CUTTING
RED TAPE
By F. A. Mitchell

joaquin Nunez and Pepita Alvarez
lived in u little town not more than
a mile Com the Texas border. Along
that border were strung United States
troops to protect the Americans from
incursioVs OF the Mexicans.
The bandit generals were as merci-
less tow rd their own men as to the
citizens.s When deserter was caught
his captcrs did not take the trouble to
convenesa court martial to try him
|. They stopd him up and shot him.
1t wasamong such rank growth that
the delicate flower OF love sprang up
between young Nunez and Pepita Al
varez. Sunez was not mean spirited,
cOwardly citizen. Quite likely had he
not becI honest he would have been
bandit. for he feared no man and like
most Mexicans, when he was injured
did not trouble the courts us plaintiff
against dis injurcr, but settled the
matter out Of court, taking pains to
get the Drop on the defendant. Never
theless Nunez was not bully and was
never known to fight without good
cause. y
One day bandit troop invaded the
territory where the lovers lived. The
robbers took everything they could get
their hands on without payment, and
no effort was made to stop them ex-
ccpt byf concealing the stores. But
there wss one thing taken which could
not be bought with money and to the
taking q which resistance was made.
A bandit saw little Pcpita with her
pretty rcd cheeks and her dark eyes
fringed with long iashcs, fell in love
with hey and determined to possess
her. 4
Nuncz had gone away for some pur.
