eco immediately. Kato." his superior nrCered-"iiad SenOr Zelaya. present my compliments and say that Baron lIuroki will he obliged if General Ie- lava will consent to honor this humble abode with his vcrEinous presence. at his exalted convenience this evening"
 Sooner than Baron Huroki antici- pated. Zelaya ShO,ildered through the doorway of his adobe quarters, huge and forceful personality.
 Well, my friend.' he said, leering fompanionahly and slapping a boot .eg with the qulrt which swung by it's leathern thong from his right wrist, There is news, l hear?"
 "Sit down." Hurokl suggested, nod ding. Tt is true; the Charming girl has come to the border to look after her possessions-even as foretold she would"
 "The dear little creature who has 6 hundred million of gold dollars to spend making fools of Japan aud Mex ico, eh?" Zelaya laughed. How sweet of her to walk within our reach ! Just when I could use q little money, toor'
 "Undeceive yourself" HurOki re- piled brusquely; these hundred mill ions remain well beyond our grasp; Be girl is no such fool as to carry gold about with her in such quantities. She $ not" he pursued in tone of thought ful reminiscence not lacking a hint If vindictiveness, ''in any way fool. tell you frankly-as 1 have said be- Gore-she will upset all our schemes if we discount her shrewdness and abil- .ty."
 And sO-what?"
 "We must find way to trim her claws"
 "You did not send for me to ask my ldvice," the outlaw laughed.
 No" Huroki admitted, "only your cooperation"
 Your scheme, then, is maturedT
 Tine Japanese nodded. "Our course s plain, my friend. Leaving all other consideration aside for the time being forgetting. that is, your patriotic un- selfishness and my loyalty to Nippon we both need money-much money"
 Granted" Zelaya said, with glisten- ng eyes.
 And Miss Charming has it-and means to keep it. How, then, to per suade her to give us enough for our modest needs?"
 . 'Do go oni"
 '"The girl is madly infatuated with I young man very dangerous to our common cause" Huroki pursued moothly-"Captain Donald Parr. He las accompanied her on this journey Q the border. It is he, indeed, who logs her elbow whenever she is in ioubt as to how and when and where she ought to strike at us next.'
 'I should much enjoy meeting this gentleman" the bandit announced.
 q should much enjoy effecting the introduction" HurOki assented. ''SO I mean to do it. But you must first promise me not to fay him alive. Liv- ng. he is of incalcGlahle value to us; lead, a deathless peril-fOr the Chan ling girl would never rest till she had lvenged his death, though she were to plunge her beloved country into War with our two nations"
 'I am all impatience for your point"
 Tt is simple enough. For months Te have seen. to it that this section of he border was undisturbed. That served our interests iI more ways than )ne. By keeping the peace, we prOvid- d safe transit for arms and ammuni- ion shipments from the North; we also inspired in the bosom of these ,oOls hereabouts confidence In a con inuance of immunity from our raids.
 So tonight the Charming haci- 9nda will sleep in tranquility, never ireaming that you, my friend, with a arge force of your picked horsemeE, will raid it at dawn and bring back Q me the living-if somewhat dam lged-bOdy of Captain Donald Parr, to )e held for ransom-for u round, cor oulent ransom which the Charming girl will gladly pay rather than imperil he life of her betrothed by any at .empt to rescue him. Do you see, ) brother?"
 'I sec" Zelaya agreed, licking his nick lips as he rose. 'I see and 1 go 70 pick my menr
 RIDERS OF THE DAWN.
 In the first dim flush of that cool, sweet dawn, Patria wakened with a smile, and turning on her pillow, ooked out through the open window It her bedside before smuggling be- heath the covers for another hour or TWO of sleep.
 And because the dew-wet world she viewed was so very beautiful, she could no more sleep, put must needs get up and move gently about her
