I But the Kid was < past twenty, and to have only Mexicans to one's credit at twenty is to blush unseen on the 1 Rio Grande border. 1 It happened In old Justo Valdos', ( gambling house. There was a poker' { game at which sat players who were not all friends, as happens often where 1 men ride In from afar to shoot Folly 1 as she gallops. There was a row over , 1 A small a matter as a pair of queens. ' tuhI when the smoke had cleared away j It was found that the Kid had com- c ? raitted au Indiscretion nnd his ad-! ( versary had been guilty of a blunder, for the unfortunate combatant. Instead of being a greaser, was a high blooded youth from the cow ranches, of about the Kid's own age and possessed of j friends and champions. Ills blunder i In missing the Kid's right ear only a sixteenth of an Inch when he pulled his gun did not lessen the Indiscretion v. of the better marksman. ""A Y^MMKid, noticing equipped with a \ retinue nor bountifully supplied with \ personal admirers nnd sunoorters?on . ' account of a rather umbrageous repu- j \ tat Ion, even for the border?considered t ut not Incompatible with hla Indlaputa- t lile gameness to perform that Judicious t functional act known as "pulling hla c ^ freight." Quickly the avengers gathered and ] sohght him. Three of them overtook c . him within n rod of the station. The i I Kid turned and showed his teeth In I that brl'Ilant but mirthless smile that 1 A f usually preceded his deeds of Insolence c B ( and violence, and his pursuers fell back B ) without making It necessary for him k 1 even to reach for his weapon. Itut in this atTalr the Kid had not ^ Velt th^ grim thirst for encounter that ^ usually Inrged him on to battle. It had ' been a purely chance row. born of the cards anVl certain epithets impossible 11 for a gcVitleman to brook that had passed between the two. The Kid had rather liked the slim, haughty, brown ^ faced yountr chap whom his bullet had ? cut off in rUie first pride of manhood. H And now hie wanted no more blood.

Saddle and spur Y-ere his rocks of safety. \ The man whom lit had shot was a stranger to lilni. ItV the Kid knew I that he was of the Cotalitos outfit from Illdalgo and that th\ punchers from that ranch were niorl relentless an I vengeful than KentuckV feudists when wrong or harm was tn ?? them. So. with the wlkdoni that hits characterized many gre:V fighters, the Kid decided to pile up asyuauy league.1 as possible o? chaparral yind pear he tween himself and the lytullntlon of the Coralitos hunch. \ Near the station was a store, and near the store, scattered uiinong the mesqults and elms, stood tpe saddled horses of the customers. Mi^t of them waited, liJllf asleep, with sagging limbs and drooping heads. llut omp, n long legged roan with a curved neck, snorted and pawed the turf. Ilim the " Kid mounted, gripped with hiy knees and slapped gently with the owner's u ty? own qtiirt. tl If the slaying of the temer'or'ouH n card player hnd cast a cloud over the h Kid's standing as a good and true citi- p sen this last act of his veiled his fig. n ure in the darkest shadows of dispute, h On the Itlo Grande tmrder if you tqke ? a ma -.'s life you sometimes take tra<sh. d hut if you take his horse you take a ? thing the loss of which renders him ? poor, indeed, and which enriches yi?u o not?if you are caught. For the Ki\i H< there was no turning back now. i d With the springing roan under hinn t< he felt little care or uneasiness. After si a five mile gallop he drew in to the i ji plainsman's jogging trot and rode \ northeast ward toward t lie Nueces rlv- Vi er bottoms.

A slim, wiry youth In high heeled l>oot8 came down to the water's edge Ills face was boyish, bnt with a pre A mature severity that hinted at a man's ^ experience. Ills complexion was nat ttrally dark, and the sun and wind of an outdoor life had burned It to a cof fee brown.

"Thlnkln' of buyln' that'ar gulf, budly?" asked the captain, made sarcastic jy his narrow escape from a tobaccoess voyage. "Why, no," said the kid gently, "I reckon not. I never saw It before.

