The New County The creition of Carter county is now an assured fact, and Eka- !aka is now iisted . among' the county seat towns'of the state of Montan'a. This settles a bitterly ?ought case in the supreine court as to the action of the legislature and senate. The fact . that the salaries of the county officers have been placed at the lowest figure possi- ble will keep taxes down. The decisiot was held in the balance for some time, owing to the fact ne of the— ill-health was forced to take a vacation. But everything comes to an end at some time, and the citizens of Carter county have been repaid by the verdict handed down by the court.

Liberty. as she gradually brought the knife nearer her bretisl and stared at Manuel In grim defiance. He moved away from her and, see- ing that his attempt to force her hail failed, he grew calm and subalissive. \It is true I do bear your name,\ she said, \but I could never love and respect a man ot your nature. You are deceitful, dishonest and could treat no woman --even your wife -- fairly.\ \You do me an injustice,\ he said ns he dropped before her. - - \I love you with all my heart, and if you give me a chance I'll prove that I am worthy of your affection.\ \Please do not speak of it again,\ she pleaded, as she raised a protesting hand. He arose and walked slowly to the door. Reaching there, he turned and. with the aid of his old spirit which had now returned, shouted: \You may love that fellow, Rut- ledge, and lie may love you. But he will never get you honorably, for I will never permit you to leave me!\ Then he went out and slammed the The commissioners took a re door. noon today until Saturdal Therese, who had seen Manuel when he started for Liberty's mom. had fol- lowed him, and with her ear at the door, ahe had heard every word that had passed between him and Liberty. As he left the house and stepped in- to the courtyard she confronted hlm. \So you have cnst me aside, as you said you would, for her?\ she said, as she pointed to Liberty's rooni. - \Dia she doesn't want you; she loves !tut. ledge.\. \What business is that of yours?\ lie exclaimed as he stared in anger at the Mexican woman. ' , You will find out when I tell her that—\ \You wouldn't dare,' he challenged her, \you common—\ - With that she whipped out her re- volver. She was about to level it at him when lie snatched it out of ber hand and shoved it in his pocket. .\Can't you see I'm crazy about you?\ she humbly piended Rs Flip stretched out her arma in an agoniz- ing appeal., But lie sneered at her and then turned and walked across the min - yard. Therese then went to Liberty's room, where she found her mistre!.q nervously pacing back anti forth. In- tent on telling her the whole truth, the girl confronted Liberty. • \You have taken him from me,\ she said falteringly. -\In the eyen of the Lopez to release his father, too. Fol. law you are his wife, but in the eye,: lowing a consultation with some of of God he is mine.\ \What do you mean?\ asked Liberty I b li e is n i iii i o e l n y , ed L t o:e g z o. ordered that Poncho in T 8 h u e r tr i t s h e e . poor girl, as Liberty Hs - who fought every ineh of the way, When the men arrived with Pedro, tened attentively, unfolded the whole story of her intrigue with Manuel mid of ills deception. Pedro had followed Therese when she left her room. Liberty knew she would get the truth from him and, going over to where he stood, she laid one hand on his shoulder. \Did you hear her story?\ 8110 asked. Pedro nodded. \Is it true?\ she continued. \She speak truth,\ answered the slave. Then lie turned and ordered Therese to leave the room. Then the full realization of ber po- felon dawned upon Liberty. She was the wife of a than who had used her servant for a mistress. Tire thought Increamed the hatred she had for him and she loathed him now more than ever. He was so unworthy tn llve. The onLv one who knew everything. fore leavting his shack lie called his men about him and began making preparations to steal hee again. \once before we tried to obtain the Aruerican girl's nioney to finance our cause,\ he said to -the men us they gathered about him. ''This time we •will he successful. In ortier to make certain we will capture the whole bunch in the hacienda tind make them all our prisoners. And, above all things, we must get that black dog, Pedro. 11 have a personal debt I want to pay him.\ As the leader nnd his men left the hut they saw a dark figure turn the corner and mnke for the bushes. Two of his men niade after him anti a mo- ment later they appeared, dragging along Pedro, who fought madly to free himself from the peons. Then they started for the hacienda. They broke into the house and made Poncho and Manuel prisoners and hustled them outside, where they were placed tinder guard. Liberty was fully dressed when two of the band entered her room and ordered her to follow them. She refused. Then they 1'1 to put up Cialderable resistance, now that she had recovered the use of her injured arm, she was no match for them and they soon overpowered her and led ber away to the hut. As they passed through the court- yard Lopez, who was directing his men, saw her and grinned in satisfac- tion. \You see. Senorita:I cannot live without you. This time I do not think you escape so\ easily. - Your Captain will not find you so quickly as he did before.\ - — Arriving at the hut of Lopez, she was surprised to find that Therese hnd already beeil captured, and as they ihrew.her la and locked the door she found the xpor Mexican girl sitting moodily IA One corner. Presently the entire band returned to the hut. Lopez then sent two of \You'll Not Estaps as Easl hts ?nen to bring Pedro from the barn. In tile meantime Manuel and his fa- ther were being guarded by several esperate looklng outlaws. As they were waiting for Pedro the leader walked over to Manuel. \We need money,\ he sold; \also men with military training. I give you your choice—an officer with me— or death.