CHAPTER XVIII.

The high pass and the insurrectos
were behind them now and the rolling
plains of Aqua Negra were at their
feet. To the northeast the smoke ban
ners of the Gadsden shelters lay like
ribbons across the sky, and the line
was not far away.
Yet, as they came down from the
mountains, Bud and Gracia fell silent
snd slackened their slashing pace. The
time for parting was near, aud part
ings are always sad.
But ten miles across the plain lay
Gadsden and Phil-Phil 10 whom Ora

sat together under the horse-blankets

that the dangers we're virtually over,
and but short time more would place
them beyond the reach OF either ru-
rales or rebels. Bud thought of the
duty he owed his pardner, even though
that pardner had played him false.
Great as was his longing for Gracia,
he could not forget that duty. Their
companionship had been but a thing
to forget II he could, or at best he
could only remember the sweetness
of It, and must forget the dreams he
had dreamed as he watched beside
Gracia in the hills. He was taking hei
to Phil, and all else must be sacrificed
for duty.
Bud looked far out across the valley
to where a train pulled in from thu
south, and the sight OF II made him un

He jumped his horse out to one side
and landed squarely on the rim Of the
ridge. Gracia drew her horse in be-
hind him and reached for the pistol in
her holster; then both together they
drew their guns and Bud threw down
on the first man.
60 on!" he ordered, motioning him
forward with his head; "pr-r-ronto!"
He jerked out his rifle with his left
hand and laid II across his lap.
Hurry up now" he ragged, as the
startled Mexican halted. Go on and
keep a going. and the first man that

He sat like a statue on his shining

thrust Of his head. and the burning
hate Of his eyes-quelled the spirits
OF the rebels. They were a rag-tag
army. mounted on horses and donkeys
and mules and with arms of every

1t was Just such an army as was
overrunning all northern Mexico, such
an army as had been levying tribute
on the land for a century. They spread
terror throughout all that great coun-
try south of the American border.
The fiery glances of the American
made them cringe as they had always
cringed before their masters, and his
curses turned their blood to water. He

from beneath their broad hats. AS they
looked back he whirled upon them and
swore he would kill the first man that
dared to turn his head.
After all, they were a generation Of
slaves, those low-browed, unthinking
