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 Cipriano 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.

"All right then" observed Bud bit
terly, there goes nothing-nowhere!

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

blue wall OF the Sie-ras the first thun.
der caps OF the rainy season rose up
till they obscured the sky. Then. with
rush Of conflicting winds. leaden
silence. and a crash OF Pickering light.
the storm burst in tropic fury and was
gone as quickly as 1t had come
So. while the rich landowners OF the
hot country sat idle and watched II
grow, another storm gathered behind
the distant Sierras; and. as empty
rumors lulled them to a false security.
suddenly from the north came the
news OF dashing raids, of railroads
cut, troops routed. and the whole Dor
der occupied by swarming rebels.
In day the southern country was
isolated and cut on from escape and.
while the hordes OF Chihuahua insur-
rectos laid siege to Aqua Negra. the
belated Spanish haciendados came
scuttling once more TO Fortuna There.

the courage OF the Anglo Saxon would

than to fall victims to bandits and loot
era.
AS the bass roar OF the great whistle
reverberated over the hills Bud Hook
er left his lonely camp almost gladly.
and with his hard-won gold-dust safe
beneath his belt, went galloping into
town.
Not for three weeks-not since he
received the wire from Phil and To-
Gated the Eagle Tail mine-had he
dared to leave his claim. Rurales, out
laws and Mexican patriots had dropped
in from day to day and eaten up most
of his food, but none OF them had
caught him mapping. and he had no In,
tention that they should.
A conspiracy had sprung up to get
rid of him, to harry him out Of the
country, and behind 1t was Aragon.
But now. with the big whistle blowing.
Aragon would have other concerns.
He had his wife and daughter. the
beautiful Gracia, to hurry TO the town.
and perhaps the thought OF being
caught and held for ransom would de-
ter him from stealing mines. So rea-
soned Bud, and. dragging a reluctant
pack-animal behind him. he came rid
ing in for supplies.
At the store he bought -four and cot
fee and the other things which he
needed most. As he was passing by
the hotel Don Juan dc Dios halted him
for a moment, rushing out and thrust
ing bundle Of letters into his hands

act Of friendship.

HOOKER
It was his last card. and he did not
expect to win by 1t. 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 IL 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 filght-it
came over the federal wires in a re-
port to Manuel del Rey-but by the
time IL got to Aragon that gentleman
was too late. They rode into camp

So violent and unexpected was his
assault that 1t threw Aragon into a
panic, and even Manuel del Rey soft
ened his manner as he inquired into
the cause.
Never mind" answered Bud,

The Hour Of the Red Cross


A Milwaukee physician. DR.. J. II.
Jungc, is the author Of the following
poem. entitled "The Hour Of the Red
Cross" which appears in the Euro
pean War Number Of the American
Red Cross Magazine;
Arising millions from their languor
Are pressing swiftly TO the fore,
Throughout all Europe sounds the
slogan
Awake, the foe is at your door,
Titanic are the fates that follow
The kindling Of this awful spark;
A God alone can see the future
OF nations cropping in the dark.
This is fight where home and
country
Are trembling in a dozen lands,
Where brother lifts his sword 'gainst
brother
And kindred blood will streak the
sands.
For whether German uhlans singing
Die Wacht am Rhein along their
way,
Or French dragons may be inton-
ing
The martial strains Of Marselllaise.
Today their patriot breasts inspir-
ing,
Each with his own the perils
brave.
Tomorrow friend and foe will moul-
der
Within a comon hero's gravel
While thus their native sons arc
bleeding
~ In every continental state,
May we OF neutral soil cndeavor
To heal their wounds Of strife and
hate.
The Red Cross knows no hostile linn
its.
Each counlry's sorrows are their
own.
They seek hut fields where hearts
are bleeding,
And deeds Of kindness may be
sown.
Theirs is a task Of self-denial.
To ease the pain Of young and old;
For every deed Of mercy given
They do not ask their pound Of
gold.
The wounded peasant lad receiveth
As much their loving tender care
As he whose jcweled decorations
Attest him as royal heir.
Well may our land Of peace and
plenty
Send forth It's hgions 10 the field,
Not with the battle AK uplif,ed.
But as the bearers Of the shield!
A hundred crimson fields are call
ing,
4 thousand bleeding forms in vain
Are pleading in their lying moments
For some kind hand 10 ease their
pain.
Send forth these messengers OF
mercy
To every battle-ridden shore,
And let them hoist their holy en-
blem
Till men shall battle-nevermore
And when the final page is written.
OF yictOr's gains and vanquished
loss,
You'll find among the gcatest he
rOcs
These earnest wearers OF the
Cross.

Deer have been coming back to

animals in the country of which he
made such an intimate study. There
are deer now roaming at will almost
to the banks Of Thoreau's beloved
Concord. Strict game laws and a hu-
