On the untrammeled frontier, where most men are willing to pass for what they are without keeping up any front" much of the private business, as well as the general devilment, is transacted in the back rooms of sa- loons- The Waldorf was nicely fur nished in this regard.
 After a drink at the bar, in which De Lancey and Hooker joined, Henry Kruger led the way casually to the rear, and in a few moments they were safely closeted.
 Now" began Kruger, as he took a seat by the table and faced them with snapping eyes, "the first thing want to make plain to you gentlemen is, if l make any deal today it's to be with MT. Hooker. If you boys are partners you can talk 1t over together, but I deal with one man, and that's Hooker.
 All right?" he inquired. glancing at De Lancey, and that young man nodded indulgently. r
 ~Very we'll. then." resumed Kruger, now to get down to business. This mine that Pm talking about is located down here in Sonora within three hours ride of a big American camp It isn't any old Spanish mine, or lost padre layout; it's a well-defned ledge running three or four hundred dollars to the ton-and know right where il iA, too.
 What want to do Is to establish the title to it now, while this revolu tion Is going on, and make a bonanza out of 1t afterward. Of course, if you boys don't want to go back into Mex leo, that settles 1t; but if you do 20 and let you in on the deal, you've got to see it through or I'll lose the whole thing.

Through Traffic Problem.

There is phase of the road ques- ton which is statewide in its applica- ton. That relates to the through or trunk lines which accommodate through traffic. To leave the construc- tion and care of these roads in the hands of local authorities must result in uneven and inharmonious gaps, and desultory care, involving practically a failure of such roads for a standard of their utility.

crumpled linen suits and Tapping san dals detracted sadly from the soldierly effect.
 Big and hulking, and swelling with the pride of his kind, Hooker looked them over slowly, and spoke his hid den thought
 T wonder" he said, turning to Phil. 'how many of them I 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 as you are, old fellow" They were riding past store, now serving as an improvised barracks, and romping about in the streets were a pair of tall Yaqui Indians, each deco rated with a 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"
 Well, 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 'em drunk and ask 'em what they think of the gringos! No. you got to show me I've seen too much of 'em." You haven't seen as much of 'em l as I 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 grouch against them. Bud - they haven't done ue any dirt" No, they never had no chance" l 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. We'll. I'll tell 'em one thing" he ended, reaching down to pat his horse, they'll never get old Copper Bottom here-not 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 I got a low-down hunch that we're going to get in bad"
 Well, I've got just as good hunch. |" came back De Lancey, that we're go- ing to make killing"
 Yes, and speaking about killings" !" said Bud, you don't want to overlook | that"
 He pointed at group of disman- tied adobe buildings standing out on the edge of the town and flanked by a segment of whitewashed wall all spat- tered and preached with bullet-holes
 There's where these prize Mexicans of yourn pulled of the biggest killing in Sonora. I was over here yesterday with that old prospector and he told me that that wall is the bull-ring. After the first big fight they gathered up three hundred and fifty men, more or less, and throwed lem in a trench along by the wall-then they blowed it over on 'em with few sticks of dyna- mite and let 'em pass for buried.

CHAPTER w.

From the times of David and Jona- than down to the present day the world has been full of young men venture in pairs. "Pardners," they call them in the west, and though the word has not crept into the dictionary yet, 1t is as different from partner" as a friend Is from a 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 El Paso when the revolution was just beginning to boil and the city was swarmtng with adventurers. The agents of the rebels were everywhere, urging Americans to join their cause. Military preferment, cash payments, and grants of land were the baits 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 fugitives streamed out of stricken Chihuahua, they finally struck out against the tide, fighting their way to a certain mine far back in the Sierra Madres, where they could dig the gold on shares.
 p0hi nd h1 hnf Casas Grandes was taken and retaken i; Juarez, Agua Negra and Chihuahua fell; Don Porfrio, the Old Man of Mex ico, 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 sundown and rode all the night for their lives.
 And now, welded together by all that toll and danger, they were pardners cherishing no deiusions as to each | others strength or weaknesses, but | joined together for better or worse It was the last thing that either of them expected, but three days after they fled out of Mexico, and with all their money unspent, the hand of fate seized upon them ard sent them back 1 to another adventure.
 It 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 a new pair of high-heeled boots, and knew him by the way he rode; and the mining men looked searchingly at De Lancey, as if tc 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 Agua Negra across the line
 It was grim place to look at, thii border town of Agua Negra, for the war had swept it twice. A broad waste of level land lay between 1t and the prosperous American city, and across this swath, where the Mausers ant machine guns had twice moved. la,
