CHAPTER xI,I.-contInued.

Leslie did not turn up at his fathers
place In the High street that night
until Booth was safely out OF the way.
He spent dismal evening at the boat
club.
His father and mother were In the
library when he came home at half
past ten. From a dark corner OF the
garden he had witnessed Booths early
departure. Vivian had gone down to
the gate In the low-lying hedge with
her visitor. She came In a moment
after Leslie's entrance.

She laughed again, with sudden
capriciousness, and stood tapping the
floor with her foot.

She turned dramatically to go, but
when Hooker made 10 effort to stay
her she returned once more to the at
tack.

was an American-because he was
brave-that I put my faith in Phil.

She paused now and glanced at him
shyly, and as her eloquent eyes met
his own Bud felt suddenly that she
was sincere. The gnawing and corro-
sive doubts that had eaten at his heart
fell away, and he saw her now in her
true beauty, with 10 uneasy thoughts
of treachery to poison his honest love.
Il believe you, lady," he said. And
I'm glad to know you." he added, TAX
ing off his hat and bowling awkwardly.
Anything l a do for you, don't hesi-
tate to ask for it-only I can't go

He bowed again and retreated
toward the door, but she followed him
impulsively.
Shake hands," she said, holding out
both her own, land will you help me %
"Sure!" answered Bud, and as her
soft fingers closed on his he took them
gently, for fear that he might crush
them and never know.

For this, according to law, he should
have been shot at sunrise. But, not
wishing to occasion unpleasantness
with the Americans now residing here,
| offered him the alternative of mill
tary service. He Is now enlisted as a
rural for a term of five years."
Five yearsi" exclaimed Hooker;
pected rough-house-upon which the
rural guards were prepared to jump on
his back-he simply threw down his
hat and cursed. Not anyone in par
ticular. but everything in general;
and at the end of 1t he turned ono
more upon the watchfud captain.
'Dispenseme, senor." he said, this
is the truth. is it?"
Isl. senor," returned Captain del
Rey. But before leaving with his de-
taehment your friend wrote this letter,
which he requested me to deliver to
you"
He offered with a flourish a sealed
envelope, from which Bud extracted a
short note.
Dear Bud:
When you get this I shall be far away.
I must have been mad, but 1t is too late
now. Rather h a be executed I have
enlisted as a rural. But I shall try to be
brave for her sake. Take care of her,
Bud-for mel PHIL
Bud read 1t through again and medi-
tated ponderously. Then he folded it
up and thrust it In his pocket.
"Muchas gracias, senior captain" he
said, saluting and turning upon his
heel; and while all the Mexicans mar
veled at the inscrutable ways of Amer
icanos, he mounted and rode away.

He stopped toward her as he spoke,
fixing her with masterful eyes that
had tanned many a bad horse and man.
and she shrank away instinctively.
Then she glanced at him shyly and
edged over toward the open door.

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 Cipriane-Aragon moved
his family back to his hacienda and
Gracia became only a dream.
Then, one day, as Hooker and the
Yaqui were industriously pounding out
gold, a messenger came out from town
with a telegram In his hand.
Am in Gadsden. No chance to hold

tapping himself on the chest. mo,

"AIl 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. Be
fore riding back to camp he wired to
Kruger:
Have turned Mex and relocated claim.
HOOKER
1t vas 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 fight-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
of the rurales-and at the first glimpse
of that hated uniform Amigo was of
like a buck. Bud went out sullenly
to meet them, his black mood showing
in his lowering eyes, and ne halted
them by the savagery of his cursing.
You cock-eyed old reprobate," he
snarled. advancing t~hreateningly upon
the paling Aragon, this makes three
times you've come into my camp and
brought your gun with you'll Now take
it off" he yelled, dropping suddenly
into Spanish. ~Take that gun on-do

So violent and unexpected was his
assault that 1t threw Aragon into a
panic, and even Manuel del Rey soft

the cause
