tude While Public Official.That he is free from any moral

turpitude in any oí his transactionswhile acting in official capacities,is the statement of B. C. Hernan-dez, Republican candidate for con-gressman, who visited Cimarron,Tuesday. Mr. Hernandez spoke

to a large audience at the AthleticHall Tuesday evening when helaid bare the facts in the chargespreferred against him by the A-

lbuquerque Journal ten days ago.

The Republican candidate stated

that neither he nor Mr. Ely, slatechairman of the Republican organ-

ization, would resign from the race

and that they do not intend to sodo. He stated however, that thecampaign was launched to win in

this election and that nothing hon-

orable will be left undone to bringabout a comolete victory of theticket in the state.

Mr. Hernandez is a good oratorand captivated his audience fromtart to finish. Following the ad-

dress, a dance was given whichwas fully enjoyed by one and all.

Information received by the In- -.. r. (..,- - rnmmerce commission IS

that the straight fare between NewYork and St. Louia, lor instance,will be advanctd two dollars. Thefares between New York and inter-mediate point will be b.tsed on t' aincrease between the two larneterminals- -

The fare between New York andChicago will be based entirely up-

far as practicable, the fares between New York and intermediatepoints and Chicago and intermed-iate points will bear a like mileagecharge. Becaus of the lws ofsome intermediate states fiV.ing themaximum of intrastate passenger-fare-

at 2 cents a mile some diff-iculty is experienced bv railroad of-ficials in working out the details ofthe proposed advance in interstaterater, but it is expected that thesedifficulties mav be removed.

The proposition of the new tar-iffs now is in progress and it is expected that they may be in readiness to file with the commission by.October i.

Rapid Work

On Mines

In Red River

Mining developments at RedRiver and E'town districts are going ahead at a rapid rate, and from.now every means will be employedto bring the mines to a high stateof output, especially so since theofficial announcement that the San-ta Fe is to extend the Rocky Mt.route to Taos next year, work onwhich is to be started early nextspring. With the extension of theroad to Taos, the mines will bepractically tapped and the ore canbe shipped with profit to the smelt-ers there to be refined and the val-uable ingredients separated.

While some of the mines havebeen developed to a high state inthese districts regardless of the ex-tension of the road, others havebeen merely undergoing prelirry-nar- y

work and ascertaining thequality and grade of ore in theirholdings. Some of the ore whilethere is tin abundance ol it, is notso rich in mineral, while others ofwhich there is not the quantity re-covers what is lost in that respectin quality.

Fair Assn.

n iosters

About twenty boosters of the N.N. M. Fair came down from Raton, Friday to give it an due puo- -licity in this section as well as tokindle their receptive mood forfair week. The boosters came byway of the Uracca Ranch, Rayadoand Miami, and at the first men-tioned place they were receivedwith open arms by Geo. H. Webster, Jr., who treated the boostersto a luncheon and in otherwise pro-vided the gutsts with other thingsthat go to make hospitality. Twohours were delightfully spent atthe ranch, where also a number ofCimarron boosters bad motored toguide the Ratoniles into the KeyCity. The party sojourned sometime in Cimarron following whichthey departed for their nativehaunts tired, but nevertheless wellrepaid for their troubles during thetrip, which has come to be an an-nual event.

joying nice weather the psycholog-ical belief is that cold weather willsoon be here. Owing to the veryunsettled aather the past fewmonths the fall and winter weatheris very uncertain and the weatherprophets are at a loss to predict amild or severe season.

( Summary of Hvent. )Another great battle of the

present war, described as the mostimportant so far to all concerned,has beeu in progress a week be-tween the Oertnans and theFrench-Britis- without decisiveresult. The battle line, abouteighty mileR long, stretches prac-tically from Amiens, in northwestFrance, to Verdun, on the Alsa-tian frontier.

Both sides have cnncentrntPiltheir greatest strength along thisline. Each side has brought up

of all kinds, un-til now more than a million Ger-mans oppose a like number ofFrench and British. The Ger-mans are strongly entrenched andhave mounted heavy artillery inthe Ardennes mountains. Theyhave successfully resisted all assa.ilts of their enemy.

