• ...THE.EKALAKA' EAGLE r• , st. • LIDER A ROMANCE Or OLD MEXICO 'HAAN LOAN -NOVELIZED FROM THE PHO- TOPLAY SERIAL OF THE' SAME NAME. RELEASED BY 'THE UNIVERSAL FILM MAN- UFACTURING COMPANY SYNOPSIS. Col. James Horton. wealthy Mexican' land owner, dies leaving his property to his daughter, Liberty, when she shall ar- rive at the age of twenty-one. Until that time he appoints his friend, Major Win- ston. and his business pcirtner, Pancho Leon, as trustees of the etilate. While on a visit to Pancho she la abducted by ban- dits and held for ransom. While In their camp she learns that an attack Is to be made on the American town by a large force pf insurrectos. She escapes with the aid of a faithful servant, rejoins tha rescue party headed by Major Winston, Captain Rutledge of the Texas Rangers and Manuel Leon. son of Pancho. As they ride to warn the Americans, they aro attacked by Lopez, a bandit chief and hie men. and. while the major and party repel the.attack. Liberty rides to warn Ameri- can forces. As she races to her goal she is shot by men sent by Lopez to stop her, THIRD EPISODE ' American Blood. • Two of the soldiers who saw the horse as it reached the camp with its ' unconscious rider ran to the spot and, carefully lifting the limp form of the girl from its back, carried her to the improvised hospital tent. She Wft8 tenderly placed on a cot and the com- pany surgeon was called. It was not a serious injury. She had been shot in the arm. , In the meantime Lopez and his men , were keeping the major and Rutledge quite busy. ' Finally, Lopez realizing that if he was to reach Alvira with any of his men he W0111f1 have to get nwity from there before he lost the greater num- ber of them, gave a signal to his men. They sprang into their saddles. and before the.Jangers had thne .to level their gundiit them the Mexicans were galloping down the road. An instant later the rangers started pursuit. ' When Liberty revived she gasped: \Aivira with an army of men IR go-. frig to attack Discovery tonight. Wiirn t hem -I-••=\ Then she fell back faintly against her pillow and closed her eyes. The captain stepped to the entranct:\. called one of his men and gave hien an ,order. Then he turned to another. \Tell Powers to call Discovery,\ he commanded. The telegrapher called agnin and again, but could get no answer. •..• \Discovery doesn't answer.\ said the orderly as he rushed back into tho tent. The vrords crushed Liberty and ht•r head dropped to her chest. The captain rushed from the tent and a moment litter, flfi Liberty lis- tened, she heard the bugler sounding the \assembly and as she heard the clarion notes piercing the stillness of the night she wondered if they were sounded too late. At that moment Aivira and his army were within a lenglie of the border town. The NIexicans .e ,fent through that town like a stortn throtigit a prairie ' village, sweeping everything before them. They fired into every house Which had an American flag waving before it and made a thorough search of the others to make certnin no Amer- icans were being hid by sympathiz. ers. They broke into the houses, and If the head of the household made an effort to protect hitnself am! fetidly he was sent to the floor with a Alexi. can bullet in his body. The street Wf1P filled with confusion. Here finer then - lay the bodies of innocent men, wom en and children: witit American blond flowing frofn their denth wounds. In vain tI4 telegrapher at the little station situated at the entrance to the town tried to get into enninitinientiOn with Colonel Dalton or Captain Imre- ilee, but he received no response to his 0111. For at thnt moment the troopers were on the road Loward Discovery At last he gave upin despair and it looked as though every American in the town was at the mercy of the in- wurrectos. All had given up hope ot being saved from the Mexicans. Then soinething happened which filled till ol them with renewed hope. It was the sound of a bugle, and RR they looked ,they fiftW n troop of 'United :Mutes :eavalry- entering the town. An instant 'Inter the BIexicans had. jumped into their saddles and were turning about to tneet them. 'Then the troopers ;opened fire on the charging insurrec- los and drove them neross the border end into the open country. Then the 'bugle sounded and the men ceased firing. Leaving a sufficient number of men to guard the town -against a posAible re -attack, Captain Larnbee and the re. minder of his men Matted back for Nostinos. Arriving there the captain went at once to the tent where Liberty had been left in care of the doctor and told the story to theM of the battle of Discovery. _ As he was relating the incidenta of the fight to them they heard the sound of horses' hoofs and a moment later Pree Pon ecr,wi 4 01 4 WAWA tn front of the tent, nnd entered. They were. the Major, Rutledge and Pedro. Rutledge rushed in and before the eaptain ttnti the doctor knew what had happened he had thrust them both aside. \Liberty!\ he exclaimed. \Bob!\ and the next instant she was in his arms. \I wonder where that orderly is?\ remarked the Captain as he winked to the doctor, who heeded the tip and fol- lowed him outside. \nu have been wounded, dear,\ said Rutledge us he studied her bandaged arm. \It's well I have been,\ smiled Lib- erty, ''or you would be in danger of being crushed to death.\ \I think . we had better go and help. the Captain search for that orderly, Pedro,\'said the Major. \Why you dear old thing,\ said Lib- erty as she put out her hand, which was eagerly grasped by the major. .\And you, too, Pedro,\ she added, as the faithful slave pressed her hand to his lips. Then site placed her hand on Ills head. \You have saved my life so many times It seems as though it right- fully belongs to you,\ she added. \Before Senor Horton died I prom - Ise I protect Miss Liberty,\. he an- swered. \I must keep my promise.\ \We must return home,\ said Lib- erty. \I have only a slight wound in the arm . and I think, if we take it slowly, I will be all right.