It would have been a thing of joy, th it untrammelled gallop over the moonlit prairie, even to Chicken, who loathed exertion, but that his mood was not for it. His head ached; a prowin? thirst was upon him; the "somewhere" wither his lucky mount might convey him was full of dismal peradventuro. And now he noted that the. horse moved to a definite goal. Where the prairie lay smooth he kept his course straight .as an arnws toward tb.e east. Defected by hill or arroyo or im practica hie spinous brakes, he quickly tbnved again into tho current, charted by his unerring instinct. At last, upon the side of a l- ntl" ri-e. he suddenly subsided to a complacent walk. A sti.r.e'.s cast .'.way stood a little mott of coma trees; beneat it a Iioal such as the Mexicans erect a one-room h'ms" of upright Pr'les daubed with clay and roofed with grass or tub reeds.

They stood on one leer, chewed mesquit twlcs and circumlocutod, for they hated to hurt his feelinps. I5ud foresaw their business, and made it easy for them. Hipper ri 'ks and Iarpcr profits was what they wanted. The suecpestlon of rigpy'.s about lioldin? up a train had fired their imapinatlon and increased their admiration for ihe dash and boldness of the instigator. They were such simple, artltss and custom-bound J bush-ranpers that they had never be- ! fore throipht of extendin? their habits beyond tho runninp off of i livestock and ihe fliootin? of such j of their acquaintances as ventured to interfere. Hud acted "on the level," aereoin? to take a subordinate place in I the pan? until Black Faple should j have ben elven a trial as leader. After a prent deal of consultation, studying of time-tables, and discussion of the country's topography, the time and place for carrying out their new enterprise was decided upon. At ihat time there was r. feedstuff fami ine In Mexico and a cattle famine 1 in certain parts of theUnited States, land there was a brisk international trade. Much money was be in? shipped along the railroads that con nected tho two republics. It was agreed that tho most promising: place for the contempltted robbery was at Kspin.a, a little station on the I. and G. N., about 40 miles north of Laredo. The train stopp.eil there one minute; tho country around was wild and unsettlol; the station consisted of but one house in which tho agent lived. Black Kagle's band set out, riding by night. Arriving in the vicinity of Hspina they rested their horses all day in a thicket a few miles distant. The train was duo nt Esplna at 10:"0 p. . m. They could rob the train and be well over tho Mexican border with their booty by daylight the next morning. To do Black Hagle justice, he exhibited no signs of flinching from the responsible honors that had been conferred upon him. Ho assigned his men to their respective posts with discretion, and j coached them carefully as to their duties. On each side of tho track four of thT band were to e concealed in the chaparral. Ootch-Kar Itodgcrs was to stick up tho station agent. . Bronco Charlie was to remain with tho horss, holding them in readiness. At a spot where it was calculated the engine would be when the train stopped. Hud King was to lio hidden on one side, and Black Hagle himself on the other The two would get the drop on the engineer and fireman, force them to descend and proeeeti to the rear. Then the express car would be looted, and the escape made. Xo one was to move until I 'dark lbiglo r.ave tho signal by firing his revolver. The plan was perfect. At 10 minutes to train time every man was at bis post, effectually con-

Stretched luxuriously upon the excelsior, with tho Mack bottle clasped closely to his breast, his eyes closed, und with a foolish, happy smile upon his terrible features Chicken Itupples started upon his return trip. Undisturbed, with the land of desperate bandits lying motionless, awaiting tho signal to attack, the train pulled out from Kspina. As its .peed increased, the black masses of chaprnral went whir.zir.? past on either side, the express messenger, window and remarked, feelingly: "What a jim-dandy placo for a hold-up!" tary horseman of tho regulation fiery steed dashed in among them. Tho newcomers was of a porten.ious and devastating nspect. A bcak-like-nose with a predatory curve projected above a mas of bristling, blue-black whikers. libs ovo was cavernous and lierce. Ho was spurred, sombreroed. hotted, garnished with revolvers, abundantly drunk, and very much unafraid. Few people in the country drained by tho Itio Bravo would have cared thus to invade alone tho camp of Hud King. Hut this 111 bird swoojcd fearlessly upon them and demanded to be fed. Hospitality in tho prairie country is not limited. Kon if your enemy pass your way you must f -I hini before you shoot hi:n. You must empty your larder Into him 1 efore you empty your bad. So the stranger of undeclared intentions was set down to a mighty feast. A talkatiw bird he was, full cf most marvellous loud tales and exploits, and speaking a language at timo obscure but never colorless. He l was a new sens-mon in ivm n.nt. men, who rarely encountered new types. They hung, delighted, upon his vainglorious boas-tint', t'o- s:cy strangeness of his ingo, Iiis contemptuous familiarity with life, the world, and remote place, an 1 the extravagant frankness with which lieconveyed his sentiments. To their guest the band of outlaws scorned to .bo nothing more than a congregation of country bumpkins whom ho was "stringing for grub" just as he would have told his stories at the back door of a farm house to wheedle a meal. And. mdeed, Iiis ipnnrance was not without excuse, for the "bail man" of the southwest docs not run to cxtrem-s. Those brigands might justly have been taken for a little party of peaceable rustics assemb! d for a lhsh-fry or pecan gathering. d nthof manner, slouching of gait, .softvoiced, u!ip:cture'squ ly b tlu d; not one of them presented to the eye any witness of the desperate records they had earned. Tor two days the glitte, in? stran?or within the camp was feasted. Then, by common consent, ho was invited to become a member (f tho band. He consented, presenting for enrollment the prodigious name of "Capt. Montresor." This nam'- was immediately overulod by the band, and "Piggy" substituted as a compliment to tho awful and insatiate appetite of its owner. Thus did the Texas border roc rive the most spectacular brigand that ever rode its chaparral. For the next three months Hud Kin? conducted burners as usual, escaping encounters with law officers and, being content with ." -sonable profits.

SPREADING THE RISK ON INVESTMENTS Every month in this part of the magazine the WORLD'S WORK prints an article on investments and the lessons to be learned therefrom

The list sent him by way of suggestion included three of the better grade foreign government bonds brought out in this market, six of the first line of the second grade railroad bonds, five of the best public utility issues, particularly those in the hydroelectric field, and one industrial bond. Greater diversification and increased safety could have been secured by going into other fields, but there seemed at the time to offer the "chances" that this investor seemed to want.