If they lose this battle it willmean the evacuation of Frenchand Belgian territory by the Ger-mans and the transfer of the ac-tivities of war to German terri-tory. Military experts say sucha change would certainly be Ger-many's undoing. Should the Ger-mans win this battle it probablywould not mean a permanent lossfor the allies.

Germane Hinder Slavs.Russia has all but crushed the army

of Austria, according to reports fromvarious points, and now occupies theprovinces of Bukawins and Galicia.The Servians and Montenegrins havesucceeded In pushing back the Aus-trians in the south and in taking Sem-ita. They now threaten Budapest.

The Russians have had no successof note In their operations againstGermsny during the last week. Thekaiser's army has punished the SlavInvaders of East Prussia severely atevery point and has stopped the ad-vance. The czar now says he will put7.000,000 in tbe field to crush Ger-many and will leave Austria to

Her standingarmy and auxiliary have been readyfor the field for several weeks. . Afinal mobilisation, calling all reserv-ists, has been ordered for Septem-ber 26.

Austria may sue fcr peace independently of Germany, according toreports from Vienna and Rome. Herrepeated defeats have had a very decreasing effect on the country. Industry is blighted. The poor suffernow, and will suffer more wfcsn winter comes, and there are indicationsof revolt among the masses. It issaid serious riots already have occur-red In Vienna and Budapest.

Turkey Cools Her Talk,8lnce the reversal of German suc-

cesses In France and, the strong move-ment of Russia against Germany Isbeginning to count, Turkey has reced-ed from her warlike attitude towardthe allies. Her newspapers, however,have been forbidden by the govern-ment to call the Russian capital cityPetrograd. They must use tbe oldterm, St. Petersburg, which the Rus-sians no longer use.

Japan continues to besiege the Ger-man colony and naval base at TslngTao, in the Chinese colony of KaioChow. A strong fleet commands theharbor and 30,000 Infantry surroundthe city. There has been no decisiveaction in that theater for two weeksor longer.

A Five Days' Battle.London. For five days the British

and French armies have been tryingto dislodge the Germans from thestrong line of defenses which theyhave constructed on the battle frontstretching from the Olse to the Meuserivers. There have been attacks andcounter attacks, tut in the words ofthe official communication "there hasbeen no change In the situation.

The allies claim to have madeslight progress at some points againstthe German right wing north of theRiver Alsne and to have repulsedcounter attacks there and betweenCraoune and Reims, while they sayin the center and on the right theGermans are acting purely on the de-fensive, having "dug themselves intoentrenchments."

GERMANS DRIVEN RACK

MAKE DESPERATE EFFORT TORECAPTURE RHEIMS AND

Ws.ttrn Nawapapar fnloti Nw Barría.London, Sept. 22. The unparalleled

struggle on the river Alsne, whichcommenced about a week ago Satur- -lay, has developed Into stage ouera--

aature of sorties from a besiegedfortress. Occasionally one or the oth-er gains a little ground, but It Is solittle tliat the opposing forces remainIn their trenches or take up positionsIn new entrenchments Immediately behind those from which they ware drlv-9n- .

The western wing of the Germanline has been thrust back about sevenmiles during the last forty eight hoursas a sequel to continuous fightingalgbt and day.

Both armies, despite almost superhu-man fatigue, show the utmost determi-nation not to yield an Inch of groundwithout a terrible struggle; but thefresher troops at the disposal of tbeallied commanders have graduallyforced the Germans to recede.

It la now becoming the conviction ofmilitary men that nothing but out-flanking movements can have any se-rious offect on either army. The Ger-mans, according to their own offh iaireport, have been strongly reinforcedboth on the right where General VonKluck Is making such a stubborn standla almost Impregnable positions on thehills north of the Alsne, and in thecenter where the Germans are makingalmost superhuman efforts to recap-ture Rhelms.

