quently on the trolley, when a man
and his wife are sitting side by side
it is almost perpetual silence. They
have nothing to say to one another.
Perhaps the wife will emit a cheerful
peep, but the husband will respond
with a nod Of the head or a hesitating
yes or no. 1t Is most always that way.
No common interest observed. In fact,
it looks as IL they are mad at n an

man or woman looking on the couple
would be apt to say: 20. you married

But they are not mad. Let some
charming lady acquaintance come In
and sit down by the husband and he Is
all smiles and has plenty to say. Then
he is a cordial companion. He is a
changed man. And the same it would
be with the woman. Now, don't misin'

CHAPTER xxlIl-contlnued.

Now she strikes i'll" he announced,
as the rumble turned into a roar; but
the roar grew louder, there was a
crash as the trucks struck a curve,
and then a great metal ore-car swung
round the point, rode up high as it
nit the reverse and, speeding by as If
shot from a %catapult, swept through
the yard; smashed into a freight car,
and leaped, car and all, into the creek.
They've sneaked my derailerl" said
the roadmaster, starting on a run for
the shops. Who'll go with me to put
in another one? Or we'll loosen a rail
on the curve-that'n call for no more
than a clawbar and a wrench"
"TH go!" volunteered Bud and the
man who stood guard, and as startled
sleepers reused up on every side and
ran toward the scene of the wreck
they dashed down the hill together and
threw a haudcar on the track.
Then, with what tools they could
get together, and a spare derailer on
the front, they pumped madly up the
canyon, holding their breaths at every
curve for fear of what they might see.
Ut there was one runaway "a there
was another, for the rebels were be-
ginning an attack.
Already on the ridges above them
they could hear the crack of rifles, and
q jet or two of dust made it evident
that they were the mark. But with
three strong men at the handles they
made the handcar jump. The low hills
fled behind them. They rounded a
point and the open track lay before
them, with something
"Jump!" shouted the. roadmaster,
and as they tumbled down the bank
they heard a crash behind them and
their handcar was knocked into kind,
ding wood.
1t was a close call for all three
znen, and there had been but an in
stant between them and death, a
death by the most approved fighting
methods of the revolutionists, methods
which kept the fighters out of harms
way.
Now up to the track" the roadmas-
ter painted, as the destroyer swept on
down the line. 'Find some tools
we'll take out a raiI!"
With frantic eagerness he toiled up
the fill and attacked a fish-plate, and
Bud and the young guard searched the
hillside for tools to help with the work.
They fell to with sledge and clawbar,
tapping off nuts. jerking out spikes,
and heaving to loosen the rail-and
then once more that swift-moving
something doomed up suddenly on the
track.
Up the hill" commanded the road
master, and as they scrambled into a
gulch a wild locomotive, belching
smoke and steam like a fire engine,
went rushing past them, struck the
loose rail, and leaped into the creek
bed. A moment later, as it crashed
cts way down to the water, there was
an explosion that shook the hills. They

FOUND WAY TO SEE PARIS
Englishman Quickly Got on to Scheme
Which Enabled Him to "Do" the
City Thoroughly.

There is a very good friend of mine,
whom I nov call the New Innocent
Abroad, says a writer in the London
Times. Though he has lived the great
er portion Of his life in the West end
Of London, circumstances have always
conspired to prevent him crossing the
channel.
He cannot speak a word Of French,
and last week he spent three days In
Paris.
When he came back l went to see
him.
Think I have seen everything there
is to be seer in the streets OF Paris" he
said when / met him, because I dis
covered the ideal way Of seeing a
strange city.
Whenever l wanted to go anywhere
I signaled a taxicab and showed the
driver the address l wanted. Now, all
these French cab drivers are men with
wonderful intuitions. They knew at
once that I really wanted to see Paris
in all It's beauty. So they took charge
OF me, and whenever l wanted to go
from one Office to another they drove
me all round the city.
"Often after the first day I knew
that the place l wanted to call at was
not more than a few hundred yards
away from the hotel. Still the cab
drivers determined that ] should i'm
prove my knowledge Of Paris.
THE proper way to pursue this
method of sightseeing Is to drive for
half an hour in silence. Then you
stop the cab with violent signals, pro-
duce your written address again and
flourish it in the drivers face.

CHAPTER XIV.

In a land of class privilege and off,
cial graft it is often only in times of
anarchy that a poor man can get his
rights. For eight months Hooker had
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 it 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 it 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 If 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 SOC be over, and If 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 a hard ride, and alone he
would have no fear of the results, but
he would chance 1t 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
it was largely a bluff. since field
glasses had shown them to be short Of
cartridges; but they had over a thou
sand men masscd along the ridges
and, with courage. could easily take
the town.
Bud knew that courage was the one
thing lacking. 1t was the n thing
that was always lacking in these Mex
lean fights. The Mexican bandit takes
but little chance when be goes. to war

