PAGE RTX MEDFORD MATT. TRIBUNE, MEDFOim OREGON. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1935. A RAPID-FIRE SYSOrsiS: ilnteo Rubrit and Brother Patrual have ridden north into the i:mted Statee to eft the Montana Kid'a htlp in recovering the emerald crotcn of Our Lady, Mtolen by the governor from the church in Duroua. liu tricking Mon tana into a fight that I the law on him, thru ecparnte him from Ruth Lnrrru. hie bride-to-be. Soto theti hne tnld him about the crotrn, end he imit on htipina them, fftving a hit reason the daughter of an inn-keeper of Ouraya, Chapter 11 INDURAYA T "HE friar walked or ran moat of the way south; and he aeemed to spend more energy pulling the mule after him than In getting hla own bulk over the ground. Only when the way was level and there was a chance for a lope or a brisk trot would he step Into the saddle and ride the mule through the dust which the horses raised. "Why does he do It?" asked Mon tana. "Once a mule that was carrying him through the mountains slipped on a frozen rock and broke its leg," answered Rubrli. "Since then he takes pity on four-legged beasts. I had to stamp and rage to make blm ride, on the way north with me. Even then he would not take a horse. A mule was too good for him, he said. You see, he I . but a child." "A child that moves mountains, eh?" snld Montana. "But why did he conn north with you?" "He had heard the thousand atorles about you, brother. He was hungry to see your face. That will make him a great man with the shepherds and the villagers." "Ah! So that was the reason murmured Montana. nut though he smiled, the first doubt had entered his soul, coldly. He saw that he woujd have to be on his guard from now on. As they came through the hills Into view of Duraya, the sunset flared and died quickly. It made the white walls of the town bloom for a moment. It made the looping river run red. Then the soft twilight rose out of the valleys, overflowed the hills, Invaded the sky, and brought down the atars. They descended Into the plain. "You tell me, Brother Pascual," said Montana. "Shall I pass as a true Mexican cowboy?" "Why not, dear friend?" asked the friar. "Your hair Is black. And now that you have rubbed a little of that stain Into your skin, you are as dark as most. Your hair Is already black, and as for the blue eyes, those are found In Mexico often enough. "Besides, the red mare Is the sort of horse that a famous charro would ride. And you have a suit of yellow leather with silver spangles all over It. The good Mexican speech comes Bp easily off your tongue that even I; who know, at times, forget the truth about you." "Tell me, also," said Montana, laughing, "If you think that you could ever really open your heart to a gringo." After a long pause the friar said: "I can at least try, my friend. All men are the children of one God. Bo I can at least try!" N DURAYA they separated. 1 The friar went to the church. But the bishop was not there. So he went to the bishop's palace and climbed the stairs which were open and unguarded day and night In order that the poorest of the poor might come to the Bishop Emlllano In the little, bare, upper room which was all that he reserved tor himself out of the splendors he might have enjoyed. That was why little Bisho Emlll ano, kneeling In prayer with only two candles to light the wooden cross on the naked wall of his room, paid no heed when the friar entered and kneeled In turn. The poor often did this. The bishop was only vaguely aware that another presence was there, and It was some time before he looked over and found that Brother Pascual had returned to him. He started up at once and went to the kneeling giant. "Give mo your blessing," said the filar, earnestly, without rising. Even on his knees he was almost as tail as the bishop. "Give me a blessing of a special grace, for I hare done a thing that will bring much evil on aiy country." "Whet thing have you done asked the bishop. "I have helped bring Into Mexico a terrible man," said the friar.

That Is known man and a lawbreaker." Ha Is - lawbreaker," said tbs friar, "and In fact he breaks the law so well that Rubrlz would not try to steal away the emerald crown of Our Lady unless be had the help of the gringo." Are they not great enemies?" asked the bishop. "The story Is that the gringo stole away the foster son of Rubrli." "They are great enemies, but also they love one another," ssld the frlsr. What sort of a man Is El Keed?" asked the bishop. 'He Is a man swift enough to catcb a mountain goat ana almost Dig enough to eat one." "A great, sour brute?" "It would be better If be were a sour brute. No, ne is a smiling danger. Men cannot help trusting him. The women look as though they were seeing their first man." "But has he actually come to help Rubrli steal the emeralds?" 'That Is vhy he has come. Partly to steal the emeralds, but more to find trouble and adventure." "Will he need a large reward, Pas cual?" 'The danger he finds will be his reward." "You speak of a reckless fellow, but not of a bad man, I think," said the little bishop. "I speak of a Are," said Pascual. "Some men may be able to warm their hands at it, but others will soon be yelling Inside the flames." MATEO RUBRIZ, at this time, was nWHnff In the house of a friend at the edge of the town. It was a poor shack of 'dobe with only one room. On a mattresa In a corner lay three grimy children, sleeping In spite of the lamplight that shone In their faces. The wife of the family was un dressing behind a rag of an old red curtain. Her husband sat at the table with Rubrlz. The peon kept smack ing his thick lips over his pulque. He looked at his drink with astonished eyes, and with continued amaze ment stared at his guest. For here sat a fortune In the skin of a man. But to Oflate, and to Onato's fami ly, the bandit appeared as a good angel. He could trust them absolute ly. They would hardly allow him to spend enough money to buy the very food that he consumed. And they dreaded almost more than they de sired the gold piece which he al ways left behind him when he dis appeared. It was in the house of Ofiat- that Rubrlz had wished to put El Keed, also, hut Montnna refused, point blank. "You'll He In a soft bod," said Rubrlz, "and you'll sleep sound even after the Rurales are In the room!" "Well," Montana would answer, "I'd rather wake up and see Rurales than chickens on the rafters and pigs on the floor." So now he was verging towards the most prosperous Inn In the town, and the mare passed like a sheen of red silk through the lamplight that passed out a few steps from door and window. She went daintily, sniffing at tbe myriad ordors of man and cookery and dogs and pigs and chickens that crossed and recroased In the air, be sides that other scent which some times made her throw her head high as she perceived the acrid air from the mountain desert blown In from afar. Her rider sat crosswise, with his left leg thrown over the high pom mel of the saddle. He carried under his arm a guitar which he had picked up cheap In a muslcshop. Now that It was tuned, he struck out a few soft chords and then let his voice start ringing In a very old Spanish song. That song penetrated Into the Inn of Miguel Santos, where every chair around the little tables was filled and clgaret butts lay about every where on the earthen floor, and the lamplight showed nothing very clearly eicept the faces ot the dirty playing-cards and the lower twists and whorls of smoke. Miguel Santos himself had step ped out from behind his little bar and had gone Into the small back room where the more sorlous games of chance were In progress. (Copyright, JPJI, Harper 4 Brother!)