\ For n moment Manuel was undecid- ed. Ile stood looking Lopez squarely In the eye. wondering whether lie was really serious. But Lopez met his gaze with n piereing glance which con- vinced him the outlaw meant every word. '!At school,\ snid Manuel, \I wax shunned by my classtuntes because they said I was a greaser; my wife leitea nio because she thinks I am one. Now I'm going to make the ac- tion fit flie now. Henceforth I'm going In be a greaser. I accept the proposal.\ \Ah. thought you would come with us,\ grinned 1.opez. \Untie him.\ After they had eut the ropes that bound his hands, Manuel requested Lopez walked up to him tind, with a sneer, struck hini in the face. \I always pny my debts,\ he said. \To you now I will pay what I owe.\ Then lie sent two of his men to the barn for a wild horse which had been purelinsed ti few days before by Panclio. Whet' they arrived lie ordered thent tO tle Pedro tn•Ille hack of the fiery crenture. This they did and beund nrtna and legs securely to the animal 08 it danced about, eager to break away. After lie was securely bound they let the home` go and he dashed away madly with . the form ot the poor skive lashed to its Nick ant! min disoppeared down the rood. While Lopez mid liis gang were in complete control of the hacienda, Rut- ledge and Ills men were many Miles away:rintrolling the border for roving bands of \lexicon rtildera. As the Captain wns riding nt the hend of the rangers lie was suddenly attracted by_ smoke, which arose from a clearing not far from the main road. They had just left a thick wood, and as they approached, Rutledge pulled up his horse and raised his field glasses. It was a can3p of Mexican bandits- Tbey were cooking some food, while their horses were grazing some dis- tance away. Some of them were gambling; others were busy looking over their Toot, while several were asleep under the trees. They had brought sotne of their victims with them, for, as he studied the field, Rut- ledge discovered a number of white women huddled together on the ground, their hands and feet tied and their faces wrapped in terior. \They far outnumber US,\ said Rut- ledge, \for they have three to our one; but we've got to attack them and save those women.\ Then he ordered his men to dis- mount and, hiding their horses in the bushes beside the road, the rangers took their guns and crept cautiously down the hillside until they were with. in kfew feet of the camp. Then they opened fire. Several Mexicans drop ped, while the others picked up their guns and returned the fire of the ran- gers. A hot fight followed. The ran, gers fought under cover of the huge rocks, toward which the Mexicans rushed in the face of volley after vol- ley, which soon thinned out their numbers. But Rutledge had lost sev- eral men, too, and it looked as though he stood in danger of being defeated. o creep up e an , , ae An or nn the Mexicans by dodging from one rock to another, but the furious fire drove them back each time. Finally, during a brief lull In the fighting, Rutledge heard a bugle call on the road behind him, and as he looked around he saw a troop of cav- alry dashing toward them. It was Col- onel Dalton on his way across the bor- der to break lip the bands that had been sacking American towns. A few seconds later they reached the apot and sent their horses charging right into the Mexicans, scattering them in n11 directions and killing a large num- ber of them. They finally drove them nff and after making several of them prisoners they released the women and Colonel Dalton sent them to Dis- covery under -escort. Alter it was all over and the troop- • ly This Time,\ Said Lopez. ers had formed again on the main road Rutledge rushed Up to Colonel Dalton and grasped his hand. \You arrived just in time, Colonel,\ he said. \I had only one cartridge left.\ \A fellow needs a carload of am- munition to tight those greasers,\ re- plied the Colonel, laughingly ; \they tire so damn fast.\ \It's strange that you overtook um,\ said Rutledge. \1Ve were on our way to join 3'0.11r troops.\ \Wo would have been away beyond here.\ replied the ()Meer. \hut we had an argument with another band about ' a mile or ivVo back there. There were 'only about two dozen of them and we quieted ,every one of them before we left. We've got. orders .to bring 'em back dead or alive. but it looks to tne as though we'll leave most of them stretched out where we find 'em.\ I Then the Colonel rode to the head of his column. while Rutledge and the Major, followed by the rangers, fell in behind the troopers, and they started again on tho march. But had the brave ranger known of the danger Liberty was in at that moment he probably would have influenced Dal- ton to turn his troops about end, despite his orders from Washing- ton, go with him to her rescue. And this, in spite of the fact that she had turned him aside for his greatest en- semy. But nt .thnt moment it looked an though Liberty would be able to effect her own escape, for, when she heard Lopez and his men move away from the hut, she peeked through a crack In the door and discovered he had left but one mnn on guard outside. Then she pounded on the door and as soon 09 It was opened by the guard she grabbed him and tried to throw him to the floor. The door was now vvide open and, as Therese, who had been sitting silently In one corner up until now, saw that she had n chance to escape, she lost no time in taking advantage of it. So, while Liberty was battling with the sentry, Therese rushed out and left her alone with him. But the Mexican glrl did not get far. (END OP SIXTH EPISODI33.) s. •
