come down to Los Osos immediate'.y
for a conference with Gallegos."
"True words, my friend. But—when
this fellow Bruce crosses the interna-
tional border I will have hila arrested
and tried for cattle stealing. Then I
will send three tr'ooes of rurales to
Lbs Osos to arrest Miguel Gallegos."
"„4 good plan, Senor De Haro, but
I have a better ane. Gallegos has lost
many horses, but he still has a hun-
dred -and sixty-nine men fit for active
service. The force he carne with to-
day ;vas one hastily gathered; doubt-
less within fortyeight hours he can re-
mount and redouble his force and it is•
conceit able that if attacked by the
rurales he may defeat them. At any
rate good then will die—and there is
no necessity for that. My plan pro-
vides for the complete destruction of
these Wien but without much clanger
to the rurales. We will make haste
slowly my friend."
Two hours later the El Ranchito
convoy crossed back into the United
States at Huachita.
Burney went at once to the tele-
graph station and wired. Bruce at the
latter's home in Arizona and also at
his ranch headquart,rs in New Mex-
ico;
"Your little playmate, Miguel Gal-
legos and two hundred and ten of his
gang tangled with me in El Cajon
Bonita this morning. Casualties
ninety-eight horses and forty-two men;
all too dead to skin. No casualties on
my side except one horse killed and
one mule creased. I had to get out
in a hurry but I am coming back soon

wears your brand, vert the brand and
run the Bardin iron on every •head.
After a while you will learn that
branding other men's calves is a
-mighty tnprofitable businesi. Miguel
was long on courage but short on
brains. You should go down and help
him out and if it will be any comfort
to you, know that I am returning to
El Cajon Bonita with my men next
Thursday and will be pleased to meet
you and discuss the matter. Maybe
some of the .calves that wear your
brand really belong to you, although
I doubt it. But I want to play fair.
CHAPTER. YXV.— (Cont'd. )
The bandits on the flanks who were
still mounted haci about faced and
tame bearing down at a tangent to
join the advancing centre, while the
men whose horses hadbeen kr-ocked
over were sunning for cover A. the
base of the hills some four hundred
yards, distant. It was long ra'lge
shooting, but the El Ranchito men top-
eled'a dozen of them as the, ran, be-
fore the line of horsemen out front
lifted their horses in the final charge.
Their wild cheers as they came on
drew upon :hem instantly ehe atten-
tion of the entire defending force and
a -murderous fire brought then •lowvn
et such a rate that the attack melted.
At a distance of three hundred
yards the Gallegos forces suddenly,
turned and fled in the direction whence
they had come, and instantly the El
Ranchito men again turned their at-
tention to the survivors on the flanks.
Most of the cowboys hadefired not less
than thirty wounds and their rifles
were now too hot for comfort, so pres-
ently the fire slackened and died away.
Of course the enemy had not been
entirely idle. Men, dismounted dur-
ing the action, had continued to ad-
vance afoot, firing as they came, and
e many of the mounted men had fired
from the saddle. But at the long
range and moving rapidly as they had,
their fire had been wholly ineffeetive.
Burney seized .the opportunity, while
the rifles were . coolitg, to snake an
examination of his forces. None of hi
men had been hurt, but he had lost
one horse and one pack -mule was
slightly wounded. There were several
bullet holes in -the trucks and a mullet
, hattdropped into the chuck wagon and
ruined the •cook's best bread pan.

Eventually, discovering that the Gal-
legos forces : were in rapid retreat,
these snipers subsided, made their
way through the scrubby timber down
the valley and rejoined their com-
rades.
Senor De Haro and his comranions
climbed out of the truck they had oc-
cupied (one with a heavy sheet -iron
body) and embraced Ken Burney, the
while their glad "wives' echoed over
the valley. Then the Mexicans, 'ac-
companied by Burn. e, mounted and
rode out over the field, while Toni

loading' the men and horses in the

mercifully wafted into eternity with

shooters.
Ken Burney counted the dead. They
numbered forty-two.
"The coyotes Will be grateful to
you, Senor Burney," the jefe politica
suggested humorously. "Also, it be-
comes my duty and pleasure to express
to you the gratitude of my govern-
ment. You have but defended your-
self when attacked by a bandit force
and no criticism can be directed at you
or your employer."
Ken Burney* smiled upon him half
sadly. "Poor ::ttle sandal -feet," he
murmured. "They know better. But
will not criticism be directed toward
you for the lack of vigilance which
resulted in my company entering
:Mexico armed?"
"Certainly, Senor, but the criticism
ill be directed by those of no im-
portance. We have a long frontier
and Mexico has not sufficient troops,
customs or immigration officials to.
guard it. I shall disclaim responsi-
bility,"
"Nevertheless," Burney reminded
hint, "The same lack of vigilance will
not be possible again. When I return
to El Cajon Bonita, as I -lust, I will
have to cross the line at some un-
guarded point and at night. It would
not be kind of me to embarrass you,
Senor De Haro."

