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. Why did
you come here?"

"And you are El Keed?" laid Juan-Sllva,
"Bocauso ten thousand pesos are
posted up lor mo."
"You wore hunted, eh?"
"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

"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.
NRA HELD INVALID
BY FEDERAL JUDGE
NEW ORLEANS. March 7 (API
In an oral opinion handed down to
day, Judge Wayne O. Borah of United
States district court here ruled the
NRA unconstitutional.
In so ruling Judge Borah denied a
petition of the government which ap
plied for an Injunction to restrain
the Hammond Boi Company, Inc..
of Hammond. La, from violating the
minimum wage and maximum price
prsv!rr,r.s cf the lumber code
Judge W. I. Gruhb. In federal dis
trict court at Birmingham. Ala.,
sometime ago ruled similarly In a
lumber case which since has been
appealed to the United States su
preme court.
The Hammond Boi Company. Inc..
Is Included In the "wooden packnue
division, American veneer subdivis
ion," of the lumber axle.
Well," said Juan-Sllva, c...

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.

breath In unison. Juan-Stlva said:
"That is very good. Vou are El Keed
I am almost sure. How can yo
make me quite cortaln, my friend?'
"Question me," said Montana.
"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.
