Not the least of the causes which have brought Mexico to the brink of the abyss is the endless quarrel be- tween church and state, which has al most destroyed the sanctity of mar riage and left, besides, a pi ful her itage of deserted women and father less children as its toll.s
 Many an honest Mborer has peoned himself to pay the priest for his mar riage, only to be told that it is not legal in the eyes of the law: and many another, married by the judge, has been gravely informed by the padre that the woman is only his mistress. and the children born out of wedlocki

 Cruz Mendez was no different from the men of his class, and he believed honestly that he was married to the comedy Maria; but Hooker could have enlightened him on that point if he had cared to do 1t. ts
 Bud was playing g game. with the Eagle Tail mine for a stake; and. be- ing experienced at poker, he stood pat and studied his hand Without doubt Mendez had lost his usefulness as a locator of the mine. since Maria was not his legal wife and could not sign the transfer papers as such Accord ing to the law of the land. the woman now living with Aragon's mayordomo was the Legitimate" wife of the con tract, and she alone could release title to the mine once Mendez denounced the claim.

 Why, what's the matter?" said De Lancey. when they were on their way; "don't you like the hotel"

SYNOPSIS.

Bud Hooker and Phil De Lancey arc sorced,s owing to- revolution in Mexico. to give up their mining claim and return 70 the United States. In the border town of Gadsden Bud meets Henry Kruger. a
 wealthy miner. who makes him propo- dton to return to Mexico to acquire title to a very rich mine which Kruger had blown up when he found he had been cheated out, of the title by one Aragon. The Mexican, subsequently, spent a large sum in an unsuccessful attempt to relo- cate the vein and then allowed the land to revert for taxes. Hooker and De Lan- cey arrive at Fortuna near where the mine. known as the Eagle. Tail. Is To- gated They engage the services of Cruz Mendez, who has been friendly to Kruger,
 to acquire the title for them and get a
 permit to do preliminary work. -Aragon protests and accuses them of jumping his

 "Oh!" he said, and then: ~How many children have you. Cruzf"
 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-"threa by Maria, as you know-two by my first woman-and one other. I do not count him."
 Well, you one-eyed old reprobate!" muttered Bud in his throat, but he passed it of and returned smiling to the charge.
 Where does your boy dive now '" he asked with f1attering solicitude, the better to make him talk, "and is he old enough to understand the pie lures ?" gi
 "Ah, yes!" beamed Mendez, The Is twelve years old. He lives with his mother now-and my little daughter, too. Their mamma is the woman 1of the mayordomo of the Senor Aragon- a bad man, very ugly--she is not mar ried to him. s
 "But with you" suggested Bud, re- garding him with steely stare.
 "Only by the judgel" exclaimed 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 mar ried Maria instead. Maria is good woman and married her before the prfest-but love my other children. too, even though they are not lawful." !" So you married your first wife be- fore the judge" observed Bud cynical ly, land this one before the priest But how could you do that. unless you had been divorced?"
 '.Ah, senor." protested Mendez, hold ing out his hands, you do not under stand. It is only the church that can really marry-the judge does it only for the money.

 "Oh. all right" murmured De Lan- cey in subdued tone; but if his con science smote him for the moment 1t did not lead to the making of any sen- timental New Years resolutions, for he stopped when he came to the store and exchanged salutations with Ara gon, who was lounging expectantly be- fore his door.
 "Buenos dias. Don Cipriano!" he hailed. How are you this morning?"
 "Ah, good morning, Don Felipe" re- sponded Aragon, stepping forth from the shadow of the door. T am very well, thank you-and you"
 "The same!" answered Phil, as if it were a great piece of news. 'It is fine weather-no"
 "Yes, but a little dry!" said Aragon, and so they passed it back and forth 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 vine-covered corredor it halted for a moment and slow smile came over his face. In the green depths of a passion-fower vine he had detected a quick, birdlike motion; and then suddenly, like a transformation scene, he beheld a merry face, framed and | illuminated by soft, golden locks, peer. | ing out at him from among the blos- soms Except for that brief smile he made no sign that he saw her, and

CHAPTER VIII.

There are some people in this world with whom 1t seems impossible to quar- rel. notably the parents of attractive daughters.
 Perhaps, if Gracia Aragon had not been watching him from the window Philip De Lancey would not have been quite so cordial with her father at least. that was what Hooker thought, and he was SO badly peeyed at the way things had gone that he said it, s too.
 Then. of course, they quarreled, and, one thing leading to another, Phil told Bud he had very low way of speak ing. Bud replied that. whatever his deficiencies of speech might be. he was not fool enough to be drawn in by skirt, and Phil rebuked him again. Then, with a scornful grunt, Bud Hooker rode on In. silence and they ea2d no more about 1t.
 It was gay life that they led at night for the Fortuna hotel was filled with men of their kind, since all the Z staid married men had either moved 9cross the line with their families or were under orders to come straight home.
 In the daytime the hotel was nearly deserted, for every man in town was working for the company; but in the evening. when they gathered around the massive stove, it was merry com x pany indeed.
 There were college men, full of good stories and stories not so good, world wanderers and adventurers with such tales of the East and West as never have been written in books. But not a college boy could match stories with ' Phil De Lancey. and few wanderers there were who could tell him any, thing new about Mexico. Also, when 1t came to popular songs, he knew both the words and the tune. So he was much in demand, and Don Juan I passed many drinks across the bar be. cause of him.
 In all such festivities the two bard. ners stayed together; Bud, with a broad, indulgent grin, listening to the end. and Phil, his eyes alight with liquor and good cheer, talking and laughing far into the night.
 Outside the winter winds were still s cold aud the Mexicans went wrapped ' to the eyebrows; but within the merry company was slow to quit, and Phil making up for the lonely months when he had entirely lacked an audi ence. sat long in the seat of honor and was always the last to go.
 But on the evening after their spat 2 Bud sat of to one side, and even Phil'i sprightly and ventriloquistic converse tion with the-little- girlbehind-the-dool jailed forth only fleeting smile.
 Bud was thinking. and when en gagged in that arduous occupation ever 2 the saucy little girl behind the doc could not beguile him. 5s
 But, after he had studied 1t all ou : and come to definite conclusion, h,
 did not deliver an ultimathm. The old good-natured smile simply came bacl to his rugged face; he rolled cigar cite; and then for the rest of the eve ming he lay back and enjoyed tn show. Only in the morning, whel
