cash payments, and grants Of land
were the bats they used, but Hooker
stood out from the first and took De
Lancey with him. A Mexican promise
did not pass current where he was
born and they went to the mines in
stead.
Then the wal broke out and, while
fugitives streamed out Of stricken
Chihuahua, they finally struck out
against the tide, fighting their way to
a certain mine far back in the Sierra
Madres, where they could dig the gold
on shares.
Behind them the battle waged;
Casas Grandes was taken and retaken:
J%uarez, Aqua Negra and Chihuahua
fell; Don Porlrio, the Old Man Of Mex
leo, went out and Madero took his
place; and still they worked for their
stake.
Then new arms and ammunition
flowed in from across the border;
Orozco and his rebel chiefs went out,
and the breath Of wal famed higher
against the hills. At last the first
broken band Of rebels came struggling
by, and, reading hate and envy
in their lawless eyes, the Americans
