CHAPTER XXI.
On tho morning after they had
laugliod at tho coinic paper and decld
ed that all the world wan fair, Hooker
and Amigo were squatting by the lire
end eating a man's-size breakfast.
The creek, swollen by yesterday's
torrential rain, had settled to a rivu-
llet. The wind had not risen and tho
■an was Just over the hill when, with
n rush and a scramble, Amlgo threw
idown bis cup and was off In a llosh for

lall armed with rilles, and they cast
[envious eyeB at Copper Bottom as they
[halted before the camp. As for Bud
Ihe saluted gravely, for he knew them
llor what they were.
These were the lost forces of Ber-
nardo Bravo and Salazar, Rojas and
Hho other bandit chiefs, and they
smarched. as he well knew, upon For
tuna. They marched quietly, and the
great whistle had not blown.
It would make a rich prize, Fortuna,
Uf thoy could take it by surprise! The
ransom for the Spanish haolendados
alone would amount to thousands of
■dollars, and the mine-owners could
afford to pay anything in order to save
their works.
A box of dynamite under the giant
concentrator and the money would be
iprcduced at once, and yet the scoun
rirels halted at a one-man camp to
■teal a single horse.
A flicker of scorn passed over Hook
er"s face as the leader came dashing
■up, but the Texan greeted him with a
■low smile.
"Buenos dlae, general!" he said;
-you have many men."
"Knough!" observed the "general"
fcurriedly, "but some in the rear are
on foot As I suppose you are in sym-
pathy with our great cause, I will ask
you for that horse. Of course, 1 will
give you a receipt"
Ho fetched out a blank-book as he
epoke and motioned to a ragged beg-
gar at his heels. Bud checked the
nnan's ruBh with a look.
"One moment!" he said, and as the
■oldier turned back bis general glanced
up sharply.
"Only this, Senor General," an-
swered Bud. "You are welcome to
anything I have—food, blanketB, mon-
ey—but I cannot give you that horse."
"But. senor!" protested the general,
regarding him with arrogant pig eyes
that glinted wickedly, "this poor sol-
dier's feet are sore. Surely you would
not make him walk. Only name your
price and I will give you a receipt for
him, but my man must have the
horse."
There was a pause and men began
to dismount and move in closer. At
a word from their commander any
one of them would draw and kill him,
as Hooker very well knew, but his
love for Copper Bottom made him ob-
durate.
who had proclaimed themselves Amer-
icans to the insurrectos—boastfully
done, it was said to be the quickest
way there was of drawing a Mexican
bullet. But to be a Texan was differ-
ent—somehow the very name suggest-
ed trouble to their minds and an Ala-
mo tight to the death. Hooker Baw
that he had made an impression, and
he was not slow to follow It up.
"If you need a horse," he said to
the general, "let your man go up that
arroyo and he will find one hobbled on
the flat. Then give me your receipt
for two hundred dollars gold and 1
will contribute a Baddle."
It was a reasonable concession, un-
der the circumstances, and, best of all.
It saved the general's face. The hid-
eous frown with which he bad regard-
ed the American changed suddenly to
a look of pompous pride. He Jerked
an imperious head at his ragged re-
tainer and drew forth his receipt-book
with a nourish.
While he waited for the horse to ap-
pear he turned upon his snoopiug men
and drove them to their mounts with
curses. Evidently It was no sinecure
to command in the army of the liber-
ation, and the veiled muttertngs of
bis followers showed that they were
little better than tigers in leash.
Mounted upon horses, mules, and
even burros; armed with every con-
ceivable weapon from a musket to
standard repeating riflee, they were a
tatterdemalion army, more fit for
"treason, stratagems and spoils" than
the sterner duties of war.
Bud looked them over closely, well
satisfied to have hts back against a
wall, and when the low-browed re-
tainer came hurrying back with the
horse he quickly took the worthless
receipt and watched them on their
way. Then, as the last camp-follower
disappeared, he ran for his saddle and
rifle and within a minute he was
mounted and away.
There were rebels below him—very
likely there were more to come—the
only safe place for Copper Bottom
was over the hills at Fortuna. With-
out stopping for path or trail, he head-
ed straight northwest over the ridges,
riding as the cowboys do when they
rake the range for cattle. Hardly hnd
he topped the first high crest when
he came in sight of Amigo, loaded
down with his cartridge-belts and car-
rying his heavy Mauser.
In a long, shambling trot the Yaqul
was drifting along the hillside with
the free grace of a wild creature, and
when Hooker pulled down his horse
to keep pace with him he laughed and
motioned him on. Taking the lead, he
loped on over hogback and barranca,
picking out the best trail by Instinct
and setting such a pace that Bud was
hard pressed to keep up with him.
He had heard it said that in the
Yaqul country no white man, no mat-
ter how well he was mounted, could
he spurred and. finally, when the
shower of stray bullets had passed,
she led on around the house.
"Won't you help me take my horse
inside the walls?" she asked. Bud
followed after her, circling the fortress
whose blank adobe walls gave shelter
to the screaming women, and she
smiled upon him with the most en-
gaging confidence.
"I know you will have to go soon,"
she said, "and I suppose I've got to be
shut In with those creatures, but we
must be sure to save our horses. Some
bullets might hit them, you know, and
then we could not run away!
"You remember your promise!" she
reminded, as Bud gazed at her in as-
tonishment. "Ah, yes, 1 knew you did
some purpose—he even had a sneak-
ing idea that it was to take pot shots
at Captain del Rey—but six months In
Mexico had made him careless, and he
half hoped the Yaqul would win.
The captain had it coming to him
for his brutality, but with Aragon It
was different—Aragon had a wife and
daughter—and, with the memory of
Oracla In his mind, Bud sent his horse
plunging down the ridge to warn them
before it was too late.
There were some brush fences to be
jumped, but Copper Bottom took them
flying, and as they cut Into the river
trail he made the mud-puddles splash.
Across the fieldB to the south Bud
could see the peons running for cover
—the insurrectos must be in sight be-
yond the hlllB.
He was going south, they were mov-
ing west, but it was five miles north
again to the town. Speed was what
was needed and Copper Bottom gave
his best They dashed into Fortuna
ifke a whirlwind, and Hooker raised
his voice In a high yell.
"Insurrectos!" he shouted. "Ladro-
nes! Pronto a Fortuna!"
There was a rush, a moment's si-
lence, and then heads appeared from
every window and women ran scream-
ing with the news. Aragon came rush- '
ing from the store and confronted him i
angrily; then, reading conviction in [
his tones, he called for horBes and ran
frantically Into the house.
A shrill Bcreech camo from the hill- f
side, where a serving-woman had i ■.
scampered to view the valley, and, as
she pointed her Unger and screamed,
mothers laid hold of their little ones
and started up the valley on foot.
Still the men ran about in the horso-
pen and Aragon adjured hts women-
folk In the house. Burning with im-
patience, Bud spurred his way to the
corral where they were fumbling with
reata and rigging and dropped a rope
on the first horse he saw. Theu he
snatched a side-saddle from a trem-
bling peon and slapped it on the
brute's back. Grabbing up the bridle.
he led the horse back to the house and Women and children Took Sheltur j Jt,e canyon In the direction of Old For-

