CHAPTER XIX.

It was June and the windstorms
which had swept in from the south
cast died away. No more, as in the
months that had passed, did the dust
pillar rise from the dump of the For
tuna mill and go swirling up the can
yon.
A great calm and heat settled over
the harassed land, and above the far
blue wall of the Sierras the first thun-
der caps Of the rainy season rose up
till they obscured the sky. Then, with
a rush of conflicting winds, a leaden
silence. and crash of Pickering light,
the storm burst in tropic fury and was
gone as quickly as it had come.
So, while the rich landowners Of the
hot country sat idle and watched it
grow. another storm gathered behind
the distant Sierras; and, as empty
rumors Iulled them to a false security,
suddenly from the north came the
news of dashing raids, of railroads
cut, troops routed, and the whole Dor
der occupied by swarming rebels.
In a day the southern country was
isolated and cut OF from escape and,
while the hordes of Chihuahua insur-
rectos laid siege to Aqua Negra, the
belated Spanish haciendados came
scuttling once more to Fortuna. There,
at least, was an American town where
the courage of the Anglo-Saxon would
protect their women in extremity. And,
if worst came to worst, it was better
to pay ransom to red-hag generals
than to fall victims to bandits and loot
ers.
As the bass roar of the great whistle
reverberated over the hills Bud Hook
er left his lonely camp almost gladly,
and with his hard-won gold-dust safe
beneath his belt, went galloping into
town.
Not for three weeks-not since he
received the wire from Phil and 10
Gated the Eagle Tail mine-had he
dared to leave his claim. Rurales, out
| laws and Mexican patriots had dropped
in from day to day and eaten up most
of his food, but none Of them had
caught him mapping, and he had no in
tention that they should.
A conspiracy had sprung up to gel
rid Of him, to harry him out Of the
country, and behind 1t was Aragon
But now, with the big whistle blowing
! Aragon would have other concerns.
He had his wife and daughter, the
beautiful Gracia, to hurry to the town
and perhaps the thought OF being
caught and held for ransom would de
ter him from stealing mines. So rea
soned Bud, and, dragging q reluctant
pack-animal behind him, he came rid
ing in for supplies.
At the store he bought -four and cot
fee and the other things which hC
needed most. AS he was passing By
! the hotel Don Juan de Dios halted hin
for moment rushing out and thrust
ing a bundle Of letters into his hand:
and hurrying back into the house, as
if fearful of being detected In such al
act Of friendship.
Long before he had lost his pardnel
Bud had decided that Don Juan was {

Sol" exclaimed the captain, glanc-
ing uneasily at the hillside q did not
think-but many thanks. senior, an
other time will do as well"
He refined his horse away as he
spoke and. with a jerk OF the head to
Aragon, rode rapidly down the can
yon. Aragon fingered to retrieve his
fallen gun-belt and then, seeming to
think better of his desire to speak, he
made a single vindictive gesture and
set spurs to his ehamping horse.
1t was mrely a fling of the hand, as
spontaneous as a sigh or a frown, but
in it Hooker read the last evaporation
of the Spaniard and his declaration of
war to the knife. He barred his strong
teeth in reply and Kissed out a blight
ing curse, and then Aragon was gone.
That evening, as the darkness came
on and the canyon became hushed and
still Bud built big fire and stood be
fore it, his rugged form silhouetted
against the flames And soon, as quiet
as fox, the Yaqui appeared from the
gloom
Did he come for me?'' he asked,
advancing warily into the freight
that capitan?"
Yes" answered Bud, land for me
too But you must have known him
before. Amigo-he seems to be afraid

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
