Chapter XIV.—Continued.
"You go in a carriage, of course?"
nsks Dick, in a matter-of-fact voice
strangely at variance with the tumult
raging inside.
"Certainly; I have spoken to the
driver."
"Who may he be?" carelessly.
"That man over yonder; the one
with the rather respectable figure and
dress. He has a good vehicle."
Dick gives the fellow a keen glance.
"Humph! I guess he will do," he
mutters, as though his thoughts are
far away.
"What time are you to leave?" he
asks, again.
"At eight."
"It is seven now—an hour hence—
plenty of time, plenty of it. Miss
Pauline, have you any objection to
telling me where this house you are
about to visit may be situated? You
see, if you are heard of no more, we
would like to have a clew to work
upon."
She is amused at his tone, and
laughs, though Dora looks a little
alarmed.
"What's that? not heard from
again? I hope Miss Pauline doesn't
mean to run any unnecessary risks. I
really feel too well satisfied with life,
as I find it, to hanker after another
Dr. Glrard's select establishment,"
Dora speaks up.
"Don't be alarmed, my dear. I hope
we will not get into any such trouble.
As to the address, let me see—it is
somewhere on the bank of the La
Viga Canal, near the beautiful ha-
cienda of Don Juan Corona, the re-
tired bull-fighter, who has made such
a paradise of his home. I believe I
wrote it on a slip of paper to tell the
driver, and found he already knew the
©irNEWYCRK
cayssecix^ikj i? szietcszzbi
dress, and you can bet your boots Bob
Harlan will be on deck when the sig-
nal Is given."
So Dick takes out the piece of
paper and reads off the address which
Pauline marked thereon. While so
doing his eyes note some writing on
the other side. He bends down and
reads:
"I may be able to put you on the
track of some one who owns certain
shares of stock in your mine. At any
rate, do come, and we will have music
in plenty. Bring Dora—I remember
her well—such a vivacious creature.
"Your friend,
ISA MORALES."
When Dick has read this he
crumples the note in his hand and
quite surprises his comrade with his
savage manner.
"Now I know there is some treach-
ery afoot, and I'll checkmate it, as
sure as I live. Take another squint at
that man, Bob, and then make me
look as much like him as you can, for
I'm in this game for keeps—it's dia-
mond cut diamond now!" he says.
CHAPTER XV.
The Hacienda on the La Viga Canal.
With some men to conceive an idea
is to carry it into execution—such is
the nature of Dick Denver. He hur-
ries up to their room in the best of
Mexican hotels, and Inside of fifteen
minutes has effected radical changes
both In his personal appearance and
dress, so that with the assistance of
the driver's hat and coat he can
readily be taken for the man himself.
Meanwhile he and Bob have come
to a good understanding regarding
things—the latter Individual, well
armed, and carrying wrapped around
his person the very rope that Dick
brought to the hotel, the lasso with
which he was thrown, intends to
hover around the Morales place, and
take advantage of any opportunity
that may. come to effect an entrance.

