town to follow. The Rutland installation
was especially noticeable because there
was opportunity to view it in the evening,

such method of illumination in the
near future.

Bill, being stranger in that section,
and unable to prove a water-tight
albi, had been sent up for six months.
Somewhere outside, with Bills bur-
ros and prospecting outfit, were two
six-shooters. 1t was his ambition to
empty one of these into Ramon, the
sheriff.
His hatred centered about Ramon
for two reasons. Added to this, he
hated him instinctively-which is
stronger than any reasoning. In the
first place, Bill classed him as a
Cholo; secondly, Bill believed that he
knew more about the matter of hair
branding than he chose to tell. He
had no grounds for this save that
Ramon had shown him every meager
courtesy possible during his sentence.
In reality, Ramon was high-caste
Castilian, which differs from Cholo
like wine from pulque, and he was
genuinely concerned over the prison

The Yuma ripped off a match from

inhaling and exhaling luxuriously.
The others looked on with hungry
eyes. They pressed around him en-
treatingly, babbling their jargon. He
blew the smoke in their faces and
watched their quivering nostrils.
Only mestizo who lights one black
cigaret with another during his wax

them within reach of his blanket at
night can understand the frenzy that
descended upon the patio. The men
fell on the Yuma, trampling him and
his treasure under foot. They fought

or friend, as if every man concealed
under his shirt the treasure they
sought. Bill watched them, grinning.

tween is extremely rocky. The rule
of cortraries is one OF the features

the big girls kiss him; when he is
big the little girls kiss him. II he
is poor he is bad manager. If he
is rich he is dishonest If he needs
credit he cant get it. If he is pros
porous, everyone wants to do him a
favor. If he is in politics, it is for
graft: if he is out of politics, he is
no good to his country III he does
not give to charity he is stingy
cuss, if he does. it's for show. If
he is actively religious, he Is
hypocrite. if he takes no interest
in religion he is a hardened sinner
If he gives affection, he is a soft
specimen; if he cares for no one, he
is cold blooded: if he dies young,
icre was great future for him; IL
ne lives to an old age, he missed his
calling. If he saves money. he's a
