I can guarantee them. @They come from your own state of Tam Aulipas."
 In the meantime Kynaston, with his men, had pushed on across the range, from which he had seen, earlier in the evening, the flames that told him of the attack upon the Santa Cruz mine. The mine lay long three miles across the border; but though well he knew that under the existing orders he had no bushes across the line, yet he pushed on without hesitation. M
 Mile after mile they put behind them as a carpenter throws shaw ings behind him. Finally they paused on little declivity looking down to- ward the great sweep of the range, on the farther slope of which stood the minehouses. > You stay here, sergeant, with the rest of the detachment, on the Ameri- can side.

CHAPTER III.
Conc!


 A little later Kynaston sent cor poral with. two men and led horse to the railroad, ten miles away. with instructions that after the officer came they should wait till moonrise before starting back. After seeing the little party start he took refuge in his ham, mock. Pipe in mouth, he lay watch ing the night drop down over the pur- bling hills. The old padre felt his way painfully put Of the tent that Kynaston had as- signed for his use, and very laborious7 ly made his way to the tree, guided by the purring Of Kynaston's pipe.
 f'When dost thou expect thy visitor to arrive, my son?''
 Should be here an hour after the moonriss padre, said Kynaston. ! But. senor, moonrise means noth- ing to blind man who never sees it. /"
 Well, padre, it means that in about four or five hours the officer who has been sent to receive the stolen ar ticles will arrive. When he does come it will be up to him. as we Ameri- Cc1l6 o1ys dOOQl 6lN1A6 DdSh tO yOu IhC bell thas. you have: travelled so far to get. Won't you be seated ?-and we'll talk till he shows up.'
 With word of thanks the old man ssnk into the reclining chair which the officer pushed forward.
 In the course of that long talk, pune tuated by the purr of his pipe and the heavy breathing of the over-baked earth, Kynaston learned much, for he vas an apt pupil.
 He learned of heavy-footed wander. tpgs over hot plains and well-nigh trackless mountains; of nights spent M the waterless desert, with only the Felping of the tireless coyotes for com pany.
 Il T beg the lieutenant's pardon, sir, but there's horses comin' up the trail. D
 It was the observant trumpeter who spoke. Kynaston, obedient to the summons, laid down his pipe and walked down upon the fiat. He now plainly heard the horses come quickly pp the rocky trail. Within a moment pr two they pulled up before the camp and he went forward to greet an off. .cer who dismounted swiftly and intro duced himself.
 T am Major Updyke, MT. Kynas. ton. The general sent me down here to relieve you of part of your em. parrassment. He also requested me 70 take look over your camp and your location. He is under the i'm. precision that with an affair of this Importance happening here you should have larger force.
 He is reluctant to send an entire Troop of cavalry here because that will make it necessary to send a captain 4n command, and he has been so ia.

E You can see 1t for ten miles. If you see fire show three times, come right into Mexico with all the men. l shall take one man with me. Sx.
 'It is just possible that we may be able to help the people without getting ourselves into trouble. In any case, we must not get into a row on the wrong side of the line. Be sure to 5keep a man on the lookout. I shall make two flares If want you. Nolan, you come with me-"
 The old soldier would have liked to r1monstrate with his officer, but the habits of discipline of twenty years were too strong. He saluted, and, bid ding his men dismount and loosen their cinches, watched his young SUI perior and Nolan as they walked their horses down the hill in the growing light.
 When they reached the level ground they, took up the trot, and presently were out of sight among the scrubby cacti and the mesquit bushes that GOV cred the face of the land.
 It was a great risk to take; not that the danger of actual conflict was great, but there was the certainty that if his interference should become known to the higher authorities Kynaston would have to be offered up as sacrifice to Mexican complaints.
 Well move up to that hill just above the minehouse, Nolan, and see what we can from there. There go some more shots. It looks to me as though the. place is being attacked from the southern side. If so, we will hide under cover on the range to the north and work down toward the house. We'll hide our horses among the powders and scout down afoot." :"
 So, moving very carefully along the bowlder-strewn hillside, they tied their horses to a great mesquit bus lat stood in the bottom of an arroyo. Iak- ing their rifles from the scabbards, they picked their way warily up the slope to the summit, point from which they could plainly see the at tack
 t-,The Santa Cruz mine lay some SIX hundred yards below them A little cottage built of adobe showed where the superintendent lived, and across from it stood the general store. Be hind this again, surrounded in front with adobe walls that marked the cor raIs where the mine mules were kept, stood the long engine house. . Dark, yawning mouths gaping at E them from the hillside showed where the lines of the ore-cars were loaded in the drift, for the Santa Cruz was fortunate above most mines in that it was possible to tunnel straight into the breast of the hill without digging a shaft.
 Far below the line of the buildings Kynaston and Nolan, looking down from the vantage-point of their hill, sawsin far hollow a group3of rider less. horses, with one or two dismount- ed men guarding them. ~ . | There's their herd., Look. Nolan :. Do you see their line?" ss ...-,,s-.,sts5s
 Before Nolan could speak the long crack and rattle of rifle fire broke out from the line of giant cottonwood trees, that marked, the bottom of the now dry watercourse.
 The bullets whined over the house; some of them kicked up spurts of dust from the adobe walls. An answering shot from the house told that the de- lenders were wide awake. Kynaston saw the shot take ground on the slope below him.

May I see the stone, senor, to be assured of it's safety?,' Major Updyke tesitated. A refusal of the request, which was but reason able, would certainly create sus- picions of Kynaston's honesty. A statement of the actual condition of affairs would not be believed. He temporized. x, =,