As for the Mendozas and their So
Moran miners. they were properly
chagrined at their waste Of ammuni.
ton and swore by Santa Guadalupe to
fight it out with hand grenades. Even
as their leaders wrangled the Mexican
powder men were busily manufacture
ing bombs, and all the while the SUI
perintendent was glancing to the
south. for swift couriers had been sent
to Alvarez, the doughty Spanish ha-
ciendado Of the hot country. to beg
him to come to their relief.
Twice before Alvarez had met the
rebels. The first time he spoke them
well and they ran of all his horses.
The second time he armed his Yaquis
and Yaqui Mayo rancheros against
them and drove them from his domain,
inficting a sanguinary punishment.
Since then he had been itching to
engage them in a pitched battle, and
when the word reached him he would
come. Two hundred and forty Yaquis,
all armed with repeating rifles, would
follow at his back, and even with his
boosted thousands Bernardo Bravo
could hardly withstand their valor. So,
while the rebels p~arleyed, demanding
a ransom of millions and threatening
to destroy the town, the defenders
argued and reasoned with them,
hoping to kill the time until Alvarez
should arrive.
In the open space in front of the
house the refugees gathered in an anx-
ious group, waiting for messengers
from the front, and as Hooker walked
among them he was aware of the ma
lignant glances Of Aragon. There were
other glances as we'll, for he had won
great favor with the ladies by ditching
the. powder train, but none from Ora
cha or her mother.
Bud would not have admitted that
he resented this lack of appreciation
on the part of Gracia, In fact he hard
ly knew that he did resent it, but he
watched anxiously for any sign of ap-
prevail from this girl who was to be
his partners bride should he conduct
her safely to the border.
From the beginning the Sonora Ara
gon had treated him as a stranger, ac-
cording to the code of her class, and
Hooker had never attempted to in
trude. But If Gracia still remembered
that she was an American girl at heart,
she forgot to show it to him. To all
she was now the proud Spanish lady,
thrown with the common people by
the stress of circumstances, but far
away from them in her thoughts.
The conference between the leaders
dragged on and messengers came and
went with the news--then, after hours
of debate, it broke up suddenly in a
row and the emissaries came back on
the run. Even at that they narrowly,
escaped, for the rebels opened fire
upon them from the ridges, and before
they could get back to the
dandy, Manuel del Rey, received a bull
let hole through the crown of his hat.
A grim smile fickered across Buds
face as he saw the damage it had
wrought, for he knew that Amigo was
in the hills-and a bullet shot down
hill goes high! Some trace Of what
was in his mind must have come to
Del Rey as he halted in the shelter Of
the house, for he regarded the Ameri-

can stern.y as Aragop spoke rapidly
in his ear But If they planned ven-
geance between them the times were
not right, for a rattle Of arm came
from the lower town ami the captain
was up and away to marshal his sven
to the defense.
So far in the siege DI Rey had kept
under cover. patroll9g the streets
and plaza and letting the volunteers
fight, but now the wal had shifted to
his territory and his ruraies were run
ming like mad For, matching treach-
cry against deceit, the rebel leaders
had sent men around TO slip up near
the town and at the first fusillade from
the hillside they came charging up
the creek.
Then 1t was that the ever-watchful
rurales proved their worth. As the
rebels appeared in the open they ran
to the outlying houses and, fighting
from the fiat roofs. checked the ad-
vance until the miners could come to
their aid.
But in the confusion another party
of rebels had rushed down the gulch
from the west, and while the fight was
going on in the lower town they found
Judgment in a big adobe house. And
now for the first time there was fight
ing in earnest-the house-to-house
fighting that is seer at its worst in
Movioo Whila uvonoaD cnroarod in
the casa grande and the Americans
paced to and fro on the hill, the boom
of a dynamite bomb marked the begin
ming of hand-to-hand.
II there was to be a casualty list In
this ~longlooked for battle of Fortuna,
the time was at hand when they could
begin counting the dead.
With a fearlessness born of long ia
miliarity with explosives the Sonoran
miners advanced valiantly with their
hand Misunderstanding powder cans
filled with dynamite and studded with
Illuminating caps. Digging f~iercely
through wall after wall they ap-
preached unperceived by the enemy
and the first bomb, flung from a roof.
filled the adobe with wounded and
dead.
A dense pail of yellowish smoke
rose high above the town and, as bomb
after bomb was exploded and the yells
Of the miners grew louder with each
success, the stunned invaders broke
from cover and rushed helter-skelter
up the gulch. Then there was a prodi-
gious shouting from the Sonorans and
more than one triumphant grenadier
swung his can Of giant powder by the
sling and let it smash against the hill
in a terrific defamation.
In the big house all was confusion.
Soon the cheers of the defenders her
aid ' victory and, in spite of all efforts
to restrain them, the wives of the
miners rushed into the open to gaze
upon the triumph of their menfolk.
On the hilltops the ineffective rebel
rifiemen rose UP from behind their
stone wall to stare, until suddenly
they, too, were seized with a panic and
ran to and fro like ants. Then, around
the curve below the concentration, a
tall man came dashing up on a pure
white horse, and behind him, charging
as he charged, came the swarthy- va.
quis of Alvarez, their new rifles CLEAN
ing in the sun.
