LeVAY The Land of Broken Promises A Stirring Story of the Mexican Revolution By DANE COOLIDGE Author of “The Fighting Fool,” "‘Hidden Waters," "“The Texican," Etc. HllustrationsbyDON J. LAVIN (Copyright, 1914, by Frank A. Munsey.) (Continueq from Page 2) “Well, ‘muchas gracias’ is mine,” ab- served De Lancey. “It doesn't cost anything, and it buys a whole lot.” “Sure,” agreed Bud; “but we ain't buying nothing from him—he’s the one particular hombre we want to steer clear of, and keep him guessing as long as we can. That's my view of it, pardner.” “Oh, that's all right,” laughed De Lancey, “he won't get anything out of me—that is, nothing but a bunch of hot air. Say, he's a shrewd-looking old guinea, isn’t he? Did you notice that game eye? He kept it kind of drooped, almost shut, until he came to the point—and then he opened it up real fierce. Reminds me of a big fighting owl waking up in the day- time. But you just watch me handle him, and if I don't fool the old boy at every turn it'll be because I run out of bull.” “Well, you can hand him the bull if you want to,” grumbled Bud, “but the first time you give anything away I'm going to pick such a row with the old cuse that wé'll hawe to make a new trall to get by. So leave 'im alone, if you ever expect to see that girl!” A close association with Phil De Lancey had left Bud not unaware of his special weaknesses, and Phil was undoubtedly romantic. Given a barred and silent house, shut off from the street by whitened walls and a ve- randa screened with flowers, and the questing eyes of Mr. De Lancey would turned to those barred windows as cer- talnly as the needle seeks the pole. On every trip, coming and going, he had conned the Aragon house from the vine-covered corredor in front to the walled-in summer garden behind, hop- ing to surprise a view of the beautiful daughter of the house. And unless ru- mor and Don Juan were at fault, she was indeed worthy of his solicitude— a gay and sprightly creature, brown- eyed like her mother and with the same glorious chestnut hair, Already those dark, mischievous eyes had been busy and, at the last big dance at Fortuna, she had set many heads awhirl. Twice within two years her father, in a rage, had sent her away to school in order to break off some ill-considered love affair; and now a battle royal was being waged between Manuel del Rey, the dashing captain of the rurales stationed at Fortuna, and Feliz Luna, son of a rich haciendado down in the hot country, | for the honor of her hand. What more rommantic, then, than that a handsome American, stepping grace- fully into the breach, should keep the haughty lovers from slaying each other by bearing off the prize himself? So reasoned Philip De Lancey, mus- ing upon the ease with which he could act the part; but for prudential pur- poses he said nothing of his vaunting ambitions, knowing full well that they would receive an active veto from Bud. For, while De Lancey did most of the talking, and a great deal of the thinking for the partnership, Hooker “By What Right Do You Take Pos- session of My Mine?” was not lacking in positive opinions; ' and upon sufficient occasion he would | express more force ths hir tho 1 de upon this unexpected girl, Phil changed the and said no more of hopes within his heart. gh often with Therefore, about the gon or the It was not so easy, however, to avoid Aragon, for that gentleman had appar- ently taken the pains to inform him. selt as to the place where they were at work, and he was walting for them in the morning with a frown as black as a thunder cloud. “He's on!” muttered Phil, as they drew. near enough to see his face. “What shall we do?” “Do nothing,” growled Bud through his teeth; “you jest let me do the talk- ing!” He maneuvered his horse adroitly and, with a skilful turn, cut in be- ! tween his pardner and Aragon. “'S dias,” he greeted, gazing down in burly defiance at the militant Ara- | gon; and at the same moment he gave De Lancey’s horse a furtive touch with his spur. “Buenos dias, senores!” returned Aragon, striding forward to intercept them; but as neither of the Americans looked back, he was left standing in the middle of the street, “That’s the way to handle 'im,” ob< ‘served Hooker, as they trotted briskly down the lane. “Leave 'im to me!” “It'll only make him mad,” objected De Lancey crossly. “What do you want to do that for?” “He's mad already,” answered Bud. “l want to quarrel with him, so he can’t ask us any questions. Get him 80 mad he won’t talk—then it'll be a fair fight and none of this snake-in-the- grass business.” “Yes, but don’t put it on him,” pro- tested De Lancey. “Let him be friendly for a while, if he wants to.” “Can’t be friends,” eaid Bud lacon- jcally; “we jumped his claim.” “Maybe he doesn’t want it,” sug- gested Phil hopefully. “He's dropped a lot of money on it.” “You bet he wants it,” returned Hooker, with conviction. “I'm going to camp out there—the old boy is liable to jump us.” “Aw, you're crazy, Bud!” cried Phil; but Hooker only smiled. “You know what happened to Kru- ger,” he answered. “I'll tell you what, we got to keep our eye open around here.” They rode on to the mine, which was only about five miles from For- tuna, without discussing the matter further; for, while Phil had generally been the leader, in this particular case Kruger had put Bud in charge, and he seemed determined to have his way 80 far as Aragon was concerned. In the ordering of supplies and the laying out of development work he deferred to Phil in everything, but for tactics he preferred his own judgment. It was by instinct rather than rea- son that he chose to fight, and people ! who follow their instincts are hard to change. So they put in the day in making careful measurements, ac- cording to the memoranda that Kru- ger had given them; having satisfied themselves as to the approximate locality of the lost vein, they turned back again toward town with their heads full of cunning schemes. Since it was the pleasure of the Senor Aragon to make war on all who entered his preserves, they check- mated any attempt on his part to locate the lead by driving stakes to the north of their ledge; and, still fur- ther to throw him off, they decided to mark time for a while by doing dead work on a cut. Such an approach would be needed to reach the mouth of their tunnel. At the same time it would give steady employment to Mendez and keep him under their eye, and as soon as Aragon showed his hand they could make out their final papers in peace and send them to the City of Mexico. And not until those final papers were recorded and the transfer duly made would they so much as stick | ., a pick into the hillside or show a| ¢ lump of quartz. But for a Spanish gentleman, sup- posed to be all supple curves and sinu- ous advance, Don Cipriano turned out somewhat of a surprise, for when they rode back through his narrow street again he met them squarely in the road and called them to a halt, “By what right, gentlemen—" he de- manded in a voice tremulous with |% rage “—by what right do you take possession of my mine, upon which I have paid the taxes all these years, and conspire with that rogue, Cruz Mendez, to cheat me out of it? It is mine, I tell you, no matter what the agente mineral may say, and—" “Your mine, nothing!” broke in Hooker scornfully, speaking in the ungrammatical border-Mexican of the cowboys. “We meet one Mexican— he shows us the mine—that is all. The expert of the mining agent says it is vacant—we take it. Stawano!" He waved the matter aside with masterful indifference, and Aragon burst into a torrent of excited Span- ish. “Very likely, very likely,” comment- ed Bud dryly, without listening to a word: “si, senor, yo pienso!” e of fury swept over the Span- gibe and he turned to De Lancey.
