PACE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOKD. OREGON. MONDAY, JANUARY 2. 19:1.'. A RAPID-FIRE 8Y.'OPS18: Brother P a I e 11 ant rami to the camp of Mali Rubric, the bandit. Mateo is not th usual bandit; he steals only rot.. those icho ran afford to lose. And Brother Paacual is not the ordinary friar. Jar he hue tome to get Ma teo's aid in recovering the emerald orouyn of Our IjOdy, stolen by the Oovcrnor ram the. church itself. Mateo says alone he can do noth ing, hut that if "El K'ed" ucre vffh him. it might be passible to recover the croun. Chapter Four "EL KEED" "A II. Mateo, In thli 'El Koed' the only man? Tnts gringo you bate?" "Ay, this man I bat la the only one. But I also lore him, and be lovea me, Hal, raseual! Think that I had him under the muzzle ot my gun. That hla life waa like thla, in my hand to crush. Aud there lay .Tonlo, the traitor Pascual, keep !me from apeaking about It. "But I lot them both go free be cause Tonlo lovea me, even while be la wearing another name and speaking another speech. And Mon 'tana I saw was the second man in ,the world. Mubrli, then El Keed. There la no third. "! could not kill him. I left the home. I took hla hand. We apoko .quietly. We were friends. For a little while, as I wont away, my heart waa so full with my friend that I could forget bow I h.id lost Tonln through him." The blood-bay mare was Brother Paacual knew very well that fnmous tale of how the Mon tnna Kid. by means ot a tattooed birthmark, bad Insinuated himself into the Lavery household In the place of the son whom Rubric, to repay the whip-stroke, had stolen twenty years before; but then some stroke ot conscience had driven the Kid south Into Mexico to find the real heir, whom he had seen there In hla wanderings, . He knew bow Montana bad fought to take young "Tonlo" away, and how Rubrls, who had raised the boy to love him and bate the "gringos," bad resisted desperately and then pursued the pair north towards the Rio Grande. Now Tonlo was restored to hla blood and his family; he had been sent oft to Europe to put aome distance botween him and his ter rible foster fathor, Rubrii; and the Montana Kid El Keed in Moxlco remained on the Lavery ranch about to marry tho daughter of the family. RUBRIZ blew his nose with a great snoring sound. "Now I am bolter," he said. "This Montana who stole. Tonlo " began the friar. "Be silent!" shouted Rubrls, with the face of a madman. "(f he were with you, might you not steal back the emeralds, even from Fort Duraya and Goneral Es trada? And It you wont to El Koed. might he not remember bow you onre spared him? Might he not ride with you In spite of the danger?" "He Is lo marry the sister of Tonln. How can 1 make him leave her?" "Mateo, It la not for us to doubt. Let us go north towards the land ot the gringos. Let us cross the river, 'hen we have come to the place. God will surely show us the proper way. He will bring even Montana Into our hands." Rubrii. at this, had stopped his paring. Ills heart began to lift higher and hither. 'Taacual," he said, "who caa tell? IBM EFFORTS ;e PENDLETON. Ore, Jan. 38, (AP) Admiration for the mourcefulnfM and backwoods lore of Oswald Hunt. 74-year-old woodcutter, todny re placed fears which had been held for his safety when a protracted snnw storm raged about his mountain cabin 45 miles from here. Saturday night a state policeman and a government trapper imishlng toward Hunt's cabin with emergency rations found him on home-marte skits mnklng a trek toward civilisa tion to replenish his larder. Laiifililng with great gusto, he as sured the two he was In good health, took the supplies and started back toward hla lonely mountain cabin.

I eel that the thing ehall be. We shall ride together; we shall work to gether; and what w 111 walla of stone be, what will toldlera be, when we two are sl-'e by aide?" "But he Is a gringo and ah, the pity of it!" aald the friar. "Ay," groaned Rubrii, "the pity of it! But only bla akin is American and bis heart la pure Meilcan!" IN the corral the blood-bay mare was being drawn to the snubbing post. And that great rider of out law horaes. Tombstone Joe, waa pulling the ropea. The cowpunchera sat like crows on the fence posts, eight feet from the ground. The Montana Kid waa among the crows. From the veranda of the ranch house, he looked like any of the others except that his shoulders were a little wider and the big double cord of back muscle could be distinguished even at that distance, and through the ablrt. Ruth Lavery stood by one of the porch pillars. "We ought to go down," she said. "There's no use having too much audience," aald Kichard Lavery. "That would make Montana want to ride the mare himself." "He's promised not to," answered the girl. But fear changed the blue of her eyes as she spoke. "Promlaos well, promises are being drawn to the post. still only words, to Montana," aald her fathor. "Don't any that," she protested. "Well, I won't say it, then," an swered tall Richard Lnvery. But he kept his thought In the grim lines of his face. "You've never loved hlmf" aald the girl, nervously. "Honor and respect him I can," said Lavery, curtly. "He's more man than anyone I know." At this she slghod, quickly, as one in whom a great emotion la con stantly pent. And she broke out, suddenly, "You think he's only a tramp." "I don't think he's only a tramp," said Richard Lavery. He looked down at a black band around the arm of his coat. His wife had died two months before. "You think he's a tramp and something more," said the girl, speaking qulolly, mostly to herself. "You sent Dick away to Europe to get him away from Montana to get him away from temptation. You've never trusted Montana." "Now that your mothor Is gone said Lavery, very gently, "do you think that he'll be with us long?" 8he lifted her bead a little. She scanned, aa It to find the anawor there, the long lines of the valley, and the high plateaus, and the green pasture lands for miles and miles which all belonged to the Lavery estate. "We'll be married Sunday," she said, briefly. "He's put it off before," said the rancher, and there was no mercy In his hard voice. "He'll put it off again." "He won't! This Is the last time! He knows It." Then she added. In a half-weary, half-sad outburst. "Doesn't he care about me?" "Ay, he cftrea about you. And h cares about other things, too. Horses and guns and bis freedom."
