He ignored them personally in that cam- paign, he should not have stooped to answer them now. In speaking to labor, Mr. Hoover misinterpreted the stand of the De- mocratic party on the tariff. He did it in the same manner as his colleague, Senator Smoot and Vice President Curtis, were doing it on the same evening in the Mormon Taber- nacle at Salt Lake City. Senator Smoot, the high priest of the Repub- lican tariff, is fighting for his po- litical life in this campaign.

He is going to do his best to have you hanged, and Ted—dear God, I don't know what he may do to Ted, Al- ready he has sent for his vaqueros. He threatens to shoot Ted before them all because he was your ac- complice.” “Ted never was.” “I know. 1 told him that. But it’s an excuse, and he wants only the least excuse. He hates Ted because 1 love him, There's nothing he won't do to keep me from Ted— not even murder, Major, you've got to come back with me and make him give Ted up, even if you have to send your cavalry. He would give in if your cavalry came.” Blount’s face reddened. “The damned old viper. He knows he hasn’t the right.” “Major,” Bob interrupted quietly, let's not talk of right when we speak of Morales. Adela’s plan is the only possible way. Either you force him to give Ted up, or I'm afraid to think what might happen to the boy.” “But I can’t invade Mexican terri- tory with cavalry.” “You've already invaded it, chas- “My orders were to get out and stay out of Mexico as soon as the capture was made, Bob, I can’t call on the soldiers to use force on Mo- rales, I'd be court-martialed. We'll phone the consul——” Bob's fist fell with a thud on the table. “Man, by the time a consul begins diplomatic investigation, the thing is done. Force is all that Mo- rales will give heed to. Force he understands, and nothing else. You've got to bully him, threaten him. There’s no other way, I tell vot” ; The little major walked to the win- dow. “Adela, I’d do anything in the world for you, but this thing I can't do. Every paper in the country and in Europe tomorrow would be rag- ing about armed intervention of the United States in Mexico. God knows where it would end. The govern- ment couldn’t back me, for it would mean war. Every civilized nation in the world would be watching, The government would have to repudi- ate me. I simply can't do it. I'll go myself, I'll threaten, I'll promise.” Bob shook his head. “It won’t do. By yourself you can do nothing. It's too perfect a chance for Morales to revenge himself doubly on me and to rid the country of the man Adela loves, Nothing in life ever seemed 80 sweet to Morales as this, He'd never give it up. Force is the only chance.” In silence the three stood looking down at the burning candles. Sobs shook the girl, while angrily Bob looked across at the major. Then, from beyond the light a casement window opened, and a burly Mexican bulked against the starry sky outside. Bob’s lips moved. “Manuel!” “Si, sefior.”” The old Mexican turned the sombrero in his hand. “Sefior, outside are men of the band. They have asked me to bear you a message. They are true men and loyal. They say if you give the word we will take you away into Mexico, where no man can find you. We will live together, there, sefior, ind gath- er men again, unti! »nce more we e GAY BANDIT tS “I'll do it, Heaven help me.

Give me a nod and once more you are a free man. By daylight you are in the mountains,” Bob smiled. “Do you understand, major? They want to steal me away from you,” The major nodded. “I’d be damned happy if you gave the word, Bob. Only I know you can't.” “No, that’s just the joke of it. I can’t. Bob reached for a cigarette. “This,” he added smiling, “would be something Aunt Clara might enjoy.” With a little cry the girl ran to him. “Bob, take those men out there. Lead them again. Ride to the haci- enda and set Ted free. You'll let him go, major, just tonight?” “My dear girl, you're asking the impossible.” : Violently the gifl turned on him. In her ‘voice a ring of contempt brought blood to the major’s cheek, “Impossible! You, a. soldier, say that? Are you ing to doom a countryman of yours to torture, per- haps to death? You can't do it— you know you can't. Give Bob one more day. If you don’t and if any- thing happens to Ted, you'll be sorry until the end of your life, because you will be a coward, because you didn’t dare to chance it when all our happiness lay at stake.” Helplessly the major looked at Bob, then down at the girl, and at last his eyes came to rest on the in- tent tace of Manuel. There, before the eyes of all he fought his fight. At last he took 4 deep breath. “I'll R! GILL .. Whether it’s right or not, do it, God help me. Whether it's right or not, I’ve got to do it. We can't let Ted die. And if the United States government wants to tear up my commission, they can tear and be damned!” Bob's eyes flashed. He seized the major by the shoulders. “Now [ hear my old friend again.” He sprang to the casement where, be- neath him, a dim half-circle of horse- men waited, and as he flung open the window a deep shout arose, then fell to instant silence, while each man strained forward to hear his beloved leader's words, “Compafieros,” rose the clear voice, “once more we ride together. Perhaps for the last time. At dawn we fight our last fight against the hacienda of Morales. The time we have long awaited has come. Arouse the border, compafieros, gather every man. You, José, go east. Tell every rancher to mount and ride hard. Blasio, and you, Tomas, go west. Bring back the men from the Valley of Cortez. Go out into the desert ranges. Spread the word that the border has long waited for, Say to all that tonight El Coyote rides against the enemy and for the leat time. Let every man who has norse and gun follow on to Morales’s. Let one of yon go out to Eagle Rock and light there the signal fire for the Yaqui.” He turned to the couple beside him, his eyes ablaze. “By God!” he exulted “this night (ll turn hell loose along the border. To- night ten generations of oppression will be avenged, Tonight freedom comes.” He waved toward the dark- ness outside. “Go, compajicros, Ride as men of the desert ride who seek frecdom or quick death.” (Tc Be Continued Monday)