place well. Ah! there you have it,
Senor Dick," and she hands him a
piece of paper.
! "Goodnight, gentlemeiy do not
worry about us. We will return be-
fore midnight. Possibly Senor Morales
may see us hr.ne—he is a diplomat,
hieh up in the confidence of President
Diaz," with which Miss Pauline
vanishes Inside the hotel. Dora only
lingers to say a few parting words to
her Bob, and then she, too, flits up the
stairway.
Left alone, the two gentlemen of
course proceed to light cigars as con-
Bolation.
"I reckon we're left this time,
Tick," remarks Bob, moodily, for the
prospect of music just beyond his
reach makes Jilm Irritable.
"You may be, but I don't Intend that
It shall fit my case," returns the other,
coolly, while Bob removes his cigar
and stares at his comrade blankly.
"Now what does he mean?" says
the Sheriff of Secora county. "Why
ehould it apply to me and not to Dick
Denver?"
The other does not answer save by
another question. He Is evidently
driving at something, and probably
knows what he Is about, which Is
more than Colonel Bob does.
"Cast your eyes over yonder—notice
that fellow lounging there—what d'ye
think of him, Bob?"
"Bless my soul! that's the driver of
the vehicle Miss Westerly has en-
gaged."
"Exactly—that Is, he Is the one who
was to drive it. He has been suc-
ceeded."
"Eh! you don't mean, old man, that
you—"
"I am competent to look after the
festive steeds as well as the next man,
since horse-taming was once my occu-
pation," is the cool rejoinder.
"But the fellow may object."
' "Let him. Silver will buy him, body
and soul, I should Judge from his
looks. In most of these houses, you
know, the vehicle gees In through a
large gate or door, to the court, and
you are virtually inside the house. If
harm Is Intended Miss Pauline, some
one will be near to protect her."
"And my charming Dora will call In
Tain upon her Bob to come to her as-
sistance," says the man from New
Mexico, In despair.
"They don't mean her harm. At any
rate, you can hover by, and If there
Is a chance, make your presence felt."
"I will, by the Eternal, I will! Al-
low mo to make a note of the ad-
by climbing over the garden wall.
Once within he will be In a condition
to come to the relief of the others
should his assistance be needed.
It Is now approaching half-past
seven. Dick at once sallies forth to
finish his conquest, nor does he doubt
his ability to win.
The driver of the vehicle must be
made of strange material—for a Mexi-
can—to be able to resist the alluring
influence of jingling reals and pesos,
when offered In temptation.
Dick discovers the vehicle at the
curb, but the man himself Is non est
—only conspicuous by his absence
Struck by an idea, and knowing the
habits of New York cabbies, Dick ad-
vances to the vehicle and discovers
the fellow inside, feeling very com-
fortable, no doubt. His nap Is dis-
turbed by the entrance of the Ameri-
can.
"Hola!" he exclaims, rubbing his
eyes.
Thereupon Dick Denver takes him
In hand and winds the fellow around
his finger in a way that would beat
tha eloquence of a Philadelphia law-
yer. He manipulates the man just as
he pleases; first he excites his fears,
and then plays upon his cupidity. Be-
tween the two he has the fellow com-
pletely at his mercy, and could gain
anything that It might be In the
other's power to grant.
Thus an exchange is made; the
Mexican gives up his hat and coat
and receives In return others that suit
him just as well, besides a handful of
reals, with a Spanish doubloon or two
thrown In, that would about buy his
entire equipage, which, he Is assured,
will be returned to him without harm,
when the night's business Is over.
He then and there beats a masterly
retreat, with more real wealth In his
pockets than he has perhaps known
for many a day. It matters nothing to
such a fellow that he has sold himself
twice in the same day; his conscience
will scarcely trouble htm. nor does he
look far enough into the future to fore-
See any difficulty on account of double
dealing.
Thus Dick is left In possession, and
the first fruits of victory are his. He
bears his honors m6ekly; at the same
time chuckles at the thought that al-
though he has received no invitation
to the Morales house, he will have an
opportunity of seeing what Its Interior
looks like.
There are still nearly twenty min-
utes to wait, and this time Dick puts
In with Berlous thoughts. He scrapes
up his knowledge of the Mexican lan-
guage, and, being a fair Spanish
scholar, feels quite at home. If Miss
Pauline should ask him a question, he
wishes to be able to answer It like
one to the manner born.
Ah! a clock strikes—Is that eight?
He comes out of his vehicle and Is
busily engaged In arranging things
when a call from the door attracts his
attention—It Is a clerk of the hotel In-
quiring If the carriage Is ready, as the
American ladles are watting.
"SI, senor," he replies, cheerily,
whereupon the clerk escorts Miss
Pauline and Dora across the pavement
to the carriage door, meaning to as-
sist them in, but he is unceremoniously
Jostled to one side by the driver, who
does the honors with a grace one
might hardly expect to discover In a
person of such humble life, while the
baffled clerk grates his teeth and re-
tires to his den muttering evil threats
against Carlos, the wretch, who antic-
ipated him in gallantry.
Now the carriage door is closed, the
bogus driver mounts to his box, and
they are off. Whatever may be the
result of the adventure, Dick can at
least congratulate himself that thus
far he has done uobly, and accom-
plished all that was possible.
He knows the way—thanks to pre-
vious visits to the Mexlean capital.
Around can be seen many moving
figures, numerous lights, and the
sound of music is almost as general
as the odor of rare flowers, coming
from over the garden walls In the
night air. Here is the band that dis-
courses to hundreds on the Alameda
—there some entertainment Is in pro-
gress, while anon the voice of a
maiden or the sweet notes of her man-
dolin can be heard as she sits upon
the flat roof or azotea, with ner lover,
It may be, for company.
All this Is very pleasant to ears ac-
customed only to the harsh sounds of
a Northern city after nightfall—the
rumbling of street cars, the rattling of
carriages, the rush of elevated trains
—all are here almost unknown, and
In theiT place come these notes of
music, laughter, song, that speak of a
different life, one of more Indolent
ease.
Dick keeps his course and heads
for the Calle del Apartado, whence he
can readily reach the street upon
which the Morales house Is located.
It is one of the finest houses In the
city and ad' '.ns the wonderful la Viga
Canal, upon which may be seen the
famous floating gardens. Perhaps,
after all, be Is foolish to believe harm
can come to Pauline Westerly under
this roof, but some instinct warns him
to beware, and certain circumstances
point that way. Besides, Dick is one
of those men who believe In the old
adage that "forewarned Is forearmed."
His life has been a roving one, and he
has seen the time more than once
when it paid to be on guard.
Those who ride Inside the carriage
have, of course, no Idea that the
young American drives the horses—
that Is Dick's secret, and he plays his
part to perfection.
They arrive at the Morales house—
there Is a break in the wall—a colored
lamp hanging above shows what ap-
pears to be a gate or great door, at
which Dick must kncck.
Drawing his horses in, he descends
from his perch, and, finding the
knocker, causes an alarm to be
sounded through the place that
would arouse the dead. In less thnn
half a minute he hears voices within
—then the gate swings open.
Dick takes his horses by the head
and leads them through into the
lighted garden. He hears the huge
gate clang behind, and knows they
are shut within the walls. As he fully
expected this. It does not give him
much concern. He Is ready to play
his part In the game; if the ladles are
threatened with no harm, well and
good, he can drive them back to the
hotel, and no one be the wiser for his
little escapade; but should Senor Lo-
pez attempt to spring one of his lit-
tle games, he will find In the Ameri-
can a rock that may dash his craft to
pieces.