"Much obliged," said the Kid, "but if it wusn't for my corn shucks and the little bng in my I ack pocket I couldn't live o minute." lie took out his "makings" and rolled a cigarette. "They speak* Spanish here," said the consul. "You'll need an Interpreter. If there's anything I can do why, I'd be delighted. If you're buying fruit lands or looking for a concession of any sort you'll want somebody who snows uie ropes to look out for you." "I speak Spanish," said the Kid. "about nine times better than I do English. Everybody spunks It on the range where I come from. And I'm not In the market for nnythlng." "You speak Spnnlsh?" said Thaeker thoughtfully. lie regarded the Kid absorbedly. "You look like a Spaniard, too," he continued. "And you're from Texas. And you can't bo more than twenty or twenty-one. I wonder if you've got any nerve." "You got a deal of some kind to put through?" asked the Texan, with unexpected shrewdness. "Arc you open to a proposition?" said Thaeker. "What's the use fo deny It?" said the Kid. "I got Into a little gun frolic down In Laredo and plugged a white man. Thero wasn't any Mexican handy. And I come down to your parrot and monkey range Just for to smell the morning glories and marlgolds. Now, do you sabe?" Thaeker got up and closed the door. "Let me see your hand," he said. He took the Kid's left hand and examined the back of It closely. "I enn do It," he snld excitedly. "Your flesh Is as hard as wood and as healthy as a baby's. It will heal In a week." "If It's a flst fight you want to back me for," suld the Kid, "don't put your j money up yet. Make It gun work, and I'll keep you company. But no bare-1 handed scrapping like ladles at a tea! party for me." "It's easier than that," said Thaeker. I "Just step here, will you?" Through the window he pointed to a two story white stueeoed house with wide galleries rising amid the deep green tropical foliage on a wooded hill that sloped gently from the sea. "In that house." said Thacker, "a tine old Castillan gentleman and bis wife are yearning to gather you lntc their arms and till your pockets with money. Old Santos Urique lives there. I He owns half the gold mines in the country." "You haven't been eating loco weed have you?" asked the Kid. "Sit down again." said Thacker. "and I'll tell you. Twelve years ago they lost a kid. No. he didn't die. although most of 'eui here do from drinking the surface water. lie was a wild little devil, even if he wnsn't but eight years old. Everybody knows about it. Some Americans who were through here prospecting for gold bad letters to Senor Urique. and the boy was a favorite with them. They filled his head with big stories about the States, and about a month after they left the kid disappeared too. He was supposed to have stowed himself away among the banana bunches on a fruit steamer and gone to New Orleans. He was seen once afterward In Texas, it was thought, but they never heard anything more of him. Old Urique has spent thousands of dollars having him looked for. The madam was broken up worst of all. The khl was her life She wears mourning yet. But they say she believes lie'll eoiue back to her some day and never Rives up hope. On the back of the boy's left hand was tattooed a flying eagle carrying a spear In his claws. That's old Urlque's coat of arms or something that be Inherited In Spain." The Kid raised his left hand slowly and gazed at It curiously. "That's It," said Thacker, reaching behind the official desk for his bottle of smuggled brnndy. "You're not so slow. I can do It. What was I consul at Sandakan for? I never knew till now. In a week I'll have the eagle bird with the frog sticker blended In so you'd think you were bom with It. 1 brought a set of needles nnd Ink Just because I was sure you'd drop In some ; lay, Mr. Dalton." "Oh, h 1," said the Kid. "I thought 1 told you my name?" ' "All right; Kid. then. It won't be that long. IIow does Senorlto Urlque lound for a change?" "I never played son any that I remember of," said the Kid. "If I had my parents to mention they went over he divide about tbc time I gave my ' lrst bleat. What Is the plan of your j oundup?" Thacker leaned back ngalnst the wall md hold his glass up to the light. "We've come now." said he, "to the l piestlon of how far you're willing to ro in n little matter nf the ?ns "I told you why I came down here." mid the Kid simply. "A good answer," said the consul. 'But you won't have to go that far. lore's the scheme. After I get the rademnrk tattooed on your hand I'll intlfy old Urlque.

