CHAPTER X. _ v TO an American? accustomed to get tlngathlngs dono first and talking about lt'afterward, there ls nothing so subtly irritating as the old-world formalism, tho pohte evasiveness of the Mexi cans- and yet, at times, they caa speak to tho point with tho-best of na. For sixty days Don Cipriano Aragon had silled and smiled and*-then, sud denly, as the last day of their mining permit passed by and there waa no record of a denouncement by. Crus Mendez, he appeared at the Eagle Tall mino with a pistol In his belt and a triumphant sneer on his lips. B?hl nd htm rode four Mexicans, fully armed, and they made no reply to Do Lancey's polite ""Buenos, dian!" "Take your poor things." burst out Aragon, pointing contemptuously at their tent and beds, "and your low, pelado Mexican-and go! This mine no longer stands in the name of Cruz Mendez, and I want lt for myself! Nr not a word!" he cried, as De Lan coy opened bis mouth to explain. "Noth ing! Only go!" "?o, senor," said Hooker, dropping hts-band to his six-shooter which hung lbw "by his leg and stepping forward, "we will not go!" "What?" stormed Aragon, "you-" "Bo careful there!" warned Bud, suddenly Axing his eyes on one of tho foui- retainers. "If you touch that gun PU kilbyou!". There was a pause, in which th? Mexicans sat frozen? to their s add lea, abd then De Lancey broke the silence. "You mb st not think. Senor Ara* gan," he began, speaking with: a cer tain bitterness, "that yon- can carry your point like this. My friend here Is ayPt-x?n* and If your, men stir ho. will kni them. But there in a law in thia j c-vstitry for every mas-waar lt* lt tttat yb?* want?" . "I want this mining claim." shouted A rn go: v. "that you h a va BO??unjustly' tu ken from me through that scoundrel! Mendez! And I want you to step aside, nc that I caa set up my monu ments and take possession of lt" "The Senor Aragon has not been to tho agente mineral today," suggested Da Lancey suavely. "If he had taken the trouble he would not-" - "Enough!" cried Aragon, still trying to carry it off cavalierly;-"! sent my ' servant to tho mini hg agent yee te f day and be reported that the permit had lapsed." ? "If he had taken'the pains to in quire fer new permits, however," re turned De Lancey, "he would have found that one has been issued to ino; I am now a Mexican citizen, like your self." "You!" screamed Aragon, bis eyes bulging with astonishment; and then, finding himself tricked, ho turned sud denly ..upon- one of-his retainers' and strfck>k:bf 'whb hfrf -whtpr "Son of a goat!" he stormed. "Pig! Is thhr the way you obey my orders?" Bvlt'Uibifgft he raved* and scolded; ho had -Koneft?b- far, and there waa no' putting tfie b?f?bio ou his servant. : In his d?sire/to humiliate the h?f^d'arlri t. ? --foV somebody elB?. " Wo shall re main here and hold our property." "Hal You Americans!" exclaimed Aragon, as he chewed bitterly on his defeat. "You will rob us of every thing-even our government. So you are a Mexican citizen, ch? You must value this barron min? very highly, to glve*up the protection of your govern ment Sut perhaps you are acquainted with * a man named Kruger?" he sneered. "He would sell his honor any time to defraud a Mexican of bia rights, and I doubt not Lt was he who sent iou here. Yes, I have known it from the flrst^-but i will foolb?m yeti "Sci you ore a 'Mexicancitikc-n, Senor DI/LanefcyT Dieu, then ydn shall pay the full- price ofr-yourrcitieenship. Be fore Our law you are'now no more than' that pdorp?l?do. Mendea. You cannot appeal now to your consul at Gads den-you are only a Mexican! Very well!" He shrugged his shoulders and Bmlled significantly; "No," retorted Uo Luncey angrily; "you ure right-I cannot appeal to my government! But let me tell you some, thing, Senor Moxicnnol An American, needs no governnn nt to protect bim be haar-his gun,'-and-that'is enough!" "Yes,' added-Bud,*-who had'caught the drift of tho'last, "nod ho has his friends, too; don't forget that!" Ile strode over toward Aragon and men aced him with, a threatening'finger. "If anything- happens to my friend," he hiBsed, "you will have me to whip! Aud now, senor/' he added, speaking in tho idiom of tho country, "go with God-and do nut borne hack!!' 'Tah!" spat', bu ck Aragon,- his hate for the pushing'forelgnoi- showing in every glance;-"i W?1 beat I you yet! And I pray God tho revoltosos come this way, lt they tak? the full half ot my cattle-so long al they ' get you tw?l" "Very well,"-nodded1 Bud BB dragon and his men'-turned! away, "but be careful you do not sendoany!" "Good!" he continued,-emillng grim ly at the pallid;Phil; "now we got him where we want him-^out^in the open. And I'll just remember them four pai sanos he bad with him-they're his handy men, the boys with nerve-and don't never let one of 'em catch you out after dark.*' De-Lancey sat down on a ock and wiped his face. "Heavens,* Bud,-* be -groaned, "I never would have believed it of him I *!.?>nght- he was cu the^qddrei - But it just goes to prove:tba old-saying every "Mexican has got a streak of yel low in him' somewhere, ?j All you've' got to de.Unto trust, him-long enough and you'll find lt out.