Tho politician Is now abroad In the
land. As a rule each one should be
carefully and thoughtfully heard In
his behalf. The filling of the offices
Is thereby of concern to every citizen
who hopes to hand down to posterity
the Institution of government unsul-
lied. Tho most Important considera-
tion in the filling of an office Is the
character of the man who Is elected.
In the very nature of things, all of-
ficials are held up as some sort of ex-
ample to the people. Tho matter of
next import Is the special ability of
the candidate for filling the place.
What Is meant by this is that the can-
didate should give some reason why
he should be elected Instead of other
good men. The filial, and most inSon-
sequental matter is whether the can-
didate needs the office. This latter
consideration should not be over-
looked, but It should be subjective
to the other considerations.
TELEPHONE ASSESSMENS RAISED
Territorial Board Increases Taxes on
the Various Lines
GUTHRIE: The territorial board
of railway assessors has made a slight
raise on telephone assessments over
last year. In its schedule the tele-
phone companies are divided Into six
classes, according to the size and Im-
portance of their lines. Class 1,
which Includes the exchanges in tho
first class cities, Is assessed at $35 per
mile for poles and first wire, and $5
for each additional wire. The assess-
ment for the first wire last year was
about $30. For class 2, Including the
samller towns, the assessment is $30
and $5 for class 3, $25 and $5; for
class 4, $20 and $5; for class 5, $15 and
$5; for class 6, $10 and $5. The last
four classes include the various
elates of rural telephone companies.
Something over 150 telephone com-
panies are operating In the territory.
So far 130 have reported, and the
auditor Is still after the rest.
In the matter of railroad assess-
ments all the larger roads except the
Hock Island are raised on some of
j their lines. The "Katy" Is hit the
| hardest, the assessment on Its main
! line being raised from $3,000 per mile
j to $3,700. The Santa Fe eastern Okla-
| homa line Is raised from $3,100 to
$3,000,
River Makes Free Land
GUTHRIE: By the change In the
course of the Cimarron river, a twenty
acre tract has been created just north
of Guthrie,which Is subject to home-
stead entry. It was laid off last fall
by a government surveyor sent here
for that purpose, and shortly after-
ward an entry was made by a Guthrie
school teacher. Pending a decision
from the general land office on how to
dispose of the land, the entry was
held up. Recently another party,
learning that the land was vacant,
erected a home on It for homestead
purposes and will contest the former
entry.
COT IN THE WRONG CHAIR.
Oklahoma Caller at the Capital Took
the President's Seat at Cabinet
Meeting.
John Abernethy, who was appointed
United states marshal of Oklahoma,
by President Roosevelt, came pretty
near attending a cabinet meeting una-
wares. In telling of his trip, Aber-
nathy Is quoted by the New York
Times as saying:
"A man stepped up and asked me
what I wanted, and I told him to just
tell the president that Abernathy
wanted to see him.
" 'Is this John Abernathy?" asked
another man, and when I said I was,
he took me by the arm and led me
into another room, where around a fine
table were seated a number of fine-
looking men. He told the men present
my name and then he left me stand-
ing there.
"Looking around and seeing only
one vacant chair, I sat In that. Then
the door opened behind me and two
powerful hands slapped me on the
shoulder, and looking up I recognized
President Roosevelt. He grabbed my
hand In his and shook It like a bro-
ther. Then he laughed and said:
" 'John, you're getting up in the
world—occupying the president's chair
at a cabinet meeting.'
"I started to spring out of that chair,
but the president Just pushed me back
Into It and laughed. He then excused
himself to the other mei :'nd took me
to another portion of the White House,
where he Introduced me to Mrs. Rooae-
VOlL"