It Is probably the desire to recapturethis town at all costa, because of itsImportance as the key to importantcommunications that will Improve alltheir connections for attack or retreat,that has led the Germans to continuethe bombardment, which has resultedin the destruction of the famous ca-thedral. Thla bombardment has beenof the moet severe kind and is beingdirected from Brimont, which theFrench recaptured but lost again, andfrom other bills around the town, andla of deadly character.

The French have brought np addi-tional heavy artillery In an attempt todrive the Germans out of these hills,for until this Is done the situation inthe town must be difficult.

Severe fighting also continues northof the Alsne and in the Craonne dis-trict, where the Germans, the Frenchofficial communication says, have beenrepulsed at all points with consider-able losses. This of an extremely dif-ficult country over which to make anadvance. The plateau of Craonne Isof limestons formation, with the sidesalmost as perpendicular as walls. Thevalleys In wet weather become quag-mires. It was on thla plateau just acentury ago that Bluecher failed tocheck Napoleon. The desperate re-sistance of the Germans Is probablydue to the fact that a retreat wouldmean the abandonment of their artil-lery and glgauüc siego guns in thequagmire.

On the allies' left the French reportclaims another advance on the rightbank of tbe river Olse as far aa theheights of Lassigny, west of Noyon,which has been the center of heavyfighting for a week past.

The allies apparently have scaled thewalls of the plateau and now hold theheights, but ahead of them they foundVon Kluck, In great strength, and arenow awaiting the outrome of the at-tempt to turn bis flank, which wouldclear the road for them.

The French army, which is tryingto work arovind the German right, isposhing Its way slowly along. Start-ing from Compelgne, it reached Noy-on. and is on the heights of Lassigny.

Its next objective point is Tergn'.sr,nineteen miles from Leon, an import-ant railway Junction which tbe Ger-mans are using for provisioning theirforces.

Tbe French have made some headway In Champagne and on the westernslope of the Argonne and have 1

Hundred Farm Hands Needed.Melrose. The crop acreage and

yield Is so large In eastern New Mexi-co this year that the fanners are ab-solutely unable to handle tho situa-tion owing to the scarcity of farmhands. Tbe Melrose trade territoryalone needs at least ten farm handsat once in the harvest fields. Between700 ami 1,000 acres of broom corn isstanding in the fields for want ofsomeone to pull It. And the acreageyield of maize and kafflr corn Isgreater than it has ever been andmuch of it will go to waste unless har-vest 'lands can be secured. Fifty-eigh- t

Investor of the Airbrake.Who really Invented ths airbrake?

Certainly the automatic airbrake, thaor that has proved practicable and ofpermanent value In modern railroad-ing, was the product of the late GeorgeWestlnghouse's Ingenuity. His patentfor the automatic brake was taken outin 1872, superseding theor "straight" Westinghouse airbrakepatented In 1869, and later the West-inghou-

vacuum brake was Invented-nut- ,as in the ease of most other in-

ventions, there are several claimantsfor originality in this field. ThusMme. M. Drouanet daughter of M.Debruges of Parts, claims the distinc-tion of priority for her father. ThaNew York Times hss a letter fromState Senator William P. Fiero ofWhite Plains containing a patent officedeclaration by his grandfather, HenryMiller, of a "new and useful improve-ment In the application of steam andcompressed air to the purpose of op-erating railroad brakes," recorded Jan-uary 2, 1865. Mr. Miller was doubt-less a pioneer In the progress of air-brake Invention.

tlez, the Republican candidate fil houe of represent a ti ve,

The Questionblicity given Mr. Hernan-- r

a member of the nation-vtrard- s,js conduct wrriV

treasurer and tax collector of Rio Arriba county, the pub-lic is given the other side of the question, which undoubt-edly will vindicate the charges against the candidate.

