But they were told that unfortu-
nately their intended liberators We're
ill provided with arms or the means
to obtain them: that the only thing
they could do was to attack the fed
eral troops in their strongholds and
secure a portion. at least, of the
abundant modern military equipment
with which they were provided.
When the delegation of elders
heard this. tears came into the eyes
of some Of them, so great was their
disappointment. But they did not
hesitate. Soon word was brought
that a large detachment of federals
was encamped behind an encircling
railway embankment at a distant
point. preparatory to advancing into
the hostile region. At once band of
determined warriors, with no other
weapons than their bows and arrows,
was sent against the enemy. Their
advance was kept perfect secret,
the federals apparently having no
apprehensions on that score. and en-
tertaining only a sentiment of con-
tempt for their puny, unarmed an

The camp was carefully and Sc
cretly reconnoitered, plan of attack
decided upon. and Just at daybreak

The Mayos, however, acquiesced
under overwhelming force. but bided
their time. Their opportunity came
when the Diaz regime was attacked
and the constitutionalists essayed
to destroy it and right the wrongs
which it had committed. with es-
pecial reference to the despoila tion
Of the lands of the aborigines.
At first nothing was done with re-
gard to the land question, other mat
ton of the new administration. But
when the Huerta usurpation had
driven Madero from his short-lived
power and threatened to restore
previous conditions, the Mayos took
alarm and availed themselves Of the
first opportunity to seek the res
toration Of their homes. Between
two and three thousand of their men
of fighting age and spirit presented
themselves to the constitutionalis
leaders on one occasion, when the
writer had the good fortune to be
present in the pursuit of his duties
as a newspaper correspondent. 1t
was a most picturesque, not to say
weird, scene-in the first quarter of
the twentieth century. They were
armed only with bows and arrows,
and begged to be incorporated into
the army of their promised liberia
tors. All they asked was suitable
equipment Of arms and ammunition,
promising to maintain themselves as
to food, to ask for no pay In money,
and to fight for the success Of the
constitutionalist cause until the end.
If successful. the only compensation
asked was the restoration OF their
small individual holdings of COM

each family. which had been theirs

been fighting.
In the campaign that followed this
unequaled affair the Mayos. both
those still armed with bows and ar.
rows as we'll as those having captured
rifles, achieved a good record. The
city of Culiacan, capital of the state
of Sinaloa, had been made the head
quarters of large force Of federals,
a hill commanding the place having
been we'll fortified and garrisoned.
After several days fighting the hill
was bravely charged by the constitu-
tionalist forces. among whom were
large number of bow-and arrow
Mayos. and was finally captured.
Enough arms were secured with the
fall of this city to complete the equip
ment Herewith of the entire force Of
Mayos.
In the varied changes of the fol-
lowing years, with the revolt of Villa,
Maytorena and their followers, it so
CHANGED that a large number of va
quis found themselves ranged on the
opposite side from the Mayos. War
like as they are supposed to be, the
former did not evince any great desire
for conflict with their neighbors and
hereditary tribal enemies. 1t was well
understood that while they had little
fear of the regular soldiers, they en-
tertained a most hearty respect for
men who had shown their ability to
win battles against well equipped
trained troops while they themselves
had only the most primitive weapons

Bills appetite, already disturbed by
the overdone steak, left him COM
pletely. A horrible suspicion smote
him. striking him to an uneasy ST

When he went to bed that night he
found that his bed had not been
tucked in at the foot. This, in the
light of his ruined dinner. George
Eliot's inky fingers and her general
dIf OF a rnlnO IaT away from MIN, WAS
highly significant. There was also
the fact that she remained downstairs
shrouded in deathlike stiffness.
Only the most determined pride
kept Bill from demanding to know
what it was all about. But he could
no more have probed his wife's mind
for something she didn't want him to
know than he could have opened n
letter addressed to her. 1t Just wasn't
done; but all this secrecy hurt him
