of Frances are to be transformed to

dresses has been decided upon as the

the guards. Yeager, alias Caben-
"a, returned to the stable where
he and score of patriots of the
Northern Legion had sleeping
quarters.
The Arizonian was a light
sleeper. But. like some men in
perfect trim, he had the faculty
of going to sleep whenever he de-
sired. So he slept now until day
light.
He was on duty that day herd
ing the remuda, so it was not until
late afternoon that he returned to
camp. From a distance he saw a
dust-cloud moving down the
street. At the apex of it rode a lit
tie bunch of travellers, evidently
Just in from the desert.
Yeager cooked his simple sup
per and ate it. He sat down with
his back. to an adobe wall and
rolled a cigaret. The poems, loaf
ing in the cool of the evening, nat
urally fell into gossip. Steve, in
tent on his own thoughts, did not
hear what was said until word
snatched him out of his indiffer-
ence. The word was the name OF
Harrison.

Eyes"
"a white woman this time, Pa
bio says"
Presently Yeager arose and
drifted inconspicuously toward
the stable. But as soon as he was
out of sight Steve doubled across
the road into the alley that ran
back of Gonzales house.
The news about Harrison's re-
turn was disquieting. Ever since
Yeager's second arrival at Noche
Buena he had been gone. What
did his appearance now mean?
Who was the American woman he
had brought back with him?
Steve passed into the yard back
of the big house. A light was
shining from one of the back up
ger rooms.
By means of post the Arizon-
ian climbed to the top of the lit

where he had been told two Amer
leans were held captive. Two
guards sat outside.
Cabenza, moved apparently by
a desire for companionship, indif-
ferently drifted toward them. He
sat down.
Presently he produced a bottle
furtively. All three drank. They
became exhiliarated. Cabenza
found it necessary to work off his
excitement upon the prisoners.
He stood on tip-toe, holding the
window bars in his hands and
jeered at the men within.
"Ho, no, gringos! Some fine
morning the general will give Or
ders and-we shall bury you in
the sand by the river. Not SO? l
throw dirt upon you"
Cabenza stopped, in his hand
scooped up some dust from the
ground and flung it between the
bars.
One of the guards pulled him
back savagely. Ill
"Icabron! Know you not the
orders of the general? None are
to talk with the gringos. Away,
fool! Because of the drink Pablo

Cabenza scurried away into the
darkness.
Through the barred window
Farrar watched the guard drag
Cabenza back. He was very de-
spOndent.

CHAPTER vi.
The Heavy PAYS a Debt.

Yeager was reused from sleep
next morning by a knock at the
door. His visitor was Fleming
Lennox, leading man of the Primo
Company.
Say. Steve, I'm worrying about
Threewit and Farrar. I lust tele-
phoned to the Lazy B Ranch and
the boys didn't run across them.
That means they must have
reached Gonzales camp"
Yeager whistled softly to him
self. This was a contingency he
had not foreseen.Moreove Harri-
son would be on the ground, eager
for revenge.
Henderson, Miss Winters and
Daisy Ellington we're called into
counsel after breakfast. The sug-
gestion of Lennox seemed best un-
der the circumstances.
Old Juan Yuste was brought in
from the stables and given a tele-
gram. He was told nothing except
that 1t was urgent that Threewit
get the message az soon as pos
sible.
Juan returned late in the even.
ing of the second day. He brought
with him a letter addressed 10
Lennox. 1t read:
Greetings senior. Your friends
are the guests of General Con-
zales. They came to Noche Bue-
ma to find one Senior Yeager. They
are resolved to stay here until he
Is found by them, even though
they remain till the day Of their
death. Siempre.
GABRIEL GONZALES"
After reading II Yeager handed
the note back to Lennox.
THE old fox serves notice he's
going to kill our friends IL I don't
give myself up to him."
But dare he?"
\ Yeager shrugged.
Forget what old Gabriel daren't
do. They went down to Noche
Buena on my account. I'm goine
down on theirs"
II Lennox stared incredulously al
him, while he unfolded his plan
for again joining Gonzales army
this time as native.

