that had been brought to the house to be made into lariat. His curiosity thoroughly aroused, Kynaston asked:
 What are you doing with that. Mir Wilkes?"
 Cant git no mule-bells," said the old man sententiously; they're all in the stables. So I'm aimin' to string hang 'em across the front an back roads after dark. Anybody stumblin' against 'em II rattle 'em. an that Il give us warnin,."
 That's what I've been trying to think of! Now. if we only had some water"
 There was no water; and the whole garrison knew 1t. For hours the de- lenders. sticking close to the loop holes. knew thirst-grimy. dry-eyed thirst that froze the smile on the lips and cracked the corners of the mouth. against the rear wall of the house. Instinctively the man behind the door post took cover. A moment after the shot was fired a man came forward from the corral, displaying a dirty handkerchief on the end of a stick.
 Mir. Wilkes spoke excitedly:
 Don't you do it! Anybody that goes out here now ain't got no sense. They'll get you into the open and shoot you down. Don't pay no atten- tion to 'em!"
 You must recognize it." said Ky naston. Come on, Upton, we'll see what they want"
 But little time was given. There came a crack from the right, and a bullet whizzed uncomfortably close to Kynaston's shoulder, landing with . vicious whit in the mass of clay chink- ing that formed the chimney. Down came the halfbaked stun with rattle.
 Mir. Wilkes, thrusting his rife through a crack between two of the logs, fired two shots in rapid success sion.
 "You'll walk home, consarn you, If you go at all," he growled
 Kynaston saw two of their horses down in the dust of the corral A storm of curses came from the edge of the clearing.

CHAPTER v-Continued

So Upton. laying aside his rife, went down the hill 10 meet the pseudo officer. who. with an orderly behind him. was signaling for an interview.
 Well, what is it you pirates want?" he asked truculently. Are you tryin' to make a Twin by your own unaided eforts?"
 We have come to collect from the holders of Mexican property part of their ill-gotten gains in order. senor, that the brave and patriotic defenders of the republic shall no; be hungry"
 Well. you've undertaken a grown mans job. then,' snarled Upton.
 We demand the payment by the Santa Cruz mine of five thousand dol lars in cash and the surrender of all the arms, ammunition and powder. in cluding dynamite. that you have. as vel. as the permanent loan of all your able-bodied horses"
 "H-m, And what do I get out of :t?"
 You will have our protection and our assurances that you will not be bothered or annoyed by any further compulsory loans made to the proyi- sional republic"
 Upton fumbled for a 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"
 We will guarantee you against any further contributions" said the o;ter ingratiatingly.
 If your own force isn't strong enough to take my place it certainly isn't strong enough to protect me against anything. No, senor, won't nay you Q 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.
 Better trust to mel" he said vain- gloriously. But if you do not sur render immediately. but compel me to take the place, tell you frankly. seIor. shall show no quarter
 Well, can't help that. can I? will give you, sir, exactly what you can take-an it won't strain your back to carry it. either" snapped Upton.
 Very well. senor," said the Mexi- can. T give you half an hour to con- suit with your companions. If at the end of that time you decide to accept my terms you have only to wave white flag from your front door. l shall Lnow what it means.
 If there is no fag-then all that foIloss is your own fault Adios. sence. May the saints teach you wis d,n," The Mexican strode on to kis men while Upton picked the best way up the slope to the house.
 The long halfhour came to an end at last. Suddenly down by the cor rsls A rife cracked. A bullet wheeped through the window where Kynaston rtood. Lodged in the heavy window post. At the smack of the impact the youngster sprang back
 Raising his rife. he fired at head that showed above . stone. The hat. smacking report and the heavy recoil of the piece steadied him.
 Did you hit him?" asked . soft cua 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 s and then"
 His eyes told the rest of it. Doro- thy laughed little.

LAST OF INDIAN SLAVES
DIES IN HOQUIAM, WASH.
Oldest Man in Northwest Goes to the
Happy Hunting Grounds.

Shickulash Pete, believed to be the
Oldest man in the northwest and the
last of the Grays harbor Indian
slaves, has just died at Hoquiam,
Wash.
Another of the slaves, John Ket-
tie, died recently at the age of 100,
and with the passing of Pete they
have all gone to the happy hunting
grounds.
The old Indian came to Grays har-
Dor in 1910 with a war party OF in
dams from the Columbia river to at
tack the haTbOr Indians.
Most Of the invaders were either
killed or captured, only a few escap-
ing. The captives were made prison
ers and slaves, and among their num-
Der were the two Indians known af-
ter the white men came as Shickulash
Pete and John Kettle. Both were
freed by the Gov. Stevens treaty with
the Grays harbor Indians.
