CHAPTER XVI.

At their camp by the Eagle Tail
mine. even though they held 1t still
and were heirs to half its gold. the
two pardners were glum and sorrow
full. The treacheries which Bud had
forgiven in moment Of exaltation
came back to him now as he brooded !;
and he eyed his friend askance, as II
wondering what he would do next.
He recalled all the circumstances of
their quest-the meeting with Kruger.
Phil's insistence on the adventure, the
oath of loyalty which they had sworn; !;
and then the gradual breaking down
of their brotherly devotion until now
they we're strangers at heart.
Phil sat by himself. keeping his
thoughts to himself. and he stood aloof
while he waited for the worst to hap
pen.
From the first day OF their under
taking Hooker had felt that 1t was un-
lucky, and now he knew that the end
was coming, His friend was lost to
him. lost alike to a sense of loyalty
and honor: he gloomed by himself and
thought only OF Gracia Aragon.
The oath which Phil himself had
forced upon Bud was broken and for
gotten: but Bud, by sterner standard.
felt bound to keep his part One thing
alone could make him break this
word to Henry Kruger. The Eagle
Tail mine he held in trust, and half
of 1t was Kruger's.

mind was weary OF the ceaseless grind
Of thoughts. 81 believe that mineral
agent is holding back our papers. l

to rob US. But I'll tell you what I'll
do-you give me power OF attorney
to receive those papers for you. and
I'll go in and talk Dutch to the whole
outfit"
What do you want to do that for?"
demanded De Lancey querulously
why can't you wait a while? Those
papers have to go to Moctezuma and
Hermosillo and all over the City Of
Mexico and back. and 1t takes time.
What do you want to make trouble
for?"
We'll, I'll tell you, Phil" answered
Bud honestly. I've got a hunch II we
don't grab them papers soon we won't
get 'em at all. Here these rebels are
working cloer all the time, and Ara
gon is crowding US. l want to get title
and turn it over to Kruger. before we
lose out somewhere"
Whats the matter with me going
in and talking to the agent?" suggest
ed Phil. Then, as he saw his pard-
ner's face. he paused and laughed bit.

thing in the changed atmosphere made

Alas, Poor Molars!
From the Strand Magazine.

=
R. D. MacLean. who plays the part of
Brutus in the Faversham production of
Julius Caesar told about his first ex-
perience in the role.
Il played Brutus first in 1881, with
John w. Albaugh as Antony and Mr..
Donaldson as Cassius. Donaldson and !
concluded to get up Julius Caesar" for
a benefit performance in Hagerstown.
Mr.. Donaldson had had trouble with his
teeth and had replaced them with a
brand-new set. But unfortunately they
didn't fit. In the midst of that great
speech of Cassius in the first. act, out
they popped.
He reached for them, caught them on
the fly and finished the speech with the
uppers in his right hand. assuming the
pose usually taken by Hamlets when
giving the Alas. poor Yorck,' speech,
with skull in hand.
You may imagine his appearance after
the popping out took place. for then
everything caved in, and instead Of look
ing a man of forty. he suddenly was
transformed into a man of sixty-tive
That performance was really too funny.

DECLARES DISHONESTY
ISExCEPnON TO RULE
Publication Asserts Organizations
Are Wedding Out Real Es-
tate Crooks"

There have been many discussions OF
the ethics OF the real estate business,
discussions as to what course Of action
a broker should pursue under various
conditions, and we are satisfied that the
majority of the brokers are actuated In
the transactions OF their business by
only the best motives, says a recent num-
Der of the National Real Estate Jour
nal. speaking editorially.
That there are rogues in the business
goes without saying. for to find busi-
ness as large as that of real estate in
which there we're not some men whose
sole idea In life was to get all they
could out OF it at the expense Of the 9TH
ers. would be an impossibility. There are
real estate brokers whose presence
would grace the inside walls of prisons.
just as there are men in all other lines
Of business who do not know the mean
Ing Of the common term honesty.
But there are many honest real es-
tate brokers-it Is the exception to find
one who il deliberately set In his idea
Of trying to cheat somebody. Real
estate men perhaps have more chances
offered for doing dishonest work than
men in any other business or profess
sion. and It IL to their everlasting credit
that there are not more crooks than
there are.
At the same time there are many
men who pose as real estate agents
who should not be permitted to do SO.
There are men who do not understand
the first principles of the business in
which they are engaged; men who do
not seem to grasp the notion that for
the very reason that there are more
opportunities offered for cheating, the
real estate dealer should be more
scrupulous than the man in any other
line of human endeavor.
The haphazard methods of doing busi-
ness which have brought reproach so
many times on the head of the broker;
which have led many outside OF the
business to look upon the average real
estate agent as a shark never should
be permitted. The idea of trying to sell
property just for the sake of securing
a commission never should be permitted
to be uppermost in the mind of the
dealer The various local and state as
sociations have done wonders in wedding
out the dishonest or the incapable dealer.
but there still remains much to be done
before the general public can accept the
real estate broker for what he is-the
most essential of all men in the affairs
of life.
The buying and selling of real estate
on a commission is not a trade. 1t Is
not a business in which every Tom
Dick and Harry should be permitted
to engage. the moment that the notion
strikes him. 1t is not even business
which should be permitted to every
man who pays certain amount as a
license. The handling of real estate for
others Is, or should be, profession,
and as professor no one should be
permitted to enter into II unless ne
shows himself competent

