in the number of calls from one Town

CHAPTER TX.

Not the least of the causes which
have brought Mexico to the brink OF
the abyss is the endless quarrel De-
tween church and state, which has al
most destroyed the sanctity of mar
rage and left, besides, a pitiful her
itage of deserted women and father
less children as its toll.
Many an honest laborer has peoned
himself to pay the priest for his mar
rage, only to be told that 1t is not
legal in the eyes of the law; and many
another, married by the judge, has
been grayely informed by the padre
that the woman is only his mistress,
and the children born out of wedlock.
So that now, to be sure that she is
welded. a woman must be married
twice, and many couple, on account
of the prohibitiye fees, are never mar
ried at all.
Cruz Mendez was no different from
the men of his class, and he believed
honestly that he was married to the
comely Maria; but Hooker could have
enlightened him on that point If he
had cared to do it.
Bud was playing a game, with the
Eagle Tail mine for stake; and, be-
ing experienced at poker, he stood pat
and studied his hand. Without doubt
Mendez had lost his usefulness as a
locator of the mine, since Maria was
not his legal wife and could not sign
the transfer papers as such. Accord
ing to the law of the land, the woman
now living with Aragon's mayordomo
was the Legitimate" wife of the con-
tract, and she alone could release title
10 the mine once Mendez denounced
the claim.
But Mendez had not yet denounced
the claim-though for a period OF
some thirty days yet he had the ex-
elusive privilege of doing so-and Bud
did not intend that he should.
Meanwhile they must walk softly
leaving Aragon to still hug the delu-
sion that he would soon, through his

Bud hooked one leg over the horn Of

from the copper worm, and gave each
a raw drink; but though De Lancey

praised the orange trees that hung
over the garden wall, Spanish hospi

ended in a series of adioses and much
as graciases.

they rode toward the mine: "the old

Just large enough for small chair,
says a correspondent Of an exchange.
But great or small. this perch sutfices
to command a most delightful view.
The sun is just setting behind the

forms the southern natural breakwa-

purplish tone develops as the light

In picturing 1t as treacherously