Several conclusions are to be drawn from the imbrog-lio, and chief among them that the Republican party in thestate refused to be bled fcey the A. M. J. in attempting tomake the party pay it a large sum and in its failure, it as-sailed the leading candidate on the ticket. That thesecharges are not true, or better, that Mr. Hernandez cannotbe accused of misappropriating county funds, is now thebelief of the great masses of intelligent people of the state.The facts as they are known are, that Mr. Hernandez re-quested the traveling auditor to audit the books of that of-fice, and not until almost eight months had elapsed did theauditor go to Rio Arriba countv, to find what he had foundin every county of the state. Mr. Hernandez had notdrawn his salary in the shape of fees and when he vacatedthe office for his successor, he had something like $200coming to him.

From things as they have shaped themselves since thecharges were published, it becomes known that they wouldnot have been made public, had Mr. Hernandez not beennominated to run for the office to which he Is justly fitted.These attacks on the integrity of the candidate are purelymalicious on the pXrt of the Journal and its appeal to thepress of the state, while at first it was believed to be thetruth, is a direct insult to the publishers and the people ofthe state.

Mr. Hernandez and Mr. Ely will not resign from theiroffices, following the appeal of the Journal. They willprove to the people of the state that they are honest andfully equal to the occasion in every sense.

The News' SideBelieving that the report of the Albuquerque Journal

concerning the official conduct of B. C. Hernandez, wastrue, the News published the charges of the Republicancandidate in part. While the News acted in good faith,it goes without saying that it was radically mistaken, andit believes that the public will coincide with its policy togive its undivided support to the Republican candidate isthe best policy it can pursue.

The readers of the News know that its policy is fair-ness and equality of right at all times regardless of friendor foe, and in this connection it is well to state that, it isnot beyond the dignity of this publication to retract whatit has published against the character of Mr. Hernandez.This is done in the spirit without favoritism and in thesame faith that we had last week. The News is not tooobstinate to realize that the candidate is absolutely inno-cent of the charges preferred against him.

The Traveling AuditorAs things become more generally known, it is learned

that the traveling auditor of the state, is far from beingwhat the public has a right to expect from a public official,and public cannot be blindfolded any longer. For sevenmonths the traveling auditor failed to audit the books ofMr. Hernandez in Rio Arriba county. A thing of morethan ordinary disgust to the public. Not only that, he or-dered the officials of Quay county to keep the books a cer-tri- n

way and came directly to Colfax county and orderedthe officials to do otherwise than in Quay.

When the McDonald administration stepped into of-fice, the treasurer of the Miners Hospital at Raton, re-quested the traveling auditor to audit the books. The gov-ernor was appealed to several times, and not until this day-hav- e

the books been audited. Another peculiar coinci-dence is, why did one of the liest accountants in the stateresign from the auditor's office? The public can rest as-sured that something was "rotten in Denmark."

The traveling auditor should resign. No public off-icial over whom he nas jurisdiction knows what steps totake to avoid prosecution.

Right now, more than any other time, Cimarron wouldbe benefitted greatly by having a Hour and feed mill. Thefarmers would receive more benefit and after all, they arethe people who build up the country.

With so much dissatisfaction among the masses, one iforced to believe .that labor and capital are far from work-ing harmoniously together, even in times of depression.

Messrs. Skidmore and Taylor are two men who canrepresent Colfax county intelligently in the legislature.

suggested the project was sacrilegious

because "What Ood hath joined to-gether, let no man put asunder.'

England became Interested in thepossibilities of a canal in the latterpart of the seventeenth century whenWilliam "atcr-jcn- , founder of the Bunkof England, tried to found a commun-ity on the iBthmus of Darien, south ofthe present Panama, with the ultimateintention of establishing a transís!

route. Although that projectproved an utter fullure, other Britishsurveys were made from time to timetor 50 years.

In the first part of the last centurythe Uerman poet, Goethe, said: "It laabsolutely indispensable that theUnited States effect a passage fromhe Mexican gulf to the Pacific ocean.

and 1 am certain they will do it."In 1814 the Spanish government, by

decree entered upon the constructionof au Isthmian canal, but the successful revolt of the South American colonlcs stopped the work. Jn 1825 Pres-ident Bolivar of the republic of NewGranada gave a franchise for a canalat Panama to a Frenchman. HaronThierry, who failed to raise the capltal required to carry out the project.

