looked for the

smiled again. That was the way Ora

He did not point out the place to
Phil, nor betray her by any sign. All
he did was to glance at her once and
then ride on his way, but somehow his
heart stood. still when he met her

a pensive, %brooding melancholy.

Bud stopped fumbling for the paper
and sat up suddenly. Here was a new
light on their faithful servitor, and one
that might easily take away from his
value as a dummy locator.
"Oh!"' he said, and then: How
many children have you, CRUZ"
Cruz smiled deprecatingly, as par
ents will, and turned away.
"By which woman?" he inquired, and
Bud became suddenly very calm, fear
ing the worst. For If Cruz was not
legally married to Maria, he could not
transfer the mining claim.
"By all of Them" he said quietly.
Five in ALL" returned Cruz-"three
by Maria, as you know-two by my
first woman-and one other. l do not
count him."
well, you one-eyed old reprobate!"
muttered Bud in his throat, but he
passed it off and returned smiling to
the charge.
Where does your boy live now?"
he asked with fattering solicitude, the
better to make him talk, and is he
old enough to understand the pic
tures?"
"Ah, yes!" beamed Mendez, he is
twelve years old. He lives with his
mother now-and my little daughter,
too. Their mamma is the woman Of
the mayordomo Of the Senior Aragon-
a bad man, very ugly-she is not mar
ried to him"
But with YOU" suggested Bud, re-
garding him with a steely stare.
"Only by the judged" exclaimed
Mendez %virtuously. 1T was a love-
match, and the priest did not come
so we were married by the judge.
Then this bad mayordomo stole her
away from me-the pig-and l mar
ried Maria instead. Maria is a good
woman and l married her before the
priest-but l love my other children,
too, even though they are not lawful"

ly, land this one before the priest. But

been divorced?"

SOLDIERS MENACE VERA CRUZ.
Another Demand Made of Americans
for Surrender OF Waterworks.

Washington, May 4. - Another
fruitless demand by Mexican soldiers
for surrender Of the watcrworks just
outside Of Vera Cruz was reported to
the war department to-day by Gen.
Funston. The report said that MeXi-
can officers, called upon an American
outpost to surrender, but made no
vigorous effort to enforce their de
mand. The MeXicans retired and no
shots were fired. Gen. Funston has
asked for instructions as to contem-
plated steps.

ed the outlook at Vera Cruz with de-
partment heads. The secretary said
that no more troops had been order
ed to reinforce the Americans now at
the base Of this governments Mexi-

however. that plans were in readiness
for immediate action should there
appear any hostile move on the par.

Of Vera Cruz.
Although officials here are going

surances are given that this govern
ment would not be caught Mapping
should there be any break, author

CHARLESTON SPLITS AGAIN.
Two County Conventions Held
Grace and Followers Withdraw.

Charleston, May 4.-Charleston
county started out to-day to hold one
Democratic convention, but not long
after the meeing was called to order
by Chairman Connor there was
split, and two conventions were held
in one hall Of the Hibernian Society
building, the Blease-Grace faction
and the opposition electing two sets
OF officers, delegates and executive
committeeman. Mr.. Grace appealed
soon after the convention jopened
from the action of the county eXecu-
tive committee last Friday night in
putting on the prima facie rolls all
uncontested clubs, whether they had
complied with the rule Of certifying
their elections three days after meet
ing or not. Chairman Connor ruled
him out of order, and then 1t was
that Mr.. Grace formed the independ-
ent convention on one side of the
hall. while the other convention,
claiming to be a regular meeting,
proceeded with its program. Only
during the split was there any out
break of excitement and that sub
sided when the two bodies got down
to business.
Jos. w. Barnwell was temporary
chairman of the regular meeting and
was made permanent chairman. Le-'
land Moore was elected chairman of
the executive committee and George
Swan as State executive committee
man. A full delegation and alter
mates were elected to the State Con-
ventiOn. Resolutions as to regula-
ton. Of club rolls and for primary re-
form were adopted.
+. J. Torlay was elected temporary
chairman Of the Grace convention
and J. p. Michel permanent chair
man. w. Turner Logan was elected
tC the executive committee and chair
man and w. f. Livingston State
executive committeeman. Delegates
and alternates to the State Conven-
tion were elected, all Blease men.
Resolutions condemning a state OF
affairs permitting the buying Of a
seat in the highest legislative body
Of the country and then committing
perjury to retain 1t, and that the con-
ventton adjourn for ten days subject
TO the call OF the chairman were ad-
opted.
The outcome Of Charleston's split
convention will mean that the State
convention will again have to pass
upon the claims Of representatives of
the two factions for recognition.

safeguarding the Primary.

Prof. l.. A. Sease, of Clemson Col
lege, presented a resolution from his
local club strongly advocating the
safeguarding Of the primary. The
Clemson resolution brought out seve-
raj talks rnlatinga to this question,
each one who spoke in reference to
the matter iavoring such action on
the part OF the State Convention as
will tend to purify and safeguard the
primary, and purge the system of
possible fraud and irregularities,
without endangering the franchise CT
any qualified Democratic voter. Af-
ter the discussion on the Clemson
resolution the following was unani-
mously passed by the County Con-
Vention:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this convention that our delegation
to the State Democratic Convention,
and our State Executive Committee
man, do all in their power to secure
such changes in the party constitu-
ton and rules as will safeguard the
primary election from Irregularities
and frauds, and so as not to disfran-
chise any Democrat casting an hon
est vote.
The Convention n Unit.
There has seldom been County
Convention where such unanimity
of sentiment prevailed. Everything
passed off quietly, without the inter
ruption even Of the slightest clash.
The spirit shown was good through
out, the end in view apparently be-
ing to present solid front from Oco-
nee as arrayed against any question
able methods in politics and the pre-
vention Of frauds of any kind appear
ing in the work of the primary for
the selection OF officials.
The County Executive Committee
met Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the County Convention, dis
posing of few routine matters and
adjourning subject to the call of the
county chairman
Prof. l.. A. Sease, Of Clemson,
was chosen secretary of the executive
committee. t
A rule was adopted whereby all
Democratic clubs in the county that
have failed so far to reorganize were
authorized to do so on the first Sat-
C,lrday in June. Local presidents and
secretaries should hear this in mind
