CHAPTER V-Continued.

So Upton, laying aside his rifle,
went down the hill to meet the pseudo
officer. N4o, with an orderly behind
him, was signaling for an interview.
We'll, what is it you pirates
want?" he asked truculently. Are
you tryin' to make Twin by your
own unaided efforts?"
I'VE have come to collect from the
holders of Mexican property a part
of their ill-gotten gains in order, senior,
that the brave and patriotic defenders
OF the republic shall not be hungry"
Well, you've undertaken grown
mans job. then,' snarled Upton.
We demand the payment by the
Eanta Cruz mine of five thousand dol
lars in cash and the surrender of all
the arms, ammunition and powder, in
Guiding dynamite, that you have, as
well as. the permanent loan of all your
able-bodied horses"
HIM! And what do | get out of
H?"
you will have our protection and
our assurances that you will not be
bothered or annoyed by any further
compulsory loans made to the provi-
aional republic"
Upton fumbled for moment in his
pocket, from which he finally produced
two papers. These he handed to his
interviewer.
There are two other projections
given me last month";" he said tersely.
you Will see that one is for two thou
sand and the other for fifteen hun
dred !"
I'VE will guarantee you against
any further contributions said the
otter overwhelmingly.
IF your own force isn't strong
enough to take my place it certainly
isn't strong enough to protect me
against anything. No, senior, won't
pay you a single cent-not a sou
markee. I've stood all I'm going to
stand from you fellows. Now I'll ap-
peal to the American consul"
The other spat derisively.

gloriously. But if you do not sur
render Immediately, but compel me to
take the place, tell you frankly

will give you, sir. exactly what you
can take-an' it won't strain your back
to carry it, either" snapped Upton.
Very we'll, senor," said the Mexi-
can. Il give you half an hour to con-
suit with your companions. If at the
end of that time you decide to accept
white flag from your front door. /
shall know what it means.
If there is no fiag-then all that
follows is your own fault. Adios,
senior. May the saints teach you wis
don!" The Mexican strobe off to
his men while Upton picked the best
way up the slope to the house.
The long half-hour came to an end
at last. Suddenly down by the cor
rails rife cracked. A bullet wheeped
through the window where Kynaston
stood Lodged in the heavy window
post. At the smack of the impact the
youngster sprang back.
Raising his rife, he fired at a head
that showed above stone. The fat,
smacking report and the heavy recoil
of the piece steadied him.
Did you hit him?" asked a soft
Qua steady voice behing him. He
turned to see Dorothy standing near
him.
Don't think SC. Please get back
Miss Upton. You might be hit, you
know, and then"
His eyes told the rest of it. Doro

The Douglas situation in which, one Judge Richardson, wires Ashurst to start something against the Mexicans, (which he did) in order to provide something to fight about; reminds one of the story of the two Irishmen-one slightly more intoxicated than the other, finally halted and refused to be taken home. Argument availed naught. At last the more intoxicated one offered the plaint: Pat phat did l ever do to you that you won't let me fight you?"

Looking git horse in the mouth is a very trlte saying, and the "hoss editor of The Sun feels that the in- terior of his facial gap must accord ingly be pretty we'll known. The Sun runs on an average or one full page per week of this kind of matter, and as a rule there is where we get com plaints if an error occurs, position isn't good, it should have been played up stronger, and as a further rule copy is ru he'd in at the last moment. When the "hoss" editor goes to a show he usually pays his way in and IS permitted to write-up the affair, and then very often the write-up is not as good as expected. In other words we appreciate a little appre- citation instead of complaint.

One of the most serious fights the U. s. government seems to have on hand is to circumvent the "border liar" from conducting the campaign against Villa and the United States. Mayor Ellis of Douglas has called a conference with newspaper men and is endeavoring to perfect plan of eliminating the "rumor liar" from the Mexican trouble. If all "rumors, con- tradictions and reports" were men and could be enlisted to fight, we would now have million men in the field

Religion and Mule Driving

There was brigadier-general in the Civil war who was 80 earnest in his religious efforts that in short time he had converted every man in the brigade except one hardened team ster. Going to his commander one day this man said, solemnly: Gene ral, l am lonesome. Every man in the camp has been converted except me. I suppose it's the right thing, but don't see how can manage it." "Why, my good fellow" said the general. q see no difficulty in the way of it if you will just surrender your own will and ask for guidance" That's jest it, general" said the teamster. "If am converted, who in blazes is goin' to drive them mules 2"

Villa is sur rounded with a whole skin and hls gang of outlaws and will be for some time to come, but it is to be hoped that it will not be too long before he is surrounded with rope and one end of it tied high above the ground.

