TREACHERY
OH HO!" murmured the general.
"Are you talking to me about
marriage?"
"I'm talking to jrou about noth
ing," laid Roslta.
"1 could go a general Uke Es
trada be could go to aome big
ranch-owner with a hundred thou
sand cattle with rivers and moun
tains all of bis own a man Ilk"
Estrada could find a man with a for
tune and a daughter. Kb. Roslta?"
"Well, there are plenty of them."
"But let me te.'. you I am going to
be rich In my own right And then.
Roslta well, 1 have eyes and I've
used them. Do you understand? You
are enough for me In yourself."
She jerked around towards blm.
"Ah. Is It that?" she asked.
"Well, look at me and say some
thing. What do you see?"
"A big mustache," said the girl,
calmly.
It seemed to Montana that the
general would surely fly Into a pas
sion, but he only laughed.
"Whon I'm on horsoback, I look
better." he said. "But I'm not beautl-
"No," she agreed. But she
frowned.
"Then tell me was It the truth
-oti spoke to me tonight?"
"No," she Bald.
A little electric prickling spread
:toss the small of Montana's back.
"I knew It was a He," said the
general, gently. "But truth Is always
a welcome guest, even wher It
comes late. Who was It tlm. you sent
to the postern and told about the
signal that would bring out the ser
geant?" At this she closed her eyes and
bent back her head, as the Kid had
seen her do before. But .t last she
looked at the governor again and
said, "It was a gringo."
"A gringo? And he has come safe
ly Into this fort and gone out again?"
"He has stained his skin to make
It darker. His hair Is black. But his
eyes are blue."
"Go on!" urged the general. "I
shall have blm It I have to ride t
thousand miles to get him."
Sbe jhook her .tead.
"I1THY do you say no?" he do
manded. "Listen to me! If II
Is some outlawed man, I bavt
friends among the bandits, also,
shall use enougb money to warm tbi
cold hearts. Before long I shall lean
his trail."
"It Is El Keed!" she said, almos
gloomily.
ful. However, there are beautiful
things about me."
"There are the soldiers who are
afraid not to follow you," said the
flrl.
"They have followed me Into
places, too. They have died like flies
around me. Maybe they will die that
way again. That Is what e are, to
me. Files, now that I am General
Estrada. But because they arc afraid
to run away when I lead them, one
day I shall be rich."
"Yes," nodded the girl.
"The finest province In Moilco
I shall ask for It, and It shall be
mine. 8ball we help ourselves to the
plunder, then?"
"We?"
"Yes, You and I. Roslta, 1 speak
from my heart. See what I am. Not
beautiful. Not vory young. But
strong. There Is a brain up here on
top of the mustache."
"That Is true," she answered.
A BRAIN clever enough to see
that Roslta Is worth more than
a rich girl. Tell me, then are we to
be married?"
"Well, perhaps we are," she said.
"And then you will stop letting
your eyes run this way and that?"
"I'll try to stop," she said. "It's
bard to learn all at once."
Sbe was hard as steel, bright as
steel, cold as steel. There was no
smiling tbout her, now.
"Then we begin as frlenc s, and
hope to end as lovers?" ho asked.
"Wo may end that way," said the
girl.
"Time teaches us how to put up
with ugly things," said the eneral
"When you bear the cruwd yelling
for me and when you see the horse
dancing under me, then ynii will like
me much better. But If we are
friends, you know that there Is no
lying between us?"

'El Keed?" the general repeated
stupidly.
The anger of Rubriz at this treach

loud. The Kid tripped tils arm to call
him back to himself, ills own toeth

was seeing not Hoslta, only, hut the

The general had taken the news
like a bullet through the. body. "El

he Is far away In the north. Mexico
Is closed against him. Ike the teeth
of a wolf frozen dead. Ho will never
dare to enter this country again.
Some other man has pretended to be
SI Keed!"
"It Is El Keed," she Insisted, In
that flat voice, "In his own country
there Is nothing for him to do but
sleep and grow fat. That Is why be

"But In Duraya here In my fort

"Trfe emerald crown of Our Lady,!
said tho girl.
"Blood of my heart! Blood of
Heaven! Blood of my heart!"
gasped the general. "Why should he
look that here?"
The girl smiled. "We are friends
we tell no lies to one another?"
said she.
But Estrada had to take a turn or
so up and down the room before he
could face Roslta once more.
"Come awny with me," he told
her. "I shall send you safely home.
There are many things for me to do.
If tbe gringo devil and robber has
been inside the fort If he has
melled the way Roslta. you havs
told me more than the value of life.
Come quickly!"
They went off together, and th

also the improvement In movie
photography by the use of a newer
super sensitive panchromatic film.
A demonstration of a device for
measuring shutter speed and direc
tion and how to use an auto wheel
for the same purpose was given by
Thomas Radcllffe. An exhibit from

many forms of photography was
greatly appreciated..

of particular Interest.
In the news section, pictures of

of photography as accomplished by
talent and experience.

VANCOUVER. Waah., Feb. 18
(AP) Labor troubles which have
confronted the brewing industry for
many months, broke out afresh here
today after two weeks of compara
tive calm.
Pickets were posted around the
Star brewery here this morning as
two union factions, the teamsters
and the brewery workers, once again
disputed Jurisdiction over employes.
Union leaders here said pickets
were placed at the plants of all beer
making plants identified with the
Northwest Brewers' association. Port
land and Salem breweries would be
affected, it was said.
