the window. Then it oreurtvd to him
ihat liy taking the girl with him he
would bo freed from Hie obligation to
await, their return. Had he not so
much money with him lie would risk
It. As it was. lie did tint like putting
in jeopardy fund., which had been In
(ranted to tils cure. He wondered IT
the girl would go wilh him.
•‘Have you a horse"
“IVpltn. Vly name I, IVpita (Jou
rules. There are horses in the stable,
belonging lo the bandits.”
“At what time do they usually re-
inruV"
They go lo a house a short distance
down the mail, where they gainhleand
Irlnk pulque and usually return late.
VVIuH I hey will ilu if they have de
signs mi you I du not know. Quite
likely they nlll give you plenty of
lime to get lo sleep, euuie in late
stealthily and endeavor p> lake you nti-
i wares."
"Suppose you ami I sho fK leave to-
ether. 1, there mil a point, uf safety
we could reaeli before they would
overtake us?"
After some llioiighl Hie girl said Ihat
if they could reiicli a ctly like Vielorla
In time to secure pruleeHuii all would
lie well. Pul if ihey were captured be
fore entering Hie town Ibe banditti
would surely Kill Hie girl.
"I am armed." said Cameron. "If
you were a ruled also il would be an
equal light."
"The men always carry their weap
ons with I hem."
Cameron did not like wailing for the
lianilits lo leinrn and was equally
averse lo leai lug the girl under the
suspicion of having warned Ului.
There seemed no way lull tu take her
with him.
"If you are willing lo lake Ihe risk
of going with me." lie said al Insl, "we
will leave ill mice."
Il was some time liefore IVpita re
plied. When she did she said: "I
would rather die Hum remain here in
captivity. Were it not for the times
l might invoke the aid of lho law. At
pieseiit there is no law in Mexico.
Itut I will not place you in jeopardy
on my account. I have suspected that
(here are arms concealed somewhere
in (lie house. If l can Hud anything
with which p. defend myself I will go
with you If not I will remaiu. Hut
I will mu ask you l" remain also."
She went into Ihe house, where Cam
erou heni'd her hunting. S*he bad been
gone some lime xvlicti he heard some
thing give way. and In a few minutes
IVpita came out wilh a brace of re
volvers. Camel'oii examilled them mul
round that they had been freshly load
ed. Tills he knew from Hie fact that
the cartridge ciincs were not dingy.
IVpita had (tried open a closet door
anil found a lot of arms and ammuni
tion.
Within leu Winnies Hie (wo were
riding jinny in tile darkness. t( was
about !» o'clock, and the bandits were
tint expected to return till midnight at
least. Hut IVpita did not hellevh that
they would remain long in Ignorance
of the flight. She suspected that they
might have set a watch on the house.
Besides, there were others of the gang
occupying here and there one of the
adobe houses along the road, any one
of whom might have la'en commission
ed to retsut any oue hurrying by.
Their route lay midway lietwean the
gulf and the railroad leading north
I ward through Victoria and Monterey.
The roads were moatlv nnpaved. so
that rHeir nurses Hoots summon oniy
wilh a dull thud. Hoping to avoid at
tention. they rode for nwhile at a
walk, l lien assumed a brisk trot ami
finally broke into a gallop.
IVpita was right in assuming that
their flight would lie reported to the
Pandits. They had not been on the
way half an hour when suddenly Pe-
pita's horse threw buck an ear. In an
other moment the girl heard the tread
of horses coming swiftly, and lastly It
broke on the less sensitive ears of the
American.
••Now we must run for it." lie said.
We must direct our course to the
nearest, town. How far Is the house
we left from Victoria?"
I’ve heard it said that it is about
twelve miles."
We've come about live; that leaves
seven. We must turn luto the first
road we come upon leading westward."
The road forked a short distance far
ther on. tlie left hand road leading, so
Cameron believed, to Victoria. They
turned into it, lull seven miles was a
long distance for a run for life with
men following on fleet horses. The
only comfort ror the fugitives was
that their pursuers were doubtless full
of pulque.
IVpIta’s horse, as were all the horses
of the bandits, was fleet. Cameron
found it difficult to urge his mount
on to keep up with her. He spurred
him and belabored him all to no pur
pose. Meanwhile the hoofbeats in rear
grew more distinct. At last Cameron
thrust lii.s hand Into his hip pocket,
pulled out tils roll of bills and handed
them to IVpila. saying:
"Take these and go on. If the ban
dits spare my life I will Join you in
Victoria."
"Is it money?"
"Three thousand dollars."
She took il and. with a parting pres
sure of the hand, urged on her horse
and soon left Cameron far behind.
His horse was now staggering. He
dismounted and. slapping the animal's
haunch, senl him on. then took to a
thicket near the road. In a few min
utes the pursuers clattered by. to And
the horse, which they recognized as
tlie American's, standing exhausted in
tlie road a mile farther on.
Then began a search of the surround
ing country, which was fruitless and
enabled IVpita to reach \ letorla.
There Ihe two met in the street the
next day IVpita handed Cameron the
bills, and lie. after she had agreed to
remain where she was till his retinal,
completed his Journey and the transac
tion upon which lie had been scut.
The oil company paid IVpita a sum
equal to the one she hail saved them,
mul slie went to live with relatives on
tlie other side of the Rio Grande.
Cameron gained s good deal of eclat
wilh hla company hy his feat, which
was added fo since tlie pvo(ierty pur
chased turned out to be very valuable.
He was advanced to a prominent poal-
tlon and has tlie prospect of making a
fort une.
IT IS SERIOUS.
Some Newnan .People Fail to Realize
the Seriousness of a Bad Back.
The constant aching of a bad back,
The weariness, the tired feeling,
The pains and achesjof kidney ills.
May result seriously if neglected.
Dangerous urinary troubles oftaa

A Newnan citizen shows you what
to do.
C. N. Baker, 14 Carmichael St.,
Newnan. Ga.. says; “Hiding ovar
rough roads brought a severe strain oa
my kidneys and off and on for fow
years I suffered from a dull, weary ache
across my back. The kidney secretioaa
became highly colored and I realised
that my kidneys needed treatment. A
short time ago I heard about Doan's
Kidney Pills and procured a box froas
the Lee Drug Co. They quickly *»-
lieved me and acted beneficially ia
every way. I shall always be graha-
ful for what this remedy has done Jhr

Love is blind sometimes, no matter
if the cooing and the courtship be
carried on amidst the roBes and ailk
curtains and soft divans of a mansion.
And when the scalea have fallen from
the eyes the sweet nothings that were
whispered while the hand was softly
pressed, are seen to be the bitter worm
wood of deception and flattery. Either
that, or the unfortunate and quarrelling
wedded persons have learned too late
that they were badly mated and it were
better that they had never loved, or per
haps pretended to love, each other. Then
suit for divorce is filed. The court and
public soon learn that the suit is the
outcome of domestic infelicities that
have destroyed the happiness of at
least two persons. So history continues
to repeat itself.