of him.
He passed through the house, ho-
ping to discover where she had gone,
but all ho heard was her commanding
voice as she silenced the wailing wom-
en. and, feeling somehow very much
out of place, he stepped forth Into the
open.
After all, for a man of his build, the
open was best. Let the white-handed
boys stay w ith the ladles—they under*
stood their ways.
CHAPTER XXII.
The superintendent's house stood on
a low bench above the town, looking
out over all the valley, but protected
by a high hill behind, upon the summit
of which was placed a mammoth black
water tank.
In its architecture the casa grande
was an exact replica of a hot-country
hacienda, a flat-roofed, one-storied
square of adobe bricks, whitewashed
to keep off the sun and presenting on
three sides nothing but dense trees
planted near for shade. Along the
front was a long arcade, the corredor,
graced by a series of massive arches
which let In the light and air. Inside
were low chambers and long passages;
and, behind, the patio and garden of
orange and fig trees.
Built for a sumptuous dwelling, it
became in a moment a fort and, with
men on the high hill by the tank, it
was practically impregnable to direct
assault.
As Hooker stepped out on to the cov-
ered porch with his saddle-gun in his
hand he became simply one more of a
band of excited Americans, all armed
and ready to defend the house to the
last. Some were pacing back and forth
in the corredor, others were hurrying
up from the Mexican quarters with a
last belated handful of women, but the
I major portion were out on the open
i bench, either gazing north and south
at the scenes of the distant firing or
engaging in a curio-mad scramble for
any spent bullet that struck.
The fighting, such as there was, was
mostly up the canyon, where a large
party of Sonoran miners had rushed in
j pursuit of the rebels. The tiring down

His chest was crushed. He was op-

A party of rebels had penetrated
clear into the town, but it was appar-
ently more by accident than intention,
and they had been quick to beat a re-
treat. As for the main command of
the insurrectos, they were reported at

