ting on a log and continuing his
harangue.
Then, in the middle of sentence,
and while Bud was bending over the
fire, the Mexican stopped short and
leaned 20 one side. A tense silence
fell, and Hooker was walked from his
trance by the warning click of a gum
lock. Suddenly his mind came back
to his guests, and he ducked like a
fash, but even as he went down he
heard the hammer clack!
The gun had snapped!
Instantly Hooker's hand leaped to-
his pistol and he fired from the hip
pointbank at the Woud-be murderer.
With a yell to the others, one of the
MeXicans sprang on him from behind
and tried to bear him down. They
struggled for a moment while Bud
shot bIindly with his pistol and went
down fighting.
Bud was a giant compared to the
stunted MeXicans, and he threw them
about like dogs that hang on to bear.
With a man in each hand ne rose to
his feet crushing them down beneath
him; then, in despair of shaking off
his rider, he staggered a few steps
and hurled himself over backward into
the fire.

Mexican's thin shirt, he fought like a
cat to get free. Rocks, pots and ketc

TO FRUIT GROWERS

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 31.-Fruit
shippers of the northwest who tenn
porarily lost their fight for uni
form estimated weight for a box Of
apples, and moreover, were notified
that they would not be able to ship
this year on the estimated weights
in operation a year ago, may at least
be able to use last years weights
after all.
Representatives of the railroads
met with representatives Of the fruit
shipping organizations in Spokane
last April. The roads tentatively Of
fered to grant 491h pounds, but this
was not deemed acceptable. The mat
ter was then taken under Amusement
by the railroads, their subsequent
decision being not only to reject the
demand for the 40 pound weight,
but to canced the estimated weights
in effect last YEAR. The cancellation
order issued by the Transcontinental
Freight bureau, went into effect July
10.
1t was then the purpose of both
the shipping organizations and the
carriers to weigh each box this year,
freight to be paid on actual weight
and the figures to be used as data
for the determination next season
of uniform estimated weight.
However. the Great Northern rail-
way expressed willingness to con-
tinue last years estimated weights
in effect this season, and recently an
nounced them in it's published tariffs
and, it is understood the o. W. r. &
N. will do likewise. It is believed
that the other railways will follow
with similar action.
For the leading varieties, last
years estimated weights were: Ar

CHAPTER XVIII.

A month of weary waiting followed
that day of days in Fortuna, and still
there was no word from Phil. Bernardo
Bravo and his rebel raiders passed
through the mountains to the east, and
news came of heavy fighting in Chi
huahua Don Cipriano Aragon moved
his family back to his hacienda and
Gracia became only dream.
Then one day, as Hooker and the
Yaqui were industriously pounding out
gold, a messenger came out from town
with telegram in his hand.
Am in Gadsden. No chance to hold
mine Kruger says quit.-P.
mo III be 'sarned if I do" NUT
tered Bud. Then he sat down to think.
Amigo" he said to the Yaqui, ARE
you a Mexican citizen? Can you get
title to mine?"
me a Mexican?" repeated Amigo,
tapping himself on the chest. NO,
senior! SECURE que MOI"
"All right them" observed Bud bit
terly, here goes nothing-nowhere!
I'll turn Mexican myself"
He passed the messenger on the way
to town, took out his first papers as a
citizen, picked up the mineral agents
expert on the way back, and located
the Eagle Tail in his own name. Re-
fore riding back to camp he wired TO
Kruger:
Have turned Mex and relocated claim.
HOOKER.
1t was his last card, and he did not
expect to win by it. Fate had been
against him from the first, and he
could see his finish, but his nature
drove him to fight on. All that Ara.
gon had to do now was to have him
summoned for military service, and
Del Rey would do the rest.
Then he could take over the mine
A mere formality-or So it seemed
but between Aragon and his mine
stood the Texas blood Hooker had
been crowded to the wall, and he was
mad enough to fight.
The news of De Lancey's desertion
followed quickly after his fiight-it
came over the federal wires in a re-
port to Manuel del Rey-but by the
time it got to Aragon that gentleman
was too late. They rode into camp
the next day-Aragon and the captain

like a buck. Bud went out sullenly
to meet them, his black mood showing
in his lowering eyes. and he halted
them by the savagery of his cursing.
You cock-eyed old reprobate," he
snarled, advancing threateningly upon
the paIlng Aragon, this makes three
times you've come into my camp and
brought your gun with you! Now take
it off," he yelled, dropping suddenly
into Spanish. Take that gun olf-do
you understand"
So violent and unexpected was his
assault that it threw Aragon into a
panic, and even Manuel del Rey soft
cred his manner as he inquired into
the cause.
Never mind" answered Bud,
smiling crustily' as Aragon laid aside

ties we're kicked in every direction,
and when Hooker leaped to his feet
the Mexican scrambled up and rushed
madly for the creek.
But, though Bud was free, the bat
tie had turned against him, for in the
brief interval of his fight the other
two MeXicans had run for their guns.
The instant he rose they covered him.
Their chief, who by some miracle had
escaped Buds shot, gave a shout for
them to halt. Cheated of his victim at
the first he was claiming the right to
kill.
AS Hooker stood blinded by the
smoke and ashes the fellow took de-
liberate aim and once more his rifle
snapped. Then, as the other Next
cans stood agape, surprised at the
failure of the shot, the cannonlike
whang of a Mauser rent the air and
the leader crumpled down in heap.
An instant later shrill yell rose
from up the canyon and, as the two
Mexicans started and stared, Amigo
came dashing in upon them, a splitting
pistol in one hand and his terrible
wood chopping" knife brandished
high in the other.
In the dusk his eyes and teeth
cleaned white, his black hair seemed
to Eristle with fury, and the CLINT of
his long knife made light as he
yaulted over the last rock and went
plunging on their track. For, at the
first glance at this huge, pursuing fig
ure, the two Mexicans had turned and
bolted like rabbits, and now, as the
Yaqui whirled in after them, Bud could
hear them squealing and scrambling
as he hunted them down among the
rocks.
1t was grim work, too, even for mis-
stomach, but Hooker let the Indian fol-
low his nature When Amigo came
back from his hunting there was no
need to ask questions. His eyes shone
so terribly that Hooker said nothing,
but set about cleaning up camp.
After he had washed the ashes from
his eyes, and when the fury had van
ished from Amigos face, they went as
by common consent and gazed at the
body of the chief of the desperadoes.
Even in death his face seemed strange
ly familiar; but as Hooker stood gaz-
ing at him the Yaqui picked up his
gun.
"Look!" he said and pointed to a
bullet-splash where, as the Mexican
held the gun across his breast, Buds
pistol shot had flattened harmlessly
against the lock. 1t was that which
had saved the Mexican chief from in
slant death, and the jar of the shot
had doubtless broken the rife and
saved Bud, in turn, from the second
shot.
All this was in the Yaqui's eye as he
carefully tested the action; but, when
he threw down the lever, cartridge
rose up from the magazine and glided
smoothly into the breech. With a rife
full of cartridges the ignorant Mexican
had been swapping on an empty cham
ber not knowing enough to jack up
shell!
For a moment Amigo stared at the
gun and the man, and his mouth drew
down with contempt.
"Ha! Pendejo!" he grunted. and
kicked the corpse with his foot