The first appearance of the UntiedStates in the history of the Panamacanal idea was iu 1815, when HetiryClay Introduced a resolution In thesenate which resulted in Charles Riddie being sent by President Jackson tovisit the various canal routeB proposedand report on their relative feasibllItlee. Diddle reported In the followingyear thnt he had been so struck bythe feasibility of the Punama routethat be had nol visited the oilier pro-posed routes, the Nicaragua!!.

"Hurt my feelings!" echoed Hookerscornfully. "Huh. what are we down'hare, lor, anyway a Sunday school'picnic?

'VvVll. Bud.' Said Ho Ijinrcy withmuck gravity, "If that's the way youicci about 11 I won't do It any more!"

"I wish yttu wouldn't." preathed Bud,'raising hla bead from his bands; "It'euro wears me out, Pbll, worrying'ebodt it"

"Well, then, I won't do It," protested'Pful sincerely. "Ho that's settled nowfwbo'a going to turu Mexican citizen?"

Lancey, diving Into bis pocket tor(money.

'Don't need to," responded Bud;"you ooa do what you please."

"No; I'll match you!" peralsted Phil.'"Ttiat Was the agreement wheneverIt was an even break we'd let tbemoney talk. Here's your quarter andIf I match you I'll become tbe Mex-ican citizen. All set? Let 'er go!"

He flipped the ooln Ihto the air andcaught it in blu hand.

"Heads!" ho called, without lookingat U. "What you got?"

"Heads!" answered Bud, and Philchucked his money Into the air againand laughed as It dropped Into bispalm.

cocks talking with their bands andeyebrows and everybody else backingoff, I stepped In close and looked atthe girl.

"And she's some girl, too, believeme! The biggest brown eyes you eversaw In your life, a complexion- - likecream, and hair well, there neverwas such hair! She was fanning her-self real slow, and In the language ofthe fan that means: This don't Inter-est me a bit!' So, Just to show ber Iwas wise, I pulled out my handker-chief and dropped It on tbe floor, andwhen she saw me she stopped and be-gan to count the ribs In her fan. Thatwas my cue It meant she wanted to Ispeak with me so I stepped Up andsaid:

" 'Excuse mo. señorita, but whilethe gentlemen talk and If the señorayour mother, will permit perhaps wecan enjoy a dance?'

"And say. Bud, you should have seenthe way she rose to It. Tbe girl Is asport, believe me, and the Idea of thosetwo novios chewing the rag while shesat out the dance didn't appeal to herat all. So she gave me her hand andaway we went, with all the old ladlestalktng behind their fans and Manueldel Bey blowing up like a volcano Ina bunch of carambas or worse. Qee,it was great and she could dance likea queen.

"But here's the Interesting part ofIt what do you tbtak she asked me,after we'd had our little laugh? Well,you don't need to get so grouchy aboutIt she asked about you!"

"Aw!""Yes, she did! So you see what you

get for throwing her down!""What did she ask?""Well, she asked" here he stopped

and laughed "she asked If you were acowboy!"

"No!" cried Bud. pleased In spite ofhimself; "what does she know aboutcowboys?"

"Oh. she's wlsef" declared Phil;"she's been to school twice In LosAngeles and seen the wild west show.Tes, sir, she's just like an Americangirl and speaks English perfectly. Shetold me she didn't like the Mexicanmen they were too stuck on them-selves and say. Bud, when I told her

She Gave Me Her Hand and AwayWe Went.

you were a genuine Texas cowboy,what do you think she said?"

'W'y, I don't know," answered Hud,smiling broadly In anticipation; "whatdid abe say?"

"She said she'd like to know you!""She did not!" came back Bud wltk

sudden spiritThen he laughed the thought away,great burden seemed to be lifted

from his heart, and he found himselfhappy again.

CHAPTER X.

To an American, accustomed to getting things done first and talking aboutIt afterward, there la nothing so subtlyirritating as tbe old-worl- d formalism.the polite evasiveness of the Mexicans; and yet at times, they can speakto tho point with the best of us.