Kud knew the fate of several men
worse than wasted if the red-flaggers
took him prisoner. As Bud breathed
his horse he hesitated whether to ride
back and warn him or press on and
notify Fortuna; but even for that
brief spell the Yaqul could not wait.
"Adios," he said, coming close and
holding out his black hand; "I go this
way!" And ho pointed along the ridge.
"But why?" Baid Bud, still at a loss
to account for his haste. Then, seeing
the reticence in the Indian's eyes, he
thrust out his hand in return.
"Adios, Amlgo mio!" he replied, and
both sides, the whole cavalcade swept
into the plaza while the town of For-
tuna went mad.
Already the great whistle was blow-
ing hoarsely, its deep reverberations
making the air tremble as if with fear.
Americans were running back and
forth, distributing arms and rushing
their women to cover; Don Juan, his
chin quivering with excitement, was
Imploring all comers to be calm; and
the Aragons, coming flying up to the
door, added the last touch to the panic.
They with their eyes had seen the
rebels; they were riding in from the-
south! Other men, equally excited,
awore they were coming from the
north, and a disorderly body of So-
nora miners, armed as if by magic
with guns which had long lain hidden,
banked themselves about the store and
office and clamored for more and more
cartridges. Then a rip of gun-fire
echoed from across the canyon, and
the miners made a rush to the attack.
The whistle, which had obscured all
sound as a cloud obscures the light,
stopped suddenly in its roar, and the
crowd at the hotel became calm. The
superintendent, a wiry, gray-haired
little man, with decision in every
movement, came running from his
fort-like house on the hill and ordered
all the women to take shelter there
and take their children with them.
So, while the rifles rattled and stray
bullets began to knock mud from the
walls, they went straggling up the hill,
rich and poor, patrician and peon,
while the air was rent by the wails
of the half-Indian Mexican women,
who held themselves as good as cap-
tured by the revoltosos, concerning
whose scruples they entertained no
Illusions.
The women of the aristocracy bore
themselves with more reserve, as be-
fitting their birth and station, and the
Americans who gathered about them
with their protecting rifles pretended
that all would be well; but in the
minds of every one was that same
terror which found expression in the
peon wail and, while scattered rebels
and newly armed miners exchanged
volleys on both sides of the town, the
non-combatant Americans Sought out
every woman and rushed her up to tho
big house. There, if worst came to
worst, they could make a last stand,
or save them by a ransom.
So, from the old woman who kept
the candy stand In the plaza to the
wives of the miners and the cherished
womenfolk of the landowners, they
were all crowded in6ide the broad halls
pf the big house; and seventy odd
Americans, armed with company rifles,
paced nervously along the broad veran-
das or punched loopholes in the adobe
walls that Inclosed the summer garden
behind.
Along with the rest went Hooker
EUGENIE VISITS FORMER HOME
Former French Empress at Fontaine-
bieau Recalls the Scenes of Her
Former Triumphs.
Paris.—Among the many memories
enshrined in the Chateau of Fountaine-
bleau, the historic home of so many
French sovereigns near Paris, none
can be found more moving than the
simple story of the visit lately paid
to the palace by the Empress Eugenie.
Acconpauied by one of her nieces and
two members of her suite, the em-
press was conducted over the apart-
ments of the palace, every one of
which, even to the foreigner, forms a
chapter In the history of France and
of her kings. For the empress each
step taken conjured up visions of a
past in which Bhe herself played the
leading part.
As she looked round the famous
apartments of Louis XIII, she ex-
claimed in a voice broken with emo-
tion, "There is my casket," and point-
ed to a casket which, as the curator
reminded her, is said to have be-
longed to Anne of Austria. The em-
press assented, but explained that Na-
poleon III had given it to her as a
wedding present, filled with gloves and
l'ans.
In the Salle des Gardes the empress
recognized the dining room for inti-
mate occasions. The view from Mme.
de Malntenon's apartments out upon
the gardens laid out by Le Notre next
caught the empress' eye, and, with a
wistful look, she said: "How beautiful
they are."

"No!" cried Gracia, her dark eyes
turning misty with Imminent tears.
"Oh, - Mr. Hooker!" she burst out,
"didn't I keep them all waiting while I
put on this riding-skirt? I thought you
had come to take me away! What do
1 care to be safe? I want to be free!
I want to run away—and go across the
line to dear Phil!" she faltered. Then
she looked up at him sharply and her
voice took on an accusing tone.
Aha!" she said, as if making some
of defenders pressing on up the nar-
row canyon, rode back and informed
the tricky Bernardo Bravo. He would
be a poor general indeed who could
not see the opening that was offered
and, while the valiant Sonorans pur-
sued the rebel cavalry up the pass,
Bernardo Bravo sent the half of his
thousand men to cut oft their retreat
from behind.
Along the broad top of tho moun-
tain above they came scampering by
tens and twenties, closing in with a
vastly superior force upon the now
defenseless town. In the depths of the
canyon below the miners were still
ohasing the elusive cavalry, their fir-

"That's what you would be," put in
Bud, with brutal directness, "if these
rebels got hold of you. No, ma'am, I
wouldn't take you out of this town for
a hundred thousand dollars. You don't

He ducked suddenly as a bullet went
spang against the corrugated iron roof
above them and, seizing her by the
hand, he half dragged her through a
side door and into the summer garden.
Here a sudden outcry of women's
voices asBailed their ears like a rush
of wind and they beheld peon mothers
running to and fro with their scream-
ing children clasped to their breasts or
dragging at their skirts. A few help-
less men were trying to keep them
quiet, but as the bullets began to thud
against the adobe walls the garden be-
came a bedlam.
Gracia stood and surveyed the scene
for a moment, ignoring the hulking
Bud with disdainful eyes.

turned away. Emerging from the pal-
ace the little party wended its way to
the edge of the pond, and the empress
sat down, "not because I am tired, but
because I want to remember."
Eugenie's visit lasted three hours.
At the end of it she walked to hei
car, past little groups of women and
children who had been attracted to
the palace by the rumor of her pres-
ence. For the children she had an
almost affectionate greeting, and there
were tears in her eyes as she drove
away.
