Jess does not know this, As the train is nearing its des- tination a broken rail necessitates a stop, and while gazing out the win- dow Willard sees a cruel man hit- ting a horse with a heavy piece of wood. He jumps from the train and gives the fellow, along with some of his hirelings, a ‘lesson in the manly art. Willard then boards th- train proceeds to El Paso. on ap- plying for his job he is informed by a clerk the boss is not in, but in- structions had been left for Jess to Ko to work immediately. His first customer is the blond young lady whom he met on the train, She informs Jess that her father, a Kentucky gentleman, had died re- cently and left her in straitened circumstances, but with three race horses. A Mr. Burr had written her with the information that he would part with $30,000 for the animals, She was there to make the sale. Mr, Burr turns out to be the gentleman Jess had beaten, and he was in league with Mexican bandits whose idea it was to eteal the horses, Jess makes Burr sign an agreement to take the horses, which are at the Juarez race track. Burr does this, providing the horses are delivered on thia side of the border, Willard then resigns his job and starts plotting to get the animals over the bridge. One of those Mexican uprisings takes place and Jess hires some ‘bold American cowboys to ride from the race track over the bridge. In order | to do this they had to pass right through a stream of the bandits. ‘Whether their horses got over could not be ascertained. At this part of the picture the repetitions take place and all one could see was Jess, his cowboys, and a flock of Mexicans rid- ing over the plains. However, Willard does not marry the blond young lady, but turns her over to the lad who trained her dad's horses, and wishing them good luck he departs, probably for Toledo, where he was offered another job at more than $300 per month, on the latter team’s diamond, spoiled the Skeeters’ prospects of capturing both ends of the two-ply bill and re- sulted in an even break.
