CHAPTER XIV.

In a land OF class privilege and off,
cial graft it is often only in times of
anarchy that a poor nan a get his
rights. For eight months Hooker mad
battled against the petty intrigue of
Aragon and the agente mineral and
then suddenly, when the times turned
to war and fear gripped at their hearts.
he rose up and claimed his own, hold
ing out his brawny right hand and de-
manding the concession of his mine.
In a day the whirligig of fortune had
turned, and 1t was the fighting man
who dominated. He spoke quietly and
made no threats, but the look in his
eye was enough, and the agente gave
him his papers. Then he wrote out a
receipt for the mining tax and Bud
stepped forth like a king.
With his papers inside his shirt and
a belt of gold around his waist there
was nothing left In Mexico for him.
Once on his horse and headed for the
line and he could laugh at them all.
In Gadsden he could show title to
Kruger, he could give answer for his
trust and look the world in the eye.
1t had been a long and strenuous
fight; a fight made against seemingly
insurmountable odds; a fight that had
cost him much, but he had won. He
had proved the trust Kruger had
placed in him, and 1t had been a fight
worth winning.
Yes, he was a man now-but his
work was not quite done. Up at the
big house, with the ~screeching women
around her, was Gracia Aragon, and
he owed her something for his rough
words. To pay her for that he would
stay. Whatever she asked now he
would grant It; and II worst came to
worst he would take her with him and
make good his promise to Phil. He
had given his word and that was
enough. Now he had only to wait.
1t would not be long. for the parley
would soon be over, and II the coward
ly rurales surrendered the town to
the bandits he would make a break for
the line and civilization with the girl.
It would be q hard ride. and alone he
would have no fear of the results, but
he would chance it even with the girl
rather than leave her.
The boy lieutenant, the brothers
Mendoza, the superintendent, and Man
uel del Rey, all were out on the hill
side talking terms with Bernardo
Bravo and his chiefs. With the rebels
1t was largely q blur, since field
glasses had shown them to be short of
cartridges; but they had over a thous
sand men massed along the ridges
and, with courage, could easily take
the town.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1914-10-09

their ammunition they had the town at
their mercy, and the first thing that
they would demand would be the refu-
gees in the big house.
Before that could be permitted the
Americans would probably take a
hand in the fight, for, while the great
majority of the women in the house
were Mexican, there were a few
Americans, and they would be pro-
tected regardless of international COM
plications. But Gracia Aragon was
not an American, and she could not
claim the protection of these country
men of his.
The possession of the town; the
arms of the defenders; food, clothing
and horses to ride-none Of these
would satisfy them. They would de-
mand the rich Spanish landowners to
be held for ransom, the women first
of all. And Of all those women hud-
died up in the casa grande not M
would bring a bigger ransom than Ora
cha Aragon.
Bud pondered upon the. outcome as
the emissaries wrangled on the hill
side, and then he went back to the
corral to make sure that his horse was
safe. Copper Bottom. too, might be
held for ransom. But, knowing the
rebels as he did, Hooker foresaw a
different fate, and rather than see him
become the mount of some rebel chief
tain he had determined, II the town
surrendered, to make a dash
Riding by night and hiding in the
hills by day he could get to the border
In two days. ALI he needed was a little

So he hurried down to the hotel
again and was Just making a sack Of
food fast to his saddle when he heard
q noise behind him and turned to face
Aragon. For two days the ono
naughty Don Cipriano had skunk about
like a sick cat, but now he was headed
for Gracia's big roam, and the look In
his eyes betrayed his purpose

Hooker in English, and at the gruf
challenge the S~paniard stopped In his
tracks. The old, hunted look came
back into his eyes. be seemed to
