After the promenade in the plaza
the mothers by; common consent pre
empted the ? upstairs reception-room,
gathering,.their -precious charges in
close; while the Americans, after their
custom, foregathered in the lobby,,
convenient to the bar. Hot . argti

scornful glances at the Mexican dan
dles' who went BO Insolently up the

tired't^ tlielr-'?partmenta and tho Bpirlt
of adventure, roso uppermost, Phil Da
Lancey made a dash out lb to the
darkness and came back with a Mexi
can ' Btring. band.
"A serenade, boyal" he announced,
as the musicians bled sheepishly into
the hotel. ''Ont* guests, tho fair seno

young Mexican dudes look-like two

They adjourned then, after a drink
for courage, to tho moonlight and the
plaza; and there, beneath the shut
tered windows a?d vacant balconies,
tho guitars and violins took up "Ljf
Paloma," while Phil and a few brave
eplrits sang.
A silence followed .their first at
tempt, as well as their second and
third, and the comisarlo of police, a
mild creature owned, nnd paid by tho
company, came around and made a
few ineffectual protests...
But inside the company's conces-.

the two windows behjnd which , the

Several minutes 'later the form of

"Tiie gentleman refuses to do that!"
responded Don I briefly.
"Then let him go to bed!" replied
De Lancey, strumming a few synco

At that Don Juan came down off the
porch in his slippe/s and they engaged
in a protracted argument.

"Enough, Don Juan!" he cried, lay
ing down-the guitar with a thump:
"this ^ends our evening's entertain
ment!?' ,
After paying and thanking the.stolid
musicians - P2p> ju!neu ima and tho
pair adjourned*to their room, where,
in tho intervals of undressing, Phil
favored the occupants ot the adjoining
apartments with an aria from' "Beau

But for all such nights of romance
and music, there ls always a morning,
afterward; and a fine~tenor voice set
io ragtime.nev?r helped much in the
development of a mine. Though Bud
had remained loyally by his friend-. In
his evening serenade he, for one, never
forgot i for a moment that they- were
in Fortuna to work the Eagle-Tail
and not to win the hearts, of Spanishr
Mexican senoritas, no matter how at
tractive1 they might bo.
BUd'was'Wliy?ct?chl man who, if he
ever made lov?, would doubtless do
lt in. a perfectly businesslike way,
without- Iilrl^^any 'strttg bauds. But
at tc?fi ^Satan? itlroe ho waa willing to
make some concessions.
"Weil, go anea/, and set vr-ir.Ri?An
then," he growled, after trying three
times In the morning to get bls-pard-.
nor up; "I'm.going out to the mine!"
Thv;n, with a saddle-gun under hir
knee and his six-shooter hung at bis.
hip; he rode rapidly down the road?
turning out from time to time to let
long cavalcades of mule* string by.
The dead-eyed arrieros, each wi th. h la
combined mule-blind and fj whiplash
swinging free, seemed to have very
little . on their minda -but their pack*
lashings; tend yet'-they--must be three
days out from Moctezuma.
Their mulee, too, were well loaded
with tho products of the hot country
-ra ri egos of corn In red leather sacks,
oranges and fruits in hand-mad*
crates, panocheB of sugar in balanced '
frames, long joints of sugarcane for'
the dulce pediere, and .nothing to indi-1

Three times he let long pack-trains
go by v&tkout a word, and then at last.

"W? at , revoltosos ?" queried : the old

"Why, tho men of Bernardo Bjavo,"

"When I left Moctezuma," returned
the. old pian, politely,- "all wes. quiet

"But tbacol d le ra ! ft?. cried -. Bud-< j
"Surely you saw them t They were

"Perhaps so," shrugged Ute arriero*
laying the lash of his topojo ucroas
the ru mp'of a mule: "but I know notb

"No," muttered Bade aa he continued
on his way; "and I'll bet nobody'ebie

nardo Bravo and bis lawless men was
twenty miserable creatures, half
starved, but with guns in their hands,
who had come down out or the moun
tains east of Moctezuma and killed a
few cowa for beet.
Thoroughly disgusted, and yet
yaguej y alarmed at. this bit ot opexa
bouffe warfare, Bud sot himself reso
lutely to work to hunt up men for
their mine, and, as many poor people
were out of employment because ot
the general stagnation of business, he
soon bad ton Mexicans at his call.
Then, as Phil bad dropsied out ot
sight, be ordered supplies at the store
and engaged Cruz Kjndez-who had
Spent his fortune in three days-to
pack the goods out on his mules.
They were ready to stcrt the next
morning if De Lancey could be found
to order the powder bnd tools, and as
the afternoon. wore on and no Phil
appeared,..Bud went on a loug hunt
which Anally discovered him in tho
balcony ot their, window, making signs
In the language of the "bear," as a
man who flirts with a woman In Mex
ico IB called.
"Say, Phil," he hailed, disregarding
his parduor's obvious preoccupation;
"break away for a minute and tell me
what kind of powder to get to break
that schist-the Btore closes at five
o'clock, and-"
He thrust his bead out tho door as
he spoke and paused, abashed.
Through the half-closed portal of tho
next balcony but one he beheld the
golden hair of Gracia Aragon, and she
fixed her .brown eyes upon him with
a dazzling, mischievous smile.
"O ho!" murmured Bud, laying a com
pelling hand on De Lancey and back
ing swiftly out of range; "so this is
what you're up to-talking signs! But
say. Phil," he continued, beokoning
him peremptorily with a Jerk of bis
head, "I got ten raen hired and a lot
of grub bought, and If you don't pick
? '?..that mining stuff we're going to
day. So get the Indy to excuse
yon " ::ao on now."
'-In a minute," pleaded Phil, and he
went at the end of his allotted time,
and perhaps it was the Imp of jealousy
that put strength Into Hooker's ann.
"Well, that's all right," said Bud, as
Phil began his laughing excuses; "but
you. want to remember the Maine,
pardner-we didn't come down here to
play the bear. When they's any love
making to be done I want to be In
on lt. And you want to remember.that
promise you made me-you Bald you
wouldn't have a thing to do with the
Aragon outfit unless 1 WBB with you!".
"Why, you aren't-you aren't jeal
??O, are you, Bud?"
"Tea, I'm Jealous!' answered Hooker
harshly; "Jedloue as the devil!.- And
I want you to keep that promise, seo?"
I "?W? Bud-" began De Lan coy in
credulously; but Hooker silenced him
with a look. Perhaps he was really
Jealous,.or perhaps he only ?aid so to
have his way, but Phil saw that he
vas ia earnes?, and be went quietly
by his. Bide.- '
But love had set bis . brain in a
whirl, and he thought no more of bis
promise-only of some subtler way of
meeting hlB inamorata, some way
which TJud would fall to see.

writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's

Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill mc. 1 was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
I wish every suffering woman would give
