"Yes," answered Bud, land for me,

of you"
A smile of satisfaction passed over
the swarthy face of the Indian at this,
and then the lines became grim again.
His eyes glowed with the light of some
great purpose, and for the first time
since he had been with Bud he drew
aside the veil from his past.

"the rural is afraid. He knows have
come to kill him."
He squatted by the fire and poured
out a cup of coffee, still brooding over
his thoughts-then, with swift ges-

to scar along the ribs.

said no more. For three months and
more he had worked alongside this

Amigo had torn his shirt In lifting,
and across the ripping muscles of his
back there had been shown the long
white vale of whip.
1t was the mark OF his former
slavery when, with the rest of his peo-
pie, he had been deported to the hene-
quen fields of Yucatan and fiogged by
the overseer's ashland Amigo was
ashamed of 1t. But now that he was
about TO go, Bud made bold to ask him
one more question. to set his mind at
rest.
Perhaps this captain killed your
people?"

the fire, one long. black hand held out
to keep the CLEAN frcm his eyes, he
made a noble figure. but the Yaquqi
songs which he had crooned on other
nights were forgotten. and he held
himself tense and still. Then at last
he rose and gazed at Bud.

Il go now"
Sure" answered Bud, and after he
had weighed out the equivalent in
gold on his scales he tipped in some
more for luck and gave him a sack to
hold it.

it was Amigo who smiled.

and in those words Hooker read the
secret of his thrift
While his wild brethren fought in
the hills or prepared for the battles to
come, Sit was his part to earn the
money that should keep them IN am

Porfirio Diaz had seized all the peace
full Yaquis in night and shipped them
to Yucatan-for he saw that while
they were working the wild Yaquis
would never lack.
All the time that Amigo had been
doing two mems work and saving on
the price of shirt he had held that
cheerful dream in his mind-to Kill
more Mexicans!
Yet, despite the savagery in him,
Hooker had come to like the Yaqui,
and he liked him still. With the
rurales on his trail it was better that
he should go, but Bud wanted him to
return. So, knowing the simple hon
esty of Indians, he brought out his
own spare pistol and placed it in Ami
COS hands. often he had seen him
gazing at it longingly. for it was light
err than his heavy Mauser and better
for the journey.

pistol-and you can give it to me when

"sure!" answered the Indian, hang
ing it on his hip; "adios!"
They shook hands then. and the
Yaqui disappeared in the darkness. In
the morning, when squad of rurales
closed in on the camp, they found
nothing but his great tracks in the
dust.