GOTHAM JUDGE RULES
BIG SIGN is BUILDING
Outcome of Suit in New York Su-
preme Court Involving Blot
ting Out Of View.

An advertising sign is a building, fol
all purposes of blotting out the view, ac-
cording to the decision rendered in Ne"
York recently by Justice Erlanger In the
supreme court in the suit Of the Mecca
Realty Company against the Kellogg
Company.
The suit grew out of an advertising
sign on building at Broadway and 47tt
street. According to the terms OF the
agreement. the lease was to be terminal
ed If building was erected south Of the
Mecca Companys property high enough
to hide the advertising sign.
A sign was put up which obscured the
sign, and the Kellogg Company contendee
that this constituted the building men
toned in the lease. Justice Erlanger de-
cided in favor of this contention.
The decision, which is sweeping in its
effect. will affect many signs on Broad
way housetops.

Holding the Mirror Up to Motorists.

From Lippincotts.
Every automobile owner should read.

things Mr. John Kendrick Bangs-him-
self an enthusiastic motorist-has to say
In his delicately satirical paper Motor
Amenities. Says Mr.. Bangs:
We go speeding unasked with our
heavy high-powered motors over public
highways, for whose construction we
have not contributed a penny, and If we
do not find them wholly to our liking
We comment insultingly upon them and
their makers. calling our hosts-in this
case the taxpayers who have paid for
them--hay ayseeds. reubens. Jays, moss
backs antediluyian fossils and what
not i'll utter forgetfulness of the fact
that it is for the most part ourselves
who have brought the roads into their
present condition by our unconscionable
and destructive speeding upon them. we
are like the man so benighted in Her
fords limerick who
80 went to the party
And ate Just hearty
As though he'd been really invited.
"In other words, we go with our cars
where we have not been asked TO go
we tear up the country roads with our
heavily built cars; we require our un-
whiting hosts practically to rebuild at
their own expense these same highways
every season, and then We call them
mossbacks and fossils because We do mol
US on every hand. We know my lord
answer to this-that We leave enough
money behind us to pay for it all-but as
a matter of fact we don't! And even II

There are some Of US. for instance.
who seem to think that because We are
off in a picnicking spirit. therefore every
BODY else is, and that we have therefore
a perfect right to be as noisy as we please
in quiet country wales at any hour OF the
day or night; that we have a right to
sound those raucous horns Of ours in
carniyal-wise as we rush madly past
houses Of worship Sunday morning; that
we have a right to treat all women on
the highway as we pays them very much
as if they We're fiirtatious nursemaIds
and we were all jolly butcher boys off on
a lark, and that also, just because we
aer off in the country, 1t Is our privilege
to strew newspapers, torn letters. lunch
boxes, eggshelis and empty bottles in our

RULES DUPLEX HOUSE
IS SINGLE RESIDENCE
Decision of Pittsburgh Court of In
terest to Realty
Men.

A duplex house is but single dwell
ing in the eyes of the law, and building
restrictions preventing the erection OF
more than one house on a iO-foot lot will
not prevent the building of duplex houses
on the lots. according to the decision ren.
dered in Pittsburgh recently by Judge
Ambrose B. Reid in the equity case OF
James H. Hammett. Cooke. Bausman and
others against John L. Born.
The complainants held that the cree.
ton Of duplex houses on lots owned by
the defendant would be a violation OF
building restrictions on the plan of lots
and asked the court to enjoin him from
proceeding with such buildings. Judge
Reid holds that under a supreme court
decision four-story fiat is decided to be
a dwelling house" and that since a du
plex house presents the appearance of g
single residence, it will present the ap
pearance, and in fact will be, but one
building on each lot.

A remarkable happening of the Mexi-

Santa Ana. who had been in exile in

chief of the enemy.
Santa Ana had been summoned by
the Mexicans because of the resigna-

cause it was believed that his presence
