But now you help me watch, so nobody comes.” “Stawano!” exclaimed the Indian, well satisfied, and after that he spent hours on the hilltop, his black head thrust out over the crest like a chuck- awalla lizard as he conned the land below. “Two Men, One of Them a Rurale!” Bo the days went by until three weeks had passed, and still no papers came. As his anxiety increased Phil fell into the habit of staying in town overnight, and finally he was gone for two days. The third day was drawing to a close, and Bud was getting rest- less, when suddenly he beheld the Yaqui bounding down the hill in great leaps and making signs down the canyon, “Two men!” he called, dashing up to the tent; “one of them a rural!” “Why a rural?” asked Bud, mysti- fled. “To take me!” cried Amigo, striking himself violently on the breast. “Lend me your rifle!” “No,” answered Bud, after a pause; “you might get into trouble. Run and hide in the rocks—I will signal you when to come back.” “Muy bien,” said the Yaqui obedf! ently, and, turning, he went up over rocks ]Jike a mountain-sheep, bounding trom boulder to boulder until he dis- appeared among the hilltops. Then, as Bud brought in his horse and shut him hastily inside his corral, the two riders came around the point—a rural and Aragon! Now, in Mexico & rural, as Bud well knew, means trouble—and Aragon meant more trouble, trouble for him. Certalnly, so busy a man as Don Cipri- ano would not come clear to his camp to help capture a Yaqui deserter. Bud sensed {t from the start that this was another attempt to get possession of their mine, and he awaited their com- ing grimly. “'S tardes,” he said in reply to the rural’'s abrupt salute, and then he stood silent before his tent, looking them over shrewdly. The rural was a hard-looking citizen, as many of them are, but on this occasion he seemed a trifle embarrassed, glancing inquiringly at Aragon. As for Aragon, he was gazing at a long line of jerked meat which Amigo had hung out to dry, and his drooped eye opened up suddenly as he turned his cold regard upon Hooker “Senor,” he said, speaking with an accusing har “we are looking for the men who are stealing my cattle, and 1 see we have not far to g0. Where did you get that meat?” “1. got it an'l\ a deer,” returned Bud; “there is his hide on the fence; you can see it it you'll look.” The rural, glad to create a diver- sion, rode over wind examined the hide and came back tisfied, but Aragon was not so eusily a | “By wl demanded truc- ulently, “do American, Kkill deer in our « Have you the special permi ich is requir 4 “No, senor ed Hooker so- berly; “the dec killed by a Mex- ican I have for me!"” paused, bal ‘lbe rural wishes to search,” Bud, throwi “and stay dropped his he said, turning to that '\stoundxd official, is welcome to do so." “he THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., June 11, f:’Q" OO OO 000 K The Land of Broken Promises By DANE COOLIDGE A Stirring Story Of The Mexican Revolutlon SRRSO DS DRI DS O ner, De Lancey. | as the rural joined in with a derisive j over the ore. | Bud, | to its holster SRR | Ll Lol s 5w OO e “Muchas gracias, no!” returned the | rural, shaking a finger in front of his face, and then he strode over to where Aragon was muttering and spoke in a low tone, “No!” dissented Aragon, shaking his head violently; “no—no! I want thie man arrested!” he cried, turning vin- dictively upon Bud. “He has stolen my tools—my mine—my land! He has no business here—no title! This land is mine, and I tell him to go.

De Lancey!” jeered Aragon, suddenly indulging himself in a sar- donic laugh. “De Lancey! Ha, ha!” “\What's the matter?” cried Hooker, S k speak up, hombre!” he threatened, stepping closer as his eyes took on a dangerous gleam. “And let me tell you now,” he added, “that if any man touches a hair of his head I'll kill him like a dog!” The rural backed his horse away, as if suddenly discovering that the Amer- ican was dangerous, and then, salut- ing respectfully as he took his leave, he said: “The Senor De Lancey is in jail!” They whirled their horses at that and galloped off down the canyon, and as Bud gazed after them he burst into a frenzy of curses. Then, with the one thought of setting Phil free, he ran out to the corral and hurled the saddle on his horse. It was through some chicanery, he knew—some low-down trick on the part of Aragon—that his pardner had been imprisoned, and he swore to have him out or know the reason why. Ei- ther that or he would go after Aragon and take it out of his hide. It was outside Bud's simple code even to question his pardner's inno- cence, but, innocent or guilty, he would have him out if he had to tear down the jail. So he slapped his saddle-gun into the sling, reached for his quirt, and went dashing down the canyon. At a turn in the road he came suddenly upon Aragon and the rural, split a way between them, and leaned for- ward as Copper Bottom burned up the trafl, It was long since the shiny sorrel had been given his head, and he need- ed neither whip nor spurs—but a mile or two down the arroyo Bud suddenly reined him in and looked behind. Then he turned abruptly up the hillside and jumped him out on a point, looked agaln, and rode slowly back up the trail, Aragon and the rural were not in sight—the question was, were they following? For a short distance he rode warily, not to be surprised in his suspicion; then, as he found tracks turning back, he gave head to his horse and galloped swiftly to camp. The horses of the men he sought stood at the edge of the mine-dump, and, throwing his bridle-rein down be- side them, Bud leaped off and ran up the cut. Then he stopped short and reached for his six-shooter. The two men were up at the end, down on their knees, and digging like dogs after a rabbit, S0 eager were they in their search 80 confident in their fancied security, that they never looked up from their work, and the tramp of Hooker’s boots was drowned by their grubbing until he stood above them. There he paused, his pistol in hand, and waited grimly for developments. “Ha!” cried Aragon, grabbing at a piece of quartz that came up, “Aqui lo tengo!” He drew a second piece from his pocket and placed them together. “It is the same!” he said. Still half-buried in the excavation, he turned suddenly as a shadow crossed him, to get the light, and his l jaw dropped at the sight of Bud. “T'll trouble you for that rock,” ob- served Bud, holding out his hand, and as the rural jumped, Aragon handed There was a moment's silence as Bud stood over them—then he stepped back and motioned them out with his gun. Down the jagged cut they hurried, awed into a guilty silence by his an- ger, and when he let them mount without a word the rural looked back, surprised. Even then Bud said noth- ing, but the swing of the Texan's gun spoke for him, and they rode quickly out of sight. “You dad-burn retu °d greasers!” growled | pistol with a jab Then he looke \l at the ore.
