CHAPTER XXI.

The superintendent's house stood on a low bench above the town, looking out over all the valley, but protected by high hill behind, upon the summit of which was placed mammoth black water tank.
 In its architecture the casa grande was an exact replica of hot-country hacienda, a fat-roofed. one-storief square of adobe bricks. whitewashed to keep off the sun and presenting on three sides nothing but dense trees planted near for shade. Along the front was a long arcade, the corredor, graced by a series of massive arches which let in the light and air. Inside were low chambers and long passages; and, behind, the patio and garden of orange and fig trees.
 Built for a sumptuous dwelling, 1t became in a moment fort and, with men on the high hill by the tank. it was practically impregnable to direct assault.
 As Hooker stepped out on to the cov- cred porch with his saddle-gun in his hand he became simply one more of band of excited Americans, all armed and ready to defend the house to the last. Some were pacing back and forth in the corredor, others were hurrying up from the Mexican quarters with last belated handful of women, but the major portion were out cn the open bench, either gazing north and south at the scenes of the distant firing or engaging in curio-mad scramble for any spent bullet that struck.
 The fighting, such as there was, was mostly up the canyon, where large party of Sonoran miners had rushed in pursuit of the rebels. The firing down the canyon in the direction of Old For tuna had died away to nothing, and for the moment it seemed as if the futile charge and retreat was the beginning and the end of the battle.
 A party of rebels had penetrated clear into the town, but it was appar- ently more by accident than intention, and they had been quick to beat re- treat As for the main command of the insurrectos, they were, reported at Chular, six miles up the railroad. where they had surrounded and taken a small mining camp and captured a train at the summit.

 Nothing doing!" announced Hooker, as he dismounted at the corral. You don't know what you're talking about! But I will leave my horse here," he added; q sure don't want him to get hurt"
 "But you promised!" protested Gra- cia weakly.
 Promised nothing!" retorted Bud ungraciously. "I promised to take care of you, didn't I? Well, what's the use of talking, then? You better stay right here, where you're safe. Come on, let's go to the house!"
 "No!" cried Gracia, her. dark eyes turning misty with imminent tears. Oh, MT Eooker!' she burst out,

"What?'' demanded Bud, put sud denly upon the defensive. l q might have known it, solilo1uized Gracia with conviction. You are jealous of dear Phil!" Who? Me?" cried Hooker, smiling down at her grimly. Well let it go at that" he said, as she regarded him with an arch smile. "I'd certainly be a fool to take all those chances for nothing. Let him steal his own giri- that's what say!" "Now that, MT. Hooker" burst out Gracia in a pasl ion, "is very unkind- and rude! Am I woman of the town, !. to be stolen by one man or another? 1 Am r."
 That's what you would be-" put in Bud, with brutal directness, eff these rebels got hold of you. No, ma'am, wouldn't take you cut of this town for a hundred thousand<dollars. You don't know what you're talking about, that's all! Wait till the d3hting is over gee! Did you hear ti,at? Come, on, 1 tets get Into the mousse! | He ducked suddenly hs bullet went l spang against the corrugated iron roof above them and, seizing her by the hand, he half dragged her through a | side door and into the summer garden.
 Here sudden outcry of women's voices assailed their ears like a rush of wind and they beheld peon mothers i running to and fro with their scream ! ing children clSs.s 10 their breasts or dragging at their skirts. A few help less men were trying to keep them quiet, but as the bullets began to thud against the adobe walls the garden be- came bedlam.
 Gracia stood and surveyed the scene for moment. ignoring the hulking | Bud with disdainful eyes. Then she snatched her hand indignantly away and ran to pick up child. That was all, but Hooker knew what she thought of him.
 He passed through, the house, ho- ping to discover where she had gone, but all he heard was her commanding voice as she silenced the wailing wom- en, and, feeling somehow very much out of place, he stepped forth into the open.
 After all, for man of his build. the open was best Let the white-handed boys stay with the ladies-they under 1 stood their ways.