Charges Against Embry Investigated
i GUTHRIE: Under direction of At-
| torney General Moody, Casslus R.
Peck, assistant United States district
attorney for Oklahoma has completed
the Investigation at Chandler of the
charges brought against John Embry,
nominated for district attorney for
Oklahoma, since the Investigation by
Inspector G. E. Husted, and has for-
warded his report to the attorney gen-
eral. Embry's confirmation will If

this report Is received and submitted

Don't seem to be many Farmers
Union picnics going on right now.
This is a mighty good way to pro-
pagate the good work, and get better

There are many country schools
that opon soon and run through the
summer. Those schools should be
more careful, If possible, than those
that run for longer periods. The
short term given tho children should
have the very best utilization. Don't
let politics or popularity of some one
cut any figure In the selection of a
teacher; consider only the value of
the teacher as an Instructor.
EDUCATE FOR THE FARM.
Twenty acres well tilled will pro-
duce better results than forty acres
half cultivated. A revolution is Im-
pending In the methods of farming In
•this State. Tho Increased returns re-
sulting from the Judicious use of ma-
nures, and from intensive culture,
seem Incredible to those who have
seen only the usual haphazard, slip-
shod way of half-cultivation which
prevails In the Southwest. Agricul-
ture is as much a science as the law
as civil engineering, as medicine or
as commerce. Knowledge of the
chemistry of the soil, the ability to
estimate and deermlne the adapta-
blllty of the soil and climate to par-
ticular products, contributes to suc-
cess, where the want of knowledge of
the elementary principles of scien-
tific agriculture would spell failure.
The miserable old Idea that any
fool can farm successfully, that brain
and brain cultivation Is an unnecces-
sary qualification for the farmer, and
represents Just so much time and tal-
ent wasted—this prevalent error Is

The price of almost every article on

Sudden market fluctuations are In-
separable from the present system •
or lack of system.
Some degree of system must prevail
in the sale o£ farm products. Ware-
houses, elevators and market houses
are steps toward bringing order and
system out of the prevailing Industrial
anarchy and chaos.
Manufacturers set their own prices
when they place their wares on the
market. It is a late innovation for
farmers to do the same—but it must
soon become the custom. Why not?
The District Union at Okarche, O.
T.( has purchased a $30,000 elevator
and are preparing for business right.
Farm produce will be handled also.

acre of the staple crops as does the

duction—this is conclusive testimony;
The brethren of Indiahoma are
doing a great work. With such effi-
cient officers, they just can not help R.

The Farmers' Union is, perhaps,
the greatest forcp today which la
boating down that mischievous falla-

discontent with farm life among
bright, energetic, ambitious youths
and young men.
Just here Tha Mercury-Password de-
sires to reiterate a truth which it haa
been hammering at for Lo, these
many moons, and which the press of
the country, agricultural press and
professors Inclusive, have persistently
and studiously Ignored—and that Is,
that in order to nmko the profession
of farming properly esteemed and re-
spected, the farmers must be enabled
to command profitable prices for hla
products! To attain this—control of
markets and prices, control of tho
frulis of his own labor—tha farrier
must organize, as do oth.ro classes,
and adopt systematic methods of mar-
keting. Practical industrial education
must eventuallu become a feature of
country schools.—Mercury-Password.

There seems to be co salvation on