For sixty days Don Cipriano Aragónhad smiled and smiled and then, sud-denly, as theAast day of their miningpermit passed by and there was norecord of a denouncement by CruaMaudes, be appeared at tbe Ragle Tallmine with a pistol In bis belt and atriumphant sneer on his Hps.

Behind htm rode four Mexicanafully armed, and they made no replyto De Lancey 's polite buenos dual

"Take your poor things," burst outAragón, pointing contemptuously attheir tent and bada, "and roar low,pelado Mexican and gol Thla mineno longer stands la ths name of CmsMendes, and I want H for myself! No,not a word!" ha orlad, as Da Lanceyopened his mouth to explain. "Notb--iogl Only go!"

"No, seuor," said Hooker, droppinghis band to his six shooter which hunglow by his lag anU stepping forward"we will not gol"

--What?" stormed Aragón, "yo '

CIMARRON NEWS.

"Be careful here!" warned Bud,suddenly fixing its eyes on one of thefour retainers. 'If you touch that gunI'll kill yon I"

There was a pause. In which tbeMexicans sat frozen to their saddles,and then De Lancey broke the silence

"Ton must not think. Señor Ara-gón." he began, speaking with a cer-tain bitterness, "that yon can carryyour point Ilka this. My friend here Isa Texan, and If your man stir be willkill them. But there Is a taw tn tblscountry for every man what Is It thatyou want?"

"I want this mining claim," shoutedAragón, "that you have so unjustly ta-ken from me through that scoundrelMendes 1 And I want you to stepaside, so that I can set up my monu-ments and take possession of It."

"The Señor Aragón haa not been tothe agenta mineral today," euggestedDe Lancey suavely. "If ha had takenthe trouble he would not "

"Enough!" cried Aragón, still tryingto carry It off cavalierly; "1 sent myservant to the mining agent yesterdayand he reported that the permit badlapsed."

"If he bad taken the palna to In-quire for new permits, however," returned De Lancey, "he would havefound that one has been Issued to me.

am now a Mexican citizen, like your-self."

"You!" screamed Aragón, his eyesbulging with astonishment; and then,finding himself tricked, he turned sud-denly upon one of his retainers andstruck film with his whip.

"Son of a goat!" he stormed. "Pig!Is this the way you obey my orders?"

But though he raved and scolded, hebad gone too far, and there was noputting the blame on his servant Inhla desire to humiliate the hated grin-gos be had thrown down all his guarda,and oven De Lancey saw all too clear-ly what his intentions In tbe matterhad been.

"Spare your cursing, Señor Aragón,"be said, "and after this," he added,"you can save your pretty words, too

for somebody else. Wa shall re-main here and hold our properry."

"Ha! You Americans!" exclaimedAragón, as he chewed bitterly on hisdefeat "You will rob ua of every-thing even our government. 80 youare a Mexican citizen, eh? You mustvalue this barren mine very highly togive up the protection of your govern-ment But perhaps you are acquaintedwith a man named Kruger?" hasneered.

"He would sell bis honor any timeto defraud a Mexican of his rights,and I doubt not it was be who sentyou here. Yes, I have known it fromthe first but 1 will fool him yet!

"So you are a Mexican citizen, ScnorDe Lancey? Bien, then you shall paythe full price of your citizenship. Before our law you are now no more thanthat poor pelado, Méndez. You cannotappeal now to your consul at Cads-de-n

you are only a Mexican 1 Verywall!"

He shrugged his shoulder andsmiled significantly.

"No," retorted De Lancey angrily"you are right I cannot appeal to mygovernment! But let me tell you something, Señor Mexicano! An Americanneeds no government to protect himhe has his gun, and that Is enough!

"Yes, added Bud, who bad caughtthe drift of the last "and he has hisfriends, too; don't forget that!" Hastrode over toward Aragón and menaced him with a threatening linger.

"If anything happens to my friend,he hissed, "you will have me to whip!And now, señor," be added, speakingin the idiom of tbe country, "go withGod and do not come back!"

