SYNOPSIS.

Bud Hooker and Phil De Lancey are

TO give up their mining claim and return
TO the Uuited States. In the border town
OF Gadsden Bud meets Henry Kruger, a
wealthy miner, who a him a propo-

blown up when he found he had been
cheated out of the title by one Aragon.

attempt to relocate the vein n then al

work. Aragon accuses them of jumping
his claim. Hooker discovers that matri-
Inonial entanglements prevent Mendez
from acquiring a valid title. Phil. who
has been paying attention to Gracia Ara
Sop, decides to turn Mexican and acquire
the title. Aragon fails in his attempt to
drive them Off the claim. Rebels are re-

gold is struck and work on the mine IS
stopped until the title can be perfected.
Phil is arrested by Manual del Rey, cap
tain of the rurales and sutton of Gracia's.
He is released on promise to stay away
from GraCia. Phil is forced to enlist in
the rurales. He asks u to take care
of GraCia. The rebels are defeated in a

HIS FIRST LONG TROUSERS
Youngsters Desire to Emerge From
Status Of "Smalls Boy" Almost Led
to Tragedy.

In a certain uptown neighborhood,
which shall, for obvious reasons, be
nameless, a small tragi-comedy was
enacted during the past week. This
small drama seems to have its points
of absolute originality, SO far as re-
corded history permits us to Judge.
But here is the case:
In the uptown neighborhood in ques-
ton two small boys reside. They are
not SO small, either, these boys. The
fact is, the whole issue Of the tragi-
comedy hangs on the size Of the boys.
One party to the struggle regards
them as being small. The second party
regards them as being relatively large.
Each party consists Of two persons,
so that the drama end is not yet in

der the circumstances. and, best of all,
it saved the generals face. The hid
eous frown with which he had regard
ed the American changed suddenly to
a look Of pompous pride. He jerked
an imperious head at his ragged re-
tainer and drew forth his receipt-book
with a flourish.
While he waited for the horse to ap-
pear he turned upon his shopping men
and drove them to their mounts with
curses. Evidently it was no sinecure
to command in the army of the liber-
alton, and the yelled mutterings OF
his followers showed that they were
little better than tigers in leash.
Mounted upon horses, mules, and
ven burros; armed with every con
ceivable weapon from q 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 watched them On their
way. Then, as the last camp-follower
disappeared, he ran for his saddle and
rifle and within a 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. With.
out stopping for path or trail, he head
ed straight northwest over the ridges
riding as the cowboys do when they
rake the range for cattle. Hardly had
he topped the first high crest when
he came in sight Of Amigo, loaded
down with his cartridge-belts and car
rying his heavy Mauser.
In a long, shambling trot the Yaqui
was drifting along the hillside with
the free grace of a wild creature, and
when Hooker pulled down his horse
to keep pace with him he laughed and
motioned him on. Taking the lead, he
Hoped on over hogback and barranca,
picking out the best trail by instinct
and setting such a pace that Bud was
hard pressed to keep up with him.
He had heard it said that in the
Yaqui country no white man, no mat
ter how well he was mounted. could
outdistance the Indians N foot, and
now he knew it was true. But why
this killing haste or the part Of Ami
go? He had neither friends nor kin
in town; why, then, should he run SO
fast to warn them of the enemy?
They racked on, up one hill and
down another, while the insurrectos
followed the canyon that swung to the
south, and finally, in a last scramble,
they mounted a rocky ridge and
looked down upon old Fortuna.
Already the hard-driven poems were
out in the fields at work and smoke
was rising from the mescal still. Ara
gon was busy, but his labors would be
worse than wasted If the red-faggers
took him prisoner. AS Bud breathed

back and warn him or press on and

1t is unlikely thar the present east

the increase in immigration for 1913

Railroad Submits plans.

The cost of eliminating the st.
Louis grade crossing on the Oak Hill
and Carondelet branch Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific by the subway method
is approximately $27S,467, according
to estimates filed by J. L. Harrop, en-
gineer OF, the public service commits
sion,
The plan of separation is to de-
press the street from four to six feet
in each instance and elevate the
tracks enough to give a clearance Of
IA or 16 feet. It was found that the
cost of depressing the streets by via
ducts would exceed $1,000, 900. This
was deemed ~prohibitiye.
Associate City Counsellor Daues
appeared before the commission and
urged it to make an order requiring
the separation Of these grade cross
ings under the plans prepared by En-
gineer Harrop. He said the crossings
are exceedingly dangerous.

holding out his black hand; q 60 this

"But why? 2" said Bud, still at a loss
to account for his haste. Then, seeing
the reticence in the Indians eyes, he
thrust out his hand in return.
"Adios. Amigo mio!" he replied, and
with a quick grip the Yaqui was gone.
With that same deceptive speed he
shambled through the bushes, still lug

higher ground. Bud knew he had

at Captain del Rey-but six months in
Mexico had made him careless. and he