'I'll go you!" agreed Phil with en thusiasm, and hair an hour later, each on his favorite'horse, they were clat tering down the canyon.. At the turn of the tran, where lt swung Into the Aragon lane, Bud took down his rope and smiled In anticipation. "You* goon' ahead," he aal d ,?- ahak 1 n g - o?t'hlil loop, "and I'll try to put the catgut on Brindle." "OW ?iSe.- a \ fiflJEF* answered . D?

Only thing IK, I wouldn't like the old man for a father-in-law the way mat tera stand between UB now." He laughed boisterously at this wit ticism, and tito little | Mexican chil dren, . playing- among' the willows,-' crouched and lay quiet like rabbits. Along the sides of the rocky hills,: where the peona had their mud-and rock houses, mothers carno anxiously to- open doors; * and' na they?: Jogged along up-the'river the chinese-gar deners, working in each separate nook and reddy of ethe storm-washed creek bod, stopped grubbing-to gaze at them Inquiringly. '"Wonder what's the matter with them chinks?" observed Bud, when his happiness had ceased to effervesce; "they Blt . up like a village of prairie dogs! Whole country seems to bo on the rubber neck. Must be something doing." "That's right,"agreed Phil; "did you notice how those peons scattered when I rode down the street? Maybe, there's been some insurrectos through. But say-listen!" Ho stopped his horse, and in the silence a bugle-call came down the wind from the direction of Fortuna. "Soldiers!" fae-said. "Now where did they come from? I was In Fortuna day before yesterday, and-well, look at that!" From the point of the hill just ahead of them a lino ot soldiers came into view, marching' two abreast, with a morn ted ofhcor In the lead. "-..La!" exclaimed Bud with convic tion; "they've started something down below. This is that bunch of federals that wo saw drilling up at Agna No gra." "Yep," admitted De Lancey regret fully; "I guess you're right for once-t the open season for rebels has begun." They drew out of the road and let them pass-a long, double line ol shabby infantrymen, still wearing their last year's straw hats and summer uni forms and trudging along In flapping sandals. In front were two men bearing lan tornn, ;toi search out the way by night; slatternly women, the inevitable camp followers,* trotted along at the Bidet with their bundles and babies; and at tho little.brown men from -Zac ateca a each burdened with hla heavy gun and h job lot or belts'and packs, shuffled bat! cht 1 y past the Arn erica n . they fl ashed the wertes of their eyes anti rumbled a chorus'of "Adios!"

That evening tito plaza was filled with the wlldcBt rumors, and-another train arrived during-' the"night, but through it nil Btid and Phil remained unimpressed. In the morning the sol diere went marching off down tho-trail, leaving a great silence whero ail had been bugle-calls and excitement, and then the first fugitive came in from down below. He wai an old Mexican, with teem1' bling beard and staring eyes, and ho told a talo of outrage that made their blood run cold. Th? red-naggers had come to his house at night j they had killed J his wife and1 son. loft him upon the ground fag dead, and carried off his daughter, a 'prisoner. But later, when tho comisario quen i tioned him sharply, it developed that h ho lived not'far away, had no daugh ter to lose, and was, in fact, only a : crazed old man who told for truth that which ho feared'would happen. .Notwithstanding the denouement, I hld- Htory ?stirred tho Mexican popula tion to the depths, and when Bud and : Phil tried to hire men to push tho work on the'mine, they realized that their tronbdes lind begun. Not only was lt impossible to engage laborers at any price, but on the following day Cruz Mendez, with his wife and chil dren and all his oarthly possessions ort'his burros,^ came hurrying In from the camp and told them ho could serve them no moro. "It 1B my woman!" be explained; "my Marla! Ab, if those revoltosos should soe Maria they would steal ber before my eyes I'' So> be wan given- his poy and tho fifty dollars he bad earned and, altar tho customary "Muchas graci?e," and with the faithful Maria by his side, bc went, hurrying-off to tho store. And now in crowded - vehicles, with armed men riding in front and behind, the refugees from Moctezuma and the hot'country-bogan to pour Into town, adding by their very baste to the panto of nil who saw thank ?