"Pah!" spat back Aragón, his batefor the pushing foreigner showing inevery glance; "I will beat you yet!And I pray Cod the revoltosos comethis way, If they take the full half ( ofmy cattle so long as they get youtwo!"

"Very well," nodded Bud as Aragónand bis men turned away, "but becareful you do not send aay!"

Good!" be continued, smiling grimly at the pallid Phil; "now we got blmwhere we want blm out In the openAnd I'll Just remember them four pal- -sanos he had with him they're bisbandy men, the boys with uerve anddon't never let one of 'em catch youout after dark."

De Lancey sat down on a rock andwiped hla face.

Heavens, Bud." he groaned,never would have believed It of blmI tbougbt be was on the square. ButIt lust goes to prove ike old saying -every Mexican has got a streak of yellow In him somewhere. All 7ouvegot to do Is to trust him long enoughand you'll find It out. Well, we're bepto Mr. Aragón, all right!

"1 nevar seen one of these polite.palavering Mexicans yet" observedBud sagely, "that wasn't crooked. Andthis feller Aragón is mean, to bootBut that's a game," be added, "thattwo can play at I don't know how youfee), Phil, but we been kinder creepingand slipping around so long that I'mall cramped up Inside. Never Bufferedmora in my Ufe than tbe laat sixtydays being polite to that damn Mextcan. Now Us our turn. Are yougame?'

Count me In!" cried De Lanceyrising from his rook. "What's tbaPlayr

"Well, we'll go Into town prettysoon," grinned Bud, "and If I runacross old Aragón, or any ona of themfour bad Mexicana, I'm going to makea show. And as for that big brlndledog of bis wall, he's sure going to gatroped and drug If he don't mendhi waya. Coma on, let's kotoh up ourhorses and go In for a Utile time!

"Off like a flash!" answered DaLancey, and, putting the spurs to hlafiery bay, he went dashing down thestreet, scattering chickens and hogsIn all directions. Behind came Bud,rolling Jovially tn his saddle, and asthe dogs rushed oat after his pardnerhe twirled bis loop once and laid Itskilfully across the big brindle's back.But roping doga la a difficult task atbest, and Bud was out of practise Thesudden blow struck Brlndle to therronnd and the loop came away un-filled. Tba Texan laughed, ahlftlng inhis saddle.

rushing to see what had happened heturned Copper Bottom in his tracksand came back like a streak of light.

'Look out' you ugly man's dog!" heshouted, whirling hie rope aa be rode;and then, amid a chorus of indignantprotests, he chased the yelping Brlndledown the lane and through a hole lathe fence. Then, with no barm done,be rode back up the street, smilingamiably and looking for more dogs torope.

In the door of the store stood Aragón, pale with fury, but Bud appearednot to see him. His eyes were turnedrather toward the house where, on theedge of the veranda, Gracia Aragónand her mother stood staring at hisantics.

Good morning to you, ladles!" hesaluted, taking off bis sombrero with

flourish; "lovely weather, ain't It?"And with his tongue in his cheek anda roguish glance at Aragón, who wasstruck dumb by this last effrontery, hawent rollicking after his pardner, send-ing back a series of Joyous yips.

'Now that sure does me good," heconfided to Phil, as they rode downbetween cottonwoods and struck intotbe muddy creek. "No seuse in it, butIt gets something out of my systemthat has kept me from feeling glad.Did you see me bowlns to the ladles?Some class to that bow no? Youwant to look out I got my eye on thatgal, and I'm sure a hard one to head.Only thing la, 1 wouldn't like the oldman for a father-in-la- the way mat-ters stand between us now."

He laughed boisterously at this witticism, and the little Mexican chil-dren, playing among the willows,crouched and lay quiet like rabbits.Along the aides of the rocky bills,where the peona had their

bouses, mothers came anxiouslyto open doors; and as they Joggedalong up the river the Chlneae gardeners, working in each separate nookand eddy of the storm-washe- d creek-bed- ,

stopped grubbing to gaze at t
