Captive for 10 Years

IN 1900, Ellis p. Bean left his home
= In Tennessee and drifted down
the Mississippi to Natchez where he
took q job with . pack train. Be-
cause they carried contraband, the
party was attacked by Spanish SOL
diers. Bean, with q few other sur.
vivors. was taken to prison in Chi
huahua.
Then followed one Of the cruelest
periods Of imprisonment that any
man has ever endured and re-
manned sane. For three years he
lay in prison at Chihuahua and then
escaped only to be recaptured,
beaten almost TO death and chained
to the prison wall. After trying to
escape again, he was thrown into .
dungeon at Acapulco. Eventually
allowed to work In chains during
the daytime, he killed his two
guards with q crowbar and got
away.
Again caught. he put in another
year in dark, dirty dungeons and
was logged regularly. Again a.
lowed to work, he killed seven men
and this time got 800 miles away
before he was seized. In retalia-
ton, he was made the victim Of
almost every kind Of cruelty.
So well was he able to stand 10
years Of this treatment, unbroken in
spirit and with defiance cleaning in
his sti1 bright eyes, that his captors
developed q superstitious fear Of
him. When the revolution broke out,
they offered him q place in the
loyalist army which he accepted
readily but with his fingers crossed.
Once at liberty, he soon talked
his companions into going over to
the other side and was given cap
taincy. Finally he led a victorious
force into Acapulco and those who

CHAPTER XIX

A rap on the cabin door aroused
Breck from the table where he was
writing out his weeks report. The
camp had been lifeless when he
woke at daybreak, and he had taken
his time to complete the diary.
Glancing at his watch, he saw it was
now ten o'clock.
"Come ini" he called.
The door opened. Art Tillson con-
fronted him.
Breck stood up, and looking at
the cowboys face, was puzzled. He
expected trouble. Instead, Art
forced grave expression to cover
a queer grin. He had shaved very
close. A few spots Of powder chung
to stubble that had not yielded to
cold water and a dull blade.
"This Is q ranger station, amt

Breck nodded, making certain the
boy was not drunk.

emerged from Q snow marsh. He
saw Irene's eyes smiling at him IN
feminine triumph. Hating, he drew
packs from the mules at once, then
spread canvas covers on the pine
needles.

groaned. my Godl II you say

his horse and slumped onto one Of
the canvases.
Supper Of steaks he had brought
from Divine's was q wordless af-
fair. and Immediately afterwards
all save Irene vanished into their
tents. She insisted she was not tired.
Breck knew better and SO left only
the Goals Of their fire. She would
have to follow the others when that
scant heat died and the cold night
wind sprang up.
They two sat cross-legged with
fading light between them, the forest
whispering overhead, the crunch Of
animals grazing just beyond. Once
another sound came into these.
Breck stood up, and moving from
the glow, waited in the shadows.
Tillson's camp was dark. Art might
have turned in; and still he might
not. That sound had been too much
Like the snap Of twigs higher up the
meadow bank. Yet it was not re-
peated and in time Breck went back
to Irene. .

called sweetly from close behind
him.
''Oh, Gordon. Ny left stirrup Is
terribly long. Can you DIX it please?"
She urged her horse abreast of

The two girls could not have been

in her work clothes Of blue Jeans,
cowboy boots, coarse gray shirt,
while Irene still retained her fresh
from-the-store look.
Louise nodded. "How do you do?"
Irene inclined her head slightly,
having an advantage from her
mounted position.
Breck fastened to explain; "Sen-
ator Sutherland Is taking his vaca-
ton up here. I hope to show him
something Of the Forest Service"
Louise smiled knowingly.
"Oh dear" said Irene. Gordon,

She used his name familiarly,

her voice. He wanted to laugh and
tell her he understood. But man
couldn't. Later perhaps.

Breck's train was late to start the
next morning, for stiff bodies were
hard to get on the move. He was
up at dawn and saw Art Tillson pull
out at daybreak, but it was eight
o'clock before his tourists could take
the trail.
Breck fell in at the rear Of the
string as usual, but Irene did not
resume her place with him. In

amused and troubled; for it was al

felt seclusive.
They came into Temples cow

So it was settled. The Senator,

begged him to think Of mother.

sisted.
Irene fumed. "You never under

The Senator resigned and climbed

agreeably. ''you can figure to come

Breck CROPPED for some excuse to
ride again to Louise; yet knew that
would be foolish. There was moth
ing. Besides. Irene was still close
to him. She remained there as the
party started on, and riding almost
knee to knee gave him q sense Of
being lowered.
A. soon a. they had passed
through Temples gate and were in
the forest, she burst with laughter.
.Oh, my deari That costumei Those
bootsl A real cowgirl"
Breck faced her from his saddle.
Yes; q real girl"
She sobered. II said cowgirl"
Suddenly her dark eyes surveyed
him in disbelief. Disdain spread
over her face. Her lip curled. "You
don't mean i'll Gordon. you're not

suppose it's called-courting herr
Oh my. oh my. That's dreadful.

Before Breck could answer she
dashed her horse cruelty and loped
ahead.
Rock House at sunset brought
cries Of wonder from the tourists,
weary as they were. The train
dropped out Of the eastern notch and
into q bowl Of opal light, through
which the grass bottom, the fences,
the cabin far across appeared more
as . bit Of fairyland than q ranger

"You didn't bring onel"
"Of course Won't we dancer"
"Yes." Breck promised, thinking
Of Temples rodeo. "we'n dance But
the only evening gown you'll need is

When the others had gone into the
house, he and Divine sorted what lit
tie Of the equipment there was that
could be used.

ing among the sets Of furniture
painted red and blue. with striped
covers to match. "but this Is plumb

They selected about one-fourth the
cars contents and made up kyacks
for three mules. Immediately Breck
dashed on the bedding and drew
cinches tight, and so had it all COW
cred before the family returned.
When they did come from the house
he hustled them into their saddles.
He put the Senator In the lead
and gave him . mule to tow. Then
Mrs. Sutherland with her maid next;
q middle-aged woman whose tight
lips showed disapproval Of the whole
affair. Toby followed, surprising
Breck with . good knowledge Of
horses. Irene chose her own place
next himself at the rear.
The start was made noisily, with
Dick Divine grinning from his door.
Breck turned and waved. at the
same time seeing they were not to
be alone on the upward trail. II was
plain that Art had waited deliber-
ately. Now he was getting his salt
train into line.

CHAPTER xvIn

Much could be read in this act,
but II Art had q definite purpose he
was in no hurry to show il. For
two hours Breck pushed his tourist
string up the wall, ascending in
short, hair-pin turns directly over
the pack camp. II was hot when
they started. Soon the Senator took
on his white coat and tried to sit
on It. A moment later he removed
his tie and hung it on the saddle
horn. He seemed inclined to dis
pose Of his shirt also when Mrs.
Sutherland spoke to him.
At the end of two hours they came
onto shelf where the first long
needle pine offered shade and q
spring triclied from the rock. Breck
called . halt, telling everyone to
get OF and stretch their legs.
II was while they rested on the
shelf that Art TiIlson came swinging

leading two. He made strong. rug.
