CHAPTER XIX.

IL was June and the windstorms
which had swept In from the south
east died away. No more. as In the
months that had passed, did the dust
pillar rise from the dump of the For
tuna mill and go swirling up the can
yon.
A great calm and heat settled over
the harassed land and above the far
blue wall of the Sierras the first thun-
der caps OF the rainy season rose up
till they obscured the sky. Then, with
a 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 1t
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 dashlng raids, Of railroads
cut, troops routed, and the whole Dor
der occupied by swarming rebels.
In day the southern country was
isolated and cut off from escape and.
while the hordes OF Chihuahua insur-
rectos laid siege to Aqua Negra, the
belated Spanish haciendados came

town.
Not for three weeks-not since he
received the wire from Phil and To-
Gated the Eagle Tail mlne-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.

and perhaps the thought OF being

At the store he bought -four and cot

pelo more than 30 years ago and

since. In business matters Mr..