"Perhaps that would be the better
plan, Senor Burney. But there is a
certain amount of sorrow mingled
with the joy of this tremendous 'vic
tory. 1 fail to find Miguel Gallegos

"He who fights and runs away may

to reach Martin Bruce about the time
he receives a hurry -up call from Gal-
legos,". he decided.
From the telegraph station he strol-
led over to the International Hotel
where he related to all and sundry the
tale of his adventure of the morning
in El Cajcn Bonita. Nor did he hesi-
tate to pay his respects to Bruce and
Gallegos. In no uncertain terms he
branded them as liars, thieves and
murderers, and announced his inten-
tions of seeing to it personally that
the first fall rains should start grass
growing verdantly over their graves.
To half a dozen hien he imparted, in
confidence, his intention of doubling
the size of his party when he should
return for the round -up; he bragged
that with sixty men he could move the
international boundary down to Tepic,
And when he had bragged to the point
where his own chin music was begin-
ning to disgust him, he joined the
cook, waiting for him with the motor-
ized chuck wagon, and returned to El
Ranchito.
Tom Bledsoe, with the motor trucks,
had long since arrived at the ranch
and the news of the battle had reach-
ed the king and his daughter; conse-
quently, when Burney came rolling in
-with the chuck wagon Art Graydon
informed him that the king's orders
were for Burney to report to his chief
immediately upon arrival.
His Majesty seemed pleased beyond
words and shook .the hand of his gen-
eral manager heartily. "Did you get

,/A.:landowner in the Mg -bleeds of
Scotland formerly was distressed by
'the indolence and untidiness of his
tenants, who took no pains whatever
to keep their little homes and gar-
dens in order. He was always talk-
ing,.to the people about his, but his
scoldiugs and "preachtmentS" had not
the least effect.
One day he went to see a lady who
also was the owner of some land. But
bow different in appearance was her
property from his oWn! Here every
cottage garden was gay with flowers;
all the little houses were clean and
neat.
When the visitor, in surprise, in-
quired how this happy state •of things
had been brought about, the lady
told him that it all began with her
.appreciation of one single. flower,
"One day,' she said, "when I hap -
belied to be visiting one of my cot-
tagers, I observed in the rough neg-
lected piece • of ground behind the
house, a marigold blooming amid a
crowd of weeds, I said to the cot-
tagersf `What a beautiful -marigold
you have here.' The man seemed
greatly pleased 'with my remark and
from that time, entirely of his own
'accord, with no recommendation on
my part, he began to cultivate his
garden.
"One after another his neighbors
shamed by the contrast between his
ground and their own, followed his
good example and that man has late-
ly gained the first prize for flowers
grown in the district."
I' Such was the result of a kindly
word. A little bit of praise is more
likely to do good than all the scold-
ings in the world.

France offers a unigne departure
for' health seekers. At Aix-les-Bain8
there has been built a solarium un-
like anything else in the world—
a revolving building that follows the
sun in its course and is the last word
in the application of the sun's rays
for curative purposes. It was erected
by Dr. Saidman of Paris, who has
devoted Hauch time to the use of
ultra -violet and infra -red rays in the
treatment of various diseases.
The building rias an extraordinary
appearance. High up on a hill dom-
inating the city of Aix-les-Bains and
the Lake of Geneva, it receives the
sun's rays from the first moment of
sunrise until sundown. Its base is In
the form of an octagonal tower,
which supports a structure that,; seen
from a distance, reminds one of the
wings of a great airplane. This is
about ninety feet in length and is
divided into ten small rooms where
the patients receive treatment.
Because the superstructure turns,
these treatment rooms 'have always
the full light .of 'the sun. Each, more
over, has three ultra -violet lamps and
several infra -red lamps. The roof
and the windows are so arranged
that the patient may he placed in the
open air without any possibility of
his being seen by persons outside the
building.

larium so that each patient can re-

the solarium is equipped comprises

is the most accurate and powerful
instrument yet devised for measur-

persons suffering from rheumatism,
