a turn in the road he came suddenly
upon Aragon and the rural, split q
way between them, and leaned for
ward as Copper Bottom burned up the
trail.
1t was long since the shiny sorrel
had been given his head, and he need
ed neither whip nor spurs-but mile
or two down the arroyo Bud suddenly
refined him in and looked behind. Then
he turned abruptly up the hillside and
jumped him out on point, looked
again, and rode slowly back up the
trail.
Aragon and the rural were not in
sight-the question was, were they
following? For a short distance he
rode warily, not to be surprised in
his suspicion; then, as he found tracks
turning back, he gave head to his
horse and galloped swiftly to camp.
The horses of the men he sought
stood at the edge Of the mine-dump,
and, throwing his bridle-rein down be,
side them, Bud leaped off and ran up
the cut. Then he stopped short and
reached for his six-shooter. The two
men were up at the end, down on their
knees, and digging like dogs after a
rabbit.
So eager were they in their search
so confident in their fancied security,
that they never looked up from their
work, and the tramp of Hooker's boots
was drowned by their grubbing until
he stood above them. There he
paused, his pistol in hand, and waited
grimly for developments.
Hal" cried Aragon, grabbing at a
piece of quartz that came up, "Aqui 10
tengo!" He drew second piece from
his pocket and placed them together.
1T Is the same!" he said.
Still half-buried in the excavation,
he turned suddenly as a shadow
crossed him, to get the light, and his
jaw dropped at the sight of Bud.
"I'll trouble you for that rock" OBJ,
served Bud, holding out his hand, and
as the rural jumped, Aragon handed
over the ore. There was a moments
silence as Bud stood over them-then
he stepped back and motioned them
out with his gun.
Down the jagged cut they hurried,
awed into guilty silence by his an
ger, and when he let them mount
without word the rural looked back,
surprised. Even then Bud said moth
ing, but the swing of the Texans gun
spoke for him, and they rode quickly
out Of sight.
you dad-burned greasers!" growled
Bud, returning his pistol with a jab
to it's holster. Then he looked at the
ore. There were two pieces, one fresh
dug and the other worn, and as he
gazed at them the worn piece seemed
strangely familiar. Aragon had been
comparing them-but where had he
got the worn piece?
Once more Bud looked it over, and
then the rock fell from his hand. 1t
was the first piece they had found
the piece that belonged to Phil!

There was an awkward pause at
this, and finally De Lancey dropped
his white face against the bars and
his voice became low and beseeching.

CHAPTER XIV.

When the solid earth quakes, though
1t move but thousandth of an inch
beneath our feet, the human brain
reels and we become dizzy, sick and
afraid. So, too, at the thought that
some trusted friend has played us
false, the mind turns back upon itself
and we doubt the stability of every
thing-for moment. Then, as we
find all the trees straight up, the world
intact, and the hills in their proper
places, we cast the treacherous doubts
aside and listen to the voice of reason.
For one awful moment Hooker saw
himself betrayed by his friend, either
through weakness or through guile;
and then his mind Strengthened itself
and he remembered that Phil was in
Jail.
What more natural, then, than that
the rurales should search his pockets
and give the ore to Aragon? He
stopped and picked up the chunk Of
rock-that precious, pocket-worn spec
linen that had brought them the first
promise of success-and wiped it on
his sleeve.
Mechanically he placed 1t beside the
other piece which Aragon had gouged
from the edge, and while he gazed at
them he wondered what to do-to
leave their mine and go to his friend,
or to let his friend wait and stand
guard by their treasure-and his heart
told him to go to his friend.
So he swung up on his horse and
followed slowly, and as soon as it was
dark he rode secretly through Old
Fortuna and on till he came to the
jail 1t was square stone structure,
built across the street from the can
tina in order to be convenient for
the DRINKS, and as Bud rode up close
and stared at 1t, some one hailed him

CENTRAL PROMENADE IN BERLIN. ough condition of repair With good streets drivers make much better speed. greater loads may be carried. and the wear and tear on the vehicles is greatly reduced Accidents and breakdowns are obviated. with con sequent saving of expense to vehicle owners, and the streets are much more readily kept in clean and sanitary condition.
 Americans have in reality little or no conception of the condition in which a street should be maintained until they have seen the remarkably smooth and clean streets of European cities. Their excellence. which might easily be ri valed by American streets. is due to the thorough methods of construction and the high degree of engineering skill retained.
 One of the unmitigated evils suffered Is the constant tearing up of streets for the purposes of laying pipes of various kinds In streets properly designed the piping systems for gas and water and conduits for electric cables should be provided in ample capacity. with suf- ticient number of side outlets to take care of future connections.
 In order that the Arrangement of traffic and annoyance involved Tn building operations upon the streets may be reduced as much as possible. the plan adopted ill Hamburg is found to be a good one. An annual meeting is held. which is called by the director of underground works. who is the chief of the central bureau of the engineer ing department. These meetings are at tended by eight members and one sec retary of the public building depart ments. four members of the street rail ways companies and one representative each of the electric lighting and power company. the gas company. the water works. the traffic police departments. the fire department and the telephone and telegraph department.