\ A little later Liberty was placed In the saddle and they started to_ ride back to the hacienda. Arriving at the hacienda, Rutledge helped Liberty to dismount and then he and the Major went to put their horses up. She made her way around to the side of the house and wns just about to enter when she heard voices; within. Site paused at the door to! listen. It was Manuel and his father.. They Roomed to be quarreling and were talting in loud tones. She pressed lier ear close to the door. , \There is no time like the present.'\ insisted Manuel. \Force his hand to-: night.\ \Why hurry this thing?\ argued the elder Leon. \We have him in our power. He can't deny his own hand -- writing.\ Then, as she heard a ',door close, Lib-. ?rty moved away. She walked slowly; \Yes replied Pancho slowly. \You remember that, according to the pro- visions In the colonel's will, ids daugh- ter W118 not to marry without the con- sent of both guardians?\ \Exactly agreed the listener. On is noxious to marry her,\ he went on. \How does site feel about ii?\ in- quired the 'Major. _ \I don't think he has said anything to her about It,\ said the other. \You see, we thought that we would speak to you first, for your consent is neces- sary. Then, too, I concluded you :night see your way clear to speak of it approvingly to her.\ \I would never consent to it. Pon - cho,\ said the Major, with enaphasis. \What are your objections?\ aaked Pancho. He looked worried. \They are too numerable to men- tion,\ said the Major. \He's not her type of 11 malt. Then, too, he's a Mex- ican. There ate plenty Of good Ameri-,, cans, north of the border, for her; fel- lows who are as true as steel and load- ed with bravery. She'll never consent to it, and' I'll take damn good care to see that site doesn't. He's a coward.\ These words cut Pancho to the very heart, and sent the blood rushing through his veins. He rose from his chair and. walking over to where the Major was seated. said: \I wanted to settle this affair without any unpleas- antness. But you have brought it on yourself. Remember, Major, I hold something which is of vital interest to you and, incidentally, to Miss Liberty. You have forgotten these I\ And with that, he drew from his pocket a pack- age of papers and threw them down on the table before Winiton. s' The Major Veiced them ub' and. looked ut Several of them. 'They were receipts for tnoney Pancho had loaned him during the past year. \Miss Liberty would read 'these with a great deal of interest,\ said Pancho as he gathered them up again and put them in his pocket. \So you are going to play it that way, are you?\ remarked the Major, as his eyes sparkled with hate. \You have forced me to play it that way,\ replied Pancho calmly. Manuel heard these words and a ctinning smile crept over his face. Liberty at that moment was bidding \Alvira Is Going to Attack Discovery Tonight!\ ton aird the old well, In the . cdfiter of the courtynrd. pondering over the words she had just heard. As she stood there meditating she heard someone • approaching and as she turned she saw it wns Rutledge. \Where is the Major?\ she inquired. \I left him at the back of the honse.\ answered% Bob. \He said be wes going in to see-Puncho.\ \I think Manuel and his father are up to something,\ said LibertY. 'Give me the word and I'll go in and mnke them both tell me all about it,\ said Bob. - \Sh-h. hde comes Nlanuel,\ said Liberty. ns she 831W the Modena lenve the house and start in their direction. lIe__croefied the coUrtYarti and, _ . ing Liberty and Rutted - 0, he . milked over to where they were standing. As he got directly in front of them he paused. greeted Liberty with a how, as he smiled graciously. Then he passed on his wny, without taking any notice of Rutledge, and threw himself In the . hammock hist beneath his owu window. \That wretch is up to something,\ said Rutledge. At that moment the Major and ran- cho were having ji warm session in the living room of the latter's quer- tent. ..And Manuel, as he lay back in the hammock, could hear .every word of it. The Major had been Informed by Manuel that his father wanted to aee him, and as soon as he had put his horse up Winston went directly to the bouse. \Manuel told me you wanted to see tneP said the Major as he shook hands with his partner. . \Yes replied Pancho. • \Something nbout the estate?\ in- quired Major Winston. \Well„not exactly that,\ replied P rilfledge good -night, and aq, watelled the two he was amused, for he was certain that before many nights passed she would be the wife of Nian- uel Leon. He grinned as he saw the ranger kiss her as they parted. Someone else saw the kiss. and someone else saw the covetous smile that passed over Manuel's countenance as he enviously watched young Itut- ledge. It was Therese. She was sit- ting nt her bedroom window. on the opposite side of the courtyard. -She withdrew from the window, threiZ: herself on the bed and wept agonizing teara. She was only a poor Niexienn girl, but she knew she was pow destined to marry someone other than Manuel. Finally she arose and, picking up ber serape, she put it around her. Then she looked around the room, as though she was taking a parting look. Slowly she walked over to the dresser and.- opening the top drawer, took out a revolver and placed It in her belt. Then she crept Quietly out. Liberty had said good -night to Rut- ledge and was on her way emelt the courtyard to her room when she heard more ion I talking in Pancho's apart- tnents. This time It was the Major'a voice and, as mho recognised It, Liber- ty stepped quietly up to the door and listened again. \You wouldn't dare!\ she heard him say to Poncho. \You have lost twenty thousand dol- lars' worth of the estate left in Your care!\ shouted Poncho. \Here are the proofs! Unless Liberty Horton marries my son Inside of a month I'll take this matter through the courts. Federal prison, court -Martial or mar- riage.? I leave it to you, senor!\ \You can put me in hell before I'll urge Jim Horton's girl -to marry any Pancho. \It concerns Miss Liberty.\ coffee -colored greaser in Mexico!\ \Miss Liberty, eh?\ answered the , ,eXclalMed the mnjor.
