Chapter 37 SHOOTING PEBBLES LOOK of wonder ran over the faces of the guards. They turned their heads ever so little towards one another. A glimmer of appre hension and relief came .mo their eyes. They had learned one new point In the endless riddle of their master'! mind. "And why have you wanted to ride through Mexico, up and down?" asked Juan-Stlva. "It Is a great country, with plenty to see." said Montana, "And I have seen most ot It!" he boasted. "If you have seen It, why do you" atlll come?" "To see It all again, sefior." "And you are EI Keed? Even I have heard of him," said Juan-Sllva. "Now, tell me the truth and I think there'll be no harm for you here In the Valley of the Dead.

"Every man In the mountains was cleaning his rifle. The cattle men were Uxlng their eyes (or me. The hepherds, even, were whetting their knives." "And at last they drove vou In here for refuge?" "I thought It waa better to be a living man among the dead than a dead man among the living." "Do you hear, my children?" aald Juan-Sllva. "Thla man la also witty. Very soon be will have me laughing. El Keed Is known to be a pleasant fellow and perhaps thla la really El Keed. Think, then, It I catch In my hand. In one day, a ftlar and El Keed, walking together! But El Keed," he went on, "carrlea with him a magic pair ot guna that never mini." "Mine miss plenty of times," said Montana, frankly. IT WAS not hea'. that waa making hlra sweat, now; It waa the thought ot Joining those rows, of chained laborers In the Hold. "Set him free, toot and band," commanded Juan-Sllva. This was done Instantly. Juan Sllva dipped his hand and his with ered arm Into the water that ran before him and picked out one ot the big, shining while pebbles. As soon as It was taken from the water the silver brilliance began to leave IL "This Is a bird. It takes wing. Shoot II, triond!" said Juan-Sllva, and tossed the stone Into the air. The gun flashed Into the hand ot the Kid, but he missed that best mo ment when the stone bangs a trifle at the top of the throw. He missed It there; be missed It as It gathered speed In the descent; but his third ounet turned the rock Into a puff ot wnite dust when It was Jusi above the ground.

Well," said Juan-Sllva, c... til head critically to one side, "iki. is very good, but that Is not El Keed. Try again!" He picked up two stoi.es and threw them very high and to a dis tance. The Kid, turning, found the terrible aun in his eyes. The stones were little black specks. One of them ha knocked Into nothlngless at the top of Its rise. The other he missed twice as It fell He was half blind with the dazzle: he beard the stone fall on the grave) of that naked patio. The sound was a voice to him. He heard a slight murmur among the guards, and saw the flash ot their malice. "And that," said Juan-Sllva, "was still worse. But all good things come In threes. So here you are again!" Three flashing pebbles he threw this time. The second gun was al ready In the band ot the Kid. Willi his scowling brows be made u shadow that enabled him to look close to the sun. He dared not miss and therefore he held his Are s heart-taking Instant befort, each shot. THE first stone dlsappearef at the top of Its rise, the second as II began to fall, and the third when It was a foot from the ground.

"Thla man, this gringo, this fa mous Montana who has ridden through our Mexico and left deac men behind blm, he Is also a singer eh? I'o sings the good songs, tbi old songs. I have beard about that too. Will you sing tor me, friend?" He leaned forward with hla chic cupped In bis hand, hla elbow on bis knee. And the Kid searched hit memory eagerly. Then, after hum mlng a note or two, be smiled and struck Into that famous old stirring song ot another age: "Land and house, horso and sad die." "Good," said the old man, closing bis eyes aa thougb the song were still running through his mind. "Very good, and now you are twice El Keed. De It three times and we are friends. But as I said before, all right things are In threes. "And, El Keed, 1 have heard, as hunter Is like a cat that sees In the dark. You shall have that chance. If you sea In the dark, yoi are El Keed and no other. Besides, 1 shall give you a chance to do something that will be very famous, afler wards." He pointed to the thin-faced cap tain of the guard. "Take him to the room of the old mill. See that not a single ray of light Is entering. The room la close. He will not want many clothes. Strip him to one garment. Since he loves our Mexico so woll. he must love the machete ot our peons, also. Give hlra a good one, a .harp one. Be fair with him, and afterwards call up three prisoners who are new In the valley. Big men, strong men. quick men." iCopyrlght. H3i, Rarver 4 Brother Tomorrow a battle In th, thick d4rk b.elni. DECLARED DEAD WASHINGTON, March 7.
