engaged in q desperate rivalry with
Manuel del Rey for the hand of Gra-

He recalled all the circumstances OF

and then the gradual breaking down

they were strangers at heart.

II was outside Buds simple code

have him out II he had to tear down
the jail.
So he slapped his saddle-gun into
the sling, reached for his quirt, and
went dashing down the canyon. At
turn In the road he came suddenly
upon Aragon and the rural, split a
way between them, and leaned. for
ward as Copper Bottom burned up the
trail
1t was long since the shiny sorrel
had been given his head, and he need
ed neither whip nor spurs-but a mile
or two down the arroyo Bud suddenly
reined him in and looked behind Then
he turned abruptly up the hillside and
jumped him out on a point, looked
again. and rode slowly back up the
trail
Aragon and the rural were not in
sight-the question was. were they
following? For short distance he
rode warily. not to be surprised in
his suspicion: then, as he found tracks
turning back, he gave head to his
horse and galloped swiftly to camp.
The horses of the men he sought
stood at the edge of the mine-dump,
and, throwing his bridle-rein down be-
side them, Bud leaped of and ran up
the cut Then he stopped short and
reached for his six-shooter. The two
men were up at the end, down ON their
knees. and digging like dogs after a
rabbit.

that they never looked up from their
work. and the tramp of nookers boots
was drowned by their grubbing until
he stood above them. There he
paused. his pistol in hand. and waited
grimly for developments.
'Ha" cried Aragon, grabbing at a
piece OF quartz that came UP. "Aqui 10

his pocket and placed them together.

jaw dropped at the sight of Bud

served Bud, holding out his hand, and
as the rural jumped, Aragon handed
over the ore. There was a moments e
silence as Bud stood over them-then
he stepped back and motioned them
out with his gun.
Down the jagged cut they hurried
awed Into guilty silence by his an,
: ger. and when he let them mount
without word the rural looked back
surprised. Even then Bud said moth
ing. but the swing of the Texans gun
spoke for him, and they rode quickly
out of sigbt.
You dei.burned greasers!" growled
Bud. returning his pistol with jail
to its holster. Then he looked at the
ore. There were two pieces. one fresh
dug End the other worn. and as he
gnzed at them the worn piece seemed
strangely familiar. Aragon had beer
comparing them-but where had he
got the worn piece?
Once more Bud looked 1t over, and
then the rock fell from his hand II
was the first piece they had found
