CHAPTER XVII.

There was world Of Mexicans in
the plaza when Hooker rode. down
through the town. Never, it seemed to
him, had he seen so many or liked
them less
To the handful of Americans who
remained to man the mill and mine,
they were easily hundred to one;
and though their eyes were wide with
fear of the imminent rebels, they had
an evil way of staring at him which
he did not relish.
Even at the hotel where the Span
ish-Mexican aristocracy was massed
ten deep, he sensed the same feeling
of yelled hostility and wondered vague
ly what it might portend. II Philip De
Lancey, for making love to girl, was
drafted into the army, what would
happen to him if these people should
ever break loose? And did they have
the courage to do their worst?
He fingered around the door for a
while, hoping to meet Don Juan or
some American who would tell him
the news; then, disguised with every
thing. he flung away and left them to
themselves. Fortuna was not white
mans country-he could see that with
out a diagram-but at the same time
he intended to hold his mine until he
could hear from Phil.
Let the tides OF instruction come
and go, let the redhaggers take the
town and the federals take it back
again-at the end he would still be
found at the Eagle Tail, unless Phil
received his title to the mine.
AS for Aragon, whose fine italian
hand he perceived behind the sudden
taking off of Phil, let him make what
trades he would with the rurales and
Manuel del Rey, even to the giving of
his daughters hand; but If, taking adj
vantage of the unsettled times, he
dared to try to steal their mine. then
there would be war to the knife.
1t is a fine, comforting thing to be
single-minded and of one purpose. All
the rest of life is simplified and or
dered then, and man knows when to
raise his hand and when to hold 1t
back.
In his letter Phil had said nothing
about their mine. but he was a Next
can citizen still,s land the mine was in
his name. Bud was his pardner and

At this she broke down and laughed.

Then, as he failed to show any signs

again.

to defend our government when we

him to say nothing if he would escape
being drawn into the quarrel.

peace.

The Land Of Broken Promises


ished! Even as he washed out the
gold PhiYs mind wandered far away,
back to the hotel where Gracia Ara
gon sat watching by the window.
Her hair was the color of gold, spun
fine and refined again; yes. it was
worth more than this golden dross
that he caught in the bottom of his
pan. And what was gold If he could
not have her?
He paused in his labor and dreamy
smile parted his lips-then he broke
into a song:
Sweet honey bee. he sweet to me,
My heart is free, but here's the key;
Lock up the garden gate; honey. you
know I'll wait,
Under the rambler rose tree-ee.
Once more he returned to his work,
humming now the dulcet strains OF
The Merry Widow" and when Bud
came back from the cut it was to hear
a coon song;
Cos l want yer. me honey, yes, 1 want
yer. want yer;
Cos I want yer ma honey. yes l do!
So he labored and sang, until finally
the labor ceased, and then the song.
He went about other things, and other
thoughts, not so cheerful, filled his
mind.
Bud returned sadly to the company
of the Yaqui and gave it up. Perhaps
his pardner had been right when, rid
ing out of Aqua Negra, he had en-
larged upon the dangers OF Old Mex
leo, the land of manana and broken
promises" Certainly his speech had
been prophetic in regard to dark-eyed
women; for, even as he had said,
nothing seemed to please them better
than to come between man and man.
1t was a madness, he felt sure-the
spell of the hot country, where the
women look out from behind barred
windows and men sing beneath their
balconies at midnight. Already 1t MAD
cost him his pardner-would 1t con-
ouer his will as well and make him
forget his trust?
In his impotence the idea OF some
peryerse fate-some malign influence
over which he had no contEol-was
strong with Hooker; yet when the
blow fell he was not prepared for 1t.
1t was the third day of their mining
and with Amigo, he had been driving
into the face of the cliff.
Already their round of holes was
drilled, the fuses cut, the charges set,
and as he retreated before the blast
he noticed absently that Cruz Mendez
was In camp. The shots followed, one
after another, and he counted them to
make sure there was no miss-hre-
then he looked around and discovered
that Phil was gone.
where is Don Felipe?" he inquired
of Mendez, and that lowbrowed broth
er of the burro bowed fawningly be-
fore he replied.
HE has gone to Fortuna" he said,
wiping his. face with a bath towel
which he wore about his neck.

A Jingle of excitement went over
him as he tramped up to the ladies'
parlor. for he had never met Gracia
face to face. But he disguised his
oualms by assuming a masklike grim
ness of countenance and, when the
glorious Gracia glided out of her room
to meet him, he only blinked and stood
pat.
A long experience as poker player
was all that, saved him from betrayal,
for there was something in her very
presence which made his heart leap
and bound. But he only gazed at her
somberly, without even so much as
raising his hat.
Back in Texas, in his social world,
1t was considered almost unmanly to
thus salute the ladies'. So he stood
there, his big sombrero pulled down
over his mop Of light hair, gazing at
her without blink.
Perhaps 1t was not altogether as
friendly a scrutiny of her charming
features as Gracia expected. for he
remembered what she had done to his
pardner; but If she sensed such a rare
thing as disapproyal from a young
man. she was too excited to show It,

Two Readings.

A well known Partisan antiquary
while on his holidays In Normandy
came across an old farm which had
curious carving in the form of an ar
mortal bearing over one Of the stable
doors. Beneath the carving was
wooden bar inscribed with date. EX-
aminng it closely he found the latter
to be 1851. All his antiquarian pas
sions were aroused, needless to say,
and after some bargaining the farmer
sold him the carving for quite a nice
sum The next day the farmer brought
the trouvaille to the antiquary's villa.

BRYAN ESPOUSES SUFFRAGE
Secretary, However, Considers II a
State Issue.

Secretary of State Bryan has pub
licly espoused the cause of woman
suffrage. After years of refusal to
commit himself on this political issue
the secretary of state announces that
he will support the suffrage amend
ment pending before the people of his
own state of Nebraska.
Mr.. Bryan says that he has delayed
expressing himself on the subject of
woman suffrage because he has been
busy gathering information about it
and because he has been engaged with
national issues. In some quarters Mr..
Bryan's declaration in favor of wo-
man suffrage was interpreted as an
attempt on the part of the administra-
to placate the women suffragists Of
the country. 1t is we'll known that the
suffragists feel they have a real
grievance against President Wilson
and the Democratic administration be-
cause of the presidents refusal to
exert his influence in behalf of the suf-
frage amendment.
1t is thought the open advocacy OF
suffrage by Bryan may be offered to
the sulfragists at this time as proof
that Democracy is not opposed to wo.
man suffrage, but merely considers it
state, not national issue.

Very Cautious Birds.

One day in my walk | came upon
two phoebes' nests under overhanging
rocks, both with half 6edged young In
them, and in neither case were the par
ent birds in evidence. They did not
give their secret away by setting up
the hue and cry that nesting birds usu-
ally set up on such occasions. finally
saw them, as silent as shadows, perch
ed near by, with food in their beaks,
which they finally swallowed, as my
stay was prolonged. And the nests,
both on level with my eye, were APP
parently filed only with a motionless
mass of blush mold. As | gently
touched thcm instead of four or five
heads with open mouths springing up,
the young only settled lower in the
nest and disposed themselves In n
headless, shapeless mass. The phoebe
is evidently very cautious bird,
though no birds are more familiar
about our porches and outbuildings.-