Threewit sat gloomily on the
stool. For forty-five years he had
gone his way, policeman always
within call.
And nowV-a cruel fate had
thrown him in the way of a bar
barian with no sense of either JUS
tice or kindness.
Look! What's that, Three
WITT"
Farrar was pointing to some
thing on the table that cleaned
white in the moonlight. He step
ped forward and picked 1t up. The
article was a pebble around which
was wrapped a paper tied with a
string.
THE Mexican must have thrown
1t in with the dirt. 1t wasn't there
BEFORE" replied the director
quickly.
Farrar united the string and
smoothed out the paper, holding
it toward the moonlight.
Keep a stiff upper lip. Don't
know when my chance will come,
but I'm looking for it. Chew this
up. S. W
Farrar gave subdued whoop
of Joy. .......
Its old Steve! He hasn't for
gotten us-good old boy!"
They talked in whispers eager
and excited with the possibility of
rescue that had come.
The panic of Cabenza vanished
as soon as he was out of sight OF

he sank to the ground, his head
falling in the spring.
By exerting all his strength,
Steve pulled the battered head al
most out of the spring. Very
slowly and painfully he got to his
feet.
He laved his face with water as
best he could, and drunkenly
climbed the hill toward Ruth.
She cried out at sight Of him
with heart of joy, but as he
lurched nearer she slid from the
horse and ran toward him.
The sight of his face wrung her
heart. What did he do to your

his waist to support him.

he told her as he leaned against
the neck of his pony. We've got to
get out of here. Gonzales camp

But you can't go like that.
You're hurt"
That's all right. Can you get
on alone?"
Can your" she asked, after she
had swung to the saddle.
He had to try it three times be-
fore he succeeded in getting into
the seat. So weak was he that as
the horse moved he had to cling
with both hands to the pommel OF
the saddle to steady himself. Ruth
rode close beside him, all solicit
tude and anxiety.
She asked timidly the question
that filled her mind.

The tightening Of the sky for the

the saddle. Presently they could
make out Sieber's Pass.

going to kill you with my bare
hands"
Crouched like a tiger, he moved
slowly forward, the flow OF his
muscles rhythmic and graceful.
The prize-fighter laughed tri-
umphantly.
Yeager dashed out with his left.
The grinning head went back as II
1t had been on hinges. Shoulders,
buttocks, and heels hit the ground
together.
The range-rider was on him as
a terrier lights on a rat. Jared

They rolled over and over, fight

Presently they were back on

the beaten faces of both.

times they we're on their feet slug

He was the stronger man, but
he lacked the tireless endurance

would stay down.

I'll beat the life out O. YOU"
threatened the prize-fighter.
Not releasing the other man
with his eyes, Yeager lent one
hand to help Ruth mount. He
gave clear, curt instructions In a
level voice.
Take all three horses and ride
to the edge of the Mesa. Wait
there. One of US will come up there
after a while. 1t It's him, take all

CHAPTER VII.
Pedro CabenZa.

PEDRO CaDenZa.
The Patriotic Legion of the
Northern States was drinking
mescal and gambling for the pa
per money Gonzales had issued.
A burro appeared at one end of
the hot, dusty street. Beside the
burro limped man.
The legion took languid in
terest. This was some farmer from
a hill-valley bringing supplies to
sell to the patriotic army.
AS he drew nearer it was to be
seen that a crate hung from one
side of the burro. In 1t were
chickens. Balancing this on the
other side were two gunnysacks.
When the burro was opposite
the corral one of the sacks gave
way with rip. From out of the
hole poured a stream OF apples
upon the dusty road. That part
of the legion which was nearest
bounced upon the fruit with
shouts of laughter.
The vendor of food walled and
flung imprecations at his laugh
ing tormentors. He threatened
to tell Gonzales what they had
done.
A harsh voice interrupted him.
What is 1t you will tell Con-
zales?"
The army began to melt unob-
trusively away. The general him
self, accompanied by Major
Ochampa, sat in the saddle and
scowled at the farmer. The latter
told his story. almost in tears,
This was all he had. these
chickens and apples. He had
brought them down to sell and
was going to enlist. His excellency
would understand that he, Pedro
Cabenza, was patriot, but be-
hold! He had been robbed.
He was at any rate a very
ragged patriot. There was hole
in his cotton trousers through
which four inches of coffse-col-
ored leg showed. His shoes were
in the last stages. The hat he
DOTTED was an extremely ventila-
ted one.
Gonzales passed judgment in
stantly. II would never do for
word to get out that those bring
ing supplies to feed his army were
not paid fairly.
Buy the chickens and the cab
bages, Ochampa. Pay the man for
his apples. Enlist him and find
him a mount
Cabenza became at once an un-'
.obstrusive unit in the army. No
body paid the least attention to
him.
On the evening of the day after
his enlistment, Pedro Cabenza
strolled across toward the prison
