Two hundred American cavalrymen
under Col. w. G. Brown, Tenth cav
airy, defeated an equal force of
Nillistas in the second engagement of
the campaign, at Aguas Calientes,
thirty miles north of Guerrero, April
l. This report was made to Gen. Per-
shing by two Mexican ranchrhen, who
said that the Mexican forces lost thir-
ty men and forty horses, while the
Americans suffered no casualties.
Villa was not with the band, ac-
cording to the .ranchmen, who assert
ed the American troops believed at
first they had encountered the bandit
chieftain. Investigation showed he
had not been with the detachment.
For hours the American cavalrymen
followed Manuel Lopez. one of Villas
lieutenants, and his bandits through
tortuous winding canons and almost
impossible trails of the mountains.
Believing they had eluded their pur-
suers. the bandits relaxed their yigi-
lance and before they realized 1t they
were confronted by the troops of the
Tenth cavalry, Gen. Pershing's old
regiment. stationed near the town to
intercept stray bands attempting to
make their escape.

membered that this was the same mar
who had tried to rob her father of his
work. And she no longer hesitated.

manded. "And get out quick, or III

For moment Legar stared round

him.
Now, my girl, l mean no harm for

You mean harm for me father
and that's enough for me! Get out O.
here, and go while the COINS good!"
Listen to me-" persisted Legar as
he backed through the door, you're
doing your father more harm, at this
very moment, than I could ever do
him."
'I'll take me chance on that" was
her retort
But you're losing your chance.

Legar did not complete that SEN
tence. Instead, he leaped suddenly to-
wards the girl with the firearm. for
he had noticed her dress sleeve catch
In the screen-door hook This had re-
suited in the momentary DETECTION of
that ever-menacing revolver barrel
and Legar's long fingers had encom-
passed that weapon before she could
level it again. With quick turn or
two he had twisted it out of her hand.
Then he caught her by the shoulder
and swung her fiercely about.

revolver. STOPPING closer to her in the

Legar turned and nodded pregnantly
toward the cellar where he knew
O'Mara to be.

tested the now terrified girl.
Nothing beyond the fact, of course,
that he's carrying Kaisow wood away

the best way to get her out here is tc
persuade her to fill basket of food
and wine and bring it back with her
in her own car. She knows you belong
to the factory settlement here, and
she won't be suspicious. You do your
work right, and you'll have her here
tomorrow night"
The youthful eyes which life had al
ready, left hard studied the sinister
figure in the moonlight.
"And when l get her out to that
sluiceroom, what're you goin to do
with herr"
The one.armed man laughed quietly.
That's something strictly between
her and me-" was his calmly enunci-
ated reply as he stepped slowly back
and disappeared through the shrub
| berry beside the O'Mara cottage.
The girl stood staring after him
without moving. So intently did she
look after that vanishing figure that
she did not observe second figure,
even more mysterious than the first,
as it slipped out of the shadows and
stepped quietly up beside her.
She turned with a start and stared
up at the stranger confronting her.
And it did not az to her peace of
mind to discover that this stranger
wore a mask over his face.
What d. you want here?" was her
brusque demand.
I'm looking for young girl who
happens to be in trouble" was the
quietly spoken reply.
Then 1 guess you'll have to keep
on travelin'," announced Peggy as she
swung up the broken steps with as
sumed nonchalance, strobe in through
the door, and shut it after her. She
stood there for several minutes before
venturing to move. Then she silently
reopened the door and stared out, to
make sure that her visitor had taken |
his departure. Instead Of catching !
sight Of the masked figure, however,
she was little startled to see the
one-armed man push his way in |
through the bushes and once more
creep to the door where she stood.
What did that man want?" quick
ly demanded the newcomer.
81 didn't wait to ask him." was the
girls retort.
mo, guess this isn't time for
waiting" ruminated the other aloud.
"And for that reason we'll have to
speed up that bargain of ours, and put
the thing through tonight"
Tonight" echoed the girl In whis.

tfon the expediency OF her midnigh
mission. Yet as she looked at the un
happy and hollow-eyed girl at her sid,
she felt sure that her journey, odd al
1t had at first seemed to her, could moi
be altogether a mistake. The girl was
honest, of that there could be no ques
ton, for she had journeyed many lone
miles to restore trivial bit of jewelry
TO Its owner. She had also refused to
accept money. She had even seemed
unwilling, after Margery had packed q
large motor hamper with Jelly and
milk and potted meats, to have that
luxurious young lady venture SO far
a-f1eld at such an hour OF the night.
But Margery felt that 1t was a case
where the loss Of time might possibly
mean the loss OF a life, and she was
glad, as they went humming out past
the thinning lights of the city's re-
hottest suburbs, that she had not hest,