 "Senor," he said, advancing brusque- ly upon the defiant Hooker, T must trouble you for that pistol" "No, senori" answered the cowboy, keeping his hand upon his gun, mot to you nor no man-and I'll never give it up to a Mexican!"
 tiently, you are an Americano-no?" Not only that" rumbled Bud, draw ing himself up in his pride, ''I am a Tejano also, and if any man touches that horse I'll kill him!" His voice trembled with anger, but his hand was steady and the Mexicans did not deceive themselves.
 "Ha, un Tejano!" murmured the men who stood about, and one or two thought better of it and dropped back i to the ground.
 Bud knew the fate of several men who had proclaimed themselves Ameri- i jeans to the insurrectos-boastful | done, it was said to be the quickest way there was of drawing Mexican bullet But to be Texan was differ ent-somehow the very name suggest ed trouble to their minds and an Ala mo fight to the death. Hooker saw that he had made an impression, and i he was not slow to follow it up. | "If you need horse," he said to | the general. .'1et your man go up that arroyo and he will find one hobbled on the flat. Then give me your receipt 1 for two hundred dollars gold and l will contribute a saddle"
 It was a reasons ble concession, un- der the circumsta:. ces, and, best of all, 1 1t saved the generals face. The hid | eous frown with which he had regard ] ed the American changed suddenly to 1 a look of pompous pride. He jerked an imperious head at his ragged re- tainer and drew forth his reoeipt-book ! with a flourish.
 While he waited for the horse to ap- ! pear he turned uron his snooping men and drove them to their mounts with curses. Evidently it wassno sinecure to command in the army of the iber- ation, and the yelled mutterings of his followers showed that they were little better than tigers in leash.
 Mounted upon horses, mules, and even burros; armed with every con- ceivable weapon from a musket to standard repeating rifles, they were a tatterdemalion army, more fit for treason, stratagems and spells" than the sterner duties of war.
 Bud looked them over closely, well satisfied to have his back against a wall, and when the low-browed re- tainer came hurrying back with the horse he quickly took the worthless receipt and wat he'd them on their way. Then, as the last camp-follower disappeared, he ran for his saddle and rife and within minute he was mounted and away.
 There were rebels below him-very likely there were more to come-the only safe place for Copper Bottom was over the hills at Fortuna.

Can't you see how the firing has slack ened? The miners have driven your
 rebels back already, and they will do more-they will follow them up and kill them! Then, when the rebels are in flight and Del Rey and his rurales are away, that will be a good time for

out of AT young men who were the
despair and dishonor of their families,

On Sunday morning, October &
1S49, between 6 and z o'clock, the
British brig st. John, Capt. Oliver,
from Galway, Ire, was wrecked on

messed the horror
The news of the wreck spread
quickly through the South Shore and
into Boston and crowds of people
lined the shore that afternoon, Mon.
day and Tuesday, and in fact all
through the week, for the sea gave
up its dead slowly and anxious rela.
tives and friends of those who had
been drowned watched on the shore
for days in hope that each incoming
tide might bring ashore some of the
bodies. Only 27 bodies came ashore,
and these were placed in rude pine
boxes-two and three in some of
them-and all were buried in one
large grave 20 feet long, 9 feet broad
and feet deep, that had been dug
in corner of the little Cohasset
churchyard.
The bodies were first taken to the
church, where services were held.
Two priests presided at these serv-
ices and the services at the grave
were in charge of Rev. Father Rod
den, from Quincy. The scenes at that
funeral were piteous, as great many
Irish people came from Boston to at
tend them and among these were rela-
tives and friends of those whose
bodies had been recovered, as we'll as
of those whose bodies never were
found.
In one of the collins were the bodies
of Peggy Mullen. her child and her
sister. In another were the bodies
of Mary Joyce and her child. In an.
other, John Dolan and his wife. In
another Patrick Sweeney and his
child. The other collins contained
each only one body. Before the fu-
neral Peggy Adams, of South Boston,
who went to the scene with her hus-
band, recognized her sister in one of
the coffins and her grief moved every
one present. A mother who had come
over from Ireland a few months pre-
viously discovered her baby child in
one Of the collins and she was so
shocked that she died three days
later.
The hero of the wreck was Charles
Studley, of Cohasset, who nearly lost
his own life several times in his at
tempts to rescue those who were
clinging to bits of the wreck and
were being dashed against the rocks.
The only immigrants that were saved
foated ashore on bits of the wreck,
and most of these were completely ex-
hausted when they reached the shore,
but the citizens of Cohasset did every.
thing in their power for them.