HISTORY WILL REPEAT IN 1916

HISTORY WILL REPEAT IN 1916
 In 1886, Democratic Congress passed and Democratic President signed the Mills tariff bill
 In 1888 the voters of the country retired the Democratic administra- tion, and the Republican administra- ton that succeeded it enacted the Me Kinley tariff bill.
 In 1893 Democratic Congre S passed and a Democratic President signed the Wilson German tariff bill. At the next Presidential election the Democratic party was assisted out of control by tremendous majority.
 The sad lesson taught the country by the enactment of the Wilson-G Cor man tariff law (remember 1893-1896) led the people to keep the Democratic party out of power for sixteen years.
 In 1913 a Democratic Congress passed and a Democratic President signed the Underwood Simmons free trade tariff bill.
 The voters will have an opportunity to pass judgment on that law next November.-N. Y. Mail.

The Gallup Independent issued a seventy six paged Industrial Edi- ton" last week, containing an ex- haustive write up of that whole sec ton of the country. It is we'll illu- strated with cuts of scenery, Indians, prominent men and things of interest to it's readers. It was most liberally patroized by the business men of the town and county and is a most praise worthy production by that enterpris- ing newspaper.

Trying to fool all the people does not work we'll. Advocates of the re- vised shipping bill are trying to dispel opposition by explaining that it is not government ownership and opera tion measure. Thus they weaken themselves with those who really be- lieve in government ownership and lose the confidence of opponents who have read the bill and know that it does, in fact, provide for the creation of board with power to buy, operate or lease ships. This is one instance in which the administration won't be able tc "catch 'em both coming and going"

GENTLEMAN COULD, BUT WON'T

Any gentleman can swear, get drunk, tell stories that would lower him in the estimation of his mother and wife, and go where he would be ashamed to be seen by the boy he loves-but he won't.
 Any gentleman can drive a sharp bargain; he can take advantage of the other mans necessities; he can drive him into a corner, he can rub his hands gleefully and say to himself as he sees him writhe, Business is busi- ness," but he won't.
 Any gentleman can kick a dog, abuse horse, misuse child, laugh at another mans mistakes and devil ishly gloat over another mans fail ures-but he won't.
 Any gentleman can grow cynical, sour and pessimistic; he can feel that everybody is against him and he against the world; he can scoff at all good things, ridicule religion and damn your judgment-but he won't.
 Any gentleman can say harsh, sar- castle and cruel things; he can crush flowers and fertilize weeds; he can stab you with words-but he won't.
 Any gentleman can make this old world, this topsy turvey, this greatly misunderstood world, a far better place because he chanced to pass along this way-and he will!

Late last fall, President Wilson began to prepare" his plans for na- tional defense. He endorsed plans worked out by Secretary of War Gar rison and later refused to stand by those plans, though espousing no others. Five committees of Congress have spent three months hearing testi- mony from students of the subject, in cluding officers of the army and navy. Still the problem is far from solved. Yet, when preparedness legislation shall finally be passed, President Will sons friends will claim all the credit for him.

Villa has at least accomplished one good thing for the American people. He has shown how thoroughly unpre- pared the United States is for even handling a good sized riot. It isn't the fault of the army, but it shows up their condition as to lack of equip ment and men much better than any long winded congressional investiga- tion has ever done and it may pro- duce results. Few patriotic Ameri- cans object to paying taxes if they get results Exposing the nation to ridicule hurts great deal worse than a cash payment for goods received.

BUILDING UP A RENEGADE
 BAND

The indictment of Supt. Runke does not seem to portent any degree of assurance that the government of the United States intends in any way to protect white inhabitants, nor does it indicate that lawlessness among In- dians is considered a crime. It is difficult to ascertain whether the ac- tion of officials in this case is politics, departmental or otherwise, but there are but few white men that will look upon the game with any thing but disgust and condemnation. The peo- pie who lived at Tuba realized that their lives hung in the balance up to the time that it was certain that the the renegade bunch of Indians could not secure large enough force to overwhelm the small settlement
 That portion of the game was played before any outside fede- 'ral officials arrived. That a white man may be pot-shotted when the op- portunity offers is the general opinion yet. The Indians have been convinced that the present government is for them regardless of what they do and many of them regret now that they did not get in and make killing of whites and loot the place instead of standing out fearful of what Uncle

And now just to be sociable, as it were, the printers ink manufacturers have seen fit to aviate the price of inks about 40 per cent. Paper prices have been like a kite on a string; type metal has wondered up hill in price until lead sinkcr on a fish line is too valuable to use. Even gasoline and old rags belong to the aristocracy.