Tbacker bad set tbe time at a week, but It was two weeks before tbe design that be patiently tuttooed upon tbe Kid's hand was to bis notion. And then Tbacker called a mucbacbo and dispatched this note to the intended victim: 1?1 Senor Don Santos Urlriue, La Casa Blanca: My Dear Sir?I beg permission to Inform you that there is in my house as a temporary guest a young man who arrived In Buenas Tierras from the United States some days ago. Without wishing to excite any hopes that may not be realized, I think there Is a possibility of his being your long absent son. It might ba well for you to call and see him. If he Is, It is my opinion that his intention w\s to return to his home, but upon arriving here his courage failed him from doubts as to how he would be received. Your true servant, THOMPSON THACKER. Half an hour afterward, quick time for Uuenaa Tierras, Senor Urlque's ancient laudau drove to the consul's door, with the barefooted coachman beating and shouting at the teuin of fat, awkward horses. A tall man with a white mustache alighted and assisted to the ground a lady who was dressed and veiled In unrelieved black. The two hastened Inside and were met by Thacker with his best dlplo muuc dow. uy lils (leak stood a slender youug uian with clear cut, sun browned features and smoothly brushed black hair. Senora Urique threw back her heavy veil with a quick gesture. She was past middle age. and her hair was beginning to silver, but her full, proud figure and clear olive skin retained traces of the beauty peculiar to the Basque province. But, once you had seen her eyes and comprehended the great sadness that was revealed In their deep shadows and hopeless expression, you saw that the woman lived ouly In some memory. She bent upon the young man a long look of the most agonized questioning; then her great black eyes turned, and her gaze rested upon his left hand, and then with a sob not loud, but seeming to shake the room, she cried, "IIlJo mlo!" and caught the Llano Kid to he^ heart A month afterward the Kid came to the consulate In response to a message Bent by Thacker. He looked the young Spanish caballero. His clothes were Imported, and the wiles of the Jewelers had not been spent upon him In vain. A more than respectable diamond shone on his finger ns he rolled n shuck cigarette. "What's doing?" asked Thacker. "Nothing much." said the Kid calmly. "1 eat my first Iguana steak today. Thev're them blir llznrda rnti anHn? 1 reckon, though, that frjjoles and aide bacon would do me. about as well. Do you care for iguanas. Thacker?" "No. nor for some other kinds of rep tiles," said Thacker. It was 3 hi the afternoon, and In another hour he would be In his state of beatitude. "It's time you were making good, sonny," he went on. with an ugly look on his reddened face. "You're not play- i Ing up to me square. You've been the prodigal sou for four weeks now, and you could have had veal for every meal on n gold dish If you'd wanted It. Now. Mr. Kid, do you think It's right to lenve me out ao long on a husk diet? What's the trouble?

"Don't you \ forget thut I can upset your apple cart , any day I want to. If old Urlque knew J you were an Impostor, what sort of f things would happen to you?

They're about right now." "What do you mean?" asked Thacker, rattling the bottom of his glass 011 his desk. "The scheme's off." said the Kid. I "And whenever you have the pleasure ' of speaking to me address mp as Don ( Francisco Urique. I'll guarantee I'll answer to It. We'll let Colonel Urique' keep his money. Ills little tin safe is as good as the time locker In the First National bank of Laredo as far as you and me are concerned." 1 "You're going to throw me down, then, are you?" said the consul. "Sure," said the Kid cheerfully. "Throw you down. That's It. And now I'll tell you why. The first night I was up at the colonel's house they Introduced me to a bedroom.

And. now. don't forget that I'm Don Francisco Urlque whenever I you happen to mention my name." "I'll expose you today, you?you dou- j ble dyed traitor." stammered Thacker. The Kid arose and without violence took Thacker by the throat with a hand of steel and shoved him slowly into n corner. Then he drew from unI der his left arm his pearl handled .43 I and poked the cold muzzle of It against the consul's mouth. "I told you why I come here," he said, wlih bis old freezing smile. "If I leave here you'll be the reason. Never forget it. pardner. Now, what is my name?" "Er?Don Francisco Urlque!" gasped Thacker. From outside came a sound of wheels and the shouting of some one I and the shurp thwacks of a wooden j whlpstock upon the backs of fat horses. The Kid put up his gun and walked toward the door. But he turned again and came back to the trembling Thack er and held up his left hand with its back toward the consul. "There's one more reason," he said ( slowly, "why things have got to stand as they are. The fellow I killed in Laredo had one of them same pictures on his left hand." Outside the ancient landau of Don Santos Urlque rattled to the door. The coachman ceased his bellowing. Senora i Urlque, in a voluminous gay gown of white lace and flying ribbons, leaned forward with a huppy look In her great , soft eyes. "Are you within dear son?" oho r>oli.
